Chapter 21

Elena held her pounding head as she stared back at Stefan dumbfounded. She was lost for words for a moment.

"Stefan?" Elena asked when she found her voice. "Please, please get Jenna out of here!"

Stefan shook his head almost sadly. Maybe he did have some emotions. "I can't. He compelled me to not let her go." He said.

Elena leaned her head up against the wall behind her and tried to hold in a sob. There went her last chance of getting Jenna out alive. She wiped the small stream of blood that was still coming from her forehead on her sleeve that was already covered in dried blood and started to silently cry.

Stefan looked at her, a look of hunger on his face. Elena saw that he was staring at the blood on her forehead. She rubbed at it a little more to try to make it stop bleeding.

Suddenly Elena remembered that this was not the Stefan that she fell in love with. This was the Stefan who had killed hundreds of innocent people. This was the Stefan who had been friends with Klaus and Rebekah.

Her breathing hitched in her throat and she tried to back away from him. She was still bleeding and she knew how instable he was around human blood. She winced and cried out when she put her weight on her broken wrist pushing herself backwards.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Klaus compelled me so I wouldn't." Stefan said noticing her fright of him.

"Did he compel you to betray us too? Or did you do that on your own?" She asked him angrily. He scoffed and shook his head.

"Of course he compelled me! I would never to anything to hurt you on my own Elena." He said.

Elena narrowed her eyes at him. "What about Rebekah? Cause seeing you with her hurt pretty bad. Did he compel you to kiss her?" She asked.

Stefan started to glare at her. "That was on my own. I still love her Elena. I only forgot my love for her because Klaus took it away, but it's still there, now that I remember. " He said. "I wasn't talking about that kind of hurt anyway."

Elena crossed her arms as best she could with her broken wrist. She had guessed that Stefan didn't have feeling for her anymore after seeing them together but she still felt tears in her eyes at his sudden admission of truth.

As if reading her mind Stefan said, "I still love you Elena, it's just not the same as before."

Stefan took a step closer and Elena scooted away instinctively.

"I can't get you out of here but I can make sure you come back." Stefan said. "This is all my fault. I need to make it up somehow." Elena looked up at him shocked.

"Stefan no, please don't." She said when she saw him still walking toward her. The look on his face was frightening her.

She backed herself into a wall and he kept walking until he was right in front f her. He knelt down and looked straight into her face.

"Stefan, please no. It's not your fault." Elena said to him again. "This isn't what I want."

She suddenly saw the veins pop out from under his eyes and he bit his wrist. She brought her hand up to her mouth to cover it but he pushed it away and held it down.

With nothing to cover her lips she just bit them closed. Stefan was still looking into her eyes though.

"I want you to come back Elena, I'm sorry, but you can't be gone forever. I can't have that be my fault." He said and then started to compel her. "Stop fighting."

Elena felt her lips unwillingly open and he shoved his wrist into her mouth. She felt the disgusting metallic taste of blood flow down her throat until he took his wrist away.

"I'm sorry Elena. I just couldn't lose you." Stefan said and then he was gone.

O

"It's time."

Elena looked up where she was still huddled on the ground to see Klaus was standing where Stefan had been when she first saw him. She wiped almost dry tears from her eyes as her heart started beating rapidly.

Klaus motioned for her to follow him up the stairs she saw past a large door. She took a deep breath and pushed herself up by her right wrist.

When she stood up again she realized that she felt better because of Stefan's blood. Except for her wrist. She looked down and saw that it was still at the strange angle. It must have healed wrong.

Klaus grabbed her by the elbow and they became a blur as he sped up the stairs and through a hallway. Elena briefly thought that she would probably be able to do that herself soon but wiped it from her mind. She didn't want to think about that.

Before they left the door that Elena guessed led to the street Klaus opened a door on their right. "Maddox. It's time." He called into the apartment.

Elena looked around and saw that where they were was probably an abandoned apartment building somewhere. It looked like it was falling apart and there was dust everywhere. She guessed no people had been here for a long time.

Maddox the witch came out carrying Jenna. Elena gasped and tried to dart over to her but Klaus held her back by her arm.

"Let's go." He said motioning for Maddox to lead the way. Klaus dragged Elena to the door following Maddox carrying Jenna. Maddox pushed the door opened using Jenna's body and Elena scowled at him.

Klaus pulled Elena roughly down the stairs outside the building and she almost fell but caught herself. She looked around and waited for her eyes to adjust to the night. She saw that she had no idea where they were but there were no people anywhere. There was only a car parked right on the street.

Klaus noticed that she had stopped walking and pulled her forward again but this time she fell. He didn't try to catch her so she fell putting half her weight on her broken wrist trying to catch herself. She cursed under her breath and when Klaus pulled her up he saw tears in her eyes. He let go of her and opened the back door of the car.

"Okay short drive then it's sacrificing time!" Klaus said rubbing his hands together wickedly. He walked over to Elena and pushed her roughly inside the car. Maddox set Jenna's body down next to her.

