AN: Thanks a lot for your wonderful reviews. I am not gonna keep you waiting anymore. Here is another chapter. Hope you like it...

Chapter 44: Meeting Abby Bennett

Meeting Abby wasn't supposed to happen so soon. It didn't happen until the mid of season three in my world. But I am here to change things, aren't I? According to my memory, I am living in the timeline before 'The last dance' episode of season two. Things are going to go downhill from now on. I am sure Caroline has already sent Damon my message so that he wouldn't worry about me. But knowing Damon he would still be worrying and if I am not wrong, he is pissed off as well. But hopefully Damon wouldn't prepare to leave Mystic Falls and start looking for me like he wanted to do last time when I ran off with Mason. I guess with Klaus in Mystic Falls, he wouldn't leave and let Stefan face the original alone.

I asked Bonnie to pull over the car as we reached Abby's colorful house. It was still early at night. I didn't expect to find the house so easily and so soon. But I guess luck was on our side. Bonnie was nervous about meeting her mother. Actually the word nervous would be an understatement considering Bonnie's reactions. She held my hand tightly and took in deep breaths to calm herself down as we stood in front of the main door. I was throwing comforting glances at her now and then. I knocked on the door and after a while it finally opened. We came face to face with Jemie. Obviously I knew him. Jamie stood there wondering who we were.

"Hello, I am Jacqueline Gilbert, and this is my friend Bonnie Bennett. We are here to meet Abby Wilson." I said with gentle and sweet tone of voice. Jamie nodded and let us in the house. Bonnie was looking at me confusingly. She didn't know that her mom changed her name from Bennett to Wilson for hiding in safely.

"I am Jamie." Jamie introduced himself to us. His eyes lingered on Bonnie a little longer than normal. I couldn't help but smile inwardly. They will really make a perfect couple. I know I shouldn't think about match making right now but I couldn't help it. Hopefully this time as well Bonnie and Jamie will get along fine with each other. It's time Bonnie has an actual relationship with someone. As Jeremy is already taken by Anna so Beremy isn't happening this time.

"You do look very familiar." Jamie said directly to Bonnie, looking at her closely.

"Abby is my mom" replied Bonnie hesitantly. Jamie was shocked to hear that and he gaped for a while at her which made Bonnie extremely uncomfortable in return.

"She is inside, let me call her" said Jamie after snapping out of the shock. I nodded thanking him for his kind help. As he left, Bonnie whispered to me.

"Could he be her son?" asked Bonnie and I couldn't help but chuckle.

"No, Bonnie, I don't think so that he is her son. Why didn't you ask him that yourself?" I asked and Bonnie just shrugged her shoulders. While waiting she started looking around the house curiously. A moment later Abby came into the room in a rush. Abby was obviously shocked to see us, especially Bonnie. Bonnie and I looked at each other and I nodded to her.

"Hi, I am Bonnie, your daughter." Bonnie introduced herself. They looked at each other for a while. Abby, not believing her own eyes but she spoke up at last.

"Hello Bonnie." Silence fell over us again after Abby said that. I smiled at Abby and spoke up to break the uncomfortable silence that had us consumed.

"I am Jacqueline Gilbert, her friend." Abby smiled warmly at me as well. We started talking about random things, really unimportant things. We weren't telling Abby, why we came here to visit her all on a sudden and she wasn't asking why we are here as well? Both parties were avoiding the main questions and answers. Abby made dinner for us and she talked to us about herself a bit and Jamie as well and also some more random things. While Bonnie and Abby talked, I kept silent and let them catch up with each other a bit. Bonnie was getting more and more relaxed with every passing minute. And it was a good thing because I have to head back to Mystic Falls in the morning. It must be a chaos back there by now.

"Let me help you." I said taking the dishes from Abby to organize the table for dinner.

"Thanks sweetie. You are so much like your mom in nature. She was very sweet too and really kind." Abby spoke fondly about my supposed mom Miranda whom I have never met. And I wish I would have.

"Thanks Abby." I said but Bonnie frowned at her mother.

"You knew her mom?" asked Bonnie and Abby nodded to that.

"Miranda was my best friend." She replied with casual tone of voice. Bonnie looked stunned for a moment.

