I cried when I wrote this chapter. If you guys don't like it then tell me and I

can revise it, alright? I'm talking to you Lex!

"No, no, no. You're not allowed to leave," Nik pouted. He stuck out his upper lip and crossed his arms. What a kid. I kissed his forehead and stood up.

"I'm hungry and I really don't want to be here while I am. I want to feed before Matt gets back. Now I have to go. I love you."

"Fine. I love you too." He was still pouting.

"I'll be back before you know it."

I walked through the door all too aware of the five other heartbeats in the house. Wait five? Bekah and Matt were out grocery shopping. Finn and Sage took a trip to New Orleans to check on Marcellus. Nik, Kol, Sky, and Elijah should be the only ones in the house. I flitted to Sky's room and saw her and Kol watching a movie while reclining on the bed. I flitted to the kitchen, the living room, and the bathrooms and found no sign of life. I checked all the bedrooms and found nothing. Finally I looked in Elijah's room and he was in there with a brunette bitch. They were in there talking about how they had missed each other sooo much and how much they loved each other I almost got sick listening to it. I flitted into the room, grabbed Katerina by the throat with one hand, jacking her up against the wall, and positioned my other hand to plunge it into her chest.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip your heart out of your chest and watch you bleed out on the floor."

"I-I can't breath," she stuttered.

"Give a good reason now, or so help me-" I stopped abruptly. My gaze focused on her carotid artery. I realized she was human. My smile was cruel. I let the blood run to my face. I saw my eyes reflect in hers. They were liquid gold. I lunged forward to sink my fangs in her throat and was yanked backwards. I turned and snapped but Elijah was too fast. I was in predator mode.

I turned back to Katerina and lunged again only to be yanked back once again. This time I was expecting it. I snapped right when I felt his hand. I caught his arm in my jaw and bit down hard. While he was nursing it I jumped on his back and sank my teeth deep in too his neck. I tore and tore at the large vein. My mouth was full of blood and before idealized what was happening I swallowed. I jerked my head back and jumped off.

I turned back to Katerina but she was gone. I ran through the house following her fear scent. Finally I caught up to her in my own room. I jumped forward only to stop dead at Nik's voice.

"Chris stop."

I looked at him and growled. He looked at my face curiously.

"There is not a mark on Katerina, yet you are covered in blood where did..." his eyes widened and he left the room. I followed him not realizing what was happening.

We entered Elijah's room and Nik looked at the floor. There was Elijah's body, his throat mutilated.

"Christa, what did you do?" Nik murmured as he knelt next to his brother. Suddenly there was an intense pain in my head. I screamed and fell to the floor. When it stopped it felt like I had just woken up. I looked at the ceiling and walls. This wasn't my room. I looked over and saw Nik next to me looking confused and concerned.

"How did I get in Elijah's room? Why are you looking at me like that?" It was kind of creepy if you ask me. Nik narrowed his eyes.

"Christa, tell me what you've been doing in the last fifteen minutes?" He was kidding right?

"Um I was with you, in my room, which we're not in by the way."

"There's something wrong with you. Christa, you just killed Elijah."

"No I didn't I've been sleeping!" I insisted. Nik shook his head. He looked me in the eyes.

"I want you to remember what you did."

Memories started rushing back to me. Flitting from room to room. Finding Katerina and Elijah. Finally I remembered ripping at Elijah's throat.

I felt my own throat tighten and tears poured from my eyes. I moaned and screamed and cried.

"What have I done? Is he really...?" Nik nodded. Elijah was gone forever.

"But-but I th-thought an Original couldn't be k-k-k..." I couldn't finish.

"A hybrid is a different matter all together. My brother is gone." His voice broke at the end. He dropped to his knees and shook. He was crying too I realized.

Sky and Kol walked in with Bekah, Matt, Finn, and Sage.

"No!" I was numb. I recognized the voice as Bekah.

"Oh god, what happened?" Sky.

"Its all my fault."

"What do you mean, Chris," Sky asked. I looked up at her and met her gaze.

"I killed him."

Silence.
