A/N: Alright everyone here it is the final chapter, but don't worry there will be an epilogue posted after this so you will have not only this chapter to read but the epilogue as well and in the epilogue I will tell you all if there will be a sequel to this story or not. Now for this chapter it took me a while to decide if I was going to just use one person's point of view or switch it up (like I normally do) but in the end I have decided to make this an outside point of view that way I can get everyone's reactions and thoughts in without a ton of confusion. Without further ado I give you…..

All Must Sacrifice

Precisely at 10 that night Bella was awoken by Klaus;

"Come now my little spell caster; it's time to set us free." Klaus said as Bella stood up.

Bella smiled to herself because Klaus had no idea what was in store for him and all of his followers. With time you were supposed to get wiser, but Bella could see that time had only made Klaus feel cocky and invincible, but not for very much longer.

Downstairs in the basement everyone was being rounded up and were then led out to vans. No one spoke because no one knew what to say; they knew what was coming they just couldn't bring themselves to say goodbye. Jake on the other hand was perfectly calm; he knew that this would work because Bella had said so and she hadn't been wrong before yet something tugged in the back of his mind as if there was something that was hidden in plain sight. He didn't understand it and although he had tried to figure it out it was a futile task. Jake looked out the window and saw Bella being led out by Klaus who had a grip on her arm;

Are you alright? Jake heard Bella's voice ask in his head.

Yeah; you? He responded.

I'm fine just remember when I give the signal be ready. Bella replied.

Don't worry just make sure the ropes are loose enough. He said and inwardly smiled.

Jake hated keeping everyone else in the dark, but he knew for this to work he had to. When it was all over they would all go back to being normal, but as that thought crossed his mind the little thing in the back of his mind tugged trying to let him know but once again he ignored it.

Bella sat in the car next to Klaus; he kept talking about her joining him, but eventually she tuned him out. She had to stay focused because as the time came closer she became frightened. Bella tried to act strong but in reality she didn't want to die; she wanted to live and see where her life would take her. She wanted to see where she and Damon would end up, but alas that wouldn't happen. Although the fear she felt was almost overwhelming the knowledge she had that her friends….no…..her family would be safe was enough to keep the fear from overtaking her. She loved them so much and knew the moment she realized what she had to do that if she had to go then this was the way; dying in the place of someone you love.

They arrived at the cemetery and everyone piled out. Klaus stood in front of Bella's friends;

"We haven't formally met; now I know all of you but you don't know me….I'm Klaus. Now shall we get started?" Klaus said and wrapped his arm around Bella's shoulder causing her to cringe, "After this is over remember what I said Isabella you will be mine."

A growl erupted from Damon's chest surprising Bella and causing Klaus to walk over to him;

"What's wrong Salvatore from what I understand you don't care about her?" Klaus said.

"Don't touch her." Damon said and Klaus drove the stake further into his stomach causing him fall to his knees.

"Listen to me you little boy I will do as I please and it pleases me to touch although I would rather have some more intimate moments." Klaus said and look at Bella.

Bella walked over to Klaus and grabbed his hand, "I suggest you leave him alone if you want anything from me." She said.

Klaus stood up and looked her dead in the eyes; most people would look away, but Bella refused to be intimidated and she didn't waiver. This act would have seemed small and insignificant if anyone was on the outside of this group, but it wasn't. Normally Klaus would have killed someone for this act, but with Bella he found himself more intrigued by her and laughed;

"I am going to enjoy our time together." Klaus said and stepped away from Damon.

Bella looked at Damon and then turned away confused as to why he would defend her after his comments. Damon himself was just as confused; something within him told him that he had to defend Bella, but he didn't understand it. He wasn't the only one who got defensive when Klaus did that to Bella; everyone else did as well and they were confused. None of them realized that the tugging in the back of all of their brains was their subconscious trying to get them to see what was happening. They could feel something was coming and it wasn't what they assumed was happening.

