Never Saw It Coming
Elena let out a breathy laugh as she surveyed the damage. It was over. It was finally over. Elena hugged the closest person to her, which just so happened to be Klaus. She jumped up wrapping her legs around his waist while giving him a hug, still laughing as she did so. "What's so funny, love?" Klaus peered confusedly down at the doppelgänger that was latched on to him. "It's over!" Was all she said while squeezing him closer to her. "Oh, it's far from over..." Elena's head shot toward the sound of Kol's voice and saw his mouth agape as he stared in the distance at something. Elena followed his line of vision letting go of Klaus once she saw what Kol was referring to. An extremely large coven of witches were walking toward the victorious group of vampires an hybrids alike. The coven was lead by Genevieve, the auburn haired witch that had blood jacked Klaus and Elena about a couple months ago. On her left was a surprising face. She was in her mid twenties with strawberry blond tresses and peculiar orangish eyes. The woman was Irene. Elena felt a growl rise from the depths of her chest. She could feel the tension in Tyler and the Original siblings as well. The people on Genevieve's other side are less surprising, but still gain a growl from the whole group. Esther and Mikael along with all of the witches stared the group down. the witches easily tripled maybe quadrupled the numbers of the small group that had defeated Marcel's vampires.
"Klaus," Genevieve said stiffly. "Surrender now and no blood has to be shed." Elena ground her teeth together in disgust and fury. "Now, now, Genevieve you should know from being in cahoots with Esther and Mikael that I love blood being shed." Klaus grinned maliciously as he stepped forward slightly. Elena backed him up growling at the witches. "Elena it might be time to call in the Calvary." Kol hissed quietly in her ear. Elena grunted before shifting into her white wolf. She filled her lungs with air before releasing it letting a blood curdling howl fill the air. A beckon to not only her pack, but any wolf that would help.
Elena turned to face the opposing threat as they descended upon the humorlessly outnumbered group. There was no way back up would make it before they were all hung out to dry. Elena kept on a brave front even though she knew it would be useless either way. The witches would bring an end to the group. Elena looked in the now pitch black sky looking to see what the weather might be like when she died. But what she saw have her a spark of hope. A) She had forgotten it was a full moon that night, which meant hybrids were stronger than usual. B) The full moon had just reached its apex. Back up would be here in a matter of minutes.
Fighting commenced, one would think that the witches would immediately use there witchy voodoo brain thingy, but Elena soon realized they were not trying to give anyone a brain aneurism. That she found highly confusing. Elena looked around to see that the odds were beginning to turn in their favor. She let loose a happy yip as she ripped a witches head off with her teeth. Elena looked around for the lead witch in this fight, and saw the red-headed-devil-spawn on the sidelines with the bitch witch Irene and mommy and daddy dearest. She growled lowly as she. Slinked closer to the quartet. They were still unaware of the white she wolf that was stalking them as they surveyed looking at the werewolves and witches, and even a couple hybrids that lay motionless on the ground, blood pooling almost everywhere.
Once she was within pouncing distance she closed in jumping Irene who the others had failed to notice go down. Elena killed her expertly, though the witch hardly fought. Elena shifted into her human form, wrapped her hand around the now dull looking blond tresses holding the head up victoriously.
Blood still dripped from the head as Elena sauntered over to the newly made trio. she wore a canine like grin, with fangs showing, eyes glittering on the verge of being completely gold around her pupil. blood splattered all over, making her look as homicidal as Klaus. Which maybe she was, but she was protecting the ones she loved, and as she'd proven time and time again, she will kill for her family, now that family happened to include the ones she once thought to be her enemy.
She watched the look of absolute horror enter Genevieve's eyes as she noticed Elena standing there holding the head of Irene. "Irene?!" Genevieve's cries rang throughout the flat field. Fighting on the witches end ceased, causing the werewolves to hesitate still eyeing their opponent warily.
"You bitch!" The auburn devil sneered turning her angered expression onto Elena. "Actually She was the bitch." She sniggered lightly, emphasizing the point that she was dead. "She's my sister!" Elena pouted slightly, mockingly almost. Sure she felt bad, but had she not killed the witch first, the witch surely would have tried to kill her. "Was your sister." Elena corrected while tossing the head off to the side. Elena looked toward Mikael and the girl Esther had possessed. She saw that Klaus and Elijah were taking this time to sneak up on their parents. Elena gave them more time, continuing to distract everyone as Elijah and Klaus neared.
She saw them falter slightly while looking at something behind her. Something seriously unexpected came into Elena's vision, she watched as Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Alaric, and to Elena's surprise Katherine and Marcel along with a few of Marcel's remaining groupies appeared.
Elena smirked at the the red headed witch. "It seems that odds are more in our favor." Genevieve's face had a near matching tint of red as her hair. Elena looked at Esther and Mikael. "What I don't understand is how you could kill your children. Shouldn't it be parental instinct to protect them and love them at all costs." She sneered. Esther looked shocked for a moment before the ticking of irritation could be read. "My children have been dead for over a thousand years. All that is left are monsters in my children's skin. Even Elijah who claims to have moral integrity has blatantly murdered thousands upon millions of innocent souls. I am deeply regretful for my part in the upbringing of such abominations."
