A/N Revamped.
I know the popular term for Klaus in Alaric's body is Klaric, but I like Kalaric better. Sorry if you're a diehard Klaric name lover. Well, I'm not that sorry...
Scarlett's POV
Elena and Bonnie are inside with the lawyer signing papers, while us vampires stand outside.
I look down at the daylight ring on Ruby's finger.
"You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" Damon asks and I look at my sisters.
"She said she could channel enough witch's power to kill him. Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so…" Stefan says.
"We just need to find him," Damon says.
"Yeah," Stefan says.
"Could she do one of those witch tracking spells?"
"Nope. Not without something that belongs to Klaus. Believe me, I already asked," Stefan says.
"Katherine's gone from the tomb. Klaus probably has her. Do you think he killed her?" Damon asks.
I give my sisters a look and we smirk at each other.
"Probably," Stefan says.
"It's not like she didn't have it coming," Damon says.
Elena opens the door and the lawyer leaves.
"Thank you, Mr. Henry," Elena says.
"I'm sorry. I completely forgot," Elena says and looks at Stefan. "Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house?"
"I would love to. Thank you," Stefan says and enters the house.
Elena then looks at me and my sisters. "Scarlett, Vali, Genevieve, Penelope, and Ruby. Please come in."
We enter and I walk past to grab my car keys.
"See you guys later," I say. Genevieve, Penelope, and Ruby follow me out to the car.
"Are you actually going to school today?" Genevieve asks as she slides in the front seat.
"Duh," I say and speed the car away.
We pull into the school and jump out of the car.
"You guys go ahead. I have to get signed in," I say and walk towards the office. I compel myself into the school making sure to have Alaric's class the same time as Elena.
"Right. The sixties," Kalaric is saying before I knock on the door. He turns his head to the door, so I smile and open it.
"Sorry I'm late," I say and close the door behind me.
I purposely fumble over my words for effect.
"I had to compe-," I cough, "I had to get signed up for school."
"And who might you be?" he asks with an amused smirk.
"Scarlett Luxton," I say with a smile, "Pleased to meet you."
"Ahh. I'm Mr. Saltzman," he says.
"Ric, right?" I ask.
"Ric," he confirms.
"I'll just take a seat then," I say and look around the classroom.
"Sister darling!" I say with a dramatic English accent.
I smile and make my way over to Ruby and Penelope before sitting down. He stares at me for a moment then turns to the board.
"The, uh, ahem..." he says and starts writing.
"The sixties. I wish there was something good I could say about the sixties, but... Actually, they kind of sucked," he says.
Third Person POV: 1965
Genevieve and Scarlett are chained together. They share a look before Scarlett starts speaking to the witches surrounding them.
"Listen. We didn't do anything to you. Let us go," Scarlett says.
"I don't think so, demon," the head witch says and Scarlett rolls her eyes.
"You have exactly five seconds to let us go," Scarlett says.
"Or what? You'll be dead soon. Demons," the second in command says.
"Something tells me we won't," Genevieve says and Scarlett starts turning.
The witches start making noises of alarm. Genevieve quickly snaps the chains and speeds to close the door, blocking a witch trying to escape.
"Not so fast, sweetie," Genevieve says with an uncharacteristic smirk.
Scarlett is soon fully transformed and she lunges at the nearest witch.
Scarlett's POV: Present Day
"I hear that," I whisper and Stefan shoots me an amused look.
"Bloody witches," Penelope whispers back, having heard the story.
"Except for the Beatles, of course. They made it bearable. Uh, what else was there? The Cuban missile thing, the... we walked on the moon. There was Watergate," he says.
"Watergate was the seventies, Ric. I-I mean, Mr. Saltzman," Elena says.
"Right. It all kind of mushes together up here, the sixties, seventies. Thank you, Elena," he says.
Penelope's POV
After class, Matt approaches me in the hallway.
"I'm sorry about last night. Maybe we can be friends," he says.
"I don't want to be your pity friend," I say and walk faster.
"It's not pity. I realized I was wrong," he says, taking longer strides to keep up with me.
"Or you've spoken to Liz. In which case; you'll try to kill me."
"I told you I wouldn't talk to her and I won't," he says.
"I could just compel you. See if you have vervain in you," I say, turning to face him.
"I don't know what vervain is, but do it."
"Slap that girl in the face. Make it look like an accident," I compel.
He turns around and whacks the girl going past him in the face.
"What the hell?" she squeals.
"Sorry. It was an accident," he says and she huffs before walking away.
"Why'd you make me do that?"
"To make sure you weren't on vervain," I say.
"Does that prevent you from making me do things?" he asks.
"Yes."
"Then you know I'm not lying," he says.
"Go to the dance with me?" I ask.
"Sure," he says and smiles.
Scarlett's POV
My sisters, Ruby, Elena, Bonnie, the Salvatores, and I are all in the living room at the boarding house.
"So we go to the dance, we find him," Damon says.
"Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like," I say and Stefan nods.
"Something tells me he's not going to be sixteen and pimply," Damon says.
