Chapter Sixteen:
A few weeks later I was at Klaus' mansion to help him convince Bonnie to unlink him and his siblings from each other after getting a sample of each of their blood.
Bonnie and I were sitting on a couch in the living room when Klaus walked in.
"Tick tock. I should hear chanting by now." Klaus said to Bonnie.
"I'm still studying the unlinking spell. It's not that easy, especially under duress." Bonnie said to us.
"You've been warned. If you're looking for a way to send for help… I will kill anyone who comes to your rescue." Klaus said to Bonnie.
"This is the spell. I just don't know if I'm strong enough." Bonnie said to us.
"You are, Bonnie." I said to Bonnie.
"Your energy helped my mother link us. Honestly, I think someone isn't trying very hard." Klaus said to Bonnie.
"Bonnie, please, just do the spell and then you can go." I said to Bonnie.
Bonnie then glared at both Klaus and I and then Klaus let out a sigh.
"Very well." Klaus said to Bonnie.
Klaus then pulled out his cell phone and called someone.
"Kol. How's the weather up there in Mile High City?" Klaus asked Kol over the phone.
Then there was a pause on the other end of the phone as Kol spoke.
"And how's our friend?" Klaus asked Kol over the phone.
Then there was a pause on the other end of the phone as Kol spoke again.
"May I see him?" Klaus asked Kol over the phone.
Klaus then held up his cell phone and showed Bonnie and I a video of Jeremy playing fetch with a puppy in a park.
"There's Jeremy. Playing fetch with his new puppy. Isn't that just the most adorable thing you've ever seen?" Klaus asked Bonnie.
Klaus then put the phone back to his ear.
"Thank you, Kol. We'll be in touch." Klaus said to Kol over the phone.
Klaus then hanged up his cell phone and then looked at Bonnie.
"So, Bonnie… about that spell." Klaus said to Bonnie.
We then heard yelling coming from somewhere in the mansion.
"What was that?" Bonnie asked us.
"I wouldn't let it bother you, love." Klaus said to Bonnie.
"Well, it does bother me. You bother me. The way you use people to get what you want. It's not right." Bonnie said to Klaus.
Bonnie then looked at me.
"And how can you be helping him? What is wrong with you?" Bonnie asked me.
I then looked down at the floor in shame.
"You're being emotional, Bonnie. I understand that things have been rough for you. You know, with your mother leaving again. It's very sad." Klaus said to Bonnie.
"You told him about my mom?" Bonnie asked me in disbelief.
I then continued to keep my eyes on the floor as more shame rushed through me.
"I can help you find her. If you want. I have people who can find people. I can bring her back to you. Or, if you choose, I can just bring parts of her back." Klaus said to Bonnie.
I then looked up at Klaus.
"Klaus, that's not helping." I said to Klaus.
Klaus ignored me.
"Isn't it obvious that I'm just gonna continue to hurt the people you love… until you do the spell?" Klaus asked Bonnie.
"And you know he will, Bonnie." I said to Bonnie.
"Now, I know it's in the Grimoire. And I know it requires the blood of my siblings." Klaus said to Bonnie.
Klaus then pulled out a pouch from his pants' pocket and opened it to reveal that there were four vials of blood in it.
"So here we are. Elijah, Rebekah, Kol and Finn." Klaus said to Bonnie pointing at each vial.
Klaus then elongated his fangs and then bit into his wrist making it bleed.
"Where do you want us?" Klaus asked Bonnie.
"Just do it, Bonnie. Please." I said to Bonnie.
Bonnie then picked up a goblet that was sitting on a table and then held it underneath Klaus' bleeding wrist so that the blood would drip into it.
Bonnie then poured the blood in each vial into the goblet and then lit some candles.
Bonnie then dumped all of the blood that was in the goblet onto the table and then began chanting in Latin.
We then watched as the blood separated into five different pools of blood and that was when we knew that the spell worked.
After that Klaus and I began to walk Bonnie out of his mansion and when we reached the ball room we saw that Rebekah was wiping her hands clean of blood.
"Aw, leaving so soon?" Rebekah asked Bonnie snidely.
"Sister, be nice." Klaus said to Rebekah.
"Thank you, Bonnie. See you in Physics class." Rebekah said to Bonnie.
Rebekah then walked away from us and then we saw that Damon was hanging from the ceiling by two bear traps and bloody.