"So, you had a daughter and a best friend and still you left." Bonnie accused Abby bluntly and angrily. I guess she couldn't pretend nice and normal anymore.

"My best friend is why I left." Abby defended herself against the accusation. Finally we are about to get to the business. Abby sat on the chair and took in a deep breath.

"Fifteen year ago, a vampire came into town looking for Elena, your sister." Abby said to me. "She is the doppelganger, but you already know that." Abby inhaled a deep breath again after saying that.

"No one could take him down, so I lured him out of the town and cast a spell to desiccate his body" said Abby. Bonnie and I looked at each other sharing a knowing look. Bonnie found more proof that everything I told her is true indeed. Not that she didn't believe me at first. But now she has proof. I spoke up and stopped Abby from explaining everything.

"I know Abby that you are talking about Mikael here. And I also know that you lost your powers doing that spell." Abby looked at me with a shocked expression on her face as I said that.

"How do you know about Mikael?" asked Abby still not believing her own ears. I took in a deep breath before speaking up again.

"I know a lot of things Abby but all you have to know is that Mikael's son Niklaus otherwise known as Klaus is in Mystic Falls right now. He too is after Elena. And there is no way to take him down except the way you took down Mikael." I said and Abby gasped hearing that. Bonnie and I looked at each other then I spoke up again.

"That's why we are here Abby. We need your help. Please help us save Elena." I said but Abby vehemently shook her head at that.

"No, the spell, it's too strong and dark. You will never be able to do it Bonnie" said Abby with concern in her voice. Bonnie glared at her mother for saying that.

"If you could have done that spell for your best friend then I could do it for my best friend and everyone I love and care about. I have to because Klaus is threatening everyone at the moment. And only I can take him down" said Bonnie with strong tone of voice. Abby was silent for a while then again shook her head.

"No, Bonnie you won't be able to do that spell. You are not ready for taking an innocent's life and killing someone" said Abby and Bonnie got shocked hearing that.

"What?" Bonnie asked and Abby nodded with a sad face.

"You have to stop an innocent's heart to cast the spell and make it work." Abby obviously killed someone when she did the spell. And she feels very guilty about it. I however had the perfect solution for the problem. Therefore I quipped in before the hopelessness could go any further.

"Perfect. You don't have to worry about killing anyone Bonnie and still do the spell and make it work." I said happily making the witches confused.

"How?" Both Bonnie and Abby asked at once.

"Look both Jeremy and uncle John has rings that bring them back to life every time, if killed by something supernatural. You are a witch, a supernatural being Bonnie. So if you kill anyone with the ring on, the person's gonna come back to life in no time." I said happily. Abby and Bonnie looked at each other surprised but got the idea.

"Well I think that could work. But you are gonna loose your powers Bonnie, just like me" warned Abby, still worried about it and clearly didn't want Bonnie to do this.

"That's least of my concern. But who would be willing to die even with the ring on?" asked Bonnie and I sighed out heavily.

"I will see to it, just tell me that you both are doing it." I looked at Abby particularly.

"Please, Abby we need this. We need your help." I pleaded to her because Bonnie was already convinced. Abby nodded after sometimes and so did Bonnie to reassure me.

"Great then, Bonnie, you will stay here and learn about the spell as much as you can. And no one can know where you are right now. Not even Elena, or Caroline okay. We can't let Klaus know about you. And he can easily find out about you if everyone knows. So the least people know about your whereabouts, the better." I said and Bonnie nodded her head understanding the situation.

I spent the night at Abby's place. Bonnie and Jemie are already getting close. I hoped that Bonnie would come close with her mom as well this time. Just like Caroline and Liz did. Unlike in the show, Liz still doesn't have any idea that Caroline or the Salvatore brothers are vampires. The whole chaos that Matt created before in the show along with the Sheriff, none of that is happening this time. I took in a deep breath, knowing that something at least going right. As I lay silently, I wondered what Damon must be doing at the moment. Obviously muttering curses for me and restlessly pacing in the living room and drinking his frustration away and failing miserably at it. The thought of Damon brought a smile on my face. Unknowingly I touched my lips, remembering the feeling I get when he kisses me. I wish I could be with him forever, kiss him forever. But they were nothing but wishful thinking. I sighed out heavily, feeling sad at the thought, how fast the days are passing by and how soon I would have to leave him.

