Chelsy walks into the woods rubbing her eyes. Her hair is in a bun and she has a large red jacket on. It is early in the morning and the sun is rising. Johanna is sitting on a large stump. Her legs are crossed and her eyes are closed. She has her hands centered in front of her and it looks like she is holding an invisible ball.
Chelsy grumbles then walks closer to her best friend, "I am not doing yoga with you." She says crossing her arms.
Johanna opens her eyes, "Xavier taught me to a line my powers. I have to be one with nature in order to have more control over myself."
"This involves me because…"
"In order to really focus on the meditation I cannot have any other thoughts. That includes my fear of a hybrid coming up behind me and attacking me. I just need you to keep watch."
"Why not meditate I don't know… at home" Chelsy states sarcastically.
"I have to be submerged in nature. That is where my power comes from. After I died all my ties with nature were cut off. But Xavier taught me how to meditate as a gypsy and I am gaining more control of the power I am supposed to have."
"Fine. But if I am snappy today. It's your fault."
Johanna nods then goes back to her original position. She closes her eyes, "If I do this right. It should only take a few minutes. Do not come near me if a lose control." She takes a deep breath in and then exhales. Chelsy watched with curiosity.
After only a few seconds a small silver ball of light appeared between Johanna's hands. The ball of light expanded slowly as Johanna started to pull her hands away from each other. Her hands shook ever so slightly the bigger the ball got. The trees start to shake and wind started to pick up around her.
Chelsy stepped back slightly. Suddenly, Johanna's eyes opened and they were bright gold the ball of light expanded to fully surround her. Chelsy gasped and wanted to walk closer to her friend but remembered Johanna's warning. The ball writhed back into Johanna, the winds died down, and Johanna gasped for air. She looked up at Chelsy, her eyes were once again hazel.
"Are you okay?" Chelsy asked coming closer to her friend.
Johanna nodded, "I saw something. I got a vision."
"What was it?"
"I do not really know. It was more of a feeling. Something big is about to happen. There are forces that are going to becoming back into this world that have been dormant for years. They are going to bring suffering, angry hate and…"
"And what Johanna?"
"Death, they will bring so much death."
Line Break
Bonnie walked into the old abandoned witch house slowly. She walks into the basement that holds Klaus's family. All the coffins are there and Bonnie walks towards the fourth coffin. Bonnie opens it, she is expecting Klaus but, finds Johanna in it. Bonnie gasps and quickly checks for a pulse. Johanna's eyes open and they are silver.
Bonnie then see's several visions quickly. She sees Johanna and a unfamiliar man mediating. Johanna's hands shaking rapidly then blasting silver from them. Johanna saying, "it does not just want to kill Klaus, it wants to kill me too." Finally she sees Johanna bare her fangs and then bite into someone's neck.
Bonnie opens her eyes once again and The coffin is filled with ashes.
Bonnie gasps awake.
Line Break
In Alaric's apartment Elena is aggressively punching and kicking a punching bag. Alaric enters and grabs the bag, "Hey, you're gonna put a hole in that thing! You want to talk about it?"
Elena shakes her head, "Nothing to talk about."
Line Break
"So, what's got you all worked up?" Alaric asks while continuing to holding the punching bag.
Elena punched the bag, "I didn't really sleep last night."
"Yeah, me neither. Probably something to do with dying..." Alaric says trying to make light of the morbid event that occurred.
"Are you okay?" she asks genuinely
Alaric nods his head, "Yeah I'm fine, I'm fine. I think the ring, however, is running low on batteries."
"Yeah, that's another reason why Jeremy has to get out of town. If those rings have a shelf life, he is not protected, neither are you." Elena then attacks the bag with all her might.
Alaric stumbles a little. He looks at Elena impressed, "Nice, nice, you're getting stronger."
"I'm just channeling frustration." She then sighs and rubs her forehead, "I need coffee." She walks over to the kitchen counter and takes her gloves.
"Seems Damon's compulsion worked," Alaric states walking closer to her, "Jeremy was packing when I left the house, going on about his new school in Denver."
Elena turns to Alaric, "Have you talked to Damon today?"
"No." Alaric furrows his brows, "Why?" he asks.
"No reason." She states quickly.
Line Break
"Jeremey is leaving?" Bonnie asks Elena shocked, "Elena you cannot do this to him. Remember what happen last time?"
Elena looks at Bonnie. Her best friend's eyes begin to water and Elena panics, "It was mainly Johanna's idea. She is worried he will die here. She says she can't lose us and that we are the only things that really hold her together."
"Why would you let her make that decision, Elena?" Bonnie says crossing her arms.
"I did not really know she was doing it, Bon. I told you Damon likes her…" Elena formulates a lie, "He compelled Jer because Johanna asked him to. But don't mess with his head more, okay? I think it would be best for him to get a chance at a normal life and If it makes my sister sleep better at night. That is a bonus."
Bonnie nods her head, "okay.. I won't say anything." Bonnie pulls out a sign, "You think she will like it?" The sign reads 'Happy Birthday Caroline'. Elena laughs and pulls out some tape.
"She will love it."
