Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Some time passed by and it was closing in on Christmas. I didn`t feel very jolly. Jeremy moved out to the lake house so he could control his urge to kill Elena and I still haven`t told Klaus about the hybrids not being sired by him anymore. It`s almost been a month. The worst part is, Klaus doesn`t seem to notice me hiding something.
When I woke up this morning, I knew which day it was. "The winter wonderland charity event." Carol Lockwood asked me if I could help during the event. I couldn`t say no. I walked downstairs and bumped into Stefan.
"Hey. What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I`m here to talk to your boyfriend again." We walked together to the living room where Klaus was finishing his painting.
"It looks like a giant snowflake." Stefan said aloud.
"I like to think of it as an expression of post-modernism. It`s my donation to the winter wonderland charity." Sometimes Klaus really showed his good side to other to see. Adrian came in and I froze. I knew he wasn`t sired anymore and he was one of them who kidnapped me.
"You said it was urgent?" Adrian seem careless.
"Yes. I want you to take this and deliver it to the Mystic Grill immediately."
Adrian was trying to test the limits.
"You want me to be a delivery-guy?"
"What I want is for you to do whatever I say, without the attitude."
Adrian picked up the painting and walked out of the room.
"Be careful with that. It`s still wet." God, sometimes he really can be a pain in the ass.
"Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves you know." Stefan told him. I couldn`t help but laugh.
"What`s the point of having hybrids sired to me if I can`t maximize on the benefits of free labor?" I froze when he said that. I needed to get out of there. I was afraid he would start to notice my behavior.
"I`ll leave you two to your discussion. I`ll be at the town square, helping Carol Lockwood with the last touches for the event tonight. See you later." I gave Klaus a quick kiss before leaving them. It was nice to find something to occupy my mind for a while.
I was walking with some boxes and was about to put them under one of the tables, when I overheard a conversation between Tyler and Caroline.
"They want you to do what?" Caroline sounded worked up.
"Hayley found a witch strong enough to do the body-jump spell. You know the Klaus specialty." Tyler explained. What was going on? I didn`t dare move. They didn`t know I was here.
"So you`re gonna put him in someone else`s body and then what?"
"We increase the body with concrete and bury it." No! They were getting rid of Klaus!
"Why don`t desiccate him like Bonnie did?"
"Because by doing that spell, you have to stop a human heart. I was a little short of volunteers."
"Who`s dumb enough to volunteer their body to be a Klaus` sublet?"
"Don`t freak out." Tyler started.
"Freak out? Freak out! I`m about to pop a vein. You volunteered?"
"It`s not forever. Just long enough for the hybrids to get away from here."
"Well I can think of a better way for us to spend our senior year than you being stuck in cement!" Caroline was furious.
"All of this started with me. It has to end with me. I need your support." That was all I heard. They left after that. I had to talk to Klaus. Warn him about it.
"Amy!" Carol came towards me.
"It`s almost starting. You have to go change." She gave me my bag and I change in the bathroom at the Grill. It was a simple black dress. The same I used in John`s funeral. When I got back outside, I saw Klaus standing by his painting talking to Caroline. I had to get him alone. Caroline left him so I went over to him.
"Don`t you look stunning, love?" Klaus said to me and put his arm around my waist.
"Thank you. You don`t look so bad yourself. I really like your painting." I told him and I meant it.
"Thank you. Glad you like it." I could see it in his eyes that he knew something was up.
"Is there something wrong, Love?"
"I need to talk to you about something." I led him out back in the alley behind the Grill.
"I have a bad feeling about tonight. It feels like something is going to go wrong. That something are going to happen to you." I told him honestly.
"Don`t be afraid love. Everything`s fine. Just relax and have a good time." He kissed me.
"Just promise me you`ll be careful."
"I promise little wolf." We went back inside again Klaus left me to go talk to other people so I stayed at the Grill to help there.
Time flew by and I really had to go to the bathroom. I was still in the stall when Caroline, Tyler and Hayley came through the door. I yanked my feet off the floor so they wouldn`t know I was there.
"How did you even get out?" Tyler asked. Out? out from where?
"I got out because even your stupid hybrid friends thinks that all of this is crazy."
"I`m done fighting with you Caroline."
"Oh, we are doing plenty of fighting. And it stops the minute you put Klaus in someone else`s body."
"I told you, I don`t have another body."
"Well but I do!" Caroline snapped.
"What? Who?" Hayley asked rather shocked.
"Klaus` sister Rebekah. She`s got a dagger in her. Stefan have been hiding her in the tunnels. We dump Klaus` body into her body bury her. We just killed two originals with one stone."
What was going on? They are going to kill my boyfriend and my best friend.
"It`s too late to change the plan." Hayley sounded desperate. I wondered why.
"Call Bonnie. Make sure it will work."
"Tyler!"
"It`s a brilliant plan, Hayley. Caroline, you`re a genius. I love you!"
"I love you, even when I hate you." Caroline told her boyfriend.
"I`ve got to go and find my mom." I could hear Tyler leaving the room, only leaving Caroline and Hayley behind. Caroline took out her phone to call Bonnie.
"Bonnie, I need you to think fast! I know that the daggers don`t work on Klaus. What if we put his essence into Rebekah? It will work right?"
"Slow down. What`s happening?"
"Just come on Bonnie! Will it work?"
"Yeah, I don`t see why not."
"Ah! Bonnie Bennet, I love you!"
"Do you need my help? I can leave Elena here with Jeremy."
"Elena? She`s there too?"
"Yeah, she came with Damon. He`s being slightly less horrible than he used to."
"You know what? I can`t deal with this right now."
Caroline hung up the phone and turned to Hayley.
"She said it would work."
"I gathered. Congratulations." Hayley said sarcastically.