"He could be anywhere at any time. He compelled somebody at school," he continues and looks at Elena and Bonnie.
"I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" Stefan says.
Someone knocks on the door and Kalaric soon enters the room.
"There you are," I say and he looks at me. 'I guess he's surprised I'm here.'
"Sorry I'm late," he says.
"Hey, I need you to put Vali and me down as chaperones at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move," Damon says.
"Okay, so we find him and then what, hmm? Poke him with pointy sticks?" I ask and Kalaric chuckles.
"Me. I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him," Bonnie says.
"That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around," Kalaric says.
"Ooh, Alaric has a crush. How cute," I say and Vali chuckles. Kalaric gives me a look and winks.
'Klaus just winked at me! Kuh-laussss just winked at me! Breathe, just breathe.'
"Alaric has a point. I mean, what if he..." Damon says and rushes over to Bonnie, but she throws him on the other side of the room with her powers.
"Well, I was impressed," Stefan says.
"It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can kill him, Elena. I know I can," Bonnie says.
"Please," Vali scoffs.
"Yeah, Damon's only like 200 years old," Penelope says.
"They're right. What if..." I say and speed towards Bonnie. I get my hands completely around her throat before she throws me off.
"See," she says.
"Yeah, we see: the huge flaw in your plan," Genevieve says and a small smirk forms on my face.
"I could've snapped your neck and ripped your heart out in that time. Klaus has about 300 years on me," I say.
"I can do it," Bonnie says.
"She kind of just proved that you couldn't," Kalaric says and I look at him.
"Thank you. I'm not doing this to be an asshole. I'm trying to keep you people alive," I say and he gives a small smirk.
"Maybe they're right, Bonnie. I don't want you to die," Elena says.
"I'll be fine," she says.
"It's outta my hands," I say.
"Did you just quote The Breakfast Club?" Genevieve asks.
"No... Shut up!" I say and they all laugh.
00000000
Matt came to the boarding house to pick Penelope up and not soon after Jeremy pulled up to pick up Genevieve.
Seems like everything is going as planned.
Damon and Vali went to the dance with Elena and Stefan. I just have to take Ruby after I dress her up like my personal Barbie doll.
When we arrive at the dance, it's in full swing. So many hearts are thumping and it's making me hungry.
"Is this too much?" I ask Ruby and she shakes her head. "Let me or my sisters know if it gets to be."
We meet up with my sisters and they are with Jeremy, Matt, Bonnie, Elena, and the Salvatores.
"Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight," the girl on stage says. We stop in front of the stage.
"This is for Elena. From Klaus," she says and plays a song. Elena looks stunned while my sisters and I look very amused.
"That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us," Damon says.
"I know everyone here," Elena says.
"Maybe he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is," Stefan says.
"He's gotta be here," Penelope says.
"It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us," Damon says.
Penelope and Genevieve drag Jeremy and Matt onto the dance floor.
"There's Ric. I'll be back," Damon says and I follow him. He looks back at me and rolls his eyes.
"Stop being a shadow," he says.
"I'm not. I'm trying to keep an eye out for your only friend," I say and he chuckles.
We come up beside Kalaric and I smile at him.
"Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted," Kalaric says.
"I'm not impressed," Damon says.
"That's because you're not good at scaring people," I say and he glares at me.
"Let me know if you see anything out of whack," Damon says and walks away.
"So, you're impressed by the dedication," Kalaric says with a chuckle.
"I would've picked a different song. One subtly about killing people. But everyone can't have my talents," I say. He smiles at me and I raise an eyebrow.
"Wanna dance?" he asks.
"Oh, I think I'm a little old for you, Riccy," I say and pat his shoulder. I go move my hand back, but he grabs it before it goes far.
"Well, I won't take no for an answer," he says and drags me onto the dance floor.
"Hmm, persistence. I like it," I say with a smirk, "Nice outfit by the way. What with all that flannel and plaid, I was almost convinced you were Safari Sam or something."
'That's what he said about Alaric.'
He smirks widely and chuckles.
"I like your outfit too," he says and I roll my eyes.
"The sixties, bleh. I prefer the twenties," I say and his eyes light up slightly.
"So, you're 700 years old?" he asks.
"715, but who's counting?" I ask with a chuckle.
"That's impressive. And that girl you arrived with is your sister?" he asks.
"No, no, no. She was a human not but a couple of days ago. My sisters are Vali," I say and point to Vali, "The moral one. Genevieve," I say and point to Genevieve, "The stubborn one. And Penelope," I say and point to Penelope, who is right next to us, "The-"
Penelope bumps into me with a smile and I glare at her.
"Very annoying, going to be put back in the box one," I say and Penelope quickly pulls Matt away with her.
"Box?" Kalaric asks and I turn to him with a smile.
"You can't expect to to tell you all of my secrets can you?" I ask and start walking away.
"What about you?" he asks.
"I guess you'll have to find out for yourself," I say and walk away.
Genevieve's POV
Jeremy went to the bathroom and I remember he's about to get beat up. I quickly run to the hallway to see Stefan and Damon fighting the compelled guys.
