Chapter 3! I don't own VD
I had just finished putting my hair up and doing my makeup when the doorbell rang. Stefan called up telling me that Klaus was here. I put my dress on, the feather in my hair, and my shoes, I looked almost exactly like I did the night I met Klaus. I came down the stairs and everyone was there waiting, except Bekah. Klaus said she had some last minute finishing touches to do and that she would meet them there. We got to the party a little later than everyone else, Klaus and I went to the Grill and got a drink before heading to the dance.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Klaus said as we walked up to the gym.
"The things we do for family." I countered. Klaus took my hand in his. A small gesture that up until now, I probably would have kicked his ass for. Over the past few days, I had realized that the feelings I had for him in the 20s were not all gone. We got into the room, and could immediately see Rebekah's handiwork, not much, just little things that only people who lived in the 20's would be able to add.
"Would you like to dance?" Klaus asked. I accepted and we walked out into the dance floor, we danced till I felt like my feet might just fall off. "I'm going to go call Rebekah." Klaus said leaving the room, we had both noticed that girl of the hour was missing the dance she had put so much effort into. Five minutes later, he came back in with Stefan.
"What's wrong?" I asked, following them into the cafeteria, where Bonnie was trying to do a spell.
"My mother, she's cast a spell that is holding us in here." Klaus informed me.
"She also took Elena." Stefan added. Just then Matt came into the room.
"People are just leaving the dance-going right past the boundary."
"Well if Matt and I can get out, we can stop Ester ourselves." Jeremy said, stepping up to help his sister.
"That would be a suicide mission Jeremy." Stefan pointed out.
"What if a witch went?" I asked.
"I can't, I need to find a way through the spell." Bonnie said, stopping the spell.
"No, I meant another witch." I said. Everyone stopped to look at me. I put my hands out and the fire from the candles Bonnie had lighten shot up in the air, then calmly went back to flickering when I put my hands down again.
"No chance in hell." Damon said standing up, now who was playing the help your sister role. "She'll kill you. We'll send the humans."
"I can't let you do that Damon. If I can distract Ester long enough for Bonnie to get around the boundary spell you can come and play night in shining armor, but I don't want innocent people getting hurt." I said firmly.
"I can't let you do that." Klaus said. "I can't risk my mother killing you, I just got you back."
"Well, I've already made up my mind, Bonnie keep working." I put my hand up, putting a spell on the room to hold them till I was off the school property. "I'm sorry." I left the room, all three vampires following only to hit my barrier. As I waked away I could hear my brothers and Klaus calling me to let them out. I hadn't realized that Matt and Jeremy had left during our discussion. They were already at the grave yard when I showed up. They were about to shoot eachother in front of the Salvatore crypt.
"Ester! Stop." I said walking up to her. "You don't have to kill them as well." She looked down at me.
"I am sorry for what I have to do to you and your family." she said. I could tell she genuinely meant it.
"Well, I won't let that happen." I said.
"You're a vampire! I could stop you with the flick of my wrist."
"Then it's probably a good thing I'm a witch again." I said, I put my hand up as if to push her and sent her up against a tree, tying invisible ropes around her so she couldn't move. "Now, you are going to drop this silly 'kill the vampire' scheme of yours."
"I can't." she answered. "Alaric will wake, he will feed and the whole of the vampire species will die." I still wasn't use to my magic so when she said this I got angry. I stomped my foot on the ground in frustration and ended up using magic to snap her neck. She fell the ground.
"No!" I screamed, running over to her body, checking for a pulse. "No, you can't be dead. I didn't mean to kill her. I didn't mean it!" I kept repeating. I stood up and started pacing. Ester's spell would be down now and Klaus and my brothers on their way. Elena was just coming out of the building when it happened, only this time worse. I fell to the ground screaming. The pain was unbearable. Elena came running over to me.
"Madelyn, what's wrong?" she asked, she looked over and saw Ester's body sprawled out on the ground.
"It hurts, it hurts." I kept repeating. Just then I heard someone coming towards us.
"Damon! Stefan!" Elena was calling, "Hurry! It's Madelyn!" I looked up, tears streaking my face, as my brothers came into the clearing. Elena placed her hand on my back, and I screamed it hurt so much.
"Don't touch her!" Damon snapped, coming over next to me. "Maddy, what happened?" He hadn't noticed Ester yet. I looked up and over at her. "Oh Maddy. You killed her?"
"I didn't mean to. It was an accident." I cried. All of a sudden the pain intensified, I let out another scream. "Make it stop Damon. Please, make it stop!" I whimpered.
"We have to get her home." Stefan said coming over.
"The boarding house is to far away." Klaus said coming over. "My place is much, much closer." I was barely conscious of the conversation going on around me.
"Fine, you carry her. Being the Hybrid, you can get her there faster." Damon said, "Maddy, Madelyn. Look at me. Klaus is going to pick you up." I just shook my head no, remembering how much it hurt when Kathrine did. "Yes, it's going to hurt, but you we need to get you someplace other than here." Klaus came over and gently picked me up, sending sheering pain all through my body. I bit my lip to stop from screaming yet again, I bite it so hard I drew blood. Next thing I knew we were in the mansion, and in the room I had first slept in. Klaus put me on the bed, and I screamed. The door flew open and Elijah was standing in the doorway. I was curled up in a ball, clutching my stomach.
"What happened?" he asked coming and standing next to me on the bed, I was whimpering again, crying even harder. The pain just kept getting worse and worse.
"She accidentally killed Mother." Klaus said. Elijah just looked at Klaus in disbelief then it hit him what that meant.
"She killed a witch." He breathed.
"Yea and now she has triggered the curse." Klaus said.
"Where are my brothers? I need Damon!" I cried.
"I'm right here." Damon said coming into the room. "We dealt with Ester." Both the Mikaelson boys looked at him now, "She is in her old coffin." Damon came and sat next to me on the bed. I rolled onto my back, and opened my eyes. I could tell by the sadness on Damon's face the were black. I rolled over, quickly, onto my stomach so that the others couldn't see. The pain was receding now, but what came next was the worst part.
"Damon." I said into the pillows.
"Yea?" he asked.
"It's about to-" Just then the pain stopped completely but all three men where shot back against the walls. When the pain stopped a blast of dark magic is released.
"Madelyn!" Damon said getting up, he knew from last time what came next. But I was gone. I ran down the stairs and out of the house, I sprinted to the boarding house. It was the only place I could think of. When I got there, it wasn't empty like I expected, Stefan, Elena, and Jeremy were all there. I ran in and was so overwhelmed with the need to kill. The dark magic turned me evil. I saw the ring, the Gilbert ring, on Jeremy's finger and flicked my hand, snapping his neck.
"Jeremy!" Elena yelled, running over to her temporarily dead brother. I dropped to the ground. I hated killing, and the sudden rush of magic exhausted me.
"Elena, I'm so sorry." I said, crying again. Stefan came over an pulled me into a hug. "I should go." I whispered to him, knowing Elena would definitely not want there any longer. I got up, and made my back towards the Mikaelson Mansion. When I got there, the door was still standing open. I went upstairs and found everyone exactly where I left them.
"Why haven't you guy's gotten up?" I asked walking into the room.
"Well, love, you spelled us. We can't move." Klaus said.
"Oh!" I said. "There you go." I lifted the spell, and they all slouched. "Sorry. I kinda had like no control. Killed Jeremy Gilbert." I said to Damon. He knew that the urge to kill was to much. "He'll come back."
