Chapter 13

I got a call first thing in the morning from Stefan. He said that Elijah wasn't in the cellar anymore and that was because Elena removed the dagger. I rushed over to the Salvatore Boarding house to see for myself and sure enough, Elijah wasn't there. The boys and I gathered in the living room where I called Elena. She told me that Elijah was a noble man and that she could trust him. She needed answers and I knew the only person we could ask was him.

I decided to go back home to check up on Aunt Jenna. Justin was in the lair doing some research on Klaus and Jeremy was gone. Aunt Jenna kept talking about 'Ric' and how he wanted to go to The Grill to 'talk'. I kept on telling her a bunch of times to cancel and forget about him.

I walked inside and saw Aunt Jenna standing by the kitchen door. "Hey," I said with a smile. "Aunt Jenna thank God you didn't go to The Grill. Thanks for listening to me"

"Um…Alex" she said quietly.

"No, listen I'll explain everything, please"

Aunt Jenna looked at me…scared and then around the corner. Klaus stood in front of the door. "Hello Alex," he said with a smile. "How's it going?" I took a step towards Aunt Jenna as I gripped onto the wand in my back pocket. "Oh, Alex," he said. "Don't be so scared. I'm making lunch in the kitchen. Join us"

I turned my head to look at Aunt Jenna as she gave me a slow nod. I turned my head back to Klaus. "Sure," I said. "Let me just," I looked at the basement door out of the corner of my eye. "Just go…invite Justin"

I went to walk pass Klaus but he stood in front of me. "I don't think we need to bother your brother at this time. Why not just the three of us?" he asked with a smile.

I glared at him as I took a step back. "Fine" He gave me another smile before walking back to the counter where a knife surround by vegetables sat.

I grabbed the phone out of my pocket and press the speed dial for Stefan's phone and then quickly shoved it back into that same pocket. I looked at Aunt Jenna one more time before making my way to the kitchen and Aunt Jenna followed. I could feel the buzzing from the phone in my back pocket and knew that it was Stefan talking.

"So….Alaric," I said fairly loud. Klaus looked up at me. "What bring you to our home" I said fairly loud again. The buzzing stopped and I knew Stefan got the message.

"Well," he said. "Jenna cancelled our date at The Grill so I thought I would come visit her here instead" He looked back down and started chopping the carrots.

A few minutes passed and there was a knock at the door. "I wonder who that could be" Aunt Jenna said as she walked to the front door.

I looked at Klaus and smiled. "Yeah, I wonder" Klaus glared at me.

The front door opened and Stefan walked up to me. "Hey," he said as he rubbed my arm. "Are you ok"

"I'm fine" I said before looking back at Klaus.

Aunt Jenna came back into the kitchen and stood beside us. Klaus smiled at us and went back to chopping more carrots. "You know," Klaus said as he brought the knife up and examined it. "I find chopping…Calming. The feel of the blade in the hand"

"Yeah," I said. "Every time I hold up a blade I always feel a little bit like Buffy," I looked at Klaus straight in the eye. "Going in for the kill" He gave me a smirk before looking back at Aunt Jenna.

"I'm still," Aunt Jenna said. "waiting for someone to tell me what the hell's going on"

"Well," Klaus looked back at me. "Would you like to tell her, Alex, or should I?" I glared at him.

"Tell me what?"

The basement door opened and Justin came threw the door. He stood there in shock looking at Klaus. "Ah!" Klaus said with a big grin. "Everybody is here now. Now we can all hear this story" Justin looked at me and I knew right away what he thought. I gave him a nod and gestured him to come over to us. He slowly walked over to us and stood in between Aunt Jenna and Stefan. "Anyway," Klaus said before looking back at Jenna. "Do you believe in vampires, Jenna?"

Of coarse she did, she grew up with wizards all her life. She knew every monster from vampires to griffins. I just don't think she's ever seen one up close.

"No?" He asked with a laugh. "Well, who does, right? But believe it or not, they do have a place in our history," Klaus then looked at Stefan. "and as a history teacher, I find them…fascinating"

"Why are we talking about this?" Aunt Jenna looked between Klaus and me.

"Well, you've been angry with me for keeping secrets and this is one of my secrets. I'm obsessed with vampires. There. I said it" He laughed as he walked over to the stove and started string something around.

"Are you joking?" Aunt Jenna asked.

"Not at all," Klaus looked at Stefan over his shoulder. "How about you, Stefan? Are you a fan of vampires?"

We all looked at Stefan. "In literature," Stefan said roughly. "Bram Stoker. It's dense, but I appreciate it"

Klaus smiled and looked at Justin. "How about you Justin? Are you in love with vampires?"

