Enjoy the next chapter!
I arrive home in the morning and reminisce the final night of my life. I went to Richmond and partied the night away. I'm still in my party dress.
I look outside the lounge room window staring at the blistering sun. I can end it now and it will be quick, I won't have to die slow and in pain. I make my way infront of the window as I slowly take off my daylight ring. I feel the sizzle of the sun burn on my body and I hold in my scream. My arm catches on fire and all of a sudden I am tackled to the ground and faced with a glaring Damon. "What the hell are you doing?" He growls.
"What did it look like, making my death quick so you won't have to wait it out." I answer.
"You're not doing this." Stefan says appearing with a look of anger on his face.
"Well I just did. You know what happened to Rose." I remind them.
"We don't care, you're not dying today." Damon informs me and super speeds me into the cellar and chucks me inside.
"What's the plan brothers?"
"We are gonna find a way out of this." Stefan responds.
"Oh, right. A miracle cure. Good luck with that one." I sass dryly as I cough.
"I got Bonnie looking for something, anything." Damon informs.
"Always the heroes. Just tell me my goodbye and get it over with." I start coughing again but I cough up blood.
"Lie still. Conserve your strength." Stefan says and they both leave.
"You're not going to find anything." I yell after them.
Bonnie POV
Stefan, Damon and I are at the abandoned witch house looking for a cure for Jess. She has saved us serval times and she helped me with my magic it's the least I could do.
I glance at the Salvatore brothers. "I'm not sure this is going to work." I say honestly.
"You've done a séance before, right? Contacted Emily Bennett. Maybe one of the witches might know how to help Jess." Stefan suggests.
"Let's just hope they want to." I comment and begin to cast the spell.
Voices are whispering around me. "Bonnie?" Damon shouts.
I open my eyes "Emily." I say as Bonnie speaks through me with my voice.
"Why have you come here, Damon? Stefan?" Emily asks.
"I need your help. I need to know if there's a spell that can heal a werewolf bite." Stefan pleads.
"No. Nature ensures a balance to everything." Emily responds.
"Is that true or are you just saying no because it's Jess?" Damon asks.
"She's an abomination perhaps it is his time to die."
"No. That's not balance. That's punishment."
"I will not give you what you want."
"So you're saying that there's an answer to give? Please, if you know something, just tell me. Help me save my sister. She helped with Bonnie, please?" Stefan pleads.
I suddenly scream and fall to the floor. "Bonnie." Both damon and Stefan say in unison.
"They don't want us here. They think I'm abusing their power." I tell them.
"They know something. There's an answer. They just don't want to tell us." Damon says.
"I heard them say a name." I announce.
"What was it?" They ask.
"Klaus." I say and they both give me worried looks.
"I'll go." Stefan speaks up.
"I'll fill everyone in and tell them what's happening." Damon adds and we leave.
Jessie POV
I am still in the dirty cell and I start to hallucinate.
I am walking to my room when I see Damon spying on our house guest Katherine Peirce. She's a vampire and I don't want her in this house anymore. She is toying with my brothers, I just need to get her alone then kill her but I need a back up plan just incase she kills me.
Once my brother has left her room I make sure no one is looking and knock on her door. "Come in." Katherine yells.
I pop my head inside and she seems confused to see me. "Hi Katherine." I greet her.
"What are you doing Miss Salvatore?" Katherine asks fakely.
"Please don't be so formal call me Jess, I mean we are friends right?"
"Of course." She says. "Do you mind my corset needs to be undone?"
I smile and my plan is in motion. "Certainly."
I begin to undo her strings. "So are you going to miss my brother when he goes off to defend the south?"
"Yes." she says hesitantly.
"Well I should think you'd have Stefan to keep you company."
She gases at me in the mirror. "I don't know what your talking about." Katherine responds and for the first time I see her face drop.
"Oh come on Katherine, I know your game, your playing with my brothers minds and taking their free will, if I didn't know any better I'd say you weren't human." I announce.
She suddenly turns around and attacks me and forces me against a wall. "You stupid girl." She says.
"You're the one that's stupid. Before you come to a place you should really check to see what other supernatural beings are around." I say squinting and I give her a brain aneurysm and start to chant.
Before I know it she is passed out unconscious. I quickly grab my syringe and take some of her blood, well several syringes, now my plan is to drink several drops of blood every time I am around her so if she tries to kill me I'll come back and she won't know what she will be messing with.
After my attack I start to wake her up. She snaps awake and I grin "Are you ok?" I ask her.
"What did you do?" She growls.
"I don't know what your talking about." I respond innocently. "I was just walking by when I heard you collapse I put you on your bed, wanted to make sure you were ok." I tell her.
"What?" She growls.
"I'm sending for a nurse." I tell her.
"I don't need one." She yells.
