~ I'm going to have two songs in this chapter. One is from an idea that SomebodyWhoCares gave me and the other is from watching an episode of Doctor Who... both songs fit :)

~ I did a little twist to this chapter, but the story will still end the way I planned it.

~ This chapter and the next chapter are going to be longer than normal because they are the last two chapters of the story (I can't believe it) and I want to fit almost everything in the chapters. I will try to get the ending scene of the episode with Damon and Katherine to begin the next chapter...
~ I have a person's POV in this chapter that I only ever attempted in my story 'Underneath It All', which I ended early last year because of a lack in reviews. Hopefully, you will like this person's POV (:

SomebodyWhoCares: I know, it's actually hard for me to believe that the story has actually gotten to the end I had planned and not ended because of the lack of reviews. I never listened to her music, so I searched her in spotify and looked at the lyrics to see if they would possibly fit. Some of the songs might end up being in some of my other stories because I actually like her music now, so thanks for sharing your idea.

ENJOY!


Jessica's POV


~Flashback~

I was coming home from school and as I walked through the front door, I saw Klaus pacing.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I tossed my backpack onto the floor. When our eyes connected, I saw relief flood through them.
"You're okay." He said before hugging me. It took me by surprise because I never saw him like that. "I was worried."
"What happened?" I asked as I hugged him back.
"There was an accident near your school." He said, not letting me go. "I was thinking of you the whole time."
"I"m right here Nik." I said. "I'm okay." He raised his head and started to kiss me. "Maybe you should think of me more often." I said with a small smile, which he returned before our lips touched again. In a second, he brought me in his arms and flashed up to his room. He almost tossed me on his bed before he started to kiss my neck.
"You are so beautiful." He whispered.
"You're not to bad yourself." I whispered back before forcing him to look me in the eyes. "I love you."
"I love you to." He said before he started to kiss my neck again.

~End Of Flashback~


I opened my eyes and noticed that Damon was laying next to me. He looked so peaceful like he always did in the morning. Instead of giving him a kiss or snuggling next to him, I slowly slid out of the bed. I was surprised that he didn't move as I went into his bathroom. It was better and bigger than the one in my room.

After a few minutes of letting the water run over me, I started to use some of Damon's shampoo. As I massaged it in my hair, I found myself singing part of a song.

'With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

It's getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly
It's taking over me

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air
And it's all around
Can you feel me now?'

I stopped singing when I felt Damon walk into the bathroom and step into the shower.
"You sound even better in my shower." He said before kissing me.
"Glad to see you're awake." I said with a small smile. "I guess this means shower sex?"
"That sounds like a great idea." He said with a small smile before picking up my legs and wrapping them around his back.


I got out of the shower first so Damon could shower on his own, even though it was tempting to stay. After I had convinced Damon to let me out, I went into my room and put on a blue tank top, a pair of jeans, and a pair black boots with buckles on the side. It was a while since I wore them, but they went with the outfit.
"Tonight is the full moon." I could hear Elijah say. "We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse." I walked into the library and saw Elijah standing in front of the room looking at Stefan and Elena.
"Elena said that the Sun and the Moon curse is fake?" Stefan asked Elijah. "That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus."
"Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline." Elijah explained to them. I already knew about it because Klaus had told me before he compelled me to forget everything. "The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting. But if he breaks it... he'll be a true hybrid." Elijah looked at me for a moment before Damon walked up behind Elijah.
"Then why are we letting him break the curse?" Damon asked, momentarily looked up at me. "We can kill him today." Damon looked at Elena. "With Bonnie."
"Damon..." Stefan said.
"No." Elena said to Damon. "Bonnie can't use that much power without dying." I looked from Damon to Elijah, who was looking at me. He was probably wondering if I was really going to go through with killing Klaus. There was a part of me that wanted their plan to fail because I wasn't sure if I wanted Klaus dead, but the other part of me just didn't want me to worry.
"I'll write her a great eulogy." Damon said, which made me roll my eyes.
"It's not an option, Damon." Elena said to Damon, who looked up at me as Stefan spoke up.

