Damon was laying down on the bed staring at the ceiling in his room. No one had seen or heard from Claire since she stormed out yesterday afternoon. He was angry with her because all he wanted was to protect her. When she slammed the door behind her, he wanted to run after her and tell her that he was sorry, but his damn proud didn't let him. He didn't mean what he said to her, he was so blinded by rage that he didn't realized that this was what Klaus wanted all along. He tried to call her nonstop but she didn't answer any of his calls or voice-mails and he didn't blame her, he treated her like shit.
All he wanted was to have her in his arms, and tell her sorry and that he love her and would always love her. He was listening to the conversation downstairs between Elijah, Stefan and Elena and he wanted to roll his eyes. Elena is putting her faith in some elixir that she didn't know if would work.
"Tonight is the full moon. We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse" Elijah said to Stefan and Elena.
"Elena said that the Sun and the Moon curse is fake? That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus" Stefan spoke.
" Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting. But if he breaks it... He'll be a true hybrid" Elijah said.
He made his way downstairs where the three of them went silent with his presence. Elijah was giving him death glares, Damon didn't blame him, after all he did treat Claire like she was nothing and that made him want to kill himself right there.
"Then why are we letting him break the curse? We can kill him today. With Bonnie" Damon frowned.
"Damon " Stefan groaned.
"No. Bonnie can't use that much power without dying" Elena protested.
"I'll write her a great eulogy" Damon smirked.
"It's not an option, Damon" Elena snapped.
"All right, how do we break this curse?" Stefan asked.
"Well, the ritual itself is relatively straightforward. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know" Elijah said.
"The moonstone" Stefan answered.
"A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each" Elijah explained.
"And where do I fit into it?" Elena asked.
"The final part of the ritual" Elijah replied. He walked over and took a wooden box down from one of the selves.
"Klaus must first drink the blood of a Muratore witch for protection and then the blood of the doppelganger... To the point of your death" Elijah replied.
Damon couldn't help but think about Claire, he was trying so hard to protect her and then looked at Elena. Stefan grabbed Elena's hand and she looked at him. Elijah opened the box and took out a large glass jar from it.
"And that's where you come in" Elena said.
"This is an elixir that I acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation" Elijah explained.
"So I'll be dead?" Elena frowned.
"Yes you'll be" Elijah began. "And then you won't. And as for Claire she doesn't need to drink the elixir because she will not die in the ritual."
"That's your plan? A magical witch potion with no expiration date?" Damon looked at Elena. "You want to come back to life, what about John's ring?"
"Those rings only work on humans. The doppelganger is a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the ring won't work" Elijah told him.
"I'll take those odds over your elixir. What if it doesn't work" Damon looked at Elena
"Then I guess I'll be dead" Elena said.
Damon couldn't belive what he was hearing, not only that he failed to protect Claire but Elena as well. Although he did love Elena in the past, but Claire was the woman of his life now. But he would always have a soft spot for the doppelganger. Not wanting to hear anymore of this conversation he walked away from them.
"Do we know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this? Does he have a werewolf" Elena asked.
"Klaus has been waiting to break this curse for over a thousand years. If he doesn't already have a werewolf and vampire, my guess is by tonight, he will" Elijah replied.
At the Lockwood Mansion, Carol was leaving a message on Tyler's voice-mail while she was heading upstairs.
"Tyler, honey. It's your mother. I don't know where you are, but I need you. I've had an accident and I'm in the hospital." She replied while Maddox was watching her "Please, Tyler, come home." She hung up and looked at him.
"Why did I do that?" Carol frowned.
"Because you had a terrible fall." He raised his hands with a gust of wind and she went flying downstairs, laying on the floor unconscious.
Damon was outside of the Boarding House sipping his bourbon as he tried to reach Claire's cellphone again but it went straight to voicemail. This time she was really pissed he could tell.
He regret it. He regret every word he said to her, he couldn't believe how out of control he was towards her. She was supposed to be back by now, and no sign of her so far. He was starting to feel really worried, he knew if someone attacked her she would take them down easily but he wasn't sure if she would take Klaus down in her own.
