Disclaimer - I in no way, shape, or form, take credit for the character created by L.J Smith nor Julie Plec, and Kevin Williamson for the development of said characters. I do however own Klarissa.

Guest - I thought Klary had already been kidnapped one time too many, I thought Elena should be the one to go haha. No, there is a reason as to why Klary was not taken by Anna, which will be revealed shortly! It's not so much that they take turns, it's just more about what will be fitting in with the plot as it evolves. Klary will definitely be cautious when it comes to Damon from now on, what he did seriously put her in a new, and untrusting position that she hasn't experienced with Damon yet, but it's a very important dynamic when it comes to the interaction between the two in this, and upcoming chapters.
Guest - Klary's relationship with the Michaelson's will be very intense, very unexpected, and very important. I can't wait for the Michaelson's to come to Mystic Falls because that's when everything really comes to a head when in regards to the bloodline of the Gilbert's and Petrova's!
Guest - I would say Klary is much more of the troubled twin, per se, before the accident, I slightly hinted at past Klary, which was much more wild and uncontrollable as opposed to who she is now. Klary is definitely more trusting, optimistic, and more adventurous than Elena. Whilst also being sarcastic, and easier to laugh with. Elena is much more serious, and sometimes is self-absorbed whereas Klary takes into account how her actions affect those around her and tries to help everyone out, even if she doesn't gain anything from it. I feel Elena is also more judgemental, and pushy, unlike Klary. The both of them are very similar in the sense that they're both kind, caring, strong-willed, empathetic, and compassionate. Klary does have flaws, which will be brought to light in the future. As for style, I think Elena is much more colourful whereas Klary tends to just stick with minimalist, edgy look. If you're interested, I'll definitely be up to making character profiles if that's something people would be interested in!
FOOL ME ONCE
Dear Diary,
Everything is a complete and utter mess - for a lack of better words. Elena's been taking by my brother's vampire-almost-girlfriend, Damon's a prick, and I haven't heard from Bonnie or Caroline in days. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. It's like every time I think things are starting to go back to normal, I either get kidnapped or someone dies. I don't know what I'll do if Elena gets hurt. I don't know what to do at all.
•••
Stefan told me that he would ask Damon if he knew where Anna was hiding out, but so far, no luck. Speaking of Damon, thankfully my head and body had readjusted and I'm back to feeling normal. I don't know how I'll ever face him again, or what I'll do if he doesn't help Stefan in getting Elena back.
•••
"He won't tell me where she is" is the first sentence I get from Stefan when he rings me for an update.
"What the hell do you mean he won't tell you where she is?" I ask angrily, how dare he.
I can hear Stefan sigh on the phone, "I don't know what else to do. Damon's caught up in reading the grimoire, he's just being difficult".
Even though Stefan can't see me, I shake my head, "I'll shove a stake through his heart".
"I don't know how that would help" Stefan says, his tone light, at my silence, Stefan continues, "Klary, I think, uh, maybe, you could, uh-".
"Out with it, Stef" I cut off his mumblings.
Stefan says, "I think you were the one to ask him, he might help", and suddenly my body feels frozen.
"Stefan…" I trail off.
"Klary, please, you're the only one that can get through to him" Stefan tries.
"He fed me his blood and threatened to turn me. I want nothing to do with him Stefan, please, there must be something else. I just, I can't, I don't know how I can face him, the thought of him scares me, Stefan. Damon scares me" I tell him.
"I'll see what I can do. How are you feeling, about, everything?" I hear him sigh.
"I just, I trusted him, you know? Damon was my friend, I thought that maybe he at least somewhat cared for me, but I was just being naive. The only thing Damon cares about is himself, like you said" I reply.
"I'm sorry" Stefan apologises.
I tell him, "It's not your fault, Stef. You're not responsible for the things that Damon does, even though you think you are".
"It is my fault. Damon is the way he is, because of me" is his reply.
"It's been 145 years, Damon has to stop using what you did to Katherine as his reasoning for all of the things that he does. Damon is the way he is because he wants to be" I continue my point.
I hear Stefan sigh, "I'm going to see if I can come up with another solution, keep your phone on you, Klary".
"Alright, Stef. Bye" I hang up the phone.
•••
It's only half an hour later when my phone lights up again. "Stefan, did you find her?" is the first thing I ask.
