Chapter 45: The Last Dance

"Please sign here and here," the lawyer said to them.

"Okay," Elena took the pen and handed it to Sakura afterwards.

"So this place is all yours? They just gave it to you guys?" Bonnie inquired.

"For now. Only we can invite a certain type of person in here, if you know what I mean," Elena explained.

"Your own safe house," Bonnie smiled.

"That's the idea," Leilani sighed.

"Wouldn't want to clean it," Bonnie joked and the others laughed, aside from Sakura.

"What's wrong?" Leilani whispered to her.

"Hm?" Sakura turned to her. "Just not sure it's a good idea for me to be... Listed on it," Sakura whispered, knowing it was likely that the brothers were listening to everything from outside.

"Alright, that's it," the lawyer got up to leave.

"Thank you, Mr. Henry," Elena shook his hand and they saw him to the door. They opened the door for the lawyer and say Stefan and Damon waiting outside. "I'm sorry. I completely forgot," Elena said, noticing them staying outside. "Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house?" Elena smiled at him.

"I would love to. Thank you," Stefan walked by her and into the boarding house.

Elena looked at Damon, not saying anything. "What are we, 12?" Damon scoffed.

"One of us is. If I let you in, do you promise to obey the owner of this house?" Elena crossed her arms.

"Not unless you're talking about Sakura," Damon smirked.

"Seriously, Damon. My way. You promised. I call the shots. No lies, no secret agendas. Remember?" Elena frowned.

"Damon, would you come in," Sakura walked up beside Elena.

"Indeed I will," Damon took her hand as he walked in.

"Sakura," Elena was obviously angry.

"You know this was their house," Sakura rolled her eyes.

"I need to call the shots," Elena made Sakura face her.

"I'm sorry Elena, but I don't know that that's the best," Sakura sighed, "Things don't always go as planned." Sakura sat on the couch, and her Fenrir tattoo started to hurt.

Bonnie came up to Elena and handed her, her jacket. "Thanks," Elena smiled weakly.

"Wait, where are you going?" Stefan frowned, blocking her way to the door.

"To school," she replied plainly.

"Huh?" Stefan was baffled.

"No, no, no. We didn't create a safe house for you to leave it," Damon stated, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, guys, Klaus is out there. We know that," Stefan stepped in Leilani's way, as she was trying to sneak past him.

"Right. But where? No one knows. Look, I really appreciate what you guys are doing. 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," Elena said firmly.

"Your way, Elena," Damon gave in.

"Don't worry, I'm ready. If he shows his face, I can take him," Bonnie assured them.

"The way I see it, next to Bonnie is one of the safest places that I can be. Come on," Bonnie followed Elena out.

"Wait, I'm coming," Stefan followed them out.

"Oh just go," Sakura sighed, as Leilani had been staring at her, waiting for the go ahead.

"By you might be the safest," Leilani waved to her before leaving.

"Not going with them?" Damon questioned her.

"Na, not in the mood," Sakura tried to hid a cringe as she held onto her tattooed shoulder.

"What's wrong with your shoulder?" Damon flopped down on the couch beside her.

"It's the Fenrir, it senses that Klaus is close, really close," Sakura frowned. Sakura grumbled and turned on the couch to lay down, with her legs across Damon, who didn't seem to mind.

"So, are you like a Klaus detector?" Damon teased.

"Might as well be," Sakura cringed.

"Sakura, is it going to come out if you get near him?" Damon asked with a furrowed brow.

"I... I really don't know what will happen," Sakura stated, afraid of what'll going to happen.

"There's a dance tonight right?" Damon inquired.

"Yeah, I think so, why?" Sakura looked at him questioningly.

"That's where we'll meet him, most likely," Damon stated.

Stefan, Elena, Bonnie and Leilani went back to the boarding house after getting a message from Klaus. They met in the living room to discuss what was going on.

"So we go to the dance, we find him," Damon stated.

"Really? How are we going to do that? We don't even know what he looks like," Stefan crossed his arms.

"Something tells me he's not going to be 16 and pimply," Damon remarked

"He could be anywhere at any time. He compelled somebody at school," Stefan explained, "I guess it's not as safe as you guys thought, huh?"

"We have our own Klaus detector right here," Damon pulled Sakura over to him.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan questioned them.

"The Fenrir can sense Klaus," Damon explained when Sakura didn't reply.

"He's close, real close," Sakura frowned.

Someone knocked on the door and Damon went to answer it. "There you are," Damon let Alaric in.

"Sorry I'm late," he smiled and walked in with the rest of them. Sakura looked up at him and froze after he whispered something.

"Hey, I need you to put me down as a chaperone at the dance tonight. Klaus made his first move," Damon informed him.

"Ok, so we find him and then what, hmm? What's our plan of attack?" Elena pushed.

