Chapter 14
The day came. Tonight was the full moon and we were all prepared. Elena, Elijah, Justin, Stefan and I were in the library talking about tonight's plan. "Tonight is the full moon," Elijah started off. Justin, Elena and I were sitting on the couch and Stefan sat in the chair beside me. Elijah stood in front of us. "We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse"
"Elena said," Stefan said. "That the Sun and Moon curse is fake? That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus and Alex," he said looking at me. "said that the Sânge Care Sparge Ciuma curse is fake as well. That its actually a ritual so she can be a bride for this…Vlad guy"
"Correct," Elijah responded. "Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting but if he breaks it…He'll be a true hybrid"
"And Vlad?"
"He'll have his third bride," Stefan looked at me and I nodded. "Klaus just wants take her and use her against Vlad after he becomes a hybrid"
"Then why are we letting him break the curse?" Damon asked as he walked threw the door behind Elijah. "We can kill him today. With Bonnie"
"Damon" Stefan said quietly.
"No!" Both Elena and I said at the same time.
"Bonnie," Elena said. "Can't use that much power without dying"
"I'll write he a great eulogy" Damon said.
"Damon!" I said loudly. "Bonnie's not doing it. End of story"
"All right," Stefan said trying to break the tension. "How do we break this curse?"
"The ritual," Elijah said. "itself is relatively straight forward. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know"
"The moonstone" Justin said.
"A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each"
"And," Elena said. "Where do I fit into it?"
"The final part of the ritual," he walked over to the bookshelf and picked up a wooden box and set it on the couch. "Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelgäanger…to the point of your death"
Elena looked at me with wide eyes. I grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "It'll be ok" I whispered. She gave me a small smile and we both turned back to Elijah.
He opened the wooden box and took an antique crystal jar and held it up to show us. "This is an elixir that I acquired some 500 years go for Katerina. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation"
"So, I'll be dead?" Elena asked.
"And then you won't"
"That's your plan?" Damon asked glaring at Elijah. "A magical witch potion with no expiration date?" He then looked at Elena. "You want to come back to life, what about John's ring?"
"Those rings only work on humans. The doppelgänger's a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the ring won't work"
"I'll take those odds over your elixir. I mean, what about Alex, hm?" I popped my head up and looked at him. "Who knows what Klaus will do if he takes her. What if he kills her to get even with this…Count Chocula guy? Odds are he will"
"I know, Klaus. Trust me, he would be foolish if he killed her"
"Alex?" Damon asked giving me a worried look.
"As long as Elena's ok," I said. "Then I'll do what ever it is I have to do…even if it means dying"
Damon looked at Stefan and gave him a questionable look. Stefan just shrugged his shoulders. Damon did the same to Justin and Justin responded exactly the same. He gave us all one last glare before storming out of the room.
"Do we," Elena said. "Know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this? Does he have a werewolf?"
"Klaus," Elijah said. "Has been waiting to break this curse for over a thousand years. If he doesn't already have a werewolf, my guess is by tonight, he will"

"Alex you can't do this," Justin said to me in his room. "You're not just going to give up that easily"
"I'm not," I said sternly. "I never said I was. I'm going to fight until there's nothing left in me"
"How? How are you going to do that?"
"You'll see"
We heard the front door slam. "Get out!" we heard Aunt Jenna scream. Justin and I both gave each other a puzzling look.
"Jenna, Jenna!" It sounded like Alaric…or it was Klaus.
"Get out!" We heard Aunt Jenna scream again.
We then made our move to the hallway where everyone was gathered around Aunt Jenna. She was standing in front of 'Alaric' pointing a crossbow at him and he stood there with his arms up.
"Jenna," 'Alaric' said. "Put the crossbow down, ok? It's me"
"Stay away from me"
"What's going on here?" I asked as I glared at Alaric with my arms crossed over my shoulder.
"It's me, Alex," he said. "I swear, ok? He let me go. Klaus let me go"
"Prove it" Damon said.
Alaric then looked at Jenna. "Ok…uh…first night you and I spent together, Jeremy walked in right when I was about to-"
"Okay!" Jenna said loudly. "It's him" she said as she put the crossbow down.
"Why did he let you go?" Stefan asked.
"He wanted me to deliver a message," Alaric said. He then looked at Elena. "The sacrifice happens tonight"
XXXXX
Alaric explained to us what happened and how he didn't remember anything. He told us Katherine is still alive, which we already knew, and that Isabella was actually working for Klaus this whole time. Elena and I told him about how our curses were fake and tried to explain to him all of it. I needed a break from all of this and decided to go upstairs to Stefan's room. I walked in and walked up to the bed slowly
"Scared?" I heard a deep manly British voice say. I felt my eyes pop out of my sockets.
