Chapter11_Power Of Love
The door flung open the exact moment the rain started to get worse. Klaus turned his head around and saw her standing in the doorway; her clothes were wet and bloody. He rushed to her and caught her before she hit the ground.
"ANNA!" He shouted hopelessly. She was sobbing hysterically; grabbing his shirt to stand on her own feet. Rebekah and Sage ran in to the room to see what was going on and they both froze in their places. Anna saw them and shouted: "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"
She pushed Klaus aside and went to Sage and grabbed her hands. Still crying; she begged: "Please forgive me… I didn't mean to…" She couldn't finish her words and fell on the ground; grabbing her head with both her hands.
Klaus couldn't move an inch so Rebekah kneeled beside her and asked: "Anna, talk to me. What happened? Sweetie, what happened?" Anna wiped her tears away and whispered: "Finn…"
Mick nodded and stepped aside to let Blair have a better view of his sister. Esther moved to them with a faint smile on her face until she reached Blair. Before she could say a thing Blair asked: "How do you two know each other?"
Mick answered calmly: "She's my sister…" Blair turned her head to his sight and asked: "What?" This time Esther answered: "Is it so hard to believe dear?" After a moment Blair shook her head as a 'no' and bit her upper lip nervously.
It would make sense that they were siblings but the important thing was why she was there? Esther seemed to understand her because she started talking: "I wanted to see you Blair; that's why you're here and..."
Mick interrupted his sister: "Did you bring the weapons?" Blair nodded and handed over the bag full of stakes to him. Mick opened the bag and examined the stakes carefully. After a moment he finally said: "Good job B."
He came closer to her and kissed her right on the lips. Blair eagerly responded but she felt a little bit awkward kissing him in front of Esther. He pulled away soon and smiled at her. Suddenly a voice made all of them jump:
"Brilliant plan… A doppelganger… Who would've thought? Not even Niklaus of course…" The three of them turned around and all of them knew whose voice it was. Finn's…
Sage shouted: "Finn what?" She just then noticed the blood on Anna's arm and thighs. Anna lowered her head and whispered: "I'm so sorry…" Klaus finally moved to her and kneeled beside her; grabbing her arm, he made her stand up again.
Sage stepped in front of them and said: "Niklaus let her talk already." Klaus glared at Sage but she didn't give up. Rebekah was standing there not sure what to do. "Another day, yet another drama…" She thought hopelessly. Their lives have changed completely ever since Anna came back.
Klaus finally stopped glaring at Sage and focused on his shaking wife. He started rubbing her back until she felt a little bit calmer and then asked: "Anna, sweets, what happened with Finn?" Anna took a deep breath and faced him.
She answered: "He attacked me…"
Blair knew his voice; the creepy brother of Klaus's. He was walking towards them with a sad smile on his face. He opened his arms and said: "Uncle Ethan, It's been a really long time..." Blair saw Mick's reaction; it was mixed with longing and hatred. Ethan? Of course his real name wasn't Mick…
Ethan finally answered back smirking: "My favorite nephew, Finn…" Finn smirked back saying: "You're not serious, are you? We all knew you loved Niklaus more than anyone in the world… I wonder how you can betray him like this…"
Esther tried to reason with his son: "Finn, dear, I thought you wanted him dead as much as we do. Please do not tell me you're on his side now…" Finn shook his head and said: "I'm not on anyone's side mother. I want to live; that's a side I'm on…"
Blair saw Mick using Finn's carelessness and trying to trap him between the three of them. He signed to Blair and then the bag of stakes on the floor near him. Blair nodded nervously; she didn't want to kill Finn. What was she talking about? She had to…
Suddenly Finn looked at her and whispered: "I'm really sorry for my brother Anna, or Blair… He really thinks he has his wife back… He doesn't know that…" Finn couldn't continue because the white oak stake was driven inside his heart by his own uncle…
The three of them shouted: "What?" Anna sniffed hardly and continued: "I was walking in the woods when I felt someone was following me. It was him. He wanted to… Nik, he wanted to stake me…" She started sobbing again and this time Klaus didn't go near to comfort her.
