Twisted Love
Season Two
The Last Dance
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Grace and Fayth :)
Klaus was still using Alaric's body for his own personally gain, he walks into the teachers closet and pulls out two shirts, he turns to Katherine and Fayth who were tied to chairs.
"Oh! Who is this guy, Safari Sam?" Klaus smirked "Ok, bad or badder?" He held up the shirts to the twins.
"The dark colours suit you better." Fayth told him.
"Oh, thank you, honey... Ok, pop quiz. The dagger and white ash are in the Salvatore's possession, correct?" Klaus questioned.
"The dagger was used to kill Elijah. You'll find him in the basement of the Salvatore house." Fayth told him.
"Ok, the dagger needs to stay exactly where it is. The last thing I need to do is resurrect Elijah. Oh, that guy is a buzzkill." Klaus shook Alaric's head.
"Don't forget you're on the outs with your girlfriend Jenna." Fayth added.
"Right. Elena and Grace's aunt. For all the lies about Isobel. What else?" He looked at the twins.
"That's it." Fayth shrugged restricted by the binds but Klaus walked closer to her and touched her face softly, for the first time in a while Fayth and Katherine seemed genuinely scared.
"Oh, so jumpy." Klaus' voice was giddy.
"Please, just... kill me. I've told you everything I know. We both have." Fayth begged.
"You seen, I believe that you believe that, but what would you not know? What could they be keeping from you? Hmm? Anything? Tell me." Klaus began to compel her threw Alaric's body.
"They were trying to see if Bonnie could fin a way to kill an Original without a dagger." Fayth muttered.
"Bonnie the best friend? I thought you said she didn't have her powers anymore." Klaus mused.
"She doesn't or didn't. I don't know. You kidnapped me, remember? I'm kinda out of the loop..." Fayth hissed.
"Well, we'll just have to get to the bottom of that." Klaus smiled.
"Please, just kill me, Klaus, and be done with it." Katherine begged.
"And show you both kindness? I've searched for you for over 500 years. Your death is going to last at least half that long." Klaus smirked as he pulled a knife from Alaric's pant pocket "I want you to take this knife... and stab your sister with it." He handed Katherine the knife and she jabbed the knife into Fayth's leg, she winced "Now take it out." Katherine did "Now while I'm gone, I want you to do that over and over and over and over again and if you get bored, do it to yourself." He smirked.
"Where are you going?" Katherine asked.
"I'm gonna go lay eyes on my precious little Gracie..." He placed a small kiss on each of their foreheads "Don't be too jealous, Fayth, it's just... I'm over you. The fun is just beginning. Again." He ordered and Katherine stabbed the knife down again.
Elena and Bonnie were inside the house with a lawyer singing the deed over to the Salvatore Boarding House "Please sign here and here." The lawyer instructed and Elena took the pen.
"Ok." She sighed.
"So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you?" Bonnie creased her eye brows.
"For now. As sole owner, I'm the only one who can invite a certain type of person in here, if you know what I mean." She eyed her witch best friend.
"Your own personal safe house." Bonnie mused.
"That's the idea." Elena shrugged.
"Wouldn't want to clean it." She muttered looking at the size of the place.
Just outside the front door Damon and Stefan were waiting to be let into the house, they were talking about Bonnie killing Klaus "You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" Damon asked.
"She said she could channel enough witch's power to kill him. Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so..."
"We just need to find him." Damon wondered.
"Yeah." Stefan nodded.
"Could she do one of those witch tracking spells?" Damon asked looking over at his younger brother.
"Nope. Not without someone that belongs to Klaus. Believe me, I already asked." Stefan informed him.
"Do you think he killed them?" Damon asked almost mournfully.
"Katherine and Fayth? Probably." Stefan nodded.
"It's not like she didn't have it coming." Damon answered as Grace suddenly appeared next to him holding a box of Elena's things.
"This is the last of it." Grace informed them.
"Grace, I said I would help." Damon took the box from her hands placing it by his feet "You didn't need to do all that by yourself, sweetie."
"I had to do something." Grace replied as the door opened to reveal Elena standing there with the lawyer.
"Thank you, Mr Henry." Elena smiled shaking his hand as he left.
Stefan, Damon and Grace approached the door but was all stopped by the barrier, Grace sighed heavily "Oh, come on! You've got to be kidding me."
"I'm sorry. I completely forgot." Elena gave her a cunning look "Grace, would you please do me the honour of joining me in the house."
"It would be a pleasure." Grace skipped inside hugging her sister "Ah, the bond of sisters." She smirked at Damon who gave her a small, playful growl.
"Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house." Elena smiled at her boyfriend.
"I would love to. Thank you." Stefan stepped through the barrier too giving Damon a smirk.
"You know, I... uh, I better go upstairs and shower." Grace looked at Damon her eyes wide and innocent looking, curling a piece of her hair around her finger seductively.
"Elena, let me in." Damon pressed himself against the barrier looking at his girlfriend swaying her hips as she walked away from him.
"If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?" Elena asked.
"And her sister." Grace called she was already at the stairs.
"No." Damon smirked.
