~ One day before I said I would have it up :) I've been wanting to type this chapter since around the time I posted the chapters for The Reckoning.
~ I have some idea for what I want to happen at the end of the next chapter, but I'm not exactly sure if I'm going to do it or not.

MissMusic89: Thanks for your review. I'm happy to say that I didn't make you wait until the 5th.
Altough it's only the 4th, it's still before I said I was going to post the next chapter.

HoneyGee08: Thanks :)

~Enjoy!

Chelsea's POV

The smell of blood started to flow up my nose. I slowly opened my eyes to see a glass of blood being held close to me. I looked up to see Damon holding it.
"Morning sleeping beauty." He said to me. I just rolled my eyes and sat up in the bed. Damon handed me the glass before picking another one up from my bedside table. "We have to go over the plan to kill Klaus." I took a sip from the blood Damon gave me before sitting it on my bedside table. Damon watched me as I slowly got out of my bed. I stood up next to Damon and he kissed me on the cheek. "Are you okay?" Damon asked me as he looked into my eyes.
"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked him before I grabbed the glass from my table. "We're going to kill Klaus, right?" I took a couple of steps around Damon.
"That's not what I ment Chels." I stopped and turned to Damon.
I hesitated for a moment before talking again. "Ask me later." I said to Damon before walking out of my room.

I walked into the parlour following Stefan and Elena with Damon behind me.
"Okay, so let`s say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her, so he could use her as bait." Stefan stopped and turned to us.
"And you what? Vervained him?" Elena asked Stefan.
"We vervained him." I said, which Elena turned to me. "He's an original, we have to make it realistic."
"Okay, fine. We vervained him, and in the process discovered that he had a dagger."
"Which he planned to use on Rebekah, but instead..." Elena started
"We drove it through his heart." I finished for her before turning my head to Stefan. "What happens when he asks to see Mikael´s body?"
"Good point!" Damon gently rested his arm on my shoulder, using it as an arm rest, while pointing to Stefan. "You my brother have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So the idea is to lure him back here and kill him. the last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue-tied."
"Well, don't look at me I am just in charge of getting him back here."
"Klaus is smart. If we tell him that Mikael is dead, he'll want proof." I said.
"Then I shall be dead." I turned my head to see Mikeal, setting some items onto a table.

"What if he wants to see you in person?" I asked, taking a few steps away from the group and towards Mikeal.
"Well that means our plan is working." I could tell that Stefan and Elena started to walk closer to Mikeal. "Klaus will absolutely want to see my body." Mikeal revealed a dagger. "You lure him here and I will kill him."
"With what?" Stefan asked. "Those daggers won`t work on him."
"Well, I´m in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree. The one that left these ashes when it burned." I watched Mikeal as he picked up a little bottle with ash in it.
"Where is it?" Damon asked Mikeal.
"Not here." 'Should have known that'' I thought. "The knowing of its location is my insurance policy."
"Against what?" Stefan asked Mikeal as he dipped the dagger in the ash.
"You leaving this in my hands." Mikeal said while looking at Stefan. "You see, a vampire can´t dagger an original without dying." He said to me before looking to Elena. "So it falls to you." Mikeal handed the dagger to Elena.
"You want me to actually dagger you?" Elena asked in slight disbelief, while slowly taking the dagger from Mikeal.
"Klaus will leave nothing to chance, especially when it comes to trust."
"If we want this to work, you're going to have to watch her dagger him." I said to Stefan, who nodded. I watched him walk over to a chair and sit down in it. Damon walked up behind be as Mikeal and Elena walked in front of Damon. I watched Elena as she slightly hesitated before sticking the dagger into Mikeal. His body slowly started to cover itself in grey veins before he fell to the ground.

Damon gently grabbed my hand as Stefan pulled out his phone. Stefan put his finger on his lips, signaling us to not make a sound. I couldn't help but look Damon's hand holding mine before looking back at Stefan.
"Portland is fantastic. Once you get over all the whiny music and healthy looking people is it truly a breading ground for werewolves." I could hear Klaus say when he answered the phone. Times like this, it's good to have vampire hearing.
"Your father is dead." Stefan said to Klaus. There was a moment of silence before Klaus spoke again.
"What did you say to me?"
"Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father and not dead. Mikael." Stefan looked at Mikeal's body. "Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?"
"Well, first I want you to explain to me exactly what happened."
"Mikeal tried to get to Elena so he could use her against you, but we vervained him. We discovered he had a dagger on him, that he was going to use on Rebekah, but Elena snatched it away and stuck it through his heart."
"I wanna see him. I want to see his rotting body for myself."
"Well, he is here." Stefan stood up from the chair and stepped up to Mikeal's body. "Come by whenever." Stefan said looking at Mikeal's body before looking up to me and Damon.
"If you are lying to me Stefan, your compulsion will expose you. So, answer with your life: Is what you are saying the truth?"
"It´s true. I saw it with my own eyes." Stefan said as he looked at me. 'You're welcome'' I couldn't help but think.

"I wanna talk to Rebekah." My eyes went to Rebekah, who was just looking at Mikeal's body, doing her best from letting any emotion show.
"That´s not a problem. She is right here." I saw her eyes move up to Stefan, who walked up to her, handing her his phone. She held it out for a minute as if she was rethinking the whole thing. Rebekah slowly brought Stefan's phone up to her ear.
"Hello Nik."
"Rebekah, love. What´s this I hear about Mikael´s tragic running with the dagger?" Rebekah's eyes went to me and I just nodded a bit.
"It´s true." Rebekah took a couple of steps closer to Mikeal's body. "He´s finally out of our lives for good." 'Is that a smile?'' I couldn't help but ask myself. It was only there for a second, but I sware I saw it. "I miss you. I´m miserable here."
"I´ll be home soon."
"Good. I see you then brother." I watched Rebekah as she hung up and handed the phone back to Stefan after looking up from Mikeal. "He bought it." She said looking at Elena. "He´s coming home." She looked at me before she walked out of the room.
"Now, was that easy or what?"
"Don't get too cocky." I said, looking up at Damon's face before looking back at Stefan and Elena.
"Let´s just get this over with." Elena said before she bent down and pulled the dagger out of Mikeal's chest.
"Come up stairs with me." Damon whispered to me before he let go of my hand and started to walk upstairs. I looked and Stefan and Elena for a moment before walking upstairs.