His eyes were hard as metal and his mind just stopped working. Anna obviously didn't know she was driving him mad when she went on: "After a lot of struggling, I grabbed the stake from his hand and staked him but I thought it was the regular stake not the…"
Rebekah interrupted her: "It was white oak?" Anna nodded and let out: "I saw him burn right in front of me… I'm so sorry… I didn't want this to happen…" The silence between them was broken only by Anna's own sniffs and sobs.
No one talked; none of them tried to say something. Sage finally dropped on her knees right in front of her. Rebekah stepped aside and sat on an armchair near the grand piano. Klaus and Anna were the only ones standing; hardly looking at each other.
A couple of moments passed and Sage started to believe the story. Her eyes started to get wet and she cried for the only man she ever loved. Rebekah also shed a tear for her older brother. She remembered their childhood memories crystal clear.
Finn was always there for all of them; always protecting them from whatever that was coming to harm them in any ways. Rebekah just couldn't believe he was dead; he was staked by her best friend and sister. Life was just so fucking perfect…
Anna lifted her head to see Klaus's reaction after all. His eyes were still hard and she was unable to read his expression. His eyes met hers and he moved towards her saying: "We should go upstairs." She nodded and waited for him to lead the way but he blurred away.
Anna started walking towards the stairs slowly; she wasn't in the mood to blur. When she finally arrived to their room she saw him pacing around. He noticed her and tried to smile but it came out more as a sneer.
Klaus started: "You need to take a bath and wash the blood off your skin. It doesn't look good on you…" Anna finished his words with a hug. She just jumped and hugged him out of nowhere; clenching hard to his shoulders.
Klaus tapped her back after a moment of hesitation. He was just not ready to say a word about Finn and it seemed it was all she could think about. She whispered in his ear: "Nik, do you hate me?" He laughed quietly and asked: "Can I ever…?"
"Anna, Nik, come down. NOW!"
They both heard Rebekah's scream and blurred downstairs. Anna already knew what happened but she made a surprised look and followed Klaus. Sage was lying on the floor, grey and dead. Klaus went closer and examined her body.
Rebekah said panting: "So it was true…" Klaus just nodded but Anna had to come into their conversation. "What happened? Is she…?" Klaus stood up and nodded again, saying: "There was this thing Mikael once told us. When an original dies, every vampire turned from their bloodline dies along with them…"

Klaus opened the bathroom door and walked in quietly; trying so hard not to wake her up. Her body was covered in bubbles and foam and her eyes were peacefully closed. He smiled at the scene in front of him and turned to leave but her voice interrupted him: "Nik…"
Her eyes were half-open and she almost clenched to the bathtub to keep her balance. Klaus walked right up to the tub and kneeled right beside it. He put his hand on her cheek and rubbed it slowly; making her smile and blush at the same time.
She closed her eyes and sighed deeply; unsure what to say. He was famous for being unpredictable so she had to be careful. Klaus pulled his hand away and tried to stand up but suddenly her eyes fluttered open and her hand caught his arm.
She begged slowly: "No, please stay…" Klaus gave in and didn't try to stand up. He brushed her hair aside and said: "Are you feeling better?" She nodded and said: "I am actually, but… I don't know what to say Nik…"
Klaus didn't say a word so she continued: "No matter how many times I'll say I'm sorry, it wouldn't change the fact that I killed your brother…" Klaus whispered only for her to hear: "He spent almost all his life in a bloody coffin, what difference does it make anyways?"
She shifted nervously and hissed: "Don't say that! You feel this way, but what about Rebekah? Forget her, how am I gonna face Elijah and Kol? They're going to see me after 600hundred years and they'll know right away that I staked Finn…"
Klaus stood up and before he left her he said firmly: "Elijah is on his way, and Kol will be back soon so you should prepare yourself. Nobody's going to blame you, remember that Anna…" Klaus closed the bathroom door behind him and Anna thought: "Oh, I remember…"

Blair listened to the cracks of the leaves right under her feet and smiled weakly. Her hair was still wet but she wasn't cold; not even a bit. "Oh wait, I'm dead!" She thought bitterly and sighed. After an hour of walking without a single purpose she finally stopped under an old tree and leaned against the hard wood.
She couldn't erase Klaus and Rebekah's faces from her mind. The obvious sorrow in their eyes was killing her slowly. She wasn't supposed to feel this way; she wasn't allowed to feel this way. She was taught to be cold and emotionless. She was taught to never feel sorry for anyone; let alone the originals.
