Twisted Love
Season Three
Do Not Go Gentle
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Vampire Diaries, I only own Grace and Fayth :)
Damon glanced over at his little lover and she was completely exhausted next to him, clutching the thin sheet tight to her naked pale body. She moaned and squirm around on the mattress, her pouted mouth slightly ajar chocolate-brown eyes wide.
"Well, looks like someone is feeling very good." Damon muttered playfully as he leaned down and kissed the gorgeous, young girl, she giggled and leaned her head back as her body jolted now and then, he rolled back between her thin legs feeling her tiny naked body pressed against his toned form.
"Damon Salvatore, we've been at it all night long." Grace whispered looking up into his crystal blue orbs, there wasn't the tiniest piece of giving up that she could see, he attacked her slender neck with butterfly kisses making her whimper and shudder in pleasure.
"I can go again. I can go as many times as you need me too, Gracie." He purred trailing his tongue down her throat lovingly, she moaned gratefully as she rolled him over giving him a playful look.
"Well, Salvatore, I need to go shower." She pried herself away from him, he went to jump up about to join her, but she placed her small hand on his broad toned chest giggling a little shaking her head "And I feel like getting out actually feeling clean, alright?"
"Gracie, I'm hurt. What do you take me for?" He feigned being hurt before wrapping his hands around her creamy thighs lifting her and taking her into the shower room "I want to spend as much time as I can with you... make up for lost time, sweetie." He smirked as he turned the knobs of the shower making the water spurt out onto the tiles "Nice and hot... like you."
"Damon!"
Klaus was pacing around his art room a paintbrush in hand but all that kept coming to mind was her long chocolate-brown locks that cascaded down her slender back, her large round chocolate-brown orbs, the way she would look at him.
"What took you so long!?" Klaus snapped as his young sister walked into the room, she gave him a sharp look but just shrugged a little.
"Alaric didn't want to hand over the stake." Esther who was hiding in Rebekah's body pulled the white oak stake from her bag and nodded "Luckily I'm quite the charmer."
"That's it?" Klaus questioned, that was the last weapon that could kill him and his family and the bloodline of vampires he had created.
"The last of the white oak stakes that can kill us." Esther confirmed flipping her long dead straight blonde locks over her shoulder like her daughter would "Do you want to do the honours or shall I?" She asked in a playful tone but her brother walked over and took the stake from her hands and threw it into the fireplace ending it once and for all "Well, that's that then."
"Pack your bags, we're leaving." Klaus ordered in a low voice, he had enough of Mystic Falls and just knew that he could do anything to get Grace back, he had gone too far this time and as much as it hurt to admit it, he knew it was the end.
"Today?" Esther's voice shook a bit, she had finished her plan yet, getting rid of her murderous children was top priority at the moment.
"Why not?" Klaus questioned "There's nothing keeping us here. We'll grab the doppelgänger and be off by sunset."
"W-What about Grace? D-Don't you have to fight for her?" Esther questioned she obviously hadn't heard about Klaus' turning on Grace and almost beating her to death and that dear Rebekah had saved her, he turned giving her a grim look his mixed coloured orbs had death written in them.
"That's not even funny, Rebekah. You can be a real bitch, you know?" He growled looking away for a moment "She'd never forgive me for what I did to her..."
"Well... Well, then make her." Esther answered quickly trying to think of a reason for them to stay in Mystic Falls "The Niklaus I know wouldn't give up so easily." She paused for a moment "And what about the decade dance?"
"What about it?" Klaus growled, he had no patience for a silly dance with a load of human teens dressed in bad fancy dress.
"So, I'm head of the committee, we have to go." Esther argued crossing her arms over her chest, she hadn't finished her plan yet to end them all.
"I'm not going to any dance-"
Esther looked over at him putting a smirk on her daughters lips "Grace will be there. I can make sure of it."
"That means nothing to me anymore, Bekah." Klaus spat he knew that Grace would never forgive him and that he wouldn't be just setting himself up for major heartbreak.
"Please, I have big plans for tonight. Just go for me." Esther begged she knew that Niklaus had a soft spot for Rebekah and he would do anything for his baby sister, he rolled his eyes signalling that he was going to go.
"See you later, babe." Grace walked into the Salvatore living room to see Damon speaking on his phone, he wiggled his fingers at her and she stepped up onto her tip toes to give him a kiss on the cheek before she vanished through the door.
"Where have you been?" Damon questioned to his best friend "I've been calling you all day."
"Yeah, sorry about that." Alaric answered there was nothing in his voice that told his friend that he had given over to his dark side "I just needed to get my head together."
"So I take it Rebekah got the stake." Damon asked in a solemn voice, he hated having to let go of the only thing that could kill those damned Originals, but he didn't want to end up killing the wrong one and ending his line of vampires.
"I don't know. I woke up alone." Alaric lied point-blank to his friend, his deal with Esther would never be known to them.
"Lovely. What now?"
"Well I think I need to get out-of-town. Somewhere secluded. I keep blacking out which means I'm still a threat to everyone." Alaric answered and as much as Damon hated to admit it he was right, but because the vampire was so stubborn he wasn't about to let him go.
"I don't know if now if the best time for you to be going on a spirit quest, Ric." He argued but Dark Alaric just scoffed.
"It's just for a couple of days. I'm stock up on Bonnie's herbs, so I should be fine. I gotta go." Alaric didn't waste anytime in hanging up.
"Quite the cunning liar." Esther announced as she sauntered over to Dark Alaric in her beautiful daughters body, he slid his phone into his pocket with a devilish smirk on his face.
"Well Damon is too arrogant to think his only friend would betray him." Alaric shrugged a bit as he looked around the room he was in, it was the one where Klaus kept all coffins.
"Just as Niklaus would blindly accept an invitation from his beloved sister, unaware that he is heading to his own death." Esther picked up the silver dagger on the side dipping it into the vial of white oak ash.
"Did you give him the stake?" Alaric questioned crossing his arms over his chest giving the witch that was trapped inside of Barbie Original's body a look.
"He burned it without hesitation." Esther answered a smirk pulling across her lips as she brushed her blasted long golden locks from her beautiful sea blue eyes.
"So where's the real one?"
"You'll get it when it can no longer be used against me in this body." Esther answered throwing him a dirty look, it was true Dark Alaric could turn on her ending her life and her daughter's life in one hit. She pulled walked over to one of the coffins popping the lid to see her own body laying inside.
"So how do you..." He didn't know how to finish the sentence, but he was curious how the witch was to get back into her real body.
"How do I return to my true form?" Esther questioned with a smirk "With a little magic and some help from a vampire hunter." She passed him the dagger and he held it in her hands before stabbing it into her chest and the blonde collapsed to the floor a few moments later Esther's true body gasped as she woke back up. The witch was back.
