Alex was helping Klaus sort through the boxes in their home. Even though Ester was really dead this time they were still leaving Mystic Falls. They both looked up when Rebekah ran into the room.
"Alaric Saltsman just tried to kill me."
"Alaric Saltsman is dead," Klaus said
"Well, now he's a vampire with a white oak stake that can't kill him. He's strong. Too strong." She said.
"Where is he now?" Alex asked
"He's stuck at the school without a daylight ring, but as soon as night falls he'll come after us. We need to leave now."
"Fine. I'll collect Elena and we'll be on our way."
"Forget Elena you don't need any more stupid hybrids."
"What I need is protection from Ester's continued attacks against us." He said.
Alex walked over to where they were standing and laid a hand on Klaus's arm.
"We'll protect each other just like we always have." She said.
He shrugged her off. "I'm not leaving without her."
"I'm leaving now. You can either walk out that door with me or you are on your own." Rebekah said.
He remained silent.
"Fine trust your hybrids over your own family. Let your spite be the death of you, see if I care."
She walked out of the room bumping into Tyler. "Move it sire boy.'
"What's her deal?" He asked.
...
Alex was sitting on the hood of Damon's car which was parked outside of Elena's house. She watched as Klaus talked to the Salvatore brothers and then laughed when they closed the door in his face.
He paced the porch for a second then picked up a newspaper. He walked down the steps into the yard, and then he threw the paper through the window. He picked up a soccer ball and threw it through the door.
Alex laughed. It was very entertaining to watch. Klaus began throwing pieces of a fence through the door.
Someone threw one back, but he dodged it easily. He had gotten propane and lit a newspaper on fire when Stefan came outside. He told Klaus that Alaric had Elena and Caroline. Alex realized they knew about his feeling for Caroline and were using them against him. She got off the car and walked towards the porch, but stopped at the steps.
"Now I know you're not asking me to walk into a certain death." He said.
"I really wish we could, but there's a one in four chance that we die too," Stefan said.
"I'll take those odds," Damon said as he walked out a piece of wood over his shoulder.
"And a 100% chance that Tyler does."
"I'm good with that too."
"Ok how about Damon distracts Alaric, Stefan swoops in gets Elena, and carries her to safety."
"Great idea what's to stop me from getting killed instantly?" Damon asked.
"Nothing." Klaus smiled.
"Caroline's still in there. Don't you have a thing for her or did she reject you too many times?" Damon taunted Klaus.
"This isn't helping," Alex said as Klaus stepped forward.
"I might have an idea," Bonnie said coming outside. "My mom used a desiccation spell on Mikael that kept him down for over 15 years. If I can get it I might be able to use it on Alaric."
"If and might, your words inspire such confidence," Klaus said.
"I'll get it, but even with the spell we'll still need a lot of vampire muscle to take him down."
"Well, there's me and my sister and these two," Klaus said. "Sister, how soon could Kol get here?"
"He's already here." She told him
"Three originals and us two I think that will cover it," Damon said.
Klaus and Alex walked down the steps ready to go to leave, but he stopped her.
"I have a favor to ask you." He said.
"Is now really the time?" She asked.
" When we are in the school I want you to take Caroline and leave."
"I'm not leaving you and Kol by yourselves, and I think Caroline can handle herself."
"Please."
She sighed. Her brother never said please unless he truly wanted something.
"Fine, but be careful."
...
Alx and Kol pulled into the school beside Klaus and Stefan. She had already told Kol that she wouldn't be helping fend off Alaric, so he and Klaus could make up for her absence.
They walked over to where Bonnie, Damon, and Jeremy were standing. Bonnie handed them viles with her blood in it and told them to drink it. She told them that one of them needs to make blood contact with Alaric's heart. The five vampires made their way into the school and split up.
Alex just walked around for a few minutes waiting to hear something, but it was silent. After a while, she heard Klaus's voice and ran towards him. She saw that he had Caroline.
"Go with my sister love. She will take you home." He told her.
"Thank you." She said.
Klaus nodded towards Alex and she walked towards them. Alex grabbed her arm and ran out of the school. Once they were out she took her towards her car and got in. When Caroline was in she began driving.
"Are you ok?" Alex asked.
"Yeah just tired." She said laying her head against the window.
"You need blood. I'm guessing you won't feed off an actual person right?"
"Right."
Alex sped up the car and they finally made it to her house.
"You need help?" She asked.
"No. I'm fine thanks."
Alex paused for a moment and then spoke.
"Just so you know I didn't know what Katherine was doing to you."
"How do you know she did anything?"
" Katherine is my friend. She told me."
"I bet Klaus loves that" She smiled.
"He doesn't know," Alex said. " Really I'm sorry."
"It's ok. In a way, it was good for me." She opened her door.
"Goodbye, Caroline."
One she was in the house Alex drove away. After a few minutes, her phone rang. She pulled over and answered it.
"The plan didn't work. The Salvatores dedicated Nik," Kol said the moment she answered
She grabbed the phone harder hearing a crack. She was struggling to concentrate on what he said.
"Ok. " She breathed. "Ok."
"They took his body. I'm not sure where. I have to go. Goodbye, little sister."
He hung up the phone and she sat in silence. She couldn't breathe and her heart was pounding. A moment later she realized she had tears running down her face. She was alone for the first time in a thousand years and had no idea what to do. When she picked her phone up again her hands were shaking. She dialed another number and waited.
"Hello." The voice said.
"I need your help, Elijah."
"What's wrong."