"Shame." Grace called.
"Seriously, Damon. My way. You promised. I call the shots. No lies, no secret agendas. Remember?" Elena told him.
"Yes, Elena. Sure." Damon rolled his eyes.
"Then please, come in." Elena stepped aside and he entered the house to see Grace and Bonnie come around the corner, the vampire redressed in different clothes.
"What are you doing?" Damon asked.
"I'm going to school." Grace answered "Elena, catch." She passed her Elena's jacket.
"Huh? No, you're showering." Damon caught her waist.
"No!" Grace laughed as Damon dragged the girl to his room.
"We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it, Elena." Stefan told his girlfriend "Klaus is out there. We know that.
"Right, but where? No one knows. Look, I really appreciate what you guys are going. 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." She told him.
"Don't worry, I'm ready. If he shows his face, I can take him. I know how." Bonnie confirmed.
"The way I see it, next to Bonnie is the safest place that I can be. Come one." Elena took Bonnie's hand as they left the room.
"Wait, I'm coming." Stefan grabbed his bag leaving with them.
Damon watched Grace jiggle the door handle as she turned to him death written in her eyes, he was holding the key in his hands, when she zipped over to him he held it in the air.
"C'mon shorty, reach it." He teased.
"Damon, stop playing around, I'm going to be late." Grace whined as she stood on her tip toes still unable to reach the key, her shirt rising up her stomach, Damon took his chance and gripped the bottom of it ripping it from her body "That was my favourite shirt." Her voice was low as she looked down at her black lacy bra.
"I'll buy you a new one." Damon shrugged.
"Not the point." She spat pushing him back into he bed before ripping his shirt from his body.
"This was designer." Damon growled.
"Deal with it." Grace pressed her lips to his running her hands through his hair as she straddled his waist smiling down at him "we're even."
"No we're not." Damon flipped them "But we will be." He unclips her bra at the back throwing it across the room, his lips skim over the soft skin and she moans out "You like that, Gracie?"
"Damon." She arched her back a little.
The older vampire kissed down her trimmed stomach before reaching her short shorts unbuttoning them and pulling them down, he reached up and latched his teeth onto her black panties pulling them down too.
"mmm, sweetie." He kissed up her leg stopping at her inner thigh licking the sensitive skin gently, gradually getting higher and higher.
"Damon." Grace breathed out suddenly intaking a swift gasp as her fingers find his beautiful raven black mane.
"Still wanna go to school?" Damon teased.
Matt approached the Forbes House and knocked the door gently, Sheriff Forbes came to the door looking at him suspiciously "Caroline left early for school." Liz explained.
"I know. I came to see you. I don't know what to do. What to say, how to act around her." Matt looked at the woman for guidance.
"You can't let on that you know." Liz told him.
"She wants me to take her to tha dance. What am I supposed to do?" Matt asked.
"Take her to the dance." Liz replied simply.
"I'll never get away with it. She knows me too well, she'll figure it out." Matt whispered.
"Damn it, Matt, just go it. She's my daughter. She's my baby. I just, I need some time."
"I know, but-"
"Look, if what Caroline told you is true, she's not he only one. The Salvatore's are vampires. Grace is a vampire. The Gilbert family is in on it. Tyler Lockwood is God know what..."
"A werewolf." Matt corrected her.
"There's not one in this town I can trust. I just need to take a beat and figure out what to do." Liz told him.
"That'll never fool her." Matt shook his head.
"Yes, you will. As far as she knows, you don't remember anything. Buy me some time. Please, Matt." She begged.
A little while later that day, the class walks into history Elena talking her seat next to Stefan sliding a flyer for the decade dance towards him and he shook his head, but when Elena looked back at Bonnie who was sitting behind them she looked just as excited as she was.
"Hello, class." Klaus walked in the room but everyone only saw Alaric or Mr. Saltzman "What are we learning today?"
"Sorry I'm late." Grace burst in the room and Klaus' eyes lingered on Grace for far too long, his eye running up and down her barely clothed body "I'm so sorry, I was... I was busy." she was out of breath and smoothing down her hair.
"Not a worry at all, Grace." Klaus smiled at her "Take a seat, won't you."
"Thanks." Grace creased her eye brows as she walked to her seat sitting down "Hey." She smiled at Bonnie.
"Where were you?" Bonnie asked.
"Erm... It doesn't really matter." Grace replied as she felt her phone vibrate in her short shorts, she reached in and dug it out reading she had a message from Damon.
Damon – Where did you go, beautiful? I woke up and found you gone from my arms. Just to be clear, we are so not even anymore ;) you left, you broke the deal... xx
Grace – Sorry :( I had to get to school, need to be there for Elena with Klaus running around. I can make it up to you later, that's if you want me to ;) xx
"Ms. Gilbert." Klaus called towards Grace.
"That's you." Elena turned to her.
"Sorry, Mr. Saltzman, what did you say?" Grace asked again.
"Phone, please." He walked towards her holding his hand out waiting.
"I'm sorry, I won't get it out again." Grace promised as it vibrated.
