I am so sorry that this took so long but I tried writing several Episodes... I skipped to this Episode just because it was easier for me... Anyway, hope you'll like it.
What do you want to happen when Rae meets Castiel and Uriel in later chapters? Will she meet them?
Enjoy,
Nick
The day of the ritual had come faster than any of us expected. By now, Gabriel had left to continue his 'work' as Loki, while Sam called a week ago to tell me that he was hunting with Jo now. Not that I blamed him… I would have probably gone crazy by now if this town wasn't so full of craziness and adventure. It was almost like being on a Hunt, just… Well, less hunting and more lying.
Alaric and Stefan had picked Elijah and me up from my house, bringing us to the old Witch House "The sacrifice is completed in stages as the full moon sets. First, the werewolf is killed, then the vampire. Finally, the Doppelgänger. Once Elena dies, the curse will be broken. Klaus will become a Hybrid," Elijah explained while we were walking across the yard towards the house.
Alaric frowned "So… When do we attack?"
"Elena's death will activate his dormant werewolf side," the Original pointed out, wrapping his arm around my waist "He'll be vulnerable during the transformation. That's when Bonnie comes in."
"And you're sure Bonnie will survive this?" Stefan questioned quietly, looking between Elijah and me distrustfully.
Elijah smirked "If she can deliver him to the brink of death, I'll finish the job myself."
At that moment, Stefan's phone rang and he walked away to answer it. I glanced up at Elijah with a small smile "I'll go to the Quarry. Keep an eye on things," I murmured, leaning up to kiss my boyfriend's lips gently.
"Be careful," the older Mikaelson breathed against my lips "And stay out of sight. I don't want you anywhere near this, Sama."
"Alright. I'll see you later." I nodded to Alaric and spread my wings, landing in a tree close to the three rings of fire in the clearing quietly." I watched Elena talk to her aunt who was kneeling in another circle. I didn't really like the idea of Niklaus using the older woman for his purposes… Maybe I could do something about this. There was a vampire that was on my little black list. She was one of the worst bitches out there, worse than Katerina and worse than Nik when he went on a rampage. I closed my eyes and mentally searched for the vampire. I found her just as Greta – Nik's witch – pushed Jules down to the ground, making a third ring of fire around the curled up werewolf.
"What do you want?" the bitch snarled when I appeared in front of her.
I smirked "Your services are needed," I told her, grabbing her arm. When she went to fight, I quickly snapped her neck. I lifted her body up and reappeared just outside the Quarry, throwing her down at Nik's feet "I said I'll let you do the ritual but not with her." I pointed to Jenna "Use her instead. She's one of the worst of your kind and deserves to die a very painful death."
"Why would I do that, love?" the Hybrid tilted his head "You might be my brother's girlfriend but that doesn't give you the right…"
"I don't care. I can disguise her as Jenna if you want, switch them," I murmured "But I won't allow you to use Jenna. She just found out about all this…"
Nik sighed and ran a hand through his hair "Alright. You win, Samael. Switch them without the Doppelgänger noticing and then hide."
I nodded and bent down to put the illusion on the vampire at my feet, making her look like Jenna. Within five minutes, I was back in the tree. Jenna was at her house, sleeping while the look-alike was in the ring of fire.
Nik walked up to Jules, smirking down at her "Shall we?" he questioned. The ring around the werewolf disappeared. As soon as it was gone, Jules used her werewolf speed to rush at Niklaus. In under a minute, Nik got the upper hand, pinning down the werewolf to rip out the girl's heart. He walked over to Greta, holding the heart over the ceremonial bowl, squeezing blood into the flames "Does that mean it's working?"
"It's working," the witch nodded.
The Hybrid sauntered back towards the two rings, smirking at the half-conscious vampire in the ring. He might not know why I wanted her dead but he wasn't going to argue "Hello, Jenna."
"Let her go," Elena shouted, walking closer to the flames "I understand that I have to die but she doesn't." The ring around her flared up, causing the girl to stumble back.
"Careful," Niklaus warned sarcastically.
Elena shook her head, glaring at the Hybrid in front of her "No, Jenna! We can't leave Jeremy without a family. I followed your rules. I did everything that you asked. I didn't run… Please."
I was about to step forward when Stefan arrived at the top of the Quarry, so I pressed back, watching them argue. I didn't need to hear them to know what they were talking about. Stefan wanted to take 'Jenna's' place in the ritual to spare Elena the heartbreak. How fucking cute was that? Nik sped around Stefan, quickly staking him in the back "I have other plans for your boyfriend," he announced, snapping the younger Salvatore's neck "I want him alive… Whenever you're ready, Greta."
