Chapter XXV
General POV
Stefan felt as if his heart was being ripped from his chest as he watched Elena sit up with a look of pure fear in her eyes. "What's going?" She asked as her voice cracked and Stefan wanted nothing more than to go to her and comfort her.
"You my lovely, is going to give me what was denied me all those years ago." Klaus said as he looked at her briefly before glaring murderously at Katherine, who shrank back in fear at his gaze. "What were you denied?" I asked as Klaus snapped his gaze to me.
"You see unlike the other originals, I however was only half vampire. I'm a hybrid, a vampire/werewolf hybrid to be exact. A group of wretched witches; decided that I was too powerful, so they placed a curse of my werewolf side with use of a sacrifice. The sacrifice called for a moonstone that bonded the curse, the sacrificing of a vampire, a werewolf and the rarest creature of all a Petrova doppelganger." Klaus explained as Stefan felt his brows furrow in confusion.
"Petrova?" Stefan asked in confusion and Klaus rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Petrova was Katherine's real name before she changed it to Pierce. Elena is Katherine's descendant. Did you ever wonder why they looked alike? Katherine was the first doppelganger, but she escaped before I could perform the ritual." Klaus explained with a cold glare towards Katherine and Stefan's eyes widen in fear as started to make sense, Klaus was going to kill Elena!
"But you only need one vampire why is Stefan here?" Katherine said as she gathered every little bit of bravery in her. "Because Stefan is going to be part of the ritual. You'll get to see your precious love die before your own eyes." Klaus said with an evil smirk and Katherine felt her breath catch in her throat.
"Klaus! Kill me! Please." Katherine pleaded as she launched her self at the perimeter of her circle, before moving back in fear as the fire rose. "Oh I intended to…but you're going to suffer first. You made me wait five hundred years to break this curse. Your death will come at least halfway after." Klaus said and Katherine took on a look of pure terror as an African-American girl came walking out of the forest with a squirming blond woman.
"Ah Greta. Are we ready to begin?" Klaus asked joyfully and the witch nodded. "Wait!" Elena yelled bravely, but everyone could see the fear in her eyes. "What is it my lovely?" Klaus asked as he looked at her. "Can I go to Stefan? There are a few things I have to say to him before I die." Elena requested fear coating every word.
"Of course…Greta." Klaus said as he smiled at Elena then indicated to Greta. Great then lowered the edge of the circle by Stefan's and allowed Elena to walk into his circle before she placed a ring a fire back around them.
Elena ran into his arms and rested her headed against his shoulder as she shook in pure terror. "It's gonna be okay." Stefan reassured although he didn't believe his own words before Klaus moved to the squirming woman and tore out of heart, before taking it over to Great who was now chanting in Latin.
"Stefan." Elena whispered into his ear so only he could hear and Stefan rubbed her back soothingly, but in truth made her sick to her stomach. "Yes Elena." Stefan whispered back as he tensed as Klaus took up a stake and moved over to them.
"I have something to tell you." Elena whispered, but this time not in fear but a deadly calm voice that sent a shiver down Stefan's spine. "Wait! Before you say anything, I have to tell you. I always cared for you. I'm sorry we didn't get a chance to be together." Stefan whispered back as Klaus came to stop at the edge of the circle and Klaus smirked.
"I'm not… It's too bad Klaus is going to kill you. I wanted that honor. I wanted to kill you, just like I did Damon. My wolves tore him apart while I listened to his screams, his glorious screams…and sadly now I won't get to hear them, but I will hear Katherine's." Elena said with cruel smirk on her face, but removed it soon so Klaus wouldn't see as she moved away from Stefan as he stared at her incredulously.
"Yours? It was you? Zack was protecting you?" Stefan asked incredulously but Elena didn't grace him with a response as the fire circle lowered and Klaus speeded forward and stake Stefan clear through his heart.
"No!" Katherine yelled out in agony before Klaus moved back to Greta was a satisfied smile on his face. Soon Greta began to chant even more before Klaus moved back over to Elena and smiled at her. "Thank you." Klaus said before he moved behind her and brushed her hair from her neck and wrapped his arm around her waist before seeking his sharp teeth into her neck.
Klaus took a few draws before he pulled away suddenly and he started to cough the blood back up again, but this time it was black instead of blood red. "What's happening?" Greta asked as she stared at a coughing Klaus fearfully before Lee appeared and snapped her neck.
Bonnie and Sheila immediately appeared and began to chant as Mason, Tyler and the pack appeared not far behind them in wolf form. "No!" Klaus yelled as Elena's eyes became pitch white and intricate tattoos formed on visible skin along her hands and legs before them and her eyes began to glow.
Katherine watched in fear and astonishment as a bright ball of light formed in Elena's hand and Bonnie and Shelia's chanting got louder. Elena smiled evilly before she threw the ball of light at Klaus and it hit him straight through his heart.
Klaus dropped to his knees as he began to convulse and Bonnie and Shelia chanted louder before he began to flame. Katherine watched in amazement and happiness as Klaus began to burn away until there was nothing but ash, she was free…or as so she thought.
The fire circle had faded with Greta's death and as Katherine moved to speed away, Mason and Tyler lunged at her one biting her arm and the other leg, making her cry out in pain as she fell to her knees and the wolves created a circle around her, trapping her in.
"You didn't really think we were just going to let you go do you?" Elena asked, now back to normal with humor clear in her voice as Lee, Bonnie and Shelia came to stand on either side of her smiling triumphantly.
"What are you going to do to me?" Katherine asked as she glared at her doppelganger. "I'm going to kill you…just like I did Damon." Elena said as she smiled at her and Katherine felt rage build up inside of her and lunged at her, only for Luca to bite deep into her side and pull her back into the middle of the circle as him, along with Mason, Tyler and the rest of the pack growled at her.
"You killed him. He was mine." Katherine yelled in agony and Elena laughed at her. "And I would have killed Stefan too, if Klaus hadn't beaten me to it…but don't worry you'll be joining them in hell soon enough…boys." Elena said with a smile before Elena, Lee, Bonnie and Shelia moved away as the pack, Mason and Tyler closed in on her and they all smiled at Katherine died screaming before the forest was once again quite.
"Elena!" Tyler yelled as came over to her in human form, only wearing cut offs and Lee set the Katherine's remains on fire. Elena smiled as Tyler came to stop in front of her and pulled her in a passionate kiss.
"It would seem your plan worked." Tyler teased as they pulled apart. "Was there really any doubt?" Elena teased back with a smile as everyone, even the wolves chuckled and Elena pulled out of Tyler's embrace and faced her children before she spoke.
"MY CHILDERN. I AM SAFE. WE ARE SAFE. NO ENEMY SHALL EVER COME AGAINST YOU AND CAUSE YOU HARM AS LONG AS I AM YOUR QUEEN, THIS I SWEAR, I WILL PROTECT YOU WITH MY LIFE. I AM THE QUEEN OF THE SHADOWS. I AM YOUR QUEEN…YOUR PROETCTOR, MOTHER AND FRIEND. I WILL ALWAYS BE THERE." Elena said as she gazed at her children lovingly, before looking deep into Tyler's dark eyes and smiled at him, before he smiled back at her and pulled her into another passionate kiss, but this one longer than the last as the wolves howled in victory.
THE END.