Tomorrow is the decade dance in Mystic Falls high. Like many other dances, this dance is also going to be very eventful. Besides, I will be there so action is must. And if everything happens according to the show then Klaus will be there in Alaric's body. It's about time, I meet Klaus finally. I was kind of shocked at myself that when I was thinking about meeting Klaus I didn't feel any fear at all. Despite the fact that I knew what Klaus is capable of doing. I even felt fear thinking about meeting Elijah before our first time. Klaus is far more worse than Elijah but still there is no bone chilling fear at all. That's really strange. I should shiver even at the thought of facing Klaus all alone. But no, I was actually looking forward to it, eagerly. I want to meet him as soon as possible and be done with everything. Why am I rushing things? I had no idea.

In the morning I prepared to leave as planned. Bonnie and I came to Abby's house in Bonnie's car and apparently she isn't going back with me. So, I called Mason to come and pick me up. Besides, I had something to talk to him about as well. Mason arrived at the house after about two hours. I was already waiting outside the house so Mason didn't have to get out of his jeep. I hugged Bonnie before the departure from her.

"I will stay in touch with you all the time Bon. And don't forget, it's best that you don't contact with anyone else right now." I reminded her of all the warnings once again. She nodded without any protest.

"I will inform you when you have to get back to Mystic Falls." I added in the conclusion.

"Okay" said Bonnie without asking anything. It's great that Bonnie is so co-operative and not stubborn or difficult at all. Saying good byes to everyone else meaning Abby and Jamie, I got in the jeep.

"Thanks for coming Mason." I said being grateful. Mason nodded looking at me, acknowledging my gratitude.

"No, problem Jacq. But why did you call me to pick you up?" Mason asked me curiously. I knew he would ask me this question.

"I have something to talk to you about." I said. As Mason drove I explained to him the situation as much as possible. I needed him to do a job for me that only he could do at the time being. I needed Mason to find me a werewolf. A bad werewolf who does bad things to good people. Who I wouldn't feel guilty about if he dies. Who doesn't deserve to live at all. It would be a very difficult job to do and within such short time. I needed the werewolf before the next full moon and only Mason could do that in my opinion. He knows where to look for a pack of werewolves and only he could find out one bad ass wolf. Why I need an evil werewolf? Because I am going to let Klaus become a hybrid. I am going to let him do the ritual. I know it's shocking but trust me I have damn good reasons for doing that. For starter, Klaus's hybrid blood is cure for vampires from a werewolf bite. Not to mention Klaus is the originator of Damon and Stefan and many others' bloodline. He needs to be un-killable. I know there is no such word but well that's what Klaus needs to be.

"Can you do that for me?" I asked Mason after finishing the entire explanation in long version.

"I don't have much of a choice now, do I? Whether I do what you are asking me to do or me or Tyler, one of us will be sacrificed in the ritual" said Mason summing up everything. I nodded and sighed out heavily.

"So, I can count on you on this." I asked for confirmation. Mason nodded his head.

"Yes you can. But you do know that you are talking about jumping into the fire, right?" Mason asked and I nodded my head as well.

"I know Mason, but it's the only way to keep everyone safe."

Mason dropped me off at Jonas's house like I asked him to. He is back and together we have to find a way to resurrect Elijah now. Before I could knock on the door, suddenly I got a call from an unknown number. I have been dodging Damon's calls this entire time I was with Bonnie. Did he call me from another number or something? I decided to take the call in the end.

"Hello, Jacqueline speaking." I spoke up with a bit nervousness because I really didn't want to engage in a verbal fight with Damon at the moment and especially over the phone and especially in front of Jonas's main door.

"Jacq, it's me Katherine." To say that I was shocked to hear Katherine's voice would be a huge understatement. How is she calling me? Did she run away from Klaus? Questions started buzzing through my head immediately.

"Katherine, where are you? Are you okay?" I asked worriedly, overcoming my shock quickly.

