I do not own TVD or TO. I own Sara and the heartache and joy the come along with her.

I apologize for this chapter.

Love y'all.

Chapter 15

The three remaining Originals moved into the study with the witch. They each donated a vial of blood and she labeled them. "So which car out there is yours, my dear?" Kol asked her trying to break the tension.

"Both." Sarafina winked at Kol. Her eyes strayed to Elijah and she smiled. They'd shared many things on the ride. Elijah had agreed to her plan for the spell. He knew all the steps it entailed and he didn't feel the need to watch her every movement, but he stood close to her anyways. He enjoyed being able to gaze upon her. He found the raven haired witch exquisite. He found that he was quickly falling in love with the little wrinkle between her eyebrows she only had when she focused.

"You weren't lying, you came together?" Kol asked, glancing at his older brother. The protectiveness in his voice and how he stepped closer to her was evident to them all.

She shrugged and pushed him away playfully. "Sexy over there was in the same city and I have fast cars."

"That they were." Elijah spoke. "I had intended to inquire. Are they spelled for more than 'stealth'?"

"Yea, my cars all have at least one spell on them. I don't like when they rust or wear out, but some of them can fly." She was laying out a large parchment on the table. She motioned for Elijah to come over and she took a step aways from the table. "My bike can teleport, its pretty much impossible to do with any thing as big as a car." Elijah proceeded to write all of the siblings names in Runic evenly around the paper. "Some can drive on water. Those two have perfect engines, which is why they go so fast. No system in the world is 100 percent efficient, but they are." She looked up to Kol and Klaus. "By stealth he meant they make no noise and can't be seen if they're exceeding the speed limit."

Klaus looked really impressed. He wasn't used to witches playing with modern technology. He didn't think they could. As he thought about it, he realized it was because they were chained to their grimoires. Kol just looked at her like he couldn't be more proud of her.

"Where did you find such spells?" He could already guess, but wanted to know for sure.

She smirked at the hybrid and noticed Elijah was finished. She took the pen and wrote her full name in the middle, Sarafina Lilian Salvatore. "I write my own spells. They're stronger when you invent them."

A scream broke the atmosphere of the room. Sara froze and Kol moved to hold her against him. Her heart cracked. She knew that voice, it was her father.

"I wouldn't let it bother you, love." Klaus said to her.

Her head wiped towards his stupid smirk. "Well it does bother me. I am doing your family a favour and my father is being tortured in the next room. Do you want me to unlink you? Or should I just kill one and watch the rest fall?"

Elijah moved in front of her. She was slightly struggling against Kol. The noble one placed his hands on either side of her face and made her look at him. "You're helping us, I'll make sure he is not tortured further." He kissed her forehead and fled the room.

She nodded to Kol to release her and turned back to the task at hand. Sara placed her hand above Rebekah's name, saying her name and then moved around to each of the others, ascending by age. Her hand made the shape of a star. She took the vials of blood and mixed them in a chalice descending in age. Then she poured them on her name.

As she chanted, a pool moved toward Rebekah's name, and she got a flash of Rebekah standing in front of her father. He was hanging from the ceilings head bowed and bloody. She gritted her teeth and relaxed when the blood and images moved on the Kol. She grew irritated when it turned to Niklaus, as from his side she could see clearly down her cleavage, and he was clearly looking there as well. Her heart lightened with Elijah, because she saw him stopping Rebekah.

She gasped loudly and spoke the chant faster when she reached Finn. She saw him choking on vervain and saw his eyes catch Stefan walking out of The Grill. The candle flared and died. "Elijah! Rebekah!" She screamed. Within a couple seconds the four Originals were surrounding her. "Quickly, get Finn's blood on your hands and touch me."

Elijah and Kol did not hesitate. Kol was standing behind her, so he stood flush against her back and placed his hand on her stomach. Elijah stood to her left and placed his hand on her left shoulder. She noticed the other two hesitate. "He's going to die if you don't, so would you just fucking do it!" She screamed at the other two. Rebekah hurried to comply and placed her hand on the girls outstretched left hand. Niklaus moved to her right and placed his hand around her throat, earning a shocked look from Rebekah and very angry glares from his two brother.

Sara placed her hand in Finn's blood as it caught fire. Her screams quickly subsided and she started chanting. She saw Elena burst from the door cross bow in hand. Finn was shot. Sara screamed the words to the spell as pain ripped through her, but she somehow never faltered in her chanting.

