Katherine P.O.V
I couldn't believe I had been caught, I was trapped here by Klaus who was using Alaric body to do his bidding, the fact that he looked pretty smug with himself made my blood boil. I had ran from this man for 500 years, and because I put my faith in idiotic people I finally got caught. I have no idea what he had planned for me, but whatever it was I knew it wasn't going to be pleasant. Klaus was very imaginative and I'm sure his cooked up 500 years' worth of torture, one thing would be sure at the end of that is he will kill me. Klaus would finally get all that revenge that his been wanting along with everything else, Elena was at arm's reach, and then there was Siena. God I felt sorry for her, I mean sure Elena was bound to die to break the curse, which gave me some satisfaction. Whereas Siena she going to be in for the shock of her life when she finally meets him, I wonder how Klaus will react when he meets the one thing that he has been hunting for all these years. I looked over at Alaric/Klaus he opens the closet, and takes out 2 shirts, while I'm currently tied to a chair with rope soaked in vervain.
"Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" He turned to me showing the two shirts he had in his hands, every time I looked at him I felt my skin crawl. "Ok, bad, or badder?" Even after 500 years his attitude hadn't changed, everything was about him, Klaus being in the spotlight, all eyes on him. God I loathed him.
"The dark colours suit you better." Klaus always like this ass being kissed, I would do whatever it took to find a way to get the hell out of here with Klaus being on guard.
"Oh, thank you, honey. Ok, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatore's possession, correct?" I pressed my lips together, stopping myself from speaking, but I didn't want to tell him anything about what I knew. I knew in that moment if I didn't talk Klaus would compel me to tell him if I didn't talk, at least if I talk I can control what's said, I can escape, pick up Siena get the both of us hell out of this town.
"The dagger was used to kill Elijah you'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house." He had this smug look on his face, but I had vital information that he doesn't know about, I intend to keep that to myself.
"Ok, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is. The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah. Ohh, that guy is a buzzkill." Elijah was thousand the man that Klaus is, he knew that. That's the reason why he thought of him being such a buzzkill.
"Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend, Jenna." Maybe if I helped him to not slip up, he maybe he will be kinder towards me, seriously who I am kidding there no way in hell he would ever do that.
"Right Elena's aunt, for all the lies about Isobel. What else?" He hadn't mentioned Siena yet, which confirmed my theory that he had no idea that the dimidium sanguine was in town. I knew I could sell her out and make all Klaus's Christmas's all come at once, but I had loyalty towards Julian I wouldn't sell out his daughter, as very un-like me that maybe.
"That's it." He came closer to me and touches my face, and I involuntary jumped at his touch which amused him. He was has been the one thing I've fears in the last 500 years, I betrayed him, stopped him from completing this ritual that he was determined to compete. To say I wasn't scared right now would be a total understatement.
"Oh, so jumpy." He was enjoying the fact that I feared him, he had been chasing me for 500 years, right now his being far to calm with me.
"Please, just... kill me I've told you everything that I know." To sit here waiting to die was something I didn't want, but I couldn't sit here no longer with him playing mind games, I just wanted over and done with.
"You see, I believe that you believe that, but what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything? Tell me." He looked into my eyes, as he began to compel me.
"They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an Original, without a dagger." I hated the fact that piece of information came out, but I'm grateful that I didn't blurt out about Siena, I guess my will to keep her existence a secret can overcome his compulsion.
"Bonnie, the best friend? I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore" He was a little surprised to hear about that, but that all I knew about the Salvatore's diabolical plan to take him down.
"She doesn't or didn't. I don't know you kidnapped me, remember? I'm kinda out of the loop." That was the truth I was stuck here, how the hell was I meant to know what was going on.
"Well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that." Klaus always got whatever he wanted and I'm sure he will find out what going on some way or another.
"Please, just kill me, Klaus, and be done with it." I wanted all over with, this what he was doing right now longing out my death was far worse than death itself.
"And show you kindness? I've searched for you for over 500 years. Your death is going to last at least half that long." He takes a knife from his pocket, there was that evil glint in his eyes. "I want you to take this knife... And stab yourself." Once again he compelled against my will, I took the knife from him and stabbed my thigh. I held in my screams, I didn't want him to have the satiation hearing them. "Now take it out." I took it out my wound was healing. "Now while I'm gone, I want you to do that over and over and over again and if you get bored, switch legs." This isn't going to be pleasant. I looked up to see him going towards the front door.
"Where are you going?" He stood there with this smirk on his face. Was he planning on go out there pretend to be Alaric?
"I'm gonna go lay eyes on my precious doppelgänger." I really didn't like where all of this was going, what if he sees Siena? "Oh, don't look so glum, Katarina. The fun is just beginning. Again." He leaves I began to stab myself again, this is really not going how I planned.
Siena P.O.V
Yesterday seeing Isobel committing suicide in front of me had me thinking about a lot things, I know she wasn't what I expected her to be, in all honestly I didn't imagine my biological mom to be baking cookies in the kitchen. It's just the one thing that suck in my mind where her words about being disappointed, she was right she was exactly that. To be treated in this way by the single person you thought would never hurt you… your own mother. The only way I'm going to escape my past is not to avoid it or forget it, but to accept and forgive. So I forgave Isobel for what she had to do, by giving up her daughters; I would like to think wherever she is right now she knows that. Because thoses last few moments I spent with her before her death, I saw something different, I actually met a mother who cared for her daughter. I want to remember her as that person, not the vindictive person everyone including me saw, so I'm going to hold on to that memory and let the rest go.
It took me a little while for Damon to snap out of his bad mood, he didn't trust John whatsoever, and I got that. They had bad blood between them, but John was being genuine, he wanted to save his little girl, he would do whatever it took to keep her safe, when I explained that to Damon his attitude changed. I wanted a night not thinking about the big bad that was coming, all I wanted was a normal night in with my boyfriend like millions of other girls would be doing. We had a movie night in bed, which turned out to not be a great idea as Damon mind was on distracting me from the movie to make out. As many times I tried to say we would continue this once the movie was done, once I would get back into the movie he would start again, it wasn't registering in his head. In the end I missed the whole point to the movie, so I just gave in to him which made Mr Salvatore very happy.
In the morning when I woke up and Damon told me the lawyer was coming over, to sign the papers of the house over to us. I was still blown away by the gesture, I mean the both of them would literally do anything to keep us safe, but having our own personal safe would that be enough to keep Klaus out? We hardly knew anything about Originals, what if Klaus was different to Elijah, what if he didn't need an invite to come in? All this questions were going to drive me crazy, so I attempted to get out of bed without waking Damon.
"No, no you not going anywhere, his not going to be here for at least an hour." He spoke while he pulled me back into his arms. As much as I wanted to stay in bed I wasn't like him, I was human, I had human needs, I didn't have super sped to get myself ready in a blink of an eye.
"Salvatore, you can't always have it your way." I looked up at him he began to pout which was adorable, but not working on me today. "I need to get ready, I need to eat… you know food, that stuff us humans need to function." I wasn't a vampire where all I needed is blood and booze to keep me going, I needed solid food and coffee to even attempt to face the day.
"Ok, you have a shower, and ready and I'll make you breakfast." He placed a soft kiss on my lips before getting up, before I even turned he was dressed.
"I have a confession—" He stopped and looked at me with worrisome expression. "—I'm kind of jealous of the vamp speed thing!" He chuckled as he came over to me, and kissed me on the forehead.
"Well I love you, with your jealously and all." That was a nice to hear that first thing in the morning from the man you love, that he loved you for your perfections and imperfections.
"Love you." I stretched up to kiss him before he left the room. I went into the bathroom and went and had a shower I came out and went to get my clothes and underwear I got changed into Jeans and a bright green fitted shirt. I looked through my shoes and I found my tan strappy heels I put them on I fixed my hair I put up in a messy bun. I headed downstairs, I could smell the food coming from the kitchen, and it smelt pretty amazing. I walked into the kitchen and notice that I didn't see Stefan and Elena, they must have been asleep still. Damon had laid out on the table there was all different types of food cereal boxes, a basket of bagels, plate full of toast, a bowl with eggs with all this you could feed a family of 10. I looked at Damon he was walking over with another plate in his hand filled with bacon.
"I know I said I need food, but are you planning on feeding a large family?" I pulled out my chair and sat down, looking at the selection of food on the table unable to decide what to try first.
"Actually, I've made it for all of us. Stefan and Elena be down soon for school, can't let them go with an empty stomach. What kind of guardian would I be?" Damon liked to use his sarcasm to hide his true feelings, especially when it came to Stefan. I know in the past things hadn't been great between them, but what I've seen in the last few months is Damon trying to make amends for whatever mistake that were made between them both.
