Klaus P.O.V
First thing in the morning when I walked into my sister home I didn't expect to find Stefan Salvatore sneaking out of the house. It appears that my sister and former friend had shared an intimate evening, which looked like it was going to work in my favour. Rebekah was not cooperating with me and I knew she would only listen to one person right now and they just sheared a bed with her. When I spoke with Stefan he did not seem interested what so ever about retrieving the dagger from Rebekah. He was more concerned with the fact that his brother had been compelled to kill Jeremy and Star. When this news came to light I felt rage how dare Kol compel Damon Salvatore to kill the only woman who I've ever truly loved. That made the purpose of needed that dagger more than ever now, as it was the life of my wife was endanger. Kol was looking for the unum praeditos for years from what Stefan had told me, I couldn't not let him lay a finger on her. My only concern is how much Damon had told Kol about Star.
I had left Rebekah home and made my way to the boarding house after hearing that Damon had attack Star I needed to make sure she was ok, I walked into the house and made my way up to her room. I opened the door quietly and she was still fast asleep I walked over and sat next to her and moved her hair from her face. Even after all of this time I couldn't believe how beautiful she was, she actually look like an angle when she slept. She began to stir and slowly opened her eyes she looked at me frowning.
"Nik…." She questioned me a little confused, I couldn't help but smile at her as my Star was safe.
"I wanted to make sure you were ok, I heard what my bastard brother did to Damon. Which resorted you becoming hurt." She sat up in the bed and began to rub the sleep from her eyes.
"I'm fine, but you didn't need to come here." She began to climb out of the bed and walked past me, I turned and admire her.
"Star you may think I'm a monster, but I will always care for you wellbeing." She turned around seemed a little remorseful as she approached me slowly.
"I never called you that, and thank you for checking up on me, but I can handle myself." I got up from the bed. The problem I had is the fact my brother will not stop until he kills the hunter, or worse Star and I cannot allow anything to happen to her.
"Well that the thing sweetheart, I know my brother and he will be looking for you—" Star cut me off.
"Niklaus I can handle myself." She turned away and headed into the bathroom. Star has always been stubborn and with Stefan getting the dagger of Rebekah, Kol should be dagger in a few hours. I walked the stairs I could hear the brother talking in the basemen, it looks like Stefan back and time for me to babysit Damon. I made my way down there and Stefan throws a vial of blood into the cell.
"Oh man, really? You practically bled me dry. At least spring for a bag or something. I'm thirsty." As I approached the cell Stefan sets a water bottle between the bars of the door. "Not exactly what I had in mind." Damon gets up, groaning, and walks over to grab the water bottle. He see me standing on the other side.
"Hello, mate." Damon looked a little surprised to see; maybe it was due to the fact he bit into my wife throat, as much I wanted to beat the living daylight out of him I knew Damon had no control over what he did. He cared for Star like a brother, so my urges were not towards him but to my own brother.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I couldn't help but smile at him; I don't think Damon going to be very pleased with the arrangement that Stefan and I have made.
"Babysitting as you. You did attempt to kill my wife." I watched as Damon face began to fill with guilt a part of me knew he felt terrible for what he did to Star.
"Oh." was all Damon could really say.
"Give him a vial of blood every couple of hours, so he doesn't desiccate. If he gets too much strength back, or if he just annoys you, bleed him out again." I turned to Stefan and he handed me a vial of blood.
"Silent treatment, huh? Is that your best shot?" Damon looked at me. "He's still pissed at me for sleeping with Elena." So that's what the tension all about, of course Elena Gilbert, maybe Damon needed to know that his brother not lusting over Miss Gilbert no longer.
"You sure about that? Because I saw him trying to sneak out of Rebekah's bed this morning, which would suggest to me that he's moved on." Damon looked rather stunned by the news while Stefan sighed.
"Well, well. Looks like my brother ripped out a page of my revenge-sex handbook." Damon spoke rather proudly, I looked at Stefan and he appeared to be a little hurt by the statement. Did he sleep with my sister for revenge? Well to be quite frank I didn't care, Rebekah a thousand years old and if she and learnt by now when a man using for as a rebound more fool her.
"Well, why don't you two enjoy your little, uh, villain bonding time? I'll let you know when I get the dagger from Rebekah." Stefan leaves and I looked back in Damon cell.