"I am in Alaric's apartment right now. Klaus has taken over his body and he is roaming around the town posing as Alaric right now. I think he went to see Elena in the morning." Katherine informed me. Obviously I knew everything about that but I still had to sound shocked and worried.

"What are you calling me from?" I asked Katherine worriedly, wondering how could she mange to call me.

"I found a spare cell phone at Alaric's apartment. No one is here at the moment so I decided to call you and tell you about what is going on. I have tried to get out of here but I am trapped in this damn house right now. Klaus's warlock has put a spell on the door. He also asked me to stab myself in the legs over and over again until he returns and I am doing that just to pretend to be compelled." Katherine not only sounded angry but pissed off as well. Thankfully she sounded less scared this time. Apparently because now Katherine knows that Klaus wouldn't really kill her right away. It's sort of a relief for her. Katherine suddenly gasped.

"The warlock is coming back." She whispered over the phone.

"Don't worry Katherine, I will do something to get you out of there soon." I said assuring her confidently.

"You better hurry up" saying that Katherine hung up fast and the line went silent. I sighed to myself. I have to free Katherine from there. Not that I was worried about her safety because I knew, Klaus has no plan of killing her. But because, I don't want Katherine to stick around Klaus when I will be making a deal with him. I tucked the phone back in my jeans pocket and knocked on the door finally. Luka opened the door and I entered Jonas's house. I found him pacing in the living room restlessly. Luka went upstairs to his room rolling his eyes to himself as his father asked him to leave us alone. Jonas was worried and tensed. He looked completely devastated actually. And his face kind of lit up seeing me there.

"We have to resurrect Elijah right now. Klaus is already here in Mystic Falls." Jonas informed me. I simply nodded to him.

"Yes, Dr. Jonas it's time. I will go to the boarding house and pull out the dagger from Elijah myself." I said but suddenly a voice spoke up from behind us.

"There is no need for that." Jonas and I turned around and found Elijah standing there right in front of us. He was wearing burned up clothes and his face was too much pale as well. The lack of blood is the cause I presumed. I was both shocked and happy to see Elijah alive again. Though the original looked completely ruined and dirty at the moment and I definitely didn't want to give him a welcome back from the dead hug but I did anyway.

"Elijah!" I exclaimed happily as I pulled away from him. It was such a relief to see him back.

"Who pulled the dagger out?" asked Jonas speaking up my mind as well. Elijah entered further in the room steadily. He must be hungry like hell. How could he be so calm at the moment?

"Miss. Elena Gilbert. Apparently her witch friend failed to channel powers from the dead witches. And she knows only I can help them now. So she kindly pulled the dagger out of me and handed it over as a sign of trust. She also asked me to meet her in a while" said Elijah and he also showed us the dagger in his hand. If I remember correctly, Elena was supposed to do this stunt after the decade dance but well things are changing drastically anyway. I shouldn't be surprised by this little change of action. And thankfully Elena did that or I would have to go to the boarding house now and answer everyone's hundreds of questions. I was feeling really relieved that I wouldn't have to go back right away and face everyone.

"Klaus is already in town Elijah" spoke up Jonas tensed and panicked.

"I figured that out already since I am standing here." Elijah said like the forever calm and composed dude he is. Neither Elijah nor Jonas or anyone else but Katherine and me knew that Klaus has taken over Alaric's body for the time being and controlling it as well. Poor Alaric trapped with Klaus in his body. I hope Klaus leaves his body sooner this time.

"Klaus is using Ric's body. Katherine informed me just now." I informed them. Elijah sighed out a little.

"One of his favorite tricks. So, he already got Katerina" inquired Elijah and I nodded my head.

"Klaus couldn't know anything about Bonnie, could he?" I asked Elijah because Elena obviously told him that Bonnie failed therefore Alaric or Klaus right now would know the same thing as well.

"I don't think so. Your friends have no idea that Bonnie Bennett actually succeeded. So, Klaus wouldn't know anything about her as well. At least not from them" replied Elijah which relieved me greatly. That's exactly what I wanted. And that's what exactly Elijah and I had planned to do a long time ago.

"So, what are we gonna do now?" asked Jonas to Elijah but I answered him instead.

"Now Elijah will keep my sister and the Salvatore brothers busy while I will deal with Klaus." I said with nonchalant tone of voice. Jonas's eyes bugged out of his head hearing that.