Klaus and Maddox got in the front seats and Klaus started driving. Elena kept looking over at Jenna to see if there was any sigh of her waking but saw none.

After about 15 minutes Klaus pulled over at the side of the road next to the woods.

"Maddox, please take these two ladies to the quarry while I hide the car."

'The quarry?' Elena thought to herself, 'Why would he bring us there?'

Klaus opened her car door and she didn't budge. "So stubborn." He said under his breath and rolled his eyes. He took her bad wrist and ripped her out of the car by it causing her to cry out in pain.

Once she was standing next to him Klaus pushed the hair out of her eyes and tilted her chin up to him. "No funny business Elena. Don't try to get away.'' He said compelling her. He pointed over to Maddox and Elena sighed and walked over to him. There was no point in fighting anymore.

Klaus sped off in the car leaving Elena standing next to Maddox who was holding unconscious Jenna. "This way." He said motioning into the woods with his head.

While they were walking Elena kept trying to convince him to let Jenna go. He just kept rolling his eyes at her. When they reached the quarry Klaus was already there. There was a girl lying in front of him and Elena saw her writhing in pain.

When they got a little closer to Klaus, Maddox suddenly dropped Jenna's body and kept walking. Elena bent down next to her and started shaking her body.

"Jenna. Please wake up. Jenna!" She said to her. She looked up to see Klaus sneering at her before he walked away and started talking with Maddox.

While they were talking Elena kept shaking Jenna and pleading with her to wake up. She finally did after about five minutes.

"Elena?" She asked groggily.

"Yes! Jenna! Are you okay?" Elena asked and moved over allowing her to sit up.

"Yea. Just a headache." Jenna said as she rubbed her head. Then she looked around. "Where are we?" She asked confusion on her face.

Elena took a deep breath. "We're at the quarry. I think this is where Klaus wants to sacrifice us." She said to her.

Jenna's eyes widened in fear and shock.

"Jenna, wait.'' She said looking over at Klaus and Maddox who were still talking. The girl on the ground was making a lot of noise that might cover up what Elena was about to say. She motioned for Jenna to come closer and when she did Elena whispered in her ear. "Run."

"I can't leave you." Jenna whispered back.

Elena snuck a glance back to Klaus and Maddox talking again. "You can. I'll be fine, Stefan … did something to me, but you won't get out of here alive. We can't leave Jeremy without a family Jenna." She said pleading her with her eyes.

"Wait, what did Stefan do to you?" Jenna asked Elena. She saw sadness cross Elena's face before she pushed it away.

"He fed me his blood." Jenna gasped loud and Elena looked up to see if Klaus had noticed. "At least I'll come back." She said trying to comfort her.

Elena looked over to Klaus again. Jenna was running out of time to run. "Jenna, please go. I'll be fine." She begged her.

Jenna looked over to Klaus who was walking away from Maddox and over to the girl on the ground. Maddox had his back to her.

"I can do something better." She said so quiet Elena almost didn't hear her.

"What do you…?" Elena asked looking at her confused. Then she trailed Jenna's glare to Maddox and she started to panic. "Jenna no! Just run!" She whispered urgently.

But it was too late. Before she had finished her sentence Jenna was already behind Maddox. He turned sharply around to see Jenna totally vamped out. Before he could even think to give her an aneurism she was at his neck. He screamed out and Klaus turned sharply away from his werewolf.

He first looked to Elena sitting on the ground and then to Jenna at Maddox's neck. He stormed over to them at human sped furious. He ripped the baby vampire away from his witch and pushed her on the ground. He quickly bit his wrist and shoved it in Maddox's mouth to heal him.

"Jenna! Run!" He heard the doppleganger call. His head snapped over to her but she and the vampire were gone.

"Keep an eye on my wolf." He said to Maddox before speeding off. He got a couple hundred feet into the woods and then stopped, sniffing around. There was a faint trace of the smell of blood to his left. He sped that way smelling again and again for the human vein.

It was only a little while before he started to hear that he was gaining on them. The new vampire wasn't half as fast as him and she was weighed down by the doppleganger she was holding.

Klaus put himself into a burst of speed and caught up to them tackling the vampire. She let go of the doppleganger and Klaus and her started rolling together on the ground. Klaus heard a loud noise and "Oof!" when the doppleganger hit a tree.

He quickly overpowered the vampire and pinned her to the ground. "Stop fighting." He compelled her and she suddenly was still. "Go back to the quarry. Don't try to get away." She got up and ran away at vamp-speed toward the direction they had come from.

Klaus clicked his tongue and turned to Elena who was still on the ground from her impact with the tree. "Still trying to get away. Haven't you learned your lesson by now?" He said to her.

She didn't have a snide remark for him this time. When he crouched down in front of her she looked up at him and just seemed tired.

"Lets just get this over with." She said trying to stand up herself but winced. Klaus took her arm and pulled her up.

He linked their arms together and then sped them back to the quarry. He saw Maddox rubbing his neck and the vampire next to the werewolf not moving or making a sound.

"Let's break this curse."