Caroline and Elena were preparing the gym for the 20s dance, the blonde had taken back charge when Rebekah didn't show up and he was loving it. Grace walked into the room and dropped her bag to the floor happily.
"Someone looks happy." Elena announced as she skipped over to them giving them a happy sigh as she leant against the table they were standing next to getting the decorations together.
"That's because someone had sex this morning." Caroline answered for Grace who just laughed and shrugged her shoulders "I take it you and Damon are back?"
"Yes, we're back on." She answered dreamily "And it feels so good."
"Oh my God. Are you going to start, like, singing or something." Caroline smirked a bit grabbing the other vampires hands twirling them around the dance floor "Reunited and it feels so good!" She sang loudly.
"Caroline." Grace laughed as she pulled away from her blonde friend before looking around to see everyone was looking at them both talking under their breath.
"So, what actually happened in Denver?" Elena gushed looking at her twin over the table "Was it like super romantic or what? Give us all the details!" She ordered and Grace laughed covering her face with her hands.
"It was just... So... I don't even know." Grace whispered a goofy grin on her lips "Like all of our emotions could be shown and it was just... amazing."
"Would you use the words 'earth shattering'?" Caroline teased budging Grace a bit she just giggled covering her face again "Or how adding another word... multiple?" This time both Elena and Caroline laughed as Grace nodded sheepishly
"Ok, ok, enough talking about my love life." Grace ordered trying to cool the fire in her cheeks as she looked around the gym to see that everyone was busy decorating to make it look like the 20s.
"Yeah, let's never talk about Denver again." Jeremy ordered from where he was stood on a ladder looking over at Grace who was blushing heavily.
"Look, I'm really sorry about that Jer-"
"What are you doing!?" Caroline shrieked as she stalked over to both Matt and Jeremy who were hanging decorative stars from the ceiling "You can't just hang them! They're supposed to trickle down!"
Both Jeremy and Matt exchanged a look with each other, a smirk pulling over their lips "Trickle, duh!" Matt mocked her and she shot him a look before smiling a bit.
"Look at them all bromancy." Caroline cooed as both Elena and Grace walked over to the blonde vampire who stood with a clipboard in front of her.
"Yeah I asked Matt to help Jeremy readjust. He got him his old job back at the grill." Elena answered and Grace smiled a bit.
"That's really great." Grace smiled rubbing Elena's back kindly "It will be good to get him his old life back to normal..."
"Jeremy has a lot on his mind." Elena added and the two vampires nodded understandingly, he was so young to have to be going through all this pain and heartache "The whole thing with Alaric has got him really stressed out."
"You sure it has nothing to do with witnessing Grace and Damon getting hot and heavy in a motel room next to him?" Caroline looked over at the young brunette who groaned covering her face shaking her head.
"I'm never going to leave this down, am I?"
"Aww, what are friends for?" Caroline smiled a little budging Grace once again "So who are you two taking to the dance?"
"What do you mean?" Elena looked over at them both in surprise "I thought we were all going as girl dates with Bonnie." She looked between them.
"Hm, Bonnie has a date." Caroline answered with a cheeky look, Grace cock an eye brow looking at the blonde suspiciously.
"Who?"
"Jamie called and wanted to see her so she asked him." Caroline answered and Elena nodded a bit accepting the fact that Bonnie was off-limits tonight, Grace creased her eye brows mouthing 'who's Jamie' to Elena "So here's a thought, why don't you ask Stefan?"
"Oh, I-I don't know." Elena stuttered a bit and Grace grinned at her nervousness exchanging a look with the blonde vampire "What?"
"C'mon, you totally still love him. This... This could be it, Elena. This could be your chance for you two to get back together, like it was meant to be." Grace cooed taking Elena's hand "Please ask him."
"Are you going with Damon?" Elena questioned.
"Sure, if I can drag him there then why not?" Grace shrugged her shoulders and the three girls hugged lovingly laughing happily "Should be fun, right?"
Elena was sat in her room looking down at her phone hesitating to call the man she still loved, the kiss they had shared the other day had been so magical and romantic, she knew she still loved him and inviting him to the dance was a good way to just spend time with him. Before she knew it she had the phone to her ear and his breath-taking voice was on the other end.
"Hey... do you, do you have a second?" Elena questioned there was a quiver to her voice, she couldn't believe she was actually nervous.
"Yeah, if everything ok?" Stefan asked a little worried and the young doppelgänger blushed when she heard the concern in his voice.
"Yeah, yeah I'm just, erm... I wanted to, uh... Caroline, Grace and I were talking about going to the dance and, erm..." She couldn't' seem to get the words she wanted out and it was so frustrating for her "Ok, look." She paused for a moment taking a breath before reopening her eyes "I know where we're at, you and I, and that kiss the other night was really great, so I was kind of hoping that maybe you and I could go to this dance tonight."
"Yeah, I'd love to." Stefan smiled to himself, cursing himself for not asking her sooner, his heart thumped with joy as he heard her let out a breath of relief.
"Oh." She was almost surprised "Alright then, great. Bye." She hung up punching the air happily before falling back onto the bed.
Stefan smiled to himself before he looked up and saw Grace standing there with a teasing smile holding two dresses, he rolled his eyes smirking as he looked away from the girl.
"Ohh, someones got a date..." She laughed placing her two dresses down on the back of the couch "With my sister... But still, a date!"
"When did you start living here again?" He joked playfully as she zipped over to jump on his back hanging off like a small child "Damon, your girlfriend is hanging off me! Can you come and get her."
"My God." Damon muttered as he walked into the room, he smirked as he picked Grace up and held her close to his body "What's happened?"
"I'm just happy for Stefan and Elena!" Grace gushed as she kissed her boyfriend looking up into his crystal blue eyes lovingly gnawing on her bottom lip sensually "So, Salvatore, am I going to have to ask you, or..."
"Hmm, actually I'm a little more old fashion." He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, she screamed as he walked her into their room dropping her on the bed "I won't be able to go the dance with you... But I'll meet you there, is that ok?"
"Erm..." Grace looked up into his icy blue eyes "Yeah, sure. Is everything ok?"
"Nothing you need to worry your gorgeous head about." He answered kissing her forehead "I'll treat you to an amazing home cooked meal to make up for it." Leaning his head down he brushed his lips across her waiting ones, he wanted so much to take her right here and right now but he had more pressing issues "You need to get ready and I have somewhere I need to be... I love you."
"I love you, too." Grace answered worried that Damon was being so secretive from her but taking it with a pinch of salt, he pecked her lips once and he zipped from the room closing the door behind him.