"No" Stefan sighs before adding, "But I might know how to find them".
"Them? Stefan, what do you mean by them?" I question, my mind going into panic mode.
Stefan answers, "She took Bonnie as well. I'm heading over to Bonnie's Grandmother's house to see if she can locate the girls-".
I cut him off, "I'll meet you there", before hanging up and heading over to my wardrobe to change out of my pyjamas.
•••
I see Stefan standing outside of Bonnie's Grandmother's House, on the footpath. I pull my car over to the side, and quickly jump out. "Hey Stef" I greet him as I walk towards the front door.
"This is so dangerous, you being here" Stefan starts.
"If you keep worrying, that line in between your eyebrows will become permanent" I joke before knocking on the door.
"You sound like Damon" I hear Stefan mumble under his breath which makes me scoff.
I reply snarkily, "Except I'm not a homicidal, manic vampire with no regard for humanity", before focusing my attention back to the front door as it opens, and I'm greeted by Bonnie's beautiful Grandmother.
"Klarissa? Hunny, how are you?" she engulfs me into a hug.
I return the hug as I reply, "Hi Grams, I'm okay".
As she pulls away from me, I notice her smile drop as she realises Stefan is behind me. "May I help you, Mr. Salvatore?" she asks him, and suddenly I'm very confused.
Stefan nods as his way to greet her, "We need your help".
Grams raises an eyebrow at me, so I tell her, "We need you to do a locator spell on Bonnie and Elena, a vampire named Anna has them, and we're not sure as to where they are". Grams' expression suddenly becomes very serious as she ushers us inside her home, and towards a table. I take a seat whilst Stefan stands, and notice Grams pulling out an almost rustic looking map of Mystic Falls which she places on the table as she sits directly across from me. I watched in awe as she placed her hands slightly above the map and closed her eyes, concentrating on her magic. Okay, being a witch is so cool. Suddenly, Grams stopped and looked up at us, "They're at The Twelve Oakes, room 102". Stefan immediately thanks her, and as I stand up I feel someone grab my arm. "Don't you think of going with him, baby" Grams says.
"But Grams, I need to help" I try.
"It's too dangerous, Stefan will get the girls and bring them back, you'll stay here with me and wait for them where I know you're safe" Grams says and nods to Stefan as a means to tell him to leave. Stefan sends me an apologetic look before disappearing out of the house. "I'll make you some tea while we wait" Grams tells me before heading off into her kitchen. I sigh as I sit back down at the table, riddled with anxiety.
•••
It's almost an hour when I hear the front door opens and the sounds of people coming in that I rush out of my chair and immediately run to my sister and my best friend to engulf them both in a group hug. "You're both okay, thank god" I mumble.
As we let each other go, Bonnie makes way to her Grams whilst Elena, Stefan, and I go back to the dining table where I was previously sitting. "How did you know where we were?" Bonnie asks her Grandmother.
Grams replies, "Many things can fuel a witch's power; worry, anger. After Stefan told me they had taken you, I had a lot of both. Simple locator spell was easy after that".
Bonnie sighs, "I'm sorry, about all of this".
"Not as sorry as they're gonna be" Grams slightly smirks at her statement.
"So, what do we do now?" I hear Elena ask.
"Well, for now, you'll need to stay here" Stefan answers.
Grams states, "A prisoner, in my own home? I don't think so".
"I can't protect you if you leave the house" Stefan tries to reason.
"We'll protect ourselves" is Grams' response, and I've alway admired her strength.
"We need to let him have Katherine back, he's not going to stop until he gets her. If we help him, maybe that ends it" Elena says.
Bonnie is the first to reject it, "No! He doesn't deserve to get what he wants".
"What other choice do we have?" Elena sighs.
I speak up, "Elena's right. Besides, the sooner he gets Katherine, the sooner he'll be gone".
Grams nods at my statement and says, "Witches being pulled down by vampire problems, as much as we tried to do to stay out of it. I'll open the tomb, you get your brother's girl and destroy the rest with fire. Then this will be all over".
"We still have to get Damon to agree" Stefan reminds us.
"He already agreed once" Elena replies.
"Yeah, and then we doubled crossed him, so now, he's angry" Stefan tells her.
Elena replies, "He's hurt, there's a difference. Besides, if Klary is the one who asks him-".
