Klaus came back to the apartment and smiled as he saw a smile light up on Trixies face. He noticed Katherine was sitting next to her on the couch and as he started walking her way Katherine got up quickly and rushed to the other side of the room. He smiled but Trixie frowned as he sat next to her and opened the laptop on the coffee table.
"Come sit Katherine, he wont bite."
"Hard." Trixie hit Klaus's shoulder as he shrugged and smiled to her. Katherine walked over closer to Trixie and as she leaned over Klaus's shoulder to see what he was looking at she saw a girl on camera and she was struggling.
"Whos that Nik?"
"Jules. She was another wolf with that Tyler boy youre fond of."
"Oh, back up huh? What about the back up vampire?"
"Hes out there with Greta."
"Elena?" Trixie turned to Katherine as Klaus sat back and put his arm around Trixies shoulder.
"Shes with Greta too. It's almost time."
"We will be leaving soon?" Klaus nodded as Trixie laid back against him and Katherine calmed down a bit. She was not used to seeing Klaus this comfortable or this nice and as she smiled to Trixie they all froze as they heard the door opening. Everyone turned to glance at the door and Trixie growled as Klaus held her by the waist when Damon smiled and faltered a bit seeing Trixie but walked in anyways.
"I wasnt aware youd been invited in." Klaus smiled as Trixie tensed up when Damon just glared at her. Katherine took a step back and as she get behind the small half wall that separated the dinning room and living room she watched as Damon walked towards Klaus and Trixie. They stood but before Trixie could do anything Klaus gripped her wrists and held them down to her side.
"Im just here to tell you that you have to postpone the ritual. Sorry."
"Didnt we already have this conversation?" Trixie glanced to Klaus as he glared at Damon but Damon laughed and nodded.
"Yeah but that was before I rescued your werewolf and vampire."
"Excuse me?"
"Thank god." Trixie muttered and got a smirk from Klaus but a confused look from Damon as he glanced between them and started to wonder what had actually been going on the whole time she was back.
"I freed them Klaus. And you can kill me I dont care, it was all me."
"Lies? Again Damon really?" Damon glared at Trixie and as she glanced to Katherine Damon sighed and rolled his eyes.
"Look, I went and got them ok? Its over, the ritual is postponed. You cant get another vampire or wolf with this short of notice."
"Actually I can. When you have been waiting to break a curse as long as I have you come prepared. First thing, always have backups." Klaus turned the laptop around and smiled as Damon growled as he saw Jules.
"Jules, how!"
"Wolves travel in packs, sometimes as little as two but that's all I need when you are after one. I have the other hidden somewhere else."
"And the vampire?"
"My idea, he got some inmate from the jail. Thank me later."
"Thank you!" Trixie smiled as she waved her hand finally getting away from Klaus tight grip.
"I said thank me later, but your welcome."
"Why would I thank you! I thought you were on my side Trixie."
"Im on my own side! And you might not want to talk to me right now Damon!" Klaus smiled as he nodded to Katherine and she left the room, rushing to the bedroom and closing the door.
"You cant be serious! Just yesterday you were wanting to kill him more than us!"
"Yes I was, I thought I had people that trusted me and wanted me around. But I see that the only people who every really loved having me around was Nik and his family! You want him dead, me and Elijah only want our family. Now who do you think Im going to be with the most?" Damon frowned as Trixie walked towards the kitchen island and kept her back to Damon. He glared at Klaus making him shrug his shoulders before he walked around the coffee table and glared at him.
"You might need to be leaving now Damon. the ritual is going to go as planned and there is nothing you can do to stop me."
"I think I'll take that challenge."
"I have my back up vampire, my back up wolf and a witch to bring it all together. You are no longer needed nor wanted here Damon. Leave." Damon growled to Klaus as Trixie snuck up behind him. She smiled as she held a vervain dart above her chest and placed her hand on Damon's shoulder.
"Hes right Damon. Youre no longer needed." She stabbed the dart into his neck and as he fell she gripped him and drug hi to the couch. Klaus watched as Trixie frowned before she brushed Damon's wild hair back and sighed.
"You still care for him?"
"I do, somehow. He hurt me but so did you Nik. I would never wish him death, but like I said. I want my family." Klaus smiled as he walked over to her and put his arm around her waist, pulling her back to him.
"I promise I will get everyone back together after I get what I want."
"You want to be a full hybrid, I know. Lets go and get this over with." Klaus smiled as Trixie put her hand on his around her waist. Katherine walked out of the bedroom and as she saw Damon laying on the couch she gasped.
