A/N: Welcome to nights angels, cathrineoriginal, & caseylu who have just recently followed & or added The Wayward Salvatore to their favorite list. Also in this chapter it's still the same day as the ending of the previous chapter (A Demeter & and Original), only that it's afternoon now and not morning.
Hopefully in about a chapter or two all of the Original children will be coming to play. So stay tuned cause Gabriella, her sister, and Sam aren't the only Demeter witches to cross have crossed paths with an Original. Hope you enjoy the read =)
3rd POV
Back at the abandoned witch house Stefan just stands in a corner of the basement and stares at the four coffins that are in his charge. As he contemplates and obsess over the one particular coffin that is magically sealed shut. After about a few minutes the younger Salvatore brother suddenly hears the front door open which is then immediately followed by the sound of steps.
Peering over at the stairs, Stefan immediately spots Damon after his descent into the basement.
"What do want Damon?" asked a less than enthusiastic Stefan.
"Whoa brother I come in peace." Stated Damon as he walked over to Stefan with both hands slightly raised in the air as a sign of conceding. "So, where are we on the magically sealed coffin?" asked Damon genuinely.
Without changing his demeanor Stefan a suspicious look now plagued the younger Salvatore's face as he ponders over reason for Damon's visit.
"Bonnie's still following up on some leads." Answered Stefan before leaving his dark corner and proceeding over to Damon. "So now how about we drop the small talk and you tell me why you're really here." Stated Stefan
With a telling grin Damon turns to face Stefan. "What, can't a guy stop by and see how his brother's scheming is coming along?" asked Damon jokingly.
"Damon." Said Stefan with no amusement present in his tone of facial expression.
Realizing that his brother was on to him Damon finally decides to spill the beans.
"Ok so here's the thing, Samantha might have been abducted by Klaus." Explained Damon
"Might have been?" asked a now skeptical Stefan
"Well it's not like I went over to his place and asked, Hey I'm looking for Samantha you haven't by any chance kidnapped her have you?" countered Damon in a mocking tone.
"Then how do you know he even has her?" asked Stefan with a mocking smile
"Let's just say I know, now what are we going to do about it?" asked Damon with a quick raise and lower of his brow.
Following a light chuckle Stefan responded, "I'm not going to do anything, this is your problem Damon."
With his facial expression now taking to a serious look Damon now meant business as he didn't find his baby brother's last comment all that funny.
"You can stop with the act now Stefan." Pointed out Damon
"This isn't act brother. You see my only concern is finding a way to get that coffin open so that I can finally kill Klaus. Other than that nothing else matters to me." Declared Stefan
"I don't buy it Stefan!" said Damon with a great amount of angst to his tone. "You can't just keep flipping your emotions on & off like a child playing around with a light switch. Their either on or off there is no mid way point!" declared Damon as he was getting a bit tired of his brother's on and off again mood swings. "Now are you going to help me save Sam or not?"
"You know what I think I'll pass." Smiled Stefan.
After grinding his teeth and looking at his brother with disgust Damon quickly turns proceeds to take his leave of the basement.
"He's not going to hurt her Damon, not while I still have his family. Be smart." Said Stefan just as Damon began making his way up the stairs.
Stopping on the middles of the stairs Damon looks back at his younger brother and asks, "And what happens if you're wrong Stefan, are you really willing to stake her life on this little claim of yours?" asked Damon. Following a brief moment of silence and Stefan's facial expression Damon then turned back around and proceed to exit the old abandoned witch house.
Sam's POV
"What are you deaf or hard of hearing?! I said I can't use magic and I mean I can't use magic." I argued for like the hundredth time.
"And I said I don't believe you. I mean what kind of a witch can't use magic?" asked a now frustrated Klaus
"I don't know, maybe this one right here. Besides I never told you I was a witch, you assumed that I was. And in assuming, you've just made an ass out of yourself." I shot back in protest.
With a tightening of the jaw and a narrowing of the eyes, Klaus then shot me a pretty murderous look. That I have to admit sent ice cold shivers running down my spine. And at that moment I quickly reminded myself that I wasn't at home arguing with Damon, but was being held captive by a murderous vampire hybrid. Who at as his leisure could have me killed in a heartbeat. And that is why I've now decided to watch what I say from here on out towards the homicidal maniac. Because something tells me that if don't start minding my manners around this guy that I'm going to be in for a world of hurt.
"If I were you love I wouldn't push your luck. Especially seeing as the only reason for me wanting to keep you alive was solely dependent on your ability to wield magic." replied Klaus in the darkest of tones before then turning and heading for exit. Then just before he was out the door the original hybrid stopped & turned back towards me. "Oh and just in case you were wondering, you've just went from being a valuable asset to collateral damage. So if I were you love, I'd try not to get on my bad side. I have a nasty temper." taunted Klaus with a smug grin now visibly plastered on his face.
3rd POV
It was now after three and back at the Salvatore house Damon was stock piling hunter weapons in to a black duffle bag while he and Alaric discussed their current predicament.