Line Break
Johanna is walking to her car when her phone starts ringing. She takes her phone out from her back pocket. It's Damon. She debates with herself before she finally decides to answer it. "Hey" she says quietly.
Damon: Do you know about the abandoned plantation house? He asks abruptly.
"Yeah, I think so, I used to go there for Halloween. Is it the one where all the witches died?"
Damon: That's the one.
"What about it?"
Damon: Meet me there around 5.
"Damon I don't think…"
Damon: Johanna if I wanted alone time with you. I would not want it to be at a haunted house. Just trust me, I need your help with something.
Johanna thought about it for a second, "Okay, I will help. See you there at five."
Damon: Fantastic… Oh and Johanna no one can know you are coming here. Okay?
"My lips are sealed."
Line Break
A few hours later Johanna was at the old haunted house. She walks up to Damon, "I am here. What now?" she asks.
"Come on I'll show you." Damon nods his head to the door.
"Damon, I shouldn't go in there," she backs away slightly, "Witches do not like gypsies. They helped kill our whole species. Not to mention a witch coven tried to kill me at birth."
"Would you like Klaus gone for good?" He asks.
"What?"
"Do you want Klaus dead?" Damon asks impatiently. "Because what is in that house may have the potential for being a weapon against him."
"Yeah, if he were gone everyone I love would be safer." Johanna answers crossing her arms.
Damon looks at her deeply, "You would be safe too."
She sighs, "That's unimportant."
Damon smirks almost in a sad manner. "Come on. You're on our side, they will let you in." He takes her hand and leads her into the house. Johanna grips his hand tighter once they were in the house. There was an eerie feeling that Johanna did not like. Once they were in the basement Johanna saw four coffins. One was set differently than the others.
Johanna looked up to see Bonnie looking at her with a stoic look. She looked at the witch confused. Bonnie's aura was screaming disgust.
Damon coughed, "Bon Bon tell Johanna what to do."
"Right," Bonnie said, "This coffin is the only one that has not opened. The other three are his family. I read that gypsies can be bonding and or breaking components in spells. I was hoping maybe you could open this."
Johanna raised her eyebrows and then furrows them. She walks over to the coffin curiously.
"I can try," She says, "No promises." She says looking at Bonnie then to Damon. She closes her eyes and begins to focus. Her hands hover over the coffin and they begin to glow silver. Johanna begins to lower her hands to touch the coffin but, just as she touches it she is shocked. Johanna flies back. Damon reacts quickly and catches her. Bonnie turns away from the coffin and backs away.
"What just happened?" Damon asks steading a shaky Johanna.
She gasps catching her breath, "Whatever, or whoever is in the coffin, it does not just want to kill Klaus," She looks back at the coffin, "It wants to kill me too."
Line Break
Klaus walks up to the small green house. He knocks on the door and waits with a smirk on his face. Chelsy opens the door and gasps she tries to close the door. Klaus puts his hand out and stops her from closing it. He walks in confidently.
"I never invited you in. How did you?" Chelsy asks with her back against the wall.
"Because Chelsy," Her oldest brother Brandon walked down the stairs, "I have already invited him in." Chelsy looks at Brandon then to Klaus.
"Come now, little wolf, don't be scared. I am a friend." Klaus says softly.
Chelsy pushes off the wall and lifts her chin up, "No friend of mine would do the things you've done."
Brandon quickly speaks up, "Enough Chelsy. Klaus is not our enemy. He may not be your friends' favorite person. But he is protecting us so show some respect."
Chelsy scoffs and opens the door, "Whatever… I am out of here." Chelsy barges out.
"Chelsy!" Brandon yells
"It's alright, mate. She will come around. I understand the dramatics of sisters." Klaus says with a smirk
Line Break
Johanna is sitting on Grant's bed next to a small duffle bag. Grant is slowly pacing in his room, "Okay I got my phone charger, laptop, toothbrush, hair product, vans, two pairs of pants, five tops," Grant looks to Johanna, "and am I forgetting anything?"
Johanna looks up and scratches her chin, "Let me think," She gasps lightly then giggles, "Your panties?"
Grant rolls his eyes and goes to his dresser, "Guys wear underwear not panties." He puts the underwear in his duffle and zips it up. He sighs and puts his hands in his back pockets, "Alright I am ready to roll. I will be back in a five days and-"
Johanna interrupts quickly, "And if I need you, you are a phone call away. Grant don't be worried about me, okay? You need to visit colleges. Everywhere and anywhere, I will be safe." A car starts down stairs.
"Grant come on we cannot miss our flight!" Grants mom yells from down stairs.
Johanna smiles at Grant and hugs him. "Have fun. Text me when you land in Cali will you?"
"Of course. Bye." Grant says. Johanna walks to the window, her "door" at Grant's house, and climbs down the vines of the side of his house. Once she landed, she walks to the corner of the house and watches as Grant gets into the car.
As the car takes off she turns to walk back to her house. Suddenly, she is grabbed from behind. An arm wraps around her waist and a thick cloth covers her mouth. Her world starts to get hazy. The grip around her waist disappears but in her fog she feels a prick on her neck. That instant she begins to convulse and the world around her disappears.