I quickly turned around and bumped into something that made me fall right to the floor on my butt.
I looked up and saw Stevie standing there. She had her wand point at her throat. She started laughing as she placed the wand into her boot.
"Scared you didn't I?" She asked as she continually laughed.
I gave her a glare and slowly tried getting myself off the floor. She gave me a hand to help but I pushed it off. "Go away, I don't need your help" I finished the last part as I brushed myself off and stood in front of her.
"Oh, come on Russo. It was just a joke. Besides I can't leave you know what tonight is?"
"The sacrifice. Yeah, I already know"
"Yes and not just that, tonight, were going after Crumbs"
"No, the deals off" I said as I pushed pass her, nudging my shoulder with hers and continued walking out the door.
"What?" I heard her say. "Why?"
"Hm," I turned around to look at her. He eyes were wide open along with her mouth. She looked kind of…scared. "Let me see. Oh, right, Klaus. You knew he was in Alaric's body the whole time didn't you?" She didn't say anything. "Didn't you?"
"Yeah, ok. I did"
"What happened to us being partners, Stevie. That's what partners do. They tell each other everything. I had to find out the hard way…Bonnie died" I lied.
"I know," she said as she walked up to me slowly. "I'm sorry. I didn't want anybody to get hurt. That wasn't my idea"
"Then whose was it?"
"It was one of his witches, Maddox. He's a good friend of Isabella's. He came up with the idea. He knew a witch couldn't handle that much power"
"She was one of my best friends"
"I know. Again…I'm sorry," she actually meant it. It was strange. "Are we still in this? Come on, Alex. Are you willing to let another one of your friends die? Or family"
I thought about it for a second. "Ok," I looked at her straight in the eye. "I'm in"
"Ok…but not right now"
"Why?"
"Wait till tonight. Klaus need me to do some stuff but I promise. I'll get you before the sacrifice starts"
I nodded. She backed away and took her wand out of her pocket and flashed out. I backed out of the room slowly.
"Damon, no!" I heard Elena scream. I looked down the hall where Damon's room was and ran down the hall. I ran up to the door and stopped where I saw Damon's wrist on Elena's mouth. Her eyes where open in fear and I could see blood dripping from her chin. He wasn't.
"Damon! Stop!" Just after I screamed that, I saw a blur ran in and push Damon across the room and Elena fell to the ground immediately. It was Stefan. I ran up to Elena and kneeled by her side. "What the hell!" I screamed. Damon got up right away and looked at me. "Did you just do what I think you did?"
"I saved her life," He said. I looked down at Elena where she was coughing and wiping the left over blood onto her hand. "You're so bent on dying, at least this way I know you'll come back"
"Why?"
"She'll come back as a vampire!" Stefan screamed at him.
"It's better than nothing else"
"How could you take that choice away from her?"
Damon looked down at Elena and I. "Go ahead. Wish me an eternity of misery. Believe me, you'll get over it"
Stefan looked back at Damon and growled and ran up to him and pushed him into a wall where he broke a lamp.
"Stefan!" I screamed.
Damon grabbed a piece of the broken lamp and pinned Stefan against the wall with it. Stefan then pushed him off and punched him in the face five times until Damon fall onto the floor, beside the broken lamp post. Stefan went after him but as he took his step towards him, Damon grabbed the broken lamp post and drove in threw his stomach. Stefan groaned in pain as he fell to his knees.
"Oh my god!" I screamed. I ran up to Stefan, pushed Damon out of the way and kneeled by Stefan's side. I glared at Damon. "Get the hell out of here!" I screamed at him.
"What the hell's going on?" I heard Alaric say. I looked at the door and saw Alaric, Aunt Jenna and Justin walk in.
I looked back at Damon. "Get him the hell out of here before I drive a stake threw him myself!"
"Oh my god" I heard Aunt Jenna whisper.
Alaric walked up to Damon to pick him up but Damon pushed him off making Alaric back away slowly. Damon got up himself and walked out of the room as Stefan groaned in pain again.
"Ok, Jenna," Alaric said. "Downstairs are some blood bags. Go get them now. Go!" I heard her foot steps run out of the room.
"I'm sorry Stefan," I said as I pulled the lamp post of his stomach. He groaned again and fell into my knees. "Stefan you'll be ok. Everything is going to be ok" I said as I stroked his head.
"I'm so sorry" he whispered. I looked up to Elena and we both stared at each other. Everything was going down hill from here.