"Oh, my God." Bonnie said to herself.
"Yeah, you'll have to excuse the mess. Apparently Damon hurt her feelings." Klaus said to Bonnie.
Damon then lifted his head up and then saw us.
"Bonnie." Damon said to Bonnie weakly.
"Go on. Help him. Save the man who turned your mother into a vampire." Klaus said to Bonnie.
"Just get me out of here." Bonnie said to Klaus.
"Very well." Klaus said to Bonnie.
Klaus and I then walked Bonnie towards the front door and then she walked out of the mansion.
An hour later Stefan came to save Damon.
"Klaus. I'm here. Let's do this." Stefan said to Klaus.
Klaus, Rebekah, and I then walked into the ball room and saw that Stefan was holding a duffle bag in his hand.
"Oh, good, a hero. What do you want?" Klaus asked Stefan.
"I'm here to make a deal." Stefan said to Klaus.
"Stefan, what are you doing?" Damon asked Stefan confusedly.
Stefan then dropped the duffle bag onto the floor and we saw that there were stakes in it.
"Eight stakes made of white oak. The part of Wickery Bridge that you forgot to burn." Stefan said to Klaus.
"That's impossible." Rebekah said to us.
"Actually, it's not. Finn's dead." Stefan said to us.
"You killed my brother?" Rebekah asked Stefan in disbelief.
"Damon in exchange for the last eight weapons that can kill you." Stefan said to Klaus.
"And how do I know there aren't any more left?" Klaus asked Stefan.
"Because there aren't." Stefan said to Klaus.
"Let's be certain, shall we?" Klaus asked us.
Klaus then walked over to Damon.
"Leave." Klaus said to Damon trying to compel him.
"No." Damon said to Klaus.
"Go on, leave." Klaus said to Damon trying to compel him again.
"Nik, he's my plaything, not yours." Rebekah said to Klaus.
Klaus ignored Rebekah and he grabbed Damon's chin so that he was forced to look at him in the eyes.
"I said, go home." Klaus said to Damon compelling him.
Damon then tried to pull his hands out the bear traps making him scream and I looked away from the scene.
"All right, stop. Stop. Stop, before you hurt yourself." Klaus said to Damon compelling him.
Damon then stopped trying to pull himself free and then Klaus looked at us.
"Well, I can see that he can finally be compelled." Klaus said to us.
Klaus then looked back at Damon.
"Now… Ahem. Minus the stake that's in my brother… how many more stakes are out there that can kill me?" Klaus asked Damon compelling him.
"Eleven." Damon said to Klaus.
"Eleven. Really. So not eight, then." Klaus said to Stefan.
"You really shouldn't have lied." Rebekah said to Stefan.
"I'll get you the other three." Stefan said to Klaus.
"Yeah, that'd be nice. Or, since you lied… maybe I'll just compel your brother to chew out his tongue." Klaus said to Stefan.
"What is wrong with you?" Stefan asked Klaus.
"What is wrong with you? Do you really have no appreciation for me? I have given you someone to hate. To loathe. A target for all of your anger so you didn't have to turn it on yourself. I've given your life purpose, as your friend. I mean, I really think you should be thanking me." Klaus said to Stefan.
"Enough." Stefan said to Klaus.
Stefan then used his vamp speed to run over to Klaus and pushed him up against a wall and held a stake at Klaus' heart.
"Step down or you both die." Klaus said to Stefan.
Stefan then let go of Klaus and stepped away from him after handing him the stake.
"There. Now you only have to get me the other two." Klaus said to Stefan.
"This is ridiculous." Rebekah said to us.
Rebekah then walked over to Damon.
"What are you doing?" Klaus asked Rebekah.
"I brought him here. I get to release him. My rules now." Rebekah said to Klaus.
Rebekah then unchained Damon from the bear traps and he fell to the floor.
"Bring us the stakes and you both live. Take your brother as a sign of good faith." Rebekah said to Stefan.
Rebekah then picked up the duffle bag filled with the stakes and then walked out of the ball room.
"Bring us the stakes. All of them. Or I'll wage a war against everyone you love. I hope I'm being clear." Klaus said to Stefan.
Klaus then walked out of the ball room.
"You two just don't know when to stop picking fights, do you? Bring them the stakes before you get us all killed." I said to them.
I then walked out of the ball room.
After that I went home.