"Wait a second you think Klaus has Sam?" asked a now shocked & very worry full Alaric.
"Where have you been this entire conversation?" shot back Damon with a confused look on his face. "That's all I've been saying for like the last fifteen minutes."
"What are you basing this all on Damon?" asked Alaric as he wanted to make sure that his overly impulsive drinking buddy had actual proof and wasn't just going off of a gut feeling. Especially seeing as the eldest Salvatore was gearing up to go storm Klaus's castle all by his lonesome.
Insulted by Ric's previous question Damon stops stock piling his duffle bag and instantly shoots the history teacher a look. "Oh I don't know Ric, how about the fact that no one's seen or heard from Samantha since yesterday. Oh and then there's the fact that I found all her training equipment next to a blood soaked tree trunk out in the woods where you take her and Elena to train. Add all of that and the fact that there was an obvious struggle out there and you'll see this has Klaus and his Hybrids all over it.
"Then what was Sam's bike doing in the driveway?" asked Alaric
"It's it obvious, Klaus must have had one of his minions drive the damn thing over here to throw us off." Defended Damon
With Damon's proof seeming somewhat concrete and overly believable all Alaric could do was fold his arms and release a stress filled sigh. "Ok well if that's the case then why isn't Stefan here, or better yet why not just give Klaus his family back?" asked Alaric as he couldn't understand why if Klaus had Sam, wasn't the Salvatore brothers working together in order to bring her home.
"Because Stefan sees Klaus kidnapping Sam as a sign of desperation, and in some weird Stefan logic that I don't quite follow. Stefan seems overly confident that Klaus won't kill her so long as he still has Klaus's extended family hidden away. Plus revenge Stefan would rather die than give Klaus his coffins back.
"Yea well at the rate he's going he might just get his wish." Added Alaric in reference to Stefan rather dying than handing Klaus back his coffins. "Now Damon this still doesn't explain how you intend on getting Samantha away from Klaus and his hybrids. I mean you're just one man going up against an Original and his army. Let me come with you Damon."
"No, if you come then I not only have to worry about Samantha but about you as well. Besides after how long it took for you to come back after being run over by that hybrid. It's a safe bet that you're ring is on its last legs and the last thing I need is Elena and everyone else getting mad at me for letting you die on my watch." said Damon just as he zipped up his duffle bag after just getting done stock piling it with weapons.
Sam's POV
Upon finding out that I was unable to do magic Klaus's interest me quickly vanished, and though I was happy about that I couldn't help but also feel a bit uneasy. Especially seeing as the Original Hybrid has been constantly shooting me dirty looks throughout the day. But other than that for the most part everything seemed like it would be ok for me, at least for today anyways.
As Klaus, his hybrids, and a few compelled human contractors continued on with the renovation of his mansion. Now as they were doing that I was just sitting somewhere off to the side hoping that I'd get out of this alive while at the same time contemplating on whether or not I should have explained to Klaus why it is I am unable to use magic. Now I know some of you think that I'm crazy for thinking this but based off of what Bonnie said we needed a stronger witch to break the seal my mother placed on my powers, and seeing as the Originals seem to have witches by the dozen. I couldn't help but wonder if telling Klaus why I actually couldn't use magic would be more beneficial to me than just having think that I wasn't magical at all.
As I pondered over this idea I suddenly noticed that Klaus was no longer working and that he seemed rather worked up over something. A few seconds after I noticed a Klaus I heard the sound of a gunshot which not to long after was followed up by three of Klaus's hybrids dragging in a somewhat bettered Damon.
Immediately after seeing the condition in which Damon was in I instinctually said "Oh my god Damon." before then rushing towards the injured Salvatore. Only too then have Klaus vampire speed in front of me.
"Not so fast love." Said Klaus to me before then turning to face Damon.
"Sam." Muttered the badly battered Damon.
"Damon, mate, I have to say I'm a little disappointed. I mean here I thought we had an understanding. You get Stefan to give me back my coffins and every in return I let you and your pathetic bunch live happily ever after. And yet here you are attacking me at home all for the sake of one little girl. Oh well." Taunted Klaus before then singling for his hybrids to kill Damon.
Seeing this I attempted to rush pass Klaus in hopes of getting to Damon, but the overly powerful Original easily thwarted by advancement by quickly firmly grabbing a hold of my throat with his right hand.
"I guess you didn't understand me when I said not to push your luck. Well let me help you better help you understand me love." Said Klaus in a murderous undertone as then began applying pressure to my windpipe.
Just as all seemed lost I heard a familiar voice yell out "Let them go!"
Turning my gaze from Klaus to the entryway I instantly spotted Stefan.
"Well would you look at this; it's a Salvatore family reunion." Joked Klaus as he looked over Stefan, Damon, and I. After signaling for the hybrids to now kill Damon Klaus quickly turned his attention back to Stefan.
