The year was 1567. I was with Klaus. Our search for Katerina wasn't really going anywhere.
"So vhy did you want her in the first place?" I asked.
"Long ago, a witch put a curse on me that prevents my ability to turn into a werewolf." Klaus explained. "Katerina was a key part of my plan to break the curse. Actually, she was the key. By sacrificing her along with a werewolf and vampire, I would be able to become a hybrid."
Jeremy and I didn't say anything that night, but in the morning I had to explain myself. I was wearing a white blouse and jeans.
"So what did you mean last night when you said Klaus can't unlock his werewolf side?" Jeremy asked me.
"I need to figure out where to begin with all of this." I replied. "There's some backstory that I need to tell you and I'm trying to determine which parts I should tell you right now. Give me a second. I need to get my story straight. We should probably eat some breakfast first. Would you like a bagel?"
"Joey, this isn't something that you can really stall." Jeremy replied. "If need to know what you know."
"I have to tell you information that I slowly learned over decades." I stated. "I need to condense it. I can promise you that by the end of the day, you'll know everything."
At that time, I got a text from Elena.
"I freed Elijah." It read.
"Well it seems like Elena is pursuing that other way to kill Klaus." I remarked as I showed Jeremy the text.
"But Elijah wants to go through with the sacrifice." Jeremy pointed out.
"There's something that you need to know about Elijah." I explained. "He loved my sister. He told me that he had a plan to save her. I don't know if he is still in possession of it, but I think that he might want to save Elena as well."
"Why hasn't Klaus tried to kidnap Elena and take her somewhere else?" Jeremy asked curiously.
"The ritual must be performed in the birthplace of the doppelganger." I answered. "That's how he knew where to find my family. I didn't want to kill her, but I was angry at Katerina for leaving us to die."
"You know that she probably didn't think that Klaus would kill your family like he did." Jeremy responded.
"I know." I replied before I took a bite into my food. "Let me stress one more time that the simplest solution is for Bonnie to kill Klaus. It has the smallest margin of error."
"The cost is too high." Jeremy declared.
"Well it looks like our only other option to let the sacrifice happen and try to find a way to save her while also finding some way to stop Klaus." I remarked.
"What about the dagger?" Jeremy questioned. "If it's not in Elijah, we can use it on Klaus and he won't be able to do anything."
"Unfortunately, Klaus's werewolf side makes him immune to silver." I told him. "That's not an option."
"Damn it." He cursed. "I guess we have to find some way to get him out of Ric's body first."
"Klaus will probably do that himself." I proposed. "He needs to be in his own body to break the curse."
"So vhy do you take over the bodies of humans?" I asked as he was in the body of a knight.
"I've made several enemies over the years and I figure this is a good way to take them out by disguising myself as their loved ones." Klaus explained.
"Vhy not just compel the loved ones to do it for you?" I inquired.
"Because this allows me to enhance the strength of them." He stated. "Once I'm done with the body, they won't remember anything." ''
"So, Alaric won't remember anything that Klaus did while in his body?" Jeremy asked.
"Nope." I replied. "But Klaus doesn't have a history of killing his hosts. I can tell you. Anyway, why don't we go outside? We should get some exercise while I'm telling all of this. Some of the stuff I plan on telling you will be very shocking."
We went outside to the park and began to walk around.
"You know I want to save Katerina." I remarked. "Klaus told me that she is still alive. I don't know what he plans on doing with her. He could be saving her to use as the vampire for the ritual. Elijah may also want to save her from his brother."
"Klaus is Elijah's brother?" Jeremy asked in shock. "Does that mean that he's a werewolf too?"
"You're getting a little ahead of yourself." I remarked. "Just let me tell you and I will answer all of your questions. You know I've never thought that I would feel as close to anyone as I have with you. I've never had anything as serious as this. I know that we'll have to talk about the future eventually, but I'm really happy right now. What I'm trying to say is I love you Jeremy."
"I love you too." He reciprocated. That made me feel warm as I kissed him. I'm glad that we were alone because I wasn't the biggest fan of public displays of affection. Maybe when we're alone and inside, we can have a more private display. "So what can you tell me about the Originals? Are they all related?"
"Yes." I replied. "The Originals were from Europe and there were seven children. They used to be human, but I don't know the full story of how they became vampires. Klaus never told me that part, but they are the oldest vampires in existence. He never completely trusted me, despite the things that we did together. It was consensual, but I probably wouldn't want to consent to it again."
"You had sex with Klaus?" Jeremy inquired.
"We were never in love with each other." I replied. "I don't even know if Klaus is capable of such, but we enjoyed each other's company several times before I found a way to escape."
"You know I'm finding this more surprising than Elijah being Klaus's brother." Jeremy admitted. "Why didn't you tell me about that before?"
"Because it doesn't matter." I explained. "I have an impulsive personality. I could tell you about all of the people that I've killed, but that doesn't change who I am now. I mean I wasn't even monogamous with Klaus and he had no problem with it. My humanity was off during much of the time anyway."
"Do you know how to kill an Original?" Jeremy asked.
"Up until now, I thought it couldn't be done. Sun, fire, and werewolf bites don't work against them. There was a tree whose wood could do it, but they destroyed that tree a long time ago. Though the ash still existed and could be used in combination with a silver dagger to incapacitate them like it did with Elijah. As long as it stays inside, they are as good as dead. Klaus even carried one of his brothers around with him while I traveled with him." I replied.