"Okay, how can you even eat? If technically you're supposed to be... " I asked confused, he looked up from his plate.
"Dead… It's not such a bad word as long as I keep a healthy diet of blood in my system, my body functions pretty normally." I felt my mouth form a 'O', he began to chuckle at my expression. I guess I had never really seen him sit down and eat, Damon either had glass of bourbon, or blood in his hand, never real food. Not long after Elena and Stefan joined us, Elena sat next to me she looked a little better today, which pleased me, but I didn't want her to feel like we could never talk about what happened. I know that is something I need to approach her about, it would be healthy not only for her, but the both of us to talk about our feeling in regards to Isobel. We all finished eating, Elena and I began to cleared up, there was a knock at the door Stefan went to open it, after a few minutes Bonnie came in.
"Hey guys." She seemed in bright spirits today, which was great considering that she had been depressed over the last few weeks not having powers.
"Hey Bonnie." Elena seemed happy to see her, I was wondering how come she turned up here, Bonnie making such an early call at the Salvatore residence was very unlike her.
"Hi, what are you doing here so early?" I asked, as she took a piece of toast, not that I didn't want her to be here, I was just curious more than anything.
"I just wanted to check on the both of you, before I went to school" That was kind of sweet of her to be doing that, she had a strong bond with Elena, it was like they were sister so of course she was concerned about what happened. The doorbell went again. What with the early visit? After a few moments Damon came in the Kitchen.
"Mr Henry here for you both to sign the deeds." We headed out of the kitchen, the Lawyer was in the parlour sorting through the paper work, Elena and Bonnie went to sit on the couch, while I looked at Damon and Stefan who were standing at the entrance of the parlour.
"Don't you both need to be waiting outside?" They both smiled and walked toward the front door. The whole reason behind this was so that Elena and I could invite vampires in who we trust, I just hope that this plan works with Klaus. I took a seat in the arm chair while Elena was signing papers, when she was done Mr Henry passed them to me.
"Please sign here, and here Miss Russo." I took the pen from him and signed he looked at me and smiled and began to pack away the paper work.
"Okay." It was done we had our own a personal safe house, with two vampires guarding us we should be pretty safe now.
"So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you?" Bonnie asked arching her brow, yeah I know even we were surprised by it all too.
"For now as joint owner with Siena. We are the only one who can invite a certain type of person in here, if you know what I mean." Bonnie smiled I think she understood the reason behind it all, without letting Mr Henry asking some very questionable questions.
"Your own personal safe house." Bonnie was spot on, which got me thinking if Damon was to piss me off, I can ban him from the house now. Actually thinking about it he would kill me if I did that.
"That's the idea." Elena spoke chirpy, Stefan must of really cheered her up last night for her to be this happy, I would rather see her smiling than the state I saw her in last night.
"Wouldn't want to clean it." Bonnie spoke as she glanced around the room, which made us laugh. She had a point I think we might need a maid or two to clean this place. Mr Henry had all the paper work in order, and was ready to leave, both Elena and I walked him to the door.
"Thank you, Mr Henry." He smiles and walks away, the both of us said at the same time, which made us both laughed. We turned to walk back in the house, but stopped when we notice that Damon and Stefan were still outside, of course they couldn't just walk in now as they weren't invited.
"I'm sorry. I completely forgot." Elena looked at Stefan with a huge smile. "Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house?" She was forgetting that this house was in both of our names.
"Excuse me. Our house." Elena cheeks flush bright red, I think I may have embarrassed her.
"I would love to, thank you." Stefan tells her and he enters the house and puts his arm around her and they walked off. I stood in the door way looking at Damon with a grin on my face, while he didn't look impressed with m. I think it was time for Salvatore to set some ground rules.
"What are we, 12?" He spoke as he came closer to the door. I was trying to fight my smile, because I saw this as a perfect opportunity for us to make things clear about how all this was going to go down.
"If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?" He leaned against the door frame with a smirk, but I think Damon and I had different idea about what he needed to be obeying to.
"Depends what you want me to obey to?" Typical Damon always thinking of the bedroom, it's time I gave him a little reality check.
"Damon our way remember. You promised we called the shots. No lies, no secret agendas. Remember?" The smirk faded from his face, Damon knew that there weren't going to be anymore second chances this time with me.
"Yes, it's gonna be your way." I'm glad he finally agreeing with me, because I was tired of arguing with him, I want our relationship to be solid, and the only way that could happen is that we worked as a team.
"Then please, come in Damon." He came through the door, and I saw him looks at Stefan, who was quietly laughing, he must have heard the whole conversation.
"Shut up!" Damon told him bitterly, as we walked towards the parlour, Bonnie came in and gives Elena her jacket.
"Thanks." As Elena began to put it on both brothers looked at her, did they think that Elena was going skip school until this Klaus issue was done with?
"Wait, where are you going?" If Elena maybe going to school, I'm not planning on sitting around here all day with the guards watching over me.
"To school." Elena replied bluntly, Stefan looked at her stunned. Seriously did he expect her to stay here all day?
"Huh?" Stefan was really confused, I began to laugh Damon and Stefan glared at me I felt like a naughty school kid, but they were foolish to think that they were going to keep us on lock down just because they signed their house over.
"No, no, no. We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it." I think things are going to be worse than before with the whole protecting thing, as cute as it is for them wanting to do that they didn't need to go over the top about it.
"Yeah, guys, Klaus is out there. We know that." Stefan was clearly panicking, and yeah Klaus out there but we didn't have a clue what the hell he looked like. So what were we meant to do stay prisoners in the Salvatore home?
"Right. But where? No one knows. Look; I really appreciate what you guys are doing. And I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll be safe here, but I'm not going to be a prisoner." Elena stated as she looked at the both of them, all I saw was that Damon looked like he was about to blow in any moment.
"Your way, it is." Damon said sarcastic before looking over at me, I knew that killed him to say that but he agreed that he wouldn't go against us.
"Don't worry, I'm ready if he shows his face, I can take him. Know how." Bonnie sounded like a force not to be reckoned with, now that she's all juiced up I had no worries about Elena's safely, and neither should the Salvatore's.
"The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be. Come on." They began to leave, I picked up my bag, I wasn't going to stick around in here all day.
"Wait for me, I'll walk out with you." I told them they both stopped and smiled.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" I heard Damon demanded, I stopped in my tracks and turn to him, looks like this is going to be the first argument of the day.
"Out. Elena going to school, I'm going to do something productive than sitting in here cooped up in here all day." Both brothers didn't look pleased but this is how it was going to go down, we had to move on with our lives, there wasn't any indication that Klaus had even reached Mystic Falls. I certainly wasn't going to stay in hiding till he did, my freedom all I have left until he takes it all away from me.
Elena P.O.V
Yesterday was an emotional rollercoaster, I never thought I would be mourning over Isobel, but it was her final words that really got to me. To see her kill herself in front of Siena and I because she hated what she had become, and not be the disappointment of a mother she appeared to us. I saw how badly this affected Siena, she had known about Isobel for less than a day, she didn't even get the chance to speak to her, to ask questions about her father. Even though Siena and I were on the outs because of what I did, she was there for me, comforting me to deal with this grief. The whole journey back home she kept telling me that everything was going to be okay, that we still had each other and we will pull through this. Stefan and Damon were surprised to hear about Isobel untimely death, but also John was surprised by the news. Siena and I sat down with him, and heard him out, he sounded genuine as he spoke, that he would do whatever it took to keep not only me safe but Siena also.
The brothers came up with the idea that they were going to sign the deeds to the house over to Siena and I, we were both taken back by this gesture. When morning came the lawyer came round, it was all official the new owners of the boarding house were Siena and I. The brothers thought in doing this that it would be a personal safe house, also known as a prison, I wasn't going to put my life on hold for Klaus to turn up. I'm so glad Siena gave Damon the speech of things going our way from now on. Damon is actually listening to her, I admire how Siena can talk him out of things, she had really bought a different side to Damon, a side of him that I've grown to like. We arrived at school, we had history with Ric first period. Everyone sitting down; I pulled out the poster for the decade dance and shows it to Stefan with a smile.
"No." I pouted at him as I thought it would be fun to actually go, I looked over at Bonnie and show it to.
"Yes. I'm up for going." I looked back at Stefan trying to convince him with my puppy dog eyes, he chuckled and nodded to say he would go.
"Hello, class what are we learning today?" Ric always knew what he had plan in a lesson, but maybe with everything going on with Jenna and Isobel turning up, he probably forgot.
"With the decade dance tonight, we've been covering the sixties all week." Dana told him. He nodded and put his bag down on the table, he seem a little out of sorts, maybe I should check on him after class.