XXXXX
Stefan decided that we needed to talk about something. Like, Elena now being turned into a vampire because of Damon and Stefan and I thought we should talk about us. About us about what would happen to our future. Stefan decided to take me to this waterfall where we were going to talk and climb it. When we got to the top, we made it just in time to see the sunset.
"Wow, would you look at that" I said with a smile.
"Yeah," Stefan said as she looked out into the sunset as well. "You can say it"
"What is it you want me to say?" I asked looking at him.
"The thing you've wanted to say but…been afraid of how it'll make me feel"
"What? Whatever I say, it's not going to change the way I feel about the situation"
"Might make you feel better. Look, I know this isn't the first time you've thought about it. Drinking vampire blood to survive. I mean, I know I've thought about it a hundred times"
"Before Klaus came…or after?"
"Before. I mean…If it were my choice, I'd want to be with you forever"
"If that's what you want, why didn't you just tell me?"
"'Cause I knew if it was an option, you would have it. It would be selfish for me to ask you"
"What if Damon gave his blood to me and not Elena, would you still feel the same?"
Stefan hesitated for a second before answering. "He should've don't that"
"Why would he do that to Elena? She didn't do anything to him"
He hesitated again. "He did it because he loves you. He knows how much you care for Elena and thought if he was the one that saved her…you would be grateful"
"I'm not grateful though. I'm hurt and so is Elena. If he really does love me he has a bad way of showing it. The things is…I don't know what I want. I want to grow up and I still want to be in that wizard completion. If I win, I want to do something in the wizard world. If I lose, my dream is to be an artist and I want to grow up and marry the person I love which is you but…I know we can't have a future. I don't want to be 87 years old while your stuck in this body. I want to be with you forever. See things I haven't seen before but at the same time, I want to still live and be human. Stefan I don't know and with this curse," I felt a couple tears rolling down my eyes. "I'm scared I won't have the opportunities that I dreamed about," I hesitated for a second. "Can you promise me something?"
"Anything" He said as he looked at me straight in the eye.
"If something happens to us. If we ever lose each other," My tears came down my face. "Or if…the curse does happen and Vlad does make me one of his brides. Promise me that you will come after me no matter what"
"I will," he said. "But only if you do the same"
I nodded as I walked into his body and hugged him tight. "I love you so much" I said.
"I love you too" he said softly.
"Aw, isn't this sweet" We pulled apart and looked at each other and turned around and saw Stevie standing behind me. She walked up to us slowly but I could see her shaking a bit.
"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked.
Stevie looked at me. "It's time"
"Time for what?" Stefan asked again as he still glared at her.
I gave Stevie a nod and turned back into Stefan. "Stefan," I grabbed his face and pulled him down so that he could look at me. "I love you…but…you have to let me do this" I gave him a peck on the lips and back away slowly towards Stevie.
"What's going on?" He asked me.
"Your girlfriend," Stevie said. "And I have made a deal"
"What kind of deal?"
"Stefan," I said. "She promised to help me stop Klaus if I helped her take over the wizard world"
"What? Alex you can't!"
"I have to. It's to save you and everyone else I care about"
"I won't let you"
"You have to. You promised you'd come after me if something happened," he stared at me. "Good bye"
"Wait Alex! No!" He ran up to me at vampire speed but by the time he could stop me, Stevie already grabbed my hand and we were out of there and I appeared in front of a dark wood bookshelf.
It looked like we were in Professor Crumb's office. "Ok, Stevie," I said. "Where do we start off?" I turned around and saw that it wasn't Professor Crumb's office. It was an apartment. An apartment that I've never been in before. Stevie stood there shaking. She hand her arms wrapped around each other and her head down. She looked like a little kid that just stole from the cookie jar. "What's going on?" She didn't say anything.
I heard a clicking of heels on the hard wood floor and around the corner in front of me, Isabella stepped into view. She learned against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest and had a big smile across her face. "Hello Alex," she said. "Miss me?"
I heard another click and that Marisol woman stood behind her. I backed away slowly but bumped right into the bookshelf. I then heard pair of boots hitting the hardwood to the left of me. I turned and saw this man come around that corner and gave me this devilish smile. "This must be Alexandra" he said in a deep British accent.
"Klaus" I whispered.
"In the flesh," He turned to Stevie. "Nice work"
I popped my head to her direction. "You tricked me" Stevie didn't say anything. She just looked at the ground.
I looked back at Klaus and back away slowly from him.
"That's not a good idea" He said. I then felt this pain hit me like a rock. My head was pounding as I screamed in pain. I felt myself hitting to floor. All I remember is five people standing above me before everything faded to black.