-Claire, it's me. I know you probably don't want to see my face anytime soon, but I need to see you, to see if you're okay, I'm really worried... Please call me back when you get this, I'm sorry for last night I was a complete asshole to you with no reason, I hope you can forgive me so we can talk, just know that I love you, and please be safe.
"Breakfast of champions, huh?" Stefan replied walking over him.
"I'm surrounded by idiots. I need all the help I can get." Damon shot back.
"You know, you're not helping." Stefan looked at him.
"Elijah is an Original vampire, Stefan. One we tried to kill. You're going to believe this guy?" He scoffed.
"What do you want me to do, Damon? Elena has made her decision. She's choosing to trust Elijah. I'm going to put my faith in her." Stefan told him.
"Why? She's going to end up dead." Damon rolled his eyes.
"Because she put her faith in me. She chose to trust me in spite of what I am. I'm going to bet on somebody's instincts, it's going to be hers." Stefan explained.
"Well, then, that makes you the biggest idiot of them all." Damon growled.
"You know, she chose to trust you, too." Stefan added.
"Then maybe you shouldn't be so sure about her instincts."
Stefan sighed loudly, he didn't know what he could say anymore to change his brother's mind.
"Have you heard anything from Claire yet?" Stefan questioned.
"No, Stefan. I haven't, she probably hates me right now." He replied before turning to the house.
Claire opened her eyes slowly and groaned feeling her eyes heavy and her muscles sore. She tried to stand in her feet but she tripped and fell again. She looked around to her surroundings and saw a big stage, banks in the audience and a piano. Her eyes widened, when she realized that she was in the auditorium that she used to sing with her mother. She didn't know why she was here. She remembered that this was the place when she saw her mother for the last time, she felt her tears sprung in her eyes but she forced them in. No more crying, she is done crying it wasn't who she was, she had to keep her head high.
"The sleepy beauty awakes." Klaus announced. She turned around to look at him. Seeing him again in his own body sent her back memories that she wanted to forget. She had to admit he was very handsome, blondish hair, blue greenish eyes about Damon's height ... But of course she would never give him a second glance.
"What, you thought it would be poetic to bring me to the place where I saw my mother for the last time?" She asked angrily.
"Hmm, something like that." He smirked.
"Well drop dead you bastard, but this time for good." She sneered at him she zipped towards the door of the auditorium but she was unable to because of the barrier. She turned to look at him and he had the biggest smirk in his face. She tried to chant a spell to break the barrier, but she felt strangely powerless. Then everything started to make sense, the liquid that he injected on her, made her loose her powers. So she was only a vampire now, the bastard took away her powers. She blurred again to stand in front of him with her face vamped out.
"What did you do to me? She growled.
"Relax, love. This is only temporary, I can't have you trying to escape so your witch side is dormant" He smiled at her.
"How in the hell did you made my witch side dormant" She scoffed. Not only she was been kidnapped by pyshco ex and now she was powerless, her day couldn't get any better.
"Well, I injected you with a little something named Zophole and my dear Greta did the trick"
She turned around to see the dark-skinned witch entering the auditorium with a smug smile.
"Greta." She scoffed.
"Hello Claire. Long time no see, so how does it feel to be not so powerful now?" She smirked.
"You're really smug considering the fact that I can end you." The female vampire spat blurring to stand in front of her.
"Last time I checked, you were powerless" Greta smiled coyly.
"And last time I checked, I was still a vampire. And you have no idea how necks can snap easily"
"I've always loved a good cat-fight, but let's keep our composure, shall we ladies?" Klaus replied standing between the two glaring women. He turned to look at Greta "You may leave now Greta and make sure everything is ready for the sacrifice" She nodded her head and glared at Claire when she passed by the female vampire and left.
"Why would you kidnap me?" She snapped.
"To make sure, you wouldn't run with your lover boy and do something stupid" Klaus explained.
"You do know that I won't help you right?" She spitted in his face. He chuckled and held her chin to face him.
"We will see about that love." She jerked her face away from him in disgust.
