In the morning, Jessie called Valerie to her house. She knew that she had a lot of things to explain her and that it may take a while. She heard the doorbell and went to answer it. She wore a red floral dress.
"Jessie, this isn't going to work." Valerie told her. The brunette then realized that her aunt couldn't get in.
"Let me get my Dad." Jessie stated. She went to get her father from the kitchen. "Daddy, your sister wants to come in."
"Valerie, you may come in." Hank told her. He then looked over his daughter. "So where is Anna going to be today?"
"She was going to see her father to see if he knew anything about how to defeat Klaus." Jessie replied. She then looked at Valerie. "We need to go up to my room. I have some blood in there. This is going to take a while."
The two teenage vampires went upstairs and Valerie took a seat on Jessie's bed. The brunette opened her fridge and handed the blonde some blood.
"So where do you want me to begin with this?" Jessie asked as she took a seat. "Don't get any of that on my bed."
"How about you just start at the beginning?" Valerie replied. That was the easy solution.
"Okay, this whole thing starts before I was turned into a vampire." Jessie explained. "Anna had come into town and the Founder's Council was becoming aware of the vampires. At that point, Logan, your brother decided he was Van Helsing. Anna slipped him some blood before he was killed and he came back as a vampire. Unfortunately, Logan was a pretty useless vampire and he was killed by Mr. Saltzman."
"What does this have to do with you?" Valerie asked before she finished the contents of her bag.
"I was getting to that." Jessie responded. "You see, when Logan failed, Anna still needed our ancestor, Honoria's journal. That was when she found me and turned me into a vampire. Before you ask why she needed the journal, it was because there was a tomb underneath the old Fell's Church. Her mother was locked inside of the tomb with twenty five other vampires. We opened the tomb and let her mother out."
"So where is her mother now?" Valerie questioned.
"Dead." Jessie answered. "She was killed by John Gilbert, but that's getting ahead of the story. Anyways, after her mom was out, the other vampires got out as well. They took residence here and Anna was falling for Jeremy Gilbert. However, when Vicki Donovan's body was discovered, Jeremy and Anna were over and I found out that Anna had a thing for me. I was resistant at first, but eventually she broke me down. By the time her mom died, I had accepted things. On Founder's Day, John set off a device to harm vampires, with the added effect of also harming werewolves or would be werewolves. I rushed into a building and pulled Anna, but my mom's death was because Blair was affected by the device. She's a werewolf."
Elsewhere in town, Anna was where James had told her that she could find him, but she didn't see him. She hoped that he wasn't gone.
"Hello, Annabelle." He greeted her. She jumped and fell backwards.
"Don't do it." She commanded.
"I'm sorry." He apologized. "I take it from your disposition that you didn't just come here to see me, so how can I assist you."
"I need to know if you have any more of those daggers that we used on Elena." Anna explained. "Klaus is here and we could really use one."
"For starters, you wouldn't need another dagger because the one that was in Elijah has been removed." James explained. "But the dagger wouldn't work if you tried. You see because it's made of silver, it would be countered by his werewolf gene."
"What?" Anna asked in shocked. "Is Klaus a vampire or a werewolf?"
"He's both." James answered. Anna had heard legends of them, but didn't know any existed, much less Klaus.
Back in the Fell house, Jessie was still telling the story.
"So after Founder's Day, this old vampire named Katherine who looks just like Elena came into town. She started to cause havoc and her first act was to kill John. That I was okay with but then she turned Caroline into a vampire and she also brought Tyler's uncle Mason with her."
"So when are we going to get to the part why I couldn't go to the dance?" Valerie asked impatiently.
"You need to be patient." Jessie stated before she realized something. "You were never patient before. When someone is turned into a vampire, all of their traits are heightened.
"What do you mean that all of my traits are heightened?" The blonde inquired.
"Everything that makes you who you are is stronger." Jessie responded. "It's hard to describe really. How about you just let me continue the story?"
In the woods, Anna continued to talk to James.
"So do you think that you can tell me something about the shaman made the Curse of the Sun and Moon?" The Goth asked. "Maybe you know where we can find him or something? Is there any way that we can break it without the sacrifice."
"For starters, the Curse of the Sun and the Moon was not created by a shaman, but by a witch." James explained. "Why don't you tell me what you know about it?"
"I know it has to do with werewolves only changing on a full moon and it's why vampires can't walk in the day." Anna replied.
"I see. You have been misinformed then. The Curse of the Sun and the Moon is a curse on Klaus. It was cast to suppress his werewolf side, using a witch to break the spell on the moonstone, a sacrifice of a werewolf and a vampire and the blood of the Petrova doppelganger. Once broken Klaus will be able to turn into a wolf." James told his daughter. "There have been several legends about the curse that were created by the Originals themselves to spread word of the curse."
Elsewhere, Damon had called Tina to the Salvatore house. She kissed him as soon as he opened the door.
"I wish I could say that I called you here to make sweet love to you, but I didn't." Damon replied. "I have something that I need to do and I want you to come with me."
"So, where are we going?" Tina asked curiously as she followed him to his car.
"We're going to see about paying my good friend Alaric a visit." Damon explained. "I don't think that he's present at the moment, but I have a hunch."
The two of them headed to Alaric's apartment.
"I thought Ric was possessed by Klaus." Tina replied.
"He is, but I think that he may have a hostage." Damon stated as he listened in for any noise. He then broke the lock on the door. He then opened it and there was Katherine.
"You've got to be kidding me." Tina remarked.
"What are you doing here?" Katherine asked the vampire. "Come to see me rot?"
"Actually I was wondering if you were still alive, which you obviously are and I have something that I want to give you." Damon declared as he took a vial out of his pocket.
"Vervain isn't going to undo Klaus's compulsions." Katherine pointed out.
