Please review.
Chapter 18,
We made our way inside the mansion, Elijah had tied my hands to make it look like I had come against my wishes and tied Damon as well, he had made it look like there was vervain, but it was actually just some chemical to make Damon's hands look burned, I saw his expression turn rock hard, he meant business now.
"Jenkins, tell Klaus we're here." Elijah said with a different tone, a different air of command in his voice. The man, Jenkins, trembled with fear at the mention of the name, Klaus. I saw that there were six guards (vampires) on this level. Looks like Klaus was really over confident.
"Six here, mostly six up." Elijah whispered.
"Ah! Finally, we meet again sport! What a pleasant surprise. So great to finally meet the lovely Ms...?" A man came walking in. Klaus. He was tall and really handsome. He was very... Nordic in appearance and his eyes were blazingly electric blue and he had short, close-cropped platinum blonde hair, almost whitish but not so that you'd notice. He wore a long tan coat.
"Tell the man your name." Elijah said looking into my eyes as though to compel me,
"Elena Gilbert." I said facing Klaus and saying that in the most robotic and monotonous voice I could. At that point I didn't feel scared. I felt the so called 'Petrova Fire' rage on inside me.
"Pleasure is all mine sweetheart." He said.
"Is the werewolf indisposed?" Klaus asked,
"Yes he is." Elijah replied.
"And the vampire?" Klaus asked,
"Of course. I don't want to mess this up now." Elijah said,
"Good job sport." Klaus said,
"Excuse me, Klaus, but if you don't mind I'd like to watch the ceremony." Elijah said his lips shut in a tight smile,
"I know that, the ceremony is in a while. If you'd like you can stay here, or come back later." Klaus said.
"If you allow, Klaus, I'd wish to stay." Elijah said and Klaus nodded.
"Jenkins, tie up the vampire, werewolf and the witch. Trevor, escort Mr. Elijah to his room, then get three servings of human food, the best for the doppelgänger. I'll take Ms. Gilbert from here." He said and motioned me to follow him, everything inside me told me to follow that man and I realized the source of that... feeling was Elijah, I followed Klaus and he led me up the elegant mahogany stairs to a huge room.
It was a great big room, with all the modern necessities, including a huge television, a gaming station? I ignored the churning feeling in my stomach.
Klaus looked at me, his piercing blue eyes gazed into mine, and I knew he was going to compel me,
"All other compulsion on you will wear off. You will be yourself with me." He said after his pupils had returned to normal, I waited a few seconds to see if this was a trick or not, When he had a look on frustration, I looked around as in trying to assess my surroundings.
"Where am I? Your... oh no!" I exclaimed and Klaus looked at me amused.
"Yes my dear, I am your worst nightmare, or the best darn thing that ever happened to you. Whichever way you take it, I am Klaus." He said with a mock dramatic effect.
"So, are you gonna kill me?" I asked bluntly and he raised his eyebrow at me,
"Ah, so they proclaim me as the villain" He chuckles to himself
"Wait what...?" I tried to move my hands but his icy grip pinned them to the walls.
"Good. Now, can I ask you something Elena?" He said looking into my eyes,
"Your gonna ask anyway." I said flatly and he smiled,
"Clever... Now, imagine that you have everything, all the power in the world, imagine you are very superior. Now, there is a way, a way to make your arch enemy, inferior but that will make your allies, more powerful. What would you do? What path would you choose?" He asked, his grip on my hands tightening.
"If you are 'oh so superior' like you say so, you can easily take over your arch enemy. Now, I know what this is referring to, and I don't know what your motive is behind breaking the curse, but I think its a stupid move. Vamps don't generally like you, maybe you can take out vamps. But if all the vampires can walk in the Sun, how many can you face? How many can you compel to be of your service. So I ask again, why do you want to break the curse?" I ask and his stony expression remains the same.
"Your smarter than Katerina, your not throwing yourself at me. I am a desirable man, I have good... bedside manners, so to speak. So why are you not using yourself." He asked and a look of disgust washes over my face.
"If my hands weren't tied, I'd probably slap you." I say and he quirks his eyebrows before laughing.
"You look like Katherine, but you are so different from her." He says to himself.
