Chapter 14: The Wolf's Unbinding

April 28, 2010

Sasha walked down the pathway to the Gilbert residence and she knocked on the front door.

"Hello Elena, you ready?" Sasha asked when Elena opened the door.

"Who is ever ready to die?" Elena responds looking tired as she steps out of her house and closes the door behind her.

Sasha put a hand on the younger girl's shoulder and smiled at her, "Elena I know Klaus isn't honoring the deal and that you probably don't want to help him. But I promise that I still am."

"Where is Damon then?" Elena asked skeptically.

"He killed me, didn't I deserve some retribution for that?" Sasha questioned with a tilt of her head.

"He's been gone for weeks." Elena retorted worriedly.

"He was also being a hindrance to our deal. The moment Klaus is a hybrid I will release him back to you, okay?" Sasha promised.

"Okay." Elena nodded.

Sasha with Elena following behind her both walked past the tree line where Maddox was working on setting up the spell to free Klaus of his curse.

"So what am I supposed to do exactly?" Elena quietly asks her.

Before Sasha could respond Klaus came over to them and smiled widely at Elena and said, "Hello little doppelganger nice to finally meet you."

"Klaus." Elena responded tightly.

"Don't be like that, love." Klaus tutted, "I don't believe I've done anything to warrant this hostility."

"You murdered my birth mother." Elena retorted sharply.

"Aw no she killed herself," Klaus denied with a smirk, "Took of her daylight necklace didn't she?"

"You compelled her to!" Elena shouted.

"Did I?" Klaus asked mockingly.

"Yes you did." Elena stated knowingly as she glared at him.

"Hmm...doesn't sound like me." Klaus drawled.

Elena opened her mouth looking ready to start yelling when Maddox spoke, "Klaus stop agitating her, the full moon is almost upon us. We don't have time for this."

Klaus looked up at the sky as the setting sun and he sighed, "Maddox show Elena to her position."

Maddox nodded and walked over and guided a still peeved looking Elena over to her spot and muttered a spell that caused a ring of fire to surround Elena. Elena was startled out of her anger at the sudden flames.

"Hey, what about the elixir?!" Elena exclaimed nervously.

Maddox throws a bottle above the flames to Elena who fumbled but managed to hold on to it.

"Drink it." Maddox stated simply and went back to his spot by a stone bowl that contained a small fire.

Elena sighed but drank it and she gagged slightly at the awful taste but she swallowed it all.

Sasha looked over at Elena who was sitting in her ring of fire looking resigned and Sasha looked at the unconscious female werewolf who she believed had escaped Elijah earlier but unfortunately for her, she didn't escape Klaus.

The vampire was someone Sasha didn't recognize initially until she looked closer and realized it was Mary Porter, a vampire of Klaus's bloodline that he had turned back in the early 1400s. The woman looked way too calm so Klaus most have compelled her compliance.

"Klaus is that Mary Porter?" Sasha asked wanting to known if she was correct.

"Yes it is." Klaus nodded.

"How did you find her?" Sasha asked incredulously.

"Mary's an old friend and she had the habit of sending me and my family letters. I found her through those." Klaus explained.

"I don't remember her doing anything to warrant death." Sasha commented with a frown.

"She helped Rose Marie and Trevor hide from me and my brother. She helped those traitors and that made her a traitor by association." Klaus explained with a scowl.

"How did you find that out?" Sasha questioned in surprise.

"Katherine revealed that to me while I was torturing her." Klaus answered.

Sasha nodded in understanding.

The werewolf wakes up when night hits and she groans in pain as her body contorts and bones break in an agonizingly slow manner.

"What's happening to me?!" Jules exclaims.

"My witch slowed down your transformation. Your insides are trying to tear themselves free." Klaus explained as he looked down at the blonde woman.

"Who are you?" Jules shakily demands.

"I'm Klaus-" Klaus starts but Jules interrupts him.

"The hybrid?!" Jules shrieks in terror.

"You sweetheart are about to help me become a fully realized hybrid. You should be honored." Klaus smirked.

"Please, please don't-" Jules begs but Maddox interrupts her.

"I need the moonstone Klaus." Maddox mentions.

"I spent 500 years looking for this. I hate to part with it." Klaus laments as he takes it out of pant's pocket but he hands it to Maddox who palms it in his hands and then looks up at the sky.