"Me. I'm the plan. He has no idea how much power I can channel. If you can find him, I can kill him," Bonnie assured them.

"That's not going to be that easy. I mean, he is the biggest, baddest vampire around," Alaric boasted.

"Alaric has a point. I mean, what if he..." Damon rushed to Bonnie, but she threw him across the room with her powers.

"Well, I was impressed," Stefan smiled.

"It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anyone who comes at me. I can kill him, Elena. I know I can," Bonnie assured them.

Suddenly Sakura passed out. Damon sped up to her and caught her, before she would of hit the floor. "Sakura?" Damon was baffled.

"What happened?" Leilani asked, inspecting her as Damon picked her up in his arms.

"Something feels wrong," Bonnie stated looking down at her, "Her energy feels different."

"So... What's going on?" Stefan asked, a frown plastered on his face.

"I have no idea," Bonnie admitted.

"Do think it's Klaus? What if she can't get close to him?" Elena suggested with worry.

Alaric had to hide his smile, "Maybe she just needs rest. Take her to her room. I'm off for now," Alaric suggested before leaving.

"Right," Damon eyed him before heading upstairs. He laid her down in bed, "We need you right now, more then ever," Damon sighed.

He's coming for you!

Sakura awoke shivering, with the Fenrir's voice in her head. "You're sweating," Damon came into her room, dressed up for the dance. "I know red is your colour," he handed her a red swing dress, with black straps. "I know we need you and all, but I'm starting to doubt if you should come," Damon admitted.

"What happened?" Sakura took the dress, but didn't remember how she ended up in her room.

"I was hoping you would know actually. Not long after Ric arrived, you just kinda passed out," Damon explained what little her knew. "Maybe this is a bad idea," Damon frowned and went to take the dress back, but she kept hold of it.

"I'm not going to stay home, hiding. What happens, happens..." Sakura bit her lip. "But I need you to do something for me," Sakura looked at him seriously.

"Anything," he stared back at her.

"I want to bind my magic to you..." Sakura said and he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "In a sense, if I go out of control, my hope is that you can stop me from using magic," Sakura tried to explain.

"I see..." Damon sighed. "So how do we do this?" Damon seemed ready.

Sakura pulled a bowl out of her nightstand, along with a knife. Damon eyed it, but didn't say anything. "Give me your hand," he complied and she cut his hand, then hers, and let them bleed into the bowl a bit. She pulled out a stick and stirred them together. "Occio me favinus homun, Sakura ac Damon!" She took a drink of their combined blood and handed it to Damon and he did the same.

"How do we know if it worked?" Damon asked.

Sakura summoned some energy into her hand, "Can you feel anything?"

"Yeah, it's kinda warm," Damon smirked.

"Try," Sakura commanded.

"Disperse," Damon clamped his hand closed and the energy ball in her hand disappeared.

"No using it outside of me going haywire," Sakura glared at him.

"I promise," Damon sighed.

"Okay, you get Stefan and Elena ready, I'll get changed," Sakura commanded.

"I'd rather stay here for that," Damon pouted as he left her room.

Sakura put the dress on and stood staring at the mirror. She heard her door open, followed by a whistle. "Okay hottie, time to go," Damon came up behind her and put his arms around her. He kissed her on the cheek before looking up into the mirror, "Wish we could just stay like this."

They all headed to the school, Sakura and Damon ran into Jeremy and Bonnie first. "Damon," Bonnie acknowledged him.

"Evenin','" Damon replied.

"Looking awesome Sakura," Bonnie smiled.

"Hey you two. Oh, you look nice," Elena said as she came up to Bonnie with Stefan.

"You too," Bonnie said as she embraced her.

"You guys ready to do this?" Stefan asked.

They headed inside and started to dance. Dana, the one the Klaus compelled, went onto stage, so they went up to the front. "Thanks for being here, everybody. We have a special shout-out tonight," Dana started. "This is for Elena. From Klaus," a song started to play.

"That was a lame, cheap shot. He's just trying to bait us," Damon commented.

"I know everyone here," Elena looked around frantically.

"Maybe he's not here. Just wants us to believe that he is," Stefan suggested.

"He's here," Sakura frowned as she looked into the crowd.

"It's a party, people. Blend. Let him come to us," Damon suggested.

"Good idea," Bonnie said as she took Jeremy's arm.

"No, no, I really don't feel like dancing," Jeremy freaked out.

"Too bad," Bonnie said as she pulled him onto the dance floor.

"There's Ric. I'll be back," Damon told Sakura. Sakura looked over at them and couldn't shake the off feeling she was getting. Elena and Stefan started to dance just beside her as well.

"Caroline's here. They don't know what's going on. We have to tell her," Elena told Stefan after seeing Caroline show up with Matt.