"Woah, woah, woah, why am I always the one you guys ask to talk to Damon? Why can't you do it?" I say to my sister.
"Because you mean something to him, if it's coming from you, he'll do it" Elena states.
I scoff, "And how can you be so sure?".
"Elena's right. Damon will agree, if you're the one to ask" Bonnie adds.
Noticing the looks from everyone around me, I groan out a "Fine" before saying goodbye to Grams and heading out the door.
•••
"I'm gonna have to change the locks, you stage a jailbreak?" is the first thing that comes from Damon's mouth as I enter the living room of the Boarding House.
"Stefan" is my answer as I notice Damon putting on his jacket, preparing to leave.
"Ah, brother. Ever the white knight" Damon sarcastically replies as he turns around to face me.
I feel the panic rise through my body as I'm met with his blue eyes. I try to swallow down my fear as I tell him "I convinced Bonnie to help you".
"I doubt that" Damon says, so I walk closer to him.
"I want you gone, and so does everyone else" I reply with a shrug of my shoulders.
Damon smirks as he says "Well, at least you're honest".
"I care about the people in this town, I want them safe. So, if you promise, that only Katherine will be the one coming out of that tomb, then we've got your back" I say.
"Not interested" is his response.
"Yes, you are, because you were willing to work with us yesterday" I say.
Damon turns back around to place the grimoire on the table as he says, "Fool me once, shame on you".
"I never fooled you, Damon. I told you their plan, granted I didn't tell you as soon as I found out but she's my sister, however, I still told you. Because we were friends Damon, I cared about you, I wanted you to get your happy ending with Katherine. But you were the one who forced your blood down my throat, you were the one who threatened me. So you know what? Fine. Have fun trying to get your girlfriend out of the tomb without us, because as far as I'm concerned, you can go to hell" I rant before turning on my heel.
"Wait" I hear from behind me which makes me around, I look at Damon's face, "I'm sorry" he apologises.
I sigh, remembering that I agreed to get Damon to work with us. "Damon, you and I, we have something. We have an understanding, so you know I'm being honest with you. We will help you get her back, I promise you" I say with conviction.
"You know Anna won't stop, by the way, no matter what I do" he says.
I shrug my shoulders as I respond, "Then we'll deal with it".
Damon walks closer to me as looks into my eyes, "What I did to you, wasn't fair. I'd never hurt you, I act without thinking. But, Angel, I'm trusting you. Please, don't make me regret it".
•••
Damon and I arrive at the woods and I realise that there was a party taking place, "The Duke Party. I forgot, I hope they stay clear of the church" I mutter.
"Your hope, not mine" is Damon's response as we make our way through the sea of drunk teenagers before we're stopped by Matt and Caroline.
"Klary, hey!" Matt greets me.
"Klary, oh my god, where have you been?" Caroline asks me and I notice as she tries to subtly intertwine her fingers with Matt's.
Before I can respond, Damon does "Long story, no time to tell it".
"I wasn't talking to you" Caroline responds.
"Sure you were" Damon replies.
Feeling the tension, Matt looks at Damon and puts out his hand, "We haven't met, I'm Matt".
"Matt, there's a reason we haven't met. Klary and I are going that way" Damon says as he grabs my wrist and begins pulling me with him, away from my friends.
I throw an apologetic look over my shoulder and shout "Sorry" before focusing back to Damon. "You don't have to be such a dick, you know?" I comment.
To which Damon throws me a wink, "Oh, I know". Damon and I walk further into the woods towards the church, effectively getting away from the party and I hear Damon whistle as we finally make our way to the rest of the group. "Brother, witches" Damon greets them and I roll my eyes. Damon lets my wrist go and walks down the stairs into the tomb.
"Everything okay?" Stefan asks me.
"As okay as they can be" I reply before the three of us follow him down to where Bonnie and Grams are about to perform the spell.
"Air. Earth. Fire" Grams says as she lights the torches".
Bonnie adds "Water" as she holds up a plain water bottle and hands it to her Grandmother who sprinkles it on the floor.
"That's it? Just water from the tap?" I ask confused.
Grams smirks, "As opposed to what?".
Flushed I reply, "I just thought it would have to be mystical or something".
Grams continues to smirk as I hear Stefan ask "What's that?" and I notice Damon unraveling what looks like a blood bag out of his jacket.
