Chapter 25

I was walking outside of the studio when I got the message from Damon telling me to meet them at Elena's house so I went there was faster as I could fearing for the worst. Only to find out Damon and Stefan went to talk with Katherine and she told them that she would give them the moonstone if we got her out.

"You don't believe her, do you?" I ask the boys as we all stand in the Gilbert's kitchen.

"No, of course not. We just want the moonstone."

"According to Rose's friend Slater, there's a way to destroy the spell that Klaus wants to break."

"No spell, no doppelgänger sacrifice. Ergo, you live."

"How do you destroy it?" I ask them, knowing it couldn't be that easy.

"By releasing it from the moonstone."

"How do you guys even know this is gonna work?"

"Cause we have a crafty witch on our side."

"You discussed it with Bonnie."

"Your sister spoke with her." Damon says as Elena looks at me surprised but I just raise my shoulders. I would do anything to keep Elena and my family safe.

"She agreed to do anything she could to help us."

"It's Katherine who has the moonstone. She's not gonna give it to you."

"Of course not Lena. We're gonna get it from her."

"Well, what your sister means to say is, we will pry it from her cold, dead hand if we have to."

"Bonnie just needs to find a way to release the seal long enough for us to get in, get the moonstone, and get out in time for her to return it." I say giving Damon a dirty look because I knew from his expression that he wouldn't let me do anything not that his opinion would matter, after all even my arm was healing faster. It was almost good for a fight.

"Wow. I mean, it sounds like you guys already have it all planned out."

"Yep. We're awesome." Damon comments making me roll my eyes as he smirk at me.

"Except for one thing. I don't want you to do it."

She what? My sister is crazy. "What are you talking about? Elena, we don't have a choice."

"What about Klaus?"

"We'll find him right after we get the moonstone." Stefan tells her as I nod agreeing with him. we just needed a great plan for that since he was, after all, the oldest.

"Is that before or after he kills everyone that I care about, including the three of you?"

She says pointing to us and for the first time I realized, probably just them, that she said it out loud she cared about Damon and I looked at the older brother and I saw how startle he was. Of course, he, after all does have feeling for her.

"Elena, if we can de-spell the moonstone, we can save your life." I tell her, trying to make her seen the reason, because apparently she wasn't.

"I know. Everybody keeps saying that." She says leaving, obviously irritated as I turn back to the boys.

"So what do we do know? It's not like we are taking in consideration what Elena is saying." I tell them as I listen to my phone ringing and I answer it without checking the ID, since I was frustrated with Elena decision of doing nothing to stop Klaus.

"What?" I ask as I see the boys looking at me and the familiar female voice.

"Is that a way to greet your mother?" The annoying voice asks as I take a deep, frustrated breath and the boys look at me and I could see Damon interest but I knew there nothing I could do to make him stop listening.

"I am sorry, I don't recal having one."

"Very funny Genevieve, very funny." She says clearly not amused as I see the confusion on the vampires in front of me and I raise a finger at Damon stopping him from even talking.

"What do you want?"

"We have a problem." She announces as I saw Stefan leaving the room so I could speak with my mother in private, of course Damon didn't do it.

"Doesn't your dress fits you, don't worry mother I am sure you can find a way to fit again."

"Can you be seriously for a moment?"

"Excuse me." I say shocked knowing every well she was being a hypocrite bout it. "Like you have a saying when it comes to seriously. Did you sleep with some who turned out to be a murderer psychopath again?" I ask and I saw Damon eyes popping out and his mouth open as I smirk as appearing him his features. I knew he wouldn't let this one go so soon.

"I let the psychopath assassins to you now, speaking of each how is Erik?" She asks as I take a deep breath trying to call down, so that is why she called him.

"I expected the woman who seduce and slept with him to know where he was."

"Well I am not the one married to him." Now I could almost see Damon falling over the chair. My mother sure had a way with words.

"So you called me after what… two, three years to ask about Erik?"

"It's important."

"I couldn't care less. You want to find him, use your brain, now I have more important business to attend."

"Don't torture anyone."

"Don't kill anyone." I say ending the call as I put the phone on the table with so much strength that I am surprised it didn't broke.

"That was… enlighten."

"You brought this conversation up and I screw to god I will break both of your legs." I say turning around ready to talk out of the house when I listen to him saying probably with a smirk on his face.

"Damn, your treats are getting hotter every day."

"I might be able to lower the tomb spell long enough for you to get in there and grab the moonstone from Katherine."

"How? It took both you and your Grams last time, and look what happened to her." Jeremy says worry about her, I was too but part of me knew I was willing to risk that if it meant Elena would be safe.

"I'm well aware of what happened. I've learned a few new things. How will you get it?" She asks ingoing my brother's concern, hum, something was going on between the two of them.

"She hasn't been feeding. She's weaker. We're not."Stefan explains as Damon shows his glass with blood in it.

"You wouldn't be underestimating her, would you?"

"It's a plan. Is it perfect?"

"What plan is?" I ask knowing very well it was not something we had talk about enough and all plans should be very careful design.

"Let me do it. I've got my ring. I can get in, get out, no spells necessary."

"Not in a million years Jer." I tell him not even knowing why he subject it.

"Gee, thanks, you 16-year-old child. Why didn't we think about that? Why are you even here?" damon jokes as I hit him in the head.

"Maybe I can help better the plan. Do you have anything that belongs to Katherine?"

"Sorry I'm late. I had to grab the grimoire from home." Bonnie says as we both meet the Salvatore brothers since I was the one who drove her home and back here to the old church.