"Right. The sixties." He stood there staring directly at me which was freaking me out slightly. What was wrong with him? He turn around to the board. "The, uh, ahem..." He writes on the board. "The sixties…. I wish there was something good I could say about the sixties, but... Actually, they kind of sucked. Except for the Beatles, of course they made it bearable. Uh, what else was there? The Cuban missile thing, the... we walked on the moon. There was Watergate." He really wasn't with it today, how could he be forgetting the most vital things that happened in the 60's?
"Watergate was the seventies, Ric. I-I mean, Mr Saltzman." I didn't want to embarrass him by correcting him, but he didn't seem to be, he just looked at me kind of amused.
"It all kind of mushes together up here, the sixties, seventies. Thank you, Elena." I really shouldn't have done that, I know out of class we got on, but I should respect him as a teacher.
History was really weird today Ric was defiantly not himself, I didn't have time to speak to him after class, so I will speak to him after school or the dance I know he be there. The morning went pretty fast, it was lunch and I headed to the school cafeteria. I saw Bonnie and Jeremy sitting together at a table and I walked over and sat with the both of them.
"Hey, Jer… How you doing? Are you ok at the house alone with John?" He didn't look overly impressed. I really hope John wasn't giving him a hard time, that's the last thing that Jeremy needs on top of everything else.
"It's not ideal." I could tell he wasn't happy about it. He gets up I wonder if he heard anything from Jenna.
"You haven't heard from Jenna, have you?" I hated the fact she wasn't home, and that she literally hated me right now because of what I did. I just want her to hear me out, I will tell her everything from the beginning to present day, I will not hide anything from her she had a right to know about this world we are mixed up in.
"It looks like she's staying on campus. Look I'm- I'm late for class." He looks at Bonnie, she puts her head down. What was going on with the both of them?
"What's going on?" I felt a little tension between them both, were they in an argument of some kind?
"I told him he had to dress up tonight, and he got all uptight" That sounded like something Jer would get annoyed about, he will get over it.
"Oh." I looked up to see Dana approaching our table. .
"Hey, Elena, there you are Ok. This is going to sound freaky, but this totally hot guy just asked me to ask you if you're going to the dance tonight." She sounded really excited, I began to laugh at the comment because the whole school knew I was dating Stefan.
"Tell him she has a boyfriend." Bonnie told her, I smiled at her thanks for the backup Bonnie.
"You could at least meet him he'll be at the dance tonight look for him. His name is Klaus." As soon as Dana spoke that name I felt my jaw dropped, I looked over at Bonnie and she looked just as worried as I was.
"I'm sorry, what did you just say?" I had to hear it again; he couldn't be here no way! It was impossible for him to just turn up overnight, wasn't it?
"His name's Klaus. I know the name's stupid, but I swear he's hot." Bonnie began to look around while I sat there frozen by the fact that he was finally here. We had nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, he was here to get me… he will get Siena too.
"Where is he? Is he here?" Bonnie asked Dana looked at her a little confused.
"I don't know." Dana told us in a monotone tone.
"She's being compelled," I couldn't speak I felt my stomach turn, he was here and we didn't have a clue what he looked like, Dana looks at me.
"But he wants to know if you'll save him the last dance. How cute is that?" She had this huge smile on her face. Klaus was here, he was here in Mystic Falls I thought we had more time…
Damon P.O.V
I had just got a message from Stefan that Klaus was at the school passing messages like a kid, Stefan was bring Elena home as it wasn't safe at school for her. Right now I'm on my way to drag my girlfriend home before Klaus would start messing with her head also. The fact that he had turn up the way he did has gotten me even more worried, he was here for only one reason that was to take the girls for his needs. I thought we had more time, I guess in my mind I thought that Klaus wouldn't turn up this soon, that maybe we had weeks, possibly months till we had to deal with him. I found out through Liz that Siena was at the Grill, I put my foot down on the accelerator got down there as fast as I could. All I kept thinking was how was I going to break this to her? I walked into see her sitting in one of the booths eating fires while she was looking through her phone. I walked over and sat opposite side to her she look up, with this huge smile on her face, she looked happy right now after everything she's been through, now I'm about to burst that bubble.
"Hey boyfriend, what's up? I hope you're not still upset." She sat there with this cheeky grin, I don't know how she going to take this, but I had to be straight with her about what was going on right now.
"Siena, I need to bring you back to the house, Klaus has made his first move already." The smile faded from her face as she dropped her fork, allowing hit the plate.
"W-what? W-w-where?" She was clearly terrified by the news, I wanted to comfort her but we didn't have time for that, Klaus could walk in here any moment and we had no idea what he looked like. I got up from my seat and held out my hand to her, I needed for her to be at the house where I knew she would safe.
"Come on I'll explain it all at home, Elena and Stefan will be there." Siena nodded as she pulled out her purse and left money on the table, I could see her hand shaking as she did it.
As we left Siena was going towards her car but, I told her to leave it here and I would pick it up later, she agreed and got into my car. We drove back to the boarding house Siena was really quite the whole way, I wanted to know what was going through her mind, but I didn't push her to talk about it. I got out of the car walked over to her side and opened the door she got out and smiled, I held her hand and we both walked into the house. Stefan, Bonnie and Elena are in the living room they looked at us with worried expressions. Siena let go of my hand and went rushing over to Elena to hug her, they both looked scared. It wasn't just a story of Klaus coming, he was here now and the reality sinking in for both of them.
"So we go to the dance, we find him." Elena and Siena pulled away from each other looked over at me a little stunned by my comment. Klaus wants to save a dance for Elena, the only place we could take him down would be at the school dance.
"Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like." Was Stefan that stupid of course Klaus would stand out like sore thumb, I don't think the original dick going to mix well with a bunch of kids.
"Something tells me he's not going to be 16 and pimply." I walked over and poured myself a drink to calm down my own nerves, this was all sinking slowly for me too. He was here and once he see Siena he planning on taking her, I can't allow that to happen, the thought of her leaving my life felt like a stake to the heart.
"He could be anywhere at any time he compelled somebody at school." Stefan wasn't helping the situation, all he was doing is scaring the girls even more. Then again he had a point he could pop anywhere playing mind tricks sending people to them.
"I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" The both of them didn't say a word, they were all confident this morning about living there lives now we don't hear a peep out of them. I heard someone knocks on the door, I looked and saw Ric walks in, brilliant just the man I wanted to see. "There you are." I texted him over an hour ago his only making an appearance, talk about taking your time.
"Sorry I'm late." He looked around the room, but his focus was on Siena, he stood there with widen eyes, his mouth slightly gaping opened.
"Hey, I need you to put me and Siena down as a chaperon at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move." He snapped out of the trance looking at my girlfriend. What was the deal with that?
"Ok, so we find him and then what, hmm? What's our plan of attack?" Elena had no idea what we had planned for that douche, if he had spies in the town aka Katherine he will think that Bonnie out of juice and we are totally hopeless.
"Bonnie is the plan. He has no idea how much power she can channel. We can find him, she can kill him. If the Original dick thinks he can get the dimidium sanguinis and doppelganger he has another thing coming because. There no way in hell his going to have everything he want's that easy. Klaus dies simple as that!" Siena was fully charged with fighting spirit, it was like all that fear she had in the car went. Siena is the big sister, she had to be strong to get through this for Elena. I looked over at Ric who was taken back by Siena little speech. I'm sure I told him about Bonnie getting all juiced up, so why is he looking like this is all news to him.
"That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around." Was Ric on team Klaus or something? There was no way in hell he could upstand Bonnie, 100 witches behind her Klaus is dead.
"Alaric has a point. I mean, what if he..." Looks like I needed to do some show and tell, I rushes over to attack Bonnie, but she throws me on the other side of the room with her powers, without touching me.
"Well, I was impressed" Stefan added with a smirk. He needed to be because we had one badass witch on our side and for the first time we had a winning chance.
"It doesn't matter if he's an Original, I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can kill him. I know I can." It looks like Klaus is going down tonight!
Katherine P.O.V
I had been tied to this god dam chair all day stabbing myself with the knife Klaus/Alaric gave me. The pain had been becoming unbearable, and also boring now. I kept thinking about what was happening in the world out there, if he had seen his doppelgänger, I bet his playing games with her right now. I would love to see the look on Elena face when she learns that his here, just to see that will give utter satisfaction in being tied up here. I just hope that Damon got Siena under lock and key, if Klaus see her, I can honestly say I don't know what will happen. I heard the door open it was Klaus/Alaric walking into the apartment.
"Ah, you're right this witch is all juiced up and aiming to kill." So Damon found a way to get Bonnie mojo back, I didn't think he had it in him. Klaus walks over to me looks down at my legs which were bleeding.
"That's terrible." Before I knew it he had his hands wrapped around my throat. "Klaus what are you doing" I didn't understand why he was attacking me?