"So would you like to enlighten me why my brother had told you to kill my wife?" Damon looked up at me a few emotions ran through his face.
"I think that something you should talk about with your dick brother." Damon laid back on the cot and looked up to the ceiling, part of me wanted to go in there and rip his head off but that won't win me any points with Star. I need to somehow play Mr Nice guy and get the information from Damon the nice way, I think this is going to be the most difficult thing I've ever done. I have keep in mind I'm doing it for one person and that Star.
Star P.O.V
After Stefan left last night I was left a little hurt by his comment I really left me lost for words, I mean it actually felt like he stuck a knife in my heart I couldn't understand why I even felt like that. I was the one who told that I wasn't good enough for him, and I was right Stefan pure of heart he deserved better than the likes of Elena Gilbert and myself. How could I be in love with two totally different people? Stefan who pure and noble and would do anything for anyone because that the way he is, heroic beyond means. Then Niklaus who filled with darkness, and works everything to his advantage and does not think about the consequences of his actions. How could I chose between them both, angelic Stefan who I knew would love me more than anything in this world, and then devil himself Niklaus who had shown me his caring side that none had seen before. Who had proven that he could love for another, but when I looked into his eyes all I could see is adoration for me. The best solution for both men is not to have me in their lives, to get use to the fact that I'm not in lives now. I will waken Silas and fulfil my destiny and I can finally lay in peace.
I wanted to walk away from it all tonight but two people were keeping me here and that was Damon and Jeremy, I couldn't walk away from neither of them right now. With Damon being compelled by Nik bastard brother to kill Jeremy and I, how I couldn't walk away? To have my last memory of Damon wanting to kill me? Then there was Jeremy a member of the five, I couldn't walk away from him I'm meant to be protecting him, and that what I'm going to do. I feel that Jeremy a lot stronger than what Connor was, and I know he will be the one to kill Silas. That's the kind of faith I had him in, there was something truly special about him.
When I woke up this morning I had Nik beside me watching me, for a moment I had weakness towards him, I knew under all of that bad hybrid persona he portrays there the Niklaus I fell in love with. But all I'll be doing is torturing myself I couldn't keep on having these weak moments with Niklaus, I had to be strong and remember my reason for keep away from him. I need to be strong. I couldn't be in the same room as him for too long, but he was concerned about what his brother had compelled Damon to do to me. As much as I wanted his help I couldn't get emotionally attached to him, so like always I brought up bitch mode. I could see that Nik was hurt by me not wanting his help, but like I keep telling myself this is the best way.
I got shower and changed into my jogging gear I think a good run will take all of this crap out of my mind even if it is for a short time. I made my way down the stairs I notice that no one was about, I really wanted to go down to the basement and check on Damon. I couldn't he was compelled to kill me, and I saw the hurt in his eyes last night when he saw me I couldn't torture him by going down there. I made my way out of the house and began to jog. I made my way through the woods and this was actually a great idea my mind felt clear right now. I approached a clearing and I stopped to do some sit up. I sat down on the ground and began after a few moment I felt a strange present around me. I sat up and looked around and there weren't anyone about I continued with my sit up's.
"Well I finally get to meet the strumpet who married my brother." I stopped and looked up and saw a young guy in front of me, with dark hair and spoke in the same kind of accent as Nik
"You must be Kol." This was the asshole that compelled Damon to kill me, and Jeremy I wanted to kick the crap out of him, but my abilities still on the fritz so I'm not going to attempt anything yet.
"Yes the one and only." He stood there admiring me like I was a piece of meat. "Well I can certainly see why my brother was so smitten in you." I got up from the ground and took a few steps away from him. "Now why would you be out here all alone?" He was rather smug, and I knew he was trying to scare me but I had to show I wasn't frighten.
"That's none of your business." I looked at him and he was cute, but I knew he was deadly. "What do you want?" I tried so hard to not show I was frighten, because he would use that to his advantage.
"Well your friend Damon had told me a lot about you, I mean the woman who destine to wake Silas who fell in love with my brother, who faked her own death to flee from him." He spoke as he began to approach me. "I don't blame you from running from him, his a bit of a tyrant." He stopped in his tracks and had this intrigued look on his face. "There one thing I would like to know, why would you give everything up to rise such evil?" I didn't know what to say to that, I guess I just wanted all this to be over with no one can truly live forever. "Nothing to say? Must be tiresome to be unum praeditos such a curse to be behoved on you. You know why I'm here don't you?" I knew exactly what he was doing here, attempting to finish off what Damon didn't.
