'It's time,' Elsia said.
She looked at Céline, almost unconscious with her hands tied up, the vampire with handcuffs and the empty bowl in front of her, without the circle made of torches. She looked at the knife at the table in front of her and then at the full moon. She felt it was time.
The witches stood outside of the circle, hand in hand. She could use their power for the spell. Elsia closed her eyes. She started chanting the magic words . Then she walked with the bowl and the knife towards the vampire. She made a cut in his wrist and the blood dropped inside of the bowl. She started whispering words in Latin again and walked back to the table. She cut her own hand and let a few drops of blood fell. She could see Bonnie, standing in de moonlight. It was impossible for her ghost to walk away during the spell. She walked towards the girl. She asked the ghost to bring Bonnie back. In return they would give her her sister. She grabbed the girl and dragged her towards the middle of the circle.
She held the bowl against the lips of the girl and made her drink. 'In her is the blood of the sibling, the witch and the vampire united. When I kill her, let the magic bring her sister to life,' she said in Latin. Bonnie screamed when she planted the knife in Céline's chest. The girl screamed before her head fell down.
Bonnie felt a sting in her heart. In an instant, she could feel again. How could feel the strong cold blow of the wind, when another witch grabbed her arm she felt her hand and she a sting when someone pulled a hair out of her head.
'It worked,' a male witch yelled.
Bonnie felt a little dizzy, but she knew what she had to do. She had to escape. In a few seconds, the witches who were holding her fell on the ground, but another witch grabbed her.
'Let her go!' Caroline yelled. She wanted to grab the witch, but she couldn't enter the circle of torches. Elena, Damon, Stefan – who had flown to them, Caroline, Katherine, Jeremy, Klaus and Elijah were there.
Bonnie looked at them and smiled.
'You're okay, Bonnie?' Damon asked.
'I'm fine,' she said, before someone hut her on the head and she fell on the ground. Stefan wanted to hurt the witches who had hurt her¸ but he couldn't enter the circle either.
'Do you want to fight again?' Elsia asked. 'Because otherwise, you'll have to go away.'
She gave him a smile, her eyes glimmering in the night as the eyes of a cat. She was proud of herself. Proud that she had managed to perform the spell. Bonnie was there and they were able to make sure no vampire would even harm them again. The other witches stayed in the circle, breathing heavily.
'We're not going anywhere,' Klaus said.
Elsia always had an injection with vervain with her. You know, as a witch she met a lot of vampires and some of them were dangerous. She knew what she had to.
The witches held hands once again, so Elsia could use her powers. She felt how strong she was with their help and smiled at the vampires. This would be easy.
Klaus screamed in pain when the spell hit him. He felt like his whole body was on fire. Suddenly, he had lost control over his body and he felt himself walking towards the circle.
'We witches give you permission to come inside, Klaus Michealson,' Elsia said with a heated smile.
'No!' Caroline yelled and she sped towards Klaus to grab his arm. When she touched him, it was like she was electrocuted. She yelled and stepped back; and Klaus was with the witches.
Elsia grabbed the injection of vervain and put the injection needle into his neck.
Klaus didn't make a sound and fell down, unconscious.
'You've no chance against us,' Elsia said to the vampires. She kicked against Klaus body to prove her point. So go away.'
The vampires – and Jeremy and Katherine – looked at them with pure hatred. She also recognized feeling of defeat and laughed at Elijah's expression; looking at his brother. 'Well, go,' she said to them. 'I promise I'll take good care of your beloved Klaus.'
Damon and Stefan looked at each other as if they had excepted their defeated. They had Bonnie, they had Klaus and if they killed Klaus – no, when they killed Klaus, they would die too.
'Let's go,' Damon said. He put an arm around Katherine's waist and forced her to follow him.
'No,' she screamed. She wanted to go back. 'No, Damon! I'm not going to give up!'
'There's nothing we can do,' Damon said.
'Damon, no!' she protested. 'I'm not giving up an you. Never!'
Damon sighed. 'I'm sorry,' he said to her, before he lifted her up. She hit his back.
'Let go of me!' she said.
It was like they had died already. Well, most of them had, but if they were really going to die forever.
'I need to talk to you,' Damon said to Stefan. He decided he had to clear things up if they were both going to die.
'Okay,' Stefan said.
They left the house. Damon felt Katherine's gaze burning holes in his jacket, but he tried to ignore it. He would talk to her later.
'Brother,' he said to Stefan.
'Damon,' he responded.
When the others couldn't hear them anymore, they turned around to face each other. Stefan waited for Damon to say something.
'When we both turned into vampires,' Damon said. 'I was angry with Katherine for turning us both. I thought she had chosen me.' He sighed. 'But she hadn't. It took me years to get over that. We all know what happened to me.' He looked at Stefan.
