Chapter 7

Saturday Pt. 2

I took one look at Damon's face, and immediately conjured up a large wooden stake. I knew there was no way I was going to get out of this unscathed, but I brandished it anyway, and pointed it right at him.

"If you think, for one second, that I am going to let some STUPID werewolf ruin our lives, AGAIN, you are sadly mistaken." I growled. "You know damn well that I can fight, and you know damn well what I am capable of. I WILL NOT stand aside and let you fight without me!"

I didn't even see him move, but the next thing I knew, I was being flattened up against the wall. Damon had his hand around my throat, baring his fangs, and held my arm with the wooden stake in it at arm's length against the wall. The stake burst into flames, and begin burning my hand. Damn him, and his wandless magic! I didn't give him the satisfaction of crying out in pain as my hand started to burn, but I couldn't stop the tears from forming. I gritted my teeth, and glared at him. A jet of water hit my hand, putting out the flames, but the damage to my hand had already been done.

"Don't make me kill you Damon." Klaus growled, as the humans looked on in fear, and watching what was happening in disbelief.

Damon didn't take his eyes off me, but he let go of my arm, and bit his wrist. He forcefully slammed it over my mouth, and made me drink his blood. The other humans watched this horrified, but they were too scared to make a move. Ugh! I hate the taste of blood! He released me when he was satisfied that I had drank enough, and backed away.

"So what? Are you going to snap my neck, forcing a sire bond on me, and make me your loyal lap dog?" I hissed, wiping the excess blood off my lips.

"It crossed my mind." He said glaring at me.

"And I will kill you where you stand." Klaus said.

I cradled my blistered and blackened hand against my chest, but I could feel it starting to tingle, as the vampire blood started to heal it.

"Alright that's enough you three." Stefan said, as if this kind of thing happened every day. "There is no sense in fighting about it. What's done, has been done."

"I agree." Elijah said, placing himself between Klaus and Damon. "That's enough of this."

Damon kept glaring at me, but he relaxed a little. "Fine, but if she dies in this fight, it's not my fault."

"She won't die, and you know it." Stefan said. "Besides there is no fighting yet."

I looked at Stefan. "When then?"

"Not for awhile. We need to gather intel, along with a whole list of other things. For once in your life Lynn, please listen to us." Stefan said.

"For once in my life? I spent six months trapped inside a house, hiding behind muggle repelling charms, and watching those I love die! Never once did I complain! Never once did I ever let it show how much it bothered me! I spent hours pacing the front hall waiting for the four of you to come home! Hoping and praying that the muggles hadn't killed you too! I watched as Finn died! I watched as Kol died! I watched as Rebekah died! I don't even know if Caroline and Tyler are still alive! I WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN!" I screamed, and sank to the floor sobbing.

The pain in my hand was unbearable at this point, but I didn't care about that. The feelings that I had bottled up for almost a year, came spilling out as tears ran down my cheeks. Klaus was at my side in an instant. Tears were leaking out of his own eyes.

"It's ok Love. I promise you will never have to watch that happen ever again. I'm so sorry. We had no idea how much that really effected you. I'm so sorry." He said, pulling me close to his chest.

"We won't make you relive that again." Stefan said, clearly shaken by my outburst. "You can help us fight when the time comes. We won't stop you."

"You are so strong Lynn. Never once did you show how much it all really bothered you. We had no idea what you went through. I'm so sorry that I was blind and unaware of your feelings." Elijah said.

"Stupid werewolves. I hate them. I hate them." I sobbed against Klaus's chest. Then I looked up at Remus. "I don't mean you though. You're not stupid."

Remus smiled at me. "I didn't think you did. I am not offended."

I nodded at him, and said, "I'm sorry that I have caused a scene."

"Nevermind that, I think you should go to the hospital wing, so that Madam Pomfrey can tend to your hand." Professor Snape said.

I held it up, and showed them that it was almost healed. "There's no need. It will be totally healed in a few minutes. It just hurts a bit right now, but I'll be ok."

They all looked at my hand astonished. "How is that possible?" Professor Snape asked.