Meredith was walking down the hall of the hospital looking down at one of her new patients charts when she felt something behind her, turning she looked over her shoulder but no one was there, when she went to walk forward she saw Damon waiting there.
"Don't do that, it's not funny!" She growled at him, hitting his arm with an extremely angry look on her face, she had been so on edge since coming to this town that was heaving with supernatural activity.
"Oh, c'mon, it's a little funny." Damon smirked a little crossing his arms over his chest, she just shot him a deathly look.
"What do you want Damon?" She asked exasperated as she walked straight past him down the hall, he followed keeping up pace with her.
"I need medical advice." He answered "For a friend." She looked at him suspiciously "Alaric, you remember him right? About 6'2", tried to hack you into pieces." He joked.
"How is he?" Meredith questioned feeling guilty she hadn't seen him since the dark side of him had attacked her and left her for dead "Are those herbs Bonnie made for him working?"
"I don't know." Damon answered as he showed her the glass full of herbs Bonnie had given to make Alaric better and keep his dark highly murderous side at bay "Can they work if he doesn't take them? I found these in his loft untouched." He added and she shook her head a disappointed look on her face.
Esther and Alaric were walking through the old Mystic Falls cemetery towards a tomb that read Salvatore on the front, the history teacher glanced around a little worried about what was in store.
"Why are we here?"
"Long ago on this spot my son tore my heart from my chest." Esther referred to the fact that Klaus had ended her life long ago and then blamed in on her husband "The violence of my death marked this ground for all time." They enter the Salvatore tomb to see some items waiting, a large bowl was the first thing Alaric noticed as they both stood either side of it "I need your ring."
"Now, why would I give you the one thing that protects me from death?" Alaric countered, he had understood that Esther hadn't given him the stake when she was still in Rebekah's body, but now she wanted him to take off the only thing protecting his life from her.
"I will give you all the protection you need, however the stake with burn up in the body of its first victim. If you are to kill all of my children I will need to bind the protective magic in your ring to the stake, thus rendering the white oak indestructible." Esther countered and he slid it off his finger hesitating but handing it over.
She dropped it into the bowl with an audible clang before she started chanting the spell, flames erupt from the bowl making the ring melt under the intense flame. Stirring the melted metal with the white oak stake and then turning it upside the metal seeped down the wood, fusing and then making the stake 'immortal'
Esther held the weapon out proudly in front of her "The ultimate weapon for the ultimate hunter."
Elena was looking at herself in the mirror as she was just finishing getting ready for the dance, she was one entire bundle of nerves. The doorbell rung and she bolted down the stairs opening the door to show a very handsome looking Stefan.
"Wow, you look very dapper." She complimented giving him a loving smile and he grinned back at her.
"You look." He paused thinking about how radiant she looked, how stunning ever inch of her body was, gulping he smiled to himself "... you look extremely beautiful. Here, I got something for you." He pinned a single white rose to Elena's 20s styled dress.
"Thank you." She blushed heavily.
"So, given our dangerous dance karma, sure you're up for this?" Stefan joked a little and Elena smiled as she grabbed her purse from the side.
"Getting out of bed is dangerous these days." She countered using the same line on him as he had used on her once upon a time "But we have to live our lives."
"Hmm. Who gave you that horrible advice?" Stefan teased giving her a playful look and she just shrugged a bit.
"Some guy I used to date said it once or twice." She was just as playful as he was, they could see that they were in for a good night.
"Right." He smirked a bit.
"Shall we."
"Please." He held his arm out for her to catch onto as they walked towards his car, she couldn't wait to get there, she always loved going to the decade dance with Stefan, they always had the best time.
The dance was in full swing with all the students up on the dance floor dancing as best as they could to the old style of swing music. Bonnie and Jamie were dancing happily in the middle of the floor whilst Caroline stood off to the sidelines with Grace.
They were both dressed to impress with Caroline dressed in a crystal white flapper dress and when she swayed to the music the tassels would move with her. And Grace was also wearing a flapper dress but in a raven black colour and lined with sequins.
"Care, you did a really great job." Grace noted as she poured some vodka into her and her blonde vampire friends drink, they clinked their cup together smiling devilishly.
"I know." She grinned smugly as she glanced around the room "I just hope to God that we get no surprise visits from the damned Originals tonight. I have seriously had enough of them-"
"Oh my God." Grace muttered as she looked across the room "Care, that's... that's Tyler! When did he get back?"
"I know." Caroline gushed clasping her hands together as she looked over dreamily at her man who was waiting for her dressed in a smart black 20s suit "But if Klaus knows he's here... Then..."
"What's happened, Caroline?" She saw the way that both Tyler and Caroline were looking at each other with so much love and admiration "You know what? Go and see him."
"Are you sure? I can wait here for when Damon get's here-"
"No need." A deep voice rumbled from behind her, the younger brunette turned and saw her gorgeous blue eyes vampire waiting for her and she walked over hugging him. "We need to grab your sister and my brother and we all need speak now." Damon's voice was filled with a level of seriousness that made her shiver looking up at him worried.
Luckily Stefan and Elena had already arrived at the dance and were slow dancing with each other, it was so romantic and so intimate Grace hated to have to split it up, but when Damon told them the problem out in the hall way, about Alaric not taking the magic herbs Bonnie had given to heal him then she decided it was a good idea.
"If Alaric is sick then we need to find a cure." Elena announced she was going to protect this man until she died, he was so important in her life and they had both gone through so much to just lose him to this damned darkness now.
"We tried medicine, we tried magic." Damon listed all the things they done to try to end this hold over Alaric, but nothing seemed to be working.
"Why don't we get him off vervain, compel him?" Stefan suggested but his older brother just shook his head in response.
"What to pretend to be Alaric? The guy that we know is gone." Damon growled and it hurt him more than anyone to admit that, the history teacher was his best friend, maybe his only true friend apart from Grace and he hated the thought of losing him "We're talking about someone who not only hates vampires." He rubbed Grace's lower back gently "but vampire sympathisers too." He glanced over at Elena.
"Y-You really think he'd go after Elena?" There was a level of uncertainty and concern in his voice which made both the young vampire and the doppelgänger smile.
"So wait, what are you suggesting we do?" Grace questioned looking up at her lover with a questionable look in her dark chocolate-brown orbs.
"I'm suggesting that we put him out of his misery." He answered in a solemn voice everyone looked over at him at in complete silence, how could he even suggest that.
"What?!" Elena shrieked when suddenly Jeremy stepped out of the darkness he had heard their whole conversation and was upset by it all, were they seriously planning on killing Alaric.