Klaus and Bella led the way and as they walked he snaked his arm around her waist pulling her closer and Bella tried to pull away;

"Oh now Isabella just enjoy the attention I'm giving you; most women would be lining up to be in your position." Klaus whispered in her ear.

Bella tensed even more, "That may be but I'm not one of them and I suggest you keep your distance." And she shoved against him causing her to lose her balance and fall down cutting her knee.

All Klaus' vampires turned their attention to Bella and made their way to her, but Klaus stopped them.

"One step and I kill you all; you all are expendable she isn't." he stated and immediately the vampires backed off. Klaus turned to Bella and offered her his hand, "See Isabella I can protect you and I can give you everything you could ever want."

Bella stood on her own swatting his hand away, "The only thing I want from you is your death, but that's not gonna happen."

Klaus wrapped his hand around Bella's throat not too tight, but enough to let her know he was serious, "Isabella you are testing my patience."

"And you're pissing me off now get your hands off my throat." She said and he released her.

Bella could have used her powers if she wanted to, but she couldn't risk it; if he were to get angry everything would be ruined and she could tell he was a proud man that would only allow her to push him so far.

They continued to walk until they reached the altars and Bella finally looked at each and every one of her friends.

Leah was so angry that they had to sedate her so she would be of no use, Tyler was fighting, but had finally stopped and just looked at Bella pleading with her to stop. Bonnie was holding her head high; if she was going out she would do it with dignity just like her Grams. Matt didn't know what to feel so many things ran through his mind but he knew he was only human and useless against these people. Jake was calm and kept eye contact with Bella waiting for her signal. Anna was working a way to get loose and kill Bella before she did anything and Jeremy was wondering how Bella could do this to them. Stefan just stared at Elena and then looked at Bella; he thought that she could be trusted but once again he was fooled. Caroline kept looking for a way to escape; the fear radiating off of her. Finally Bella's eyes fell on Damon; his eyes held pain and betrayal, but something else as well….worry. It wasn't worry for anyone who was supposed to be sacrifice if was worry for Bella. He could feel the pull to protect her and yet he wanted to fight the pull but he just couldn't.

"So my little witch what first?" Klaus asked Bella.

"I get to say goodbye." Bella responded and walked over to her family. "I'm so sorry." Was all she managed to say.

She walked close to Jake and stared at him as he fought against the ropes for show. Bella used her powers and loosened the rope;

Loose enough? She mentally asked Jake.

Jake had to stifle the laugh that about escaped him and he told her yes.

Bella then moved to Damon, "Do you remember they day I left after Chris died?" she asked and Damon nodded and thought back to that day;

(Flashback two years ago)

Damon couldn't just let Bella leave because of one small incident so he ran at vampire speed and waited for her in the middle of the road.

Bella was crying as she drove; she didn't want to leave but she thought it was best. As she rounded the corner she wiped her eyes and didn't see Damon until the last second and swerved to miss him almost wrecking the car. When she finally stopped skidding she got out and started yelling at Damon;

"What the hell Damon you almost made me wreck." She said.

Damon ignored her rant and grabbed her by the shoulders, "Bella don't go please." He begged.

Bella turned away from him, "I can't stay." She said, "I need to get away from this, from here. I almost killed Damon," she turned to face him, "I wouldn't have been able to live with myself if I had."

"I need you here Bella to keep me in line and call me on my bullshit." Damon said, "You're the only one that gets me."

Bella placed a hand on Damon's cheek, "I can't be the one to keep you in line anymore."

Damon knew he wouldn't win so he went with the alternative, "Then promise you'll come back."

Bella smiled, "I promise that if you promise that no matter what happens you will not do anything to get yourself killed."

"I can't promise that." Damon said, "You know me."

"Then I can't promise you…..goodbye Damon." Bella said and walked back to the car.

(End flashback)

"Promise me then, now that no matter what happens you won't do anything that will get you killed." Bella said.

Damon saw the desperation in her eyes and something made him say yes. He watched as she walked to the altar and observed as Elena, Tyler, Caroline, and Bonnie were tied down.