"Sure you do, you look a little pale." I joke and I leave her room as she is still weak to move.
I am back in the present and I smile at the memory of tricking Katherine and I was right to have her blood she killed me and here I am. I look at my arm and the bite has gotten worse. "This blows." I comment.
I am starting to sweat more and it's not a good look. I hear someone come and it's Alaric and Jenna and Damon. "Well, that looks bad." Damon comments.
"It feels worse. My subconscious is haunting me. Please tell me you have something for that." I ask the three people I'm closest too.
Damon puts a glass of scotch and my ring on the door window. "Double shot." He says and pours some.
I grab the glass and skull it. "Ahh, I'm going to miss this." I mention.
"Well your not dying." Jenna says confidently.
"Look I've lived over 150 years it's probably my time, I mean I'm an abomination, I'm not supposed to exist and now my past is coming back to haunt me and some stuff I don't even remember, but I'm having a lot of fun going down memory lane." I tell them. I've been getting climates of memories/hallucinations of me and klaus in 1920s clothing.
"Well save your engery, Stefan's coming back and we need to take you to Klaus." Alaric tells me.
"Oh that's right I almost forgot klaus told me to meet him after the ritual but I had other stuff on my mind like, live my last night on this planet having fun." I inform them.
"Well your not dying." Jenna repeats.
"Look I like you Jenna but there is no cure, Klaus was just hoping to kill me faster I mean, if there was one less powerful hybrid on the earth that's dying I would help in their death." I comment.
Suddenly the conversation stops and I hear people entering the house. "Looks like we've been caught out, get them out of here." I tell Damon.
"Your dying and you still want us safe." Jenna says.
"That's just me I'm used to it, go, and be careful, they might take me out of my misery." I comment and Damon glares at me.
Jenna and Damon flash off being vampires but Alaric stays as he's human. "I need blood." I ask Alaric pleading.
Alaric heads to the fridge just outside the cell and takes a blood bag. When he turns around Sheriff Forbes is there with a gun. "Where's Damon, Stefan, and Jess?" She asks.
"You know, now's not a good time, Sheriff. Trust me." Alaric tells her.
One of the deputy's shouts. "Sheriff, over here."
I am hiding against a wall so they can't see me. "I wouldn't go in there!" Alaric warns.
"I just wanna talk." Liz says.
"Trust me don't go in there please?" Alaric pleads.
Liz walks in and shuts the door and doesn't see me. I'm behind her. "Caroline's mom." I announce and throw her against a wall and flash off.
I run off into town and the hallucinations have gotten worse. I think I am running in the woods but in reality I am running in Town I want to survive I have to find Klaus but I have no idea where he would be. I make my way through town and it seems to be holding another town event a movie night. I feel everyone's heartbeats and all I can think about is blood. I keep seeing flashes of klaus and myself what is happening to me.
I shake off the feeling and stumble further into town square. I see a teenage girl wondering by herself and flash over to her and compel her to not scream.
I sink my fangs into her and drain her. Her body drops to the ground and I flash off. I am on my third victim when I feel someone come up behind me. "Jessie." I hear a familiar voice.
I turn to see Caroline and Bonnie. "Stay away." I warn them.
"We need to get you out of here." Bonnie says.
"I need to find Klaus." I tell them.
"No you don't." Caroline responds.
"I promised him I made a deal." I say breathless "I keep seeing him." I announce before I collapse.
Bonnie POV
"We have to take her to Alarics" I say to Caroline.
"What no, klaus is there." Caroline argues.
"Stefan has asked me to take her there." I tell her.
"Is it true, she made a deal with Klaus." Caroline asks.
"To save her brothers lives and Jenna's yes, in return for a cure." I inform her. Caroline picks an unconscious Jess and we run to my car and drive off.
Stefan POV
"What do you mean she's missing?" I shout into the phone.
"Sheriff Forbes came round, Jess attacked her and she fled, there have been three bodies." Damon explains.
"What's going on mate?" Klaus asks impatiently.
"Jess is missing." I announce.
He seems shocked then covers his facial expressions. "Well find her."
"They found her they are bringing her here now, she's in bad shape, she's already killed three people." I tell him.
Just as I say this a knock is heard at the door. I answer it. When I answer it Caroline is holding an unconscious Jess who looks awful, she looks pale and weak and not herself.
I step out and grab Jess and thank Bonnie and Caroline who have fled. "Lay her in the guest room." Klaus orders and I lay her on one of the beds.
Katherine looks on in shock. "What's the deal Klaus?" I ask him.
"I want you and your sister to leave town with me, help me with my hybrids and by the time I'm done with you, you'll not want to go back, but first I need you to drink this." Klaus says and passes me a blood bag.
"I don't drink human blood anymore."
