Damon's Pov

Stefan was still being his obnoxious self, killing without any thought and he wasn't able to understand a single reason, as to why? So, he decided it was time for some brotherly bonding and headed to the bar, for a drink with Stefan. Meanwhile, Elena had been constantly calling him to ask about Stefan, even though he repeatedly told her that Stefan was fine. Now, he was so irritated, that he wanted to kill someone. Stefan compelled the bartender and drank from her, as soon as they reached the bar. Once he was done, Stefan asked him the reason he was released from the cell, but before he could answer, Mikael showed-up.
"Hello, Salvatore boys."

He looked up and saw a middle-aged man with short dark blond hair, who had blue eyes. He was dressed like Elijah, and was wearing a dark suit over a dress shirt.

"Mikael." Stefan recognized him immediately.

"I want you to tell me if Niklaus is in the country?" Mikael demanded.

"I can't tell you." Even though Stefan replied with a smile, he could tell that his brother was tense. So, he decided to intervene and said, "I hope you are not going to kill Klaus with your twenty questions." He said sarcastically.

Suddenly, Mikael plunged his hand into his chest and held his heart, as a pained groan escaped him.

"I am not going to ask again." He looked at Stefan and tightened his grip even more. The pain was intense and his eyes rolled at the back of his head. Stefan was about to answer, when suddenly Mikael released the grip on his heart, retracted his hand from his chest and he felt his breath return.

"It was nice meeting you. Have a nice day, boys." Mikael said with a smile, then turned around and left the bar.

He looked at the door, from which Mikael had exited just now, with his jaw slackened and turned to look at Stefan, who had the similar expression as well. They both were flummoxed and shared a glance. What had exactly happened?

"You can't stay out of trouble, can you?" A female voice drawled.

He looked up to see Athena standing in front of him and looking at him with raised eyebrows.

Lavender grinned at him. "Hello, Damon." He hadn't noticed her till now. He glanced at her and smiled half-heartedly.

Athena looked at Stefan and said, "This was my dorm-mate in school." Then she turned towards her and muttered, "That's Stefan. Damon's brother."

"Hello." She waved at Stefan as she giggled. Then, she turned towards Damon and said, "You didn't tell me you had such a cute brother, Damon."

Stefan looked at Athena with a raised eyebrow, at which she just shook her head.

Stefan's brows furrowed and he asked, "How did you do that?"

Yeah. He was curious about that too.

"Nothing much. It was just a small spell." She mumbled.

Stefan gaped at her with barely hidden awe, as he asked, "You can control such an old vampire with a simple spell?"

"Small spell? It was the Imperius Curse." The girl, Lavender, almost shouted at Athena incredulously. Yeah, he could definitely see, why she wanted to murder Ron for bring the girl here.

"Yes, and I wanted to keep that information to myself." Athena said through gritted teeth, as she eyed the girl dangerously.

He stared at her speechlessly. He knew it was one of the Unforgivable Curses and could land her in the prison. He also knew, that it was the first time she had used an Unforgivable and that was for him. He wanted to yell at her for putting herself in danger, but his only thought was that, 'she thought about him before herself'. No one had done that for him. He was still staring at her, when he saw her lips moving and realized that she was talking to him. He blinked as he came back to himself.

He turned towards Athena and asked, "What are you doing here?"

She said as she pointed towards the girl, Lavender. "I wanted to show her around. Good thing I did too."

"And, we were going to buy a telephone." Lavender said excitedly.

Athena ignored her and said seriously, "You should leave, right now. He was an extremely powerful man. My spell won't be able to work on him for much longer. He will remember that he left, but he won't remember the reason behind it and could be back soon. That was the only thing I could think of."

He nodded at her as he hugged her. Stefan thanked her at the same time. He needed to have a 'nice talk' with her, once Klaus was dead. And then they left.

.