"Sorry, love." He took the phone from her hands beginning to search through it "Hmm, a rather graphic text sent from Damon..." He mused.
"Oh my God." Grace hissed covering her face "Can you just give it back? I'll turn it off and put it in my bag." She promised.
"If you can name something that was good in the sixties." He smiled at her challengingly.
"The Beatles." Grace shrugged and everyone around her giggled.
"No, no. Grace is right." Klaus smiled towards the girl "The Beatles were the only thing that made it bearable. Good answer."
"Thanks?" Grace creased her eye brows as Klaus smiled down at her through her teachers body, he placed her phone back in her hands.
"Uh, what else was there? The Cuban missile thing, the... we walked on the moon. There was Watergate."
"Watergate was the seventies, Mr. Saltzman." Grace informed him giving him a unforgettable smile now taking notes.
"Right." He smiled at her again "It all kind of mushes together up here, the sixties, the seventies. Thank you, Grace."
Caroline walked over to the preppy brunette cheerleader named Dana but as she was walking towards her she saw Matt "Hey, Dana. Um, can you take care of these?" Caroline asked.
"Sure." Dana nodded.
"Ok, thank you." The blonde smiled as she handed the girl the posters and walks over to Matt "Hey." She greet him and without thinking he leaned down and kissed her "What was that for?"
"Just practicing for tonight." He shrugged and she laughed "So I... found a suit. If you still want me to be JFK tonight."
"Perfect." Caroline giggled.
Bonnie and Jeremy were both sat in the cafeteria at a table talking about Elena and Grace not knowing that is the young witch harnessed too much power she would die "Did you tell Elena or Grace what it's going to take for you to do that Klaus spell?" The boy asked.
"No, and you're not, either." Bonnie told him firmly.
"Well, they've gotta know you can't do it." Jeremy shrugged.
"You don't know I can't. Have a little faith in me." Bonnie pushed him a little.
"That's not fair. You can't harness the power of a hundred dead witches. It'll kill you." He told her.
"Shh! We don't know that for certain. You promised me to keep my secret, I'm trusting you. I'm going through with this, and if you tell anyone, I swear..." It was an empty threat.
"What? What are you gonna do?" Jeremy asked.
"Hey." Grace joined them taking a seat with Elena next to them.
"Hey, Jer. How you doing? Are you ok at the house alone with John?" Elena asked.
"It's not ideal." He rose from his seat.
"You haven't heard from Jenna, have you?" Elena asked him hopeful.
"It looks like she's staying on campus. Look I'm... I'm late for class." He walked from the room.
"What's with him?" Grace asked cracking open her Dr. Pepper.
"I told him he had to dress up tonight and he got all uptight. So, Damon sending out graphic texts." Bonnie laughed along with Elena.
"Yeah, laugh it up." Grace rolled her eyes and rubbed her back "I can't believe Alaric did that, do you think he's drunk?"
"I think he's just teasing you." Elena shrugged as Dana walked over to the table beaming at Grace.
"Hey, Grace, there you are. Ok. This is going to sound freaky, but this totally hot guy just asked me to ask you if you're going to the dance tonight." Dana grinned.
"Tell him she has a older boyfriend. Should scare him off." Bonnie shrugged.
"Older is an understatement." Grace shot her a look and both Bonnie and Elena laughed "But, Dana, tell him no thanks."
"His name's Klaus. I know the name's stupid, but I swear he's hot." Dana promised.
"H-His name is... is Klaus?" Grace whispered her eyes widening as her whole body stiffened as the three girls surveyed the room "Dana, is he here now?"
"I don't know." Dana replied.
"She's being compelled." Bonnie whispered.
"But he wants to know if you'll save him the last dance. How cute is that?" Dana cooed.
It didn't take long for Grace, Bonnie and Elena to return to Elena's new house to see Stefan and Damon waiting "Save him the last dance." Damon scoffed "How lame is that."
"Damon, I'm scared over here, ok?" Grace told him and he took both of her hands gently "I don't know what to do, he's actually here."
"Don't worry, we go to the dance, we find him." Damon shrugged.
"Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like." Stefan threw him a look.
"Something tells me he's not going to be 16 and pimply." Damon smirked.
"He could be anywhere at any time. He compelled somebody at school..." Stefan mused looking over at the girls "I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?" he added as someone knocked the door, Klaus walked in still using Alaric's body as his vessel.
"There you are." Damon noted.
"Sorry I'm late." Klaus replied.
"Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move." Damon informed him of something he already knew.
"Ok, so we find him and then what, hmm? What's our plan off attack?" Elena asked from where she sat with Stefan holding his hand.
"Me. I'm the plan." Bonnie spoke up "He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him."
"That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around." Klaus bragged.
Damon nodded "Alaric has a point. I mean, what if he..." He zipped towards Bonnie, but before he could get anywhere near her he was thrown across the room.
"Well, I was impressed." Stefan spoke up and Grace smirked.
"It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can kill him. I know I can." Bonnie told them all confidently.