"Don't be like that pretty face." He smirked, but she grabbed his throat and slammed him against the wall, she bared her fangs and bit his neck, drinking his sweet blood. She moaned in pleasure, to how good it tasted. She unlatched her fangs from his skin and licked her lips.
"The least I can do while I'm sentenced here with you is feed from you, because I'm starving" She smirked.
"So ruthless, and that's what I love more about you, Claire" No one would had the balls to attack Klaus just like Claire did, they would end up dead before they had the chance to get near him, but with her was different she had this dark and dangerous aura that he loved about her, this was kind of woman that he craved for, fearless, feisty and dangerous. He switched places with her, so now she was with her back against the wall. He changed his features and let out his fangs, and pierced her skin and sucked large gulps of blood and then he licked the spot where he bit.
"I can only imagine how Damon feels when he tastes your blood." He purred. Claire's eyes darkned with the mention of Damon, she was still pissed at him for what he told her yesterday, but she was also worried about him because she knew that when he was angry he had a tendency to do something stupid.
"You do not get to mention his name." She told him firmly.
"Oh... Looks like I've hit a nerve" Klaus mused.
"So are you going to let me go, or do I have to remove you myself?" She glared at him.
His hands traveled down to her hips and he pressed his body to hers he leaned to whisper in her ear.
"You are so desirable... It was hell watching another man touching you, and kissing you. Did you know that?" He whispered lustfully.
"Klaus..." She moaned her hands moving to his hair.
"Yes, my dear?" He hushed in her ear.
"Do not touch me!" She sneered at him, then she shoved him away from her and blurred across the auditorium so she was hovering over him.
"Next time, I'll break your hand"
"You weren't saying that when you basically attacked my vulnerable body" He grinned. She turned to move to the other side of the stage and he quickly pulled himself up.
"I think, I'm going to that nice bar you usually perform there and grab a drink, who knows I might bump into Damon..." Klaus trailed off. Claire faced him with an angry face, he walked closer to her.
"Don't even try to lay a hand on him" Claire growled, he smirked and caressed the side of her face.
"I wish you would be protective over me, instead of him" Klaus replied softly. She stared at him for a moment then she backed away from him. He faced her back, so he turned to leave the auditorium.
Matt was working when he suddendly turned around to see Caroline staring at him with a smile. "Oh. Jeez!" He jolted.
"Sorry!" Caroline apologised "I didn't mean to scare you."
"It's ok, I just, I didn't know you were here." Matt replied.
"Yeah, I wanted to try and catch you on your break so we could hang out." She smiled at him.
"I have lunch in an hour." Matt told her.
"Perfect." Caroline grinned "I will go run some errands and I will be right back." She pecked his lips "I'll see you in a bit."
"Ok." Matt nodded when she walked out of the Grill, Matt walked over to Sheriff Forbes who was sitting at a table.
"Does she suspect anything?" Liz lowered her voice.
"No, but... I can't do this anymore. I've been with her the past few days, and I'm putting on the best show of my life. But either she is too, or she's still the same Caroline." Matt informed her.
"She's not the same. She's a vampire." Liz looked at him.
"At this point, I don't even know what that means." Matt frowned.
"Look, I know this is hard to understand, but my family, we were raised with this. They're monsters, Matt. They have no soul, no humanity." Liz replied bluntly.
"There's nothing about her that makes me believe that." Matt admitted.
"It's an act. I believed Damon Salvatore was my closest ally in this town. Instead, he's a killer. They killed your sister. What other proof do you need?"
"I could as the same questioned, Sheriff. Why haven't you done anything? Why are you hesitating?" Matt scoffed.
"Because I need more information. And because, in spite of everything I just said, I still look at her and I... I see my daughter." Liz answered.
"Damon is the problem, not Caroline. You should focus on him." Matt told her.
"I shouldn't have involved you, Matt. Thank you for all your help, but I'll take it from here." She got up an walked out of the bar.
Damon walked into the parlour pissed off at himself for what he had done. He forced Elena to drink his blood so he could save her, he knew that Claire wouldn't forgive him if she find out. Elijah was putting the elixir into the box and closed it again.
