By the way while Klaus is in Alaric's body I'm going to refer to him as 'Alaric but just when he is with people who don't know he is really Klaus

Sorry this took so long, I had exams this week and still have a Spanish one tomorrow and a maths mock on Thursday, so please be patient for the next chapter as I have more exams in 2 weeks.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed and followed. :) still need to know what you guys think I should do for the episode after this one ;)

Well on to the story.

The Last Dance PT 1

Alaric's apartment

Klaus who is Alaric's body walks over to the closet in Alaric's apartment and pulls out two shirts, while Katherine is tied to a chair.

"Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" Klaus asked rhetorically , wondering why anyone would buy a as ugly as these. He showed Katherine the shirts and asked "Ok, bad, or badder?" putting each shirt in front of his torso as he referred to them.

"The dark colours suit you better." Katherine advised.

"Oh, thank you, honey. Ok, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatore's possession, correct?" Klaus started.

"The dagger was used to kill Elijah. You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house." Katherine confessed.

Klaus seemed to ponder on the fact that his brother is sort of dead before saying "Ok, that dagger needs to stay exactly where it is. The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah. Ohh, that guy is a buzzkill."

"Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna." Katherine continued to feed him the information.

"Right. Elena's aunt. For all the lies about Isobel. What else?" Klaus asked as he continued to get dressed

"That's it." Katherine said, she wasn't sure whether or not she should tell him about Thalia, it didn't seem important, but Stefan did call her to help.

Klaus got closer to Katherine and touched her face, she flinched at the touch, and he looked into her scarred eyes.

"Oh, so jumpy." He mocked her.

"Please, just... kill me. I've told you everything that I know." She whimpered.

"You see, I believe that you believe that, but what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything? Tell me." As he said this he did what he did so many times, he compelled her to tell him what else there was to know. Every time he compelled someone it reminded him of the time he compelled Thalia and how bad he felt after doing so, he still isn't sure why he felt that way and every time he was reminded of that he felt a pain inside him, one that he has never felt before he met Thalia.

"They were trying to see if Bonnie could find a way to kill an Original without a dagger." Katherine said even though she fought with herself not to tell him anything else, it was pulled out of her.

"Bonnie the best friend? I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore." He questioned her.

"She doesn't or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember? I'm kinda out of the loop." Katherine answered, with a roll of her eyes.

"Well, we'll have to get to the bottom of that. Anything else." He looked towards her expectantly.

She tried not to tell him, if she couldn't win with her way she wanted at least for Stefan to win but he compelled her which eventually got her to tell him. "Stefan called a friend for help."

"Who?" He continued to look at her with Alaric's warm eyes but deep inside she knew they were Klaus's cold and calculating eyes.

"I don't know much about her, only her name..." Katherine started she took a pause and looked away from his eyes. "Her name is Thalia that's all I know." When she looked back at Klaus his posture changed. That's weird he seems sort of... tense.

While Klaus may have been tense he still had a cocky smile that he had before, it may have just changed in size, but if you were to look inside him you would know of the internal war going on inside him. What if it's her? No it couldn't be. What are the odds that would happen? But what if it is her? (his heart seemed to jump at the chance to seeing her again, though he wasn't sure why)This carried on until Katherine interrupted his thoughts. "Please, just kill me, Klaus, and be done with it."

His posture changed again to a more mocking one. "And show you kindness? I've searched for you for over 500 years. Your death is going to last at least half that long." He then took a small knife from his pocket and extend his arm toward her so she could take the knife, when she didn't he commanded her to take the knife, when she did he commanded a second time. "And stab yourself." She then did as she was told and stabbed her thigh, she gasped out in pain to which brought the cocky smile back to his face.

He then got his poker face back and said. "Now take it out."

As soon as she takes the blade away from her flesh, her wound starts to heal itself.

"Now while I'm gone, I want you to do that over and over and over again and if you get bored, switch legs."

"Where are you going?" Katherine asked, already thinking of a way out of this mess.

