So, here it is, last chapter. Thank you everyone for taking a time to read my story! It had been a lot of fun to write. And thank you for your reviews. I'm planning to write a sequel.

I sense there's something in the wind
That feels like tragedy's at hand
And though I'd like to stand by him
Can't shake this feeling that I have
The worst is just around the bend

And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be

Sally's Song – Nightmare before Christmas

Chapter 26

Klaus had just heard the news. Doppelganger had emerged in some armpit of civilization called Mystic Falls. Finally, after all these centuries. He was more than excited.

"Klaus?" Starlit said.

Klaus lifted her up and kissed her.

"Perfect timing, love. Today we are going to celebrate!"

"Really? What's the occasion?" Starlit asked.

"I'm about to achieve the most important thing in my life."

"You mean breaking the curse?" Starlit said calmly.

Klaus was surprised.

"Who told you about that?" he asked trying to hide his annoyance.

"No one, I just happen to heard about it. And about the sacrifice."

"What?"

Now Klaus was really annoyed. He didn't want Starlit to know about those little details.

"Look, sweetheart, I know what you must be thinking, but it's going to be just one human girl, one vampire and one werewolf. Then I can finally be my true self, not just vampire or werewolf, hybrid!"

Starlits eyes were full of sadness.

"Please… Don't go where I can't follow", she said.

"What are you talking about, love?"

"Many people will suffer if you do this", Starlit said quietly.

Klaus was about to lose his temper.

"What difference does that make? They mean nothing to me! I only care about you and myself. That's more than enough for me."

Starlit didn't say anything.

"You don't understand, love. This is only thing I have wanted for centuries."

"Yes, I think I finally do understand", Starlit replied smiling.

Klaus kissed her forehead.

"Good. Now I have some arrangements to make but we'll talk more later."

"Sure", Starlit said and turned to the door.

"And could you tell Maddox and Caleb to come here. I need to talk with them."

"Sure."

"Thanks, love."

Klaus didn't look at Starlit when she walked out the door.

Next morning Starlit and Buttons were gone. Klaus was reading a short letter she had left over and over again.

My love

Please know that I will always love you, but I can't follow you where you are going. I truly hope that this path you chose will bring you happiness. Please don't try to find me.

Yours forever

Starlit

Klaus couldn't stop reading those words.

"Sir? It's almost full moon. What do you want to do?" Maddox asked.

Klaus raised his head.

"Call Greta. You two are coming with me to this Mystic Falls."

Maddox nodded and left the room.

"What about me?" Caleb asked.

"I have a special assignment for you. Find Starlit and keep her safe."

Caleb looked surprised.

"Safe? After she ran from you?"

Klaus gave him menacing look.

"Do not make me repeat myself."

"Alrighty. I'm on it."

Klaus looked at the letter one last time.

"When this is all over, I will find you my sweet Starlit…"