"Well, it sounds like you won't be needing this anymore. Feeding her vampire blood rendered it useless. Tell Elena, I'll be back before nightfall. We'll proceed as planned." Elijah nodded.
"We both know the elixir wouldn't have worked anyway." Damon sneered pouring himself a glass of bourbon.
"The problem, Damon, you talk a good game, but you don't actually know anything. Claire will never forgive you, for what you've done to Elena. And never for a vampire... it's a very long time." Elijah told him and left.
Stefan and Elena were in Stefan's bedroom, as Elena was nevous for what had happened.
"How could he do that to me? Why?" Elena whispered.
"Hey. We've never talked about this. What this all means." Stefan replied.
"It doesn't matter." Elena shrugged.
"Of course it matters. Hey. It matters. I want you to go somewhere with me." He told her.
"Stefan, I can't."
"No, no, it's not far, ok? It's jut for the day. I promise." He looked at her.
Damon and Alaric sat at the bar drinking the pain away, not only his girlfriend hated him but also his brother and his brother girlfriend. He tried to reach Claire one more time. "Wassup? It's Claire leave a message if I don't call you back take that as a hint s-" Damon hung up the phone.
"I screwed up." Damon sighed..
"Yeah. Yeah, you did." Alaric nodded.
"I love her Ric. I told her I didn't care anymore, but it was a lie." He confessed.
"She will come around Damon, after everything that happened between you both, this is just another bump..."
"I just want to know if she is okay, something could had happened to her..." Damon trailed off.
"Gentlemen? Why so glum?" A british accent reached their ears. Both Damon and Alaric turned to look as Damon scoffed, "Ugh. Klaus I presume?"
"In the flesh." He smiled and looked to Alaric, "Thanks for the loaner, mate."
Damon got up from his seat, "Any reason you stopped by to say hi?"
"I'm told you fancy my lovely Claire... and that your brother fancies my doppelg nger." Klaus looked at him. "Just thought I'd remind you to not do anything you'll regret"
Damon was pissed of how Klaus talked about his Claire, but he controled his temper, "Ha. Thanks for your advice. I don't suppose I could talk you into a postponement, by any chance, huh?"
"You are kidding." Klaus chuckled and then he turned to Alaric, "He is kidding right?"
"No not really." Alaric said seriously.
"I mean, come on, what's one month in the grand scheme of things?" Damon said jokingly but Klaus wasn't having it.
"Let me be clear I have my vampire. I have my werewolf. And I have my vamp/witch."
That made Damon freeze in his spot. Klaus gave him a wry smile .
"If you want to live to see tomorrow. Don't screw it up. Oh, and Claire says hi." Klaus smirked and turned to leave and Damon sat back down next to Alaric. Klaus has Claire with him, he should had see that coming, he tried so hard to protect her from him and now she was held captive by Klaus.
"Well, now you know why she wasn't returning any of your calls..." Alaric trailed off. "You're gonna screw it up aren't you?"
"You think if I took his werewolf out of the equation, Claire might... get over the fact that I tried to turn Elena into a vampire?" He questioned.
"I think it won't matter, because you'll be dead."
"But without the werewolf, he can't preform the ritual tonight, which means I would have brought Elena one month before the next full moon and Claire would hate me less?"
"And you'll still be dead." Alaric scoffed.
"You gonna help me or what?" Damon asked.
"What do you want me to do?" Alaric sighed.
Claire still stood in the auditorium, she was becoming bored, Klaus still hadn't came back, and she was worried that he would try upset Damon. She eyed the piano, her fingers running over the keys. Might as well make the best of my time here,she thought. She sat on the piano bench and started play. She missed singing, with all this supernatural shit she hadn't had time to sing and play her guitar. Singing it was one of the things she loved to do, dancing too.
She let her voice spread against the auditorium;
I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when
I say I have never felt this way
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Can I be, was I there It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe
And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll send images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
When she stoped playing she sensed a presence watching her, and she snapped her head to the door of the auditorium, where Klaus was there watching her, he said nothing for a while, he just admired her. She had such a strong powerful voice, she sang with grace and passion.
