The next morning Elena surprised Trixie by calling her phone and waking her up. She was cuddled up next to Elijah, his arm around her waist and holding her tight, as she blinked and yawned looking around for her ringing phone. He smiled to her as she sat up and he twisted to grab her ringing phone. As he handed it to her it stopped and she groaned. She put it down on the bed and stretched herself before it started again and she growled this time.
"For fucks sake Elena its not even eight in the morning! What do you want!"
"I know Elijah is there, I need to talk to him please." Trixie rolled her eyes and as she handed the phone to him she overheard Elena asking for him to talk to her, like really talk to her without Stefan or Damon around. Trixie chuckled as he agreed and decided to meet her somewhere but when he hung up and looked to Trixie she had her arms crossed across her chest and was tapping her foot.
"Yes?"
"Dont you think its a bit curious that she calls you after the night your brother attacks her friend? Dont you just wonder what shes going to ask of you?"
"Im pretty sure it has something to do with keeping the rest of her family and friends out of the fight."
"Oh she worries too much! Im here arent I? Im the one with powers and the one whos going to take him down. Shes got nothing to worry about, little brat."
"Oh come now Trixie. We can at least hear her out." He smiled as she reluctantly agreed. After she got dressed in shorts and a tank top she followed Elijah out to a 'borrowed' car and sighed as she had to drive them to the Grill, where they were meeting Elena and picking her up. She was reluctant to sit in the back but as she sat behind Trixie and was telling her where to go Elijah was smiling.
"Turn here and you'll be at the lake house."
"Dont you think the guys will find out youre here with us?"
"Maybe, but Im hoping for you to be a distraction."
"How?" Elena smiled as Trixie frowned and knew she was going to regret the question. Elijah put his hand on her thigh as she pulled up to the lake house, where not too long ago they tried to stab Elijah and Trixie finally met Elena the doppelgänger. She parked and as they were getting out Elena's phone rang. She smiled a bit and answered to a confused Stefan.
"Hello? No, Im in town. I swear Stefan. Uh, yeah I left the grill. Look Im not being stalked by Klaus Im actually with Elijah right now. NO! Im talking to him, he wont take me to Klaus I swear. Stefan trust me! Oh god please dont no...shut up Damon. No I will be home later and...BYE!" Elena hung the phone up and as she turned to Trixie and Elijah she noticed they ere smiling.
"Smooth."
"Well glad you think that because its your turn to distract now." Elena smiled as her phone rang again and she opened it and tossed it to Trixie. She looked at the girl as if she was crazy as they heard Damon yelling on the other side.
"Damn it Elena! We did everything to keep you safe and you run to his brother! Get your ass home now or so help me..."
"WRONG NUMBER! NO HABLA ENGLISH!" Trixie hung up on Damon and glared to Elena.
"Smooth." She growled as Elijah laughed at her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Easy Trixie. Now what were you wanting to talk about Elena?" She smiled as she lead them to a picnic table outside of the house. As they sat down Elena was grasping at straws for what to say before Trixie sighed and glared right to her.
"Look, what do you want? You snuck out apparently and you asked us here for a reason. Just spit it out."
"I want to make sure I can trust you two. I dont want anyone else having to die or almost die to stop Klaus." Trixie smiled and laughed as Elijah chuckled.
"Darling, I will keep my part of our earlier deal and not bring any harm to any of your friends or family but as far as no one dying here, that's hard to say."
"Because you have to be sacrificed during the ritual." Elena nodded and as she thought about it she sighed and switched positions on her side of the table and leaned in a bit closer.
"Why does he need me anyways, no offence but dont you hate werewolves?" Trixie and Elijah eyed each other before chuckling and glancing back to the confused doppelgänger.
"You dont know? Really? Katherine didnt tell as much as I thought she would have."
"She knew when to keep her mouth shut. I was actually surprised at how much you knew when we met you." Elijah smiled to Trixie as she nodded and leaned back a bit to see Elena totally lost now.
"What do you know exactly bout the so called curse Elena?"
"Well, she said it was a curse that was put on the wolves that kept them changing on every full moon instead of whenever they wanted. If a wolf broke it then they would be able to change whenever but if a vampire broke it they would be able to walk in the sun without daylight rings. I believe thats what she was getting at. What I am wondering is why does Klaus want to break a curse for the wolves if he already has a daylight ring and can walk during the day like you guys?"
"Oh god! Your lie really took on a life of its own Elijah." He chuckled as he nodded and Elena gaped at him in shock. He cleared his throat and as he started to explain Elena got comfortable as Trixie watched her shock and astonishment showed in her eyes.