"Kol, I know what you did to those vampires in the bar why are you doing everything in your power to stop this?" I just needed to understand why was he doing this, it wasn't going to affect him in any way.
"Well the thing is with myself being immortal I do not want to see hell on earth, and with you wanting to rise him that what will happen. So you can see why I'm oppose to it all." He turned away and began to pace. "You see Star I'm in a little bit of a predicament here, you're the one woman who Klaus ever love, his one and only true love now if I was to—" He stopped and looked at me. "—kill you! My brother will seek revenge, but from what I have been told my brother unaware of your involvement in the whole race to the cure." He had me there Nik had no idea of my connection to all this and he couldn't know, if Kol was to kill me right here right now he would only be leading himself to his own death.
"You kill me, and Nik will hunt you down until he drives a stake through your heart." The way Kol looked at me in that moment he knew that would be exactly what Nik would do.
"Very true about the staking darling but unfortunately for my dear brother he doesn't hold the one stake that can kill an Original. Dear, dear me such a waste of beauty." Are all the Mikaelson's big flirts? Seriously I think Elijah the only one who had his head screwed on.
"Don't flirt with me Kol, you have no idea of what I could do to you." He approached me closing the gap between us.
"Such ashamed to kill something so beautiful. My brother will be truly devastated." He spoke as he caressed my cheek. "As they say plenty more fish in the sea; I do recall Klaus having a thing for that blonde vampire what her name... Oh Caroline." He smirked. "So you won't be missed for too long." When I heard that Nik had a thing for Caroline, I felt jealous, but if I'm not planning on being here who I'm to stop Nik from being happy.
"You can threaten me all you want or tease me all you want about being missed that Niklaus will move on. It means nothing to me. You will not stop me from doing what needs to be done!" Of course it bother me that Nik would move on who I'm kidding, but if Silas isn't destroyed once and for all then I don't know what will happen. I have to keep focus and do what I have planned on doing for the last 12 years and fulfil my destiny.
"I'm so glad you think like that, you made everything a little easier knowing you have no feeling for my brother." He grabbed me by the throat. "I would love to see the true potential of the unum praeditos" He squeezed my throat while I was gasping for air, I flicked my hand trying to throw him away but it was no use it wasn't working.
"Let...me go" I scream whispered as my hand came in contact with his face sending him flying to the other side, he stood up and came at me again I used my speed to get to the other side.
"I'm impressed—" His face began to turn. "I do love chasing my prey." He charged at me, I didn't wait around for him I used my speed to get away from him, I could sense I lost him I was pretty fast for him. My first thought was to go to Nik and tell him what his brother had done, but if Kol on the war path, but if he came for me then he would surely go for Jeremy. I can't allow anything to happen to him I need to keep him safe.
Klaus P.O.V
I had been down here for a while with Damon and he hadn't said a word, I heard Star leave the house not so long ago, it really troubled me that she did not want to be near me. All I wanted was for us to return back to how we were before I made my stupid mistake. For over 500 years I have been dreaming to have Star back in my arms and one simple mistake, I lost it all but I knew deep down Star was beginning to forgive me slowly. In time I know I can win her over and we both have all the time in the world, because I have all eternity to win her heart over. I looked into Damon cell and he was lying down, tossing an object up in the air. As much as I wanted to go in there and tear his head off, I could because he was important to Star, and I need to get into her good graces.
"You know, none of this would be an issue if you'd have just done your job properly. I was perfectly willing to let you train Jeremy." That was the whole point I allowed Damon to train Jeremy, not to allow all these complications.
"No, you weren't. Are you kidding? You got there day two. Do you know how hard it is to get these Xbox brains to focus? Then with you dropping in Star bailed on me, she was the only one getting through to Jeremy." So Star was there to help the hunter? Of course she was some kind of guardian for them, that's something I still not entirely sure about being the whole truth.
"Well Star and I are temporary having a disagreement." Damon rolled his eyes. Of course he knew what happened, he and Star were thick as thieves, they close I would even say closer than the two brothers.