"I said let them go Klaus." Stated Stefan
"You know I'm rather surprised you're still in town. I gave you your freedom, you could have gone anywhere." said Klaus as he completely ignored Stefan's last statement.
"I live here, Klaus." Responded Stefan as he slowly proceeded towards the hybrids.
"Well, if we're playing this game, then... I was here first." Grinned Klaus before then saying, "Ok mate that's rather close enough. I mean you wouldn't me and my hybrids to get the wrong idea now would you?" asked Klaus as he applied far greater pressure to my already aching windpipe.
"Let them go Klaus otherwise I'm going to dump your entire family in the pacific." Declared Stefan
"You see, if you continue to threaten me, I'm gonna be forced to retaliate. Kill people. And things will start to get messy again." Stated Klaus. As he then displayed his point by applying so much pressure to my throat that I suddenly began to make chocking sounds.
At this point in time I could no longer keep up with their conversation as I was now on the verge of blacking out, and sadly enough not matter how much I struggled I couldn't break free. It pained me to feel so helpless, so weak. Then at that moment a sudden overwhelming rush washed over my entire body, and almost instantly I knew what it was. As I had felt this feelings a few times before, like the time I woke up after my ear death experience at the hands of Luca, and the other time was when I struck Tyler lighting. But unlike those times I wasn't going to try and fight it, nor was I going to try an attempt to understand it. I was just going to let it flow through me seeing as if I ever truly needed this power it was at this very minute.
As I allowed this awe inspiring sensation to over take me, I couldn't help but feel connected to everything in nature, as I was experiencing things in a way I'd never experienced them before.
Lost in myself and the feeling I was experiencing, I barely noticed when the windows in Klaus's mansion suddenly shattered. Which happened just as the front door busted open and powerful gust of wind raged on throughout the house. Immediately following that phenomenon the house then began to shake.
I could see the looks of shock and confusion that now plagued everyone's face as I continued on with this almost out of body experience. It was then that I saw Klaus turn his gaze on me, and from his eye's alone I could tell that he knew what all was happening was because of me. And with that I saw the corners of his lips cover upwards as his signature grin now stretched across his face, as he was pleased with what he was witnessing.
After a few quick minutes the house finally stopped shaking and the powerful gust quickly subsided but I knew that, that wasn't all to come. It's hard to explain but though it felt like I was trapped within my own body, it was like I was still in control of everything without actually being in control. I know sounds crazy but that's the best I can explain it.
"So much for not being able to use magic huh Demeter witch?" asked Klaus
Following his question I instantly began to feel an uncontrollable rage fester from deep within me and it was then that I knew what was coming next. Allowing the rage to fester to its boiling point I closed my eyes and allowed granted my powers full range as I was its tool.
Stefan's POV
After the wind subsided and the house stopped shaking I began to hear the faint and distant sound of electricity when in sparks.
Looking in to Sam's eyes I could see that she wasn't there. She had a completely blank expression on her face which didn't last for very long on account of her closing her eyes. Immediately after her eyes closed the faint static sound that I had picked up on was now growing louder in sound.
"What's that noise?" asked one of Klaus's hybrids
It took me a while to place it but I finally remembered where I had heard that sound before. Both Damon and I had heard that sound just before Sam had woken up after being stabbed twice by the Martin witch named Luca. Which coincidentally enough was just before me and Damon was sent flying clear across the room by what seemed to be an electrical discharge that erupted from Samantha's body.
And just like that I knew what was coming next. Not knowing how much time I had until Samantha blew; I rushed over to where the three hybrids were holding Damon down. I quickly drove my fist through the back of the nearest hybrid and ripped her heart out. With the other two now caught off guard Damon pushes himself up off the floor and snaps the neck of the hybrid on his left.
Right after that Samantha's eyes shot open so reacting quickly I threw a kick at the last hybrid's midsection sending him crashing to the floor. With the hybrids out of the way I hastily grabbed a hold of Damon's left shoulder and vamp speed behind one of the work tables. Making sure to flip it over so that it would provide cover for both Damon and I. Not a second after I did that did Sam release a huge electrical discharge. Though we were protected from the blast the sheer force of it was still strong enough to move me, Damon, and the flipped over table a few feet.
When the discharge ended I got to my feet and instantly began searching for Samantha. It didn't take very long for me to find her and when I did I saw that she was lying lifeless on the floor directly across from Klaus with her both her eyes open.
Using my vamp speed I got to her and scooped her up into my arms before then vamp speeding out of Klaus's mansion with Damon not far behind.
Sam's POV
As I lay on the floor directly across from Klaus I looked over to see that the Original Hybrid was staring at me with both anger and awe in his eyes. And though I was a bit happy to see him like he was my entire body ached in pain, but I was too drained to do anything about it. And so I just laid there staring back Klaus who as luck would have it was stunned after my attack due to him being hit by the worst of it.
As I laid there completely unable to move I suddenly felt a strong pair of hands scoop into an equally strong pair of arms, and I instantly felt safe and secured… at least for now.