I looked at Justin who had his mouth wide open. Klaus knew about Juliet. Well, of coarse he did. I remember all that information Juliet knew about him. Somebody would only know that information if they actually knew them.

"Of coarse he does," I said as I slapped my hand on the back of Justin's shoulder. Justin jerked a bit before looking at me. "He's a really big fan of the Blade movie and comics," Klaus glared at me again. "As for me, really big fan of True Blood all the…suspense and gore really makes me feel like there are actual vampires out there" I smiled.

Klaus looked at me one more time before turning back to Stefan. "Did you know that vampires are the oldest creatures of the night?" He then looked at Aunt Jenna. "Except for werewolves, of course"

"Werewolves," she said staring at him blankly. "Werewolves. Now I know your joking"

"You know, I've read that there's an Aztec curse on both species that keeps werewolves slaves to the Moon and vampires bound by the Sun," He looked at Stefan. "Isn't that right, Stefan?" Stefan didn't say anything. Klaus looked back at Aunt Jenna. "You know, they say these creatures would do anything to have this curse broken and that they wouldn't care who they had to kill to do it"

Klaus finished making lunch and we all picked at hour food as we sat in chairs around the table. Klaus kept going on and on about vampires and werewolves. "Oh," Klaus said. "I know this all sounds so crazy," I looked at Aunt Jenna and saw her glaring at him. "But…vampires are real," I looked at Stefan who was looking at me. Klaus got out of his chair and walked up to the kitchen counter. "Would you care for some more wine?"

Aunt Jenna dropped her fork. "Get out" she demanded.

"Excuse me?" Klaus asked, shocked.

"I don't know what it is you're tying to do or why you're saying these things, but-"

"Jenna" Klaus cut her off.

"I said get out!" she demanded one more time.

Stefan got out of his chair slowly and walked up to Klaus. I did the same but stood behind Stefan, gripping onto my wand. "You heard her" Stefan said.

"I'm afraid I don't want to" he said glaring at Stefan. "

Fine!" Aunt Jenna jumped out of her seat. "I'll go" she said as she tried to walk in between Klaus and Stefan but Stefan but Klaus brought up a knife and pointed it at Aunt Jenna.

"You're not going anywhere" he said. Justin jumped out of his seat and at the same time, I took my wand out and pointed it at him. Aunt Jenna looked at us in shock but at that moment, Stefan grabbed Klaus and pinned him against the wall and drive the knife slowly on his throat.

"Stefan!" Aunt Jenna screamed.

"Alex, Jenna, Justin, get out of here now" he demanded.

"No Stefan," I said pointing my wand at Klaus. "I won't leave you"

"You can't kill me, Stefan" Klaus said.

"Watch me!"

"Stefan" I said calmly.

"I may not have a witch protecting me today but if you kill this body, what's to stop me from choosing Jenna as my next one?"

"Alex, go"

"But Stefan" I said.

"I said go!" He screamed at me as he turned around and looked at me with those fangs and blood red eyes. I reminded me of the night in the woods when Stefan was kidnapped by those tomb vampires. How he pinned the leader against the tree and was stabbing him multiple times and when I tried to stop him he did the same thing.

I gave Stefan a nod and looked at Aunt Jenna and Justin. "He's serious guys," I said. "Let's go" I grabbed Aunt Jenna's hand and ran out the front door. Justin followed behind. We closed the front door behind us.

"What's going on you two?" she asked demanding.

"Aunt Jenna," I said. "Well explain everything but first let's get out of her. I raised my wand, that I still had in my hand, and flashed us in front of the Salvatore Boarding house. Justin and I looked at each other before looking back at Aunt Jenna. "You have some serious explaining to do you two" We both nodded and walked inside.

I opened the door and Elena ran pass me. "Where is she?" She asked. "Is she ok?"

"Yes," I said. "She's fine. Thanks for coming"

"Its family. I would do anything for my family" she said as she continued to the study. Aunt Jenna was sitting on the couch crying while Justin was sitting on the chair beside the couch. "Oh, Jenna," Elena said as she walked up to her. "Thank God" she took one more step towards her but Aunt Jenna leaned back.

"No" she said.

"Aunt Jenna," I said as I took a step closer to her. "I'm so sorry. We all are. I know we promised you-"

"When I was little," she interrupted me as she spoke to Elena. "you mom used to tell me bedtime stories. Stories about vampires. I never thought that what she said could be true. I never thought what my brothers teased me about was true," she then looked at me. "I never told you all the truth about the Wizard Competition,"

Justin and I gave each other a look before looking back to her. Aunt Jenna took a deep breath in and out and then started explaining.