Tyler was placed on the altar that represented earth which was normally based around family and Tyler's curse was bound in his blood. Bonnie was placed on air; air was universally connected to everything and being a witch so was Bonnie. Caroline was placed on water since it represented cleansing and to start a new which by dying she had. Finally Elena was placed on the fire altar and to Bella it was no surprise why; fire represented transformation and more commonly inner strength which in recent days she had shown.

Bella stood in the middle of the altars and looked at the moon and then at her watch it was now 4 and the time had come to finish what was started so many centuries ago.

"I need you to place your rings in the fire." Bella said pointing to the fire in front of Elena's altar.

Klaus and the other originals did as they were told and Bella began to chant. No one understood what she was saying, but they assumed it to be the spell to free the vampires…it wasn't. Bella was reciting the spell to seal the curse forever and offering her life in exchange for was she was asking. Bella raised the knife above Elena and looked at her; Elena gave a little nod to let Bella know it was ok and then closed her eyes. Stefan and the others watched as Bella took a deep breath, waiting for the knife to plunge into Elena, but it never happened. Instead Bella with knife still raised above Elena looked at Klaus and said;

"Before we go any further there's something I have to tell you."

"What is that?" he asked smirking.

"I tricked you." Bella responded and used throwing Klaus and few others into the cage. "JAKE NOW!" Bella yelled.

Jake freed himself from the ropes and threw the vampires that were by him and the others into the cage. Bella took the knife and cut Elena free;

"What's going on?" Elena asked confused.

Bella smiled, "You didn't think I'd kill you did you?" Bella quickly cut everyone else free and turned to Jake, "In the bushes behind you are packs of blood get them."

Damon stayed frozen as he watched Bella throw Klaus and the others somewhere to the right. When Klaus stood and tried to go for Bella he was trapped. Damon watched as Bella cut the others free and Jake ran to some bushes returning with packets of blood. Elena, Caroline, Bonnie, and Tyler ran over to the others and began untying and pulling out the stakes.

"Bella come on." Jake said as he checked Bonnie over.

Damon looked at Bella and she held a sad look; she took the knife and cut her right hand than placed it on the ground causing a white glow to surround them and then disappear.

"Bella?" Matt asked and tried to reach for her but like the vampires in the trap he couldn't get out. "Bella what's going on?"

"I'm sorry I didn't want it to be like this but it has to be." Bella said.

Damon rose and walked over fighting against the invisible wall, "Bella get in here now." He said.

"I can't this has to end." She said.

"How Bella there is no ending it." Bonnie said.

"Yes there is by sealing curse with my blood and destroying the moonstone." Bella said.

The little thing tugging in the back of Jake's mind finally broke through and he realized what she was going to do.

"Bella don't we can figure another way." He said.

"There is no other way; Ní mór do gach íobairt." Bella said, "All must sacrifice. I love you guys."

The sun had begun to rise and Klaus was fighting hard against the trap;

"Let me out you witch or you will suffer." Klaus yelled.

"No I won't." Bella said and began the final step.

"I call upon my family power to aid me now in this hour.

Seal the curse forever more with my blood as it pours."

Bella took the athame and stabbed herself just below her left breast, then took the athame out and plunged it into the middle of the moonstone causing it to lite on fire and be destroyed.

Bella's friends watched as she did this and although they tried to get out they couldn't. Bella slumped down in front of the fire altar and looked at Klaus;

"It's gonna be a beautiful day." She said clutching her wound. "You won't get out of there until my heart stops beating so let's enjoy the sunrise together."

Bella looked over to her friends and smiled.

"Bella let us out." Elena said.

"Like them you won't get out until I'm dead and even if I could get you out I won't. This is the only way." Bella responded growing weaker by the second as her blood poured from her wound.

"Sirena," Damon said, "don't leave me."

"I'll never leave you." Bella said her breathing slowing as the sun began to rise.

Klaus and the others started to burn. Bella watched, but she couldn't hold on to any longer and as she fell to the ground she felt peace and content in knowing now her family was safe.
