Chapter Thirteen – Monster
Jessica's POV
Splash!
"Wake up, Sleepyhead!" Someone said after throwing water in Jessica's face, waking her up.
Jessica snorted and tried to focus her eyes, but the water kept streaming and dripping into her eyes, so it was not easy. All she could see was that the room she was in was pitch black. She was sitting on something that felt like an armchair, and both of her hands and feet were tied to it, but it didn't move an inch when Jessica tried to make it tip over, meaning the chair was probably somehow bolted to the floor. Jessica's head was continuously pounding, and that sickening smell of Vanilla and Cherry wasn't helping. Wait… Vanilla and Cherry… what was special with mixed Vanilla and Cherry? It had to do something with the ropes, since they reeked of it. She could hear parts of one of her mother long lessons on herbs.
"…and something that witches and warlocks liked to use back then were mixing Vanilla with Cherry and soaking the ropes, or any other material that could be used to tie a human down. If you tie down a witch or warlock with those ropes and keep the ropes on their skin, their magic will be blocked."
Great… how was she going to get out of this mess? The Witch Hunters were very smart, because that trick was popular in the middle ages, and, as far as Jessica knew, she and Beth were two of the few that knew about it. Hmm, maybe these Hunters were more knowledgeable than the last bunch she'd met.
"Hello Jessica," the man said, and Jessica was blinded with sunlight. "My name is Kevin, it's nice to finally meet you. I think you remember my sister, Monique? She has told me so many interesting stories about you and you sister, what's her name again… Beth, wasn't it? If you are even half as good as the stories I've heard, you are one of the best witches I've ever met… and then you go and join the enemy… What a waste."
"I didn't have a choice; Klaus threatened Beth's life. That's why I agreed to help him use my blood to make his hybrids, but I was only trying to buy some time to find a way to get away from him and his family."
"That so? I have gotten reports that you and that Original, Elijah, looked really cozy together on that big party at the Mikaelson's a few days ago. I think that you're just lying and really have gone over to the dark side. Bennett witches are famous for switching sides, and the Evans's are well known for being traitors."
This got Jessica furious, and if it hadn't been for thus ropes, she would have made him scream of pain, probably by creating bursting aneurysms in his brain. But, unfortunately, nothing happened to the man, and Jessica could feel like the ropes burning, like the spell was trapped in them.
"Don't be stupid, Jessica, we both know that whatever spells you're trying are blocked by the ropes. I'm guessing that you regret letting Monique look in that famous 'Evans-grimoire' of yours."
Monique… if anyone deserved the title "traitor", it was her. She'd made Jessica think they were friends, made Jessica trust her and then stabbed her in the back. With every breath, the anger in Jessica grew and the angrier she got, the more did the ropes burn. Within seconds, the pain was so extreme, she couldn't hear a word Kevin was saying.
"Pay attention when I'm talking to you, bitch!" Kevin yelled, slapping her several times in the face, but Jessica ignored him, the pain in her face was nothing to the pain in her wrist and ankles. Kevin screamed from the pain in his hand and instead picked up a knife. "You think that ignoring me is going to save your life?" Kevin said and chuckled, "'Cause if you do, you might as well change your mind right now. The only reason you're even breathing is so you'll tell me where you have hidden all those grimoires you have in your possession, and if I have to torture you to get that information, so be it." Kevin shouted and stabbed Jessica in the thigh, making her scream in pain. "Finally… So, where are they?"
The pain from the burns, the pain in her face and leg triggered some massive magical reaction in Jessica, and the ropes burst into flames. Then suddenly they were gone, surprising both Jessica and Kevin. Jessica yanked out the knife out of her leg and punched Kevin in the head several times, until he was unconscious on the floor. She searched him in hope for some sort of weapon, but the only thing she found was a pocket-knife, but also a key-chain with a car key… each of which could come in handy. She used the pocket-knife to get the shirt off of Kevin, then used it to wrap up her bleeding leg. It wasn't bleeding too much which meant that no major arteries were nicked. When that was taken care of, she knew it was time to get out of there.
She sneaked into the next room that was filled with hunter, but there were only two doors in that room, so she had no other way but through them. She managed to overpower the first one rather easy, simply by surprise. The rest of them weren't as easy, but somehow she got out of there with only two more stab wounds, one in the abdomen and one in the left shoulder. When she finally got out of the house, she found herself in the middle of the woods.
She looked around outside the house, hoping to find Kevin's car, but no luck. Mercifully, she did find a path leading away from the house, and after walking (more like limping) for twenty minutes, she found a dirt road and several cars. She wasn't very good with hot-wiring cars – Beth was the expert at that – and she hadn't much time before the hunters would get there, so she started to test Kevin's keys on the cars. Finally, she found the right car, a Nissan Armada… Jessica was surprised, she'd expected a more sporty car than an SUV.
After driving for about 2 miles, she ended up on the highway, luckily, only 35 miles outside of Mystic Falls. Jessica sighed, finally, a lucky break, she just have to drive for another half an hour and she would be back with her sister…at Klaus's mansion. She wished she didn't have to, that she could just drive to the hospital, but that would just make the doctors as questions she didn't want to answer.
When she was just outside of Mystic Falls, she started to feel really dizzy… The bleeding from her wounds was still not that bad, which meant that she was bleeding internally and that was not good. The only way to fix that, without a trip to the hospital, was with vampire blood. Luckily, she had no shortage of that… if she only could get there…
As she got to the mansion she could barely stand up, but somehow did she manage to get into the house. Unfortunately she couldn't find anyone. This was not happening… Usually there were always several vampires around her, but the only time she needed one, there was no one to be found. She tried to call Beth on the phone in the kitchen, but the dizziness made it very hard to remember the number. After dialing the wrong number four times she got to Beth's voicemail.
