Blood.

Pain.

Screaming.

Elena couldn't think anymore. Her mind simply couldn't form any thoughts, not anything decipherable anyway. She didn't even notice the tears running down her cheek as she ran next to her lover and knelt down next to him. She didn't even notice the pain in her back and big tummy as she heard his soft whimpers.

"Oh God, Damon, no!" She cried, seeing his eyes closed, gasping for breath.

"Elena…maybe it's better t-this w-way," He choked out the words. "You'll be okay. You'll be s-safe…"

"How will it be better this way? I can't survive without you, Damon. Don't you dare die on me, okay? Don't you dare!" Elena cried as she caressed his cheek. "There has to be something I can do. This is all my fault, I'm so sorry…"

She looked at the broken pieces of the stake, the stake that was going to take his life away. The bits that were puncturing Damon's heart, making him die slowly and painfully.

"I have to get them out, Damon, you have to let me…" She lay knelled beside him as her fingers failed but urgently and desperately tried to grasp the bits lodged in his chest. She tried once, twice, earning a wince and a painful moan from Damon.

"Elena, you can't," He said, "It's dangerous either way. I can feel them scraping against my heart. I'll be gone soon." That was the weird thing about death, when it was near you accepted it regardless of what you were leaving behind; of who you were leaving behind. The pain Damon felt right now was worst than any other, he just wanted it to end. He was in too much agony to actually realize what he would be leaving behind and how devastated Elena would be.

"No, Damon, don't say that!" Elena cried as she dug her fingers in his flesh again, taking out the bits out, earning a painful cry from Damon. There were too many and it was putting Damon in too much pain, there was no way she would be able to remove each and every splinter that was lodged in and around his heart without possibly doing some serious damage. As Elena realized this, she scooted away from him on her knees, moving back only the slightest. She curled into a ball and cried. She cried for her broken heart, she cried for Damon, she cried for herself but most of all she cried for their baby. Damon risked everything to save Elena's life-their life, more times than once too.

"My angel," He reached out to stroke her cheek as black and dots filled his vision. He was holding on as best as he could but it was beginning to feel useless, the blackness continued to surround him, the world and Elena kept getting blurrier and blurrier and her voice seemed more distant with each new spoken word. "I love you. Just promise me that you'll take care of our baby for me, okay?"

"No! I'm not going to promise you anything, because you're going to live!" Elena screamed as reality set in once more. Damon was dying. Her Damon, her love. She sniffed and rubbed her nose quickly before placing herself as close to him again as possible, trying one more time to remove his grim reaper. Bit by bit, she plucked the splinters from his chest and the pile next to her grew a little more and more but it seemed as if she were getting nowhere. There were always more bits lodged deeper inside his chest, ones that made him go in and out of consciousness with every touch. His death was torturing but what she was doing just added to it. She stopped when once again, noticing how much pain she was truly causing him. She stopped and moved her hands to his face, cupping it with her trembling hands.

"Shh," He hushed her, and kissed her hands gently. "Tell me this, Elena," He continued slowly, his eyebrows furrowing from the pain. "Do you believe in God?"

What?

"What are you talking about, D-Damon?" Why was he asking her about this now? This was the last thing she thought would be brought up in a time like this.

"Just answer me, Elena, please," Damon urged her.

"Yes," She answered without hesitation.

"If you're right, how will he punish me?" Damon asked her, wondering. Wondering what would happen once his time on this earth ended. All the good he did in his life would never be able to make up for the bad, he was sure of that.

"God doesn't punish. God forgives."

"I don't deserve it. But I do hope for it," He said as he flinched when Elena took out another wooden bit.

"Damon, you are not a bad person," Elena continued, "You changed. I wouldn't have fallen in love with you if you didn't. If you didn't, I wouldn't even be carrying this child inside me right now, so don't you dare give up, Damon. Don't you dare give up on us."

Then, Elena didn't know what came over her. All she knew was that she was feeding him blood from her wrists, and praying that her blood-and their baby's-would actually work.

At that moment, Stephanie entered along with Bonnie.

"Oh God!" Stephanie gasped seeing all the blood, but it was Klaus's moving corpse that caught her eye.

"The stake brought him down for a few minutes," Elena gasped out, "He's not dead."

At the same time, Damon was still feeding on her, the blood healing all his wounds. He backed away from her and in a few quick movements Elena had the final remaining stakes out of his body and those wounds closed in. Her blood had healed him, leaving only the traces of blood which were barely visible.

"How are you feeling?" She asked him with a shaky voice. It seemed too good to be true. A moment ago he was on his death bed, with dying wishes. She felt hopeless and for a few minutes, she wanted to die. She would want to die the moment that his eyes closed and his life ended. The baby would have willed her to fight, but she wouldn't have wanted to. That was almost the reality. She silently thanked herself for her quick thinking.