"Yeah I think striking you hand at her would cause that." Damon spoke with humour in his voice; I couldn't lose it with him he will going running to Star. I need to keep my composure around him, it not like he didn't speak the truth, I was to blame with what happened.
"I turned a room full of barflies into vampires for him to slaughter, you let Kol kill them." How could Damon allow my brother to do that, was he too busy making sure that he didn't do anything to upset his precious Elena.
"Your brother problem, not mine, buddy." I opened the cell door and walked in as Damon still continue to toss the object in the air.
"And whose bright idea was it to saddle Jeremy with a conscience, hmm?" Damon stopped and sat up to look at me, it was his stupid idea to even do that.
"Well, we couldn't have him trying to stake Elena in her sleep, now, could we?" Yes of course we needed to keep Elena safe my blood source to create my army of hybrids. That was my reason but Damon's reason were far different.
"Ah, yes, for the love of Elena. How is it that she manages to overlook every horrific thing you've ever done? Is it wilful ignorance, or perhaps something more pathological?" I questioned him Damon began to smirk he seemed amused by my comment.
"Some people are just more capable of forgiveness than others. Bet you score about a negative 500 in that realm." Damon always had an answer for everything, and oddly right now he didn't, I wanted to know how was it possible for him to have this one girl wrapped around his finger.
"Come on. There must be a secret. It can't just be the sire bond. What is it? Compulsion? Manipulation?" Damon doesn't reply. "What is it you say to her?" I wanted to know how after all the horrific things he had done Elena still chose to love him
"I think this has something to do with a certain unum praeditos. I think you regret hitting Star out of your rage, and I think you're worried that Star never going to forgive you." He was right that was my biggest fear is the fact that maybe I'm wrong, and Star will never forgive me for my actions.
"You've done worse." Damon began to shake his head. Which he had, he had killed Elena brother on two occasions, slept with his brother girlfriend, murder people out sheer pleasure, but out of all of it Elena still looked at him in adoration.
"Debatable. See, I don't mind being the bad guy, because somebody has to fill that role and get things done. You do bad things for no reason. You do them to be a dick." I disagree with that statement, I don't do certain things for no reason, just like I had my reason for killing Carol Lockwood the fact her son had set up to take me down, made me lose my temper and hurt Star.
"Debatable." I shot back at him, Damon shrugs.
"If you're gonna be bad, be bad with a purpose. Otherwise, you're just not worth forgiving." Damon lies back down and sigh. He goes back to throwing the object in the air. "You know I know Star better than anyone." He turned to me. "Klaus you need to let her go, because you holding on to her is hurting her, and if you love her as much as you say you do. Then you need to let her go." He turn away and continued to throw the object. I reflected on what he told me could I really let Star go? Could I do an unselfish act after thousand years and let the woman who stole my heart walk out of my life once again? I knew the answer to that and it was NO.
Star P.O.V
I kept running as fast as I could to get away from Kol I stopped, I couldn't let Kol run me out of town this was ridiculous if he was after me he would have surely catch up. So I turned around and made my way back into Mystic Falls my concern was for Jeremy, with the way that Kol spoke how determined he was to stop Silas from rising. He would go for Jeremy, he may not kill him but he could do other thing to him. I stopped for a few moments to gather my thoughts I had to go back and deal with Kol, I needed to stop being frightened of him, and put him down somehow even if it's for a short time. I continued to go in the direction of Gilbert home I didn't really have a plan, but maybe it would be best if I grabbed Jeremy and took him away from all of this. Only until his ready to continue growing his mark, yes that sound like a good plan, there was no rush if I had to wait until he was ready then that something I have to accept. I arrived at the Gilbert home and the door was opened while Elena stood on the porch looking a little worried.
"Elena?" I called out while I approached her, she looked at me a little worried.
"Star you shouldn't be here, Kol—" I cut her off before she could continue what she was about to say.
"I don't care about Kol, I'm here to make sure Jeremy is ok." Elena grabbed my arm and dragged me in, I stood in the foyer to see Jeremy walking from the kitchen, holding up a gun ready to shoot. l held up my hands surrender. "Jeremy it only me." He put the gun down.
"I'm sorry. He left. I mean, I – I tried to stall as long as I could." Elena spoke terrified beside me. Who was she on about? Before I could ask the doorbell rings.
"That's Bonnie. She was right behind me." Jeremy explains as Elena goes to open the door, but it wasn't Bonnie at all, but Kol.