"Katarina, why did you failed to tell me that dimidium sanguinis was right here in Mystic Falls." As he spoke his grip tighten round my throat. This wasn't good, he actually saw Siena!
"You saw your ex I take it?" He glared at me before letting me go, began to walk away. Siena Russo was a sore subject for him, now with him knowing she's dimidium sanguine would that change his plans. "Klaus you do know she with Damon, and he do anything to protect her." He stopped before turning to me, there was clear sign of jealousy in his eyes proving that he was still in love with her.
"She dating the older Salvatore?" I guess he didn't get the chance to see Diena showing there public display of affection, it's quite sicking, trust me I've seen far too many of them. "I thought she had better taste." He walked towards to kitchen where his warlock was the ass hole who caught me.
"We're gonna have to kill the witch, Maddox." He opens a drawer. "Do you think this Alaric guy has anything vintage?" He looks at the shirts and sees that there's something under he opens it. "Crossbows, wooden bullets and automatics? Who is this guy, again?" Klaus didn't do his research before taking over Alaric body.
"He's the local vampire hunter." The look on his face right now was a classic, Klaus and vampire hunters loath one another, now his in possession of one, the irony.
"Ahh. Well, that explains the clothing." He seemed amused now. If he was heading to this dance that will be my ideal opportunity to run, get the hell out of this town.
"All I could find. Guy likes his bourbon." Maddox tell him while passing him a glass to Alaric/Klaus takes it, he seemed impressed.
"I knew there was something about him I liked. There's a high school dance and I'm gonna need you to take out witch bitch." Maddox looked a little concerned, something telling me that this Bonnie take down isn't going to be as easy as Klaus thinks.
"If she has that much power, she can sense me coming from a mile away. I won't be able to get near her. You have to do it." Alaric/Klaus, he sighed in frustration that would something interesting to watch him facing a very pissed off Bonnie Bennett.
"In this body? I'm a haggard history teacher she can easily hurt me. I mean, not me, Klaus me, but you know what I mean." I began to listen in more to see if I could get more of an indication of what Klaus's plans are.
"No witch could handle channelling that much power it'll kill her. It would kill me you just have to make her use it." I don't like that sounds of that… Wait when did I start caring if Bonnie lives or dies? Being held against my will is clearly messing with my mind.
"You mean like provoking her to death?" Alaric/Klaus asked.
"Won't take long Just keep attacking her until it kills her. His body, Alaric's, will last longer than hers will." How the hell is Alaric body going to outstand a Bennett witch? That was virtually impossible.
"How? He's human." Klaus/Alaric sounded confused and so was I, how did this witch think he could be a match against Bonnie?
"I can help in that department. I can do a spell to protect you." Maddox informed him Alaric/Klaus looks at me I lowers my head. While Alaric/Klaus is buy playing with Bennett bitch I'm gonna get as far from here as I can.
Siena P.O.V
So it turns out that tonight the night we take Klaus down, and I'm going to pop the champagne cork once it's done. Elena didn't really share the same enthusiasm but I had total faith in Bonnie kicking Klaus's ass, and I hope I have a front row seat for that. Once discussions were done everyone had left to get ready for this dance, going to high school dance after graduating nearly two years ago wasn't the top of my bucket list. It's not like I had a choice in going, Damon basically told Ric to add us on the list to chaperone, that's something I never envisioned myself doing. With this dance being a 60's dance, it was hard trying to find something to wear, nothing in closet was suitable, times like these I wished I was back in New York cause I had the perfect outfit to wear unfortunately that couldn't happen. So here I was digging through old boxes that Damon gave me that had 60 clothing in. While I was getting frustrating searching for something to wear, Damon was laying on the bed relaxing with no car in the world.
"Your relatives were such packrats." I took out two potential outfits I held them up to show him, maybe he could help me make up my mind. "Ok, so what do you think? Twiggy or sexy hippy?" He looked up not impressed; thank Damon you're not being helpful what so ever right now, not like you gave me warning about this.
"Neither." If that was how he wanted to be that was fine by me, I didn't even want to go to this stupid thing. Now he being picky about what I should wear!
"Damon you're really not helping, you told Ric to add me to the list. I never said I wanted to come." He got up from the bed, and took the two dresses out of my hands threw them back in the box. What the hell was his deal? I wasn't in the mood for this, not tonight of all nights.
"You have a closet full of clothes, I'm sure you have something far better in there?" I rolled my eyes I was getting frustrated now with his pickiness. He pushed me down to sit on the bed. "Just sit here, don't move." He had his typical smirk on his face, he walked over to the closet. I heard him moving hangers, really Damon was trying to find me something to wear. I began to chuckle at the thought of it all. "Hey don't start." He called out from inside the closet, after a few moments he come out holding a short dress. It was light blush pink with sequence all over, it with a brown belt around the waist, I was impressed that Damon found that, because I had totally missed it. "Now I think you will look very sexy in this. It can pass off as 60's." He spoke as he came closer to me with this huge smile on his face. I stood up to take the dress from him before I stretching up and kiss him for taking away the stress.
"It's perfect. I'm sorry I just not myself…." I was stressing out more knowing that freak Klaus was in town, it made my skin crawl that he could be literally anyone.
"Hey." He cupped my face into his hand, I could see the worry in his eyes, he was concerned about Klaus showing up as I was.
"All this time spent worrying about Klaus I think I convinced myself that he's not real, but he is." I was being truthful about that, it kind of felt that Klaus was some kind of fictional charter, but today proved that wasn't the case and that scared the hell out of me.
"And tonight, we will put an end to him." Damon spoke confidently, before leaning in to kiss me. I hope that it's all going to plan out like we expected, this was our only chance to get him off guard, if anything messes it up then we were screwed.
"I love you." He caressed my cheek, looking at me with so much adoration, I could see just by the look in his eyes that the love that Damon had profound love for me.
"I want you to tell me that when the night's over." Damon was right we had Bonnie she would deal with that dick Klaus, I need to calm down and have faith in what Damon telling me.
Damon went down stairs so I could get changed as he was being far distracting. I finally got ready I did my makeup and my hair I kept my hair down and gave it a lot of volume, I changed into the dress Damon had picked out. I looked in the mirror and it's actually worked, the dress showed off all my curves, it fell to my mid-thigh, need footwear and I knew what would go I went and go out my Christian Louboutin brown boots they had slight platform at the front with 6 inch heels. It's a good thing I can walk like a pro all these heels of mine I put them on and it went perfectly. I left the bedroom and head down I heard them all talking in the parlour, as I walked in the first who caught my eye was Elena. She looked amazing in her paisley long sleeved fitted dress finished off with her white keen highs, they all turned around as they could hear my heels as I walked into the room.
"Wow Siena." Elena spoke with her jaw slightly gaping. Well my amazing boyfriend deserves the credit to have come up with his ensemble.
"You looking very sexy hippy." She looked really beautiful in what she was wearing, then again Elena always looked that way even first thing in the morning.
"Siena you look hot…" Stefan said with a grin, and Elena playfully hit him. I had to do a double take to check it was him who said it, but I notice he did that to annoy Damon I him growl beside me. He kissed my cheek as he snaked his arm around me being all territorial.
"Keep your eyes on your own hippy." He practically growled at him. Stefan just laughed he knew that comment got under Damon skin; he turned to me. "You look extremely edible. Why don't we forget Klaus for…." I cut him off before he could even finish off that sentence.
"No Salvatore." There was nothing that would stop me going to that dance tonight and seeing the end of Klaus, I want to look him in the eye as he takes his last breathe.
"Well ok if you insist. Let's go." He held out his arm and I linked with him all of house and drove to the high school. The one thing I had to remember tonight is courage is never to let your actions be influence by your fear.
We arrived at the high school Damon parked up, and we began to walk in I saw Bonnie and Jeremy talking they seemed to be having a debate. I think his not happy about Bonnie going against Klaus, I could see where he coming from, but I also understood why Bonnie wanted to do this. She loved Elena like a sister, I'm not deluded enough to think she will to take all this risk for me, I came as part of the package deal. Bonnie and I got on great, we really got know each other since me coming here, and I don't want her to die to protect us. My view on that changed after what I saw her do to Damon today, I was convinced she could do it. Damon had to go off somewhere god knows what his up to but I'll leave him to it. I walked into the gym with Elena and Stefan, it was decorated better than I thought it would. As we walked in we saw Bonnie and Jeremy.
"Hey you two. Oh, you look nice" Elena said complimenting Bonnie they both hugged.
"You too." Bonnie looked over at me with a huge smile. "Siena… you look gorgeous." She looked pretty amazing herself her very retro yellow and orange dress.
"I'm liking your retro look too." What I loved about Bonnie was her beautiful smile, I could see why Jeremy fell for her.