Elena growled in irritation. How dare she! Elena was snarling as she advanced, barely maintaining human form. "Are you sure you are not the monster here. If not for your ignorance and unfaithfulness lots may not have happened. I do not believe that your children are monsters." No one moved an inch as Elena ranted, while moving forward. "At one point I may have said differently, but as of where I stand today I believe that they are not the monster rather that you all are. You say we murder for the pleasure of it, yet I know of many, no all vampires who as much as they say they love vampirism and embrace it, that they had those days were they would do anything to be human again. Stefan Salvatore, one of my dearest friends fights against his pure animalistic natures every single day because if he doesn't he is so much worse. Rebekah Mikaelson, I now love that girl like a sister, all she ever wanted was someone to love her for who she is, to grow old and have children of her own, but that was all ruined because you forced vampirism on her. My best friend, Caroline Forbes was on death row, and the only thing that could help her was vampire blood, but she was soon forced to become a vampire, though she's one of the good cases." Elena smiled at her blond friend who had been moved to tears by her friends speech. "Every vampire, and hybrid here have their story. But I can tell you one thing, at one point or another they would give anything to be human again. And guess what Esther. It's your fault." With that final word Elena was within pouncing distance of Esther. She took this opportunity to leap, shifting mid air. As if from reflex rather than actual thought Esther raised her hand to bring the white she wolf to her knees.
The wolf paid the witch no heed as she plunged her deadly sharp canines into the witch. Tearing out her insides, organs, intestines laid beside the collapsed body. Mikael roared in undeniable rage before pouncing on Elena's back knocking her off balance. She twisted in the original hunter's firm hold trying to dislodge him. In a second the weight was lifted from her as a large black wolf tackled the original off if her. Elena shook her head slightly wincing in pain as a shooting flash of heat came from her neck. She looked up and saw Tyler and Caroline had cornered Genevieve against a stand alone ashy grey stone wall.
While she was distracted a werewolf had snuck up on her taking her by surprise as she felt nail like claws scraping down her side anchoring her on the spot. Piercing fangs dug into the scruff of her neck dying her coat blood red. Except this time it wasn't the blood of her enemy it was her own. At the first smell of her blood any Were that wasn't locked in combat lunged at her she struggled with fruitless results trying to wriggle free from the wolves that were trying to tear her apart.
Klaus could smell the blood before the first drop landed on the ground with a splash. He twisted Mikael's neck snapping it between his jaws. He'd have to take care of his father later. He turned and saw a pile of savage wolves. the majority were biting and tearing at something. He caught a quick glimpse of white the rest of the pelt was bloodied. Elena. A growl shook the very earth they stood on, but the wolves chose to ignore it. That was mistake number one. Mistake number two was harming the alpha female of his pack and his mate. Tyler, Jessie, Trevor and a few other hybrids were on the Were's faster than lightning. Klaus was not far behind. It was all a frenzy to Klaus. Save Elena was the only thing running through his mind. He would tear out throats, break necks, and gut werewolves in fluent unwavering motions. Soon most were dispatched of the remainder fled from fear of meeting their comrades demise. "TYLER!" A familiar voice shrieked. He turned to the source and saw Caroline draped over the bloodied body of his beta and friend Tyler. Bonnie was in tears looking at her friend. All of the Scooby gang surrounded the body of their fallen friend. Klaus looked at Tyler for a second before turning back to Elena who lay prone in her human form. Carefully he stopped down and picked her up gently; swiftly he rushed over to Tyler setting Elena's crumpled but conscious form next to him. "Tyler!" Elena croaked, but the talking caused her to cough up maroon colored blood. "Elena I'm okay!" Tyler's voice couldn't even reach a decibel above a whisper. Klaus could hear his heart beat slowing, but by the relief on Elena's face he didn't think she caught on to his lie.
"Thank god!" Elena hummed quietly before passing out. Klaus looked at Caroline's teary face. "When she wakes up tell her you sent me somewhere far away and that I'm never coming back. Just please promise me you two that she never finds out about me. That is my dying wish. That girl has lived through so much death and tragedy I'm surprised she is still standing alive. I don't want to have her feeling guilty about something she had no control over." Tyler's voice trailed near the end, and his heart beat was hardly even there. "Tyler don't you dare leave me! I love you!" Caroline cried tears streaming profusely down her face. Klaus could've sworn he saw Tyler's lips curve into the slightest of a grin before it was no longer his body but his corpse. Trevor came and carried Tyler's body back to Klaus' mansion.
No one came out of that battle unscathed but in Klaus' arms was the worst case. Using vamp speed he rushed her into his bed chamber while calling for his pack doctor to make sure she'd survive.
The solemn faces of Elena's friends as well as Elena's hybrid friends trailed into his chambers. "Will she survive?" His youngest hybrid, Jessie asked. "Doc says she has a lot of recovery ahead of her. She's on bed rest for the next four weeks, and cannot shift for the next eight. She is also to be in a stress free environment." Klaus rubbed the back of his neck before looking toward Stefan. "I think it is best if she leaves with you. Mikael and the witches escaped, they will come back. I don't want to put her in harm's way again. But mind this. I will get her again she is mine. She is my mate.
