Chapter 24
We heard yelling outside, the sound of fighting. The door was kicked open and in rushed, to my surprise Damon and Alaric, yelling my name Ric had a cut above his eyebrow and Damon seemed unscathed.
"Damon" i gasped looking at him as he began to make his way over to me, only to be stopped by Klaus.
"On more step and see dies ir should i say they both do" Klaus roared as he grabbed his knife and stared digging it in the my lower abdomen. Causing me to panic and a look of pure terror pass over his face.
Elena P.O.V
Damon stood there a look of panic passing over his face, he began to take a step forward only to stop when Klaus removed the knife from its position above my stomach to my already bleeding shoulder and stabbed the knife just below the already bleeding shoulder to create another deep cut, causing me to scream out in pain. Al this was done whilst Klaus was looking Damon in the eye.
He went too do it again except in my opposite shoulder, only to stop when Damon yelled out. "STOP". Catching Klaus's attention instantly.
"How" i gasped out.
"How what my dear there are many things i know" he said with humour in his voice.
"How do you know, i-i'm p-preg-gnant" i breathed feeling myself begin to get weaker and weaker from the amount of blood loss.
"Well 'L you should know by know that i am never not watching you, all i had to do was slip one f my guys in their whilst you were inside the hospital and as if by magic i had your medical records" he laughed. " And besides do you seriously think i wouldn't recognize any changes in your body, i mean seriously 'L the baggy clothes aren't hiding anything when i know your body inside and out" this statement caused Damon to snarl at Klaus obcenities.
"Dear Elena your asking the wrong questions. You have made the ultimate betrayl getting pregnant with another man. Tut. Tut. Even look at Kat she hasn't had the guts to get pregnant with any other man, she will forever be tied to me through our darling daughter. Isn't that right" he chuckled as he walked over to Katherine and cupped her cheek.
"Same that on the paper work she is in fact Kyle's daughter" she spat at him.
"Doesn't change the fact she's my daughter though does it" he said simply.
He walked back over to me."It'll be a shame to kill you, it really will. Such a beautiful girl" he said to him self as he got his knife again ready to strike, only to be tackled to the floor by Damon and Alaric.
I could see Rebecca of to the side trying to wake up the young girls, not having much look. I hear the wharehouse door opening again, to see Elijah walk in with two men both sporting bruised face and bleed noses, they rush over to Damon and Alaric who now have Klaus pinned to the floor and are holding the knife to his neck. I see they are about to grab them from behind.
"Damon, behind you" i yell to him, just as one grabs Alaric from behind by his head, pulling him away from Klaus and into a head lock. Damon is putting up a big fight; punching the guy in the face, causing him to yelp out and fall backwards. I see Elijah is helping Klaus up to his feet, as the other guy manages to get Damon's arms behind his back this causes Damon to struggle, but does not manage to get out of the grip, the guy is nearly double Damon size.
"I suggest you tell him to stop struggling, otherwise no one is going to make it out of here alive" Klaus whispered in my ear, in a too calm voice, causing shivers to run down my spine.
"Damon. Stop" i call to him, in a weak voice, and he instantly stops fighting and looks at me, instantly going pale.
"Good. She actually listens, for once" he says in a sarcastic tone. He turns his back to me and walks over to his brother.
"Well, well Elijah, seems you have been keeping something from me all these years" he said in monotone.
"And what would that be" he asked curiously, then looked down at the watch on his wrist.
"Oh just the fact you slept with her" he said anger in his voice.
"Elena was my girlfriend first" he joked, again looking down at his watch.
"You. Know. I'm. Not. Talking. About. That. Slut" Klaus answered him taking a step towards his brother.
"Elijah, don't goad him, he doesn't even have the conscience to not kill his own family" Rebecca called out as she walked towards Damon, whispering something to the guy holding Damon, luckily without Klaus noticing.
"What do you mean, Bex" Elijah asked confused looking between his sister and brother.
"H-ee killed Victoria" she whimpered out, even though Klaus was giving her a death glare.
"Wh-hat" Elijah stuttered out.
"Yep, seems big brother isn't as perfect as you thought" Katherine sneered out.
This caused Klaus to almost run up to her and wrap his hands around her throat beginning to choke her.
"I TOLD YOU TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT, YOU WHORE" he screamed in her face, gripping her neck harder causing her eye's to almost bulge out her head, and to begin to struggle against his grip. Only to tackled by Elijah, moments later.
"What. Did. You. Do?" Elijah got out between clenched teeth, keeping him pinned down, luckily Klaus wasn't giving any fight.
"I killed her" he replied simply, his face void of any emotion.
Elijah jumped up as fast as he could as pratically ran to where Rebecca was stood clutching her hand.