"Why did the stake stop Elijah?" He questioned.
"A stake can temporarily kill an Original just like breaking a vampire's neck can." I explained.
"So you say that Klaus wants to break the Curse of the Sun and Moon so he can become a werewolf. Where does that leave the vampires?" He responded.
"I didn't know that was the curse that you knew of." I answered. "That name is something that the Originals themselves created.
It was 1621. Klaus and I were in Egypt exploring the pyramids. I noticed some hieroglyphs that resembled a vampire and a werewolf.
"Vhat is this?" I asked.
"It's just something that I many years ago to spread word of the curse and the sacrifice. My family and I created several of the false curses to spread word of the real curse. Do you see that white rock? That is the moonstone that your sister stole from me."
"Vhat is the purpose of this?" I inquired.
"I need the vampires and the werewolves to know about the curse so they can find the doppelganger with false hope that they can have what they want, so I can have what I want." Klaus responded. "I've made Roman parchment, Aztec drawings, and whatever I wanted."
"You're saying that Klaus created the Curse of the Sun and Moon?" He asked.
"Yes." I confirmed as Jeremy's phone began to ring.
"Hello?" Jeremy answered.
"Jeremy, where are you right now?" Jenna asked him.
"I'm with Joey." He stated.
"I need to talk to you now in person. I guess at the boarding house." Jenna said.
"I'll let you go." I told him. "I have a feeling that this would be better if you did it alone."
I was playing a game with Klaus. It was basically a game of chase.
"I win again." He stated as he appeared in front of me.
"You know I vasn't running as fast as you." I pointed out.
"I prefer to play the game of chase with humans." He replied. "It's much more fun that way. There's a pair right now."
"Vhy do you keep me around?" I asked. "You could have killed me along with my parents."
"I need someone to keep me company especially since Elijah is beginning to become weary of me and Rebekah has gotten herself enamored in yet another man." Klaus replied. "Do you not enjoy my company?"
"You're not the worst company." I stated before pressing my lips against his. "You are very good at pleasing me."
"Glad to know I'm good at something." I remarked with a smirk.
I couldn't help but wonder how Jeremy's meeting with Jenna was going. I wished that I had gone with because I didn't know what I was supposed to do while I waited for him.
After about an hour, Jeremy returned to me. I was still in the exact same spot, playing Angry Birds. I reminded myself that I needed to recharge my phone after I get done with this.
"So tell me, are all of the Originals werewolves as well vampires?" Jeremy questioned.
"No." I replied. "It's something that is restricted to Klaus." I explained. "You should know that Elijah can't be a werewolf because the dagger works on him. I can tell that Klaus did not get along with his father. I'm pretty sure that he was on the run from him and that's why I we didn't stay in one place for long, but I can't prove it. He never once told me his father's name and I don't even know what he looks like."
"Why did he and his father not get along?" He asked.
"Because Klaus was not his father's son." I explained. "His mother had an affair with a werewolf somewhere. I can tell you that the war between species started when his father killed Klaus's father and his family. I know what Klaus wants to become. He would be a vampire that is unaffected by the sun and a werewolf that can turn anytime he wants. So I guess that is your Curse of the Sun and Moon, but it doesn't affect all vampires and werewolves, it just affects Klaus. Do you understand why I'm so eager to stop him now?"
"Do you know how to kill him?" Jeremy questioned.
"Well there is Bonnie, I know that she'll probably die doing it, but if that is the only option that we have for preventing Klaus from triggering the curse, we have to go for it." I replied. "I think we should talk to Elijah to see what his plan is."
"His plan involves allowing the sacrifice to happen." Jeremy pointed out.
"Jeremy I know one way to guarantee that Elena will be able to come back from the sacrifice." I stated.
"No, I don't want that." He remarked.
I was with Klaus in bed after a session of sexual intercourse.
"I know that I don't love you but you do love me?" I asked him.
"Love is a vampire's greatest weakness, dear Yoana." He told me. "We do not love."
We went to the boarding house where I happened to see Damon and Stefan were fighting, probably over Elena. I wonder if this was the first time. Elena had invited Elijah into the house.
"How could you invite him in?" Damon asked in disbelief. I was glad about that fact.
"Elijah and I have renewed the terms of our deal." Elena replied.
"All of you will come to no harm at my hands." Elijah declared. "I only want one thing in return: an apology."
"I'm sorry for not trusting you." I declared. "I hope that you have a plan to save Elena's life like you did Katerina's."
"I do." Elijah replied. Stefan also made an apology of his own, but Damon being his normal self did not. Jeremy didn't do anything, so he didn't need to apologize.
"The sacrifice is happening, Damon." Elena told him. "Elijah has a way to spare my life and Bonnie will be able to kill him without killing herself."
"I think you're all idiots for trusting him." Damon spat before he left the room.
"He'll come around." Stefan replied.
"Let's hope so." I remarked.
So Joey and Klaus's relationship contained a few benefits at some point, but it was completely sexual, Klaus doesn't love Joey and will not. Joey explained all that she learned from Klaus but this doesn't include how they became vampires or about Mikael. Please don't forget to review.