"I've considered your request for a truce. Request denied." Kol spoke deadly before Elena slamming the door in his face.
"What the hell going on?" They both looked at me a little worried, and neither of them replied. "What the hell is Kol on about?" I looked directly at Elena as she had this guilty look on her face.
"I'm sorry. I've already been invited in!" We all disappeared in different areas of the house, I was in some bedroom upstairs I heard him kick the door open. "Hide and seek? Fine by me." This is not what I thought I would be walking into, what the hell have Elena and Jeremy done? And more importantly why the hell could Kol walk into their home?
Klaus P.O.V
The last words Damon spoke to me about letting Star go had been going around in my mind; I knew I couldn't let her go because I was that selfish hybrid who had to have what he wants. The one thing that kept spinning in my mind is the fact my brother roaming round and he wanting to ruin my plans to get to the cure. Then there was Stefan hadn't gotten back to me with this process with the dagger he was be rather annoying. How hard would it be to get the dagger? As I sat here thinking about what Kol compelled Damon to do that cost my wife life, not that his bite would kill her as far as I knew? It still didn't stop the fires of fury and hatred were smouldering in the small narrowed of my eyes as I weighed the pros and cons of the various and creative means available to me for exacting revenge. I had to snap out of this rage I was feeling it would only lead to me doing something I will later regret. I pulled my phone out looked at the screen to see if I had a message or even a missed call, but nothing.
"Your brother's lack of communication is infuriating." I hadn't heard a word from him since he left, and I was getting rather annoyed now.
"It's one of his trademarks, like his brooding and his hair." Damon teased I weren't in the mood for his sarcasm right now, I wanted to know why bloody hell it was taking so long.
"I don't understand what's taking so long. I mean, how hard could it be to steal a dagger is?" All he had to do was bloody pinch the damn thing from her.
"From a vampire who's been stabbed as many times as your sister, I'd say difficult." Damon was right Rebekah had been betrayed many times, I tosses Damon a vial of blood it was the least he deserved for reminding me that my sister doesn't trust easily. "Sweet." I thought Damon would have made my day more entertaining by trying to escape, by begging for freedom, but instead he was in here happily throwing that stupid thing in the air.
"You disappoint me, Damon. You're not trying very hard to get out of here. I expected more the daring escape artist, less the cell potato." He sat up and looked at me curiously.
"I am compelled to kill my best friend, and let's not forget Jeremy, so I figured it's probably smarter to sit here and chit-chat with you than bust out of here like the Hulk." He genuinely cared for Star more than I thought, maybe as much as I did. My phone began to ring I saw it was Kol and answers it.
"Well, if it isn't the happy homicidal maniac." I teased down the phone, Damon looked up as he could hear the conversation.
"Did you know that your darling former blood bag, and her brother are trying to kill me?" Did I hear that correctly they are trying to kill Kol, where they out of there damn minds?
"What?" I shouted down the phone, is this what they had been planning behind my back all day? Keeping me here babysitting Damon while they plotted away to take down my own brother.
"Don't pretend like you're not in on it. Your obsession to find the cure clearly trumps any sibling loyalty you once felt. Well the game gotten a little better brother." Kol thought I gad involvement in all of this? I had no bloody idea about any of this.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" If Kol thought I would conspired to have him killed then he was out of his mind.
"Tut tut tut Niklaus I'm going to rip off Jeremy's arm, and kill Elena just for sport. Then when I find that strumpet of a wife of yours I'm going rip her heart out, then I'll becoming for you." He cut off the line I felt anger that they had planned this all behind my back, and now Kol on the war path he was going to murder Star for something these fools have been planning. I grabbed Damon by the neck and shoves him against the wall.
"What the hell's going on?" I demanded Damon looked at me a little too confused, either he was putting on a good act or he had no idea what was going on.
"I don't know. You think I would do anything to harm Star!" As much as I wanted to believe that his intension were never to hurt Star, but he had to be lying to me.
"What are Stefan and Elena planning?" I knew I shouldn't of trust Stefan of course he would betray me, he would do anything to cut me out of this race to the cure.
"I don't know. I've been stuck in the penalty box with you since yesterday. Stefan won't talk to me." I began to use compulsion to get the truth.
"Tell me what you know!" I demanded I knew any plan they had Damon would have to tell me.