"Well, deal with it." I murmur.
"How do you have the courage to say these things? I know your scared from your irregular heart beats, yet I don't seem to faze you. Why?" He asks, genuinely curious.
"Because, your gonna kill me, so why be all scared, no good will come out of it." I said,
"Umhm, what the? Come with me." He said as we heard crashing sounds from downstairs.
Showtime.
We reached downstairs in a fuzz, everything was destroyed, I saw Damon pull out a guys heart out and Stefan and Katherine and Caroline were all vamped out, using my increased speed and strength I punched Klaus away and as he stumbled backwards, more by shock that a little human like me did that then my strength, but stumbled nevertheless and I zipped over to Elijah's side. It was ironic that the tiles on the floor sketched a line between me and my friends vs Klaus and his goons. Good vs Evil, light vs dark...
"What are you?" Klaus asked amazed by my strength.
"My daughter." Elijah spoke and Klaus laughed.
"Not possible." Klaus said,
"Believe what you want brother, the shaman gifted me, he knew about you and your evil plans. I got to sire a child. The Petrova doppelganger, so ha to you." Elijah said and I saw Klaus's eyes redden with anger.
"Guards!" He yelled with such ferocity and out of nowhere fifteen vampires came, one was at my side, stake in hand, I looked him in the eye and compelled him,
"You will stake yourself with that in your heart." I said and in a second that stake was in the guys chest, I felt horrified and puked.
"Elena, catch." Katherine threw me a sword which I caught,
It was on. There was blood everywhere and the sound of fighting, the sound of flesh ripping apart and bones breaking. It was all out war, a mini war but a war for peace. Out of nowhere I felt something grab me, I jumped and fell, but not before the sword cut the already week vampires arm, he groaned in pain and Damon decapitated him.
Then all of a sudden, we had killed the goons, and then there was one.
Klaus.
We were all tired, and Klaus laughed before he threw a stake aimed right at me,
"Noo!" Damon wailed before he threw himself at me, time stopped. I screamed, he would be hit. He would di...
"DAMON!" I screamed, but it was too late, he had been hit. The stake had struck at his heart, he was... I leant by his body,]
"No, please... Please, don... don't leave me, don't die..." I wailed, and I felt Katherine pick me up.
"He's not dead. Not yet. Get up." She hauled me up. Elijah was there on Klaus's back, hitting him and then with a burst of energy Klaus threw him across the room as his body bent in a crooked angle. But I didn't care, my gaze was at the lifeless body infront of me...
Damon.
The only sound that jerked me back to reality was when Klaus screamed in pain when Bonnie and Luka and.. Isobel?, came into the room, He was on his knees with the pain, Bonnie had grabbed onto Jeremy but Luka kept on going, blood was gushing down his nose, but he didn't stop, and then suddenly Luka fell face first to the floor. And when Jonah screamed and went to his son, a Klaus goon killed him, Katherine then killed the goon. But Bonnie kept on going, holding Jeremy for power, Isobel gave me the dagger,
"Only you can kill him." and I mustered all the anger and ran towards Klaus and launched it into Klaus's cold, black heart.
He looked with me with anguish in his eyes before he died.
"Damon?" I said,
"Elena.., your blood. Will... heal him." Elijah managed to croak out. I looked around for something to break skin, there was a pocket knife lying around, I flinched a little at the pain but then put my wrist near Damon's mouth.
"Drink, please." I murmured as I saw some of the color return to his body. Stefan who was by my side, stake in his leg, tears staining his eyes turned to face Elijah,
"But he was dead.." He began.
"No, the stake missed his heart barely, but it did. He was in a state of unconsciousness, a coma for vampires. And only special blood could bring him out of it. If he didn't get either the doppelgängers blood, or a warlock's he'd die. But since he got it.. He'll be okay." Elijah said.
After drinking, Damon coughed before he opened his eyes, he tried to sit up but then howled in the pain of the stake.
"Its okay, slowly." I coo to him.
"I love you." He says tears in his eyes,
"I love you too." I say back to him, before I start crying. But I notice everyone, Bonnie, Jeremy, Caroline, Tyler, even Katherine and Elijah come close to us.
We survived this and our bond strengthened.