"You know we are talking about Klaus here" said Jonas and I nodded my head vehemently. Jonas gaped at me more. He looked at Elijah but Elijah didn't speak a word about that. His silence gave away the answer that that's what our next move is. An awkward silence fell over us. I cleared my throat to break it as it was really making me uncomfortable.

"But before that, Elijah you really need to get cleaned up and changing of clothes is absolutely necessary without any doubt. It's more important than dealing with Klaus right now." Elijah smirked at me as I said that and looked at Jonas.

"May I have some clothes please?" Elijah asked politely. Jonas nodded and led Elijah inside. When they came back, Elijah was dressed in a black suit and a white shirt with a nice hair do of course. I smiled at him and gave him an impressed look.

"Now that's more like it." I said without any hesitation. Elijah was obviously flattered by my compliment as he smiled back at me more.

"Let's go shall we? Elena must be waiting for me and I am sure you have a lot of work to do yourself" said Elijah and I nodded to that. We both got out of the house. Jonas let us use his car for the day. I decided to come back to Jonas after I dropped Elijah off to where Elena asked him to meet her. I needed Jonas to free Katherine from Alaric's apartment. Once, Elijah and I got into the car, he started drinking from a blood bag. He was silently sitting next to me while I drove the car quietly. Elijah was glancing at me with concern now and then since we got in the car but I didn't ask him anything.

"Are you sure you are ready to deal with Klaus so soon?" Elijah finally asked, what he wanted to ask for a while now. I inhaled a deep breath.

"I will never be ready for that Elijah, I just have to do it... when the right time comes and it's obviously the high time for it. I can't back out now." I said with determination in my voice. Elijah stared at me for a while longer before speaking up again.

"What if he kills you right away? Before you could strike the deal with him. Klaus is not exactly a patient man and very impulsive sometimes." Elijah warned me and I sighed out heavily again. I have already thought about this possibility of course.

"Then I really need you to pray for me Elijah. Let's just hope for the best. But I have a feeling that he won't kill me right away. I will give him a reason not to." I said confidently. Elijah gave me a knowing look with a smile.

"Which will be threatening to wake up our father, I guess" said Elijah figuring it out right away. I nodded to him not denying his assumption.

"Hopefully I wouldn't have to threat him at all." I said and I really hoped for it. Elijah shook his head to himself.

"I wouldn't hope for that" stated Elijah being realistic. I sighed out knowing how very correct he is. Klaus would never agree to make a deal if I don't threaten him properly. Elijah suddenly looked at me with thankful eyes.

"Thank you Jacqueline for doing everything you are doing. I know you could take Klaus down with your witch friend's help right away without my help or anyone else but still you are doing this for me. I am very thankful to you for that" said Elijah and he really meant every word. I smiled back at him genuinely.

"I promised you your family Elijah, didn't I? I will make sure that you can spend the rest of the eternity together with your family and not be alone anymore." I said and that's another reason why I am gonna have to let Klaus become a hybrid. So that at one point of eternity, Elijah could live with his entire family including Klaus. That's exactly what I am going to do to make a deal with Klaus. I will let him become a hybrid in exchange for his family. He has to hand over the coffins to Elijah. If he doesn't agree with me then I would threaten to kill him right away or unleash Mikael on him. So, Klaus would have only two choices whether he agrees with me and becomes a hybrid or die without becoming one. What I wouldn't tell him is that, after he becomes a hybrid, with the help of Elijah and Jonas. Bonnie would come in and desiccate him for good. But that wouldn't be mentioned in the deal of course. Klaus can also never know about the bloodline thing because then he would get an upper hand on us, on me. This was the plan all along. That's what Elijah and I planned to do in our very first meeting. I will offer Klaus an opportunity to become a hybrid and in return he will have to give Elijah his family back. If he agrees without any trouble then it's good for all of us but if he doesn't agree easily then I will threaten to release Mikael and then Klaus would have no choice but to do as I say. Because he knows it very well that even if he becomes a hybrid his father can still kill him. Then once Elijah would get back the daggered body of his siblings, Klaus will be put in sleep for a long time. Elijah glanced at me determinedly.