"You guys ready to do this?" Stefan sounded little nervous. While I looked around the room everyone was dancing, having a good time, no signs of an evil villain. I looked over at the stage to see some girl take the microphone.
"Thanks for being here, everybody we have a special shout-out tonight." We all stop in front of the stage, Damon had just come and he put his arm around my waist.
"This is for Elena and Siena. From Klaus." A song starts playing Elena just stood there stunned by what happened, while I felt my heart wanting to come out of my chest. He was here, in this very hall, I began to look round the room frantically to see if anyone looked out of place.
"That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us." I was still looking round to see if I could spot him. "Siena…" I turned to look at him. "Everything going to be ok, you're not leaving my side all night ok." I knew Damon wouldn't leave my side all night so maybe I'll be ok, there was nothing to panic about.
"I know everyone here." Elena spoke as she looked frantically around the room.
"Maybe he's not here Just wants us to believe that he is." Stefan was trying to calm Elena down. I had a feeling the Original ass hole was here, something tells me mind games are only the start to all this.
"It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us." Damon trying to make light of the situation, I don't know if that going to be the best idea having him come to us.
"Good idea." Bonnie takes Jeremy's arm, he did look too pleased.
"No, no, I really don't feel like dancing." Looks like Bonnie wasn't going to take no for an answer, as she got hold of his hand.
"Too bad." They went on the dance floor.
"Siena there Ric let's go." I looked to Elena who stood nervously at Stefan side. "We will be back." I think that was more for my benefit as I didn't feel comfortable leaving her, I know Stefan can protect her hundred times better than me so I should just relax. We walk over to Ric, he seemed in a world of this own until he noticed us coming towards him. He was acting a little strange today, because one moment he was all smiles the next it's gone. What's up with him today?
"Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted" Ric looking at me I arched my brow with this impressed look on his face. Was Ric proud of Klaus little trick.
"I'm not impressed." Ric looked taken back while Damon looked at me a little surprised by my response. I don't think he expected me to say that considering I looked scared a few seconds ago.
"No?" Ric questioned while Damon looked between us, If Ric thought that stunt was that great it doesn't really say much about this original douche.
"We'll Let me know if you see anything out of whack." Damon held my hand to walk off, but I was too focused on Ric, he kept staring at me in a weird way, maybe he liked what I was wearing. We began to walk back to Elena and Stefan, I needed a little time out from all this just to gather my thoughts.
"Damon I just going to use the bathroom, I'll be right back." He turned to me frowning. Please don't let me have a debate about going to bathroom with him.
"I'll come with you." He had to be kidding with me right now, he wasn't even going to let me go to the bathroom alone.
"Baby, I'll be fine. The bathroom only there." I pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "I'll be a couple of minutes, promise." He didn't look thrilled, so I gave him a kissed to sweeten him up. As much as I love him for being so protective, that he is doing as he promised not to leave my side, I just needed a moment to wrap all this Klaus stuff in my mind.
"Ok you have two minutes, or I'm coming in to get you." I looked back and he was still watching I shook my head and headed for the bathroom.
Damon P.O.V
So we were at this dance as Klaus want to save the last dance for Elena, two minutes here he had already been playing mind games on the girls. It worked, Elena was terrified along with Siena, and this guy was sick and twisted, the big bad hiding in the shadows. Ric been acting strange, not really himself, he even was impressed with Klaus lame attempt. What is up with the guy? I really didn't like how he kept giving Siena the googly eye, I know his going through a few things now, but he was acting out of whack. Siena had just gone to the bathroom, I really didn't like to leave her alone but I knew we would end up arguing, and somehow she wins. So I'll skip the arguing and let her win. I was looking around seeing if I can see anyone who looked out of place, all I could see was spotty teenage kids, everything seemed normal. Jeremy and Bonnie are dancing so were Elena and Stefan I notice Elena looking over at Caroline and Matt. Stefan gave me a look, which meant that he wanted me to keep an eye on Elena. So I went over and we began to dance Elena, she seemed little stunned with me approaching her without her noticing.
"How you doing?" I was worried about her too I didn't want this Klaus dick to kill her for some stupid curse.
"Um, freaking out a bit you?" I rolled my eyes to show that none of this was bothering me, but deep down I'm freaking out too, but I can't let them know that.
"Cool as a cucumber Come on, remember the last decade dance? The vampires were all, "Ahh!" And you were all, "Aahh!"" She began to laugh, that was a pretty interesting night, but in the end it worked out.
"Right and you won." This wasn't about me winning, it was about the fact that even that night we thought that it wasn't going to end well, and it really didn't.
"Yes! We did." I showed Elena some moves from the 60's, she looked pretty impressed.
"You're good at this." It was good to see her acting normal even if it was for a few minutes.
"I've got moves you've never seen." Stefan came back and cut in, I saw Bonnie and Jeremy were dancing I overheard their conversation. I needed to know if it was true about the possibility of Bonnie dying so I went over to cut in.
"May I?" Jeremy looks at me and leaves me and Bonnie danced.
"You heard Jeremy and me talking didn't you?" Of course I heard everything, I wouldn't just randomly cut in, I needed to know if what Jeremy was worrying about was true.
"Is it true?" I asked her she looked nervous which pretty much confirmed it all for me.
"Yes." I weren't convinced did she tell him it was a 50-50 shot to not worry Jeremy, something tells me the odds are very different.
"The part about you having a 50-50 shot of surviving? Is that true?" She looked a little frighten, from that expression I knew it was a lie, she was willing to die to save the girls.
"He was upset I didn't want him to worry." So there wasn't chance Bonnie was actually going to survive through this, she was will to die for Elena, for Siena.
"So you lay it out on the line for Elena for Siena, no matter what." I asked to see if she was serious about this, because I needed to know how far was she willing to go.
"No matter what." I couldn't believe she was willing to give up her life for them.
"Good." I saw Siena standing near the punch bowl, and some teenage jock was trying to flirt with her but she ignored him.
"You can't tell either of them." Bonnie told me snapping me out of my gaze.
"Your secret's safe with me, but I mean... With all that power, is there no way to increase your odds?" I had actually grew a little found of her I didn't want her to die.
"Careful, Damon I might start to think you actually care." Well I kind of did care for her, Bonnie had grown on me, and having her die would suck.
"We wouldn't want that." I left her on the dance floor, and walked over to Siena her smile grew when I got closer to her.
"I thought you said 2 minutes." She teased with a smile. I knew she was trying to keep her spirits up, she wasn't going to allow Klaus break her.
"Elena patrol then I had to speak to Bonnie about something I overheard." Maybe I shouldn't have said that part.
"What did you over hear?" I sighed she was waiting for me to reply. I promised her I wouldn't hide anything from her no longer, so it looks like I have to break the one I just done with Bonnie. It's time to tell Siena the truth of what going to happen with this Klaus take down.
Siena P.O.V
Damon kept to his word by not hiding anything from me, he explained about this conversation he overheard between Bonnie and Jeremy. I didn't know how to take the news, Bonnie didn't have a chance of coming out of this alive. Of course I went nuts at first, nearly making a scene but Damon stopped me. He was convinced that wasn't going to happen that Bonnie was underestimating herself, she was one badass witch who was underestimating her abilities. After his reassurance I felt a bit better, all of this was worst case scenario, Bonnie was going to do whatever it took to stop Klaus from getting what he came here for. I believed in Bonnie that the worst wouldn't happen, I had seen today what she was capable of there no way Klaus a mere original vampire could survive her powers.
Everyone is dancing I could see Damon is dancing with two girls they were all over him, he looked over where we were standing. I knew he did that to see if it bothered me, but it really didn't I knew Damon wouldn't stray away not after everything we had been through. He mouthed love you, I gave him a smile and mouthed love you. Bonnie approached me with this huge smile on her face.
"I overheard Amy saying she has a chance with Damon." Bonnie indicated at the blonde that Damon was twirling, I couldn't help but laugh in hearing that.
"Really? Well I'd like to see." Both of us were in fits of laughter.
"I need to talk to you." Elena appeared out of now where looking a little pissed, had something happened between Bonnie and her? "You too Siena." She began to walk away, Bonnie and I shared a look before following her. I glanced over at Damon he was looking over at us leaving, I gave him a reassuring looked before leaving the room. "How could you not tell us?" Elena demanded from Bonnie, I looked between the both of them I didn't know what Elena was so mad about with Bonnie that she hadn't told us.
"Cause I knew how you would react." Then it hit me Elena had just found out about what might happen to Bonnie, this conversation wasn't going to go down well.
"No. No way, it's not an option." This wasn't the best option in my mind either, but Bonnie seemed adamant about doing this, she had the confidence to take Klaus down once and for all.