"It's always marvelous to hear you sing. I remember when you used to sing to me at night"
"Did you find Damon?" She asked him.
"Yes, I did. He was brooding and moping over you. Well, he only has himself to blame isn't that right love?" Klaus tried to bait her, but she was way smarter than that. Claire couldn't help but feel a bit happier to know that he actually was hurting over her disapperance, it made her think that after all he didn't mean what he told her.
"I don't want to talk about Damon" Claire replied firmly. He held her hands up in defense.
"As you wish my love" Klaus sauntered towards her.
"I'm bored..." She sighed, he continued to walk towards her.
"Well, I could entertain you if you desire" He replied suggestively. She rolled her eyes at him, did he really thought that she would give in to him?
"I rather stake myself, over and over again" She growled.
"You know all this hate towards me just shows how much I still mean to you" Klaus told her. "You loved me and you still do, whether you want to admitt or not"
"I feel nothing for you, and it wasn't real. You used me and manipulated me" She sneered.
"It was as real as we are now standing in front of each other" He told her.
"I'm done talking to you. Nothing you could say or do will make me hate you less" She held her hands up in the air. "I was playing along to see if there was actually something worth it about you, but you just proved me how right I am about you"
Klaus titled his head to the side and walked closer to her, and invaded her personal space satring down at her.
"You're trying to manipulate me. What is it that you want?" He spat.
"Why do you assume that I want anything" She shot back.
"My patience is wearing thin. Do not test me Claire" Klaus warned her.
She decided that she should drop the act and get to it. She looked straight in his eyes and sighed.
"I want my phone back, just to let Damon know that I'm ok" She told him.
"Of course you do" Klaus rolled his eyes. "And why should I do such thing. You've been nothing but a nuisance to me"
"Look is not like I can escape you, I promise I'll behave if you just give me this one phone call. Just to let a message for him"
Klaus knew that she didn't deserve that, but he figured that she would be more cooperative if he gave her a phone back. He reached into his jacked and pulled out her phone and handed to her. She looked shocked for a moment, she didn't think that he would succumb to her that easily. She knew that she had some sort of power over him and she used that against him, but never in a million years she thought that would affect him so much.
She dialed Damon's number and reached his voice-mail to let a message.
"Hi Damon. It's me. I'm sorry I haven't return any of your calls, I don't want you to be worried about me, I'm okay and when I come back we can talk. Tell the others that I'm safe and to not worry. Please don't do anything stupid, I have to go now. Bye. I love you" She hung up. She looked at Klaus and handed him back the phone.
"Don't say that I didn't do something for you" He told her putting the phone back into the pocket of his jacket. "I need to get back to gather my dopperlganger, Greta will come for you for the sacrifice" He informed her. He walked closer to her and kissed the top of her head.
"Don't worry love, after the sacrifice breaks, you and I will get far, far away from this tragic town and start our family of hybrids" He smiled at her. She just stared at him in disgust, for the first time in her life, she was truly scared of her fate.
Katherine searched through Alaric's fridge attempting to find a blood bag, but had no success. She then heard keys in the lock of the front door. She closed the fridge door and walked in front of the door. The door opened and revealed Alaric.
"Look who's dumb enough to come back" Katherine scoffed.
"Well, somebody had to invite him in." Alaric said. "Damon. Would you like to, uh, come in?"
Damon walked into the apartment and rushed over to Katherine slamming her against the wall.
"Where is Claire?" He asked but Katherine shoved him away.
"Are you trying to get me killed?" Katherine demanded.
"I gave you vervain, now I'm here to collect. Now where is she?" Damon said. " I got it from here, Rick"
"You sure?' Alaric asked.
"Yeah, only one of us needs to get blamed for this. Get back in the house. Keep Elena from handing herself over" Damon told him.
"Okay" Alaric replied then left.
"Get blamed for what?" Katherine frowned.
"Where the hell is Claire?" He raised his voice.