I grab one as Damon does and go to kill mine while Damon tries to kill his.
"No, no, no, no, don't kill them. They're compelled," Stefan says.
"So?" Damon asks.
"So, the whole thing's a distraction. Go find Bonnie and Elena. I got this. Go," he says and I drop my guy before kneeling by Jeremy.
I pick him up and speed him away from the fighting.
Scarlett's POV
"Can I just add something?" I say as Bonnie and Elena are fighting about Bonnie dying.
"Please do," Elena says.
"Elena!" Kalaric yells.
"What is it?" Elena asks.
"He has Jeremy," Kalaric says.
"What?!" Elena asks.
"Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy. Come on," Kalaric says.
We follow him, even though I know he's really Klaus.
"Okay, so where are you taking us?" Elena finally asks.
"Just a little further," Kalaric says.
"Wait... Something's not right," Elena says.
"Where's Jeremy?" Bonnie asks.
We all come to a stop and he laughs.
"I just had to get away from that dance. The sixties, uchh. Not my decade," he says and laughs again.
"I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The style, the parties, the jazz. You are correct about that, Scarlett," he continues and turns to face us.
"Alaric. Are you on vervain?" Elena asks.
"Now why would you ask me that question, Elena?" Kalaric asks.
"He's being compelled," Elena says.
"Nope. Try again," Kalaric says.
"He's Klaus," I say and he smirks at me.
"Surprise!" he says.
"Oh, no. No, it's not possible," Elena says.
"Just relax, Elena. I'm not here to hurt you. You're not on my hit list tonight," he says and looks at Bonnie, "But you are."
She throws him against the wall with her powers, but he gets back up.
"Now, did I mention that I knew a witch? You're gonna have to hit me a lot harder than that," he says and rushes at her so she throws him against a display case.
He laughs and says, "By all means... Fire away!"
He gets up and says, "If you kill this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy."
"Go. Run. Run!" Bonnie says and we start running.
"What happened?" Damon asks when we run into him.
"Klaus is in Alaric's body," Elena says.
"What?"
"He's possessing it or something," Bonnie says.
"It's a spell," I say.
"Go find Stefan. Now," he says.
"Really?" I ask and roll my eyes. I pick Elena up before speeding her down the hallway.
"Here," I say and drop her off outside of the gym. "I'm going back."
I speed to the cafeteria and look in to see Kalaric and Bonnie.
"What? You'd kill your favorite history teacher?" he asks.
"It's what Alaric would want. And he'd want you to suffer first," Bonnie says, but I smell her nose bleeding.
"Look at you," he says and she wipes her nose, "Is that all you got?"
"Let's find out," she says.
"Wait a minute," he says and looks at me, "Come to hurt me too, sweetheart?"
"Nope. I'm good out here," I say, giving him a thumbs up, and Bonnie starts fighting Klaus with her powers.
Elena and Stefan run up, but Bonnie shuts the doors so they can't go in.
"Bonnie, no!" Elena says.
"Why didn't you stop her?" Stefan asks me.
"Why would I stop her?" I ask, feigning confusion.
"It'll kill her," Stefan says.
"Oh, my gosh! Bonnie!" I scream, feigning alarm, and bang on the door with them.
Bonnie looks back at Elena with a smile and then she falls on the floor. Suddenly, everything just stops. Elena and Stefan open the doors and rush over Bonnie. I turn around and walk away.
I speed out of the school and to Ric's apartment.
0000000000000000
I knock on the door and a confused Kalaric answers the door.
"Come for revenge. You saw how that worked for your friend," he says.
"Oh, Bonnie? She's not my friend. I just thought I'd make an announcement," I say with a smirk.
"And what is that?" he asks.
"Damon is going to bring Katherine vervain. If I were you, I'd compel her never to drink vervain again. Or follow your every command until the end of time," I say and Katherine glares at me.
"Who the hell are you?" she growls.
"Someone much stronger than you. I wouldn't try anything," I say, "Oh, and could our alliance stay a secret? Maybe compel her to forget I came?"
"Sure, but why would you help me?" he asks.
"Well, you dying doesn't serve my greater plan," I say and start walking away.
"What is this plan?" he asks.
"You'll see soon enough," I say.
Genevieve's POV
"So, Bonnie's not dead?" I ask and Jeremy nods.
"Nope," he says.
"And you're sure you don't want to be with her in that house?" I ask.
"Yes. She still hasn't apologized to me. So, too bad for her," he says and kisses me.
"Too bad is right," I say and kiss him again.
Penelope's POV
"I had fun tonight," Matt says, "It's like you're a regular person."
"I am. I told you that," I say and he smiles.
"Then maybe we can be friends," he says and tucks a hair behind my ear.
"Maybe," I say and he quickly kisses me. I blink at him in shock.
"Or maybe more," he says and starts back to his car.

Klaus or Kol. I haven't decided yet. Probably Klaus. Maybe.
CobraQueen35-
Yes, that is correct. I'm undecided about Vali yet. Although, it is funny that she doesn't have a man when she thought she'd pick first. I like the irony of the situation :)