Soon Alaric bodied Klaus returned to Alaric's apartment to begin to get ready for the schools decade dance, he compelled Katherine to stop stabbing Fayth in the leg which was bleeding violently, but had no stab wounds where they had healed "Ah, you're right. This witch is all juiced up and aiming to kill." Klaus muttered.
"That's terrible." Fayth's voice was thickly sarcastic when a the warlock from before walked into the kitchen searching the cupboards.
"We're gonna have to kill her, Maddox." Klaus told him walking over to Alaric's dresser looking through the shirts "Do you think this Alaric guy has anything vintage." he got to the bottom of the draw and saw there was a wooden plank, he pulled it up to reveal all the vampire killing weapons "Crossbows, wooden bullets and automatics? Who is this guy, again?" Klaus asked holding a crossbow.
"He's the local vampire hunter." Katherine replied.
"Ah. Well, that explains the clothing." He threw the crossbow to the floor like a child finished with a toy.
"All I could fine." Maddox handed Klaus a glass "Guy likes his bourbon."
"I knew there was something about him I liked. There's a high school dance and I'm gonna need you to take out witch bitch." Klaus used his affectionate nick-name for Bonnie.
"If she has that much power, she can sense me coming from a mile away. I won't be able to get near her. You have to do it."
"In this body?" He looked down at the history teacher body "I'm a haggard history teacher. She can easily hurt me. I mean, not me, Klaus me, but you know what I mean..."
"No witch could handle channeling that much power. It'll kill her. It would kill me. You just have to make her use it." Maddox smiled.
"You mean like provoking her to death?" Klaus asked.
"Won't take long. Just keep attacking her until it kills her. His body, Alaric, will last longer than hers will." The warlock smiled.
"How? He's human." Klaus shrugged.
"I can help in that department. I can do a spell to protect you." Maddox smiled.
Caroline was walking around her house searching for her mom, she was wearing a hot pink dress suit, she was going as Jackie O to the dance with Matt as her date, him being JFK.
"There you are!" Caroline spotted her mom "You almost missed me. How do I look?" She twirled.
"Jackie O?" Liz giggled.
The vampire laughed too "Duh."
"You look good." Liz confirmed.
"Thanks." Caroline smiled "Is everything ok?"
"Uh, just some work stress." Liz lied smoothly.
"Well, you work too much." Caroline replied as Matt knocked the door, she opened it to reveal him in a dashing suit "Mr. President."
"Hey." Matt smiled.
"Hi." She went to kiss him, but he looked behind her at her mother.
"Sheriff." He nodded respectfully.
"Sorry." Caroline muttered.
"Have fun." Liz told them.
"We will." Caroline walked from the house.
"Hmm, I don't know." Grace looked at the outfit in front of her "It's a little revealing."
"That's what the sixties was about." Damon smirked "You'd look sexy in this, trust me."
"Alright." Grace walked into the bathroom and stripped down to her panties and bra, first she pulled on the crochet halter top, it was a beaming white colour and it matched her white micro mini skirt, she then pulled on her black go-go boots and clipped on her black and white hooped chain belt that completed her outfit "I don't know."
"Here." Damon passed her a black head band that she slipped over her hair, she giggled.
"So, do I look retro?" She stuck one hip out to the side posing.
"Yes." Damon leaned down and kissed her.
"Ready to go?" Stefan walked in the room Elena by his side.
"Yep." Damon nodded.
Mystic Falls High school gym was pumping with dancing teens, Klaus walked in and dances his way through the crowd before making over to Dana and her date.
"Nice outfit, Mr. Saltzman. Totally far out." Dana laughed.
"Thank you, Dana." Klaus smiled "Thank you. Now who is your date?"
"It's Chad, Mr, Saltzman, from third period." Chad reminded him.
"Chad, of course. How would you and your friends like to earn a little extra credit?" Klaus smirked at them.
Bonnie and Jeremy were just outside of the school talking and waiting for the other four to catch up "Wait." he took of his ring "Look, I... um... I wanted you to have this."
"If you're asking me to go steady, I think that was the fifties." Bonnie giggled.
"No, I'm serious, Bonnie." Jeremy told her.
"This ring won't work on me, Jeremy." She told him pushing his hand away.
"But it was made by a witch." the teen creased his eye brows.
"To protect from supernatural, not for someone who is." Bonnie giggled a little.
"Well, I have to do something. I can't just... I can't just let you get yourself killed." Jeremy lowered his voice.
"Just because a bunch of witches gave me a warning doesn't mean I'm going to die." Bonnie informed him.
"So you're saying there's a 50-50 shot you won't? Look, I'm sorry. But... you know I don't have the best luck in the girlfriend department." he reminded her.
"Hey. Listen, I... I can't explain it. But I can feel them. I'm empowered, Jeremy, I can do this. I know I can. I'm strong enough." She assured him as she embraced him seeing Damon watching them "Damon."
"Evening." He nodded as he walked in followed by Grace, Elena and Stefan.
"Hey, you two." Grace smiled "Oh, you look nice." She hugged the witch.
"You too." Bonnie smiled.
"You guys ready to do this?" Stefan asked and they all walked in to the gym in their group, as soon as they entered Dana jumped up into the makeshift stage.
"Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight." Dana called "This is for Grace, from Klaus." Her voice was low and seductive.
Grace's heart stopped momentarily as Damon, Stefan, Bonnie and Jeremy gathered around her and Elena, the young girl recognised the song and wanted to be sick, it was so twisted 'Dedicated To The One I Love' by The Mamas And The Papas.
"That was a lame, cheap shot." Damon told Grace "He's just trying to bait us."
"I know everyone here." Elena scanned the people around them.
"Maybe's he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is." Stefan suggested seeing the fearful look on Grace's features.
"It's a party, Grace. C'mon, people... blend." Damon told everyone taking Grace making her sway with him.
"Good idea." Bonnie took Jeremy's hand leading him to the dance floor as he complained.
"There's Ric. I'll be right back to dance some more." Damon winked at Grace as he walked over to the Original in the History teachers body.
"Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted..." Klaus smirked "He must have a thing for Grace."
"I'm not impressed." Damon shrugged.
"No?" Klaus cocked Alaric's eye brow.
"Let me know if you seen anything out of whack." Damon noted as he walked away.
Jeremy and Bonnie were dancing close and so were Elena and Stefan, the doppelgänger saw Caroline and Matt arrive "Caroline's here. They don't know what's going on. We have to tell her."
"I'm on it." Stefan walked over and Elena walked over to Grace who was looking incredibly nervous.
"You look really good." Elena took a seat next to her "You really don't need to worry, Bonnie is super powerful, she can take him."
"What kind of game is he playing?" Grace asked "Save the last dance for me, a song called dedicated to the one I love, what is this? What is he trying to do?"
"well, remember what Elijah said? Klaus had a deep love for women like you... I think he was referring to Fayth, right? It's obvious that he does love women like you and now if moving on to you..."
"I don't want him moving on to me." Grace huffed.
"Can I interest you in a dance?" Damon walked over holding his hand out as he approached the two.
"No, all this Klaus drama has got me really feeling sick, I don't feel like dancing." Grace went to walk away but Damon caught her waist.
"Stay. Just forget about it." He smiled as he spun her around "For five minutes."
"Fine." Grace let him dance around with her.
"You need to relax." Damon told her "Remember the last decade dance? We danced all night long, kissed, the vampires were all 'ah!' and you were all, 'Ah!'." Damon did a girly scream which made Grace giggle.
"Right. And you won." Grace noted.
"Yes! We did." Damon smiled "And that was before you were a vampire, just imagine what you're capable of now." he spun her and dragged her back in a 60s styled fashion.
"You're good a this." Grace giggled.
"I've got moves you've never seen." Damon smirked.
"Dance with me." Caroline begged Matt as they entered the room.
He chuckled acting normal "I'm a really bad dancer."
She laughs and took his arm "I know better than that." they began to dance. "What?"
"You look really pretty tonight." He smiled.
Stefan joined in the middle of the dance floor them smiling and acting as if everything was alright "Hey, guys."
"Hey, man, what's up?" Matt smiled eyeing the vampire.
"Hey. Do you mind if I steal your date for a moment?" He smiled at the blonde.
"No, not at all. I'll get us something to drink." Matt replied as he walked away through the crowd.
"Thanks." Stefan smiled as he took Caroline's hands beginning to dance with her acting casual.
The blonde sensed that something was wrong "What's wrong?
"Klaus is here." Stefan replied.
"What?" Caroline hissed looking around at all the dancing teens "Where?"
"We have no idea. But keep your eye out for anything that might be weird, ok?" Stefan told her firmly, concerned for her.
Damon saw Bonnie dancing close with Jeremy, he walked over to the two and smiled as they both pulled back a little to look at him "May I?" The vampire asked Jeremy looks at him and left. Damon danced with Bonnie.
"You heard Jeremy and me talking, didn't you?" Bonnie asked.
"Is it true?" The blue eyed vampire asked,
"Yes." she confirmed.
"The part about you having a 50-50 shot of surviving? Is that true?" Damon looked at her.
"He was upset. I didn't want him to worry." Bonnie replied.
"So you lay it out on the line for Elena and Grace, no matter what." Damon questioned.
"No matter what." Bonnie nodded.
"Good." Damon nodded too.
"You can't tell them." Bonnie told him firmly.
"Your secret's safe with me, but I mean... With all that power, is there no way to increase your odds?" Damon creased his eye brows.
Careful, Damon. I might start to think you actually care." Bonnie joked avoiding the subject.
"We wouldn't want that." Damon smirked.
Grace and Elena were dancing in the crowd, laughing and twirling around when Grace bumped directly into Jeremy, he caught her before she could hit the floor.
"Hey, lover boy." Grace giggled beginning to dance with him and Elena at the same time "Where's Bonnie."
"Dancing with Damon." Jeremy answered.
"What are they up to?" Grace creased her eye brows as Damon wiggled his fingers at her, she giggled a little.
"Who knows." Jeremy mused.
"Is there something going on, Jer? You ok?" Elena asked.
"Fine. I'm fine." Jeremy stopped dancing and left the gym quickly.