"And I will make sure Klaus stays in a coffin for as long as your friends and families are living, just like I promised you." I nodded to him trusting Elijah completely. That's the second part of the deal that I made with Elijah. But somehow it's not a deal anymore with him. It's more like returning the favor I am doing him.

"You are a noble man Elijah. That's why I am trusting you with my life and believing in you that you would do that for me and keep my friends and family safe for the rest of their lives from Klaus or any other danger." I said and suddenly Elijah looked away from me as if angry at me. It got me really confused.

"Whether we succeed or not, you have decided the same fate for yourself. Either way you will die in this" said Elijah accusingly. I understood then that Elijah was mad because he was upset. And he was upset because he cared. He cared about me. We spent such short time together but still we cared about each other in a strange way. I inhaled a deep breath to ease my own sadness.

"I would like to die succeeding Elijah. And you have to help me in every step, like you promised me." I said with strong tone of voice. Elijah looked at me with intense eyes this time, filled with concern and care and maybe something more as well.

"Why can't you just live? Why do you have to die in the end?" questioned Elijah with a little frustration in his voice. I just gave him a small sad smile. He was really worried about me. I guess I did bond with this original very strongly. I pulled over the car as we reached our destination. I looked at Elijah with a small smile.

"I died Elijah, remember. I killed myself. I don't belong here anymore. I should be buried in a graveyard right now." I tried to make Elijah see the reasons here. That I am cheating death here and that's not a good thing.

"Yes, but you are here now. You are very much alive. You can live." Elijah insisted but I shook my head.

"But I shouldn't Elijah. If I do, the consequences would be horrible." I said truthfully. Elijah shook his head to himself sighing out heavily. I just hoped that he wouldn't let his emotions come in the way of our plan especially when I would need him to be cruel and inhuman and let me die peacefully. Elijah got ready to get out of the car.

"Don't forget to collect Elena's blood." I reminded Elijah. "And did you manage a vampire yet?" I asked him. Elijah was supposed to find a mean, evil, worth killing vampire for the ritual. It wouldn't be very hard, I guess. Because vampires are usually mean and evil. Actually the good in vampires is very less.

"That's already done. I just need to get blood from Elena" said Elijah and I nodded. He got out of the car finally. I started driving back to Jonas.

Elijah must be thinking that I am being stubborn and trying to be a martyr. But no one knows, not even Elijah who knew most of the things about my plans. But he doesn't know this little secret. Elijah doesn't know about three things yet. One that Klaus killed their mother with his own hands. And Esther never wanted any of the things we are doing now and wanted them all dead. Free the world from vampires forever in the process. Two, I am from another world and they are all a TV show characters in my world. And three is that if I refused to die in the end and not leave this world after my work here is done, then everyone who is living right now but supposed to be dead at the moment, like Pearl, Anna, Harper, Mason, Carter, Lexi and many others who didn't die because of me this time, they will eventually die again if I stay here when my time to leave will come. My presence here would be fatal to everyone then rather than be helpful. Even to them who survived in the show till the end. And I can't let that happen, not ever. That's why it's essential for me to die in the end. That's why my heart will stop beating with Klaus's in the very end.

Third Person's POV

"Elena, he is an original, you can't trust him like this. And we killed him remember, he is against us now." Stefan was like yelling at Elena for resurrecting Elijah and let him go. And moreover she was getting ready to go out and meet him.

"Klaus came into the school today and compelled someone to ask me to save the last dance for him. Do you know what that means Stefan? He is watching us and we have no idea where he is right now or how he looks like? We have nothing to kill him. If anyone can give us any solution right now that's Elijah. You have got to trust me in this." Elena tried to reason with him. Stefan finally gave in after some more arguments but was definitely not happy about it.

"We have to go to the dance tonight to find him and take him down" stated Damon sighing out heavily. He was in a bad mood since morning. He didn't hear a word from Jacq yet and he was worried as hell. And Damon was angry as well because he could do nothing but sit around and wait for her to come back. Like always, he is helpless when it comes to Jacq.