"Vampire blood will heal anything. The only drawback to it, is if someone dies with it in their system. If they die, then they will become a vampire. You can drink vampire blood all day long, and it won't hurt you." Stefan explained.

"It just tastes really, really bad." I chuckled.

Draco let out a long sigh. "I thought you were going to become a vampire when you drank his blood."

I shook my head. "No I'm not going to turn into a vampire. Unless I die today."

"Well let's just go and lock you in your dorm, so that nothing happens to you." Ron said.

I laughed and looked at Ron, "I vant to zuck your blood!" I said, in my best Dracula imitation.

Everybody laughed at that, and Klaus helped me off the floor. Damon came over to me and pulled me into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry Princess. I love you." He said quietly, and kissing my cheek.

"I know. I love you too. You didn't know. I've never told anyone how I really felt. It's ok." I said, and returned his kiss.

"Gross! No one wants to see all the lovey dovey kissy stuff." Klaus said with a grin, and everyone burst out laughing.

I swatted at him and laughed. "Hush."

"Well now seeing that Harry is involved, we might as well fill you kids in on the plan. We all know that you three," Sirius said, pointing to the trio, "will do what you think is right, regardless of what any of us say."

Ron sighed, "Are we EVER going to have a quiet year?"

Harry snorted. "I doubt it!"

"Well let's go into my classroom and talk." Sirius said.

Well that went well.

"Waiting? That's your plan?" I asked, looking at the adults in shock.

"That's all we can do for now Princess. We don't know enough about Greyback to really make a move." Damon said.

"I will be gathering together some information, and try to find out his plans. We have all agreed to keep our, very recent, change of heart a secret for now. That way we won't lose our more…darker…contacts in the wizarding world." Mr. Malfoy said.

"Miss Granger, what are your thoughts?" Elijah asked smiling at her.

She blushed, "Well I-I don't know. What should we do in the mean time?"

"Study, do your homework, take your O.W.L.S." Remus said.

"In other words, do nothing, while Greyback's pack gets stronger. Yeah that makes perfect sense." Harry said sarcastically.

"And what do you propose Mr. Potter?" Professor Snape asked sneering at him.

"I don't know? Take out Greyback now before he can do more damage." He answered.

"It's not that simple Harry." I said shaking my head. "Every time a werewolf is created they form what's called a sire bond. If we were to go in there, wands blazing and kill him, his pack would be leaderless and go on a killing rampage all over the country. Then they would fight for the Alpha position, and likely start over again, and continue Greyback's mission."

"What's a sire bond?" Ron asked.

"A werewolf sire bond is made out of loyalty. They will do whatever their creator wants them too." I explained. "A vampire's sire bond is rare, but they do happen. It's made out of love. If Damon had killed me earlier, we would have a sire bond, because I love him. I would be completely devoted to him, and him alone. Even though I love Klaus in a more romantic way, Klaus wouldn't matter to me anymore, because of the sire bond."

"That's why he threatened to kill me, because when the vampire sire dies, that bond is broken." Damon said.

"But it's not the same with werewolves." Klaus said. "They would still be loyal to him."

"So what if you create an army of Hybrids, would that do anything to deter Greyback?" Draco asked.

"No, and it would only make the problem worse. Trust me, we don't need any more like me running around." Klaus said. "I'm old enough to control myself, but the younger ones won't be able to, even with a sire bond."

"Professor Lupin, didn't Greyback sire you? I remember you mentioned that a long time ago." Hermione said.

"Yes, he sired me, but it has been many, many years and the bond has broken. You have to hate your creator so much, and go through so much pain to break it. I have changed every full moon since I was 4 years old. My bond to him has broken. That's one of the reasons he came here today, he tried to force the bond, but it's no longer there. That's why he's now going after older teenagers, verses young children, because the older ones can fight on his side." Remus said.

"So you see, we have no choice but to wait, gather information, and plan. We need to take out the entire pack in one fight." Sirius said.

"What about Klaus? Couldn't he spy for us?" Ron asked.

I jumped up, drew my wand, and pointed it at him, "Absolutely NOT! He may not be killable, but I won't allow it!"

Ron paled and took several steps back. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean…."