"Everything alright?" Stefan joined the girls who had stopped their dancing now.
"I'm not sure." Elena mused.
Jeremy walks out into the hallway getting some fresh air that didn't tickle his throat with heavy perfume or the thick smog of hairspray. Stefan joined him looking at him a little worried "Jeremy. What are you doing? Elena thinks we should stick together." Stefan told him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I've got my ring. It's... it's Bonnie." he whispered.
"What is it? Hey, you got something on your mind, spit it out." Stefan placed his hand on his shoulders.
"If Bonnie takes on Klaus, channeling all that energy's going to kill her." Jeremy's voice quivered.
"What?" Stefan whispered.
"But she doesn't want Elena and Grace to know, 'cause if they knows, they're gonna try to stop her. And it's Elena that could turn up dead, and Klaus is doing all of these all of these creepy, twisted things to Grace, so... What am I supposed to do?" Jeremy panicked.
Later on that night everyone is dancing. Damon is dancing with two girls dancing with them, having a good time. Bonnie looks at him and smiles shaking her head gently as Elena and Grace join her on the dance floor.
"We need to talk to you." Elena's voice was low and they all walk from the room.
Damon was looking over at them confused to where they were going, Grace shot him and look and then Bonnie did too, he gave off an even more confused look when Stefan joined him.
"Come here, come here, come here." Stefan pulled his older brother to one side "Please tell me you didn't know that Bonnie was on a suicide mission."
"Oh, great. Jeremy told you and of course you told Elena and then she told Grace which explains that bitchy look she just gave me." Damon growled,
"Yeah, I told her. You promised her no more secrets." Stefan spat.
"I changed my mind." Damon sneered.
Elena, Grace and Bonnie all walk outside of the building basking in the cold air that ran across their burning limbs from all the dancing "How could you not tell us?" Elena whispered.
"Because I knew how you'd react." Bonnie answered.
"No. No way, it's not an option." Elena told her firmly.
"It's our only option." Bonnie growled.
"Then we'll find another way, ok?" Grace told her "There has to be." her voice was low and desperate.
"Bonnie, you're not dying to save my life. No one is!" Elena burst.
"I have the power to save you! If I don't use it and something happens, that would kill me more." Bonnie told them.
"Just answer one question... if the situation was reversed, would you do it for me?" Bonnie asked and both girls didn't answer "So you know why I have to."
"No. No!" Elena screamed.
Jeremy was still in the hallway, he took a deep breath as he walked back towards the gym when he was intercepted by Chad and two other students.
"What's going on, guys?" Jeremy asked.
"You ok, Gilbert? You don't look so good." Chad nodded.
"Dude, seriously? Wrong day, wrong guy." Jeremy spat when suddenly the two boys grabbed him and Chad punched him continuously until he fell to his side, which was when the three of them started to kick and stomp on him.
Stefan and Damon run into the hallway and the boys quickly pull out Alaric's weapons pointing at the two vampires.
"Hey idiots!" Damon yelled as they got closer and Chad fired a wooden stake into his shoulder "Let me guess... Klaus says hi?" Stefan rushes over to Chad and his friend knocking them both out when Damon catches the other one above to shove the stake that had been into his shoulder into the compelled teens chest.
"No! Don't kill him." Stefan called "He's compelled."
"So?" Damon spat.
"So, the whole thing's a distraction. Go find Bonnie, Elena and Grace. I got this. Go." Stefan ordered and Damon growled at the boy before shoving him against the lockers and running through the halls in search for the girls.
"Grace!" Klaus runs over in Alaric's body to the three girls.
"What is it?" Grace asked.
"He has Jeremy." Klaus lied.
"What?" Elena whispered.
"What!" Bonnie growled.
"Yeah, Klaus has Jeremy. Come one." He lead them all threw the halls into a deserted part of the school.
"Ok, so where are you taking is?" Grace asked.
"Just a little further." Klaus slowed from his jog to a walk.
"Wait... something's not right." Elena noted.
"Where's Jeremy?" Bonnie demanded as he stops and laughs.
"I just had to get away from the dance. The 60s, ugh. Not my decade." He chuckled "I mean, whose call was that, anyway? I much prefer the twenties. The styler, the parties, the jazz." He smirked.
"Alaric. Are you on vervain?" Grace asked.
"Now why would you ask me that question, Grace?" Klaus smirked.
"He's being compelled." Elena whispered.
"Nope. Try again." Klaus grinned.
"What's going on?" Elena asked.
"Ok, I'll give you a hint. I am not Alaric." Klaus smiled directly at Grace seeing that she was the first to connect everything.
"Klaus." She whimpered.
"Surprise! Not only beautiful, but smart too. I could just kiss you." He smiled taking a step towards her "Did you like my song I dedicated to you?"
"Don't take another step towards her." Bonnie warned.
"Just relax, Grace. I'm not here to hurt you, not at all... you're sister is on my hit list, but you're not sweetie." Klaus assured her before glancing over at Bonnie "But you are." That threat sent Bonnie over the edge as she laughed him against a wall of lockers with her newly found powers, he got straight back up.