"Thanks." Caroline headed for the door but Hayley snapped her neck before she could open it.
"My pleasure." What a bitch! I wanted to go after her but when it was safe for me to go outside, she`s already gone. I didn`t know where she went. This was a disaster.
3-person p.o.v
Hayley stood outside telling Klaus something. It looked like a heated conversation and she looked pissed as she walked away from him.
Stefan walked up to him, sensing Klaus being in a bad mood.
"She doesn`t like me much. Where have you been all day?" He asked.
"Around."
"I`m not interested in you being vague Stefan. You`ve been dodging, Caroline`s been lovely. Which I`ve come to recognize as a distraction. Now. Do you have something to share with me or should I compel it out of you?"
"I broke into your safe to look for the sword."
"Why"
"Because I don`t trust you." Klaus looked a little betrayed.
"I showed you the sword. I explained it`s value. I`ve been on your side this entire time. What do you want from me? A secret brotherhood handshake?"
"I found the letters. You`ve had a few pen pals over the centuries."
"Well. Keeping my victim`s letter is not that different from writing them on a wall? Like you did, Ripper."
Klaus looked up and saw Adrian standing there waiting for him. Klaus walked towards him but stopped and turned around.
"Loneliness, Stefan. That`s why you and I memorialize the dead. The briefest moments before we kill while we literally holds their lives in our hands and then we rip it away. And we`re left with nothing. So gathering other peoples letters or writing their names on a wall it`s a reminder that in the end, we`re left utterly alone." Klaus walked away. Only to be stopped by Amy.
"Klaus, I really need to talk to you." She told him. She looked worked up.
"Not right now sweetheart. There`s something I have to fix. I`ll talk to you later." Klaus gave her a kiss on the forehead before leaving her behind.
Amy`s p.o.v
I tried to talk to Nik but he wouldn`t listen to me. I wanted to tell him everything. He was so angry and I couldn`t do anything to stop it.
I bumped into Tyler whilst he was trying to call his mom.
"I know everything." I told him.
"I was in the bathroom when you talked to Caroline and Hayley." Tyler did not know what to say. Then Hayley approached us.
"What are you doing here? You`re supposed to take the witch to the cellar." Tyler told Hayley.
"There is no witch, Tyler. I made it up."
"What?" Oh, I hated this bitch even more.
"I never intended to put Klaus down. I needed him for the sacrifice."
"The what?" I asked furious.
"I don`t know how to explain it but I found someone who could help me figure out what happened to my family."
"What are you talking about? What kind of deal?" Tyler asked.
"There needed to be 12 for the sacrifice Tyler."
"12 what?"
"I`m sorry." She didn`t look sorry at all.
"Hayley what did you do?" She didn`t answer we knew very well what she was up too. Tyler left in terror and I stayed behind. My rage was boiling.
"You selfish little bitch!" I told her.
"Did you not think about anybody else but yourself?" I was shaking with anger.
"I`m sorry." She repeated. I gave her a vicious smile.
"Well. I think I speak for everyone when I say that the apology is not accepted." With that, I put my weight on it and punched her square in the face, hitting her so hard she fell to the ground.
"You stay away from my family and friends. I never want to see you again. And if I do, your neck is the next one to be broken."
I walked away from her.
I followed Tyler through the woods. When I reached the cellar, it was awful. Dead hybrids everywhere. Klaus did this and in one way I didn`t blame him.
"This is my entire fault." Tyler said and started to sob. All I could do was to hold him and support him. He got out of my grip and ran away from me.
I had to find Nik. He was angry now and vengeful. I didn`t know what he would be capable of. I got back to town square and everything was quiet. Everyone had gone home. Or so I thought.
I could see Nik standing by the fountain talking to someone. Carol Lockwood. I was about to approach them, when suddenly Klaus pushed her head under water. I couldn`t get there fast enough. Carol Lockwood was dead.
"What the hell are you doing?" I screamed at him. Klaus turned around to look at me. He was covered in blood.
"Why did you kill her?" I was crying. Carol had always been like an aunt to me. At least before, I left Mystic Falls.
"An eye for an eye, sweetheart. I`m just hitting Tyler where it hurts the most."
"Did you even think about me? Carol meant something to me." Klaus looked at me with sad eyes.
"I was only getting back at Tyler because of what he did, Love." I got up and looked at him.
"Well then. Maybe you should punish me too." I told him whilst crying.
"What are you talking about?"
"I knew. I have known about the unsired hybrids for a month now and didn`t tell you. I didn`t know how to without you hurting or killing my friend Tyler. I wanted to tell you so many times but I was afraid. So go ahead, kill me. Kill me like you killed her."
Klaus only looked at me. He couldn`t even say anything.
"I tried talking to you earlier but you didn`t listen. I can`t do it like this anymore, Klaus. I`m sorry." Klaus still stood there without saying anything. But I could see the anger in his eyes. Betrayal.
I started to walk away from him but stopped.
"Oh, and by the way?" I took out a gift I`ve had for weeks. I wanted him to have it for Christmas. It was a necklace with a hummingbird charm.
"Merry Christmas." I told him handing him the gift before leaving him there.
I hurried back to the mansion and packed my bag. I needed to get out of there for a while.
I got into my car and started driving. When I reached my destination, it was late. I walked up to the front door at the same time as someone opened it from the inside.
"Amy? What are you doing here so late?"
"Hey. Can I stay here with you? I really needed to get away."
"Of course. Come on in."
I walked inside and instantly felt strong comfortable arms around me. I started to cry.
"It`s ok, Amy. Everything will be just fine."
For what seemed like an eternity, I cried on my brother`s shoulder.
I actually started to cry whilst writing this. I didn`t expect this outcome at all. I hope you guys don`t hate me for it. But don`t worry. It`s not the end for Klamy!
Until next time!