"No, no way in hell!" Jeremy told Damon in a firm voice and he just rolled his eyes in response, it would be easier for a vampire to deal with this kind of situation, they already lost a lot of people, but Jeremy was so young, he had already experienced so much pain.
"Oh come on, it's what he would want. It's a mercy killing." Damon tried to justify killing poor Alaric, the doppelgänger looked over with a pleading look in her eyes at Grace, if anyone could hold him off it would be the pretty brunette.
"You are out of your mind!" Jeremy roared squaring up to the oldest vampire who just growled in response, Grace turned and pressed her hands to Damon's chest warning him off he stared down at her with an emotionless look on his face, he wouldn't hurt the kid and she knew that, but just to be safe.
Turning on his heels Jeremy walked from the school with a sinister look on his face, Grace exchanged a look with Elena and the bolted after him calling his name to get his attention.
"Jer, stop..." Grace called as she caught up with him, not even at supernatural speed, but being a vampire did help her move faster, her doppelgänger sister wasn't far behind as they caught up with him.
"This is Alaric we're talking about!" Jeremy growled clenching his hands into fists "He looked out for us, now we need to do the same for him." He added and Grace looked over her shoulder at Elena, they needed to be alone.
"'Lena, I'll, uh, I'll leave this to you." Grace muttered as she turned on her heels and walked back into the gym placing nervously with her long chocolate-brown locks.
"No one is going to hurt him." Elena assured him but her young brother just turned and was about to storm off once again, she caught his wrist making him turn this time "Hey. Hey... look at me. I promise." She whispered when suddenly she saw a shadow next to her, glancing over she saw the Original witch standing there.
"Elena." She called and the young doppelgänger stiffened her chocolate-brown eyes wide as she saw her "If you wish to help your friend Alaric, I suggest you come with me."
"Jeremy, go inside and get Stefan and Grace, now!" Elena ordered and her brother didn't hesitate he bolted inside trying to find one of the vampires that could help her against this crazy old witch.
"I mean you no harm." Esther assured her in a calm tone holding her hand out to the girl "But willingly or not you will come." Elena's face creased with thought as she stepped out and took her hand.
"Grace!" Jeremy called as he saw Damon and Grace dancing intimately, so close and romantic she jolted when she heard her name being called.
"What's wrong?" Grace pulled away from her lover and he growled a bit, he longed to hold her closer but by Jeremy's tone she knew something was going on.
"It's Esther." Jeremy rasped from where he had run around trying to find them "Esther is outside with Elena." He answered and with that they all ran outside finding Stefan on the way.
As they reached the front of the school they were to run out but they were block by an invisible barrier, only Jeremy could get through, he turned to them to give them a 'come on' look, but none of them were able to continue running.
"Salt." Stefan muttered as he saw a thick line on the ground preventing them from going forward "It's the binding agent for her spell."
"So, we're trapped in the school?" Grace questioned pressing her hands to the barrier, she didn't need an answer from them she cursed under her breath as she turned around.
Bonnie and Jamie were both together in one of the old English rooms, it was getting a little hot in the gym and they both figured they needed a breather, a time-out to catch their breaths and relax for a moment.
"You had all kinds of moves out there." Bonnie grinned over at him, he shrugged a little trying to be modest, but he knew he was a good dancer.
"Oh yeah, I was just you know... trying to make a good impression." Jamie shrugged his shoulders slightly gnawing on his bottom lip.
"Well, consider me impressed." Bonnie answered flirtatiously with a small smile pulling over her crimson red lips.
"Your friends seem pretty cool. You know, Caroline, Elena. I like them." Jamie smiled a bit, he had yet to meet the other vampire Bonnie had told him about, Grace, but he was never really a fan of vampires, he was only just content with the blonde.
"Yeah, they're the most important thing in the world to me." Bonnie answered with a bright smile, she loved her friends so much and would do anything for them.
"Though you got to admit this world circle of people it's kinda crazy. I mean there are vampires, werewolves, hybrids... ex-boyfriends with magic rings. I mean, I'm just a normal guy." Jamie shrugged his shoulders giving her a sly look.
"A normal guy wouldn't have said yet to a date with me." Bonnie answered a small blush crawling over her cheeks.
"Yeah, that's true." Jamie answered leaning in close to her, just her natural sweet scent drove him wild, everything about her drove him wild, he was falling madly in love with her, she connected their lips without a second thought.
Damon entered the room with Grace by his side, she gasped as the older vampire reached over to turn on the light.
"Sorry to spoil your seven minutes in heaven. We have a problem." Damon informed both the teens who were giving him the filthiest looks.
Elena and Esther arrive at the Salvatore tomb the doppelgänger had a bad feeling about this, in the pit of her stomach she knew something was wrong, or that something was wrong with Ric, maybe he was hurt, but her train of thought was cut short when Esther began to speak.
"You'll forgive me for taking you from the dance this evening. That's the burden of being the doppelgänger, I'm afraid. Your blood is a potent binding agent for a witch's spell." Esther informed her in a subtle calming voice.
"Just please don't hurt Alaric." Elena begged close to tears, the thought of Alaric being taken hostage by Esther sent shivers down her spine.
"She's not hurting me." The history teacher stepped out of the shadows with a deadly look in his eyes, Elena ran towards him relieved to see him alive and ok, but stopped when she felt his presence was so dark and cold.
"What's going on? What are you doing with him?" Elena questioned looking over to the witch who showed no emotion.
"I'm going to remake him." She answered.
"Remake him?"
"Make him strong, fast, like my children." Esther replied stepping around the two a dark smile pulling across her lips "Indestructible. For one final time I'm going to tap into the dark magic I used a thousand years ago. Like my husband Mikael before him I will make Alaric into a true hunter, a vampire to end all vampires." She added.
"You can't create another Original. What if he turns out to be an even bigger monster than your children?" Elena looked over at the mother who had a solemn look in her eyes.
"He won't now that he has embraced his darkest aspect; his hated for them will become more pure and uncompromising. In death that hatred will be magnified." Esther almost boasted about her new creation.
"You don't know that, you don't know anything about him!" Elena shrieked tears lining her vision, she couldn't believe this was going to happen.
"That is where you are wrong." Esther answered keeping calm around the hysterical girl "Each time he died with that ring during his brief journey into death I was there on The Other Side. I spoke to him, I nurtured him knowing that every death brought him closer to his true self. Vampires took everything from him. Now he's getting vengeance."
Grace and Damon were walking hand in hand in the gym she was freaking out due to her sister being stolen by the crazy Original witch and the raven haired vampire, he hugged her tight and that told her everything was going to be ok.
"Isn't this adorable." Klaus' spiteful voice came from beside them, pulling away as quick as she could she looked into the terrifying mixed coloured eyes of the Original "The couple of the century is back, it seems."
