Welcome back and please enjoy!

I'm sat on a chair watching the fire burn. I turn to see Elijah reading a book. The fire lets out a noise of the wood cracking under the heat. I always found the flames of fire interesting. Captivating, is more the word. Rebekah is off with the new man she has found herself infatuated with, I cannot remember his name for the life of me. It is a few days before the sacrifice and we will be heading to Bulgaria in a day to perform the sacrifice. I don't want Katerina dead however I do also want Niklaus to break the curse so I will do what I have done for 500 years and stick by my twin brother.

Then Niklaus comes charging inside the room. "What have you done?" He snaps directed at Elijah. I turn to look at my older brother with a confused expression. What has Elijah done, now?

"I don't understand." Elijah says putting the book down. I stand up moving slightly in between my two brothers.

"Katerina has gone. She has fled." Niklaus tells us in an accusing tone looking right at Elijah.

"What?" I say at the same time as Elijah says "No." My voice sounds almost angry, Elijah's sounds a little bit scared.

"Brother, what happened?" I ask Niklaus who turns to me in a quick motion.

Then his eyes flicker to our big brother. "Elijah told Katerina something and helped her escape, preventing me from ever breaking my curse." My eyes turn to Elijah within an instant. My mouth is probably gaping open in shock.

Once I regain the use of my voice, I say "Elijah, why would you do that?" My voice is full of anger and betrayal. How could he betray Niklaus? I may also love Katerina but that does not make me want to hurt my brother in the worst way possible. By depriving him on the thing which he has wanted to do for almost half a millennia.

"I did nothing of the sort." Elijah tells us but I can tell he is lying. It's one of my abilities from my werewolf side, Niklaus' isn't as strong because his werewolf side is dormant and will probably always be because of what Elijah has done. That fuels my anger even more.

Niklaus grabs Elijah and pins him against the wall. To be honest, I cannot blame Niklaus for doing this to Elijah, I want to do that to him myself. "Do not lie to me!" His true face comes out when he shouts at Elijah. There is anger in his voice, powerful and raw anger. I stand over Niklaus' shoulder and let Elijah see the anger, the betrayal and the utter heartbreak which he has caused Niklaus which I got to through our bond, of course. I can feel it, I can see it in his eyes.

"I will find her. You have my word." Elijah promises with a guilty tone, I can see the guilt and the sorrow in his eyes. I wonder if he's only sad because he got caught or maybe he regretted as soon as it happened. I know if I was him I would. I do not know if I had been in the same position what I would have done. It's a hard position. Save the girl who you love or help your brother. I would like to think I would choose Niklaus but I'm not too sure I would when it came down to it. Having someone who looks like your first love whilst also being in love with the person they are, is a powerful thing.

"If you don't I give you my word, you will be dead." Then he lets Elijah go with a violent push.

"Niklaus, stay here. You might kill the girl if you find her. Let me handle it." I tell my twin brother who nods. Probably knowing Niklaus and his love for revenge he really would kill her if he saw her. He needs to cool off. Niklaus nods again, not uttering a word to either of us and slumps onto one of the chairs in the room. "Come, Elijah." I order with an emotionless voice. I walk off knowing my older brother is following.

Elijah gets in step with me. "I did not let Katerina escape, Alexandra."

I shake my head. "Don't lie to me, you know that you can't." I snap then look away from him. We reach the groups of vampires who are in the main hall. They all bow then they see Elijah and I. "The doppelganger has fled." I inform than to a bunch of mixed reactions. Confusion, fear, surprise, some actually look slightly happy (but only a small amount of vampires, though, maybe 2 or 3). "We will go off into groups of ten, Henry, Walter, Peter, Christopher." Niklaus or I turned each of them over 300 years ago and they have been loyal ever since, never giving us any reason to doubt them or to distrust them. "You lead a group each. Pick your ten and go. Elijah and I will lead our own group. Go and find the doppelganger. Make sure she comes back alive." I order and vampires go off in groups. There are only 10 vampires, excluding my brother and myself, left in the large room. Elijah is about to leave to search by himself when I grab his arm, in an almost painful hold. "You, brother, are staying with me. I do not trust that you will bring Katerina back if you find her." I snap and then point to the door for the remaining ten vampires to get walking. They do.

"Alexandra, I will not betray our brother." Elijah reasons and my eyes turn yellow as my true face comes out.

"You already have." I correct then add. "Let's go fix your mistake, brother." The word 'brother' sounds like venom as I say it. Then I storm out of the door just after the other vampires. Elijah follows with a heavy sigh.

I'm sat on a chair whilst Klaus says bye to Maddox. Katerina is making coffee, I think Klaus is just having fun making her wait until she dies. Maddox has to go somewhere to do something, I can't remember what. I think he is going to go and get my brother's normal and original vampire, soon to be hybrid body. Niklaus wants to be back in his normal body as soon as possible so is complaining about that a lot, also putting him in a grumpy mood. Katerina passes me a cup of coffee then give the other to Niklaus. "Where's he going?" She asks as she passes Niklaus the coffee.

"To retrieve me." He takes the coffee from her. "So I can get out of this bad hairdo." I chuckle at that. I've been having weird text conversations with Matthew about the whole vampire thing. Then I get another one.

Hey, so the whole feeding thing, can you drink from animals?

I roll my eyes at the text. "Are you sure that's a good idea, Klaus?" Katerina asks raising an eyebrow.

I text Matthew back as my brother answers her question. "Well the full moon is almost upon us, I've killed the witch, I have the moonstone and the doppelganger is waiting in the wings. Ohh, I'm so ready to break this curse."