"I'm gonna go lay eyes on my precious doppelgänger." He once again moves toward her, but this time he kisses her forehead. When he pulled back she had a disgusted look on her face. "Oh, don't look so glum, Katerina. The fun is just beginning. Again." He then left leaving Katherine starring as he left, glaring at the door. Once he left the apartment she stabbed herself again.

Salvatore's house

While Elena and bonnie were inside the house signing papers in order for Elena to own the estate, Stefan, Damon and Thalia are outside waiting for the girls to be finished.

"You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" Damon asked, Thalia also leaned towards Stefan, wondering the same thing.

"She said she could channel enough witch's power to kill him. Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so…" Stefan explained.

"We just need to find him." Damon concluded.

"Yeah." Stefan sighed.

"Could she do one of those witch tracking spells?" Damon once again broke the silence.

"Nope. Not without something that belongs to Klaus. Believe me, I already asked." Stefan added.

"Do you think he killed her?" Damon asked, yet again. Stefan looked at him, knowing full well of who he was talking about, he thought it over for a while before answering him. "Katherine? Probably." He said nodding.

"It's not like she didn't have it coming." Damon finished.

While the brothers were talking of their past lover Thalia's mind had gone elsewhere, to her dreams, a very recent one, of a man she had never met before, but she swore she had seen him before, as felt very close to said man, as if she could tell him all her secrets she has never told anyone (not even Annabeth).

-this is the first dream scene guys it's going to be a sort future thing, cause you guys know demigods have those dreams, plus Thalia's remembering Klaus yay-

I was out on a balcony, it was night time, so I decided to look at the stars. There was music playing in the background, the kind you would you would use for a ball. I was wearing a ball gown sort of dress, it was black, and very long, so long that the edges were dragging on the floor. I was just looking up at Zoe's constellation when I felt a presence behind me, I didn't look back, and I seemed to know exactly who it was, even before they spoke.

"The stars are beautiful tonight aren't they?" he asked, his voice sent chills down my spine, though I don't know why. His voice was familiar but I couldn't place it. "Yes they are" I said, but I had no control of what I was saying.

The man moved towards me until he was standing next to me, leaning on the ledge, the same as I. I turned towards him, in doing so some of my hair, which I only noticed now was up in a tight bun, fell in my face, he reached towards me and placed the stray strand back behind my ear where it belonged. We stared at each other for a while, then we locked eyes, his eyes were warm and comforting, and I felt as I could stare at them for the rest of my life, and never get tired of looking into those blue orbs. I then gently shook my head and looked back at the stars, I could see out the corner of my eye he too turned back to the star.

That was when she woke up.

What the Hades kind of dream was that? She thought, and why was a wearing a dress? These thoughts continued until she heard the door opening to see Elena letting out an older man before saying. "Thank you, Mr. Henry." She then turned back and the boys went to follow her inside that is until they get forced back by some invisible force that enables them from getting in the house.

"I'm sorry. I completely forgot." Elena apologized, only remembering now about having to invite them in first. She turned to Stefan. "Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house?"

"I would love to. Thank you." Stefan then walked through the door and into the house. Elena then turned to Damon.

"What are we, 12?" Damon asked.

"One of us is. If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?" Elena reasoned.

"No." Damon simply said with a monotone voice.

"Seriously, Damon. My way. You promised. I call the shots. No lies, no secret agendas. Remember?"

"Yes, Elena. Sure." Damon gave in.

Elena then smiled, and responded with, "Then please, come in."

Damon entered the house and looked at Stefan, who was smirking at him. "Shut up."

Thalia, smiling walked in after the boys, to see Bonnie and Elena getting ready for school.

Stefan completely confused by this situation asked. "Wait, where are you going?"

"To school." Elena simply answered.

Stefan, still confused replied with "Huh?" and moved towards her.

"No, no, no. We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it." Damon completely disagreed.

"Yeah, guys, Klaus is out there. We know that." Stefan agreed.

"But she won't have any freedom" Thalia countered with.

"I don't care about that, the only thing I care about is that she is safe, and that happens to be right here. And like Stefan said Klaus is out there!" Damon nearly yelled.