"And happier than ever." Damon added making the Original growl in response both of the squaring up to each other, Grace stood in between them quickly, pushing against each of their chest making them move away from each other.
"How can you be with him?" Klaus growled at her narrowing his mixed colour orbs "He cheated on you with my sister, if I need to remind you! He doesn't deserve you!"
"I love him, Klaus." Grace's voice was small as she looked down at her feet before looking up into his eyes with a deathly look "You're the one that doesn't deserve me." She growled and Damon smiled a bit "You beat me up because I lied to you... I can never trust you again-"
"The feelings mutual." Klaus answered taking a step towards her "Did you ever stop to wonder why I was so angry? Because at the very moment you chose to lie to me about those stakes, the stakes that could end my life, you chose Damon." He paused for a moment "Look at me and tell me I'm wrong."
She glanced down at her heels for a moment before looking back up into his waiting orbs "You're right." She whispered nodding her head holding back the tears that threatened to fall.
"Was there ever a point when you did like me?" Klaus questioned looking over at her "Or was our night together just a filler until you and Damon got back together."
"You surprised me. You scare me, a lot." Grace whispered looking up at him "You're love for your family made me feel... admiration." She paused for a moment taking a breath "But I didn't love you, Niklaus. I'm sorry."
"I see." Klaus nodded before looking at the raven haired vampire who couldn't even have a smug look on his face, he felt so much pity for the man, this situation could have easily been reversed if him and Grace had never had worked it out "The moment you slip up again, and you will slip up, Damon. I will be there."
"I won't." Damon told him wrapping his arm around Grace's tiny waist pulling her close to him, feeling such a swelling, loving feeling in his heart for her, she had made her last discussion and chosen him "I love her too much."
"Just to let you both know. I'm leaving tomorrow." Klaus changed the subject and they looked at him surprised "I would invite you to come with me, but we both know you're not ready to accept my offer." He looked over at Grace who shook her head, he would never give up "Perhaps one day you'll turn up at my door, but until then, have fun with your Salvatore." He walked away from them both his heart aching in his chest.
"My God." Grace whispered as she turned into Damon's chest and he hugged her as tight as he could without hurting her "I love you."
"I love you, too." The raven haired vampire whispered kissing the top of her heart lovingly "I will never leave you again."
"I'll hold you to that, Salvatore."
Klaus was storming out of the school talking to Rebekah's voicemail, he had only been here to speak with Grace and because his young sister had begged him to come.
"Rebekah, call me back immediately!" Klaus growled as he held his phone to his ear "I only came tot his ridiculous dance because you begged me to and now you're nowhere to be found." He shoved his phone back into his pocket and stopped when he saw the tick line of salt "What is this?"
"Your mother is back." Stefan appeared behind him, his hands tucked away into the pocket of his blazer.
Several candles were lit as Bonnie stood next to them chanting under her breath, Damon was stood next to Grace, hand in hand Stefan, Klaus and Jamie were also in there watching her trying to preform the spell.
"She does this all the time, right?" Jamie questioned cautiously, he knew how dangerous magic could be, how tolling it could be on witches.
"She'll be fine, she does this all the time." Grace confirmed when no one else spoke, Bonnie concentrated harder on removing the spell that kept all the vampires locked it, but nothing seemed to be working.
"What's taking so long?" Klaus questioned becoming impatient "All boundary spells have a loop-hole." He informed him as the door opened behind them Jeremy and Matt both entered the room.
"People are walking right out of the dance, past the barrier." The young busboy informed them all, Jeremy nodded confirming.
"Matt and I can leave, we can stop Esther ourselves." Jeremy informed them all and Grace smirked under her breath "We just got to figure out where she is." He added ignoring the youngest vampire completely.
"Jer, she's a witch. A very powerful, very old witch. It would be suicide." Grace told him firmly crossing her arms over her chest when suddenly Klaus zipped across the room grabbing young Jamie by the throat holding him in the air.
"Suicide would be disappointing me." Klaus countered in a low voice tightening his grip "Now work your magic, witch, or I'll start killing people you fancy."
"Let him go!" Bonnie ordered in a deathly voice, she didn't want to see anyone get hurt, especially someone as innocent as Jamie, he was like a little puppy dog caught up in all of this, now he was being strangled and his life was being threatened by a crazy hybrid.
"Not until you get us out of here." The hybrid ordered looking up into the pleading eyes of Jamie, he choked and spluttered as Klaus tightened his hand.
"Klaus, let him go." Grace ordered stepping forward, the raven haired vampire clutched her hand tightly not wanting her to get hurt again, the hybrid had already turned on her once, almost killing her, and if that meant putting Jamie's life over her life then so be it.
"Don't be stupid, Klaus." Stefan stepped forwards with a husky tone "Bonnie doesn't give a damn about us. The only reason she's helping us now is to save Caroline and Tyler. You start killing the people she cares about, she'll tell us all to go to hell." He put his point across and it was enough to make the hybrid see sense and drop Jamie from his hold.
Esther was standing in the centre of the Salvatore Tomb using a stone table to light some candles whilst Elena and Alaric waited in the sidelines.
"Ric, this isn't what you want. It's not who you are." Elena whispered looking over at him, she knew he must have had a hatred towards Vampires, they had taken so many people he loved away from him, but he couldn't end a whole bloodline of vampires, it just wasn't him.
"You don't know who I am, Elena." Dark Alaric countered with death written in his eyes, he knew what he wanted, he wanted all the pain of vampire and hybrids to be gone from the world, he wanted to purify this world to be good and humanity to be safe "You only know the weakest parts of me, the man who lost his way befriending vampires instead of killing them."
"You don't mean that." Elena rasped with tears lining her eyes, he loved Grace like he loved Elena, his daughters, Damon was his best friend, him and Stefan were really close, Caroline was like family to him, too. This wasn't him. This wasn't right.
"They're all monsters. The blood of their victims is on my hands. Jenna's blood is on my hands." he growled in response, he had loved Jenna so much, she had filled the hole that his vampire wife Isobel had caused and then she was taken from him so quickly.
"When you are ready." Esther called informing them that she was ready to dive into this black magic and make Alaric one of them.
"No Ric, please don't." Elena begged, she didn't want to lose her family, she didn't want to lose her lover or her sister "Don't do this." She pleaded before stiffening her bottom lip "I won't help you, I'm not going to give you my blood, you're going to have to kill me!"
"That won't be necessary." Esther answered as she flicked her wrist at Elena whose face began to crease up in pain as her hand split open, blood spilling over the fresh wound. The witch grabbed her wrist and made the blood trickle into the bowl that had been used to melt Alaric's ring earlier.