"It's our only option." Bonnie wasn't going to back down, and Elena looked really upset now by Bonnie being stubborn about this situation.
"Then we'll find another way, ok? Bonnie, you're not dying to save our lives." I had to speak up because seeing Elena this upset about all this wasn't worth it. If it was Blair in Bonnie position I would be reacting the same, so there had to be another way to get rid of Klaus without resorting to Bonnie possibly dying.
"I have the power to save you both! If I don't use it and something happens, that would kill me more." Bonnie eyes filling up. She didn't want to stand on the side line and see the worse happening to her friend, she wanted to do whatever she could to stop the worse from happening. "Just answer one question... if the situation was reversed, would you do it for me?" Bonnie asked looking at Elena, she stands there and doesn't answer. "So you know why I have to." Bonnie confirmed to her.
"No. No!" Elena began to act hysterical, I wrapped my arm around to comfort her, and try and calm her down. She buried her head into my chest as she burst into tears, I looked at Bonnie she mouthed sorry, I knew no one was going to change her mind about this. Bonnie mind was set there was nothing any of us could do.
Damon P.O.V
I just watched Elena, Bonnie and Siena walk out of the halls, which pissed me off considering Klaus could be lurking anywhere. What they didn't understand about keeping together? Siena tried to give a reassuring look to say they be fine. but what if something happened. What if Klaus comes...? Bonnie can't beat him and takes Siena and Elena. All these crazy thoughts began to race around in my mind, I wasn't going to stay here like an obedient dog. I made my way to the exit when Stefan appeared out of nowhere, looking at me pissed. What was his deal now?
"Please tell me you didn't know that Bonnie was on a suicide mission." There was only one person who would have spilled that, and that was little Gilbert, now it makes sense why Elena took Siena and Bonnie out of here.
"Oh, great Jeremy told you and of course you told Elena, who has dragged Bonnie and Siena out of our view. Great work brother, good going with Klaus about." Stefan wasn't impressed with my outburst, but I didn't give a damn, why the hell would he even tell Elena that!
"Yeah, you promised them no more secrets." I had promise Siena not Elena, so no promise was broken in my eyes. We were both glaring at each other, we heard someone fighting we both rushed to where it was and there was group of guys were trying to beat up Jeremy. The next moment one of the guys shoots a stake at me.
"Hey idiots! Let me guess... Klaus says hi?" They were all geared up with weapons so that had to be the case. We rushes over them and fought them, I caught another boy and I was about to kill him.
"No, no, no, no, don't kill him. He's compelled." Like I give a damn if he was compelled, this dick tried to kill me.
"So?" I told him while glaring at the boy in front of me.
"So, the whole thing's a distraction. Go find the girls I got this. Go…" I threw the guy against the lockers and left.
Elena P.O.V
This night was getting out of control, from Klaus playing his mind games to finding out that if Bonnie faces him her chances of survival were at 50% chance. There was no way I could let her do this, and I know that Siena wouldn't either, after everything we did to keep them all safe I wasn't going to allow my best friend to die. So I had it out with Bonnie and no matter what we said she was going to go ahead with this, I couldn't bear the thought of losing her. The one things that left me lost for words was that she asked me if it was the other way round would I be so quick to back out. In that moment I knew I couldn't change her mind, which brought me to tears knowing that there was a possibility of losing her. Siena was hugging me trying to calm me down from the argument, she kept reassuring me that everything will be fine, that the worst case scenario wouldn't happen as Bonnie was one badass witch. I knew Siena was trying to make light of this situation, but it wasn't making me feel any better.
"Elena!" I heard Ric call out my name, I pulled away from Siena and looked at him worried. What had happened? "He has Jeremy." I felt my heart stop for a second as I tried to register what he had told me.
"What?!" Siena shouted, I looked at her she looked frighten now, it was like reality had finally sunk in for all of us, now Klaus had Jeremy there was no way that we were going to walk away from this. Tonight was going to be the night that we weren't going to be celebrating a victory.
"Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy. Come on" The three of us followed him, running through the hallways. All I kept thinking was what kind of state we would find Jeremy in, Klaus wouldn't kill him… Would he?
"Ok, so where are you taking us?" We seemed to be going hell of long way from the dance, and I know Jeremy wouldn't have gone this far, as upset he had been with Bonnie he just wouldn't do that.
"Just a little further." Ric his tone was different like he was amused by all this.
"Wait... Something's not right." Siena stated, we all stopped, she was right something wasn't right, Ric was acting real strange, actually he had been acting not like himself all day.
"Where's Jeremy?" Bonnie demanded, Ric starts to laugh at her.
"I just had to get away from that dance the sixties, uchh. Not my decade." He laughs again, while the three of us stood there looking at him really confused. "I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, and the jazz." Had Ric been compelled? He not making any sense right now, and it was starting to freak me out.
"Are you on vervain?" I question him; he looked at me very amused.
"Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?" There was a dangerous look in his eyes, as he looked at me as if he was ready to pounce on me.
"He's being compelled." I said looking at Bonnie and Siena, that had to be the reason, Klaus had gotten to him, made him lure us out here so he could capture us.
"Nope try again." He stood there with this smirk on his face looking very pleased with himself.
"What's going on?" I demanded. He kept looked at Siena in a strange way, while she stood there glaring right back at him.
"Ok, I'll give you a hint. I am not Alaric." What is he on about that his not Ric? Had he lost his mind?
"Klaus." Siena blurted out, and a huge smile appeared in his face, no this couldn't be happening, how could Klaus look like Ric, how could this happen?
"Surprise! Siena, you're not all about your beauty." Once again looking intensely at her, if this was Klaus we had just come to him all gift wrapped.
"Oh, no. No, it's not possible." He couldn't be here. No this can't be happening.
"Just relax, Elena I'm not here to hurt you you're not on my hit list tonight." He looks at Bonnie with a sadistic smile on his face. "But you are." Bonnie threw him against the wall with her powers, he gets up smiling. "Now, did I mention that I knew a witch? You're gonna have to hit me a lot harder than that." He rushes over her to attack, but she throws him against a display case. He starts to laugh, he was finding all this amusing. "By all means... Fire away!" He gets up from the ground. "If you kill this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy." Well all looked at each other in fear, because right now even with Bonnie powers we couldn't do anything.
"Go. Run. Run!" Siena shouted we all began to run, Bonnie closes the doors with her powers then out of nowhere Damon appeared.
"What happened?" He asked looking at all three of us.
"Klaus is in Alaric's body" As Siena told him what he just learnt Damon stood there speechless, I still couldn't believe Klaus took over Ric body. How could he even do that?
"What?" I looked over at Bonnie who kept looking back at the doors, waiting for him to make his appearance.
"He possesses it or something." Siena was panicking now, just as this all hit me, it had hit her too, Klaus wasn't some kind of myth he was here and took us all by surprise.
"Go find Stefan. Now." he half shouted at me, I didn't want to argue with him.
"Okay." Every part of me wanted to go and find Stefan, but I couldn't move I didn't want to leave Bonnie and Siena, not with that psycho around.
"Now!" Damon yelled, I looked at all three of them once last time before going in search for Stefan.
Siena P.O.V
Elena had left looking for Stefan she looked so frighten, and who could blame her, he was here Klaus was here to take what he thinks is rightfully his. Somehow Klaus had taken over Ric body, which brought a few things into light, the way he kept staring at me, I was the one thing that apparently will give him everything he had ever wanted. I was known as a myth, a dimidium sanguine was something rare that how Isobel put it to me, now I was in arms reach. I looked over at Damon, he looked really worried, I knew that he was beating himself up about letting us leave the gym. All he did was trust me by doing things my way, neither of us thought that Klaus had taken over Ric. I didn't want him to guilty about it, we never expected for Klaus to do such a move. Damon kept looking between Bonnie and I intensely, he was probably trying to devise a plan of how we were going to get the hell away from here before Klaus popped up.
"Can you kill him?" He asked while looking at Bonnie, she looked unsure. We couldn't allow Bonnie to attack him, Klaus may have control behind the wheel, but that was still Ric, Bonnie will kill him before even doing anything to Klaus.
"He's got some kind of protection spell on him Damon. Ric will die!" He looked at me, the he got hold of my hand and pulled me closer to him so there wasn't any distance between us. As much as I needed his comforting right now I was far more concerned with the fact if they went ahead with this we would be mourning over the death of a dear friend to all of us.
"You have the power of a hundred witches. Break it." I didn't know if Bonnie knew how to do something like that, she was taken surprise like the rest of us about Klaus body jacking. Like he said if she kill Ric, he would only jump into another body.
"I'm trying! If I kill Alaric, he'll just possess someone else. He knows I have my power, Damon. He's trying to kill me." I felt my heart racing now Klaus is going to do anything to get us, he wasn't going to back down till he did, and at what price? How many people have to die so that wouldn't happen?