"Right. But where? No one knows. Look, I really appreciate what you guys are doing. And I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that I'll be safe here, but I'm not going to be a prisoner, like Thalia said I wouldn't have any freedom." She looked at Damon. He soon gave in and said, "Your way, Elena."

"Don't worry, I'm ready. If he shows his face, I can take him. Know how." Bonnie said confidently.

"The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be. Come on." Elena then rushed out the door before either of the boys could change their minds, with Bonnie rushing behind her. Just before they're out the door Stefan calls out to them. "Wait, um, coming." He then left with them.

Damon then turned to Thalia and asked "what do you want to do today?"

Thalia pondered on what to do until she came to a conclusion "Well I'm hungry" Damon scoffed and then replied with, "You're always hungry."

"So?" Thalia shrugged.

"Come on. Let's go to the Grill" Damon soon gave in.

"Only if you're paying." They then walked out the house and Damon drove them to the grill.

Once there they sat at a table and ordered their food Damon started a conversation. "So, Where are you from?"

"Originally, LA, but ... I moved around quite a lot when I was younger, then I stayed in Long island for a couple of years, then I finally moved to Manhattan, and that's where I've been living for about a year or so.." Thalia answered. Damon nodded at the end of her little speech. –hey guys the whole thing with staying in Long island is that after quitting the hunters Thalia went back to camp, and when she turned 18 ish she moved into her own apartment (just in case you didn't understand)-

They ate their meal in silence after that, until Damon asked, "When did you meet Stefan?" Thalia then went to explain how she met him during one of his dark times, and helped get back on his feet.

Salvatore's house time skip to after school

After finding out Klaus was going to be at the dance, Elena started to panic, she was still panicking when she got back home. Stefan, Damon, Bonnie, Elena and Thalia were all in the living trying to figure out a plan for the dance.

"So we go to the dance, we find him." Damon said as if the problem was just magically solved.

"Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like." Stefan angrily replied.

"Something tells me he's not going to be 16 and pimply." Damon remarked.

"He could be anywhere at any time. He compelled somebody at school." Stefan shot back.

"I have a feeling he can do much more..." Thalia said quietly.

Stefan then looked at Elena and bonnie, "I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" before either of them could reply there was a knock on the door, all heads turned towards the door, and in came Alaric, or at least who they thought was Alaric.

"There you are." Damon announced.

"Sorry I'm late." 'Alaric' apologised.

"Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move." Damon explained.

Klaus would have answered but he noticed a girl in the background, a small girl, with spiky black hair that reached her shoulders. She was wearing some storm grey, skinny jeans with rips at the knees and a chain hanging from two of her belt loops. She had on a baggy, black tank top with GREEN DAY written across it in bold, red letters. She had a spray of freckles across her nose and cheeks. Dark, heavy eyeliner, which made her already bright eyes stand out even more. Oh, her eyes. They haven't changed a bit. He thought. Yes this was defiantly the 5 year old Thalia I used to 'take care of'. He was so caught up in his thoughts he didn't realise the conversation was still going on.

"Me. I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him." Bonnie boldly announced.

"That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around." 'Alaric' added carefully wanting to find out how much power this with had, though it was hard since his eyes didn't want to look at the people taking part in this conversation, they wanted to look at the small, pale girl leaning against the sofa, looking very concentrated in this topic.

"Alaric has a point. I mean, what if he..." Damon started before he rushed over to Bonnie, but she throws him to the other side of the room with her powers.

"Well, I was impressed." Stefan admitted, even Klaus had to agree with him on that.

"It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can kill him, Elena. I know I can." Bonnie tried to sound as convincing as possible.

"Well ok, looks like we're gonna have to dress up." Elena announced, "That also means you Thalia." Thalia looked up at Elena when that was said, "What, why?" she asked.

"it's a 60s themed dance, Thalia you have to dress up." Elena told her. Defeated, Thalia let Elena lead her up the stairs to find something to wear.

Klaus just went on staring at Thalia as she walked up the stairs glumly, he was slightly amused by the child-like behaviour.