According to the plan, once Elena daggered Mikael, Stefan informed Klaus that Mikael was dead. Though he was suspicious at first, but finally believed it, when Stefan sent a picture of 'dead' Mikael to him. Elena tricked Rebekah and stabbed her with a dagger, as well. Caroline organized the "Homecoming Party", where they were going to kill Klaus. He, Stefan and Elena worked with Mikael, but he wanted to make sure, that no one will interfere to ruin their plan. And, he didn't want to jeopardize Elena's safety. So as always, he had a back-up plan.

.

The party was moved to Tyler's home, not that he cared. The only thing he would make sure was that Klaus was dead, by the end of the night. They didn't tell anything to Tyler, him being Klaus's bitch and all.

He wanted to be there at the party and make sure that everything goes according to plan. Since he was the only one of the two, who could enter the house; Mikael gave the stake to him, so he could stake Klaus. He had to kill a hybrid or two, but he wasn't concerned.

Mikael sent a message through one of the hybrids to Klaus, that he wanted to talk to him. Klaus came to the door, but didn't exit the house. Mikael took 'Elena' hostage and threatened Klaus to come out, else he would kill her. As soon as Mikael stabbed Elena and Klaus was distracted, he blurred towards him from behind and almost stabbed him. Suddenly, Stefan came from nowhere and stopped him. The moment Klaus was free, he grabbed the stake from his hand and stabbed Mikael, who died on spot.

He looked up at Stefan, who was still holding him by the collar of his shirt and asked furiously. "What the hell did you do?"

But it wasn't Stefan who answered. It was Klaus.

"He's just earned his freedom." He looked into Stefan's eyes and said, "Thank you, my friend. You no longer have to do as I say. You're free."

Absolute fury gripped him. He'd thought about everything and anything that could have gone wrong. He's been planning this, to bring his brother back, and this was all how turned out. He had been wrong, all along. He couldn't stay any longer and watch Stefan after his betrayal, so he left before he would do something, he would regret later.

.

He was in his living room, with a glass of bourbon in hand, telling Elena how it all went to hell. He was furious and wanted to go on a rampage. After everything they've been through, his brother betrayed him once again. He was so sure Stefan wanted Klaus dead as well. What had gone wrong? No matter how much he tried it, he could think why would Stefan save Klaus?
"I had Klaus. This was our one chance and I could have killed him. It's all over, Elena." He all but snarled at her. His rage bubbled over and he threw the glass into the fireplace angrily. The sound of the glass shattering gave him a strange kind of satisfaction.

"Hey!" Elena said as she touched his arm, trying to make him turn around and look at her. He was angry and he didn't want her to touch him, right now. So, he shrugged her hand-off his arm.

"Damon…Hey!" She grabbed his forearm tightly and he turned to look at her.

Both her hands came up and she held his face, forcing him to look at her, as she said, "Listen to me."

He was angry but looked at her. "We'll survive this. We always survive." And then she whispered, "Trust me, Damon."

"We are never getting Stefan back. You know that." He whispered, feeling weak suddenly.

And as he said it to her, he realized that it was the reason behind his anger. He's lost his brother today and in the worst way possible. He wanted to make her believe it, it was for her own good; but somewhere he knew that he needed to accept it as well.

"Then we'll let him go." She stated firmly. "You have me and I have you, Damon." She said, as she looked into his eyes.

She was still holding his face and hers was so close to him. Only inches apart. It was Elena standing there, but as she said this, all he saw was the girl with emerald eyes.

"Yeah. You have me, always" He whispered to her.

He saw her looking at his lips and leaning forward. He was tired…too tired. Or maybe he didn't want to fight any longer. He didn't think much, just leaned forward and smashed lips to hers. Her hand tightened in his hair and she pushed herself closer to him as she returned the kiss. He slipped his arms around her waist and practically pulled her on top of him. One of her hands moved to the back his neck, and he felt her tongue, running along the seam of his lips. He opened his mouth and flicked his tongue out to touch hers. She pressed her mouth closer to his and ran her tongue inside his mouth, as she pushed him on the couch behind them and then straddled him. She pressed herself more firmly against him and started rocking back and forth on his growing erection. He couldn't stop the moan that escaped him, when she twisted her head down and bit him on the neck. Her hands eagerly exploring his body, as his wandered inside her top and his cock twitched in anticipation.