"All right, how do we break this curse?" Stefan asked Elijah.
"The ritual is pretty simple." I said, letting Stefan and Elena know I was in the room. I walked around the couch and stood next to Damon.
"Jessica is right." Elijah said as Damon put his arm on my shoulder. "The ingredients, so to speak, you already know."
"The moonstone, a witch..." I looked to Elijah to finish my sentence.
"The witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each." This was all stuff I knew, but they didn't know and I couldn't tell them specifics without hinting about my past with Klaus. I could stick to the basics because of what Katherine knew and could have told me.
"And where do I fit into it?" Elena asked Elijah.
"The final part of the ritual." Elijah said as he took a box from the bookshelf. "Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelganger... to the point of your death." I looked at Elena, who seemed to be getting more nervous.
"And that's where you come in." Elena said, which made me look at Elijah. He had a jar in his hand, but I didn't know what was in it.
"This is an elixir that I acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina." 'I remember Katherine telling me that Elijah liked her' I thought to myself. "It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation."
"So I'll be dead?" Elena asked.
"And then you won't." Elijah said to Elena, which made me look at him.
"That's your plan?" I asked with some disbelief. 'For going against his brother, it seems too simple' I thought.
"You're relying on a magical witch potion with no expiration date?" Damon asked Elena before "Those rings only work on humans." Elijah explained. "The doppelgänger's a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the ring won't work."
"I'll take those odds over your elixir." Damon said, clearly not trusting Elijah.
"What if it doesn't work?" I asked Elijah
"Then I guess I'll just be dead." I looked at Elena. 'How could she be okay with dying?' I asked myself. I could tell Damon looked at Stefan, who shrugged before Damon left the room.
"Do we know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this?" Elena asked. "Does he have a werewolf?"
"Katherine told me that Klaus has been waiting to break this curse for over a thousand years." I said, slightly lying. Klaus was the one to tell me it, but what they don't know won't hurt them. "My bet is that if he doesn't already have a werewolf, he will tonight."
"Jessica's right again." Elijah said. "I know my brother," I had to fight the urge to roll my eyes ", he'll make sure he has everything ready for tonight." Stefan looked from me to Elijah and then to Elena.
"I'm going to check on Damon." He said before walking out of the room.


After Stefan left, Elena had left to go to the bathroom. I was alone in the room with Elijah.
"Are you going to tell them?" He asked and I looked at him.
"Maybe." I honestly said to him. "If you guys manage to kill him, I'll tell them after."
"Do you have doubts?" Elijah asked and I knew he meant about them killing Klaus.
"I think that no matter what you guys do, he won't go down without a fight." I took a deep breath. "If I distract myself today, then if I do have doubts," 'And I do' I thought to myself ", then they won't control my actions." I said to Elijah just before Elena walked back into the room.
"You'd think he'd understand why I'm willing to do this." She said after she picked up the elixir in her hands.
"Why are you?" I asked.
"I'm the key to breaking the curse." Elena said to me before looking at Elijah. "Klaus is here because of me." 'He's also here for me' I thought. "If I don't stop him, then he's going to hurt people. It's that simple."
"You know, there's a possibility this elixir won't work." Elijah said to Elena. "I don't want to mislead you."
"I know the chance I'm taking."
"Are you sure?" I couldn't help but ask Elena. "You're going to risk your life just so Elijah can have a chance at revenge?"
"It's also to protect everyone I love." Elena said to me. "You would do the same for Damon." 'She's right there.' I thought. Even with my memories of Klaus, I think that would risk my life to protect Damon. 'You love them both, but Damon more.' A voice told me in my head.

"Get out!" I heard Jenna yell. I looked at Elena before we both started to went to see what was happening. As we got there, we saw Damon and Stefan looking at Jenna. I could feel Elijah behind me when I noticed that Alaric was standing in front of us. 'Is he still Klaus?' I couldn't help but ask myself.
"Jenna, put the cross-bow down, ok?" Alaric asked. "It's me." 'Definitely not Klaus' I thought.
"Stay away from me." Jenna said before Elena stood in front of me.
"What's going on?"
"It's me, Elena, I swear, ok? He let me go." Alaric said to Elena. "Klaus let me go."
"Prove it." I said as Damon stood closer to me, just in case it was Klaus.
"Ok, uh, first night you and I spent together, Jeremy walked in right when I was about to..." Alaric said to Jenna, who interrupted him.
"Okay, it's him." Jenna said as she put the crossbow down.
"Why did he let you go?" Stefan asked him.
"He wanted me to deliver a message." Alaric said. "The sacrifice happens tonight." I took a deep breath, which didn't go unnoticed by Damon. He gave me a kiss on my head.
"I'm gonna go to my room for a little bit." I whispered to him before walking up to my room.