XXXXX
The light quickly hit my eyes and I got up slowly from the bed I was laying on. I was all by myself. I could try to escape. I quickly got off the bed and made a run for the door. I ran up to the front door and opened it but when I went to walk out, I was pushed back and sent flying to the brick wall behind me and landed onto of a coffee table, breaking it.
"Tsk, tsk," I looked up and saw Isabella walking up to me. She leaned down and smiled. "I'm very disappointed in you, Alex. You really think we'd let you get away that easily?" I glared at her. "I used your favorite spell on that door. You know, Ostium protegntis omnes alica, the door that protects all spell"
I ignored her comment and looked at the locket wrapped around her neck. It was my locket. The one she stole when she and Katherine kidnapped Elena and I. "Is that my locket?" I asked.
She looked down at is and then looked back at me and gave me a smile. "Yeah, hope you don't mind me borrowing it," I went to snatch it from her neck but she backed away. "Uh uh uh," she said as she shook her index finger back and forth. "Let's play nice," She got up and walked way. "She's up!" she called behind her.
Out of the corner, Klaus walked around and passed Isabella. I backed away slowly from him. "What's the matter?" He asked as he leaned down to me. "Scared?"
I glared at him. "Why would I?"
"Well, lets see, you plan back fired and now, I'm about kill your cousin and continue breaking the curse and after that, I'm taking you with me, so I can continue on with my plan. Speaking of plans…Stevie!" He stood up straight. I watched as Stevie walked around the corner looking at the ground. "Look at me" She slowly brought her head up and looked at him dead straight in the eye. "You did a wonderful job," He said as he walked up to her and started circling her like a shark. "Bringing the doppelgänger to me and helping me these past couple of days while I was in that useless body"
"Your welcome," she said quietly "Now do I get what I want?"
He stopped right in front of her and turned. "And what is that?" He asked. I knew he wanted me to know why Stevie did all this. "You told me if I did all of this that you would let Warren go and you'd let me live"
"Right. I did say that but, if I'm not mistaken, didn't you tell Alexandra," he said as he turned his body so we could look at both Stevie and I. "That your brother was killed by my own hands?"
"Yes but…I said that to protect him. I didn't want her to go on any stupid rescue trip"
"I don't like to be called names, Stevie"
"I didn't call you anything"
"But you implied on Alexandra that I murder wizards"
"I'm sorry"
"So am I because I lied," she gave him a funny look. "The thing is, I do murder wizards. Their blood is so," He turned to me and gave me that devilish smile. "Delicious," I gave him a glare and he turned back. "You brother's was really delicious"
"What?" she asked.
"Oh, Isabella didn't tell you?" Stevie turned to Isabella who smiled and waved to her. She then turned back to Klaus. "I murdered your brother and drank him dry"
"What?" tears started rolling down Stevie's eyes. "Why? I did everything you told me to do"
"Yes you did…but what about the lovely Juliet? Hm? What happened to her?"
"Klaus," she whispered. "I'm so sorry. I couldn't get to her she has her,"
"Who?"
"Marina," Klaus stared at her blankly.
"Please forgive me" Stevie said as more tears rolled down her eyes.
"I wish I could but then I'd get this repetition that I let people get away too easily and we can't let that happen," Stevie's hands started shaking. Klaus looked down at her hands and smiled at them and looked up at her. "You scared?" she nodded. "You should be"
He then latched himself onto Stevie's throat and started drinking her blood. Stevie screamed and tried to get him off but she couldn't. I got up and went to help her but Marisol grabbed me and held me back. After a couple seconds Klaus removed his jaws from Stevie's neck and threw her to the ground. She was dead. Klaus looked at me with those red eyes and fangs and blood was dripping from the corners of his mouth. He gave me a smile as he grabbed a handkerchief from his pocket and whipped the blood off his mouth.
"Please," I said as I pushed Marisol off me. "Please"
Klaus' eyes went back to normal and the fangs pulled back. "Please what?" he asked.
"I'll do anything please. Don't hurt Elena"
"How am I suppose to continue on with the sacrifice with out Elena?"
"I'll figure something out. I can try to do a spell. Please"
Klaus looked at Isabella and gave her a smile. She smiled back. He looked at me and gave me that devilish smile one more time before running up to me and it went back to darkness.
Alex was lying there on the ground. Klaus stood over her body and looked down at her. "Isabella," he said. "Marisol, time for you to go help Greta. She's already got her vampire and the doppelgänger," Marisol and I looked at each other and gave a nod before making our way to the door. "Wait!" Marisol and I stopped and turned around. "Take Alexandra"
"Why?" I asked rather snotty.