"Drink." Esther ordered in a low tone "And let it be done."
"No, Ric, please don't!" Elena screamed trying to plead with this dark man, but he wasn't listening and picked up the bowl holding it to his lips "No!"
He tipped the bowl up and drank the blood, it was an unusually sensation a copper metallic taste left in his mouth, he didn't like it, but with the transformation about to take place he was sure he was going to get used to it.
"Is it finished?" Alaric questioned, he had a feeling it wasn't over it, he didn't feel any different, his hatred for vampires was still there, but the strength, speed and everything that came with it wasn't there.
"Not just yet." Esther answered confirming his assumptions then suddenly she shoved the indestructible white oak stake into his chest killing him and beginning the transformation into vampire.
Elena screamed watching the history teacher his the floor with a thud "No!"
Bonnie stalked into a Geography class room ripping a map of Mystic Falls off the wall and placed it on the teacher's desk looking at it for a moment before Grace, Damon and Klaus enter the room following her.
"I need your blood." Bonnie looked over at Grace who nodded a little "Jeremy's blood will be strong, but considering your Elena's twin it shouldn't take as long." She added as the young vampire extended her fangs gnawing down into her own wrist before spilling it into the middle of the page.
"Is that enough?" Grace questioned drying the blood away from her mouth, the witch nodded in response before looking over at the two male vampires who were staring each other down intently.
"I have to do this with those two lurking over me?" The young witch questioned as she pressed her hands to the table.
"You're still mad at me for what happened to Abby." Damon nodded understandingly "Let me apologise; I'm sorry Elijah forced us to turn your mother into a vampire to save Elena' life. Didn't exactly have a choice." His voice was deeply sarcastic and both Bonnie and Grace shot him a look.
"There's always a choice. Whenever you make one someone else suffers." Bonnie answered in a sinister voice, the Original rolled his eyes fed up with their petty differences.
"Let's cut the dramatics and begin, shall we?" Klaus suggested in a low tone and Bonnie closed her eyes beginning to chant the spell, nothing was happening, the blood wasn't moving at all, it was just a circular pool on the page.
"Esther is fighting me." Bonnie creased her eye brows continuing to try to chant, but nothing seemed to be working, she gave up and opened her eyes.
"Esther couldn't possibly have this much power." Klaus muttered rubbing his chin with the palm of his hands thinking about the reason why his mother had so much power "Unless she's channeling something."
"A hotspot?" Bonnie suggested in a fairly scared tone, she knew what it was like to have all that power all at once and she was a young witch, so a 1000 year old witch like Esther having that much power was so dangerous.
"Get the humans ready, I know where she is."
Elena knelt down and yanked the stake out of Alaric's chest dropping it to the floor looking at his lifeless body, he was going to wake up a vampire, a vampire that was going to hunt down and kill everyone she loved and kill them all without a second thought.
"He'll wake soon." Esther informed the young doppelgänger "When he does he may for a time be his old self. If so you can say your goodbyes before his transition is complete." She told her in a calm voice like it was a privilege for Elena to see this man one more time before he went on a rampage killing all vampires, all her family, her lover.
"You said you wanted to undo the evil that you create, but this... this is just as evil." She hissed looking down at poor Alaric, just a victim of supernatural circumstance, it wasn't his fault that he fell in love with Isobel, who turned into a vampire and then was led to Mystic Falls to hunt down Damon and then just got caught in the supernatural we that he couldn't untangle himself from.
"Alaric will never be what my children became." Esther answered her in a sure tone "I have granted him enough power to complete his task. Then when the time is right, he will die." She confirmed and the doppelgänger looked on with a horrific look on her face.
"How if he's immortal-"
"All you need to know is that when this is over we will have ride the Earth of vampires once and for all." Esther told her in a confident voice like it was a good thing getting rid of the vampires, not thinking of the other side of things, all the vampires that would die and leave their 'families'.
"Yeah, but you'll be killing the good along with the bad, you're no better than Klaus!" Elena roared and Esther gritted her teeth for a moment, she would never be the monster that she called her son.
"Am I not?" Esther questioned "I desire a world where you and your loved ones will not suffer at the hands on vampires, like your Aunt Jenna did-"
"Don't you dare use Jenna as an excuse for what you've done." Elena growled, now she was pissed how dare she even try and use Jenna's death against vampires in general, Klaus was the one who killed her, he was being held responsible, Jenna's blood was on his hands.
"You may draw comfort knowing that your Aunt is not in the place that I was. She doesn't know the torment of The Other Side. Though made a vampire, she remained pure. She knows peace. Which is all any of us can hope for." A noise erupted from outside and Esther walked out of the tomb to see Matt standing there with his hunting rifle and Jeremy standing there with one of Alaric's crossbows pointing directly at her.
"Don't move!" Matt ordered in a low voice his gun wasn't even shaking in his hand, so confident that he could kill this witch.
"Where's Elena!?" Jeremy ordered and the doppelgänger walked from the tomb to see them both there, she was so surprised to see them, they must have had a death wish coming here.
"Jeremy!"
"Let her go!" Jeremy ordered looking through the crosshair of his weapon aiming it directly at her heart.
"How foolish of you, to risk your lives in defence of those who will kill you. But if that is your choice." Esther concentrated hard and both Jeremy and Matt were forced to face each other weapons and all.
"Matt! Matt drop your gun!" Jeremy yelled, his crossbow seemed to be gulled to his hand, the last thing he wanted was to shot the door Donovan.
"I can't! I'm not controlling it!" Matt answered looking at Jeremy with a look filled with sorrow.
Alaric appeared behind Esther and shoved the the indestructible white oak stake into her back killing her off once and for all.
"Oh my God." Alaric muttered looking at his hand "Where's my ring? Tell me what happened."
Just outside of Mystic Falls high Klaus was pacing the boundary line and Stefan stood behind him waiting for confirmation from Bonnie that she had removed the spell.
"You know this is your fault." Klaus looked over his shoulder at the younger Salvatore "You set us on this path when you released my mother. I wonder if revenge will prove worth the cost." He added in a voice full of scorn.
"Oh, I'm done with revenge. As far as Esther; we've stopped her before, we'll stop her again." Stefan answered as if it was that easy.
"We're strange bad fellows, you and I." Klaus informed him turning fully to face him "You know, all of this, reminds me of our time together in the 20s." He smirked a little remembering what it was like.
"You say that like I'm supposed to have happy memories."
"Well, there were moments. Real friends." Klaus smiled to himself remembering how close they both were "Brotherhood."
"Well, he already has a brother." Damon walked out of the building with Grace walking after him with a wary look on her face, she didn't want a fight, she just wanted Klaus to leave for good "Not to be, you know, territorial or anything."