When I got to my room, I just laid on my back and stared at the ceiling. Tonight they were going to attempt to kill Klaus. I had my doubts about their plan actually working because I knew first hand how powerful he is. Klaus wasn't the type to go down without a fight, even if he would be at his weakest when they are planning to strike. I couldn't help but let out a sigh before feeling my phone vibrate in my pocket. I took it out and noticed that Klaus texted me.
'Tonight you'll be mine again Jessica.'
I couldn't help but stare at the text. 'What if they kill him?' I asked myself. Then he wouldn't get me again. I couldn't help but slightly smile, even with my worry. Even after a year and all the things I've said, he still wants me. It made me feel bad about being with Damon, but I loved Damon. 'I could stay with Damon after Klaus is killed and not have to worry about it anymore' I couldn't help but think before slipping my phone back into my pocket. 'What am I going to do?' I asked myself before letting out a sigh and moving into a sitting position. I quickly took my phone back out and texted Damon.
'I'm going to the Grill. Meet you there?' I slid back into my pocket again before I got out of my bed. I made sure I had my phone, Ipod, and everything I wanted with me before speeding to the Grill.


I was sitting at the bar for a while before I could tell that Damon sat next to me.
"I'll have what she's having." He told the bartender.
"I guess you like bourbon then." I said, turning my head to look at him. He just gave me a small smile and kissed me on the lips.
"I screwed up." He said after the bartender gave him a glass.
"Yeah." Alaric said as he joined us, on the other side of Damon. "Yeah, you did."
"What did he do now?" I asked as I looked at Alaric. Out the corner of my eye, I noticed that Klaus had entered the Grill. "I'll be right back." I whispered to Damon before giving him a kiss on the cheek and getting off my stool. I walked towards the stage, even though the band wasn't there. It was too early for the Karaoke night, but I wanted to sing a song for Damon in front of Klaus and I had the perfect opportunity.

I took a deep breath before stepping on the stage and pulling out my Ipod. There was a song that I had written and made music for. I had taken some time and used Damon's laptop to make the music and I was able to put it onto my Ipod. I hooked up my Ipod, pressed play and quickly stood in front of the microphone. I could tell it was hooked up without even trying. Even if it wasn't, I knew everyone would be able to hear me.

'Love is simple
It's the simple things that make me smile
It's clear as crystal
I'm right where I should be,' I looked toward Damon and could tell that Klaus was by him, but I kept my eyes on Damon.
', You're one of a kind
I know it, you know it
It's alright love,' I looked back towards the tables, where a few people were sitting.

', Oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
Oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see
Oh I'm in love with all I see

There's a new moon
Shining on the sea
And in your eyes
I can see truth
Staring back at me
It shines so bright
I know it, you know it
And it's all right love

Oh oh this is everything I need,' I looked at Damon
', Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
Oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see,' I looked back at the few people that were at their tables.

', Oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
Oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see
Oh I'm in love with all I see'