"It's for Katherine. Gotta have something to get her going. Unless your girl's offering a vein to tap" Damon replies before dropping his voice to a whisper and saying to Stefan, "Admit it - you can't wait to get rid of me".
Stefan chuckles before replying, "I can't wait to get rid of you".
"We're ready" Bonnie informs us as her and Grams close their eyes and interlock their hands as they begin performing the spell.
"What are they saying?" Damon asks.
Stefan replies, "Sounds latin".
I shake my head, "I don't think it's latin.
A few seconds later, the torches flare up which makes Elena jump as she grabs Stefan's arm, "What's happening?" my sister asks just in time for the tomb's door to open.
They stop chanting and Bonnie exclaims, "It worked!".
"Of course, it worked" Grams confirms.
Damon looks at Stefan and tells him, "We have some fires to build".
Stefan turns to Elena and I and says, "I'm gonna go get the gasoline, I'll be right back" before leaving us.
Damon looks at me, "You ready?".
"For what?" I ask confused.
Damon looks back to Bonnie and Grams as he says, "You think I'm gonna go in there by myself so you can seal me in?" and to that he grabs my arm.
I notice Grams step forward, "Don't take her in, I'll bring the walls down".
"You'll bring the walls down if I don't, you think I trust you" Damon scoffs.
"As much as I trust you" Grams replies.
Standing between them I say, "Enough, the two of you. He needs leverage so I'll go, he needs to know that you're not going to shut the door when he gets inside. I get it, I'll go".
Damon grabs one of the torches from the circle and asks, "May I?" before heading towards the tomb.
"I'll be okay" I reassure them as I quickly grab Elena's flashlight before I follow Damon into the tomb. As we walk further into the tomb, I can hear whispers, "What's that?" I ask Damon.
"They can sense you, don't worry about it" Damon says before looking around, "Now, where is she?" he asks to himself as he continues walking.
"Damon!" I shout for him as he turns a corner and I can't see him. I can vaguely make out sounds, as I feel my skin crawl. "Damon! Damon!" I continue to whisper, even though I'm met with nothing. I really am going to stake him. I continue to hear the whispering and I turn around trying to go back where I came from, and as I do I jump when my light lands on what looks like a corpse. I continue walking and the more I shine my light, the more desiccating vampires I see, however, what truly terrifies me is the bloodshot eyes of one of the vampire's which open and gaze at me hungrily as my light lands on them. I jump quickly and turn around, only to scream when I'm met with another person.
It's the girl from the Grill, Anna, "You must have a taste for it. You scream and even bother to escape, but then you just come right back to it".
As she stalks towards me, I walk backward and bump into something and as I look down I notice it's another vampire, Anna also takes notice as her eyes glaze over and immediately kneels down saying, "Mother! Mother" before turning to me, "Those Salvatore brothers did this you know".
"Their father did" I immediately defend them.
Anna looks at me with humour before adding, "And Jonathan Gilbert. I made a choice a long time ago that it would be Gilbert blood that brought her back to life. I had Jeremy all ready to go but…" She trails off before she grabs me by the wrist and bites down hard, which makes me scream. Anna pushes me to the ground, across her mother's lap, and holds my wrist to her mouth. I struggle, but the vampire smells my blood and begins to drink.
"Please don't do this!" I manage to get out but soon I feel light-headed the more and more she drinks.
"Let her go!" I hear Stefan's voice flood the tomb.
"No!" I hear Anna shriek before I feel myself being torn away from the vampire, and being pushed towards the exit.
"Go, I'm right behind you" Stefan tells me so I nod and run as quickly as I can out of there.
As I make my way out of the tomb, I notice the looks on everyone's faces. "What's wrong? What's going?" I ask.
"Stefan can't get out" Bonnie tells me.
I look at her in confusion, "What do you mean he can't get out?".
"It's gonna be okay, we'll fix it" Bonnie tells me and I look back to the tomb opening to see Stefan stood there not, not leaving.
I turn to Elena and notice the tears in her eyes before turning back to Stefan, "You went in there knowing you couldn't come out?" I ask in disbelief.
Stefan looks down before looking back to me, "I heard you scream".
I look at Bonnie and Grams, "We have to get him out of there" and then realise, "Oh my god, Damon, Damon's in there as well, we have to get him out, we promised him. I promised him".