The witch started her chant again, dispelling the barrier around 'Jenna' "No," Elena cried, tears streaming down her face. If she wasn't as much of a spoilt brat as she was, I could almost feel sorry for her. What would father say if he saw me like this? Watching someone suffer… It took me about a century to stop feeling pity for most humans. While not all of them were bad, they were flawed… Lucifer definitely had a point there but that didn't mean that we were better. Several of my siblings killed me just as humans kill each other. It was just the way we were created. Imperfectly.
"Your turn," Niklaus announced, flipping the disguised Jenna onto her back, staking her in the heart. Elena really started crying now, watching the vampire's body become grey and decay. Nik released the stake from his grip, standing up as Greta began chanting the next part of the spell. The witch poured the vampire's blood into the ceremonial bowl. Niklaus smirked at the girl's nod and stalked over to the Doppelgänger "It's time." The circle of fire disappeared from around Elena. Niklaus extended his hand toward her but the girl just got up, walking past Nik. Elena made her way to the altar, looking down at the vampire's body. The illusion was slowly fading but the girl didn't seem to notice. She seemed pretty oblivious in general… Nik followed her up to the altar, grabbing the Doppelgänger's face in his hands. Below them, Stefan struggled to get up from the ground "Thank you, Elena," Nik murmured, biting into her neck, draining the girl's blood. I watched as Elena's eyelids fluttered, her eyes rolling back into her head as she died. When she was void of any blood, Nik released her and Elena fell to the ground "I can feel it," he called out, spreading his arms in glee "It's happening." Niklaus looked up at the full moon with longing as his bones began to crack "Yes, yes…"
Suddenly, he was thrown through the air. Bonnie appeared, chanting loudly. I smirked at the scene and appeared next to Elijah, grabbing his hand. Show time. Bonnie continued to chant the spell which caused Niklaus to scream in pain, lying against the rocks. Elijah and I approached him, careful not to show our true intentions.
"Elijah?" Nik question, a hint of fear in his voice.
His older brother smirked "Hello, brother." He punched his arm into Niklaus' chest, grabbing a hold of his heart "In the name of our family, Niklaus…"
"I didn't bury them at sea," the Hybrid shouted, pain showing on his face. I was standing behind them, watching the witch and the Salvatore closely "Their bodies are safe. If you kill me, you'll never find them."
Stefan took a small step forward "Elijah! Don't listen to him."
"Elijah… I can take you to them," Nik 'persuaded' "I give you my word… brother."
Bonnie's face twisted into a grimace "Do it and I'll take you both out."
"You'll die," I pointed out.
She shook her head "I don't care."
Elijah looked down at his brother and hen back to the two from the Scooby Gang "I'm sorry." He grabbed his brother's arm and disappeared through the flames.
I smirked at the kids and followed the two Originals. When I found them, Nik already transformed, chewing on some campers "Well, he seems to enjoy himself," I snorted, wrapping my arms around Elijah's waist.
"More for me to clean up," he sighed "But I am… glad that he has finally unlocked his werewolf side."
Once the wolf moved on from the corpses, I snapped my fingers, making them disappear "You're welcome, love."
The older Mikaelson blinked before raising my chin to press a sweet kiss to my lips "Thank you."
I was about to open my mouth when my phone rang "It's Bobby," I mumbled when I checked the screen. I looked up at the dark sky and back down at my phone "Bobby? What's wrong?"
"Dean's back," the old Hunter said almost immediately.
"What?" I breathed "But… How?"
Bobby sighed "I have no idea… Could you maybe join us? We're trying to find out what happened."
I glanced up at Elijah who nodded "Sure. Your house or…?"
"Do you remember Pam?" Bobby questioned "The psychic in Pontiac?"
"What about her?" I asked.
"She might be able to find out what brought Dean back. Meet us there?"
I closed my eyes for a moment before I sighed "Okay. I'll be there soon. Wait for me at her house."
"I'll see you then." Then he hung up.
I slipped my phone back into my pocket and leaned my head against Elijah's chest "Dean's back from the dead," I mumbled to myself.
"That's good, right?" the Original frowned.
"Normally, yes. But there's something weird about this…" I sighed "You're fine on your own?"
Elijah nodded, leaning down to capture my lips in a rough kiss "Be careful."
"I always am," I grinned cheekily, wrapping my arms around his neck to kiss him again "I'll be back as soon as I can."