"I heard about this one vampire, crazy bloke, always on and off the wagon for decades. When he was off, he was magnificent. 1917, he went into Monterrey and wiped out an entire migrant village. A true ripper. Sound familiar?" Klaus asks.
"I haven't been that way in a very long time." I respond.
"Well, that's the vampire I can make a deal with. That is the kind of talent that I can use when I leave this town. And with Jess with us we will be unstoppable."
"I'll do anything, what's the cure?"
"Katerina come here." Klaus orders. Katherine gets closer. He takes her arm. His face changes, his eyes are yellow. He bites her.
"Aah! Aah! No. No, no, no." Katherine exclaims.
Klaus bites his wrist. He makes Katherine drink his blood. Her wound heals. Klaus looks at Stefan with a smirk. "You want your cure? There it is." Klaus offers smiling.
"Your blood is the cure." I say in shock.
"Gotta love Mother Nature."
We hear a noise come from the guest room and we both flash inside and see Jess is hallucinating.
Jess POV
I don't know if it's a memory or hallucination but I feel like crap. I remember the day Katherine thought she had killed me.
I am in the barn petting my horse when I hear a noise of flashing. "Who's there?" I ask. No one responds. "I'm warning you show yourself."
I see a fast movement coming towards me then a figure. Katherine. "I know it's you Katherine or should I say Katerina." I continue.
She hits me against a wall and I hit my head. "How did you know my real name?" She growls.
"Some investigating." I answer with a smirk.
"Well no one will find out, you'll be dead before you can do anything." She threatens.
"I'm smarter than you think Katherine I'm always a step ahead but try your best kill me." I tell her. She bares her fangs and sinks her teeth in my neck and then before she drains me I whisper knowing that I will come back. "It's going to take so much more to kill me Katerina." I finish and she releases and she quickly snaps my neck. I wake up a while later still in the barn in transition. For some reason I could still feel the earth inside me. I walk out of the barn and it's night time. There are people shouting and carrying people. I then see two men loading Katherine into a wagon. That's when I notice a crimson liquid in the distance. I look up and see a man who's cut himself. I approach him cautiously. "Are you okay?" I ask innocently.
"Yeah tripped mam, you should head inside you shouldn't be outside on a night like this." He tells me.
"I'll be fine." I respond and he looks me closely. "I need a favour can you help me?"
"Of course."
"I was attacked in the barn by someone I don't know, they attacked my neck help me?" I ask covering my fake bite marks but dried blood is on my neck. "Omg, you were attacked. Let's get you inside." He says quickly.
He leads me inside a hut and helps me inside. When he is turned away I run up behind him and hit his head with a blunt object. Blood spills from the wound. I bend down and the want for blood is intense. I touch the fresh wound and take a bite on my finger and put it in my mouth. He looks at me in horror and is about to scream but my fangs extract and I bite into his neck killing him.
I look in a mirror and see dark veins and my eyes go black. I feel a huge power run through me. Aren't I supposed to not have magic. I test it out and concentrate on the candle on the table. It lights up in seconds. I smirk as I flash out of the house in my new state and I run towards the old church where a tomb is located I see Katherine escaping, bitch. I'll find you Katherine and I will kill you.
In present time I say aloud "I'll find you Katherine and I will kill you, only fair." I say in my hallucination.
I feel a presence around me, and a familiar scent. I shoot up and grab someone by the throat. I open my eyes to see a scared Katherine struggling to breathe. "You ruined my life." I growl.
"Jess stop!" I hear Stefan shout.
"What, you want her still alive after everything she put us through, the world will be better off with all doppelgängers dead. We would be free from people like her, like Elena." I shout.
"Love you need to calm down." I hear a British accent.
I stop instantly. I flash of memories and hallucinations through the day come back.
"Nik." I say softly.
He flashes in front of me. "Why'd you call me Nik?"
"I always called you that." I tell him.
"How could you remember?" He asks.
"Remember what?" I ask. "You're a hallucination, you can't be real, I'm dying so this is a hallucination isn't it?"
"No love it's not."
"Where am I?" I ask confused and panting.
"Alarics apartment." Stefan answers.
"Why am I here?"
"To heal you."
"What, how can you heal me, I'm dying and there's no cure." I say as my breathing slows down.
"Well there is." Klaus says and bites into his wrist. He opens my mouth and I start to drink his blood. I feel my veins appear and I clasp on. "Drink up." He offers and I drink until he pulls away and I fall asleep.
...
An hour later I wake up healed and hear a commotion in the lounge room. I walk out to see my brother on the floor with ten blood bags ripped apart. I see klaus handing him one more. I flash over to him and stand in between him. "What are you doing?" I growl.
"Good to see you're better love and you're welcome." He says.
"Wait you healed me?"
"What do you remember love?"