A smile appeared out of the corner of his lip. "If she cares so much for the doppelgänger, I'd like her watch the doppelgänger take her last breath as I suck her dry"
"That's barbaric" Marisol said as she took a step towards him.
Klaus' smile disappeared. He turned to Marisol and stood right in front of her. "I really don't give a damn about what you think"
Marisol made a little laugh. "After the six hundred years we've known each other, can't you show a little bit of humanity?"
"That's weak and I'm not weak" He pushed pass Marisol and into the other room.
Marisol made another small laugh. "Whatever you say," she walked up to Alex and threw her over he shoulder and turned to me. "Lets go"I nodded and walked out of the apartment. Marisol caught up to me.
We ran to the sacrifice location and slowly walked down the hill. "Are you crazy?" I asked her. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"He won't kill me" She said as she continued down the hill.
"How do you know" I stopped her. I turned to faced her and she did the same.
"He won't. We've been friends forever. He'd never do that to me. The sooner we get this stupid sacrifice thing done and over with, the better" She turned and continued down the hill. I followed after her.
We walked down where Greta stood. "Where's Elena?" I asked.
"In the car up on the hill," she said. She's sealed with a spell until I go back up to get her"
"Whatever" I said as Marisol dropped Alex onto the ground.
Greta glared at Alex. "What's she doing here?" she said angrily as she pointed at Alex.
"Master's orders. You wouldn't want to disobey your master. Would you?"
"I'm not a mutt"
"Really because from here you look like one hell of a bitch," I took a step towards her. She did the same. I then felt Greta trying to use her magic on me and I smiled. "How many times are you going to try this on me?"
She glared me. I ran up to her at vampire speed and held her up by the throat and showed my fangs. Greta started gasping for air.
"Isabella don't!" Marisol said as she stood beside me.
"Why shouldn't I? This bitch has been a pain in the ass since day one"
"If you kill her, he'll kill you"
"Maddox can do the spell"
"And what if those Salvatore boys go after him? Hm? Then what will happen" I gave a look to Marisol before releasing Greta. She fell to her feet and started coughing. "Klaus wants Alex to watch the sacrifice. Follow your orders" I turned around and we went to go leave but then I stopped.
"What are you doing?" Marisol whispered so only I could hear. I felt a smile appear across my face as I turned around and saw Greta get up slowly. "I need to tell you something"
"And what would that be?" She barked back.
"You dad's blood...was the best blood I've ever had"
"What?"
"Did you hear? I killed you dad with my own bare hands...or I should say fangs" I said with a smile. She glared at me. I turned around and started walking away.
"That was harsh" Marisol said.
"Who cares," We ran back to the apartments. We walked in and saw Klaus leaning over a body and when he stepped back I saw it was Damon. "What did you do?" I asked as I walked in.
"He's alright," Klaus said. "For now"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, your fiancée here,"
"Ex-fiancée"
"My apologies, ex-fiancée released my vampire and werewolf and came here to sacrifice himself, he wanted to be the vampire for the ritual he also wanted me to give him Alexandra"
"How did he know Alex was here?"
"He saw Stevie right there" he said as he pointed to her body in the corner.
"Are you going to? Let him…be in the ritual"
"I can't"
"Why?"
"You see here," he said as he bent down and pulled the sleeve back to relieve this terrifying wound. "He's useless. He's good as dead"
"A werewolf bite" I whispered.
"Now, come along," he said. "I have a curse to break" he said with a smile.
"Alex, oh no," I heard somebody say as I felt my body moving back and forth. "Alex please!" I woke up and saw Elena leaning over me. "Oh my god!" she grabbed me and hugged me tightly. "You're ok"
"Elena," I hugged her back. "He hasn't started yet, thank god," I pulled away and saw we were in the middle of now where by the lake. "Elena, where are we?"
"We're here. It's about to start" she said. She then looked at the body laying across from me.
"Aunt Jenna?" I asked as I ran up to her body and Elena did the same. Right when I laid my hand on her, she bounced up and started gasping for air.
"What?" I whispered as I looked at Elena. "What's going on?" I asked out loud.
Elena turned and looked at the woman standing behind us. "She's not dead," the woman said. She then turned to Aunt Jenna. "She's in transition" she said with a smile.
The sacrifice was starting.
Hope you guys enjoyed it.
The sacrifice has begun!
Question time! What did you think of Stevie? Do you think it was right for her to do that to Alex or do you think she had a good reason to even if she didn't get along with Warren. What did you think of the scenes between Klaus and Alex? Or Klaus and Isabella? And what about the scenes between Greta and Isabella?
Let me know in the comments!
