In a clearing near a lake…

After Julianna came to the boarding-house to take Elena away with her, they arrived and stopped in a forest near the clearing before Julianna let go of Elena (who swayed unsteadily on her feet before she balanced herself) then they start walking until they got out of the forest into a clearing and Elena saw a woman that she had never see before lying on the ground with a small vial of blood next to her.

"Who's that?" asked Elena.

"The human that's chosen by Klaus to be the sacrificial vampire for the ritual tonight, Elena Gilbert. Originally, your aunt Jenna was supposed to be the sacrificial vampire because of Damon Salvatore meddling but your twin brother, Asriel Gilbert managed to convinced Klaus to spared Jenna and not turning her into a vampire. That's why Klaus told me to get and turned a different person into a vampire, preferably someone who's a criminal. You should be grateful to Asriel for saving your aunt from being a sacrificial vampire." said Julianna without looking at Elena.

"Ash did? Thank you for convincing Klaus in sparing Aunt Jenna's life, Ash." thought Elena in joy and relief in her mind at Asriel convincing Klaus to spared Jenna.

"Maddox, won't you be a dear and cast a spell to prevent these two from escaping?" said Julianna as she glance at Maddox.

"Of course." said Maddox as he nodded to Julianna before he raised his hand to conjure up two rings of fire around Elena and the still unconscious woman before the woman opened her eyes, gasped and sat up from the ground.

"Good job, Maddox. Now if you all will excuse me, I'll be going to get the werewolf girl here now." said Julianna before she turned and speed away to get Jules.

Soon after she left, Maddox then use his magic to forced the woman to drink the vial of blood to complete her transition into a vampire before he, the new vampire and Elena heard a woman screaming in pain and agony then watch as Julianna came back while holding Jules in her right arm before she dump her on the ground near Elena and the vampire.

"What's happening to me?" groaned Jules as she hold her stomach with both of her arms with a pain/agony look on her face.

"To answer your question, Maddox here casts a spell to slow down your transformation, causing your inner wolf trying to tear itself free inside you." said Julianna as Maddox raised his hand to conjure a third ring of fire around Jules. "And now all three of you are ready to be sacrificed for my dear brother, you three should be grateful about it." added Julianna smugly to Elena, Jules and the newly turned vampire woman.

"Hey you, Maddox, is it?" said Elena as she glance at Maddox while ignoring Julianna. "Why are you listening and doing this for them? I thought warlords and witches were supposed to maintain the balance of nature. Isn't it your duty to make sure and prevent the curse on Klaus to be broken?" added Elena pleadingly to Maddox.

"Why am I helping them, you ask? Simple, because they saved my life quite a few times and I'm grateful for them. That's why I made up my mind to stay with them and used my magic to help them, no matter how wrong it is." said Maddox coolly to Elena.

"You heard him, Elena. He choose to follow and be with us and that's why you trying to convince him to go back to being a servant of nature once again won't work." said Julianna.

"Good for me to know that my sister and Maddox are still loyal to me." said Klaus as he suddenly appear from behind them before he walked forward and stand next to Julianna (who smiled at him), which make Elena, Jules and the vampire woman shiver in worry and fear at him.

"Hello, my lovelies, are we ready?" asked Klaus as he glance smugly at the 3 of them.

In the boardinghouse…..

After both Asriel and Katherine saw the bite mark on Damon's arm and knew that he's on a time limit, Damon then took advantage of Katherine being distracted to snap her neck to put her out of commission, grab and bring Asriel with him out and away from Alaric's apartment toward and arrived in front of the boardinghouse.

"There, I've finally got you out of that place, be grateful, Ashy boy." said Damon bluntly to Asriel without looking as he opened the door and went in.

"Yeah sure, thanks a lot, you prick." said Asriel sarcastically to Damon as he went in as well and closed the door behind him. But soon after he closed the door, both he and Damon heard someone knocking on it from outside.

"Ugh, go ask and see who is it that's knocking on the door right now, Ashy boy." Damon told Asriel before he winced and stagger a little then he glance down at his arm and saw the bite mark on his arm festering even more. "Woah, it sure spread fast." thought Damon grimly in his mind about the bite mark on his arm while Asriel opened the door to reveal John standing outside and about to knock again.

