A/N: This is the second chapter of my two-chapter update. [Continue] [e]njoy[ing]!
When Klaus and Alyssa arrived in Mystic Falls, they saw that the same people they had seen earlier on Wickery Bridge standing in the Mystic Falls Cemetery. Silas had disappeared and Elena was standing facing Klaus and Alyssa, as well as Connor, Ryan, Kol and Violet. Vaughn was standing behind Elena, pinning her arms behind her back. Connor held a wooden stake in one hand and he was arguing with Kol.
"You can go find Caroline. I'll deal with this," Alyssa told Klaus without taking her eyes off of the group of people in front of them. Klaus went without argument, knowing that Alyssa could handle whatever was going on in the cemetery by herself.
"Connor, give me the stake," Alyssa said. Connor spun around to face her.
"No, I finally have my chance for revenge now," he said.
"I know, but you're better than this," Alyssa said.
"Am I?" Connor asked. When Alyssa didn't say anything, he lunged forward to stake Elena. Alyssa quickly moved in front of Elena to block his way.
"Alyssa, move out of the way," Connor growled.
"Connor, she's my friend," Alyssa said.
"I don't care. She killed me," Connor grumbled rather childishly for a grown man.
"Connor—" Alyssa began to say. Connor interrupted her by whipping out a wickedly sharp-looking dagger.
"I will kill you if you don't get out of my way, Lyssa," he said threateningly.
"No you won't," a different voice said from behind Connor. He spun around and came face to face with Alyssa's older brother, who looked very, very angry. Connor hesitated for a second at the sight of Derek, but the dagger that he held remained steady in his hand.
"I will kill both of you if you two don't let me do my job," Connor told the siblings.
"No you won't," Derek said as his blue eyes, which were the same shade as Alyssa's, darkened with anger. Connor found himself being hit with two equally powerful brain aneurysms at the same time, no doubt caused by Derek and Alyssa, whom he had forgotten were witches whose powers could be just as lethal as Silas's. Vaughn let go of Elena in surprise and Elena silently ran away as quickly as she could with her vampire speed. Kol pulled Alyssa away, breaking her concentration, as Ryan yanked Derek away at the same time, breaking his concentration as well. The pain in Connor's head immediately ceased and Kol spun Alyssa around in his arms.
"You, darling, are starting to irritate me for one reason and one reason only," Kol told her.
"Oh? Do tell me the reason," Alyssa said.
"You're friends with Elena, and any friend of Elena's is no friend of mine," Kol said. His fangs extended and he moved to sink his fangs into her neck. Alyssa shoved him away from her and he caught a glimpse of veins under her eyes. Kol chuckled.
"You're just like Silas, aren't you? Half-vampire, half-witch...no wonder you're so powerful," he mused. Alyssa just continued glaring at him.
"Is your brother like you?" Kol asked.
"No," Alyssa replied.
"Good," Kol said as Connor moved to stab Derek.
"Don't you dare hurt my brother," Alyssa warned Connor. Connor looked at her as the blade of his dagger sliced across Derek's chest. Alyssa screamed with the emotional pain she felt.
"Too late. Sorry, Lyssa," Connor said as her eyes filled with tears.
"Damn it, Connor! You know I would never do anything to hurt you like that because you're my friend," Alyssa screamed.
"Job before friendship, Lyssa. I had to," Connor told her.
"Relax, darling. Your brother will come back," Kol said as he bit his wrist hard enough to draw blood. He walked over to Derek and force fed him some of his blood before snapping his neck.
"Why did you do that? He was supposed to continue living as a human, not as a vampire!" Alyssa exclaimed.
"Face it, darling, I did you a favour. It's better this way for you because now you won't have to lose him again," Kol said soothingly to her. Alyssa started crying anyways and Kol frowned at her a second before Vaughn knocked her out.
A/N: Noooooo, Derek!