Kol's grip tightened when he felt blood run down onto his arm. His other arm wrapped around her when he felt more blood flowing and heard her scream again. Matt had rammed a white oak steak into Finn's chest. Klaus noticed the blood and went to move his hand from her neck.

"Don't." She chocked out. "Don't break contact." Her hand was turning grey and veins were crawling up her arm. "Other hand. My blood. Contact." She proceeded to chant while they did as she demanded. Both of Elijah's hands were on her shoulder and upper arm. Rebekah's gripped both sides of her hand and Klaus hand slid so they were supporting her head. Kol remained tightly wrapped around her.

She took a deep breath and ceased chanting. They were all staring at her expectantly. Sara didn't stop bleeding and her arm was completely desiccated. "Kol, without breaking contact I need you to pull my phone out of my front right pocket and dial Sage." When he didn't move right away she continued. "You're left arm is covered in my blood, your elbow can remain in contact and it will work. I've suspended and linked Finn with myself. He's pulling from my life force. He's basically dead, she needs to get him back here, now."

Kol quickly did what she said and Rebekah started sobbing. Her friend and brother were both going to die. Sage didn't answer on the first call. They tried again.

"WHAT?" She screamed.

Sara's voice was barely a whisper when she answered, "Get him home now. I can save him."

It surprised everyone when Klaus screamed into the phone, "HURRY!"

They hung up and waited. Kol was holding up Sara's weight, and was doing his best not to cry. His face was buried in her shoulder. The vampires could hear Damon downstairs trying to get out of the shackles, screaming and crying. He'd obviously heard what was going on. Sara must have heard something 'cause she muttered in Latin.

A few moments later her father was standing in front of them with earth shattering pain on his face. He moved to pull her away when she spoke. "If you break the contact I die." She was lying and the only one that seemed to pick up on it was Klaus. She wouldn't let Finn die just to save her life. Damon moved in front of her. He kissed her forehead.

"They're here." Klaus said. Within seconds Sage, looking unwell, burst into the room with a desiccated Finn in her arms.

They all waited for her to speak. She didn't appear capable of it and their panic rose. "Pull from me." Kol spoke in her ear. He would have fed her blood, but it was a blood spell. He didn't know what doing that would do.

She did as he said and started to channel him. The blood flow lessened and she regained some strength, but nowhere near enough. "If you need it, you may have my strength as well." Elijah added.

Rebekah quickly nodded at her, because she was unable to speak between sobs. Damon went to add contact to her body, so she could pull from him, but didn't when Klaus spoke. "To save my brother." That was all the confirmation she needed. She was weakly channelling four Originals and had enough strength to mostly stand on her own. The power felt incredible and the bleeding had stopped. Due to the amount of blood she'd lost and the still open wound, she knew the next couple minutes would be tight.

She lifted her stiff arm, Finn's blood dripped. "Keep contact, 'til I say." She moved them all, very slowly, to Finn. She didn't want them letting go for any reason. She was going to ask her father to do the next part, but knew he'd be incapable.

Sarafina Salvatore stood over Finn. He was on a table, but her arms were extended over his body. Rebekah stood beside his head on one side and she was on the other. Elijah was at the top of his head. Kol was behind her and Klaus was to her right. "Sage, the knife on the table." Sage quickly grabbed it. She would have hesitated if anyone else had asked, but not Sara. Sage now stood beside Rebekah. They made eye contact and the witch conveyed how bad this next part was going to be. Her eyes directed Sage to her undessicated wrist, that was conveniently placed above Finn's mouth.

Everyone seemed oblivious to the silent exchange going on. It was probably a good thing, or someone would have stopped them. "Let go." They quickly complied, but no one moved far. "Do it." She said and, quick as possible, Sage slashed her wrist open and placed it over Finn's mouth.

The moment they'd let her go, she slumped forward and blood started pouring out of her. Now it was all much worse. Rebekah screamed. Klaus stared at the girl's wrist in utter shock. Kol dove across the table and tackled Sage. Elijah moved to restrain his brother. Damon, however, let out a blood curdling scream. It was the sound of someone's soul being torn to shreds. He caught his daughter, and cradled her as she fell to the ground.

Within seconds Finn, sat up gasping. This seemed to break Klaus of his state, as he quickly bit into both of his wrists. One he covered the girl's mouth with and the other he pressed against her chest. Damon caught on to what he was doing and bit into his own. He placed one on her wrist and the other on her stomach.