I took a deep breath when I was done and unhooked my Ipod. Inside I was hoping that the song would show Klaus that I love Damon, but I knew that wouldn't make him give up on me. When I got back to Damon, I gave him a passionate kiss. We smiled at each other before I turned to Klaus.
"Any chance you stopped by just to say hi?" I asked with a fake small smile. He gave me a small entertained smile.
"I'm told your boyfriend and his brother fancy my doppelganger." I could feel Damon place his arm protectively around my waist as Klaus spoke. "Just thought I'd remind you to not do anything you'll regret." Klaus said as he looked behind me at Damon.
"Thanks for the advice." Damon said after a little laugh. I could tell by the laugh that Damon must have done something stupid already. "I don't suppose I could talk you into a postponement, by any chance, huh?"
"You are kidding?" Klaus asked him before looking at me. "He is kidding, right?"
"Do you think he's kidding?" I asked as I semi-leaned into Damon.
"I mean, come on, what's one month in the whole grand scheme of things?" Damon asked, with his arm still around me.
"Let me be clear... I have my vampire. I have my werewolf. I have almost everything I need." Klaus said and I knew he was referring to me. "The ritual will happen tonight. So if you want to live to see tomorrow, don't screw it up." As Klaus walked away our eyes connected for a moment. I couldn't help but try to see the humanity that I knew was in there, but I could barely see it. 'Is it something I did?' I couldn't help but think as before he walked out of the Grill.
"Are you okay?" Damon asked in a whisper and I nodded my head. He kissed me head before sitting on his stool. "That was fun."
"You're going to screw it up, aren't you?" I asked Damon.
"What makes you think that?" He asked, faking that he was hurt.
"Because you're Damon." I said with a small smile before he looked towards Alaric.
"You think if I took his werewolf out of the equation, she might... Get over the fact that I tried to turn her into a vampire?"
"You did what?" I asked in a whisper.
"I think it won't matter, because you'll be dead." Alaric said to Damon.
"But without the werewolf, he can't perform the ritual tonight, which means I would have bought her one month before the next full moon."
"But you'll be dead." I said to Damon. "I'm not going to let that happen to you." 'Elena was was right' I thought. When it came to the people we love, we would protect them. 'Then what about Klaus?' I couldn't help but ask myself before giving Damon a kiss. "No matter what happens tonight Damon, I love you." I said and he smiled before kissing me back.
"I love you to." He said with a small smile. "I want you to stay out of the way tonight. I don't want anything to happen to you." I gave him an understanding nod.
"Of course I'll stay out of it, but you'll have to watch out for yourself." He gave me a nod and kissed me on the cheek before I walked out of the Grill.

As I walked towards my car, I noticed that Klaus didn't go far. He was standing against a car, looking at me. I felt my phone vibrate.
'We have to talk. ~ Klaus' I looked up and saw him getting into his car. I knew that I should follow him. I looked back at the Grill and knew Damon was still inside. 'He won't know if I talk with Klaus' I couldn't help but think before I got into my car and followed Klaus.


After a while of following Klaus, he finally stopped in front of a house. We both got out of our cars, but I took my time getting out of mine.
"Let's talk inside." He said before holding out his hand, which I didn't take before we walked inside. "I thought it would be best if no one could hear us."
"You're not going to compel me again, are you?" I found myself asking, even though I knew the answer.
"Do you really think that of me?" He asked and I looked at him.
"No." I said, which made him smirk a little. "I know you don't like to share and you like to get what you want."
"If I remember correctly, you used to love that Jessie." The part of me that loved Klaus loved the way he said the nickname he gave me when I was human. 'You can't give in to him' A voice inside me said before Klaus took a step closer to me. "You used to love a lot of things about me." He said as he gently brushed a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Is that what you wanted to talk about?" I found myself asking as my eyes looked at his lips. "How much I loved you?"
"I wanted to talk about how much you still love me." He said in a whisper, which made me look up in his eyes. That's when I could see the humanity that I thought I saw earlier. I could feel my heart beat faster and Klaus must have noticed because he smirked. His eyes just stared into mine as he slowly leaned in and started to kiss me. When his lips touched mine, I could feel the walls that I built up against him start to melt away. 'I can't do this' I thought even though I didn't break away from him. 'What if they do kill him?' I couldn't help but ask myself as he slowly pulled away. When he did, I looked him in the eyes and found myself pulling his head towards mine, making out lips touch. 'This might be the last time I could do this' I thought. He sped and held me against a wall as he started to trail his lips down my neck. I closed my eyes, giving into the sensation of his lips on my skin. "It's been so long." He whispered before he kissed my lips. "But you're going to have to wait a bit longer sweetheart." He said before I felt a stinging sensation in my neck. I looked at Klaus with surprise and fear. "I'm sorry love, but I'm keeping you safe." He said before I could feel my self fade.