"Can we leave?" Tina asked.
"In a minute." Damon told his girlfriend. "Did Klaus compel not to leave until he says."
Katherine was silent.
"You can't say." He deduced. "Did he tell you to always obey him?"
"No." The doppelganger answered.
"That's loophole then." He told her. "Drink this and you'll be able to stop any further compulsions."
Katherine took a sip and choked as it went down her throat.
"Now we can go." Damon told Tina. He looked at the brunette one last time. "Oh, and you owe me."
"So Katherine's witch removed the spell and we sealed her in the tomb with the moonstone." Jessie continued explaining to her aunt. "Unfortunately, this girl named Rose kidnapped Elena and we found out about the sacrifice and the Originals. Elena has to die to break the curse along with one werewolf and one vampire. From there Elena made a deal with Elijah, but after we found out that he wanted the sacrifice to happen, we used a dagger on him. It was on Easter."
"If Elijah was locked in the tomb, who was the Original that was at the dance last night?" Valerie asked.
"His name is Klaus." Jessie explained. "Only, it turned out that he possessed Mr. Saltzman's body. As far as we know, he's still in that body. That means that we don't know what Klaus's true form is and we don't know who to be afraid of. It makes me feel kind of helpless to be honest. Plus if he took over Alaric's body, he could take over anyone's. I don't know who to trust."
"You can trust me." Valerie told her.
Anna had taken a seat with her father at the Grill.
"So how can be an Original and a werewolf?" She questioned.
"Klaus's mother had an affair with a member of the local werewolf tribe. This was discovered until after the family was turned into vampires." James said. "Once his father discovered it, he hunted down and killed the man that had borne his wife a son and his entire family. That was when the war between the werewolves and vampires first started."
"Is there anything that we can do about it?" Anna asked.
"The only way to kill Klaus or any original if with the wood of one specific tree which is currently extinct." James explained. "However, in Klaus's case, after the sacrifice is completed, he will be strictly werewolf until he returns to his natural form."
"The only way to do it, involves the sacrifice happening?" Anna responded.
"Yes." James confirmed. "But if a witch could channel enough power, it would make the process easier. A powerful enough vampire could finish him off by ripping his heart out. To my knowledge from contacting the spirits of the Martin witches, that's exactly what Elijah's plan was. He would be the most powerful out there and it why he must be stopped."
Anna then had a moment of realization.
"Do you know if there's a way that we can allow the sacrifice to happen and also save Elena?" She questioned.
"It will take some time, but I am pretty sure that there is a way." James admitted.
"How much time? The full moon is tomorrow night." Anna pointed out. "We can't have you figure out this after it's too late."
"I promise that I will have it in time to save her." James declared. "You should be going."
Jessie was just about finished when her phone rang. It was Elena.
"Hello?" She asked.
"I need you and Anna to come to the boarding house. There is something that we need to discuss." Elena explained.
"Anna isn't with me right now, but I will be there." Jessie replied before she hung up.
"So you're leaving?" Valerie asked.
"I'll come back." Jessie promised. "Stay here tonight and I will finish telling you the story. I just have something that I need to do first."
Jessie headed to the house and found out that Anna was there to meet her. Also inside the house was Elijah.
"What is he doing here?" Jessie asked.
"Elijah and I have renewed the terms of our deal." Elena answered.
"I can assure that none of you will be harmed at my hands." Elijah promised. "I only ask for one thing in return."
"What?" Damon asked.
"An apology. I don't care who delivers it." The Original declared.
"I'm sorry that we put that dagger in you." Jessie said. "We were doing what we thought was right at the time."
"The sacrifice is going to happen." Elena declared. "Bonnie will be able to kill Klaus without killing herself and Elijah has a way to save my life."
"And you're trusting him?" Damon asked.
"I am." Elena responded.
"This is stupid and you can all go to hell." Damon stated before he walked away.
"He'll come around." Stefan promised.
"I certainly hope so." Elijah remarked.
Anna and Jessie both turned to leave as well.
"So did you catch Valerie up to speed?" The older vampire asked.
"Almost, I didn't get to the part about Bonnie." Jessie explained. "How was your day?"
"I found out a lot about the curse." Anna declared. "It's not what we knew at all. A witch put a curse on Klaus to prevent him from being a werewolf as well as a vampire."
"So does there still have to be a sacrifice?" Jessie inquired.
"Yes, the terms of the sacrifice all still the same, but we won't be able to walk around in the sunlight without our rings." Anna told her.
"So did you find out anything that was really useful?" The teenager asked.
"My dad told me that he knew of a way to save Elena." Anna replied.
"I have another question." Jessie remarked. "Besides, Anna the sacrifice requires a werewolf and a vampire. Just who are those supposed to be?"
Anna stopped for a second.
"I didn't think of that." She admitted. "I don't know. I don't know who we are supposed to sacrifice. I mean I might be able to get a vampire to come here, but I don't know a werewolf that we can use. We don't really have anyone who is expendable."
"I hope that Elijah has sort of plan for this." Jessie declared as she parked in her driveway and then went into her house to finish telling Valerie.
Inside Alaric's apartment, Maddox and Klaus's other witch, Greta were casting a spell to put the Original back in his own body. The two witches stopped talking and Alaric looked around. He noticed Katherine.
"Elena?" He asked before he lost consciousness.
Maddox then opened the box that was in the center of the room. Katherine looked in fear as a man with curly blonde hair and a beard in a nice suit stepped out. He looked around the room and at Alaric before he smirked evilly.
"Now that's more like it." Klaus declared.
Now Klaus is out and you know what's going to happen next. Jessie asked the important question that none of the main characters in the show ever thought to. And James told Anna about the curse. What is going to happen next? Who will die? Please don't forget to review.