"Why" was all he whispered.
Klaus just simply shrugged his shoulders, as if it wasn't his dead sister he was talking about.
Elijah let out a humorless laugh. "You just find this all so easy don't you" he exclaied pointing to the now awake teeneager, me nearly bleeding heavily on a chair, and a gasping Katherine .
"Its a natural talent brother" Klaus replied snidley.
"You make what i'm about to do that much easier" Elijah replied as he lunged at Klaus, causing them both to fall to the floor, causing a fight to the death to begin between the two brothers. This caused everything to happen in slow motion. Rebecca began to rush the two young girls out of harms way, as i heard sirens going of in the background. Thank god it was nearly over.
I looked to Damon to see he had just elbowed the guy holding him in the face knocking him down, and then going to the one holding Alaric and doing a similar action except with his knee.
Alaric rushed after Rebecca who was struggling to get the two girls to the door.
Damon rushed over to me, untieing me quickly and getting ready to pull me into his arms, only for me to scream out in pain at my shoulder.
"Shhh baby, i need to get you out of here" he tried to sooth me.
I looked over Katherine to see she had fallen unconcious, over the last ten minutes.
"Help her first" i let out in a gasp, as i tried to calm down.
"No, i'm not leaving you alone" he said, in disgust as if the idea was foreign to him.
"I'll still be here when you get back. She can't leave Emily without a mother" i said through my pain.
He looked into my eyes, as if knowing what its like to live with out a mother, he nodded he head reluctantly. He walked over to her, untieing her quickly and pulling her into his arm as he ran with her and was out the door, not before giving me a quick pleading look.
And with that i was alone in there, with the two fighting men, who were both bleeding and beaten. I let out a deep breath, causing another pain to suit in my shoulder, causing yet another loud moan of pain. I looked down at my feet to see the knife that Klaus had used on several occasions on mee and the other girls. I picked it up, and looked to the two men. My stomach dropped instantly as i saw Klaus was gaining the upper hand on the fight. And knew this was my chance to end this for good, i got up on shakey legs, weak from the blood loss. I got up wincing slighty as a feel a stabbing pain shot through my entire body and walked slowly towards them, trying not the grab his attention. I was just behind him as he was pummeling his brother below him. I pulled the knife back and just as i was about to strike he turned back looking at me with those menacing eye's that had caused so much pain in my life. And i knew once i did this i would be free, and that's when i plunged the knife into his stomach with as much force as possible, making him drop to the floor instantly. Out of no where Elijah pulled out a similar knife again and plunged it higher up and in to his chest.
Klaus coughed up blood and i saw him lose conciousness and his chest moved up and down quickly in laboured breaths as he lay in a pool of his own blood. My legs began to shake at the sight of all the blood as well as my own blood lose i basically dropped to the floor against the chair i had been tied to.
I look to Elijah to see him getting up slowly wincing, he was covered in blood . And had a slight swelling on his nose and a round his right eye, and his arm was in a odd position.
"I can't carry, at least not with this arm" he eyed me, with worry as i took deep breaths on the floor, trying to get rid of the dizziness that was taking over my senses.
"Just go get Damon, he should be here any minute" i let out weakly.
Elijah just simply nodded his head and set of limping slightly but going as fast as he could. And i was left alone, watching the unconcious Klaus.
It was hard to believe that it was all finally over. I could raise my child with the man i loved, without being scared that one day he was going to come after me. I looked down to my stomach and put my hand on it.
"We made it baby, your safe. We're safe" i sighed in content and let my had fall back against the chair, waiting for Damon to come get me.
"Oh, i wouldn't say that just yet, 'L" Klaus coughed and i saw he had managed to get the knives out of his stomach and chest, he was making his way towards me slowly. I tried to get up, but couldn't pull myself up due to my shoulder, but i went with trying to crawl, only to have my ankle grabbed, i kicked and screamed, but i made no use he dragged me back with a grip like iron.
"You, see 'L i came to do a job and i'm one to complete that, you should know by now. I always complete a goal" he coughed, as he pinned me to the floor by my shoulders causing me to scream out as he dug his nails in to the wounds, i nearly blacked out due to the pain, but came out fighting, not wanting to die, it wasn't just me there we're to others i had to think about. My baby. Damon.
"DAMOONN" i screamed out as loud as i could, then he put his hand over my mouth suffocating and nosies coming from me.
"Tut, Tut." he scolded me stroking my face with his other hand. "Its a shame to kill such a pretty face" he said as he grabbed the knife from his side.
I bit his hand causing him to gasp out and i shouted out Damon again only to be cut with a searing pain as he plunged the knife in my upper torso and i screamed out.