"Well that curse that Katherine told you about, or that the wolves told you about, was the curse that we told everyone about. What better way to have every monster on earth searching for a moonstone and a doppelgänger than by promising them something they always wanted?"
"So its not true!"
"Like you said, why would he want to break a curse for every vampire when he can already walk during the day? The curse is about him actually."
"Yes, the curse is actually the spell that is holding his wolf side back."
Wait what! Oh, I mean..." Elena was at a loss for words as Trixie chuckled.
"I believe the expression you are looking for is O.M.G." Elijah smiled as Elena shook her head and just stared at them in shock.
"So hes a half breed like her?" Elena pointed to Trixie and as she scoffed Elena frowned.
"He only wished he was this cool. No, long time ago, before I met them, his mother a witch put a spell on him that held back his werewolf side. She apparently had Nik with a wolf man but when she was with Elijah's daddy she wanted to let him think he was his. She prayed that he was his right Elijah?"
"Yes, mother prayed that her unfaithfulness didnt actually see a bastard child but it did. Niklaus is the son of a werewolf and on the night our mother changed us into vampires, he had his first real kill. Werewolves only start to transform every moon after they kill someone first. The next full moon after we were turned Klaus actually started to show signs and mother knew then. Father was angered of course and went to slaughter the wolf tribe in the nearby village but while he was gone mother put a binding spell on Klaus, using Tatia Petrova as the binding blood. She made it where his wolf side was dormant and with the spell there had to be an unbinding spell but since she thought Tatia would be the only Tatia she didnt count for her spell to start a doppelgänger effect. Now whenever Klaus finds the doppelgänger he tries to undo the spell, to release his wolf side and to become a true hybrid. But, he failed with Katherine and I can only pray he will fail with you."
"Which is where you two come in to kill him right?"
"Yes, but Elena, remember he can only be at his weakest when hes changing." Trixie frowned as Elena thought about that for a second and then finally got the whole idea. She sighed as she nodded ad then looked to Elijah.
"Is there a way I will survive?" Elijah glanced to Trixie and shrugged as she sighed and nodded.
"If what he has planed doesnt work, I can talk to the spirits that the witches are allowing me to see and talk to to see if I could do something to get you back. Mostly they ask for an exchange but if someone is willing to take your place then it will be easy. if not, I'll need Damon to find an unwilling participant to take your place where you can live again. It wont be easy but I promised Bonnie and Jeremy I wouldnt let you die." Elena frowned as she mentioned her friends but when Trixie saw this Elijah chuckled and lightly touched Elenas hand that was on the table.
"What is it darling? Dont you want to live?"
"Oh yes, I was just wondering why she didnt ask Stefan or Damon. I knew Bonnie and Jeremy wanted me to live but I would be dying to save them."
"But you dying, if we cant kill Nik, will put Stefan and Damon in danger. I know already without asking they want you to live. I didnt ask you because I knew your answer. Im not a bitch all the time regardless of what people think but I will do what I need to make sure my friends are happy. I consider Stefan and Damon friends still and besides, killing Nik gets me my family back." Elijah smiled as Elena nodded and then jumped as her hone rang again. Trixie growled as she opened it and went to yell but stopped when Stefan started talking, and he was breathless.
"Elena! You need to come home quick! Its Jenna!"
"Stefan hold your horses. What happened! Where are you?"
"Im at the boarding house! Make her hurry!"
"What happened dammit!"
"Ric I mean Klaus! He attacked Jenna!"
"Nik himself or Nik as Ric."
"Nik...Damn it Klaus as Ric! Just get her here!" Trixie nodded and as she glanced to Elijah he nodded to her before she handed the keys to the car to Elena and frowned.
"Nik just sent you a personal message. Your Aunt is waiting at the boarding house. Go see her and we will finish this talk later. I might be right behind you, if Elijah wants to come too that is."
"Thank you! Oh god! I'll see you later." Elena nodded to Trixie and Elijah as she ran to the car and quickly took it back to the boarding house. Elijah was sighing as Trixie glared and frowned.
"What is it darling?"
"Nik, he's getting desperate. Im hating this and I for one will hurt him far more worse if he keeps making everyone's lives a living hell."
"After the full moon there will be no more worry. We just have to wait." Elijah smiled as he stood and informed Trixie he was going to go to the hotel and do a bit of calling to find out if he can get his hands on something for Elena. Trixie nodded and as he vanished she sighed and rushed herself to the boarding house.