"But all means... fire away! If you kill this body, I'll just get a new one. Maybe Jeremy." He smirked.
"Go. Run. Run!" Bonnie yelled as they all began to run back the way they had came stopping as they saw Damon running towards them, he caught Grace in his arms.
"What's wrong? What's happening?"
"It's Klaus... He... He's in Alaric's body." Grace whimpered close to tears.
"What?" Damon growled.
"he's possessing it or something." Bonnie added.
"Shh. Shh." Damon shhed Grace "Everything is going to be ok, what did he say to you?"
"He said about the song and said he could just kiss me..." Grace shuddered her stomach churning unevenly "Damon-"
Damon quickly kissed her "I'm the only one that will kiss you..." She was still shaking in his arms, petrified "You told me about the song that Caroline sung, think of that, ok? That's our song, that's the only song you need. Klaus won't hurt you, I promise."
"What are we going to do?" Elena asked.
"Go help Elena find Stefan, ok? Stick with her." Damon kissed Grace again before letting her go "I love-"
"Not now, later." Damon smiled "We will say it later." he assured her "Go. Now." Elena grasped Grace's hand tightly as both of them ran from the hallway "Can you kill him?" He questioned Bonnie.
"He's got some kind of protect spell on him." Bonnie answered.
"You have the power of a hundred witches. Break it." Damon growled.
"I'm trying! If I kill Alaric, he'll just possess someone else. He knows I have my power, Damon. He's trying to kill me." Sh breathed.
"No. Klaus does not get to win tonight, no way. You still willing to do whatever it takes to kill him?" Damon asked and she nodded.
"Where is he?" Grace whispered as both twins ran onto the dance floor in a panic, Caroline spotted them walking over Matt joining her.
"Hey! Are you ok?" Caroline asked concerned.
"Um... Yeah. We're just... we're looking for Stefan." Elena explained as she saw him walk in the room "Uh, just, um, just stay with Matt, ok?" they both run over to the hazel eyed vampire.
"What was that about?" Matt smirked.
"Oh, you know, just same old drama." Caroline shrugged.
Bonnie was stalking down the hallway, a witch on a mission, she was all alone whens he burst into the cafeteria to see Alaric sitting in there, knife in hand, but she knew better know, that was no longer her history teacher, that was Klaus.
"What took you so long?" Klaus smirked "Now, do you now do you want this the easy way or the hard way?" Klaus smirked and she narrowed her eye snapping his wrist with her powers.
"The hard way." He popped the bone back into place "Got it." He stands up and she breaks his shoulder with her powers he groaned loudly "What? You'd kill your favourite history teacher?"
"It's what Alaric would want. And he's want you to suffer first." She dried the blood leaking from her nose.
"Look at you." He smirked "Is that all you got?"
"Let's find out." She hissed.
Stefan, Elena and Grace run down the hallway towards the cafeteria when they were intercepted by Damon "There you are." He puts his arms around Grace and despite her worry for Bonnie she melted into his embrace, it felt good to know that he was still alive.
"What are you doing? Where's Bonnie?" Elena demanded.
"She's going what she has to do." Damon replied and Grace pushed away from his arms.
"What?" Grace asked.
"Where is she?" Stefan asked.
"Stefan, let her do this." Damon replied.
"Damn it, Damon, where is she!" Stefan demanded.
Bonnie was standing in the middle of the cafeteria giving Klaus all she had, she noticed that Grace, Elena and Stefan arrived at the doors so she locked the doors.
"Bonnie, no!" Elena screamed.
Both Grace and Stefan use their vampire strength to try and knock down the doors but they would not break, Bonnie used more of her powers the lights began to burst and a rain of sparks flew down on them sending Klaus to the floor, but when he rose back up. The witch turned to Grace and Elena giving them a weak, meaningful smile before her back bent and her body went limp falling to the floor, the doors clicked unlocked and the three ran in.
"No! Oh! Bonnie!" Grace screamed as she dove to the floor next to her, Elena stood above her unable to move, paralysed by pain "She's not breathing. Does my blood work? Will it save her?" the younger vampire asked as Stefan inspected the room to see that Klaus was no longer there "Stefan!"
"it's too late." Stefan told her "I'm sorry."
"No! No! It can't be!" Grace screamed ripping into her wrist, but Stefan stopped her as Damon walked in the room.
"Stefan, get them out of here. I'll deal with the body." Damon told him.
"What do you mean, deal with it?" Grace spat her tears streaming.
"The Sheriff can't know about this. Last thing we need's another mysterious death." Damon mused.
"This is Bonnie!" Grace screamed hysterically making everyone flinch.
"Grace, go home." Damon told her "Go home, so I can clean this up."
"Damon, please." Grace whispered.
"Go, Grace." He told her firmly but she wouldn't move "Stefan, take her." Stefan hooked his arms under her arms pits picking her up, but her body was limp her feet dragging on the floor.
"It's going to be ok." he took Elena's wrist dragging her from the room two, both of the girls were crying now.
Damon sighed as he watched Grace leave the room, hearing her pain stricken cries made him cringe and wince, he closed Bonnie's eyes as if to put her at rest, but he had to move her, but body in the trunk of a car.
