Chapter 12

Elena, Stefan, Damon and I were at the Salvatore house.

Klaus has been gone for a few days and now we're trying to come up with a plan to lure him back to Mystic Falls.

"Aye- let's say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her, so he could use her as bait." Stefan suggested.

"And you what? Vervained him?" Elena questioned.

"No! WE vervained him! This guy is an original. To make it realistic." Damon argued.

"O.k. fine. We vervained him.", Stefan rolled his eyes, "And in the process discovered that he had a dagger."

Elena smiled at the plan. "Which he planned to use on Rebekah, but instead..."

"We drove it through his heart." I nodded.

"And what happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?" Elena asked.

"Good point! You my brother have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So the idea is to lure him back here and kill him- last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue-tied." Damon cocked an eyebrow.

Stefan held up his hands defensively. "Well, don't look at me I am just in charge of getting him back here."

"Klaus is smart, if we tell him that Mikael is dead, he'll want proof." I stated.

"Then I shall be dead." Mikael announced as he walked inside the room.

"What if he wants to see you in person?" Elena asks him.

"Well that means our plan is working. Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here- and I will kill him." Mikael confirmed.

"With what? Those daggers won't work on him." I answered crossing my arms over my chest.

"Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree. The one that left these ashes when it burned." Mikael said.

"Where is it?" Stefan asked.

"Not here. The knowing of its location is my insurance policy." Mikael affirmed firmly.

"Against what?" Stefan hissed.

"You leaving this in my heart. You see, a vampire can't dagger an original without dying. So- it falls to one of you.", Mikael says before he hands over the dagger to Elena.

"Y- You want me to actually dagger you?" Elena asks, shocked and surprised, as she took the dagger out off his hands.

"Oh, give me that!" I said as I snatched the dagger out of my twin's hands.

I turned to Mikael and daggered him.

Stefan calls Klaus.

"Your father is dead." Stefan announced. There was a silence and then Stefan spoke again. "Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father and not dead. Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?" Stefan questioned.

I assumed that Klaus then asked Stefan what happened and he fed him the lie about him going after Rebekah and I.

"Well, he is here. Come by whenever." Stefan shrugged. Klaus answered something and Stefan remembered watching me dagger Mikael. "It's true. I saw it with my own eyes."

Then Stefan looked at Rebekah. "That's not a problem. She is right here." he replied before handing over the phone to Rebekah.

"Hello, Nik." Rebekah's voice was small, but full with confidence at the same time. "It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good.", She paused, "I miss you. I'm miserable here." Klaus says something and Rebekah replies, "Good. I'll see you then, brother.", Rebekah hangs up the phone and turns to the others, "He bought it. He's coming home."

"Now- was that easy or what?" Damon smirked.

"Let's just get this over with." Elena says before she pulls the dagger out of Mikael's chest.

Elena stayed home, and I went to the Homecoming with Katerina and Matt.

Katerina was posing as Elena.

Let's hope Klaus buys it.

Kat and I were talking when Klaus approached us. "Where are your dates?"

"I don't have one." I announced.

"Mine's getting me a drink." Katerina replied trying to sound confident.

Klaus offers her his drink.

She rejects it and he turns to me. "Well, seems I have you to thank for Mikael`s demise."

"Well, he came at me," I shrugged, "I didn't have a choice."

"Still I'm impressed. It's not easy for a human to dagger an Original."

"He didn't put much of a fight." I smirked.

Klaus chuckled before turning to Katerina. "You seem nervous."

"I'm not nervous," she lied, "I just don't like you."

"Let's get straight to the point then, shall I, love? People have been after me for 1,000 years. And I am always one step ahead. So whatever it is you're thinking of trying, go for it, give it your best shot. You won't succeed." Klaus warned.

Well, at the end of the day, out plan didn't work.

Klaus ended up killing Mikael.

And it was all because Stefan blew it.

But one good thing happened.

Klaus freed Stefan of his compulsion.

Let's just hope we can find another way to kill Klaus.

Cause if we don't, we're pretty much screwed.