"Beth, it's me, Jessica, I need your help and I don't have much time. I need you to tell me where you hid that bottle of vampire blood you always keep around. I'm at the mansion, please hurry."
Jessica fell down to the floor, so tired that she had a hard time keeping her eyes open. In order to keep herself awake a little bit longer, she started to recite all the ingredients in several potions, but it only worked for a couple of minutes. As the world went black Jessica had only one thought, a prayer that she would see her sister one more time.

Beth's POV
After sitting through two meetings with Klaus and about thirteen witches, Beth was finally sitting in an expensive restaurant on a date with the hybrid, and surprisingly she was actually having a great time. He told her stories of his thousand year long life, all of his travels, all the people he had meet… She was very impressed that he'd had a short "thing" with Lady Gaga, he was even the inspiration to "Teeth"… She told him about her hunting stories and all about her family, which she found out wasn't even close to the craziness of his own… She even managed to make him laugh at the story of when she and Jessica went undercover as backup-dancers to a Christina Aguilera concert. Hopefully Jessica wouldn't find out about this, or she would kill her.
She had so much fun that she barely noticed that her cell-phone was ringing. Beth grunted, it was probably Jessica who wanted to spoiler her date… Just because Jessica never got a date, didn't mean that she had the right to always interrupt hers, so she let it go to voicemail, dealing with her later.
Ten minutes later, they were sitting in Klaus' limousine, on their way to meet another witch. Beth had almost forgotten about Jessica's call, but suddenly got reminded to check her voicemail.
"Oh god…" Beth said after listening to Jessica's message, starting to panic and banged on the glass towards the driver. "We have to turn home, now!" The chauffeur nodded and turned left, towards the Mikaelson Mansion.
"What are you doing? Turn around immediately." Klaus shouted to the driver, who tried to turn around but Beth put a spell on him, making him scream and drive to the shoulder.
"We need to get back, Klaus, Jessica is in trouble, and I don't think we have much time."
"Slow down love, and tell me what's going on." Beth played Jessica's message for Klaus, how didn't seemed to understand what was so important. "I'm sorry love but I don't understand what it is that you're trying to tell me."
"Jessica is asking for vampire blood. I always keep a small bottle of vampire blood for emergencies, but Jessica despises the use of vampire blood on humans. If she is willing to use it, she must be in extreme danger. Please, Klaus, we need to get back."
"Of course, as soon as we have all the witches we need. Now be so kind as to let the driver go so we can get to our destination."
"No, we need to get back, now! Please Klaus, Jessica could be in danger." Beth begged, but Klaus remained the same. Beth wondered what happened to that sweet man she just had dinner with, then she understood. "You really don't care, do you? I guess that you never did… All this flirting and sweet-talk that you been doing, it was just to for show, wasn't it?" Klaus didn't even deny it, making Beth furious. "You just care about making your damn hybrids…" Beth made a low growl toward Klaus, thinking out spells to make him suffer for playing with her feelings, but she didn't have time. She released the driver and jumped out of the car, racing back home with her channeled vampire speed.
She didn't get far before she ran into Kol and Elijah, who were out looking for Jessica. She told them about Jessica's message, and they hurried to the mansion and they found her lying on the kitchen floor. Beth ran to her sister's side to check on her and thankfully her heart was slowly beating, meaning that there was still hope.
Kol sat down next to Jessica and put her head in his lap, bit his wrist and pressed it against Jessica's mouth, making the red liquid run down her throat and seconds later, Jessica opened her eyes, coughing and gasping for air and Elijah helped her up.
"Are you okay, sis?" Beth needed to know that her sister wasn't going to die on her. Jessica made a silent nod to Beth, making her sigh, and slap Jessica in the back of the head. "That's for making me panic." Jessica just smiled at her. "Now, I want to know what happened to you."
Over several drinks, Jessica told them about the Witch Hunters. Kol wanted to check up on them and maybe get some answers. Elijah was worried about Jessica and more or less forced her to stay at home, resting andnotget killed, while Beth and Kol used the GPS from car Jessica "stole" to get back to the house where the Hunters had kept Jessica hostage.
When they got to the house, they noticed several dead bodies outside the house, three with snapped necks, one with a severed head and one whose heart was ripped out. Inside the house looked very much the same as outside. Beth found Monique lying on the kitchen floor with her head snapped almost 180 degrees, and next to her lay a man fitting Jessica's description of her brother, Kevin, with his throat sliced. This amount of damage required a lot more force than Jessica had, so who had done it?
Kol and Beth carried all the bodies inside the house, using gasoline from one of the cars to light the house on fire. Beth shed a tear for Monique, or at least the part of her that had been Beth and Jessica's friend. As they were walking back to the car, Kol put his hand on Beth's shoulder and she felt a bit better. Now she just wanted get back home, eat ice-cream with her sister and sulk about Klaus tricking her to believe he actually cared for her, putting off the issue of who killed the Witch Hunters for some other day.

Unknown Person's POV
He watched as the Original and the Witch burned the Witch Hunters bodies, and when they had left, he called her, just as he had been instructed.
"Hey it's me. Yeah, they just left. Everything has been taken cared of. No, I made sure there was no trace of you ever having been in the house. Yes, Miss Katherine, I know what to do." The man said and dialed another number, activating a bomb strapped to his chest.