For the millionth time yes but it tastes like shit and makes us weaker so most don't

"And why would you do that here? There are so many people who would try and stop you."

"Because it's the birthplace of the doppelganger." I answer still not looking up from my phone. Matthew texts back.

Oh so Caroline drinks human blood but from a bag

"I didn't realize that was a requirement."

Klaus chuckle. "How could you, you fled England before I could give you the details." He tells her then looks over at me. "But we did find your birthplace and slaughter your whole family. So I guess we are cool. Let's just hope Elena isn't as stupid as you were." I chuckle at that and text Matthew back.

Yes, Matthew, you could just ask her 'cause I don't know exactly what she eats. Shocker.

"Niklaus, she won't run, she'd die before she lets anyone she loves get hurt." I tell him still not looking up from my phone because I am now reading Matt's new text. I find it weird that he's talking to a hybrid about vampires but whatever.

What do you eat?

"And that's exactly what I'm counting on." Then he grabs his coat. "Alexandra, I'm going out to meet my 'girlfriend' at the grill. Look after Katerina."

I eat people. Straight from the vein. Maybe from a bag when I'm lazy

"Bye, brother." Then Niklaus leaves the room. After my last text, Matthew hasn't texted back probably not wanting to respond to the fact that I told him that I drink straight from the vein, so I put my phone away for the minute. As soon as he's out of earshot I turn to Katerina. "Katerina, I'm going to the Salvatore's to go fetch Elijah's body."

"Why?" She asks in a confused tone. Before I can answer she speaks again. "Anyway, didn't Klaus tell you to look after me?"

"Well one Elijah's coffin will be arriving soon and two I don't do everything that Klaus tells me to do." I am about to leave when I turn on my heels. "Oh, by the way, Katerina you cannot leave until Klaus or I tell you that you can leave." I compel with a smirk. Then I leave the apartment.

I took a little detour on my way to Salvatore's stopping to look at the place at to where my brother was cursed over 1000 years ago. It's weird to think that within a few days my brother will have broken the curse and will be a hybrid. I knock on the door to the Salvatore boarding house to see Stefan show up. I smile at him. He scowls at me. "Haven't you and Klaus done enough today?"

"Did Klaus kill Jenna?" I ask with a sigh.

"No, but she knows about vampires."

"Good to know." Then I lose the smile. "Okay let's get to business, I want Elijah's body." His whole expression goes worried. "Stefan, where is my brother's body?" I snap at him. I try and enter the house but cannot. I guess the deed must be in a human's name, probably Elena, I guess when we kill her I can just get Elijah then, no I want Elijah's body now.

"You can't enter."

"Fine, where is my older brother?" I ask in a more calm voice. Stefan doesn't answer. "I will ask one more and if I don't have Elijah's body or at least know where he is. I will kill someone every hour I don't know. So Stefan where is Elijah?" Stefan doesn't answer so I look behind me to see someone walking near the boarding house. I vamp over to the person. Then I snap her neck. I throw the body inside the Salvatore house to add to my next point. "Until I know where Elijah is the blood is on your hands."

"Elena undaggered Elijah." Is all I hear before I vamp away from the boarding house. I need to find Elijah and quick.

I walk back into the apartment to hear loud music, the smell of alcohol and Katerina sat o the couch trying to look like she's innocent. I didn't mind Elijah and now I'm pissed off. "I didn't realize it was a dance party in here." I snap and she turns it down.

"Why so grumpy?"

"Elijah has been undaggered." I tell her.

She holds up the bottle of bourbon. "Want a drink?" But before I can answer Niklaus comes storming in. "Is it a twin thing that you are both grumpy, right now?" Katerina mutters making me scoff at her. Niklaus just narrows his eyes at her.

"This body has outlived its usefulness." Niklaus snaps motioning to the body he is currently possessing.

"Niklaus, more bad news. Elijah has been undaggered." I tell him and he groans in frustration. I know the feeling, Elijah will now to everything in his power to kill Niklaus.

Katerina stands up. "You both need to loosen up." She then passes Klaus the bottle.

Then he throws the bottle at the wall making it smash into millions of tiny pieces. Katerina slightly flinches looking down at the ground. "What I need Katerina is for you to shut up and sit down." He compels and Katerina does as she's told. But then again why wouldn't she, she was compelled and isn't on vervain. Then Maddox walks through the door. "Maddox, what took you so long?"

"You got a lot of luggage." Then two men enter with two bags each. Then Greta. A witch who is helping us break the curse comes inside. "Greta. Finally." Niklaus says with a smirk. "Hello, love." Love? I ignore it because she's breaking the curse so I have to be nice to her.

She looks Niklaus up and down before saying "Nice body. Ready to get out of it?" Then a big box arrives. It's leather and I know that's where my brother's real body is. I've missed my brother's real face before re-closing the box and putting it to where my brother would be standing.

We set up everything for the body swapping. I look down at my real brother's face, well the true face of Niklaus. He looks dead but I guess he is, kind of. He is dead in the literal sense but isn't because he is actually in Alaric's body. I move behind the two witches how have started chanting. It takes about a minute for Alaric to gasp, meaning he is really Alaric, not Niklaus, and says "Elena?" Then he passes out and falls unconscious onto the floor.

Then Maddox opens the leather box. I see my brother. His dark blonde hair, his eyes which are identical to mine and that name crooked smile which he always seems to have. Niklaus looks down at Alaric's crumpled body then back up at me. "That's more like it." It's time to raise some hell.

So Klaus is back in his original body and they know that Elijah is awake.

Next chapter- It's the full moon so time to break the curse
