"Before we all walk through these doors lets all get on the same page shall we?" Klaus said to the group as he stared at the double door entrance of the high school. "I was the one who created your vampire bloodline therefore i am responsible for your lives and Tyler's life, Caroline's life and of course Abby Bennett's life."

"Or you are just lying to save your arse." Damon replied.

"I'm not lying, but go ahead...call my bluff, let the teacher kill me and you all will be dead soon thereafter." Klaus said smirking before taking a sip of Bonnie's blood from a small vile that connected her and the others for the desiccation spell to work once they had apprehended Ric.

He, Stefan and Damon proceeded to enter the school whilst Claire stayed outside with Bonnie and Jeremy. She didn't want her secret of being stronger than Klaus to be out yet.

"They have made contact." Bonnie said eight minutes later before kneeling down to the ground whilst placing her hands slightly above Jeremy's chest who was lying on the ground to begin the spell. Basically she needed to stop his heart thus stopping Ric's in the process and Jeremy wore the Gilbert ring which ensured that he would return back to life.

Bonnie began to chant whilst Claire observed and then she stopped.

"That didn't take long than expected.."

"The connection broke." Bonnie said cutting her off.

They then waited for a couple of minutes and when it exceeded fifteen Claire suddenly became worried.

"Something isn't right Bonnie...i will just go and check." Claire blurred away headed for the front entrance not awaiting for her response and stopped when she saw Damon and Stefan getting up from the cold floor.

"Klaus is gonna kill Elena." Claire looked behind her and saw a cold and detached Ric glaring at her.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan asked.

"He found out that her life is linked to you didn't he?" Claire said as she shook her head.

"Yeah well she announced it to him before i could kill him."

Claire closed her eyes and took a small breath. Wow, Elena really did know how to land herself into tight spots.

"Klaus needs her blood to create hybrids...she is the last person he would kill." Stefan rationalized.

"Actually Stefan… he only needs her blood." Claire said opening her eyes whilst they all looked at her. "The human body carries approximately ten pints of blood enough to fill how many blood bags?"

Damon and Stefan's eyes widened in realization.

"We should probably head over to his house." Claire said before turning to look at Ric. "i'm sorry this happened to you Ric.."

She then blurred out of the classroom with the boys leaving him behind since he didn't have a daylight ring.

Elena woke up only to find herself bound by a tight rope to a chair. Two were attached on both of her arms and her blood was being transferred to blood bags attached to the back of her seat only to be replaced once they were full.

"I was beginning to worry that you would sleep during the entire process."

Elena turned her her gaze slowly to the hybrid that has spoken. Fatigue was slipping in due to the quantity of blood that was leaving her body.

"If you kill me you wont be able to sire any more hybrids." She said tiredly making him smirk.

"These last few litres will suffice." Klaus said. "You see, by attempting to kill us my mother strengthened the bond between mt siblings and i. I don't need hybrids, i have my family."

"If you truly believe that Niklaus then why take her blood at all?"

Klaus turned around only to see Claire standing besides the Salvatore brothers.

"It's good to see you all again." Klaus responded as though he didn't hear what she said only to blur and stand in front of Stefan and Damon once they had taken a few steps headed for Elena. "I won't let you interfere mates."

"I'm doing you both a favor." He said in amusement when he saw the defiance in their eyes. "Once she is dead, she won't have to choose between the either of you two because let's face it, she is the main reason for your fractured bond."

"I never considered you to be a very kind person Niklaus." Claire said with her brow raised making him smile as though he fully agreed with her sentiment. "You see i consider myself to be a very kind person as well and wish to return the favor."

Before the Salvatores could contemplate what she meant, Claire blurred towards Klaus and unleashed a vicious uppercut that sent him flying backwards and slam against the wall before dropping to the ground.

He got up slowly and a little disoriented, but what shocked him was the taste of blood on his lips.

"Take Elena while i deal with the bitch."

The Salvatores had temporarily frozen at her new found strength.

Klaus suddenly looked furious and blurred towards the girl only for a strong grip to catch him by the throat and tossed back to the wall only to freeze there once he made impact.

"You will find that unlike Ric i'm a little more durable."

"How are you strong?" Klaus demanded in anger and a little fear he tried to hide.

"It was easy, i hijacked some of your mothers power the night she turned Ric into a vampire but the only difference is that i tied my life to that of the sun."

Damon and Stefan were busy untying Elena as they listened in shock to what the girl was saying.

"How are you still a witch?"

Claire smiled a little. "Lets just say...it's difficult for me to part away with my magic." Claire then raised her hand towards a small bucket in the corner of the house which then zoomed towards her and she caught it. She then headed towards him and placed it down under his floating right leg before taking five steps back

"Since you like to drain my sister of her blood for your cause, i hope you won't mind me doing the same to you." Claire slashed her hand in the air diagonally making Klaus scream in pain as

A huge cut appeared on his left side of the chest going down all the way to his right hip as blood began to gush out filling the bucket. His wound didn't seem to be healing.

"I will kill you!" He shouted in agony his eyes shifting to a golden color as fangs showed in his mouth as he tried to break the spell to no avail.

"That, i would love to see."

She then turned her attention to the other house guests only to be met with shocked expressions.

"What? We can't just desiccate him and not exhaust his valuable resource. It's a waste."

Damon was the first to come out of shock. "That's very crafty of you but what i find surprising is the fact that you kept the knowledge of your power to yourself."

"That's because you and Stefan have this annoying tendency to jump every time my sister demands it and drag Bonnie along putting yourselves in danger in the process. It's like i told you from the beginning Damon, no one bosses me around… i make my own choices."

"So that's reason you have been hiding your powers?" Stefan asked not looking impressed.

"That's part of the reason, the other is that i wanted the originals and everyone else for that matter to underestimate me. That was the only way i could study and work out a way to stop them." She then smirked at Damon who began to nod slowly at her logic. "The best way to deal with a psychopath is to think like him."

"Wel-ll, i w-won't underestimate you a-again." Klaus said as fatigue started to affect him making Claire turn to look at him.

"On the contrary Niklaus, once every drop of blood has been drained, i will wipe off your memories of this event...i can't have you blabbing my secrets to your family now can i. There need to be caught unawares."

"I c-cant be compelled."

Claire chuckled darkly. "Who said anything about compulsion…"