"It's all a bit blurry why?" I ask.
"Because you seem to have remembered some stuff you shouldn't of." He responds.
"Like what?" I ask curiously already knowing.
"Doesn't matter, you'll know soon enough. Now that your back to your old self, we are leaving." Klaus annoucnes.
"We, meaning you and me?" I ask.
"And Stefan." Klaus replies.
"Why is my brother coming and why are you forcing him to feed, he can't control it." I shout.
"Well I'll need him at his best for when we leave and we leave now." He annoucnes,
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Places, we have some werewolves to find, and if you play nice I'll give you your memories back." He says and I shut up.
I look to my brother who has clearly lost it. "Why do you need Stefan?"
"Because he'll be useful as will you now come along, we are leaving in ten minutes." Klaus orders.
"We don't even get to say goodbye?" I ask.
"I'll let him, now come along." He says smirking and i nod telling Stefan to go and come back.
"Maybe this is good you'll have me and now that Elena's dead we can start our relationship over." I tell him. He looks at me in anger. "Come on Stefan maybe it will be fun, we can be our true selves. We don't have anything else here anymore and when we are finished with Klaus we can find Damon later, come on and Stefan, you didn't have to save me." I tell him.
"I did."
"You didn't, if you hadn't you'd be free right now morning the loss of Elena, which I'm sorry about."
"Are you?" He asks.
"No not really as I said one less doppelgänger." I say and smirk to Katherine.
"I see your fine." Katherine comments.
"Good as new, stronger even, you're still here and alive?"
"Yes."
Klaus comes back moments later. "Let's go I have a suprise for you." Klaus says.
"Go say goodbye to Damon I'll see you shortly." I tell him.
He nods and flashes off. Before Klaus and I leave Klaus turns to Katherine. "Katerina, you may leave." Klaus says to her and she smiles and flashes off.
"You really letting her go?" I ask angrily.
"Why do you hate her so much?" Klaus asks.
"She killed me." I answer.
"You're still alive."
"Yeah and I could have lived a normal human life. I'm only alive because I out smarted her. I just stole some of her blood by making her unconscious and whiping her memory of my powers from her mind and everyday drank a couple drops, I knew she would of killed me as I knew her secret she thought she was smarter than me, but don't just judge my appearance." I warn smirking.
"Elijah was right we do have a lot in common." Klaus comments.
"He seems to be right on something." I say. "Where is he?"
"With my other siblings." Klaus answers casually.
"Meaning daggered?"
He nods. "he tried to kill me, needed to be taught a lesson."
"If only I could dagger my brothers time to time." I joke.
"Why are you being nice, I just made your brother a ripper?" He asks.
"I lied before, I do remember." I say with a knowing look. "I've missed you Nik, but" I go to finish my sentence and slap him.
He looks at me shocked and then grins. "Okay I did deserve that." He admits.
"Yeah you did, compelling me, I hate compulsion, but I know you did it for my safety and yours I won't tell Stefan he will need to learn on his own." I tell him.
"Am I forgiven?" He asks.
"It will take time, but, I can easily be persuaded." I smirk and walk past him.
We arrive at a parking garage where there is a truck and an SUV waiting for Stefan to come back. "Thank you for saving me." I whisper.
"Of course love." He responds.
"I just hope after this my brothers and I can have a normal relationship without a girl tearing them apart."
"It's a good think Elena's dead."
"To soon." I scold.
"Hey you were saying the same thing."
"I'm aloud to he's my brother, anyway Klaus what's this surprise you have for me because I am ready to leave." I tell him.
He's about to respond when Stefan arrives. "Glad you made it back mate, I have a suprsie for you." He says smirking.
That smirk! "What is it?" Stefan asks.
"Oh come on out." Klaus yells and a girl walks out scared.
"What's this Klaus." Stefan asks.
"Our snack before we leave." Klaus answers. Klaus walks behind the scared girl and moves her hair to the side. "See, I wanna make sure you honor our deal, that you'll be of use to me. Both of you." I nod as I watch Klaus bite into the girls neck and drink her blood. "I could have compelled her to behave, but a real ripper enjoys the hunt." Klaus finishes as he releases her and she screams.
I stop her and my fangs extract and I bite her neck. "Save some for your brother love." Klaus comments.
I release the girl and give him a mean look. "I'm still a little under the weather I need more." I respond.
"There is bloodbags in the car." Klaus replies. I frown at the thought and watch Stefan look at the girl as he makes a decision on what to do. Suddenly his face changes and he bites into the girls neck on the other side. Moments later she drops dead. "Now we can go." Klaus announces and we hop into the SUV me in front as Stefan is still warming up to Klaus and being forced to join us.
I quickly glance at klaus. Damn he's hot. He drives off and we hit the road and leave mystic falls.