~Klaus's POV~

She looked at me with sadness in her eyes as she fell. I easily caught her in my arms and I couldn't help but look at her.
"Oh, Jessica." I said in a whisper as I picked her up so I could carry her back to my car. It was amazing how much of an effect she had on me, even after our last year apart. Jessica was the only person that could bring out my humanity, no matter how hard I tried to fight it. As I put her in my backseat, I couldn't help but wonder if she would ever forgive me. 'She always does' I looked at her with a small smile before driving away.


I carried Jessica in my arms as I walked up the stairs. She was still out cold from the vervain that I injected her with. It was the only way I could keep her safe and I would come back for her after I broke the dreadful curse I've had one me. I took a look at Jessica before opening the door, to see Katerina with a pot of coffee in her hand.
"What are you doing with her?" She asked.
"None of your business Katerina." I said without even looking as I carried Jessica to a room that was to the side. I carefully placed her onto the couch that I had Katerina move for me. 'She won't forgive you' I shook the thought out of my head. She had to forgive me, she just had to. I couldn't help but smile at her peaceful face as I brushed some hair behind her ear. 'Something's wrong' I slowly stood from Jessica's side, knowing that she wouldn't be waking anytime soon.


~General POV~

Klaus exited the room where he had put Jessica and looked around Alaric's loft.
"Everything ok?" Katherine asked as she took a sip from her cup of coffee.
"What have you been doing?" Klaus asked her.
"Making coffee." Katherine said. It wasn't a lie and it wasn't the complete truth. She knew if she wanted to stay alive that she couldn't mention that Damon had paid her a visit earlier. "Do you want some?" She asked before Klaus sped to her and held her by her throat.
"Tell me what you've been doing." He compelled Katherine, not completely knowing that she had vervain in her system.
"Making coffee." Katherine said before Klaus inspected her eyes.

He was alive for a thousand years and was never taken as a fool. He had let Katherine out of his grip, but decided to test her by making her stand in the sun without her bracelet. When he was satisfied, he told her she could stop and she rushed into a dark corner so she could heal.
"Guess I was wrong." Klaus said when Katherine looked up at him. He knew that she had been slipped vervain, but he was going to pretend he didn't. "All right, then." He took a few steps towards her. "I need you to do a few things for me." Katherine looked at him, trying to hide emotion from her face as he gave her the bracelet back. "I need you to make a call, but first you need to know that while I'm gone, you have to watch Jessica and make sure no harm comes to her. You can feed her some blood, but do not let her regain enough strength to leave the building. Do you understand?" Katherine just nodded her head, not wanting to have to stand in the sunlight without her bracelet again.


~ I literally had to make myself stop from adding anything more to the end of the chapter, lol I didn't originally plan to end it where I did, but I am happy with it regardless.
~ I actually enjoyed typing this chapter. Most chapters for this story I didn't feel good after finishing them, but this one (in my mine) is one of the best chapters of this story. It could just be that it's one of the ending chapters or because I liked typing the Klessica moment, but either way it's a good chapter :) What did you think about Klaus's POV? Did you like it or hate it? If I do a sequel, would you like to see it more often? I'd love to read your thoughts.

~ I think this is one of the longer chapters mainly because it's the semi-final chapter.
~ There is going to be a time jump from this chapter to the next. Because the next episode would be The Sun Also Rises (if I don't put the scene with Damon and Katherine at the beginning of the next chapter), which is just what happens the night and next morning of this episode, there wouldn't be much for me to type. I will answer any questions that you have about this chapter in the next one. As I Lay Dying, the last episode of season 2 and the last chapter for this story :O

~ I would like this story to reach 50 reviews before the last chapter (which is the next chapter). Do you think we can reach that?
~ So... there is something I was wondering. For most of you, you know I sort of have a sequel planned for this story. I don't want to type it right away, because I want to focus a little bit on some of my other stories. If enough people say they want it, I'll try to have a little sneak peak of what's going to happen in the sequel at the end of the next chapter.

~ The first song is Toxic by: Britney Spears and the second one is All I See by: Kate Voegele.

R&R 'till the next update
