This chapter is kinda different from the rest, I switch between three characters five times so I apologise in advance if it is a little confusing.
Lorenzo
Damon had left around an hour ago and I had the house all to myself. Sadly without someone to terrorise I was bored out of my mind. Well until Elena walked into the house humming softly to herself. "Hello Elena," I said speeding into the hallway. "Hi, Where's Stefan?" she asked perkily. Dear god she was annoying I kind of wanted the boredom back. "He's not here," I said contemplating sinking my fangs in her pretty little neck. "Oh, I'll wait for him then." She said strolling into the lounge room and flopping onto the couch.
I considered the pros and cons of killing her. After much deliberation I decided that the repercussions wouldn't be worth the pleasure of killing her myself. My thoughts wandered and eventually came to a stop on a devious Original. Then I remembered, Alverna still hadn't lived up to her promise of ridding the world of the naive teenager sitting in front of me. But I was inclined to accept the delay.
"Lovely weather lately," Elena said making small talk. "I suppose," I answered flipping though one of Stefan's journals. "Is that Stefan's journal?!" She asked. "Yep, from the sixties." I replied reading about a night spent on the town. "You shouldn't be reading them!" she exclaimed snatching the book out of my hands. I grinned at her. "And why not?" "Because this is private!" She answered storming upstairs with the book held to her chest. I smiled and grabbed another from the pile beside me. I didn't know what Damon saw in her, well actually I did. Katherine.
Elena came back downstairs. "Are you reading another one!" She exclaimed. I nodded, "This one is from 1934" I said. She gaped at me and yanked the book out of my hands. I was about to remind her that I was a immortal, superhuman,blood drinking, psychopath and she was a weak, slow, blood bag when the door was thrown of it's hinges. My fangs came down as I readied myself for a fight. I was however not prepared for the ten werewolves that poured though the newly made archway.
It wasn't a long fight but I did manage to sink my teeth into a few of them. Well before they pinned me down. Strangely none of the savage beasts bit me. Elena had gone down quietly without a scream. I saw them cart her out of the house while I was ripping one in two. Lets just say I got a lot of blood and other gooey bits on me. I thrashed and snarled but there was too many holding me down. Then a human walked though the wolves and injected me with vervain from a little syringe. I hissed as I felt the burning spread though my body, then I passed out.
Alverna
My day had been nice, Elijah and Becca had gotten home and Kol wasn't trying to start trouble for once. However when a desperate Damon burst into my home things took a turn for the worse. "I need your help." He said. "With what?" I asked confused. "Lorenzo and Elena have been kidnapped by werewolves." He told me with a frantic look in his eyes. "Wait here" I commanded my voice serious. I rushed upstairs and collected my siblings then brought them downstairs.
"Why are we going to help them?" Kol asked. I didn't have time for his trouble making. "Because we need them, or did you forget that?" I said condescendingly. He glared at me. "Why are we waiting for?" Niklaus asked his face serious. I shot him a confused look. Why would he care about what happens to Enzo. But then I understood. Helping Elena might score him points with Caroline. "They, want us to hand over Mason for Elena and Enzo." Damon said. "Why do you need us for a simple exchange?" Elijah asked. "Well he's dead." Damon said sheepishly.
If I hadn't spent a thousand years with Kol and Rebekah I would have strangled Damon then and there. I cursed under my breath. "We'll worry about that particular problem later for now lets just gather everyone up." I said walking out the door. I got in my, gag, minivan. Oh dear god I hated this thing. Damon, Finn, Sage and Elijah piled into the back while Niklaus hopped in the front with me. While Kol and Rebekah took their own cars. The drive was uneventful but Damon filled us in on the details of the wolf's demands and other details, like that the wolf pack is the one we helped them with before.
We arrived at the Gilbert residence and I rushed into the house with Niklaus at my heals. However I passed though the door and he slammed into the invisible barrier. I almost collapsed in laughter seeing him sitting dumbfounded on the porch. "Did you forget about that weakness brother?" I said smiling from inside the house. Damon and the others walked onto the porch then. "No, I'd been invited in." He said. I shrugged. "Oh yeah Elena turned eighteen which means the house is hers not Jenna's any more." Damon said.
"Alverna!" I heard a voice call from the top of the stairs. I turned and saw the blonde vampire coming down the stairs. "Thank god are you here to help?" She asked her voice desperate. I nodded. "Thank you," She said gratitude in her eyes. "I'm here to help too love," Klaus said from outside. She just glared at him. "Care we do kinda need them so can you please find someone to invite them in." I asked. She sighed then called for little Gilbert.
After he invited my siblings inside we held a war council. In the lounge room with tea and biscuits supplied by Caroline. It seamed she became very motherly when she was nervous, although Niklaus was still the physical embodiment of evil in her eyes. I almost smiled at her obvious disdain for him, seriously she was nice to Kol but shot daggers at Klaus. Under normal circumstances it would have been hilarious.
"Okay here's the plan," I said to the assembled Vampires. "We go to the exchange with a werewolf tied up with a sack over his head then we make then hand over Lorenzo and Elena." I said, "then we kill them all, any bites will be handled by my brother and then we go our separate ways and you guys are indebted to my siblings and I." I finished. Everyone was quite. "Sounds good lets go," Stefan said from his spot pacing the room. "Wait were are we going to get a werewolf?" Alaric asked. "Well this town has a unhealthy population of supernatural creatures it won't be hard to find a wolf." Elijah stated. "Tyler Lockwood." Damon said. "There problem solved," Rebekah said getting up and going to the car.