"Remember when I told you that Miranda and I didn't want to be in the wizard completion?" Justin and I both nodded. "That was a lie. It's not that we didn't want to be in it…it was that our mother told us not to go. She told Miranda, Megan and I that it was too dangerous and she didn't want us to get hurt. Miranda and I accepted it but…Megan was determined to win those powers…she lost it when she didn't"

"Aunt Jenna," I said. "We need to tell you something," Elena sat beside Aunt Jenna and I grabbed a chair and pulled it in front of her and sat in it. "Grandma…didn't say that because she didn't want you to get hurt. She said that…because you couldn't be in the Wizards Competition"

"What do you mean?"

I looked at Justin and he gave me a nod and I looked back into her watery eyes. "Aunt Jenna…you and Aunt Miranda and Megan were all adopted"

"What?"

"Your parents were killed when you were younger and Grandpa and Grandma took the liberty of taking you and raising you as their own"

"Your Dad told you two this secret but not me?"

"No, Dad and Kelbo don't know. I found out from Isabella"

"Whose Isabella?"

"My great great grandmother," Aunt Jenna's eyes popped out of her sockets. "who looks just like me…and is a vampire"

"Aunt Jenna," Justin said as she looked at him. "Vampires are real and I'm sorry we kept this from you for this long. We should've told you before"

"You two," she said. "Promised me that you would keep this away from Elena and Jeremy"

"We tried," I said. "We really did but…with all the events that went on before…they were going to find out eventually"

"Who else knows? John?"

We all nodded. "We lied to you to protect you"

"Protect me?"

"Jenna," Elena said. "I'm so sorry. I will…We will tell you everything"

"No, Elena that's no the point…the point is I am the one whose supposed to be protecting you and Jeremy," she looked at Justin and I. "And you two"

"We know" I said.

"There's nothing you could have done," Elena said. "There's so much more to it-"

"No, this is…this is so…I don't' know how…it's" Aunt Jenna then started crying into her hands.

"I know" Elena said as she went to rub her back but Aunt Jenna looked back at her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Elena looked up to me, wondering what to say. She looked back at Aunt Jenna. "I'm scared"

"I know," Elena hugged Aunt Jenna "I'm sorry, Jenna. I am so, so sorry"

We took Aunt Jenna to her room after and left her in there with Justin so he could explain everything to her. Elena closed the door behind her and followed me down the hall where I stopped in front of Stefan. "Is she gonna be ok?" Stefan asked me.

"Um…yes and no," I said. "We tried telling her everything. Justin is still in there explaining"

"I'm so sorry, Alex. I hate this"

"Don't say that," I said as I cupped his face in my hands. "If anyone should be blamed, it should be me"

"Anyway," Elena said. We both looked at her. "I have to go back to Elijah" she said as she walked around us.

"Are you crazy?" I asked as I ran up and grabbed her arm.

"Alex, I promised him that I would return. I can't break that promise"

I nodded. "Are you sure you'll be ok?"

"I promise" She said as she backed away and went for the front door and saw Damon walking down the hall with that bubble head, Andie Star.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked sternly.

"Back to Elijah" She said as Damon ran up in vampire speed and stopped in front of her.

"No"

"Damon," I said as I walked up to the both of them. "Leave her alone. Let her go"

I grabbed Elena's arm and pushed her towards the door but Damon grabbed my arm. "If she steps out the door-"

"Damon, easy" Andie said softly.

"Stay out of this, Andie" he said still looking at me.

"Let her go" Stefan said.

"Are you kidding me? We just go her back and you two think letting her go again is the smartest thing?"

Stefan grabbed my arm. Damon looked down at Stefan hand around my arm and then glared at Stefan. "You heard me. I said let her go" he whispered.

"That's twice today you've stood in my way," Damon said to Stefan. "I wouldn't try a third"

He released my arm and I continued to push Elena towards the front door. "Do you want me to come with you?" I asked her.

"No," she said. "I promised Elijah I would talk to him alone. I'll give you the details later"

I nodded and then gave her a hug. "Call me if you need anything" I said still hugging her.

"I will" We pulled apart and she walked out the door.

Maddox and I walked threw the front door of Alaric's apartment and saw Klaus standing by the entrance while Katherine sat on the couch behind him.

"Maddox, Isabella," he said. "What took you so long?"

"Well," I said. "You don't exactly pack lightly" He rolled his eyes before looking at the two men walking threw the door carrying his bags.

I turned to looked at the front door and I saw the queen of the bitches, Greta. If I had it my way, I would have Greta killed by now but, Klaus' orders and right behind her came Marisol.