But she couldn't help it; all those forbidden emotions were coming back to her all of a sudden. She felt like a flood hit her beliefs and just washed them all away. It was driving her crazy and it made her feel sane at the same time.
Her phone vibrated in her pocket and she jumped in her place. Without a hesitation she grabbed the phone and checked it. Mick sent her another message saying: "They bought it, right? We're doing this B, hold on..."
Blair screamed out in anger and threw the phone at the ground. How did he know her so well? She was sick and tired of being this predictable. He knew how to have her under control; saying the right words at the right time.
She sighed in despair and went to take the phone off the ground. She put the phone back in her pocket and took a deep breath. She wasn't weak; she had to do it and nothing would stand in her way. Not even the originals; not even Klaus…
His face popped up right in front of her again but she had already made up her mind. She was going to hold on; just like Mick told her to…

"Where were you?" Rebekah asked calmly while she passed her by to sit on the couch. Anna just shrugged and said: "In the woods." Rebekah let out a 'hum' and started reading her magazine. Anna bit her lip nervously and went to sit next to her.
Rebekah didn't look at her but Anna asked: "Are you mad at me?" Rebekah answered without taking her eyes off the magazine: "What do you think?" "I think you are… and you have every right to feel that way about me but…"
Rebekah finally looked at her and Anna could see forgiveness in her eyes. "She is so easy!" Anna thought meanly. Rebekah finally gulped and said: "I loved him Anna, but I know I can live without him…" Anna hugged her without any hesitation and Rebekah locked her arms around her.
They both finally backed away and Anna asked: "Where's Nik?" Rebekah thought for a moment and then answered: "I haven't seen him since noon. I don't know where he is..." Anna nodded and said: "I'm going to the grill; wanna join me or you wanna keep reading the article on how to get a good tan?"
Rebekah giggled and pointed to the magazine and made Anna sigh dramatically. Anna jumped off the couch and went for the door. Her phone vibrated in her pocket again and she got out of the house and then looked at it seeing it was a message from Caroline:
"Klaus is in Grill and he's drunk. What should I do?" Anna paced right in front of the house and thought hard for a good way to handle the situation. She's never faced the drunken Klaus before but she'd heard tales of it…
She answered quickly: "Nothing, get out of there ASAP."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Anna entered the Grill calmly and immediately spotted him leaning against the counter and sipping his drink. She put a concerned smile on her face and started walking towards him. There was no sign of any member of the famous gang of Mystic Falls so she could handle him without an audience.
She stepped right behind him but he didn't even raise his head to look at her. His voice filled her ears: "You know; he always stood up to Mikael whenever he was messing with me…" Anna felt her heart sink with that one simple sentence.
All her promises to herself about not caring about him and his family were suddenly out of the window. She sat on the stool next to him but stayed silent. He finally raised his head and stared at her emotionlessly.
His face triggered something in her heart that she couldn't deny anymore. She had to admit she felt something for him. His eyes were piercing hers and she knew she had to say something. Suddenly she remembered…
"You think you love him, don't you?" She asked her with a smirk on her face. Anna raised her head slowly and stared at her. Blair felt uncomfortable staring back at her so she moved and finally faced her again saying: "So?"
Anna smiled weakly and Blair realized it was the first time she saw her smile. Was it because the thought of him? Was she that much in love with him? Is it even possible to love someone that much…?
"I do…"
"I love you Nik…" She could tell he was shocked to hear those words right then and there from her but he smiled anyway. He finished his drink and stood up and went for the door. She stood up as well and followed him.
Cause I'm your lady and you're my man
Whenever you reach for me
I'll do all that I can
She thought while he wrapped his arm around her as they left the bar: "I don't love him… I'll think about it later. I will…"
We're heading for something
Somewhere I've never been
Sometimes I am frightened
But I'm ready to learn of the power of love…
So how did you think?
Please leave a review guys...
I love this story so much and it's my favorite because the way the plot goes and the mystery in it so...
If you like it/love it please take a sec and leave a review, it means a lot...
And BTW, did you notice that sometimes I use the name Anna and sometimes Blair? Basically when I feel like she has to be Anna in that moment I call her Anna, but when she's alone, or when she's with Mick I call her Blair. You'll get more when I'll post the scenes between the real Anna and Blair...