I walked into Damon's room, where he was standing, waiting for me.
"Chelsea," Damon said which made me turn to him. He was standing near his window and his bead. "Can you distract Klaus tonight?" 'Did he want to talk about Klaus?' I thought to myself. I took a couple of steps to Damon. "If that's what my part is, I will." I looked into Damon's eyes, which looked concerned. "I want Klaus dead just as much as you guys." I saw Damon's eyes soften a little. "If he didn't make me part of his deal, then my parent's my still be alive."
"The deal to save my life." I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
"Are you going to make this about you? because it's not about you. It's about killing Klaus." Damon turned his head off to the side. I forced him to look at me by putting my hands on his checks and moving his head to look at me. "It's not your fault you got bit Damon, that's Tyler's. I saved your life by going with Klaus. Yeah, my parents died, but it's like you said, death happens." Damon just looked into my eyes. "I saved you Damon and if I was given another chance, I'd do it again." I stared into Damon's eyes while he did with mine. There was a mix of emotion in them. I let out a breath before kissing Damon. I moved my hands around his neck and he gently put his around my hips. We slowly came apart and I couldn't help but let a smile appear on my face as I looked into his eyes. "We should probably start getting ready for tonight." I said to Damon, which slightly ruined the mood. After a moment Damon slightly nodded his head.

I stood next to Damon, in his bathroom, helping him with wolvebane grenades. Elena was next to his bed, fixing up the other weapons.
"We can't trust Rebekah not to turn on us." Elena said to us.
"Oh really, 'cause those Original vampires are usually so reliable." Damon said sarcastically to Elena.
"I'm pretty sure we can trust her." Damon looked at me. "She wants revenge because he killed their mother, it's understandable."
"Bonnie was right. Rebekah may be mad at Klaus now but he is her brother."
"Her lying, mommy- killing, dagger- happy brother." Damon said.
"Excatly." I interrupted him as Elena brought the grenade containers in the bathroom.
"Wolvesbane is ready." He finished.
"There are too many things, that can go wrong with this plan. Too many people that can make it go wrong." Elena said as she started preparing a grenade, although I could feel her look at me for a moment.
"Well, I am formulating a secret contingency plan."
"Really? What is it?" I asked Damon.
"Well, if I told you, then it wouldn't be a secret." Damon nodded his head to the door, before Stefan walked into sight.

"I need to borrow a tie." Stefan said to Damon.
"You have your own ties." Damon told his brother.
"I'm a 162 years old and I'm going to a Homecoming Dance." Stefan said as he leaned against the doorway. "I need better ties."
"You could not go." Elena lifted her head to Stefan as Damon handed me a grenade.
"I'm compelled to protect you. And if I look your track record at High school Dances, it's pretty tragic. My luck you go and get yourself murdered by the Homecoming Queen." Stefan said before leaving Damon's room. Out the corner of my eye, I could see Elena grabbing a grenade from out the corner of my eye.
"Ah ah! No," I turned my head to see Damon try and get Elena to let go of the grenade.
"I know how to do it. Alaric taught me." She told Damon
"Elena, it this thing blows of in our face, just remember, only two of us heals quickly." Damon said to Elena, which made her slowly let go of the grenade.

Stefan started to walk in when Damon put the grenade next to the other finished ones.
"Ah, please tell me that you have a better plan than wolvesbane grenades." Stefan said as he looked in the mirror, holding up ties to his collar.
"Never your mind, brother. Less you know the better." Damon said without lifting his head as he handed me another grenade.
"My freedom from Klaus rests entirely upon you three executing your plan perfectly. So, excuse me if I'm a bit cynical." I could see Stefan slightly smirk in the mirror. "How are we going to distract Klaus?"
"Me." I said before turning around to face Stefan. "I'm the only one that he won't expect and won't feel threatened by." I couldn't help but smirk. "Although he should be."
"Now who's cocky?" Damon asked me before turning his attention back the the wolvesbane grenades.
"You might want to be careful brother, Klaus might try and steal her away." I rolled my eyes before turning back to helping with the grenades. Stefan started to walk away before Elena spoke.
"You're the one we should be worried about." Stefan stopped and looked at us. "If Klaus asks you one wrong question, whole thing falls apart."
"You do have reason to worry, but if I look back in our history of epic plan failures, it's usually because one of us let our humanity get in the way." Stefan stared at Elena before she went back to helping me and Damon. Then Stefan looked to me.
"Don't look at me." I simply told him without really adding anything.
"Well, if I'm taking odds on how this thing goes down, it's certainly not gonna be me who screws it up. I'll see you at Homecoming. I can't wait." Stefan finally walked out of Damon's room, leaving me, Elena, and Damon preparing the rest of the weapons.

~I think I actually enjoyed typing this chapter for the most part.
~ I didn't plan the Chelsea and Damon kiss, but it just came out as I was typing. I'm not exactly sure that it goes with the chapter and the next one, but I'm keeping it in because I just don't want to take it out.

*Spoiler Alert*
~In chapter 19, Chelsea will be at the Salvatore's when Klaus pays a visit to Damon.

~The next Chapter will be March 8th, or the day before.

R&R 'till the next update