"I don't know! Klaus took her somewhere else" She snapped.
"Alright. Next question. I need to know where Klaus is keeping his werewolf" Damon said.
"Why? What are you going to do?" Katherine asked.
"Dead werewolf equals no ritual" Damon told her.
"No. You can't interfere, Damon. Klaus will kill you and everyone you've ever met and by that I mean Claire!" Katherine told him.
"He can't kill her. He needs her for the sacrifice, and she is hard to kill. I just need to delay this thing" Damon replied.
"No, no way" Katherine protested.
"You should like this. It's going to buy another month of your pathetic life" Damon huffed.
"Right. Except that I'm not the vampire he's planning on sacrificing" Katherine smirked.
"What?" Damon frowned.
"Yeah. He's got Caroline Forbes and Tyler Lockwood. Therefore, I'm in the clear" Katherine smiled.
"And where'd he get that idea from?" Damon growled at her.
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey, I'm just trying to stay alive long enough to get myself out of here" Katherine said.
"What if I told you Elena had vampire blood in her system?" Damon looked at her.
"What?" Katherine exclaimed.
"Imagine how much fun that will be competing with Elena for Stefan's love for, I don't know, forever" Damon smirked.
"The tomb. He's got them in the tomb. And as for Claire, I really don't have any idea where she is" Katherine gave in.
"Thank you" Damon smirked and left.
In the tomb Caroline and Tyler were chained sitting across of each other. The blonde vampire groaned and wake up to look at the werewolf who was already awake.
"Tyler?" She called.
"You alright?" Tyler asked.
"Yeah. I think so." She tried to break free from the chains but it no success.
"I already tried." He told her.
"Those witches vervained me." Caroline growled.
"Who were they?" Tyler asked.
"I think they're with Klaus." Caroline replied.
"Who the hell is Klaus?" Tyler frowned.
"Tyler... You shouldn't have come back here." Caroline whispered.
Stefan and Elena were walking up to the mountain, as they were talking about Elena becoming a vampire.
"I guess Bonnie will have to make me a daylight ring." She replied.
"Yeah, piece of cake." Stefan shrugged.
"And I'll never be able to watch 'Bambi' again." Elena said.
"I definitely wouldn't recommend doing that." He smiled.
"What the best part about being a vampire?" Elena questioned.
"Ah. You feel like you could do anything. Be anyone. Beautiful things are more beautiful. Everything's heightened, you just live more intensely, love more powerfully." He smiled at her.
"And the worst?" She asked.
"Ah, you know the worst." He sighed.
"Aside from the blood." Elena replied. He stopped and turned to look at her.
"Anger becomes rage. When you're sad, you're in despair. Grief. Loss. It can cripple you... That's why many of us try to turn our emotions off.. It's just becomes to overwhelming. You know, for a while, for me, the good just wasn't worth the bad." He explained.
"How long before you learned to handle both?" She looked at him.
"Well, I'm still trying. Everyday. What else?" Stefan asked her.
"Let's just keep going. We're not even halfway to the top." Elena told him as she continued to walk again.
Damon was walking through the woods down to the entrance of the tomb. When Maddox appeard behind him.
"Which one are you trying to save? The blonde, or the wolf? Did you really think Klaus would leave them unprotected?" He scoffed.
"Wishful thinking." Damon nodded, he zipped towards Maddox and tackled him to the ground with his hands around his neck. But the warlock shoved him across the woods with a gust of wind. He got up and sent a shot of pain through Damon's body and the vampire struggled in pain. But the warlock got shot from behind and dropped to the floor.
Damon got up and snapped Maddox's neck killing him, as he looked over to Matt who was holding a shotgun.
"What are you doing here?" Damon questioned.
"Where's Caroline?" He demanded.
"Listen, man. Not a good time to play the hero." Damon rolled his eyes.
"Where is she? And what did he do to her." Matt pointed the gun to him.
"I'm just here to rescue her." Damon held his hands in surrender as he rushed to him and used the shotgun against the human boy smacking against his head, and he dropped to the ground unconscious.
