"Well, have you ever tried Locating them?"Elena asked, looking at Elijah. The two had stopped eating after Elena started wondering if Elijah's Sibling were at the bottom of the sea floor.
"I haven't."Elijah said calmly and Elena nodded in understanding.
What would even be the point of doing a Locator Spell to begin with if his Siblings were at the bottom of the sea floor. While it wouldn't give him their exact location, because the ocean blocks where they are, so how would he get them out if he did manage to find them? Vampires didn't need air to survive but that didn't mean the coldest of waters don't affect their bodies.
"There's this Spell that Grams taught me."Elena spoke up after a few minutes of thinking."It's like a Locator Spell, except I don't need to use blood. I just have to use a personal Item. To be perfectly honest, it's like looking for a link, a connection, or something."Elena shrugged weakly.
"But will it find my Siblings?"Elijah asked seriously.
"Yes and no. It finds them, but it won't give me an exact location."Elena explained at Elijah's confused look."I think the Dagger would be the best object to use..."The Witch trailed off thoughtfully but seemed to believe that the Dagger would be the best thing to use."Do you want to do it now?"Elijah glanced down at his dinner then at Elena.
"Only if you've finished."Elijah gestured to the remains of her dinner.
"I'm full."Elena said, ready to do the Spell.
"You go get everything you need ready for the Spell, I'll clean up."Elijah stated.
Elena nodded and headed upstairs to grab everything she needed, including the Dagger that Elijah put in his desk drawer. Heading back downstairs to the kitchen and sat down at the counter with Elijah standing opposite her.
He watched as she set the two candles out in front of her and lit them with her Magic."Phasmatos Tribum,"Elena started to chant, closing her eyes as she held the Dagger horizontally, on the palms of her hands."Nas Ex Veras,"The Dagger started to glow softly."Sequitas Sanguinem."Instead of seeing anything, not even any water from the Spell's affects of normally seeing a vision, Elena felt a weak Cloaking Spell."They're Cloaked."Elena said as she opened her eyes and looked up at Elijah as the candles went out."But I don't think they're at the bottom of the ocean."Elena added when she saw Elijah frown and put down the Dagger.
At hearing that Elijah smiled hopefully and gratefully as he leaned across the counter and kissed her gently on the lips in thanks for putting his mind in semi-peace. Pulling away, Elena suddenly looked thoughtful.
"What is it?"Elijah asked softly as Elena stood up and he appeared in front of her.
"They're alive, Elijah."Elijah's eyes narrowed and he pursed his lips."And I know how much your word means to you but I would understand if you chose not to go through with killing Klaus... Because at the end of the day, he's still your Brother, not matter what."
A soft sigh left Elijah's lips and he leaned his forehead against Elena's."My Brother is a lot of things, my Lovely Elena."Elijah mumbled and suddenly looked thoughtful."I won't go back on my word to not hand over the Elixir to your Sister, but I never promised anyone I would kill Niklaus after they killed me."
"So what are you gonna do?"Elena asked, frowning.
"Test him."
"How?"
"I could prepare myself to rip his heart out and if I'm correct, Niklaus' need for self preservation will appear and he will tell me the truth."
The next morning, Elena found herself sitting in a seat opposite her twin and Stefan while Elijah stood by her side and Damon was nowhere to be seen, unsurprisingly since he acted like a jerk the other day.
"Tonight is a Full Moon."Elijah stated."We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the Curse."
"Emily said that the Sun and Moon Curse is fake."Stefan stated."That it's actually just a Curse placed on Klaus."He stated questionably.
"Klaus is a Vampire born of a Werewolf Bloodline."Elijah answered."The Curse has kept his Werewolf aspect from manifesting."Elijah explained."But if he breaks it, he'll be a true Hybrid."He added in a calm but serious voice causing Emily to sigh and Stefan to nod.
"Then why are we letting him break the Curse?"Damon asked as he walked into the room and Elena rolled her eyes as she glanced at him."We can kill him today."Damon stated arrogantly.
"Or we get our selves killed today, but if you want to kill yourself Damon be my guest."Elena retorted, causing Damon to sneer at her.