"I think that should do it" he said to him self as his pulled the knife out and sat beside my weak bleeding body, groaning in pain due to him wounds. I looked and saw another knife just in arms reach. I felt the blood leaving my bodily rapidly and knew i only had so long to act. I reached my arm slowly grabbing slowly and bringing it under my body.
"Damon" i moaned out weakly, setting my plan in action knowing exactly what he was going to do next.
"Even when your dying, you think of that basterd" he growled as he hovered over me. "But i'm gonna make sure your last dying thoughts are of me" H egrinned as he cupped my face, knife at my throat , making it impossible for e to move.
He kissed me, bruisingly. I knew this was my only option and i removed the knife from under me stabbing it into his chest, causing him to withdraw from my face and gasp in pain anger in his eyes.
"Bitch" he screamed, and with the last of his strength he used the knife that was just at my neck and stabbed my lower left, abdomen. Causing me to scream out in pain, i felt the weight of his body fall of me and next to me.
I felt myself fading when i heard the voice that had set alight since the very first time we had met.
"ELENNAA" they screamed, and i felt hands cupping my face and i saw piercing blue eyes above me, tears streaming down his face.
"Everythings gonna be ok, your gonna be ok, keep fighting for the baby, for me" he said as my eyes began to flutter shut, i tried my hardest to fight, but all my energy was gone i couldnt even find the strength to tell him i would do anything he wanted, even if it ment sacrifing my own life. With the last of my strength i smiled up at him, just as a shooting pain shot threw my chest, causing my smile to turn to grimace and everything went black.
Damon P.O.V
I heard a piercing scream, as i made my was through the door of the wharehouse, followed by police officers and paramedic's with a stretcher ready to take Elena to the hospital. An ambulance had arrived to take her, Katherine was already on her way there with Kyle with her, and so were the two young girls with there parents who had been informed as soon as the police were called. Rebecca and Elijah were being questioned by the police. And there was Jeremy and Alaric trying to deal with the news reporters that had turned up, looking for some dirt. I mean it was to be expected when four young women were taken hostage by phycopath, and especially when one of them was in a relationship with a multi milllionaire and one was a founding family member.
The minute i saw Klaus hovering over her rage was overwhelmed him. And when he fell back away from her and i saw a knife impailed in her abdomen i yelled out.
"ELLEEENAAAAA"i yelled as i ran to where she was, and cupped her face in my hands, looking into her usual doe eyes that i had seen so many times, full of pain.
"Everythings gonna be ok, your gonna be ok, keep fighing for the baby, for me" I cried as i felt a tear slip down my cheek and then another. I saw she was struggling to stay concious and i saw a look of dertermination and she smiled up at me, and its was removed just as quickly as i saw a flash of pain pass over her face and she passed out.
"You have to move Sir, so we can get her out of here" one of the paramedics explained, and so i moved as quickly as possible watching as they loaded her on to the stretcher.
5 minutes later we were on are way to the hospital. Jeremy and Alaric were following behind in the SUV and called everyone to meet us there, Jenna was gonna stay with the twins and Emily, knowing it was probably for the best.
I never left her side the whole time and it was only a 15 minute drive to the hospital and they rushed her striaght to the emergency room, i informed them about the baby and they said there main aim was to save her life.
Everyone was sat in thw waiting room, waiting for an outcome. 2 hours had past and she was still being operated on, it was honestly like touture. I was passing the waiting room the whole time hoping for the best, hoping she would be ok.
"Coe get some coffee?" Caroline asked grabbing my arm.
"Not thirsty" i said simpy going back to pacing.
"Does it look like i'm giving you the option" she questioned and pulled me out the room and to the coffee machine down the corridor.
"I guess i could get away from that room" i said quietly as we made our way to the coffee machine.
"You know she' a fighter she's gonna get through this" Caroline said as she got herself a cup of coffee and myself one and we sat on the chairs beside it.
"She's the strongest woman, i've ever met, but what if she can't survive this. You didn't see her the life was pratically fading from her" i whispered as a tear slipped down my cheek.
"I've known her all my life, not even multiple stab wounds are going to kill her" she said lightheartedly.
"What if she loses the baby? The knife was in her stomach or not just that the stress she was under, i can't lose either of them"i said putting my head in my hands.
"She won't lose the baby, and besides the way to too go at it, she'll be pregnant in no time what so ever. But she's not going to lose the baby, Damon. Elena is one in a million, that means special things happen to special people, and beside his or her parents are the two strongest people especially when together, so this baby is pratically invinsible" she said patting my back.
I smiled at that, i had to keep my hope intact and she was right Elena was on in a million an could survive anything i just had to remember that.