"You're lucky I already screwed up once today or you'd be dead..." He replied as he noticed that the shotgun was loaded with wooden bullets.
It was already dark when Caroline, Damon and Tyler walked out of the tomb. The female vampire saw Matt laying on the floor unconscious and rushed over him.
"Hey, Matt!" She looked over at Damon "Hey. Did you hit him!"
"Did you already forget about the part with the gun and the wooden bullets?" Damon asked.
Tyler dropped to his knees and felt a pain shoting through his chest, he looked up and saw that the full moon was almost there. "Tyler? Tyler?" Caroline asked concerned.
"It's starting." He gasped.
"Grab boy wonder and let's go." Damon told her.
Caroline helped Matt up and they ran deep into the woods to head over to the old Lockwood cellar where Tyler was going to lock himself up.
Stefan parked his car at the Boarding House. He got out of the car and walked over and opened the car door for Elena.
"Thanks for today" Elena nodded.
Stefan felt a presence behind them, he turned around and put himself in fron of Elena. They turned to see Klaus standing there.
"You got me all nervous. I thought maybe you'd done something stupid. You ready, my dear?" Klaus asked.
"I'm ready" Elena said. She began to walk towards him but Stefan stopped her.
"No" He protested.
"I wouldn't. No reason for you to die, too" Klaus said.
"Stefan, hey, hey, it's fine, it's fine. I'll go. No one needs to get hurt. There's no reason for you to get hurt." She then leaned in and kissed him.
"I love you" She said pulling away.
"I love you" Stefan replied kissing her again. They pulled away and Elena looked at him.
"Close your eyes. Close your eyes" Elena told him. Stefan closed his eyes and Elena let go of his hand. When Stefan opened his eyes, he was alone.
Stefan quickle entered the house and Alaric appeard in the hallway.
"There you are. I got here, the house was empty" Alaric told him.
"Where's Damon?" Stefan asked.
Damon, Matt, Caroline and Tyler, were walking through the woods as Tyler felt his bone cracking he dropped to the floor in pain.
"What's happening? Is he ok?" Matt asked.
"He better not wolf out on us" Damon said as his phone began to ring. He picked it up and answered it.
"Bad time, little bro"
"What the hell are you doing?" Stefan demanded.
"Saving the day. I figured you'd understand. Just tell Elena to stay put, and still haven't found Claire yet" He replied.
"She is already gone Damon" Stefan told him.
"What?" Damon frowned.
"Klaus came, he took her" Stefan told him.
"I'll take care of it" Damon growled hanging up the phone. Tyler fell to the ground and cried out in pain. His transformation was beginning.
"Tyler!" Matt cried out.
"I don't know if I can hold it off. Get out of here" Tyler groaned.
"Tyler, it'll be ok" Caroline told him.
"Go!" Tyler yelled.
"You've got time. We're almost there, just..." Caroline began.
"It's happening faster" Tyler growled.
"Tyler it's okay!" Caroline said.
Tyler's eyes suddenly turned yellow. He growled and rushed over towards Caroline. Damon threw himself in front of her causing Tyler to knock him to the ground. Damon tried to push him off, but in the process Tyler bit his arm. Damon got up and looked at Caroline.
"Damon " She began.
"I'm fine" Damon said quickly.
"Get out of here!" Tyler yelled.
"Get to the Lockwood cellar. If it held him in, it'll keep him out. If it doesn't... Use these" Damon said Matt the wooden bullets.
"It'll buy you a couple seconds. Go. Go!" He told them before rushing out of the woods.
"Where's Maddox? He should be back by now" Klaus asked Katherine.
"I don't know" Katherine replied.
Klaus sat down in a chair and opened up a laptop with a webcam.
"What are you doing? Where's Elena and Claire?" Katherine asked.
"I sent them off with Greta" He said looking at the screen. He was watching Jules transition into a werewolf.
"It's almost time" Klaus smiled.
The door of the apartment bursted open to reveal Damon.
"I wasn't aware you'd been invited in" Klaus scoffed.