"What did you do!"
"She put him down for a bit. Thats all. She didnt harm him, he did that to himself." Trixie eyed Klaus and as she turned to glance to Damon she noticed Katherine pulling up his sleeves to check his pulse but she gasped as they saw a black and blue bite mark on his inner arm.
"What is that!"
"If Im not mistaken, Its a wolf bite. I thought I smelled the infection when he walked in."
"Can he be cured?" Klaus frowned when he looked to Trixie but nodded.
"My hybrid blood can save him, but I must change first. Now if we can be on our way, time is of the essence." Trixie nodded as Katherine whispered to her that shed take care of Damon. Trixie nodded and followed Klaus out of the apartment and down to the street. He smiled to her as he glanced up to the sky and she followed his gaze. When he held his hand out she took it and smiled herself a bit as they rushed to the quarry where the ritual awaited them.
Klaus was holding Trixies hand still as he led her through the woods and to a trail that would take them to the ritual site. He was smiling at her but he noticed that she was a bit upset still and as they got close she could hear Elena talking to Greta and Jules. The other vampire Klaus had brought in was silent and looking around out of fear as he tried to figure out what was going on. Klaus stopped them right at the clearings entrance and as Trixie glanced to him out of surprise he grinned before he rushed her towards a tree and pinned her against it.
"Nik!"
"Quite. I want you to know, that after tonight, I hope that you will stay with me and travel with me. I never wanted to hurt you, physically or mentally, and I regretted driving you to Kol from day one. I do care for you, I always have, and even at the beginning I tried to pretend that there wasnt something there that called to me but you were right Trixie. I do feel it and I know you do, you told me remember? Just always keep in your mind, that Im not as evil as I seem and please give me another chance." Klaus looked at her deep into her eyes as she sighed and bit her lip before turning her head sideways and looking out to the glow from the fires Greta had already formed. She knew he meant every word he said but she did too when she told him at the dance, when he was Ric, that the witches words rang true to her. She had two mates, him and Kol, and if they couldnt work together she was afraid of what hed do when he figured out that she would always chose Kol over him. Kol was the first to ever treat her right and as far as he would know, he would be the only unless he proved to her that he could and would learn to share.
"Nik, after tonight, your wolf side will be free. Meaning your human side will too. If you can prove to me, maybe I will consider." She smiled as he ran his nose along her jaw line and to her throat. He smiled against her neck as he kissed her, making her close her eyes, and then moved back to face her before cupping her cheek in his hand. She sighed as she placed her hand over his and watched as he looked her over carefully to make sure she wasnt lying and as she smiled he smiled as well.
"Well, lets go and finish this." She nodded as he gripped her hand and walked to the quarry, watching Elena as they got close. Klaus over heard Greta talking to Elena and as they got close Trixie snorted at Greta's words.
"My duty is to Klaus! The new order!" Klaus smiled and rolled his eyes as he walked out behind Greta with Trixie and Greta smiled to him.
"Glad to know I still have a dance partner."
"Gee thanks." Trixie smirked as Klaus rolled his eyes again and brought her around to the front of the altar Greta had set up. As Klaus stood to the side he glanced over the whole quarry and his three ingredients as Elijah had once called them. Elena glared at Trixie as she stood a bit in front of Greta and beside Klaus.
"What are you doing Trixie!"
"What? Dont give me that look."
"You were supposed to be helping us!"
"Yes, but I was doing that to get my family back. This way is easier and hurts less people."
"Hurts less people! Youre going to let him kill me!"
"Actually I only need a drop of your blood but to be totally sure, I'll drain you dry."
"Nik." Klaus looked to Trixie as she shook her head and walked over to him. He smiled at the shocked look on Elena's face as he wrapped his arm around Trixies waist and pulled her close.
"What is it love?" Trixie glanced from Elena to Klaus and then back again before she leaned into him and whispered in his ear.
"You dont have to kill her do you? Remember Damon did feed her his blood. We dont want a vampire Elena running around do we?" Klaus shook his head as he smiled to Elena and shrugged.
"For you love, I guess I could just take a bit. Unless Greta could do something about that little bump in the road."
"Sir?" Greta turned to Klaus and as he smiled to her Trixie stayed where she was when he walked over to talk to her. Trixie found Elenas eyes, watery and blood shot from crying, as she frowned and walked closer to the fire circle she was being held in. The flames rose high as she got close and Greta hissed at her warning her. Trixie walked over to Elena and as she got about four feet from the fire she sighed and watched as Elena glared at her.