"Dad?" said Asriel.

"Ash." said John.

"Great, it's you again, John Gilbert. I was just thinking about having a bite to eat out of you." said Damon sarcastically at John (who ignored Damon).

"Where and what were you and Elena doing that you two haven't return my calls for the past few days, Ash? And where's Elena?" said John concernly to Asriel.

"Dad, the reason why I'm unable to return your calls is because I've been held captive by Klaus, Julianna and their warlock in Alaric's apartment while Elena, I've no idea on where and how she is." said Asriel as he shook his head a little.

"Oh my god. I didn't know that… Still, I'm glad that you're alright, Ash." said John before he pull Asriel in for a reassuring hug.

"Well you're a day late and a daughter short, John." said Damon.

"What are you talking about?" demanded John as he and Asriel pull back and glance at Damon.

"I heard from Stefan that both Klaus and Julianna had her and the two vampire and werewolf as their back-up sacrifices, which will happen tonight." said Damon.

"They have my sister?" said Asriel in disbelief at Damon.

"How could you let this happen, Damon. You were supposed to keep her safe, wasn't that the total sums of your plan to keep her safe." snapped John in anger and disappointment at Damon.

"She is safe, I fed her my blood." said Damon.

"You did what?" said John in shock at what Damon did to Elena.

"You fed her your blood? So that when she die she'll come back as the thing my father hate the most in the world!? How could you!" snarled Asriel in shock and anger at Damon.

"So what if I did, you two? It's not like anyone cares what you and Ashy boy think." said Damon bluntly to both Asriel and John and as he turned around and about to leave, John charge toward him while raising and clenching his hand into a fist in preparation to punch him but Damon saw it coming, grab and slam John hard against the wall.

"Dad! Damn you, Damon!" yell Asriel concernly to John then angrily to Damon as he run past Damon toward John to help him.

"You do not want to mess with me right now." said Damon warningly to John.

"You ruined her life, you know that, right?" said John as he and Asriel turned around to glared at Damon.

"I know John, I took away her choices and destroy her future. Trust me, I get it." said Damon as he turned and walked into the living room while both Asriel and John continue to glared at him.

Back in the clearing…

Jules continue to yell out in pain and agony while holding her belly tightly with her arms, Elena glance sadly/pitifully at her, the vampire woman turned to glance in silence at the lake while both Klaus and Julianna were standing in front of short stone pillar with a huge wooden bowl with water in it on the stone pillar and with Maddox standing on the other side of it.

"Do you have the moonstone?" asked Maddox.

"I've it right here." replied Klaus as he nodded and take the moonstone out of his pocket. "My sister and I spent the last five hundred years searching for this." added Klaus."And I'd would hate to part with it." added Klaus as he hand the moonstone over to Maddox, who take it from him then glance up at the moon above them.

"The moon has just passed it's apex. Do you remember everything you need to do?" said Maddox.

"Of course he remember, Maddox. He's been waiting for this moment to come." said Julianna before she and Klaus watch as Maddox drop the stone into the wooden bowl, which break apart, burst into flames and Maddox began chanting and Klaus turned around and walked toward the still screaming Jules.

"Everything I did, I was just trying to help Tyler." Jules stop screaming as she glance, groaned and tell Elena about it.

"Then that means you're Jules, right?" said Elena.

"Yeah, that's right. Because I didn't want him to be alone." groaned Jules.

"I'll tell him you said that, Jules." said Elena as she nodded to Jules, who nodded back.

"Shall we, little she-wolf?" said Klaus smugly to Jules as the ring of fire around her slowly disappear at the same time the pain in her body disappear as well. Jules eyes then turned dark yellow before she galred and growled at Klaus and charge toward him.

But Klaus caught Jules easily by her neck, slammed her onto the ground before he plunge his hand into her chest, grab hold and ripped her heart out of it, which make her let out a loud and final gasp of pain before she closed her eyes and died. Both Elena and the vampire woman gasped and widened their eyes in horror and fear at seeing Klaus killed Jules without mercy and hesitation while Julianna smiled in joy at him.

"Two down, two more to go." thought Julianna happily in her mind.