"I don't know anything about a plan." He really didn't have a clue of what was going on,
"Stay here till I return." I released Damon and left, slamming the door. I needed to find where Kol is before he does something incredibly stupid which will lead me to assuring his death, and it will be by my hands.
Star P.O.V
I was still hiding in the bedroom debating that I could possible take Kol down. Every time I went to the door to attempt it I backed away in fear, what if my powers didn't work. What if he end up hurting me or worse killing me. I'm certain Kol knew I was here, here I stood bloody frighten after thousand years of being like this, I had 12 years of training I'm being a coward hiding in some room. I jumped as I heard some commotion from outside the room, I reminded myself that the only reason I came here to make sure Jeremy was safe. Hiding in this room isn't keeping him safe, I gathered up my courage and made my way out of the room. As I opened the door I saw Elena on the floor with a wooden banister pole going through her abdomen, I was in two minds in helping her but now wasn't the time for me to be total bitch, so I rushed over to her.
"This may hurt." She looked up at me with pain in her eyes, but also surprised that I was helping her. "Ok on the count of 3-" She nodded. "—1..2..3." She braces her hands against the wall while I pulled the stake out. "Where Jeremy?" I asked while helping her up from the floor.
"Kol got him." She super sped down the stairs while I stood there, how were we meant to take down Nik brother? He was an Original… I took in a deep breath and made my way down too I walked into the kitchen. As soon as I went through the doors I saw Elena slams the cleaver into Kol's chest, shoving him against the counter. Jeremy releases his other arm and rushes to the sink. He grabs the spray hose and sprays Kol, he cries out in pain as the water hits him. What the hell going on? Elena moves away Jeremy keeps the water on Kol. Elena takes a very unusual stake from Kol's jacket, throwing it to Jeremy.
"Jeremy, now!" Jeremy catches the stake and stabs Kol through the heart with it. Kol screams and bursts into flames; I held my hand over my mouth I couldn't believe I was watching. Nik brother was dying right in front of me, I stood there frozen as Kol continues to scream as he staggers through the kitchen and falls to the floor, dead.
"What did you do?" I heard Nik voice from behind me, I turned to see him standing in the open doorway unable to enter the house, looking upset and angry.
"We didn't have a choice. He was trying to cut off Jeremy's arm!" Elena spoke with fear in her voice, Nik stood there looking horrified looking down at the burnt dead body of his brother. The way he looked at him broke my heart, this was going to destroy him. If I knew of what they had planned I would stopped them, this was going a step to far.
"Lies! He never would've gotten inside if you hadn't have set a trap for him!" Nik screamed, the rage and fury in his eyes began to frighten me, he looked the same as the night when he murdered those hybrids.
"You said you were going to put him down too after he nearly got Star killed." Elena tried to reason with him, I knew Niklaus he is many things, but he wouldn't have killed his brother, he would have punished him in some other kind of way.
"I was going to make him suffer on my terms!" He spoke with fury in his voice. "I'm going to burn this house to the ground. And then, when you try to flee for your lives, I'll kill you all without blinking." Did Nik think I had a hand in killing his brother? We both locked eyes, Nik looked at me with many emotions from hatred to sorrow, he looked broken I had never seen him this broken. They may have destroyed that last shed of humanity he had left.
"You kill us, you'll never get to the cure. You'll never be able to make any more hybrids." I turned to Jeremy I couldn't let him add more fuel to Nik.
"Jeremy you just killed his brother—" I began to say but Nik cut me off.
"You really think I care for an instant about my bloody hybrids? I want the cure so I can destroy it. I would've killed you all the second we dug it up, but now I'm just gonna watch you burn instead." Nik falls to the ground, crying out pain as he falling to his knees.
"Nik?" I went towards him to see what happened to him, but Bonnie walks in past him while he cried out in pain.
"Invite him in." Both Elena and Jeremy look at her, confused. "Do it!" As soon as Nik gets up I felt strange sensation run through me, as he fighting against something I felt light headed.
"Come in." Nik falls forward as Bonnie magically pulls him inside and immobilizes him, as he doing that I felt my legs about to give way I held onto the side of the door frame to stop me dropping. I think I just found out who has been using expression and drawing from my power.