She told him about mother's second attempt to kill them about Alaric and then about Klaus. By the end of her story, she was hysterical and Elijah was trying to calm her through the phone.
"Alexandria I am on my way. I'll be there soon meet me at the house," he said. "I promise you everything will be alright."
She took a breath before hanging up the phone and heading to the mansion.
...
Inside the house was silent. She called Rebekah and told her what happened. She told her to stay out of Mystic Falls no matter what. Alex was determined that no more of her family would get hurt.
After getting off the phone with Rebekah she sat down in the living room and tried to remain I put her elbows on her knees and her head on her hands. She tried to stay calm, but eventually, the years started again. They may have been worse than before. She didn't look up when she heard the door open and someone sat next to her. A hand rested on my shoulder.
Her tears didn't stop so he pulled her towards him and held her while she cried. After another minute she was able to contain herself and pulled away from him.
"We will get him back. He is not dead." Elijah said.
"He will be if Alaric gets to him first."
"And he won't." He stood up and held out his hand. "Now let's pay a visit to ."
She took it and stood up.
Elijah drove them to Elena's house and they headed to the porch. Elena opened the door, but Elijah couldn't get in. Alex tried to go around him but he held her back. Elena called Stefan and Matt into the room.
"Elijah," Stefan said.
"Hello again."
The two originals went inside and they all sat around the kitchen table.
"Once the stake is in my possession and the weapon is disarmed my family will scatter to the ends of the earth," Elijah told them.
"And Alaric will follow us," Alex added.
She didn't like the plan. She didn't want to just leave and had made that clear to Elijah. If she had it her way, everyone in that room would be dead already.
"And you'll just run?" Stefan asked.
"We've done it before. Klaus and Rebekah spent the better part of a thousand years evading our father. What's another half century until Elena dies?"
Alex rolled her eyes. That was another part of the plan she didn't like. It would be a million times easier to just kill Elena, but no.
"We finally stopped him. After everything he's done to us, I can't just let you bring him back,"
"I give you my word, Elena I will not revive Klaus within yours or even your children's lifetimes. Perhaps that will finally teach him some manners. "
Alex looked over at him. They had not agreed to that.
Matt began yelling and Alex tuned him out.
"I leave it to you to decide whether to trust me or not." He told Elena.
"Not," Damon said through the phone. "Hello, did that concussion give you brain damage? His lunatic siblings will kill you the first chance they get."
"Rebekah, Kol, and Alexandria will honor the terms if you return Klaus's body to us, Elena will come to no harm."
"Judging by her face I don't think your sister agrees," Stefan said.
"If I had it my way you'd all be dead right now," she said. "But if it means I get my brother back, I'll play by the rules."
Elijah sighed. "Do we have a deal?"
"No. No, no, no. Did i mention no?" Damon said.
"Elena it's up to you," Stefan said
"Come on." Damon groaned.
"Why do you want Klaus's body?" She asked.
"He's my brother. We remain together."
"We have a deal."
"My sister will meet Damon at a location of your choice. I'm afraid we must be leaving."
...
Alex pulled up to the warehouse and walked inside. She called for Damon but there was no answer. She kept walking and someone grabbed her and put a hand over her mouth.
...
Alex and Damon were pushing the coffin outside towards a car she had borrowed, but Alaric made it out.
He grabbed Alex hit her head against the car, and her to the ground. He kicked Damon and he landed next to her. As she was sitting up she saw Alaric lifting the lid of the coffin. She stood up and tried to run at him but Damon held me back. She was screaming at him to let her go and at Alaric to stop, but neither listened. Alaric stabbed the stake through Klaus's chest. Alex let out a heart-wrenching wail.
Damon was still keeping her from running to her brother. She cried and screamed and kicked. Any other time she could have gotten away from him, but she couldn't focus on anything. Her eyes were trained on Klaus's body. She let out another scream as it burst into flames. He was dead. Her brother was dead and all she could do was watch.
Alaric pulled the stake out and turned to them.
"Next," he said and motioned to Alex.
"Alex," Damon whispered. She didn't move he was practically holding her up now. "Run. Run."
He threw her behind him and she ran away. She ran out of the building and didn't stop.
...
Alex walked slowly through the woods and stopped behind Elijah.
He turned around and froze when he saw her. She had tears running her face and was shaking
"He's gone, Elijah." He walked forward and pulled her into his arms. "He's gone." She was sobbing now.
A while later Elijah got off the phone and turned back to her.
"Tyler Lockwood is dead but the rest survived. You said Niklaus turned their bloodline."
"I thought he did," she said.
"It wasn't me it wasn't Kol."
"It wasn't me. I was sure it was Niklaus."
"Then how are they still alive?"
...
Alex walked through the woods and stopped when she saw Wikery Bridge. She pulled out her phone and dialed Stefan's number.
"I see you're still alive," she said when he answered.
"Alex."
"Elijah spoke to Elena. She and Matt should be arriving back in town any minute."
"Yeah, he told me that. He also told me you two would be long gone out of town by now."
"That's the problem. Elijah says we have to run. But I don't want to run anymore. I've spent my whole life running."
"What are you talking about? We had a deal." He said.
"Had a deal. Klaus is dead now. There is no deal. Alaric must die. Which means that Elena has to die"
"Alex please don't"
She hung up the phone and then threw it into the lake. She made her way to the bridge and stood in the way of the truck. Matt swerved and went off the edge. She let myself feel a second of guilt as they went off the bridge. Then she felt nothing.