"I've come to tell you that you have to postpone the ritual" Damon walked in. "And to give me back my girlfriend"
"Didn't we already have this conversation?" Klaus smirked.
"Yeah, but that was before I rescued your werewolf, and vampire and killed your witch" Damon shot back.
"Excuse me?" Klaus go up to face him.
"And you can kill me for it. I don't care. It was all me" Damon told him.
"Katerina, give us a moment" Klaus said. Katherine looked at the two of them and got up and left.
"I've heard about you. The crazy, impulsive vampire in love with one of the most powerful witch and vampire who happens to be my ex-lover. I knew one of you would try to stop me. It was a just a 50/50 guess on who" Klaus sneered. He walked over to his laptop and pressed play to show him Jules in transition.
"The nice thing about werewolves is they tend to travel in packs. Need a closer look" Klaus threw the cell phone to Damon.
"Jules" Damon mused.
"When you spend a thousand years trying to break a curse... You learn a thing or two. First rule... always have a back-up. Back-up werewolf. Back-up witch..." Klaus smiled.
"Back-up vampire" Damon finished for him.
"I've got that covered too," Klaus smirked.
Damon was laying in the floor unsconscious as Katherine fed some blood from a blood bag to him. She slapped him finally waking him up.
"Hey. Damon. Hey. Damon" Katherine said.
"Ahh. What the hell happened?" Damon groaned.
"He's gone. He went to do the ritual. I'm sorry. I had to. He would have known that I was on vervain if I didn't do it" Katherine told him.
"Ahh, do what?" Damon asked.
"Klaus. He made me call her to lure her out. He needed another vampire" Katherine replied.
"Who did you call? Who did you call, Katherine?" Damon demanded grabbing her arm.
Elena and Greta walked through the forest in the darkness tripping over a few rocks.
"Where are we going?" Elena asked.
"This way" Greta replied.
"You're Luka's sister, aren't you? I heard about you. He and your father were looking for you" Elena said.
"Well, they were wasting their time. I wasn't lost" Greta informed her.
"God, I can't see anything" Elena complained.
Suddenly fire appeared around them, then Elena saw two bodies laying on the floor it was Jenna and Claire. She rushed over to them.
"Jenna? Jenna, Jenna! Jenna? Hey, hey, Jenna! Jenna!" Elena exclaimed trying to find a pulse. "Oh, my God. No. Jenna! No!" Elena looked up at Greta.
"He killed her? Why? I did everything that he asked" Elena cried. "And what did you do to Claire?"
Jenna suddenly opened her eyes and gasped, looking around confused.
She's not dead" Greta smiled. "She's in transition, and as for Claire..." The witch walked over to Claire and pulled the elixir that Klaus gave to her and forced down into Claire's throat.
"What are you doing? Let her go!" Elena cried, she wanted to help her but she knew that she no chance against the female witch.
Claire shot up and gasped for air like Jenna, and screamed in pain and agony. The cries for help were surrounding the forest as Elena and Jenna watched everything hopelesss. Then suddenly she stopped screaming, after a few moments she got up and looked at Greta like nothing had happened. She looked fine, but then Elena noticed that her eyes had changed the color, instead of the crystal blue eyes that she had it was black. Claire looked over at Elena and Jenna and gave them a wicked smile, the two girls were suddendly very afraid of the new Claire.
Damon got up from the floor and looked at Katherine. "Should have used me. Why didn't he use me?"
"He couldn't. Damon, he said you were as good as dead" Katherine told him.
"What does that even mean?" Damon frowned.
"What does that mean?" Katherine asked looking at the bite on Damon's arm."What is this, Damon?"
"It's a werewolf bite."
Oh no! Damon was bitten by a werewolf... How do you think that Claire is going to react? What do you think about Klaire scenes? It's pretty obvious that Klaus loves Claire in his twisted way to love but do you think that she actually might feel something more than hate towards him? And Claire is temporary powerless, in the next chapter she will get her powers back! I am so grateful for the reviews it makes me feel more motivated to continue this story! Thank you and please give me your opinion abou this chapter! Love you all :')