"Greta," Klaus said with a smile. "Marisol. Finally"

"Hello, love" Greta said softly with a smile. I rolled my eyes.

"Ooo," Marisol said in her thick accent. "Nice body. Are you sure you don't want to stay in it for a while longer? I wouldn't mind keeping it"

Klaus shook his head. "No, I can't wait to get out of this useless body and into my new one"

We heard something coming down the hallway and we all turned around and saw the box where Klaus' real body was placed.

"Well," I said as I clapped my hands together "let's get this started"

Elena came back with Elijah later on to explain to Damon, Stefan and I that Elijah wanted to help us kill Klaus. He said he would help if we all apologized for killing him. Stefan and I apologized but Damon, being Damon, told us off and stormed out of the library.

Stefan showed Elijah to his room and Elena went to Jenna's room where Jenna and Justin were still in there.

Elena explained to me earlier about her talk with Elijah saying that the Sun and Moon curse was fake and that the real curse was place on Klaus. She told me that Elijah is actually Klaus' half-brother saying that Klaus' father was a werewolf making Klaus both werewolf and vampire but the witches cursed Klaus by technically 'locking' his werewolf side because the witches couldn't stand an imbalance in power. She said he still need a moonstone, vampire, werewolf and the doppelgänger and they have to be sacrificed at the doppelgänger's birthplace and on a full moon…which was in two days.

After I got all that information from Elena, I decided it was my turn to ask Elijah. I mean, if Elena got all that information about The Sun and the Moon curse from him he most likely knows about the The Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma Curse.

I knocked at the door of his bedroom and waited there for it to open. "Come in!" he called. I opened the door and saw him standing outside on the balcony. The fire was blazing. I could feel the heat from where I was standing. "Hello, Alexandra," He said. He turned around and gave me a smirk. "And what do I owe the pleasure of your company this evening?"

"Do you…like your room?" I asked. "It's the last room and all the other rooms are taken since…everybody wants to stick together"

"It will do"

I gave him a smile. "The reason I'm here…is because I wanted to…ask you something"

"You want to know about The Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma Curse"

"Good guess," I said. I walked up to him slowly and stood in front of him. "Please. I want to know if there's more. Isabella gave me the basics but…there's so much more that we don't know about. Please…I'm begging" I said as I whispered the last part.

Elijah gave me a smile and showed me to the couch and chairs surrounding the fireplace. I took a seat on one of the chairs and Elijah took a seat on the couch. I pulled up my chair in front of him.

"Isabella," I started off. "said that Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma means The Blood that breaks the Plague. The Plague of vampires. Why does Klaus want to break it?" Elijah let out a little laugh. "What's so funny?" I asked.

He looked up to me and smiled but then it disappeared. "I understand that Elena told you about my history and that Niklaus is my brother"

"Yeah she did"

"See, the Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma curse was created when my family and I were still human. When Niklaus was human. The curse was placed on a woman named Marina almost a thousand years ago-"

"Wait," I cut him off. "Marina? I think I know who she is. She killed Isabella when she had vampire blood in her system and I heard stories about her"

"What stories?"

"That she was Klaus' first victim. Some say it was yours and some say it was…Kol's…wait! That makes Kol also your brother"

"Correct. He is my brother. My youngest to be exact. Now to continue on with the story. Your facts are all wrong about Marina. Marina wasn't Niklaus or Kol or my first victims…we would never do that to her"

"Why?"

"Because…Marina…is my sister"

My mouth dropped open. "Sh-Sh-She's your sister?"

"One of my youngest sisters but she's the oldest daughter of my family. She was my parent's fifth child. I don't know if Elena told you but my mother bore eight children"

"She's your sister though…what…does she have to do with the curse?"

"When my family was human, my brothers and I did everything in our power to protect our sisters especially Marina. Until the day she was arranged to marry a wealthy land owner in England and we didn't see her again until a year later, she came home but…she was different. She wasn't the happy girl that lighted up our world anymore. She was dark. She had no 'life' in her and a few days after she arrived home…my family and I became vampires"

"I don't get it? Was she a vampire?"

"Yes but different from our kind. She was the species that your friend…Juliet is? That's her name, isn't it?" I nodded. "A witch preformed a spell on Marina and my family and we were all turned into the same vampire. We created a new species"

"What about the curse?"

"I'll get to that but let me finish. My family hated Marina for what she did to us. We never wanted this. So, years after, Niklaus and I traveled to Romania where we met a certain vampire. He created the other species. He turned Marina"

"Who was he?"

"His name was Vlad…but…he's known to you as Dracula" he said softly.

"Excuse me? Are you telling me Dracula is real?" I asked in disbelief.

