Chapter Twenty:
The next day Jeremy and I were standing outside Elena's room who was staring at her reflection in a mirror and then she saw us and ran over to us and hugged us.
"Jer. Caitlin." Elena said to us.
"How are you?" I asked Elena.
"Are you okay? I watched Vicki go through this. She was a mess. Her emotions were all over the place. All of these old memories came flooding back." Jeremy said to Elena.
"I'm fine. I'm not Vicki." Elena said to us.
"No, you're not. You're you. You act like everything's okay so no one worries about you. But you need help." I said to Elena.
"I said I'm fine, okay?" Elena asked us angrily.
Jeremy and I then stared at Elena and then she realized that she snapped at us.
"I… I'm sorry, I…" Elena began to say to us before I interrupted her.
"It's okay. We know you didn't mean to snap at us." I said to Elena.
Elena then looked at Jeremy.
"Have you talked to Bonnie?" Elena asked Jeremy.
"Yeah. She said when I was shot, she made some plea to the witch spirits to bring me back. And they listened." Jeremy said to Elena.
"Yeah, but the consequences were horrible." Elena said to Jeremy.
"And what could be more horrible than you turning into a vampire? I need my sister. Not another one of them." Jeremy said to Elena.
"And so do I." I said to Elena.
"We're going to find a way out of this. Everything's gonna be oaky." Elena said to us.
"I hope so." Jeremy said to Elena.
Jeremy then walked downstairs and I looked at Elena.
"I should get going. Ric told the Council I'm a werewolf. It's not safe here anymore." I said to Elena.
"Where are you gonna go?" Elena asked me.
"I don't know. I'm meeting Rebekah at her mansion and then we're leaving town." I said to Elena.
"You're leaving with Rebekah?" Elena asked me in disbelief.
"I know you don't like her, Elena. Especially after last night, but she's my friend and I'm gonna need her help to get out of here safely. It's only a matter of time before the Council makes their move." I said to Elena.
Elena then hugged me and I hugged her back.
"Just be safe." Elena said to me.
"You too. I'm leaving my cell phone behind so they can't track me." I said to Elena.
"Good idea. Let me know if you need anything." Elena said to me.
"I will. Just keep yourself and Jeremy safe. If you complete the transition for some reason, make sure no one knows. It's the only way you'll survive." I said to Elena.
"I know, but I'm going to be fine. Bonnie's gonna find a way out of this." Elena said to me.
"I'm just saying be prepared for the worst case scenario." I said to Elena.
"And I am prepared for it." Elena said to me.
"Good." I said to Elena.
I then walked downstairs and then walked out of the house.
Once outside I got into my car and drove to Rebekah's mansion.
When I got to the mansion I walked inside and went looking for Rebekah and I found her in Klaus' study staring at his sketches.
I then walked up to Rebekah and hugged her and she hugged me back
"I miss him too, Rebekah." I said to Rebekah.
Damon then walked into Klaus' study.
"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady." Rebekah said to Damon.
"Good advice. Have you seen one?" Damon asked Rebekah.
"Tragic about Elena. Not to make a gray cloud grayer, but does Matt even have automobile insurance?" Rebekah asked Damon.
Damon then used his vamp speed to run up to Rebekah and then pulled the white oak stake out of his jacket's pocket.
Damon then went to stab Rebekah in the heart with the white oak stake but she grabbed his arm that was holding the stake and twisted it making him drop the stake to the floor.
Then all of a sudden we heard gunshots and both Rebekah and I were hit.
Before I lost consciousness I saw Damon use his vamp speed to run away and then an arrow was shot in Rebekah's heart and then she fell to the floor next to me and desiccated.
When I woke up I found myself strapped and chained in the back of a prisoner transport vehicle next to Caroline who was awake and Rebekah who was next to her still unconscious.
I then saw that my hand were tied with wolfsbane ropes and that Caroline's and Rebekah's were tied with vervain ropes.
Rebekah then woke up and began to struggle with the ropes.
"Vervain ropes." Caroline said to Rebekah.
"And wolfsbane ropes for me. Yay." I said to them sarcastically.
"Looks like Alaric outed us all to the Council." Caroline said to us.
"The Council? What exactly do they think they can do to me?" Rebekah asked us.
Then all of the sudden something came crashing into the side of the prisoner transport vehicle and it ended up going on its side.
"What the hell happened?!" Rebekah asked us.
Then the doors to the back of the prisoner transport vehicle were ripped off by none other than Tyler.
"Tyler?" Caroline asked Tyler confusedly.
"I'm harder to kill than you think." Tyler said to Caroline.
Tyler then began ripping the chains, straps, and ropes that kept us trapped in our seats off of me and Caroline.
"You're alive? How are you alive?" Caroline asked Tyler happily.
Tyler then turned around when he was done freeing me and Caroline and saw that a police car was coming towards us.
"No time. Come on, we gotta go." Tyler said to us.
Caroline then grabbed me and we used vampire speed to run a few miles away from the scene with Tyler following us and then stopped in the middle of the woods.
"What about Rebekah?" I asked them.
"There wasn't enough time to get her out. But don't worry, love. She'll be fine." Tyler said to me.
I then realized that Tyler just called me love.
"Did you just call me "love"?" I asked Tyler.
"I don't know, love. Did I?" Tyler asked me.
I then stared into Tyler's eyes as he was grinning and I realized that Klaus was possessing him like he did to Ric at the dance months ago.