"The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?" Maddox asks Klaus.

"I remember." Klaus states confidently.

Maddox then drops the moonstone into the stone bowl filled with flames. Sparks fly as the moonstone is destroyed. Maddox raises his arms and starts chanting in Latin.

Klaus heads over to Jules and the closer he gets the lower the flames get until they're gone and a yellow-eyed Jules lunges at him but Klaus easily subdues her and rips her heart of her chest. Jules drops to the forest floor dead.

Elena gasps in horror at the sight.

Sasha who is standing up in the tree line smiles, happy that the spell has finally begun and that Klaus's wolf side was on its way to be free.

Klaus heads over to the stone bowl with Jules's heart in his hand and he squeezes it causing the blood to drip into the bowl which made the fire spark and rise higher.

"Does that mean it's working?" Klaus asks Maddox.

Maddox nods.

Klaus smiles widely and heads over to Mary who gazes back at him calmly as the flames surrounding her disappear.

"Mary, my old friend any last words?" Klaus asks her.

"Your father was right, you are a bastard." Mary responds cruelly.

Klaus furiously snarls at her and slams her body aggressively into a tree and then proceeds to stake her in the heart. Mary gasps in pain as her body becomes grey and decayed. Klaus throws her body at Maddox feet who gathers her blood into the stone bowl which causes the fire to spark and rise once more.

Sasha startles when Stefan Salvatore appears beside her up in the tree line.

"What-what are you doing here?" Sasha asks stunned, "Do you really want to watch Elena die?"

"No," Stefan admits, "But Elena doesn't deserve to die without someone who loves her at her side and she is coming back isn't she?"

"Yes she is." Sasha confirmed as they watched Klaus walk towards Elena.

The final ring of fire disappears as Klaus approaches Elena who gazes back at him with apprehension and dislike.

Klaus grabs Elena face and softly says, "Thank you, Elena."

"Go to hell." Elena responds bitterly.

Klaus closes his eyes and sinks his fangs into her neck which makes Elena gasp in pain as her eyes roll back as Klaus drains her off all of her blood. Klaus vampire face reveals itself as his eyes are surrounded by veins and his fangs elongate. Klaus removes his teeth from Elena neck and Elena drops to the floor dead.

Klaus opens his eyes and they're are now sported gold irises surrounded by black sclera.

"I can feel it. It's happening!" Klaus exclaims joyfully.

He looks up at the full moon and his body contorts as his bones start to break and reshape themselves as Klaus bends over and gasps from the shock of his transformation. But surprisingly he feels no pain as he fully embraces his change and eventually a white wolf is in his place and he raises his head to the sky and he howled.

Sasha watched as Klaus darted into the trees while Stefan headed towards Elena's body.

"Stefan when Klaus's transformation is over, get ready for a road trip." Sasha advised the vampire.

Stefan just nodded at her and then vanished with Elena's body. Sasha really hoped that they didn't have any foolish plans in the work to avoid the second part of Elena's agreement.

Sasha headed over to a exhausted looking Maddox and she said, "Good job, Maddox."

"Thanks." Maddox smiled as he fell on his ass and tried to catch his breath from doing such an intense spell.

"What's the plan now?" Maddox asked her.

"You go watch over Elena and her cohorts and make sure they aren't up to anything nefarious while I go make Klaus chase me." Sasha orders and then she grins to herself and teleported away.

May 1, 2010

Sasha let's out a breath of relief when Klaus finally turns back to normal. A very naked Klaus stares up at the blue sky and he was grinning to himself looking completely at peace. Sasha doesn't want to shatter his peace but she so far all she'd seen was his bare back and ass, she really didn't want to see anything else less she do something foolish like start lusting after someone she can't have.

She throws clothes at him and Klaus turns to face her and catch them having heard her throw something at him.

"How long was I, a wolf for?" He asks her as he starts getting dressed.

"Two days, you had me worried you were stuck when the first night passed but you can control the transformation can't you?" Sasha rationalized as she very carefully kept her eyes on his face.

"I can, how useful." Klaus commented after he's finished putting on his clothes.

"I wonder what your vamp face looks like now?" Sasha mused aloud.