"Oh no, of course, the Salvatore's. And their unshaken bond." He glanced over at poor Grace who was stood back just thinking to herself "Poor girl, she's been though so much in such a short amount of time. Fires, death, pain, love ache Didn't you both vow to protect her from that kind of stuff?"
"Well, most of the pain was caused by you." Damon countered with a spiteful look in his eyes "And I wouldn't even put it past you that the first fire in her life was all down to you, too."
"How dare you, if I hadn't gone in that house to save her, she wouldn't be here now, choosing you, over me. The man who saved her!" Klaus growled as he went to attack the Salvatore, but Bonnie walked out looking at the four vampires.
"It's done." The witch confirmed "Esther's not fighting me anymore. The boundary spell is broken."
"Thank you, Bonnie. For everything." Grace smiled at her friend, but the witch just shunned her giving her one nod before turning back into the school, Klaus didn't waste anytime in zipping away from the school towards where his mother was.
"Gracie." Damon walked over to her feeling her pain, he knew it was his fault that her relationship with Bonnie had gone to ruins, because he was the one that turned her mother into a vampire. Just hugging her tight was all he could do for her at the moment.
When they all arrived at the Salvatore Tomb, Jeremy lead Grace back to see Alaric who smiled gratefully, now the 'Gilbert' family was all in one place, one final goodbye to his closest family.
"Klaus took Esther's body." Grace informed them as the tomb fell silent, Elena nodded giving Grace a look and she just shook her head, there must had been mascara lines down her face from where she had been so hurt by Bonnie's cold shoulder.
"Does he know about the stake?" Alaric questioned in a careful voice, it was best that the hybrid original didn't know about the weapon that could destroy him.
"No, only that she tried to turn you into a weapon and failed." Grace answered seeing the equally sad look on everyone else face, they should have been somewhat happy, the crazy Original witch was dead and Alaric was ok "What's going on?"
"Listen, I'm not going to complete the transition." Alaric informed both Jeremy and Grace who stiffened at the news "My dark side was dangerous enough as a human. I can't be a vampire."
"So, what we're just going to lock you in here and let you!?" Jeremy growled, they couldn't just turn their backs on the poor man when they didn't respond he went into hysterics "No, no we can't!"
"This is crazy talk!" Grace looked at him but his mind was made up she shook her head, Damon would need his best friend, his drinking buddy "Please don't do this."
"It's the right thing to do, ok." Alaric told them both in a thick voice "After everything that's happened, after all that I have done. Maybe I had it coming." he added it took Jeremy a moment to process everything and when he did he headed straight for the door, Elena grabbed Grace hugging her tight.
"Hey, wait, Jer... Alaric this isn't your fault." Grace told him firmly, it wasn't his fault that he had a crazy murdering alter ego.
"Please, you guys let's not make this any harder than it already is. You three should go. Damon's here. He'll make sure it'll all go down the right way." Alaric nodded at them all, Jeremy was first to try to leave but the history teacher called him over.
"Don't." Jeremy whispered "Don't give me some crap speech about how I need to be the man of the house."
"Ok. I won't." Alaric confirmed pulling the young boy into a hug, Jeremy felt like he was hugging his father for the last time and squeezed as hard as he could before walking out of the tomb quickly.
"This is all my fault." Elena rasped "You moved out, you gave me your ring back, you didn't want any part of this and I, I forced you to stay and take care of us." She whimpered as she began to cry.
"Don't do that, ok. Taking care of you, Jeremy and Grace has been... had been the closest I've ever come to the life I always wanted." Alaric smiled before he hugged the doppelgänger she hugged back as hard as she could before leaving.
"Alaric-"
"Don't, Grace." He told her in a calm voice "I don't need any self loathing from you too, why I do need is for you to be strong for them. For Damon." He placed his hands on her shoulders looking deeply into her liquid chocolate brown orbs "You need to look out for them all, it's a lot to ask and put on your shoulders, but they need to come first over everything. All of them."
"I know." Grace whispered as she dried her tears trying to stay strong for everyone including the vampire hunter, he pulled her into a tight hug before letting her go and they walked out to face the music.
Waiting outside the group had gather being lit by candles, the history teacher smiled to himself as he looked through the crowd. So many bonds. So many relationships. So many loyalties.
First Stefan stood holding his love Elena as she sobbed watching poor Alaric who was about to lose his life for the final time. They were meant to be, just from the way they spoke to each other, looked at each other, down to the last detail.
Next Damon stood with Grace, arm wrapped around her tiny waist as they both gave him a solemn look, they had matured each other, the raven haired vampire wasn't so impulsive and violent and she was older and wiser, they made each other strong even through the darkest of situations, both still had a long way to go, but with each other they would find the way, Alaric was sure of it.
Caroline and Tyler stood next their love was so strong it could bulldoze it's way through a sire bond to a crazy Original hybrid and come out the other side still madly in love.
Matt stood next on his own, he always felt on his own, but making friends within this group wouldn't be hard, he had Jeremy, he had Elena, they would always be there for him no matter what came their way.
Then there was dear Bonnie, the only witch of the group, she would do anything for anyone, gladly die for her friends. She was a servant to nature, but she loved it all the more because she knew she was doing good.
Jeremy was next, Alaric could barely look at him without shedding a tear, yet another father figure in his life was leaving him he saw the young teen touch his face and knew he was crying with the teacher.
Finally was Meredith, the new love of his life, he felt sad leaving her behind in this world on her own but knew she would be able to kick ass if she needed to. Giving her a sublet smile more tears poured down her face that she just couldn't stop.
Exchanging a final look with them all he turned and walked back into the Salvatore tomb closing the door firmly shut behind him letting the tears finally fall where none of his family could see.
Bonnie and Jamie enter her house late at night, she reached over and flicked on the light glancing around her empty house, she had never felt so lonely with her Grams gone, her mother gone awol again and her father was out of town.
"Thanks for the ride home." Bonnie smiled gratefully at him, the pain of loosing Alaric was still there, she hated that she could do nothing to stop this curse from killing him.
"No problem." Jamie answered rubbing the back of his head "You know there's nothing you could have done, right?"
"I know." Bonnie admitted defeat in a small voice "But it doesn't make it any easier."
"I should have said this before, but thank you for protecting me." Jamie nodded at her and she just shrugged her shoulders tears lining her vision.
"Apparently, it's what I do."
"You really are pretty amazing." He complimented her placing his hand on her shoulder but she just looked down at the floor.
"Sometimes I think I'd settle for just ordinary." Bonnie answered turning around about to walk further into the empty house but Jamie's voice stopped her.
"You said your Dad's out of town, right?" Jamie questioned and the witch didn't look at him but nodded anyway "You going to be ok by yourself?"