"With Bonnie."Damon stated as if Bonnie was the answer to everything."And your Witchy Twin Sister."Damon gestured to Elena, who crossed her arms and frowned while Elijah shifted, unnoticeable, slightly on the heels of his feet, his stance becoming protective without anyone noticing."She's on the same level as Bonnie."Damon added and Elena scoffed.
"Damon."Stefan hissed out.
"No. Bonnie can't use that much power without dying."Emily said, not wanting her best friend to die because of her."And there is no way my Sister is using that much power either, she could die as well."
"I'll write them a great eulogy."Damon retorted.
"No thanks, I rather have Caroline do that. At least she wouldn't mess it up."Elena grumbled and Damon glared at her.
"It's not an option, Damon."Emily spoke up sharply. Her tone told Damon that this was her final decision and to drop the idea, causing him to glare at her.
"All right, how do we break this Curse?"Stefan decided to ask the question no one wanted the answers to or to answer said question.
"The Ritual itself is relatively straightforward."Elijah answered."The ingredients, so to speak, you already know."
"The Moonstone."
"A Witch will Channel the power of the Full Moon to release the Spell that's bound within the Stone."Elijah added."After that, Klaus, being both Werewolf and Vampire, will sacrifice one of each."
"And where do I fit in to it?"Emily asked.
"The final part of the Ritual."Elijah stated as Elena got up and grabbed the box Elijah had brought with them."Klaus must drink the blood of the Doppelganger to the point of your death."
"And that's where you come in."Emily stated after Stefan grabbed her hand in his, and Elena opened the box and picked up an ancient looking glass made of china.
"This is an Elixir that I acquired some five hundred years ago for Katerina."Elijah stated as Elena looked Potion over."It possesses Mystical Properties of Resuscitation."He explained coolly.
"So I'll be dead?"Emily asked slowly.
"And then you won't."Elena and Elijah said in unison, making Emily's eyes widen.
"That's your plan?"Damon asked in disbelief as Elena put the Elixir back in it's case."A Magical Witch Potion with no expiration date?"He exclaimed before turning to Emily."You wanna come back to life, what about John's Ring?"He questioned.
"Those Rings only work on Humans."Elijah stated, knowing fully well that the Rings wouldn't work, because Emily, like Elena is an Untriggered Werewolf."A Doppelganger is a Supernatural Occurrence. Odds are the ring won't work."Elena nodded in confirmation when the trio glanced at her.
"I'll take those odds over your Elixir."Damon retorted."Or better yet, why not use Witchy there in the Ritual and you bring her back to life with your Elixir."
"Because Klaus knows that I'm a Witch, remember?"Elena said sarcastically and rolled her eyes."He has Katherine, who has been compelled to tell him everything, so let me ask you this, how do make him believe that I'm my twin, who has long hair, and will never cut it as short as I have cut mine, and will go through with the Ritual?"
Damon openly groaned at her logic and when Stefan and Emily nodded in agreement with her."What if it doesn't work, Emily?"Damon questioned the Human Doppelganger softly.
"Then I guess I'll just be dead."Emily stated and now it was Elena's turn to groan, knowing that was the wrong answer to give, not only Damon, but Stefan as well.
"Wha-?"Damon cut himself off and looked at Stefan, who glanced away, questionably.
"Nicely done, Little Sister."Elena stated coolly after Damon left and Emily sighed.
"Do we know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this?"Emily asked."Does he have a Werewolf?"
"Klaus has been waiting to break this Curse for over a thousand years."Elijah stated."If he doesn't already have a Werewolf, my guess is by tonight, he will."Elijah said, looking between them.
After a few minutes, Stefan left to talk to Damon, leaving the trio inside."You'd think he'd understand why I'm willing to do this."Emily stated as she touched the Elixir and started to fidget with it before Elena took it from her, annoyed.
"Why are you?"Elijah asked curiously.
"I'm the key to breaking the Curse."Emily said as if it was obvious."Klaus is here because of me. If I don't stop him, then he's gonna hurt people."Emily looked at Elena as she said that."It's that simple."