"But we don't know how to take him down Damon. That's why I need to talk to Elijah and ask him for help. Bonnie failed to connect with the witches but maybe the martin warlocks can. They would do it if Elijah asks them to do it. Wasn't that their first plan?" asked Elena out loud. Damon found logic in it but didn't say it out loud because he doubted Elijah would do anything at all to help them now. They did kill him right?

"Fine Elena if that's what you want to do then I won't stop you" said Stefan sighing out, and not liking the idea a bit.

"Thank you Stefan" saying that Elena prepared to leave. Right then the main door opened and Alaric entered the Boarding house. No one knew at that time that it's not Alaric but Klaus residing in his body. And as Klaus is using a human body, he didn't need to be invited in by Elena to enter the house.

"I am sorry I am late" said Alaric and he walked inside gracefully and closed the door behind him.

"Hey I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move." Damon blurted out right away. Alaric pretended to be shocked and surprised even though inwardly he was smirking.

"So, we find him and what? What's your plan of attack?" asked Alaric wanting to know what they had planned for Klaus meaning him. Stefan and Damon sighed out heavily.

"We have no plan. We can't attack him tonight but it won't hurt to see his face tonight" said Damon smugly.

"We don't have any plan yet. But I am sure Elijah would come up with something" spoke up Elena confidently. Alaric seemed to freeze on the spot meaning Klaus froze on the spot hearing about Elijah.

"What?" Alaric asked not believing what he just heard.

"Elena pulled the dagger out of Elijah, he is back to life now" informed Stefan hesitatingly but Klaus was tensed and angry.

"What? Why would you do that? He will kill me... I mean he will kill us all now. We killed him remember?" Burst out Alaric which seemed odd to the three of them. Ric doesn't act like that usually. He is more calm and collected than any of them.

"We don't have any other choice Ric. We have to take that risk. Elijah is our only answer against Klaus right now. And I don't think he will kill us. He wants Klaus dead himself. I just need to talk to him and ask him to help us again." Elena tried to reason with Alaric not knowing his real fears. Elijah will never let him live through the ritual. He would do anything to stop him from becoming a true hybrid. He needs to do something to get rid of him before the full moon.

"Where is the dagger?" Alaric asked Elena and she inhaled a guilty deep breath.

"I handed it over to Elijah, to prove myself trustworthy" said Elena with hesitation. Klaus wanted to rip apart Elena at the moment. Only if she wasn't the doppelganger, he would have really done that. Klaus wanted to shout and yell in frustration but that would give him away, and in this human body he shouldn't face two vampires right now. Not that it would matter much, he could always find another nice body but why go through the trouble.

"You shouldn't have done that." Alaric only said that. Coldly of course and went silent afterwards. Damon and Stefan were quite surprised to see Alaric mad at Elena above all people. But they didn't put much thought to it. They thought Alaric must be just freaked out because it's him who daggered Elijah at the dinner party. They had no idea what was going through the history teacher's mind at the moment. Klaus needed to talk to Maddox right away and find a solution about putting down Elijah. Now that he doesn't even possess the dagger anymore to kill Elijah, only magic could perhaps help him at this moment. Thinking of that, Klaus made his way back to the apartment of the pathetic history teacher. His entire plan is ruined now because of that damn doppelganger. He can't show up at the dance now. Elijah would definitely be there. He wanted to reveal himself to his precious doppelganger tonight and properly introduce himself to her but that's not gonna happen so soon now because it's better that no one knows that Klaus is in Alaric's body right now. Klaus hates it when his plans are jeopardized. And this time it's messed up big times.

Jacqueline's POV

As planned, Elijah will help keep Elena occupied with histories once she comes to meet him and Stefan would worry about her and Damon would be thinking about where I am and what I am doing at the moment? And I will be free to do what I need to do. I can't go back to my friends and family, not until I finish my work at least. Because once I will go back to them, to Damon, he would never let me go again. And I can't afford them or Damon to stop me from doing things right now. I drove up to Matt's house. Thankfully he was home alone. Matt was surprised to see me.

"Jacq, what are you doing here?" He asked confused to see me at his doorsteps.

"Matt, I need your help." I breathed out anxiously. He frowned at me with confusion.

"With what?" He asked in wonderment.