His phone rang suddenly and he froze, his eyelids flew open. He saw brown eyes staring down at him, not green but brown and he almost threw her off him. He didn't know what he was doing and sighed. Elena got up, looked at him and uttered, "Uh…I…I should leave." She bent down kissed him on the cheek, then looked into his eyes and said, "Everything will be alright, Damon." And with that, she left.

He took a breath and answered the phone. It was Katherine. She told him that, she was leaving town and won't be back for sometime now. He sighed with relief at that.

He went back to his room and realized, that he almost had sex with Elena, who he was in love with, but she hadn't even crossed his mind. His mind was focused on his green-eyed girl the whole time. What was he doing?

Klaus's Pov

He was thinking about Athena, Lily's daughter and if the letter was correct, his child too. He was still unable to believe that he had a daughter and that too with Lily. The person who he genuinely cared about, apart from his family and without any ulterior motive. It was still hard to believe for him, though. He wasn't able to process it. She was extremely powerful. He had dealt with many witches in his 1000 years, but she was the most powerful of them all. When she threw him of her, he saw the green of her eyes shining brightly. They were almost glowing. He had never, in all his life, seen anything even remotely close to it. She told him that she was a wand-wielding witch and her parents were as well, but he hadn't seen her using a wand. Was it possible? What he was thinking could be the reason of the power she had? He was fairly positive, that this was indeed the reason. And if it was, he would have to keep her existence a secret. He would have to keep her hidden and away from the world. He had seen her eyes and they held such sadness, that he wanted to kill every single person, who was responsible for putting it there. He was sure she was his child, but even if she wasn't, he would have protected her. She was Lily's daughter. He wanted to go to her and demand all the answers he was anxious to know. But he needed to give the girl time. He wasn't sure, if she would ever forgive him for what he'd done and held hope in the fact, that she had asked Rebekah to come back in a day or two.

He thought, as he tried to call Rebekah again, but she wasn't answering.

.

His phone rang and he looked at it to see Stefan calling him. He smirked as he answered it, "Hello, mate."

"We have Mikael. He's dead."

He sobered instantly when he heard this. If the Salvatore's were playing a game with him, he would obliterate everyone they've ever loved and leave them to live in misery for eternity.

"I hope for your sake that you're telling the truth, Stefan. Because if you lie, your compulsion will expose you."

I know, but he's dead. I cannot lie you. I've just sent you the picture."

His phone buzzed and he saw Mikael's dead, withered face. Mikael was dead. He was elated. It was finally time to bring his family together again. Stefan informed him that they could celebrate, as they were already having a party at the school gym.

He didn't want to have such a big celebration of his father's death at a school, so he told Tyler that he wanted the party at his house. And, being the good hybrid, Tyler agreed immediately.

.

Even though he had seen the picture of Mikael himself, he still ordered all his hybrids to kill anyone and everyone who tried to harm him. He saw Elena and informed her, that if they tried to hurt him, Damon would be dead. He had seen the way the doppelgänger kept both the Salvatore's around and knew that she was in love with both of them. After all, she was Katerina's descendant. One can never be too safe.

.

He was inside the house when one of his hybrids informed him that a man named Mikael wanted to talk to him. His fury arose at that. The Salvatore's had lied to him. He was incensed and afeared at the same time. He went to the door, but didn't step out of the house.

Mikael was standing there, looking at him with that smirk of his. He tried to goad him into coming out, after he took the doppelgänger hostage, belittled him as he had always done and then killed Elena. He didn't need her. He had not wanted her to die, but he had much important things to think of. He had his hybrids and he would leave with them. He has his family and now maybe 'a daughter'.