"Even if we're able to break through this, I won't be able to hold it for long" Grams tells us.
Looking at Stefan I tell him, "Go find Damon and get out as quickly as you can" to which Stefan nods. I rush over to Elena and throw my arms around her, "It's okay, he'll be out, it's okay". As I pull away from Elena I notice the torches have flared up again, "I think it's working" I tell Elena, who looks towards Bonnie and Grams.
However, a minute passes and there still is no sign of Stefan or Damon. "We can't hold it for much longer" Grams tells us.
Looking at Elena, I make a rushed decision before I'm running back into the tomb, looking for Stefan and Damon. I can faintly hear Elena yell for me, but I don't hear any footsteps. I can hear Damon and Stefan's voices and run towards their direction. "She's not here!" I hear Damon yell and I make it towards them in time and witness him throw the blood bag at the wall.
"What's wrong?" I ask them.
"She's not here, Katherine, she isn't here!" Damon gets louder by each word.
I look at Stefan, "They can't hold the seal open for long, we have to get out of here, now!".
Stefan nods and begins walking back towards the entrance but Damon doesn't move. "She's not here" Damon mumbles over and over again.
I place my hand on Damon's arm as a way of reassurance, "Damon, she isn't worth it. Please, we need to go otherwise you won't be able to leave" but Damon just looks at me with sad eyes. "Please" my voice breaks, as emotions swirl and he gently nods before I intertwine my fingers with his and the three of us make it out of the tomb just in time for Gram and Bonnie to close it.
Elena immediately hugs Stefan, whilst Damon and I begin walking up the stairs, back into the open. The rest of them follow us, and I drop Damon's hand as I notice Jeremy laying unconscious on the ground. "He's okay" Stefan tells me as I sit next to my brother who is slowly waking up. Elena walks over with Stefan and the two of them help Jeremy up, as I turn around I see Damon looking completely miserable as he glances at the church with hurt eyes.
As if on instinct, I feel my body carry me over to him before I wrap my arms around his neck and hold in into a hug.
"I'm so sorry, Damon" I say into his ear, and I can feel his arms wrap around me as he nods into my shoulder.
•••
Elena and I had arrived home, and I was currently getting Jeremy some aspirin for his headache. "How's your head?" I ask him as I hand him a glass of water.
"Uh, it's alright. I swear, I didn't drink that much" Jeremy tells me.
"And you don't remember anything?" I ask him.
My brother shakes his head, "It's all pretty cloud, I just, I know how this looks and I'm sorry".
Immediately I pull my brother into a hug, "It's not your fault, don't be sorry, you didn't do anything".
I briefly hear him say "Yeah, okay" as he returns the hug.
As we pull back I ask him, "Are you going to be okay here with just Jenna? Elena and I are heading to Bonnie's. But please, if you need something call me and I'll be right home, okay?". Jeremy nods his head before turning and relaxing against his pillows. I leave him be and meet Elena downstairs so that we can head over to Bonnie's.
•••
Elena and I had been at Bonnie's for a while, Elena was on the phone to Stefan whilst Bonnie and I were in the kitchen making Grams a cup of tea. "It took a lot out of her" Bonnie tells me.
I sigh, "I know, I'm sorry. You two did so amazingly, though, power to you strong female witches" which makes Bonnie smile.
"I'm gonna go give this to Grams and then I'll be back okay?" Bonnie says before leaving just as Elena arrives.
"Everything okay with them?" I ask her.
Elena nods, "Yeah, I think so".
It's quiet for a minute before Elena and I hear Bonnie calling for us, "Elena! Klary!" and then "Grams! Wake up, Grams! Please, wake up!".
Elena and I dash into Grams' room and as we arrive, we're greeted by the sight of Bonnie sobbing, and Grams' unmoving body. Elena and I share a look of shock, before I grab my phone and begin to call the ambulance. "I need an ambulance to Oak Street, it's an emergency, please hurry!" I inform the operate as soon as they answer.
"We will have someone there shortly" the operator tells me before hanging up but all I'm focused on is the heartbreaking sight as Bonnie begins frantically searching her grimoire.
"I can fix this! I can bring her back!" Bonnie rambles.
"Bonnie, Bonnie" Elena tries softly before we both wrap our arms around her as she cries.