"Klaus!" I yelled at Tyler/Klaus happily.
I then hugged Tyler/Klaus and he hugged me back.
"I missed you too, love." Tyler/Klaus said to me.
"You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now." I said to Tyler/Klaus.
Tyler/Klaus then went to kiss me but I stopped him by putting my hand on his lips.
"I said I wanted to kiss you, not Tyler. You can kiss me all you want when you're back in your body." I said to Tyler/Klaus.
"Sounds good to me." Tyler/Klaus said to me.
Caroline then finally realized that her boyfriend was possessed by Klaus.
"Oh, my God. You're Klaus! You're disgusting! What the hell did you do to Tyler?" Caroline asked Tyler/Klaus angrily.
"Caroline, everything's gonna be fine. We'll put Klaus back in his body and then Tyler will return his." I said to Caroline.
I then looked over at Tyler/Klaus.
"Right?" I asked Tyler/Klaus.
"All Bonnie has to do is a spell and then we go back to our bodies." Tyler/Klaus said to us.
"See? Tyler will be back in his own body in less than hour from now." I said to Caroline.
Caroline, Tyler/Klaus, and I then went to the old Lockwood cellar because that was where Bonnie planned to do the spell.
When we got there Bonnie and Jeremy told us that she couldn't do the spell which made Tyler/Klaus angry.
"She said she's not strong enough." Jeremy said to us.
"You were strong enough to put me in here, surely you're strong enough to get me out." Tyler/Klaus said to Bonnie.
"I upset the spirits trying to save Elena. I can't use that kind of magic again. It's too dangerous." Bonnie said to Tyler/Klaus.
"Bonnie, do the bloody spell!" Tyler/Klaus yelled at Bonnie angrily.
"She said she can't, okay?" Caroline asked Tyler/Klaus.
Caroline then looked over at Bonnie.
"We'll just wait a few days until you're strong enough to do it with traditional magic. Right, Bonnie?" Caroline asked Bonnie.
Tyler/Klaus then ripped off his shirt and then held out his hand and we saw his nails grow long and turn into claws.
"What are you doing?" Caroline asked Tyler/Klaus confusedly.
"Ripping Tyler's heart out. I'll jump into someone else." Tyler/Klaus said to us.
Tyler/Klaus then looked at Jeremy.
"Maybe you." Tyler/Klaus said to Jeremy.
Tyler/Klaus then plunged his claws into his chest and began screaming.
"Oh, my God." Bonnie said to herself.
"Oh, my God. Stop. Stop!" Caroline yelled at Tyler/Klaus.
"He's bluffing. He needs a witch to do that." Jeremy said to us.
"What makes you think I don't have one? Or ten?" Tyler/Klaus asked us.
Tyler/Klaus then looked at Bonnie.
"Pick, Bonnie! You or Tyler!" Tyler/Klaus yelled at Bonnie.
Tyler/Klaus then plunged his claws deeper into his chest making him scream even louder.
"Stop! Please! You're killing him!" Caroline yelled at Tyler/Klaus.
"Fine, I'll do it! Just stop." Bonnie said to Tyler/Klaus.
Tyler/Klaus then removed his hand from his chest and it began to heal.
"Good. Let's begin." Tyler/Klaus said to Bonnie.
Tyler/Klaus then sat down on the ground and Bonnie surrounded him with candles and then lit them.
Bonnie then put her hands on Tyler's/Klaus' head and began chanting.
"This is black magic. She shouldn't be doing this." Jeremy said to us.
Bonnie continues chanting and a few minutes later Tyler opened his eyes and gasped.
"Tyler." Caroline said to Tyler.
"Caroline. Hey." Tyler said to Caroline smiling.
Tyler then stood up and walked a few steps forward before collapsing to the ground unconscious.
"Tyler!" Caroline yelled at Tyler running over to him.
Even though the spell had worked Bonnie continues chanting.
"Bonnie, what are you doing?" Jeremey asked Bonnie confusedly.
"Bonnie, it worked. You can stop now." I said to Bonnie.
Bonnie continued chanting like she could hear us and Caroline ran over to her.
"Bonnie, stop!" Caroline yelled at Bonnie shaking her.
Bonnie then came back to reality and then collapsed onto the ground sobbing.
"No! No! No! Oh, my God! What have I done?! What did I do?!" Bonnie asked herself.
Jeremy then went over to Bonnie and hugged her.
"You're okay. You're okay." Jeremy said to Bonnie.
"What did I do? What did I do?" Bonnie asked herself.
Klaus then woke up after that and he and I went back to his mansion to grab a few things before leaving town.
When we got to his mansion he grabbed the last three bags of Elena's blood and put them in a cooler.
"I want you to turn me." I said to Klaus.
Klaus then turned around to look at me.
"Are you sure?" Klaus asked me.
"No, but this is the only chance I'll get to become a hybrid, so I'm gonna take it. I know I want to be with you and I don't want to be scared or weak anymore. So do it." I said to Klaus.
"Are you sure this is what you want? There's no going back." Klaus said to me.
"I'm sure. Do it." I said to Klaus.
Klaus then bit into his wrist making it bleed and he walked over to me and I drank it.
I then looked up at Klaus and smiled at him.
"I love you, Nik." I said to Nik.
"I love you too, Caitlin." Nik said to me.
Nik then kissed me passionately and I kissed him back with equal passion.
I then felt Nik's hand go for my neck snapping it and then I collapsed into his arms dead.