"I cant believe you! I thought you wanted him dead!"
"I did Elena. I thought I did, I dont know!"
"What about Elijah!"
"he would understand. Everything for family. I want Kol back, he promised to give him back and if this is what it takes for him to have some humanity back in himself then Im going to do my best to help him. You would help Damon no matter how many people hes killed or who hes back stabbed why cant I?"
"because Damon and Stefan arent the enemy!"
"Really! What defines an enemy Elena? Right now I could call you that! You are trying to stop me from saving my family and my friends. Doesnt that make you an enemy?" Elena glared and huffed as she turned to walk away. Trixie yelled at her not to turn her back on her but Elena stuck her tongue out at her as if she was a child. Trixie growled as she went to walk towards her and the flames Greta put around her grew higher.
"Careful love, dont get burned." Trixie glared at Klaus and then back to Elena who was watching her with a smug smile on her face before Trixie growled and threw her hands down to her side and covered her whole body in a bright blue flame. She walked right through the fire ring Greta had put up without any harm and as she stepped on the ground she left behind frozen grass. Greta whistled as she turned to Klaus.
"Shes a tough witch. She should be the one doing this not me."
"Why do you say that?"
"Look at her power. She could easily complete the spell without draining herself. Shes got the skill and she seems to want to help you." Klaus nodded as he watched Trixie fussing with Elena but before he could go and talk to her himself he heard someone walking nearby and frowned.
"Well, this is unwelcomed." Elena glanced to Klaus as he vanished and Trixie pinpointed him up on the high ridge near Stefan.
"Your boyfriend has come to save you. He might just wind up getting his ass handed to him though."
"You dont care!"
"I do care Elena! I care a lot about him and you even though you dont know it! Why! because he cares about you and you do remind me of Katherine. I had hoped that when I met you we could be friends but I see the way you play them against each other. I had prayed when I found Damon again that we would have another chance, Kat was gone anyways, but yet again you came between me and him. Why do you feel the need to take and take from others when you dont deserve anything yourself anyways? You take the happiness from Caroline about cheer-leading, you take the spotlight from Bonnie when shes found out something cool about herself and you take your brothers memory when you dont want him to remember what he should already know. Why do you get to take and take yet when someone else does it they are in the wrong?"
"because! I am not trying to get what I want by letting the monster win!" Trixie glared right at Elena as she quickly threw her hands over her mouth and stared wide eyed and shocked at Trixie. She glanced up to Klaus and Stefan as they were still talking but as she saw Klaus shaking his head and heard him fusing with Stefan she sighed. She knew Elena was half right but Klaus wasnt a monster, none of them were, yet Elena wouldnt believe her until she proved her wrong.
"Hes not a monster Elena."
"He is. he is going to kill all three of us just to break a cure on himself. A bit selfish dont you think? Hes a vampire anyways, hes a monster."
"So all vampires are monsters?"
"NO! Hes not just a vampire, sorry. Hes a half breed and...Oh god!" She shut her mouth as Trixie sighed and knew exactly what she was going to say but before she could do anything Klaus was walking close to the ring of fire and smiling as he held his hand out to Trixie.
"Darling, its time." She glared at Elena as she walked over to Klaus and took his hand, sending Elena a look of utter disgust.
"If hes a monster than so am I. We all are apparently according to you and if you hate monsters Elena, better be careful with who you let lay down with you at night. One day they might not let you get up."
"Trixie." She shook her head as Klaus wrapped his arm around her waist and took her to the altar and smiled to Greta.
"Would you like to do the honors Trixie?" She glanced to Greta and as she turned to Klaus he smiled to her. Could she do it? Could she break the curse for Klaus and let his wolf side free, which in turn lets his human side free? Could she stand there an watch him drain Elena or worse, get killed if Elijah didnt listen to her? She glanced back to Elena who was now on her knees and near the edge of her ring staring at Stefan who was on the ground with a stick in his back. She sighed, Klaus wasnt to gentle with him when he got mad, but as she smiled to Klaus she shook her head.
"Yes. I would be honored to help." Klaus smiled as Stefan and Elena glanced straight to Trixie and they both shook their heads no as Klaus brought out the moonstone and handed it to Trixie. She smiled as she felt the power coming off of the stone and then put it in the bowl at the altar. Greta pointed out the spell in the book that she had on the side and as Trixie started the chant she caught the worried look of Elena as Greta brought down her ring around Jules. Klaus smiled as he licked his lips and went for the first ingredient.