'But I want you to know that after a few years, after I ruined our relationship, I started to think. I realised that I was wrong. It wasn't your fault. It was my fault. And Stefan… I really wanted to rebuild our relationship.'
He felt the first tears burning. 'And I tried. I wanted to follow you into war, but Lexi told me I shouldn't. She told me it would be better for you to be without me. I realised she was right. But I've followed you, and watched you, and made sure you did okay.' The first tear rolled over his cheek. 'Because that's what big brothers do. And I know realise I was a coward. I just didn't dare to tell you anything. So I just pretended to hate you, so you didn't want to have anything to do with me. Because Lexi was right, you're better off without me.' He sniffed.
'Stefan, you're my little brother. I love you. I know I've been an asshole, but…'
He didn't know what to say. He and Stefan just stood there, both crying and sniffing, until Stefan started laughing. He stepped towards Damon and hugged him. And they just stood there, brother and brother. 'I love you too,' Stefan said. 'My big brother,' he smiled.
'My baby bro,' Damon said.
When they came back, after more than more hours of talking, the ambiance was still horrible. Caroline was just crying, Jeremy was holding Elena and Elijah was calling Rebekah.
'I'm sorry I didn't told you earlier,' he said, 'but we wanted to keep you out of this.'
Damon could hear Rebekah yelling at him and Matt asking what was happening in the background. He had to smile. At least Barbie Klaus would have her happy ending.
Katherine sat on the couch. He gave her a genuine smile and walked to her to hug her. She clung into his embrace and cried.
He had accepted the fact that he would die. He had lived over a hundred years. But Katherine… she looked so vulnerable in his arms.
'I'll always love you,' he whispered in his ear.
'I know,' Katherine sniffed. 'I don't want you to die, Damon.'
'Me neither,' he smiled. 'I'll watch over you.' He kissed her hair and pulled her even closer. 'You'll be okay.'
'I won't,' Katherine said. 'I finally found you, I'm never going to let you go.'
'Katherine,' Damon said. He pulled away from her and cupped her face, looking into her eyes. 'You'll have to promise me something.'
She nodded.
'When I die,' Damon said. 'I want you to get over it. You can mourn, for a few weeks, but after that, you'll have to move on. Go back to college, make friends, find a boyfriend, find a job and after a few years, marry someone and have some beautiful baby's.' He gave her a sad smile. 'I've always wanted that, Katherine. All I ever wanted was a family. And you can have one. Please, do it for me. Be happy for me.'
Katherine couldn't stop crying.
'Do you promise that?' Damon asked.
'I can't,' she whispered. 'I'm not sure if I can, Damon. It's a lie that being a vampire heightens everything. Being human is much more intense than being a vampire. I've never loved as much as now.'
'Then try,' Damon asked her.
'I promise you I'll try,' Katherine said, trying to smile at him. He pulled her into a hug.
'I love you, Kat,' he said.
'I love you too,' she whispered back.
When Klaus woke up, his hands were tied up in a way he could never escape and he couldn't move his feet either. He was locked up, by the witches. So this is the end, he thought. I'm going to die. He supposed he wasn't allowed to complain with his more than 1000 years, but he did. He had finally found the love of his life and when she finally loved him back, he died. It was a bit sad. No, it was not a bit sad, it was even sadder then Pyramus and Thisbe, Romeo and Julliet and the story of the Trojan war. He sighed. He had literally waited a thousand years for her.
'Finally,' Elsia said when she walked towards him. 'You've been asleep for hours.'
She smiled at him. 'I wanted you to be awake during the ritual.'
'How thoughtful of you,' Klaus said. He felt how thirsty he was and he closed his eyes. Let it be short, he prayed.
Bonnie sat behind him. Elsia walked towards her and touched her.
'Is it working?' another witch asked.
'I can feel it,' Elsia said. She closed her eyes and pulled the power of Emmely Bennet, Bonnie's ancestor, towards her.
'It's really easy, actually,' Elsia said. 'Al we have to do is a simple spell to evoke the power of Bonnie's blood.'
She closed her eyes and started to chant. It was like Emmely told her what to do; she could feel her power in her. After a few minutes she opened her eyes. 'It's done,' she said.
She walked back and grabbed a knife and a bottle.
'Don't worry,' she said to Bonnie. 'I only need some blood.'
'Witches and blood,' Klaus said. 'You and I have a lot more in common that I thought.' He smiled at her.
'Funny,' Elsia said. 'But we don't drink the blood, we just use it.'
She grabbed Bonnie's wrist and made a small cut. The blood fell in the bottle. It took her a few minutes to prepare the injection needle. Bonnies blood was inside it and she would put it into Klaus system.
'Are you ready,' she asked him. She enjoyed teasing the mighty vampire.
'Sure,' Klaus said, refusing to show any fear.
After she had put the needle in his shoulder, he was unconscious in a few seconds.