"The pain's gone," Damon choked out. "How…How can it be?" Damon was just as stunned as her. One minute he was going in and out of consciousness, slipping away from Elena and his child and the next he felt brand new, rejuvenated and very alive.

"I guess I'm not ready to let you go yet," Elena replied, it was now her time to do that smirk before capturing his lips with hers.


"This device," Alaric Saltzman held out the device in his hands, "Is similar to the one that vampires were captured with a few weeks ago. This device can detect any vampire within a country's density. My dear gentlemen, we have to end this," Alaric pointed at the stakes packed in each bag. "All vampires within that specific radius will be put into a kind of brain aneurysm for at least five hours. Agonizing pain. I don't want regrets or second thoughts…Stake the vampire in the heart and set the corpse on fire. I want to bring them all to an end. We will worry no more, this ends tonight. "

He turned to a man in his twenties. "Are you ready for this, no regrets and second thoughts?"

"More than ready."

"If any of you have second thoughts while performing the task, remember that these vampires made your families slaves and made you live in poverty and pain," Alaric said through clutched teeth. He shot a look at Jeremy, who of course, had been through a lot because of his sister's abduction by vampires.

He nodded his head.

"The device will be activated in ten minutes."


Klaus's body was returning to a normal colour. Damon and Elena rose up from where they were and Damon stood protectively in front of Elena, despite the little bit of pain that he was still feeling. However, Stephanie and Bonnie came prepared.

Together, they started to chant in Latin. Klaus stared at them wide eyed as pain coursed in his veins, and he immediately started to twitch on the floor, gritting his teeth. His eyes begged them for mercy, but they weren't going to show it-Not after everything that he did to them.

And then, another scream escaped Klaus's mouth when he felt throbbing pain in his head.

"The device," He cried out, "Stop it, I swear to God I'll rip you apart-"

The device was affecting him. Of course it was, he thought, the witches were going to juju him to death. No vampire had a chance against two witches-Especially if they shared a mutual aim in bringing an end to someone.

"Spiritum, est morte vampir, adistm, spiritum…" Bonnie chanted, her eyes fixed on Klaus's body. The latter gasped when he felt his body burning like he had just been exposed to the sun.

Their chanting grew faster when they saw his body burning, his legs turning to ashes. They started vanishing right before all of their eyes' starting with the tips of his toes and slowly disappearing bit by bit until nearly his entire legs had ceased to exist, nothing than a mere pile of ash.

Elena noticed blood running down Bonnie's nose and she instantly panicked, worried about her best friend's safety. Apparently, Stephanie noticed it too because she stopped her magic and turned to Bonnie. Elena's friend seemed in some kind of trance where the only thing that mattered was killing Klaus.

"Bonnie, you have to stop!" Stephanie shook her harshly after the third time of calling her name.

"No! Can't you see? We can kill him!" Bonnie growled, pushing Stephanie away from her.

"You're going to kill yourself! Stop!" Elena called out, and then Bonnie finally stopped, blood pouring down her neck and collarbone, her face white as a sheet.

"Do you think that this is strong enough to kill me?" Klaus spat venomously despite the pain. "Pathetic, weak creatures…"

Bonnie was about to move forward and Klaus laughed. "Go on, kill me. But let me tell you something, sweetheart, at this rate, if I die you die too..." he smirked, knowing that he was right. "I have to say you're stronger than I imagined. But not that strong, hence the reason I'm still here."

He then turned to Damon. "Do you really think that you'll get rid of me that easily? I will have that child, Damon. I can damn guarantee you that."

"You won't destroy any more lives!" Bonnie spat out and without warning, she shoved Klaus in the wall, a few bones breaking in the process.

"Is this how you are planning to kill me?" He continued to taunt her.

"Bonnie, stop, he wants you to do this!" Elena cried, stepping in front of her friend. "He wants you to get killed, he wants you to do this!"

"She's right," Klaus blurred in front of Bonnie and grabbed Elena by her hair. He arched her neck to the right so violently that she thought her neck was going to snap. "Damon, get the witches out or I'm going to eat this girl here," He spat evilly. "Go on, Bonnie. Try to kill me."

"He won't do it," Elena said calmly, "He needs me."

"I do not need anyone," Klaus shrieked, and without warning, he sank his fangs into Elena's neck.

She didn't have time to process it. Damon had Klaus by the neck before she could blink. Stephanie and Bonnie were on both sides, both desperately chanting the spell again.

Elena felt suddenly dizzy with the rapid movement and suddenly everything started to spin around her. Black and white dots filled her vision.

And then, to her horror, she felt liquid running down her legs. She slowly glanced down, expecting the worst but was faced with something that picked the worst possible time to happen. The liquid was clear, and the pain was starting.

Her water had broken.