Klaus grinned at her showing off that his canine and premolar teeth were now razor sharp fangs and he had veins under his eyes which had golden irises and black sclera.

Sasha whistled lowly impressed with his new supernatural face, "Pretty cool, Klaus." She praised.

Klaus lets his face go back to normal and says, "Thank you love but I believe now that I'm on two legs again it time for a road trip."

Sasha nods and tells him, "Maddox has been watching over the doppelganger for me and has told me that she came back to life no problem but whether it was the elixir or her birth father's sacrifice that's up for debate."

Klaus raised an eyebrow and asked, "What?"

"Apparently John didn't trust in the elixir's effectiveness and found another method of revival in his ancestors journal and did that instead. He gave his life for Elena's. No one can tell if it was in vain or not. Elena was very upset regardless." Sasha explains.

"What a stupid man." Klaus scoffed, "He let himself die for no reason, many witches varied that the elixir would work just fine."

Sasha shrugged, "I'm just warning you that Elena's probably not going to be in a good mood."

"I don't care as long as I have access to her blood for my hybrids her mental state doesn't matter." Klaus responded callously.

"It does matter if she decided to sabotage you out of grief or anger." Sasha retorted.

Klaus narrowed his eyes and said, "She should know better than that."

"Hopefully." Sasha responded.

Klaus shook his head and then wrapped an arm around Sasha's waist to her surprise and then he ran them to his apartment in the town over.

"Warn me next time." Sasha grumbled when Klaus's released her.

Klaus ignored her and walked over to table where he left his phone and called someone.

"Klaus?" Maddox asked when he answered his phone.

"Bring the doppelganger and Stefan Salvatore to my apartment." Klaus ordered.

"Yes, sir." Maddox agreed and then Klaus hung up his phone.

"I figured Stefan would be joining us." Sasha commented.

"The Rippah is fun." Klaus smirked.

"Though he isn't like that anymore..." Sasha drawled but she figured that he had a way to fix that.

Klaus went over to the fridge and took out a blood bag and sat on the sofa and waited.

Sasha rolled her eyes lightly and started heading over to her room when Klaus spoke again.

"I left you something in your room." Klaus tells her.

"When did you have time to do that?" Sasha asked suspiciously.

"Maddox did it for me." Klaus responded simply.

"What is it?" Sasha asked curiously.

"Go see." Klaus urged waving a hand at her.

Sasha frowned but went to her room and she gasped when she saw...a bouquet of daffodils and a box of chocolates sitting on her dresser.

Sasha smiled softly at Klaus's gift knowing this way of saying thank you for her help breaking his curse and maybe even an apology for treating her poorly.

She walked out of her room and speed walked back towards Klaus and quickly gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and said, "Thank you, Nik."

Klaus looked caught off guard by her actions but smiled at her and said, "You're welcome, love."

She ran back to her room and started gathering her bags for their trip leaving Klaus to deal with Stefan and Elena.

She was glad however that Klaus and hers relationship was now in a better place now. She hoped that they'd manage to become even better friends while on the road trip.

"Hello Stefan, Elena." Klaus greeted from his spot on the couch as Maddox guided them over to him.

"Hello, Klaus." Stefan greeted back with forced politeness.

"Klaus." Elena muttered looking angry, "What do you want with Stefan?!"

"I heard about this one vampire, crazy bloke, always on and off the wagon for decades. When he was off, he was magnificent. 1917, he went into Monterrey and wiped out an entire migrant village...A true ripper. Sound familiar?" Klaus asked Stefan.

"I haven't been that way in long time." Stefan stated grimly as he gave a worried glance to Elena before looking back at Klaus.

"Well, that's the vampire I can deal with. That is the kind of talent that I can use when I leave this town." Klaus revealed.

"What about Damon?" Stefan asked, "Sasha promised to release him when the curse was broken. It's been two days."

"I never agreed to such a thing." Klaus responded dismissively.

"Let Damon go." Elena demanded.

"Elena, Elena you don't tell me what to do." Klaus laughed.

"My deal-" Elena started furiously.

"Your deal was null and void when my brother was daggered. Now I appreciate the fact you participated in the ritual without giving me any grief. So as a thank you I'll leave all your little friends alone, alright?" Klaus stated.

"Damon-" Elena tried to speak again but Klaus cut her off again.