"No Klaus does not get to win tonight, no way... You still willing to do whatever it takes to kill him?" Damon asked her she nodded, I wasn't happy about this, and I share my thoughts about with him. My worries were soon gone as Damon had come up with a plan, and I had to admit it was a pretty good one, even Bonnie was surprised. The odds were going into her favour now; she left me and Damon to do what she had to do.
Bonnie P.O.V
After leaving Damon and Siena I began to walk down the hallways to find Alaric/Klaus, I knew what I had to do, and I had to do it without killing Alaric. I know everyone not going to approve of what I'm about to do, but the one person who actually understood why I'm doing this was Damon funny enough. Who would have guess me and Damon agreeing on something? I know that Siena wasn't happy about this plan at first, but when it was explained more clearly she was fully on board with it all. Considering everything that going on right now I'm happy that Damon found Siena, because for the first time since knowing him I saw his humanity. He cared about what might happen to me taking Klaus down, the guy I knew from the days that wanted Katherine out of the tomb wouldn't have cared if I lived or died. So saving the girl who did that to him along with my best friend, I didn't need to think about it, they didn't deserve the fate that had been place on them. I began to approach the cafeteria Alaric/Klaus is sitting in a chair, a knife on his hand.
"What took you so long? Now, do you want to do this the easy way or the hard way?" I broke his wrist with my powers, but then he pops it back into place "The hard way. Got it" As he gets up I broke his shoulder with my powers, he began to groan in pain. "What? You'd kill your favourite history teacher? He teased. That weren't Ric and I'm not going to be doing that much damage.
"It's what Alaric would want. And he'd want you to suffer first" I felt something trickling from my nose, I touched it and saw the blood on my hands.
"Look at you." He taunted as I wiped my nose of the blood. "Is that all you got?" He liked games, then I was ready to play and I'm going to have fun kicking his ass in the processes.
"Let's find out." I started to use my power to fight him, once again I felt my nose was bleeding, and trickling into my mouth. I heard Elena and Stefan come with my powers I shuts the doors so they couldn't come in
"Bonnie, no!" Elena screams I'm still fighting with Alaric/Klaus, all I kept hearing was Elena screams. Stefan tries to open the doors but he can't. The power was draining from me, I couldn't do it no longer. I looked at Elena with a smile. My legs give way, I fell on the floor blacking out.
Siena P.O.V
I don't know how, but I had lost Damon somehow, I kept running around in these empty hallways fearing each corner I turned that I would run into Klaus. I was lost no idea what direction to head in, I quickly went down the stairs, I heard Elena screaming. Instantly the worst came into my head that Klaus had gotten her, my head was telling me to run the opposite way, but my heart screamed at me that she was my sister that running away wasn't an option. I ran in the direction of the screams, that when I arrived at cafeteria, to see Bonnie body on the floor and Elena crying over it. Stefan looked at me and I slowly approached Elena, I didn't know what to say to her right now, she looked broken.
"No! Oh! Bonnie! Bonnie, Bonnie! Bonnie! Hey, hey." She takes Bonnie in her arms. I saw Stefan looks around us probably to see if Alaric/Klaus was still here, but he was gone. "Stefan, she's not breathing!" She crying even more now. "Stefan! Stefan, I can't find her pulse! Stefan! Do something, please! Stefan, please! Just give her blood, do something, please!" She pleaded looking at him I didn't know what to do; I kind of froze on the spot.
"It's too late. I'm sorry." Elena's cried into Bonnie chest, all I wanted to comfort her but I couldn't not knowing what we did to allow this to happen.
"No! No. No, no, no, no, no! Bonnie! Bonnie, please, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" Damon entered the room, I looked at him as he looks at Bonnie on the ground with sorrow in his eyes before look up at.
"Stefan, get Elena out of here. I'll deal with the body." Damon spoke heartlessly, Elena looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes.
"What do you mean, deal with it?" Tears were streaming down her face, she looked utterly broken right now, her best friend was gone.
"The sheriff can't know about this. Last thing we need's another mysterious death." Elena looked at me with disbelief expecting for me to speak up and say something, but I couldn't.
"This is Bonnie!" She screamed at him, it hurt me seeing her like this, but what could I do my hands were tide.
"Get her home. Now. So I can clean this up." Stefan puts his arms around her and helps her to get up, but Elena didn't look like she was going to leave quietly.
"Hey, hey, hey." Elena couldn't even stand up on her own two feet, she was distort.
"No Jeremy. Oh, my God, Jeremy. What about Jeremy?" She said pushing Stefan away, I approached her, placing my hand to comfort her as best as I could.
"I'll find him." She looked at me with her bottom lip trembling, fighting back her tears. She looks at Bonnie's body, begin to crying and screaming, Stefan takes her into his arms and they leave. I stood there I felt tears roll down my face from seeing Elena reaction. Damon closes Bonnie's eyes, he looks up at me he notices that I'm crying, I couldn't hold them back no longer, to see Elena like broke my heart. .
"Princess everything going to be fine remember…" Even thought I knew that everything was going to be fine it didn't stop the tears, it didn't stop me from feeling bad seeing Elena in that state. "Please Siena, don't cry." He pulled me into a hug. I hope this don't go all wrong, because I realised that I'm not strong enough to handle all this. "We need to move Bonnie before anyone comes." He had to deal with Bonnie, not me crying here like a baby.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to have a meltdown. It's just seeing Elena like that got to me." He kiss me on the forehead before going over and picking up Bonnie body. We brought her to the car and drove to the abandon witches house, where Jeremy was waiting, he knew about this plan and was fully on board I just hope the witches will do there thing. I didn't go into the house because I couldn't face it all. Damon came back, and got into the car.
"How are you feeling princess?" He placed his hand on my left leg, I was feeling a million emotions right now, but being here with him I felt a lot safer.
"Scared, confused." Damon looked at me worried, but I was only telling him exactly what was going through my mind. "But when I'm with you I feel safe." I said placing my hand into his, he reached over and kissed me on the cheek.
We arrived at the boarding house Damon parked up and we both got out and walked to the front door, Damon opened it and looked back at me giving me a small smile. As much as I was putting on this brave face in front of him, I was truly terrified right now, knowing Klaus was here freaked me out. Okay he was using Ric to send a message but how long will it take until the real deal was here? It was just a matter of time, and knowing that just made me sick to my stomach. We walked into the parlour, and Elena is sitting next to the fire with glass bourbon in her hand. As soon as she saw us she got up from her sit, and walked over to where we were standing looking directly at Damon.
"What did you do with her?!" I saw him looking over at Stefan; he had to tell her now what the plan was, this couldn't continue like this, Elena was going to have a break down.
"Will you please calm her down?" Damon glared over at Stefan, I let go of his hand I wasn't sure where this was going right now, Stefan looked uneasy now as if he was preparing himself to fight with his brother.
"Don't talk like I'm not standing right in front of you." This was all getting a little too heated now, I needed Elena to calm down before she said or did something she would regret.
"Elena, please calm down." She shot a look at me like she wanted to freaking murder me, when did I become the bad guy?
"You knew! Didn't you? You knew that if she harnessed all that power, that she would die, didn't you?" Elena screamed at Damon. She really needed to control her anger right now, because I didn't like the way she was talking to him. Bonnie told her that it was her choice, no one pushed her to do it.
"Yes. Yes, I knew." She slaps him. I stood there speechless by her actions, she went to slap him again, but Damon grabbed both of her wrists stopping her.
"You need to listen to me, and prepare for what I'm about to say. Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a total surprise. She wasn't prepared for that. And he wasn't going to stop, and we weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew she was dead. He had to believe it!" Elena stood there confused, the anger and rage disappeared from her face. "She cast a spell. Bonnie's ok." I could see Damon was upset by what had just happened, he turn and went towards the stairs. Stefan follows him before looking at Elena who stood there stunned by what she heard.
"You know, you could have told me" Stefan called out, Damon stops in his tracks and turns, I could see he wasn't in the mood for his brother's comment right now after the slap he just received.
"How do I know when you're going to go blabbing things to your girlfriend?" That was something Stefan would have done if he knew about the plan, I know he would do that because he wouldn't want to see Elena getting up. Unfortunately that exactly what we need for this to all happen.
"You understand what you put her through?" Stefan spoke a little calmer now, what he didn't get was that Damon didn't do this to hurt her, he did all this to give us a better chance of surviving all this.