"How good are you at shooting?" I asked Matt. Half an hour later I knocked on the door of Alaric's apartment. And guess who opened the door, Klaus's trustworthy warlock Maddox. Katherine must be still inside, stabbing herself. Maddox frowned at me but I flashed him a bright smile.

"I am here to see Mr. Saltzman please. I am his student." I said nicely. He gave me a cold look as he heard that.

"He is not here, must be at school right now" saying that Maddox began to close the door on my face but I blocked it with my hands.

"Mr. Saltzman is not at school. I am coming from there. Can I please wait inside for him until he gets back? I got horrible grades in history in recent test paper and I really need to talk to him. It's a matter of life and death for me." I pleaded but Maddox sneered at me dangerously.

"Listen kid, he is not here, leave right now." The warlock threatened me. I pouted my lips and my eyes became sad immediately.

"Why are you being rude to me? You have any idea how important it is for a student to have good grades in exams. Please I won't bother you much, just let me wait for Mr. Saltzman." I pleaded with him again. Maddox glared at me furiously because obviously I was pissing him off.

"Fine come inside." saying that he opened the door for me. Maddox would definitely do something with me after taking me inside. I stepped inside the door but stopped going further, blocking the doorway and pushing the door wide open.

"Would you mind if my friend comes in too?" I asked Maddox politely, making him frown at me with confusion. I quickly sat down and Maddox was shot with three syringe full of drugs that knocked him out right away. I looked back at Matt who stood with the rifle in hands not far away from us.

"Nice shot." I said and Matt sighed out in relief. He walked up to me and looked down at Maddox's unconscious body. I had to ask Matt to do this because well Alaric is not available right now and Maddox would have sensed someone supernatural from miles away so Jonas wasn't an option. I needed an element of surprise to take down Maddox. He is quite a powerful warlock after all. It is obvious because otherwise Klaus wouldn't be keeping him around. Matt and I carried his heavy body to the couch with difficulties and dropped him there. But suddenly Matt yelped.

"Elena!" yelled Matt. I looked at him to find his eyes wide like plates and a shocked look covered his face. I looked the way he was looking and found Katherine sitting on the chair and her legs were covered in her own blood as she was stabbing herself continuously but she stopped as soon as she saw us.

"That's Katherine Matt. Elena is at the boarding house right now." I said. Matt gaped at her with open mouth.

"They look exactly alike, like twins. How is this even possible." Matt obviously didn't remember meeting Katherine before. Katherine rushed to us and looked at Maddox.

"Why don't we just kill him? It's not safe to keep him alive" stated Katherine but I shook my head.

"Klaus would need him to get out of Alaric's body remember? You have to get out before Klaus comes in here." I said to Katherine looking at the time. Klaus would arrive here any minute now.

"I can't get out. He put a spell on the door" said Katherine. I pulled out my cell phone and called Jonas and asked him to come here at the apartment. He was waiting across the street in the car.

"Don't worry, Jonas is coming to lift off the spell." I said and Katherine nodded to that.

"What do you want me to do after I get out of here?" She asked with seriousness in her voice.

"First drop Matt off his home and compel him to forget what he did. Then inform Damon and Stefan about Klaus residing in Alaric's body so that they wouldn't further share information with Ric. And don't say a word about meeting me." I said and Katherine nodded but asked me again.

"What you are gonna do now?" I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly at that.

"I am gonna wait here for Klaus. No one has given him a proper welcome in Mystic Falls yet." Katherine gaped at me hearing that.

"Are you crazy? He is going to kill you in a blink of an eye" said Katherine but I shook my head.

"Not with Ric's body, he can't kill me in a blink of an eye." I said confidently. Soon, Jonas lifted off the spell for Katherine to get out of the apartment but she kept insisting to me to come along with her.

"Katherine, I will be fine. Just take care of the men we love." I said being stubborn myself. There was no point arguing with me so she stopped asking.

"If I am still alive by the end of the day, then I will meet you at the decade dance tonight." I said and Katherine nodded then got out of the apartment, while dragging Matt with her. I checked Maddox. He isn't gonna wake up anytime soon. It's finally time that I meet with Klaus. I am sure it's going to be a very long and exciting meeting. Sweating palms, wish me luck.