"You know there is a possibility this Elixir won't work."Elijah stated."I don't want to mislead you, for the sake of your Sister."He glanced at Elena when he said that.
"I know the chance I'm taking."Emily stated.
"That's great."Elena said sarcastically.
"I don't get you at times, Elena."Elena raised an eyebrow at her twin."You hate me, yet you care about the fact that I'm going to die when you said you'd gladly see me dead by Klaus' hands."
"People say things they don't mean in anger, Emily. I needed Elijah and you killed him. I reacted badly."Elena stated cryptically, causing Emily to frown.
Before Emily could say anything they heard Jenna shout;"Get out."
"Jenna. Jenna."Came Alaric's voice and the trio glanced at one another.
"Get out!"
"Jenna, put the crossbow down, ok?"Jenna holding a crossbow, pointed at Alaric, who was up against the wall, was the scene the group came upon."It's me."
"Stay away from me."Jenna hissed.
"What's going on?"Emily asked warily.
"It's me, Emily. I swear, ok."Alaric said to Emily."He let me go. Klaus let me go."He explained.
"Prove it."Damon stated.
"Ok. Uh, the first night you and I spent together, Jeremy walked in-Ok, it's him."Jenna cut in and Elena grimaced.
"I pity Jeremy."Elena mumbled."By the way, TMI, Alaric. TMI."Alaric blushed in embarrassment as did Jenna.
"Why'd he let you go?"Stefan asked, thankfully changing the subject.
"He wanted me to deliver a message."Alaric said grimly."The Sacrifice happens tonight."Everyone looked at each other before looking at Elijah and Elena, who stared back at them emotionlessly.
After a few minutes, the group returned to the living room, where Elena sat in the armchair with Elijah standing next to her, Stefan was pacing, with his back turned to Emily and Jenna, who were on the couch, in front of Alaric, who was sitting on the couch opposite Jenna and Emily.
"So you don't remember anything that happened?"Stefan asked Alaric, just to be sure.
"No."Alaric said honestly."It's like I blacked out, and woke up three days later."He stated."Katherine was there."He added.
"She's under Compulsion. Damon snuck her some Vervain."Stefan stated."But she can't leave till Klaus tells her she can."
"Where is Damon?"Emily suddenly asked, noticing that Damon wasn't in the room.
"I saw him go upstairs."Jenna spoke up and Emily left to go talk to him.
"So, what else did I do?"Alaric asked, glancing between the three people he knew the most and got a hostile look from Jenna, a shrug from Elena, and a sigh from Stefan.
"It's a long story."Stefan grumbled and started explaining what happened.
He wasn't even half way into explaining what Klaus had done in Alaric's body when he suddenly paused and took off upstairs at Vampire Speed. Jenna, Elena, and Alaric shared a confused look before they got up when they heard the commotion upstairs.
Elijah, meanwhile, knowing Elena could take care of herself around Damon, decided to stay downstairs, seeing as this was something that didn't really concern him unless Elena was involved, which she wasn't directly involved.
"Go, get out of here!"They heard Emily exclaim, her voice shaky and sounding upset.
"What the hell is going on?"Alaric asked as he and Jenna came into the room while Elena decided to hang back in the hallway.
"Get him out of here."Emily said, not looking at Alaric.
"Oh, my god."Jenna said when she saw what was wrong with Stefan and Alaric went to grab Damon but he flinched away when Damon turned his furious gaze on him before leaving.
"Ok, Jenna, in the basement are some blood-bags."Alaric said, turning his attention to Jenna."Go get them now. Go."Jenna ran out of the room and past Damon, who had paused in front of Elena.
"Seriously, what is wrong with you?"Elena asked Damon, who stared back at her."The Elixir would have worked. I checked it. But no, you don't trust anything anyone says about this kind of stuff unless you try your way first. It's always gotta be your way, doesn't it, Damon?"Elena snapped at him."Why do you have to be so impulsive-HMMH!"Elena was cut off by Damon suddenly kissing her on the mouth.