"See, that's why I didn't tell you. Because you would have never been able to do it. Don't get me wrong, Stefan. I don't mind being the bad guy. I'll make all the life and death decisions while you're busy worrying about collateral damage. I'll even let her hate me for it. But at the end of the day, I'll be the one to keep Siena and Elena alive." That all this came down to, Damon was trying to keep us both alive, fooling Klaus to think our magic weapon was gone. He didn't stick around to hear any more of what they had to say. I stood there processing everything that just happened and one thing really got under my skin, was the fact that even after Damon explained everything Elena hadn't even apologised for her actions.
"You know Elena, you didn't have to slap him like that." She looked at me totally stunned, that I had her back on this one, but I didn't. I understood she was upset and she lashed out, but the fact she found Damon thought this plan up to save us from the fate that we are both terrified about and didn't apologies infuriated me.
"Your defending him?! You think what he did was right?" I didn't like the fact that she stood there with wide eyes yelling at me, I really felt like was going to flip out now. Stefan stood next to Elena protectively, she obviously thought that something about to happen.
"Oh...I get it now! Elena Gilbert can't be left out of the loop, no, no she has to know everything." My voice was dripping with sarcasm, which didn't please her, as she stood there look at me completely stunned. "You seem to forget the fact that YOU kept things from ME, how about I refresh your memory for you. You NEVER TOLD ME that Isobel was ALIVE, NO SORRY, THAT SHES WAS A VAMPIRE." I had to stop talking, that if I allowed my rage to continue, I would do something that I wouldn't be able to take back. Elena had this fearful look on her face, while Stefan stood there stunned by my outburst.
"Siena I thought you and Elena were over this now." Was he being for real! What else could I expect from him, of course Elena will always come out of any situation smelling like roses in his eyes.
"You know what Stefan I was." I looked back at Elena she looked little frighten now, I was unpredictable right now, and probably looked like I was going to pounce her. "You hid a lot of stuff from me, you lied to me, but that fine because it's me, but when it comes to YOU! Oh no it's a different story poor. ELENA FREAKING GILBERT we all have to watch out for your F**KING feeling" I went closer to her as she stood there with tears roll down her cheeks, seeing her like this didn't bother me, she needed to cry, because of her actions this happened. "You talk about do things to protect the ones you love, but all you do is F**CK EVERYTHING UP." Stefan got in-between us to act like some kind of shield, there was no way I'm having him stopping me saying what needs to be said.
"Siena you need to calm down." He spoke as he placed his hand on my shoulder, I took a step back I didn't want him using his tactic to try and calm me down. All this anger a rage is a build-up of a lot things, Elena can't always be wrapped up in cotton wool all the time she needed to hear this.
"Stay out of this Stefan. My little sister needs to hear this." I went to take a step towards her, but I felt a pair of arms around my waist pulling me back, I looked it was Damon with a worried look. "YOU ELENA need a reality check, what Damon did tonight with Bonnie was to help PROTECT US. To make KLAUS THINK HE GOING TO WIN NOW, but in your eyes that WRONG!" Elena stepped away from Stefan I could finally see her clearly without her vampire shield. She stood there with tears streaming down her face, her whimpering tears wasn't going to stop me for finally putting her in her place.
"Siena you knew about the plan…" She spoke in between tears. Did she really think after everything that has happened between Damon and I that he would still hide things from me?
"I'm not been kept out of the dark ANYMORE, as much as you would prefer that!" I went to step closer to her and Damon held me back with his grip, and all it was doing was making me more furious than I was before.
"Siena you need to calm down, you're going to say or do something you will regret." What was it about Elena goddamn Gilbert that everyone thought the sun shone out of her ass, she the one that fucked up and now I'm the bad guy?
"How can you stand there and defend her! I'm sick of all of this." I began to try and get out of Damon grip, but the more I fought against him the tight his grip became.
"I'm not defending her. I don't want you to say something or do something I know you will regret." He finally let go of me, and looked at me with me those pleading eyes, I wasn't going to fall for his puppy dog eyes.
"Siena I'm—" Elena began to say but I cut her off, I didn't want to hear any of her excuses.
"After everything Elena you hid from me I put it behind us, because somehow in my mind I understood you didn't do it to hurt me. You did it because I'm your sister that you love me." I step closer now, Damon didn't hold me back, and Stefan stood a couple of feet away from Elena. " I stood there watching you screaming at Damon because you thought you lost your friend, and when he told you the TRUTH what happened YOU didn't even attempted to APOLOGISE for what you did! I've come to see that we are very different people Elena. It must be down to the Gilbert gene, thank god Julian is my father, or I'll be ungrateful brat like YOU!" I took a step back and turned around, Damon was directly behind me looking speechless, I walked pass him and went upstairs as I think I've said enough for one night.
I went into bedroom and I began to pace I had so much penetrated anger in me, I had never felt this kind of anger before. I just hated double standards. I had to calm down but I had no idea how to do that, I wanted to hit something, to throw something to outlet this rage that consuming me right now. I looked up to see Damon was in the door way, I swear if he was going to argue with me I will lose it completely.
"I came up to see that you're okay." He spoke as he walked over to me. "Why don't you go and have a hot shower, it might make you feel better." He spoke while stroking my cheek which strangely enough began to calm me down.
I got undressed and step into the shower, I did actually start feeling better, I was expecting Damon to join me, as he never misses the chance to see me naked. I guess he was letting me cool down, I did just go full on psycho down there freaking them all out. I got out and wrapped a towel around me and began to walk into the bedroom. Damon was sitting on the bed he looked up and smiled I heard light knock on the door, it was Elena standing the doorway, Damon looked at her.
"Ugh Look. Klaus had to think she was dead, your reaction had to be real." He was still trying to justify his actions to her? I sigh in frustration as I walked over to the closet, why was Damon still apologising to her, he explained this all already.
"I understand why you did what you did, Klaus was fooled, and Bonnie's alive." She spoke to him calmly now, all I wanted was for her to leave I couldn't stand the sight of her right now.
"Here's to duplicity." I couldn't understand how Damon kept calm with her after everything.
"But let's get one thing straight, Damon. Bonnie will not die for us, I will not let that happen." So what magical plan did Elena have up her sleeve? Bonnie was our only hope, I'm not going to be taken away by Klaus just because Elena grown a conscience.
"We need to kill Klaus, Elena. Real Klaus. Who will probably be coming to pay you and Siena a visit soon now that he knows that Bonnie is dead she's the only one who can do it" Elena looked over at me a little weary, she couldn't change the plan not now, if she does that then everything we have been fighting for would meant nothing.
"We'll find another way." She seem certain about this other way, I didn't share her confidents about that, like another solution was going to be so simple.
"I hope so." Elena glanced over to me again, all I could do was glare back at her, I didn't want to be around her right now.
"Look, I shouldn't have hit you." Elena knows how to apologies, let's throw a parade. Damon gets up from the bed he looks over at me before looking at Elena who was about to leave the room.
"Let me be clear about something. If it comes down to the woman I love, and the witch again, I will gladly let Bonnie die. I will always choose Siena." She didn't say anything for a moment, what could she say? In the end everyone looking out for their own, Damon just told her what all this meant, Stefan would do the same for Elena.
"Siena can we talk please." There was nothing else to be said between us, there isn't anything that Elena could say to me that will make me change the way I feel about her.
"There nothing to talk about. So you can leave." There was sadness in her face as she walked away, right now I didn't care if her feelings have been hurt, the truth hurts, and Elena had been living in a bubble of protection for far too long.
"How long are you going to stay mad at her?" I looked at him with a frown; he really wanted me to just simply forgive and forget, that not going to happen.
"I don't know." That's all I could say to him, I couldn't answer that question, because the way I felt right now my anger towards Elena is endless. Damon pulled me closer to him I laid my head on his chest he began to stoke my hair.
"You know the real Klaus is going to make an appearance now, I just don't want you and Elena on these bad terms." I'm sick of being the forgiving one, I've forgiven too many people for their actions since being here.
"Damon, I wonder sometime why I'm so quick to forgive someone just because I don't want to lose them, most of the time they don't deserve my forgiveness." I didn't like argument, I hated falling out with people especially the ones closest to me, but I've got to the point now where enough is enough.
"What are you trying to say you're mad at me still?" Why was he turning this around to him? This wasn't about me and him this was about Elena. She's meant to be my sister, that comes before friends, boyfriends, we were bonded by blood, to be made a fool of by her cut deeper than any other betrayal.
"No Damon I'm not mad at you. I'm just don't like hypocrites, sorry to disappoint you, but I can't be as forgiving to Elena at the moment. Maybe in time I will, maybe I won't. I don't need reminding that Klaus is coming, all I wanna do right now is forget all that and do is this." I stretched up and kissed him wrapping my arms around him and he responded straight away pulled me closer to him I felt him smile through the kisses. Damon Salvatore had defiantly stole my heart. You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only choice you have! That all I can do now. Klaus was coming I didn't know what he looked like but I had to be prepared.