"Living room. Go!" Elena and Jeremy run through the living and into the kitchen, while gathered up my strength I walked towards Bonnie I didn't know what she was going to do with Nik, but if she hurt him I will hurt her with whatever strength I have. Nik follows, but he can't get into the kitchen. He punches at the air, but there is an invisible barrier stopping. I felt myself regain my strength and I shot a look at Bonnie who gave me an apologetic look. I turned to see Jeremy pulling the white oak stake out of Kol, and he and Elena run towards the door, while Nik continues to pound on the barrier.
"Witch, you can't do this to me!" He screamed once again in fury. She had put up a spell to imprison him here but why?
"You have no idea what I can do now." She spoke to him dangerously, then she turned to me and gave me a small smile and began to walk away. I stood there looking between the front door and Nik every part of me wanted to scream at Bonnie for using expression magic, that she was the reason why I have been behaving the way I have. Then when I looked at Nik I knew I couldn't just leave like this, I couldn't walk away from him without saying everything that I needed to tell him.
"I will hunt all of you to your end! Do you hear me? Do you!?" He screamed as Elena, Bonnie leave the house, but Jeremy stops and turns to me.
"Star are you coming?" I stood there with my heart aching, because I could see the man who I loved in pain. The pain of losing his brother, I couldn't just walk away from him.
"I'll be fine. Just leave." Jeremy nodded and walked out and turned to Nik as he pounds against the barrier futilely, but there was no use that barrier would be up for days there was no escape. "Nik I'm sorry about what happened to your brother." His face was filled with rage, I knew if he could get pass that barrier he would murder me for sure.
"No, you are not sorry. Are you?" He spoke with venom in his voice, I didn't know that they were going to do that to Kol. If I had known I would of…. I would stop it somehow.
"I didn't know what they had planned Nik. I came here and Kol went all murderous trying to kill Jeremy." I could see that he didn't believe anything I was telling him. "Kol attacked me in the woods earlier, he came there to kill me Nik." He kept looking over at his dead brother body on the floor, I could feel Nik pain and all I wanted to do was comfort him, but he thinks that I played a part in Kol death.
"Really, Star? You expect me to believe that?!" I approached him keeping on the other side of the barrier the way he looked at me right now with such hatred felt like a stab to the heart.
"I know you're hurting, and the last thing I ever wanted to see is you hurt Nik." I just wish I could take the pain away from him I wish I could of stopped it all, but I wasn't that gifted to take someone suffering away, especially someone as powerful as Niklaus.
"Oh, trust me love, as soon as I'm out of here I'm will make your hunter suffer for what he did." As Nik spoke I could see the pain in his eyes, I needed to try and get through to him reason with him.
"I'm the unum praeditos Nik, you know Kol would done anything to stop Silas." I felt frighten to talk to him of course Nik didn't the depths of my involvement in rising Silas, and maybe he should know now as this will be the last time I'll ever see him. "I'm the only one who can wake him Nik. I'm a big part of getting to that cure and Kol knew that he knew killing me will stop it all." He had to know the truth, I couldn't go to the other side without Nik knowing it would have been selfish of me not to explain it to him.
"What do you mean? Kol knew about what?" He was so consumed in his grief right now that he really didn't understand what I was trying to tell him. Nik was heartbroken already and now I'm going to hurt him more with telling him the truth.
"What I mean Niklaus with me being unum praeditos I was born for one reason, and that was to raise Silas. The only way the cure can be freed is to wake him, and my blood is the only way that will happen. So you could see why your brother was determined to kill me." He looked taken back by the revelation of this all, I really didn't want to tell him like this, in honesty I never actually was going to tell him. With everything that happened he deserved to know why his brother was taken down. I watched as he began to absorb everything in, he took a few steps back with a look of disbelief on his face.
"You are joking, aren't you?" It wasn't sinking in, he either was in denial or he didn't believe me. "So, Silas needs your blood and then what? You work with him to fulfil his needs?" The dreaded question that I didn't want to answer, but I owed Nik this. I'm not going to come back I need for him to know the truth, and this time he deserved a goodbye
"I won't be working along with him—" How was I meant to tell him this? I looked up to see him looking me with confusion. "I will—" God I didn't know how to tell him that I'm going to die so the brotherhood can fulfil their cause. How can I tell the man I love that he wouldn't see me again, was a lot harder than I ever thought.