"Damon was in my possession long before the ritual and he's not really your business is he, right Stefan?" Klaus asked mockingly.

"If I become a ripper again will you let Damon go?" Stefan asked tiredly when he understood what Klaus was getting at.

"Yes I will." Klaus promised.

"...Fine." Stefan sighed.

"Stefan no don't let him turn you into a monster!" Elena exclaimed.

"Ouch mate, your girlfriend thinks lowly of you." Klaus stated with a wince.

"No I don't!" Elena yelled.

"You just called him a monster." Klaus deadpanned.

"No I didn't I said I didn't want him to turn into a monster because of you." Elena argued.

"Do you understand what being a vampire means, Elena?" Klaus questioned impatiently.

"What do you mean?" Elena asked confused.

"It means no longer do you have to live confided by human conventions. You do what you want. You embrace who you are and live your best life as my younger brother is fond of saying." Klaus explained.

"Stefan isn't someone who enjoys killing people!" Elena argued.

"Do you not know your boyfriend at all?" Klaus laughed.

"You don't know me Klaus." Stefan defended himself.

Klaus hummed but didn't argue with him instead he threw a blood bag at Stefan who caught it and said, "Drink up, mate."

"Stefan!" Elena protested but Stefan ignored her and started drinking from the blood bag and he downed in inhumanely fast the moment he got lost in taste of human blood.

Stefan looked at Klaus like he wanted more and Klaus smiled and obliged throwing another blood bag at him.

Eventually Klaus ran out of blood bags and Stefan reluctantly started eyeing Elena's neck so Klaus compelled him, "You will not drink from Elena or Sasha without my express permission."

Stefan and Elena both looked relieved at this order.

Klaus stood up and smiled, "One last thing and then we'll leave."

Klaus heard Elena's gasp of horror when they walked into the back room and a desiccated Katherine was found lying on the floor.

Katherine was too far gone to speak but she did weakly open her eyes and looked at them.

"Katherine oh my god." Elena whispered horrified when Katherine's brown eyes locked with Elena's own.

"She owes me five hundred years so...I need to move her without risk of her escaping," Klaus explained to them and then he motioned towards Stefan, "Pick her up would you?"

Stefan did but he looked very uncomfortable doing so. Katherine weakly stumped against him but didn't move, she probably couldn't.

Klaus then lead them out of the apartment and headed down the car were Maddox and Sasha were waiting with an unconscious Damon at their feet.

Elena locked disturbed by his glowing golden eye sockets.

Sasha bent down and touched Damon's temples with her fingers and a burst of gold left her finger tips and Damon's eyes went back to their normal blue and he darted up from his laid out position and scrambled away from Sasha.

He eyes darted around at everyone and he looked confused and angry but before he could speak, Klaus broke his neck.

"Damon!" Elena cried as she rushed to Damon's side.

But Klaus prevented her and said, "He's fine now but we need to leave before he wakes up. Everyone in the car."

After Stefan at Klaus's insistence put Katherine in the trunk, he urged Elena in the car and she let him but she cast one more worried look towards Damon before complying.

Sasha sat in the passenger side as Klaus drove them out of Mystic Falls while Maddox sat in the back between Elena and Stefan.

She snacked on the chocolates Klaus gave her with her right hand as she held the flowers in her left hand. It was a lovely gift but she didn't really have anywhere to put them unless...

Sasha teleport away for a moment and arrived in Tate's office which caused Tate to yell out in alarm and say, "Damn it Sasha, you trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Can I leave these flowers here until I have somewhere to put them?" Sasha asked him.

Tate blinked at the vase full of daffodils but just shrugged and said, "Okay I'll make sure to water them for you."

"Thank you Tate!" Sasha beamed and then went back to the car.

"Where did you go?" Klaus asked her curiously.

"I put the flowers somewhere safe," Sasha explained and then she offered him a chocolate and asked, "Want one?"

Klaus smiled at her and ate it out of her fingers which made Sasha look at him with wide eyes.

He just smiled wider and licked his lips before looking back out at the road.

'Did he just...?' Sasha wonders to herself as she blushes before she shakes her head and tell herself, 'No Sasha do not go falling for a Mikaelson it's a bad idea.'

Unwilling she remembers how nice hugging Elijah felt and how cute Klaus is when he smiles and she curses herself.