Klaus took hold of my arm, and lowered my wand. "But that's exactly what needs to happen Love. We need an insider, and a spy."

"But your part vampire! They would know you're not a full wolf! They won't accept you into the pack!" I cried.

"They won't know I'm part vampire. They will only sense the wolf in me, and I can compel them to accept me into the pack if I need too."

"But how do you know? What if you're wrong and they try to rip you to shreds."

"When I first met you all in the Three Broomsticks that night, I sensed three vampires and a werewolf. Needless to say I was surprised, because of our history. It wasn't until you told Sirius 'they are all vampires' that I realized Klaus was different." Remus said.

I looked at him in shock, then turned to Klaus. "No, no ,no, no. I won't…I can't let you do this."

"We have no choice Love." He said sadly.

"Oh, so what? You're just going to switch off your humanity and go on a killing spree, injuring who knows how many people? No, I won't allow it."

"I won't turn off my humanity, but we still have no choice." He repeated.

"Elijah! Do something!" I cried.

"I can't Sweetheart. He is dead set on it." Elijah said shaking his head.

"Professor Dumbledore agrees it's the right thing to do." Sirius said.

"I don't care who thinks it's the right thing to do! I don't!"

"Love, I am un-killable. It makes perfect sense." Klaus said. No you're NOT! What if they find out about the White Oak?

"You're not thinking this out." I said.

"Yes, I have Love. I'm going to do it."

"Two words Klaus, White Oak. Ring any bells? Because I'm not sure your thinking straight."

"We burned the bridge, and destroyed all the White Oak stakes. There is no more White Oak, and we poisoned the ground where it grew so that it would never grow back. We truly can't be killed now." Elijah said.

"You're lying Elijah, you're just saying that to make me feel better. You would have told me that before now."

"Is that why you're so upset Love? Because you think someone will find out about the White Oak?"

I nodded.

"Elijah isn't lying Princess. That's why we took so long to leave. We wanted to make 100% sure we got all the White Oak stakes. We burned the bridge and poisoned the ground. Klaus and Elijah truly can't be killed." Damon said.

I did the only thing I knew I could do, to make sure they were telling me the truth. I rounded on Stefan, because we was the least to expect my attack, and wandlessly and non-verbally cast Legilimens. I knew he had cried out and hit the floor, but I didn't care. I was searching, and I found what I was looking for. I saw the four of them dousing the bridge with gas and watching it burn to ashes. I saw them burning down the hunters homes and destroying the stakes inside them. I saw them compelling everyone to tell them where the stakes were, and they found every..last..one of them. I saw them compelling everyone to forget about the White Oak. I saw when they poisoned the ground, and I finally let him go. I was satisfied.

"Damn it Lynn! You could've just asked!" Stefan shouted, as he shook his head trying to clear it.

"I'm sorry, but I was afraid you'd block me." I said simply.

He glared at me. "The fact that you would think we were lying to you, is what pisses me off the most!"

I shrugged, and turned to Klaus. "Fine then. Do you what you want. Obviously my, thoughts, feeling, cares, and fears don't matter."

"They do matter Love. I'm sorry I didn't discuss this with you beforehand."

"There are two people in this relationship Klaus. Remember that, or there will only be one. Do you understand me?"

He stared at me wide eyed. "Please don't say that Love. I'm sorry. I promise from now on, I will talk to you about things like this."

"Well all of this drama today could have been avoided, if the four of you would stop keeping me in the dark. From now on I want to know EVERYTHING! Got it?"

They all glared at me, but they agreed.

"I've had it. I'm going to my dorm. I don't care if the four of you stay, or go. But leave me alone, because I don't want to see any of you for awhile."

I walked out the door and slammed it behind me. The last thing I heard, was Blaise saying that he never wanted to get on my bad side. It was a wise decision.

*A/N* To Always Forever, I never really thought about a Hermione and Elijah pairing, but I kinda like it! I'll see what I can do! If anyone has any other suggestions let me know! I will consider all of them! I know this chapter isn't very long, but I needed to break it up because I thought it would be to long. I hope you guys don't hate me! **