"You will what...?" He spoke calmly as he came a little closer to the barrier. "You need to tell me the truth Star, its least I deserve from you I think?" I couldn't even look at him as I knew this was going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
"When I offer Silas my blood, to complete awaken him, he has to drain me to the point of my death." I slowly looked up and Nik standing there speechless, jaw gaping open eye widen in despair. "I'm sorry you had to be told like this, but this is what I was always meant to do." Nik had a tears rolling down his cheek, he crouched down and putting his hands on his head.
"No, no, no no! This is not happening!" He zoomed towards me, but got deflected by the wall. He pounded his hands on the barrier. "You are wrong! You are meant to be with me!" All I could see the hurt and rage in his face, yes that what I thought that I could have a normal life, but I couldn't because no matter what I couldn't live this life anymore. I knew I could never have a happy ending
"Niklaus I've lived for over a thousand years for this one moment, I've lived in fear of people finding out who I'm. I can't have a normal life Nik, no matter how much try." For the first time ever I looked at him and saw a broken man, he looked up at me clenching his jaw before getting to his feet.
"You could have told me about this!" He tried not to shout but Nik could never control emotion at the best of time.
"I didn't expect to see you again not after 500 years, and when I did see you everything I felt for you came flooding back." Why I'm telling him this? Oh yeah because he deserved to hear the truth from me once and for all. "How was I meant to tell you Nik that I would have to leave you, and die for real this time... would you have let me go and do that?" He stood there with such sorrow, he was dealing with the fact that his brother on the kitchen floor, and now I'm telling him I'm going down the same path. Nik didn't deserve any of this no matter how evil people think he was. Niklaus will always be my first love, and couldn't see him for the monster that he was. "Not going to answer then? Because you and I both know you wouldn't." I spoke to him calmly he stood there in silence. "I'm really I'm sorry about Kol, and if you believe me or not I didn't know what they had planned." I turned away from him and began to walk to the front door that wasn't the way I wanted to walk away from him, but Nik would never forgive me for what happened here.
"Star why do you have to wake Silas." He called out I turned to him. "I would rather lose the cure than lose you forever." I felt a lump build up in my throat as I looked at him, because I knew that he spoke the truth he would give everything up to have me in his life.
"Being immortal Nik I could never have all the things I wanted, yes I was fortunate to fall in love and marry you but there always will be that void in my life. The void of knowing I would never be a mother." I approached him. "It's been written from the moment I was born that I'm the one who meant to take down the greater evil from this world. That's the burden that been place upon me, it's my time to finally be at peace." He came closer to the barrier until he couldn't go any further.
"But I love you Star, I want to spend all eternity with you, I know I could never give you the gift of being a mother but I could give you the life you deserve…. and entity together." He had tears rolling down his cheeks, I had to say goodbye to him as hard as it going to be.
"I'm sorry Nik, you will always be the first man who stole my heart and even in my death you will have tight hold of it" I began to approach him and flicked my hand so he couldn't move, I close the gap between us and touched his cheek. "I love you Niklaus Mikaelson, always and forever." I gently kissed his lips, I could feel tears streaming from both of our cheeks as we had our final kiss. After a long moment I pulled away I looked into his eyes for the final time. "Goodbye Niklaus." I stepped back and flick my hand so he could move, I turned away from him and began to walk away.
"Star don't leave me…Star please!" I walked out of the front door knowing I couldn't turn back, as much as I wanted to. "Star Nooooo" I could hear his screams even as I walked further down the street, it pained me walking away from him, but I had to do this now. I was devastated to walk away from Nik, each step I took away from him the more lost I became as I recalled the words we spoke on our wedding night
Flashback—1490 London England
Nik carried me into our bedroom chambers, I giggled as he placed me on the bed, I looked up to see my new husband looking down at me with adoration in his eyes. His lips brush mine. Not innocently, like a tease but hot, fiery, passionate and demanding. I want to pull away before I lose myself but I can't seem to…In this minty moment, my senses have been seduced and I can no longer think straight.
"Star Mikaelson." He whispers slowly, prolonging each letter as if to savour them. I smile, my heart fluttering at his voice as I clasp my hands on either side of his face. Never before has my name ever felt so wonderful a one, I think, as I lean in for another, but he kept a little distance between my lips to his. "I promise to be yours forever…If you'll be mine for always…"
"That I can promise you Niklaus, always and forever."