The entire room was waiting.

Sage wrapped her arms around her love. The joy of having him back, was quickly overshadowed, when she noticed everyone around them. She was hit by the fact that to save her love, her friend has sacrificed herself. She immediately started crying.

Rebekah was sobbing and shaking. She'd lost a friend. She may not have known the girl long, but in that time she'd already grown to love her. No one ever even defended her or her family. This girl had died for them.

Elijah moved to hold on to his youngest sibling. Tears spilled down his cheeks, not just for himself, but for his family. As well as for the sacrifice she'd made for them. He cried for the Salvatores, for the loss they'd never survive. This girl on the ground was someone he felt connected too. With time, he knew, he'd fall in love with her. It had already begun. Even with the evidence plainly before his eyes, his heart refused to believe she was anything but alright.

Kol's voice was barely a whisper as he repeated one word. "Please." He couldn't loose her, not again. No one knew this, but when he was awakened and after the anger with his brother and the shock at seeing his mother had dissipated, he'd cried. He'd cried deep in the forest, for hours, over the lose of the one person that loved him unconditionally. The one person he loved and he knew loved him without reservation. He couldn't go through that again. Seeing her at the ball had felt like a dream, the best dream he'd ever had.

Klaus silently begged the gods to keep her alive. He didn't think his family would survive the loss. He knew for a fact that she'd done more for them in the past couple weeks than anyone had done in centuries. She was bringing them together and he had thought one day they'd grow to be friends. She saw through him and no matter how much it irritated him, he'd miss that. Niklaus did not want to lose this girl in front of him. The world would be forever darkened without her on it to light the way.

Finn's eyes roamed the room, wondering what happened, before falling on the very bloody witch. His eyes glistened with tears. She'd been the first person to make him feel hope for his family, hope for himself. She'd reunited him with his love and stopped him from killing his family. Sarafina was the best thing to ever happen to him. He owed her his life, yet she'd given hers for him and this broke him. He wished she hadn't. She deserved life more than he did. Sarafina Salvatore was the kindest, most giving and selfless he'd met in his life. He would bargain with Satan himself to save her, as she had saved him.

Damon was the most destroyed of all. He just kept muttering her name. He was rocking back and forth, with his arms tight around her. He felt so much pain he couldn't breath, he couldn't feel. It felt as if everything inside of himself had been ripped to pieces and put through a blender. There was nothing left. He was a mess on a floor in a pitch black room. He watched her fall and her breathing drop. With every laboured breath that left her, he left the world.

"Finn." Kol croaked. All the Originals and Sage turned their gazes towards him. Damon was too far gone to even hear him. "Finn's blood." His eyes met his eldest brother. "She linked you. Please. Try." He was shaking trying to hold the sobs of despair that were just under the surface.

Finn jumped off the table and ripped into his wrist. There was nothing gentle about the act, it was savage and desperate. He moved to take Klaus' place. Damon tried to shoved him off. "No!" He screamed at the eldest sibling.

Kol pinned the father's arms behind him and pulled the broken man away from his daughter. Damon did not stop struggling. "Stop!" Kol yelled at him.

Finn placed his hand over her mouth and the other against her chest. "Please Sarafina. We need you." He whispered to her. Her skin slowly started to mend itself and her throat moved lazily. With colossal effort, she swallowed.

Damon was still thrashing and screaming. Elijah rushed in front of him. "LOOK!" He screamed in the man's face. Damon looked down at his daughter and watched her reach up and grip Finn's arm tightly. The siblings breathed a sigh of relief and those that had been crying wiped their faces. Damon rushed over and wrapped his arms around his daughter. Her wounds were healed so he felt justified ripping her from Finn.

"Sara." He cried into her hair, kissing the top of her head.

I'm so sorry. This chapter made me cry, how about you? I sort of have a love-hate relationship with this chapter.

It enhances the relationships so much. Plus, I hope it helped everyone see kind of what the Originals thought of her. I love how much she cares for other people. The whole Scooby Gang was always way to willing to kill the Originals, even though they themselves had done some pretty atrocious things.

They killed Finn! The most innocent one of them all. Like seriously, he was in a box for 900 years. He died because of a happenstance of birth. Just like why Klaus sacrificed Elena. Such hypocrisy.

Sorry, mini rant over.

Let me know what you think/how you feel bout that? And about the chapter?

Much love,