"Jeremy couldn't take the pressure, huh?"

"Damon." I warn him, he's jokes on Jer were staring to miss me off.

"He said he'd be here." Bonnie says as we all walk to the tomb but Damon, who was next to me stops to take a call.

"Not a good time, Rose... Why, what did you do?" Damon says as I turned back to him "Tell me." He says as I listen losing my patient. "Damn it." Damon groans between is teeth as I wait for him to speak. "Elena is trying to contact Klaus."

"She WHAT?"

"We don't have much time."

"Go and make sure she comes back in one piece, even if you need to throw her back in the luggage of the car." I tell him as I saw him smirking probably of my idea but I ignored him walking to the tomb as I saw Jeremy inside with bite mark on his neck dripping blood as Stefan and I ran to the entrance but stop, well Stefan stop himself and me for entering because I was to blind to actually realize the problem.

"I'm sorry. I took some powder."

"Don't worry, I know that he's wearing his ring, so no matter how many times I kill him, he'll just keep coming back for more. So, I'm going to be in the back playing with my new little toy. And you guys just give me a holler when you've got the tomb open." She says as I fixed my eyes on Jeremy.

"Where the hell is Damon?"

"We can't wait, we have to get him out of there. NOW." I say walking around as I found some piece of wood, what I needed a distraction.

"She's fed, she has her strength back."

"We still have what's left of the ash. Do you think you can get close enough?"

"I don't have a choice." Stefan says looking at me as I nod understanding.

"It's gonna take me some time."

"How long?" I ask urgently not trusting Katherine to make us wait.

"I don't know, a while."

"Just get me in there as soon as you can." I say walking away from the tomb I needed air.

"So Charles told me you're a powerful mutant."

"Charles believes everyone is powerful. Coffee?"

"Yes please." He says as I served him and me as I sat in front of him as we both waited for Charles who had to go back to New York to the school.

"So Erik, what kind of power do you have?"

"Can you just read my mind and find out?" he asks teasing me as I smiled at him.

"Yes, but I won't." I tell him and he looks at me surprised waiting for me to explain. "Charles says it's invasion of privacy."

"What about you?"

"I can't say I don't feel the craving. But I'm good at martial arts and you don't see me kicking everyone who pisses me off."

"I would love to see that." He says showing me a very attractive teasing smile.

"I would probably would, if it came to the people I care about."

"We will get him back." Stefan voice tells me as I turn not even noticing him there. "That is a first, normally you can see when people are getting close."

"Yah. I was just distracted."

"We will get Jeremy back."

"It's not just that." I say under my breath as I see Stefan still not talking. "It's nothing."

"It doesn't seem nothing."

"I just." I try to explain to him as I sit on a rock. "There is moments like this I remember who I truly am."

"I don't think I follow you."

"I am kill Katherine right now, not kill, torture her until she begs for mercy." I say with so much venom in my voice that it takes the vampire by surprise as he just responds a couple of minutes after.

"It's normal to think like that."

"That is the things Stefan, I don't think about it, I plan on doing it."

"I don't understand." That's because you don't know me. All I have done.

"We should probably go check on Bonnie." I say getting up and walking inside again.

"Bonnie... Bonnie..." I scream as I see the young witch bleeding from her nose. She was not strong enough

"You gotta stop her!" Jeremy scream and Katherine elbows Jeremy in the face and he falls to the floor and before I have time to rationally thing I get inside the tomb and attack Katherine.

"SOFIA." I hear Stefan scream but I was already trying to fight Katherine, I knew she wasn't putting much of a fight, for a vampire at least, for more common humans and with my arm still not fully recover they would already had lost to her but we both stop when Stefan worry voice spoak.

"You need to stop. Bonnie!"

The witch wasn't stopping so I push Jeremy out of the tomb and got inside the witch head. I knew what would coat me but I was willing to pay it. as I got to her head it didn't take long to knock her out and make her fall on the ground as I felt dizzy myself.

"Bonnie. Bonnie, wake up, please. Bonnie, wake up. Bonnie."

"Yes, please because I'm still in here!" Katherine impatiently paces around making me even more pissed off.

"I knocked her out." I say and everyone turned to me, being Jeremy the one most confused about it. "She wasn't strong enough Stefan." I tell him at the same time she started to woke up.

"Are you okay? You all right?"

"You stopped me."

"It didn't work, Bonnie." I tell her but I knew she already knew it.

"I'm not strong enough. Even with help, I can't do it." She says worry as I saw Jeremy look at me concern.

"I'm so sorry."

"Jer stop, it's not your fault." I say fixing me eyes on Katherine as I saw a smirk on her face.

"Ahhh, that's too bad, I'm still hungry."

At this I feel her grabbing my shirt and I take the opportunity so put my legs around her and in a simple movement making her fall under me as I got the knife hiding on my waist and she tries to struggle me but I was able to shot the knife barely falling her heart at the same time she pushed me against as wall and I knew the second I felt the pain in my head that I had a concussion but I got up. I was fighting until I couldn't anymore. I could feel my legs falling because of the pain in my head

"You're a fighter I give you that." Katherine says with a smirk. "To bad, with that concussion you won't make until tomorrow and your blood smells amazing." She says walking in my direction and before I realize I was being throw out of the tomb and into the floor, being Stefan inside the last memory I had before everything went black.

"I would probably would, if it came to the people I care about. I would die for the people I love."

"You got ogień." I got what? "It's polish for fire, it's not a think I haven't seen in a while, have you thought of actually using that fire to fight for what you want and believe?"