"No." Bonnie whispered her voice broke as the tears began to fall "I don't think I am."
Grace stumbled tiredly into the empty Salvatore Boarding house with a mournful look on her face as she walked into the parlour room grabbing Damon's best bottle of bourbon, unscrewing the top she threw it to the floor and began to drink it, trying to extinguish the pain in her chest.
She began to sob as she fell to her knees covering her eyes, she had never felt so alone in a big old house, she need Damon to hug her and tell her everything was going to be ok, but that wasn't going to happen for a while.
Alaric was right, she needed to be strong for her family, but that didn't mean she wasn't allowed to cry when they were not around. Pulling her knees into her chest hugging them close she sat back against the wall gasping for air as she continued to sob, large tears rolling down her cheeks.
Inside of the Grill the lights flickered on as Jeremy and Matt entered, the older teen walked behind the bar and grabbed two shot glasses and some old whiskey pouring them both as the Gilbert boy sat the other side of the bar.
"Mr. Saltzman." Matt held up his shot glass as Jeremy grabbed his shot too.
"Alaric." Jeremy corrected as they clinked their glasses together pouring the drink back, Matt didn't fail to see the single tear that rolled down the young boys cheek which he quickly whipped away giving him a wavering smile.
Elena was cleaning up Alaric's vampire hunter gear from the history class room at relentless pace whilst Stefan watched waiting for her to calm down.
"We can handle this later you know." Stefan suggested it must be so hard for her to come to terms with Alaric actually being gone, but then to clear any knowledge that he was ever there must had been brutal.
"No, I'd rather get it over with now before some janitor comes to clean out Alaric's stuff and realises the history teacher was a vampire slayer." Elena answered trying to keep her voice level but she couldn't she was too upset.
"Elena. Hey, Elena, please." Stefan caught her carefully by her shoulders but she just backed away from him.
"I can't Stefan, ok? I can't think about the fact that Jeremy and I don't have anyone to take care of us anymore or that we've lost another friend, I just, I can't think about any of it." Elena whispered as tears threatened to fall.
"I want you to come with me." He held out his hand for her.
"I'm not done!" Elena answered as she turned around but looked over his shoulder to see his pleading puppy dog eyes.
"Hey, please." He answered and without a second thought she slipped her hand into his and he led her though to the empty gym "We were in this gym the night Klaus compelled me to turn my feelings off. I thought I hit rock bottom in the 20s, but after I bit you I never wanted to feel anything again." He admitted in a low tone "But someone... kept telling me that it was ok to feel. No matter how much it hurt. That out emotions are what makes us human, good or bad, and never to lose hope." He brushed his finger tips over her cheek.
"Who gave you that horrible advice?" Elena whispered a single tear falling down her cheek which he was quick to dry with his thumb.
"Just some girl I used to date." Stefan answered with a small joking smile but Elena couldn't joke at the moment her heart hurt too much.
"I don't have any one anymore." Elena whimpered looking down at her feet but he placed a finger under her chin and lifted to look in her chocolate-brown eyes lovingly.
"You have me." Stefan confirmed as he pressed his lips to hers, she gasped and knotted her finger in his light brown hair pulling him closer, loving his warmth and his touch once again. She loved him. Forever and always.
Damon was outside of the vampire tomb holding the white oak stake and a bottle of whiskey in the other when he heard Meredith approach him closing the door tot he tomb behind her where she had just been in to visit Alaric.
"I gave him a sedative. He'll fall asleep first. He'll go comfortable." Meredith informed him it was the most humane thing that she could do for him so that he would die 'naturally'.
"Well... I offered to snap his neck, put him out of his misery, but... he didn't take me up on it." Damon answered and Meredith wasn't even sure if he was being sarcastic, the seriousness in his icy blue orbs told her otherwise.
"You seem surprised."
"Well, you just think a guy so used to dying, wouldn't want to drag it out." Damon shrugged his shoulders as he drank more of the whiskey.
"Well, it was nice of you to give him the option." Meredith tried to find the light in his extremely dark killing of Alaric.
"Yeah..."
"You shouldn't leave him alone in there." Meredith lowered her voice not knowing is Alaric would be able to hear them or not.
"That's what he wants-"
"Is it really what you think he wants?" Meredith questioned cocking her eye brow before walking away leaving Damon to ponder before entering the tomb.
Alaric looked in bad way, sweating a tired look all over his features as he slumped down against the wall, looking up as Damon entered the room "Aw, Ric." The vampire shook his head as he took a seat next to him.
"Is this the part where you give me a dream? Rainbows and rolling green hills?" He mocked Rose's dream Damon had given her "Or are we going for a more sensual dream like with Grace, screwing on the kitchen counter." He joked before coughing.
"So glad Grace isn't here now, she'd kill me for telling you that." Damon chuckled to himself before opening the whiskey "Plus, I told you that when I was drunk."
"Yeah and I told you I'd use them both against you." Alaric smirked a bit giving him a cheeky look.
"Damn you." Damon muttered "Sorry I killed you. Twice."
"So I have to actually die to get a real apology out of you." Alaric smirked as the vampire held the bottle of whiskey out to him.
"Drink." Damon ordered but Alaric refused shaking his head
"Actually, I've been thinking about cutting back." He informed the raven haired vampire in a joking tone.
"Ha, yeah! This stuff with kill ya." Damon noted the irony in the situation and Alaric took the bottle swigging at it as a tear rolled down his cheek.
Bonnie's Dream
Bonnie was asleep with Jamie in the bed next to her when suddenly she was awoken up a voice, a presence, when she opened her eyes she saw the ghost of Esther standing at the end of her bed with a sinister smile on her lips.
"Your sisters need you to finish what I started, Bonnie." Esther announced.
Jamie noticed that Bonnie was moving a lot in her sleep as they both lay in her bed, he shook her and she gasped as she awake from her dream of seeing Esther Mikaelson.
"Bonnie, I think you were having a bad dream." Jamie informed her and she nodded as she closed her eyes once more and he did the same.
Damon watched Alaric who was now unconscious let out his last breath, finishing the rest of the whiskey he placed it on the floor next to his body before exiting the tomb to see Bonnie approaching with a dark, glassy look in her light brown eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Damon questioned the witch fairly drunk "Hey Bonnie, what are you sleepwalking or something?" She continued not to answer him and continue walking towards the tomb were Alaric was "Bonnie?"
She lifted her hand and Damon fell to the floor holding his head in pain calling out, Bonnie walked into the tomb and cut her hand with the indestructible white oak stake feeding her blood to Alaric. His eyes suddenly opened and he tore into her neck with his new vampire teeth.