He nodded. "He's been hiding in the shadows for over a thousand years. Bram Stoker's story was true. He got all his information from Marina but she compelled him to tell everyone that it was fake"

"Why would she do that?"

"She thought that if she got every vampire's attention, they could kill Vlad but nobody can kill him. Not even Klaus"

"So, what does he have to do with the curse"

"You'll have to ask my sister her side of the story-"

"Marina's still alive?"

"Yes but I don't know where she is. None of us do. Now, back to the story, when my sister was in England, she caught the attention of Vlad and he wanted to make Marina one of his brides-"

"Wait, so the whole…three bride thing is real?"

"Yes and he successfully turned her into a vampire but Marina resisted his control and killed his two other brides.

She ran back home and asked for help from a witch to free her from the pledge that was bestowed upon her. The witch did everything she could but couldn't fix it. She just altered it. Shortly after that, we all turned. The curse is a different story.

You see, Vlad wasn't angry with Marina. He was obsessed with her. He thought Marina was the most beautiful woman in the land. He thought of her as a goddess so, he wanted another bride like her. Three copies to be exact. He asked for assistance from a local witch. She created the curse. My sister had a child when she moved to England so the witched used the child's blood so that somewhere down his blood line, the first daughter of the lineage would be the doppelgänger and the first one…was Isabella"

"But," I said. "That was like…eight hundred years later"

"Exactly. That's how long it took but when he found out Isabella turned into a vampire he got…impatient. He went to a witch and asked her to speed up the process. She was successful. It only took a hundred and fifty years later for a new one was born to be born and that, my dear, is you"

"Are you telling me that Marina…is like the…first line of the curse. So…that means…she looks exactly like me"

"Correct"

"And this all makes me…the third bride? But I don't get why Klaus is a part of it"

"Klaus used to serve Vlad but Vlad threatened Klaus too many times and now he's fed up. My brother is scared of Vlad but he thinks after he breaks the Sun and Moon curse he'll be stronger then Vlad and has planned to take you and use you against him"

I took a deep breath in and out "Is Vlad still out there?" I asked.

"Yes" he said.

"And…does he know about me?"

"No but if somebody goes and tells him, we are all doomed," I sat there in shock as I tried to process everything. "If you want anymore information, you'll have to find my sister but I shall warn you, she's not an easy woman to find"

"When was the last time you saw her?"

"England in 1492"

"Wait…isn't that the same year you met Katherine?"

"Yes. Klaus wanted nothing to do with Marina if she even tried to come close to him, he would try to kill her on the spot but Marina is stronger then all of us since she was the first turned but...she still saw me that year. She knew deep down I couldn't hurt her. To me, she was still my sister"

"I'm sorry" I said as I put a hand on his knee.

He smiled at it and looked up at me. "You remind me so much of her," I gave him a small smile. "Except you're stronger. You fight for your love ones and do what ever it takes to protect them. Marina cared for her family but…she just...didn't have the heart like you do"

I smiled. "Thank you, Elijah," I said. "For everything. For helping us...and for telling me"

"I will also help you with your curse"

"But what about-"

"After we kill Klaus, I will help you stop Vlad"

"Thank you"

Elijah nodded. I got up from my chair and walked out the door to tell everyone what I just learned.

Maddox and Greta were on their knees performing the spell. Candles were circling them and the box where Klaus' body laid was standing up. Klaus in Alaric's body stood beside the box. Marisol and I stood across from the box and Katherine stood a couple feet away from us.

"I don't like this one bit," I whispered to Marisol. "That Greta bitch gets all the credit while we stand here like rag dolls"

"Relax," she said quietly. "Our turn will come. All good things come to those who wait. Lets just get this stupid curse over with and then we can move on"

I nodded and looked back at the box. Maddox and Greta stopped chanting and looked up. Alaric body took a deep breath in and looked up to the ceiling for a second but then he looked back down and looked between Katherine and I. He gave us both a puzzled look.

"Elena?" he asked looking at Katherine. "Alex?" he asked look at me before his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell face first to the ground.

Maddox got up from the ground and opened the box towards us. I smiled when I saw him standing there with that smirk on his face. Marisol did the same while Katherine stood there in fear. He took his first steps out of the box and looked down at Alaric's body.

"Now that's more like it" he said in his thick British accent. He looked at Maddox first and then smiled at Marisol and I.

This was just the beginning.

So, that is the Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma curse. Now as for the whole vampire creation thing, I had this planned way before the Original episode so I will still go along with that but add a bit my ideas in there but that won't be until the future.

Question time! So, what do you think about Marina? What do you think of the Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma curse now? Let me know in the reviews!