He wasn't paying attention, as the elder Salvatore came from behind and tried to stab him. The oak-stake burned him as soon as it touched his body, and he couldn't help the pained scream that left him. Damon was just about to stab him, when Stefan came and pushed his brother off him. He saw the brother's struggling, but focused on the stake. He snatched it from Damon's hand and stabbed 'his father' in the heart. Mikael's body caught on fire, as soon as he was stabbed and he watched with satisfaction.

He wanted to kill both the brothers for tricking him, but he decided to spare them because Stefan saved his life. He saw the brothers still glaring at each-other when Damon asked Stefan, "What the hell did you do?"

Before Stefan could say anything, he decided to answer.

"He's just earned his freedom." He looked into Stefan's eyes as he compelled him and said, "Thank you, my friend. You no longer have to do as I say. You're free."

Stefan's Pov

He was at the party at Tyler's house. Klaus had taken everything he had worked so hard for, he was forced to hurt the one's he loved the most. He would see the person, who forced him to become the one thing he hated the most, die today. No matter what, they would kill Klaus tonight. Damon didn't trust him but his only goal was to see the hybrid dead. That was until Katherine informed him, that Klaus thought she was Elena, and told her that if they kill him, his hybrids would kill Damon.

Mikael stabbed 'Elena' and when Klaus was distracted, Damon blurred towards him from behind and almost stabbed him. He couldn't let his brother die, no matter how much they hated each-other. Damon was his only family. So, when he saw that Damon's almost succeeded in stabbing Klaus, he did the only thing he could do. He pushed Damon and pinned him to the floor. Klaus took the opportunity and grabbed the stake from Damon and stabbed Mikael, who died on spot.

He looked down and saw the look of utter disbelief and betrayal on his brother's face and murder in his eyes. He closed his eyes in anguish. He only looked down at Damon, when he asked furiously. "What the hell did you do?"

Before he could answer, Klaus did it for him.

"He's just earned his freedom." Klaus looked into his eyes and said, "Thank you, my friend. You no longer have to do as I say. You're free."

As soon as the compulsion was removed and his humanity was back, he felt like he'd been hit by a ton of bricks. Stark terror and utter helplessness washed over him, as he realized what he had done in the last months. As everything came back, it almost shattered him. He tried to kill Elena countless times and he almost drained her. If it hadn't been for Damon, she would have been dead and all because he couldn't control his thirst. He closed his eyes in misery, when he remembered how he behaved with everyone. Damon tried to bring him back, tried to help him in every way possible, but he was high on human blood.

He had always known that Damon was in love with Elena. With everything he had done to her, he'd just pushed her towards Damon more. She's always told him that she didn't love Damon, but he knew that she had always loved him. And now, he could positively say, that she was in love with his brother. He won't be surprised if she hated him, he hated himself too. And after today, he knew his brother hated him as well. It wouldn't matter if someone would kill him right now. He had nothing left to live for.

No. it wasn't his fault. None of it was. He tried, had fought tooth and nail to keep his love and his brother safe. Klaus was the one who compelled him to turn his humanity off. He was the one who took away every good thing he had worked for. It was like an epiphany and he decided that he would take his revenge. He won't kill Klaus. No, he would take-away the only thing he's ever cared about. His family!

He couldn't go back to his house. Couldn't face the look of accusation he would have to face. Katherine was leaving town and asked him to join her, but he didn't want that. He had to stay in Mystic Falls, if he wanted to destroy Klaus. That was his only aim. So, he decided to go to the last place he could think of.

Athena's Pov

To say that she was shocked to see who was standing on her door, at this time of the night, would have been an understatement. Her brows furrowed when she looked at him. He looked wary, haggard and worn-out.

"Can I come in?" He asked in a whisper.

She nodded her head and invited him in. He sat on the recliner and stared at fireplace transfixed.

She sat on her knees in front on him, looked into his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

EN: I know this was a short chapter, but it was necessary to end it here. I would probably post the next one early. There wasn't much to do in this one, but it was necessary for the plot. You'll see why, soon.

And, I hope you liked it. Thank You for all your love.