"Damon!" Jeremy ran over "I got your message, I can't find anyone. Where's Elena and Grace? where's Bonnie?" He asked.
"We need to have a little talk." Damon lowered his voice.
Later that night Elena was still sat in silence on the couch, and Grace was pacing the rooms the tears continuing to fall unable to stop them, the pain was so great she screamed placing her hand over her heart making both Stefan and Elena jolt.
"I know it hurts." Stefan hugged her "I know, but it will stop soon."
"I want to turn it off." Grace whispered.
"Don't." Stefan brushed her hair from her eyes "Don't do that."
"This is my fault." Elena muttered finally.
"No, no, no. Hey. This was Klaus. Listen to me. Klaus did this."
Damon walked in the room and Grace turned to him, she looked at stage, but he loved seeing her raw with emotion, it made him think back to when she was human.
"What did you do with her!" Grace demanded.
"Will you please calm down." Damon told her firmly.
"You knew! Didn't you? You knew that if she harnessed all that power, that she would die, didn't you!" Grace growled.
"Yes. Yes, I knew." Damon nodded and Grace lashed out and struck him, everyone in the room was taken by surprise.
Damon grabbed her arms but spoke calmly "You need to listen to me, and prepare for what I'm about to say. Bonnie had to die. Klaus using Alaric's body was a total surprise. She wasn't prepared for that. And he wasn't going to stop, and we weren't going to be able to stop him until he knew she was dead. He had to believe it."
At the abandoned witches house Jeremy was pacing the basement looking down at the witch in the floor who was surrounded by candle, she suddenly gasped back to life her eyes opening wide, he jumped to the floor next to her embracing her tightly.
"She cast a spell. Bonnie's ok." Damon confirmed "Bonnie's ok." He walked from the room and Stefan quickly followed him.
"You know, you could have told me." Stefan told him firmly.
"How do I know when you're going to go blabbing things to my girlfriend?" Damon countered.
"You understand what you put them through?" Stefan hissed.
"See, that's why I didn't' tell you. 'Cause you would have never been able to do it. Don't get me wrong, Stefan. I don't mind being the bad guy. I'll make all the life and death decisions while you're busy worrying about collateral damage. I'll even let her hate me for it. But at the end of the day, if it ever came down down to it, I will always keep Grace alive, no matter what or who gets in the way..." he walked up to his bedroom.
Back at the abandoned house Jeremy was sitting against the wall with his laptop on his legs, he glanced around at the candle lit room "You sure it's safe here?" Jeremy asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Bonnie nodded as he reached into his bag grabbing something.
"What is that?" Bonnie asked.
"It is WiFi. If we're gonna be stuck here, then we might as well have internet." He smirked.
"You don't have to stay down here with me." Bonnie smiled at him.
"Hey, look, I'm not letting you out of my sight." Jeremy smiled.
"I... I need you to talk to Elena for me and Grace... Tell them how sorry I am for what Damon and I had to do." Bonnie whispered.
"Well, um... why don't you tell Elena yourself." He turned his laptop to show Elena on the screen.
"Bonnie!" Elena screamed as she saw her over webcam.
"Elena, Elena, I'm so sorry." Bonnie told her.
"It's ok, it's ok. I just needed to see you for myself." Elena whispered revealed to see her best friend as she began to cry.
"There wasn't enough time for me to tell you." Bonnie told her.
"It's ok, seriously. Damon explained it all after him and Grace had a huge fight." Elena lowered her voice.
"Oh, God." Bonnie muttered "Tell her I'm sorry."
"It's fine she's gone to sort it out now." Elena explained.
Damon was sat in his room drinking in the dark when suddenly the door cracked open and Grace was standing there "Ugh. Look. Klaus had to think she was dead. Your reaction had to be real, it had to be raw, you being a vampire made it more emotional..." He explained.
"I understand why you did what you did." Grace informed him as she switched on the lights "Klaus was fool, and Bonnie's alive."
"Here's to duplicity." he rose his glass.
"But let's get on thing straight, Damon. Bonnie will not die for me, I will not let that happen." Grace hissed firmly.
"We need to kill Klaus, Grace. Real Klaus. Who will probably be coming to pay you and your sister a visit soon now that he knows that Bonnie is dead. She's the only one who can do it." Damon told her walking towards her.
"We'll find another way." Grace was determined.
"I hope so." Damon smiled genuinely.
The young vampire sighed heavily "Look, I shouldn't have hit you."
"Apology accepted. Let me be clear about something. If it comes down to you and the witch again, I will gladly let Bonnie die. I will always choose you." He leaned down cupping her cheek pressing a passionate kiss to her lips.
"I'm kind of thirsty, Damon. I'm going to go grab a drink." Grace pulled away from his lips her eyes scanning every inch of his body.
"I'll be waiting." He winked.
Grace walked down into the basement and checked her surroundings before walking into the cellar room that they kept Elijah's daggered body in, she bent down and removed it as she took a seat next to him, it would only be a matter of time before the sleeping Original awoke...