When she came back she had some rope and a lot of wolf's bane. "Why do you have so much of that sister?" Klaus asked shying away from the herb. Becca shrugged, "Be prepared." I shook my head at her. "Okay now go fetch me a werewolf." I said plucking one of the delicate flowers off it's stem.
Lorenzo
When the vervain had been neutralised I awoke. However I soon wished I hadn't. Someone had brought me to a dark cellar with one door and what looked like a ventilation shaft on the roof. I felt the burning on my wrists and ankles. When I looked down I saw that my limbs were bound to a wooden chair with vervain soaked ropes. "Well this screams 'torture chamber'." I said to myself noticing the table in the corner piled high with vervain and knives along with a stake or two.
"Enzo?" I heard a scared feminine voice call out. My eyes searched the dark room and eventually found Elena. She was behind me. I thrashed in my chair trying to turn around to assess her condition. I needed to feed and soon. I managed to spin myself around. "Where are we?" She whimpered. "Really. You're asking me a fellow prisoner where we are." I shook my head at her, This kind of stupid is not normal. "Shut up!" She yelled hysterically.
I sighed then apologised. "Are you hurt?" I inquired. She shook her head. "Good," I said leaning forward then throwing myself and the chair back with as much force as I could muster. I fell to the ground and the chair broke into splinters. After I had ripped the ropes off me I advance towards Elena. "Oh thank god, help me out of these." she begged. I laughed. "Sweetling did you forget that it's Damon and Stefan who love you, not me." She flinched away from me panic in her eyes. "However," I said changing my path for the table of knives, "Damon would never forgive me if I drained you or even took a little." I heard her sigh in relief. "But, If I don't use my fangs and compel you to forget then I can take as much as I want." I grinned.
"You-you can't compel me, I've got vervain in my system." She stuttered. I shook my head, "Trust me love, if the vervain is out of mine it's out of yours" I said ripping off her vervain necklace. I looked her in the eyes. "Stay still and don't scream." She did just that and I opened up a little vein in her wrist. Her blood wasn't the best tasting stuff but it was still blood. After I had my strength back I made a few more cuts and compelled her to think our kidnappers did it. Then I fed her some of my blood and we made our escape.
However our escape didn't last that long. Just after I untied her the door opened. I attacked the person who walked in. But then I got a needle in my arm and the burning started again. The last thing I though was "Not again,"
Caroline
Damon arrived at Elena's house with Tyler slung over his shoulder like a rag doll. The Original sisters and I were making wolf's bane weapons in the lounge room. Keeping myself busy stopped my from worrying too much. Damon threw him onto the unoccupied couch beside me. "Oh my god Damon!" I said rushing to Tyler's side, "you couldn't have been more gentle?" I asked accusingly. He just shrugged. "We're on a tight schedule, I didn't have time to kidnap him nicely." "We are not kidnapping him, just borrowing him for a while." I said. Niklaus, who had been watching the exchange from the kitchen chuckled. "Whatever helps you sleep at night, love." He said strolling away.
I glared daggers into his back, "Why is he such a egotistical jerk?" I asked. Alverna and Rebekah smiled at each other, "Nik has always been like that even back when we were human." Rebekah said dipping a bullet into a jar of wolf's bane water. "You think a thousand years would have taught him it's not attractive in the least," I said filling one of Alaric's empty, vervain grenades with the wolf's bane juice.
"Actually many fair maidens have fallen for his..." Alverna said pausing trying to find the right word, "sarcastic charm," She finished after a few seconds of silence. "Hmph, it's not going to work on me." I said. Alverna grinned, "I never said it was going to." "Um well, you were implying it," I said blushing slightly and looking away. Rebekah looked at me curiously. I could almost hear the gears spinning in her head.
"Are you guys finished?" Damon asked. "Yes," I said screwing the lid on the grenade and scooping up the others in my arms. I escaped the curious stares and amused looks of the sisters by going around the house and giving out the handmade weapons. However when Klaus fell into step with me along the upstairs hallway I almost threw one of the bombs at the annoyingly attractive hybrid. "Can I help you Niklaus?" I asked stopping and turning to face him.
The light from one of the windows streamed down onto his golden hair and made it look like an angel. I was speechless until he started talking and I remembered that I was talking to a psychopath who drained my best friend of blood in his little hybrid ritual. "That's the first time you've called me by my full name." He said talking a step closer to me. "I'm sorry do you prefer the abbreviated version?" I asked condescendingly. The corner of his mouth went up and formed a very sexy half smile, "No it sounds nice coming from you," He said leaning towards me.
"If that's the case, what do you want Klaus?" I said. He grinned and leaned further in. I didn't move a muscle, the beauty of being technically dead. "Nothing you're going to give me yet," He said. For a second he looked like he was going to kiss me and all I could think was "What do I do?!" but then he grinned and leaned away. As soon as I was out of his sight I took a deep breath and exhaled shakingly. "Do let him get to you Caroline." I said softly to myself, then I smiled and tried to pretend that encounter didn't happen.
So what do we all think? What I really want to know is if you guys think I've captured Klaus? Tell me in your Reviews.