Flashback
"Why are you still here, Stefan?" Bonnie asks reading a grimore by the locked coffin.
Stefan walks towards the witch, "You know I would never hurt Elena, right?"
Bonnie sighed, "Honestly, Stefan, I heard your conversation with Damon… about how you are willing to lose everything so you can kill Klaus. At this point, I think you are capable of anything."
"I won't hurt her. I promise that I will not ever hurt Elena. But I need your help. If I cannot use Elena as my bait for Klaus I need to use the next best asset of his."
"Which is?" Bonnie asks.
"Johanna… and she is so powerful I do not know if I can take her down without some form of help."
Bonnie shakes her head, "I don't know Stefan."
"Come on Bonnie you told me about the way she reacted to that coffin. She is afraid of it and she won't help us. Damon may trust her but I don't. I know you don't."
"I think I have something that can help." Bonnie says grabbing her bag and walking towards the stairs. Stefan follows with a satisfied smirk on his face.
End of FlashBack
Stefan locks Johanna up on a tree. Her eyes open but her pupils are completely dilated. "Stefan?" She asks groggily.
Stefan looks away from her and takes out her phone. He dials Klaus's number.
Johanna mumbles incoherently but somethings could be made out, "Why are you… You are making a mistake… you can't do this."
Klaus picks up, "Johanna, What is it?"
"Not Johanna, but I do have Johanna here with me. She can't really talk or move right now. But let's see if she can still scream." Stefan says darkly and puts the phone down on a stump. He picks up a vervain laced stake and rams it into her stomach. Johanna screams loudly; Stefan twist it and she cries out again.
Klaus: What do you think you are doing, Stefan? He demands.
"I am making sure you do what I say Klaus. Remove your hybrids now or this gypsy won't be alive to save you from what is in that coffin." There was silence on the line. Stefan grabs another stake and stabs her in the shoulder, "Klaus I have one more stake. It will go in her heart. In three…"
"Klaus please!" Johanna begs in tears.
Klaus: This is foolishness Stefan!
"Two…"
Johanna continues to cry. Stefan begins to press the stake into her chest. Johanna starts to scream.
"One.." Stefan raises the stake to kill when he hears Klaus yell..
Klaus: I will send them away! Do not kill her.
Stefan drops the stake. He grabs the phone and hangs it up. "You were actually going to do it." Johanna says behind him. "You were going to kill me."
Stefan pulls the stakes out of her then disappears. She is still tied up. "Stefan… you can't just leave me here!" Johanna yells weakly, "Somebody help…"
Johanna tries to pullout of her restraints but can't. She starts to hyperventilate but quickly calms down. She is surrounded by nature and remembers her mediation this morning. She closes her eyes and focuses on the two stakes lodged in her. They start to tremble; she hisses but furrows her brow trying harder. The two stakes fly from her body and a couple feet away from her. Johanna gasps with the release of pressure.
She takes a couple seconds to regain her breath. "Okay.. okay.. come on Johanna you can do this. Melt the metal." Her eyes turn silver as she mumbles 'melt the metal' to herself. She screams as the metal starts to become hot but continues raising its temperature. The metal melts off her hands and steam comes off her skin. She looks at her wrist as her skin heals.
Line Break
"Johanna," Klaus looks at the small girl at his door, "What a surprise. I am glad to see you are safe now." He states with a smirk. "What do you want, Sweetheart?"
"I need a place to stay." She says walking past him.
"Is there nowhere else for you to go, gypsy?" Klaus asks closing the door.
Johanna stops in her tracks, "I saw where the coffins are." She pauses for a second, "Early today Damon asked me to go to the house."
Klaus walks to her and stands behind her, "Why was I not informed? I still own you remember." He demands venom lacing his voice.
She turns to look at him, "Because Klaus I was hoping to help Bonnie and Damon find a way to kill you, but I ended up leaving with a completely different agenda."
Flashback
"Damon please listen to me, that coffin is surrounded by dark energy." Johanna explains, "You all need to stay away from it."
"It is our only way to get rid of Klaus." Damon argues.
"It will get rid of me too! Is that what you want?"
"You do not know that for sure." Damon turns to her, "If what's inside tries to attack you we can protect you."
"If you open up that coffin. There will be more death than you could ever imagine. Klaus may be gone but his death will only seem like a casual compared to all the suffering that will come from this."
Damon stays silent and Johanna scoffs, "But you are okay with that. You are willing to risk everything just for this one victory."
"You do not understand the destruction he has brought here. He killed your sister, your aunt. He has a hold on Stefan, you, everyone, Johanna."
"I know what he has done." Johanna says quickly.
Damon starts to yell, "I almost had him. I won't pass up another chance to kill him. Besides, I thought your safety was unimportant to you?"
Johanna looks up at Damon with fury in her eyes, "and I thought my safety was important to you. Or was your speech last night a lie?"
"It wasn't," Damon grabs her arm and pulls her close, "I do care," He sighs and lets go of her, "you just don't understand." Damon turns around.
Johanna brushes a tear away quickly, "Oh I understand, Damon. Always the one saving never the one being saved… am I right?" she says weakly.
"Johanna…" Damon turns around to find he is all alone.