"I'm on it," Stefan pulled Sakura over to her before leaving.

"Let's dance," Elena pulled her in and Sakura complied.

"How are you doing?" Sakura asked.

"Freaking out a bit. You?" Elena sighed.

"Feeling off honestly... I can sense him here," Sakura cringed.

"You're good at this," Elena changed the subject.

"And I'm better," Damon appeared beside them. "I've got moves you've never seen," Damon started dancing with both of them.

After dancing for a few minutes, Damon excused himself to talk with Bonnie. "What's up with him?" Elena asked.

"No idea," Sakura frowned.

"Come on, let's ask Jer," Elena dragged her over. "What are they up to?" Elena asked Jeremy.

"Who knows?" Jeremy said plainly.

"Is there something going on, Jer? You ok?" Elena prodded.

"Fine. I'm fine," Jeremy walked away, obviously not fine.

"Everything all right?" Stefan asked coming up to them.

"I'm not sure," Elena frowned and Stefan followed Jeremy.

Damon pulled Sakura away from Elena who turned to talk to Bonnie. "What's going on?" Sakura asked him. When he didn't reply Sakura sighed, "Bonnie won't survive this, will she?"

"How did you?" Damon was baffled.

"Come here, come here, come here. Please tell me you didn't know that Bonnie was on a suicide mission," Stefan pulled Damon aside and Sakura followed.

"Oh, great. Jeremy told you and of course you told Elena," Damon rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, I told her. You promised her no more secrets," Stefan frowned.

"Stefan..." Sakura looked away from him.

"I changed my mind," Damon spat.

"Guys, a fight in the hall," Sakura caught their attention.

"What?" they asked in unison and the three of them rushed over, Sakura lagged behind a bit.

There were two guys picking a fight with Jeremy. When the brothers arrived, one attacked Damon with a crossbow, loaded with a stake.

"Let me guess... Klaus says hi," Damon rolled his eyes. Stefan started to fight with the other boy.

Sakura came up behind them and blasted the two boys and held them against the lockers.

"The whole thing's a distraction. Go find Bonnie and Elena. I got this. Go," Stefan rushed Sakura and Damon away.

"We have to find Alaric," Sakura frowned.

"Why?" Damon asked as they ran.

"Because Klaus took him over," Sakura replied.

"What? When?" Damon asked.

"That's what made me pass out," Sakura had figured it out, Damon grabbed onto her arm to stop her.

"Then you have to get out of here," he frowned.

"No time for that, we have to find the others," Sakura stated. Damon growled slightly, but released her.

They heard a loud crashing sound and Bonnie and Elena came bursting through the hallway door.

"What happened?" Damon freaked out.

"Klaus is in Alaric's body," Elena stated. Damon glanced at Sakura, but didn't say anything.

"He's possessing it or something," Bonnie explained.

"Go find Stefan. Now," Damon told Elena.

"Okay," Elena hesitated.

"Now!" he rushed her.

"Can you kill him?" Damon asked Bonnie.

"He's got some kind of protection spell," Bonnie frowned, not sure what to do.

"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," Bonnie started to panic.

"I might be able to break it," Sakura said as she kept thinking.

"No, you stay away from him," Damon commanded. "No. Klaus does not get to win tonight, no way. You still willing to do whatever it takes to kill him?" Damon asked Bonnie.

"Bonnie I can help you," Sakura took her hands, trying to convince her.

"No, if things go wrong, they'll need you," Bonnie seemed set in her ways.

"I won't let you go in there alone," Sakura looked at her with worry.

"No, take her away Damon," Bonnie wouldn't change her mind.

Suddenly, Sakura was lifted over Damon's shoulder. "What are you doing, put me down!" Sakura cried out.

"No," Damon said firmly.

"Bonnie!" Sakura grabbed Sakura's hand and transferred some of her energy to Bonnie. The she went limp, "Take him out," Sakura managed to say.

"What'd she do?" Damon asked, noticing Sakura not fighting him.

"She gave me some of her power," Bonnie replied, "A lot of power actually. It's amazing. I just hope I can use it. Now take her and run!"

Damon rushed away and ran into Stefan and Elena, "There you are."

"What are you doing?" Elena asked seeing him with Sakura on his shoulder, "And where's Bonnie?"

"She's doing what she has to do, and I'm doing what I have to," Damon stated.

"What?" Elena freaked out.

"Where is she?" Stefan growled at him threateningly.

"Stefan, let her do this," Damon pleaded.

"Damn it, Damon, where is she?!" Stefan seemed ready to attack him.

Elena and Stefan ran towards the direction Damon came from.

"Put me down," Sakura sighed, "I can walk on my own."

He set her down, but didn't let her leave, "You already helped, just go home and let me deal with it."

"Like hell," Sakura snapped. "Bonnie is ready for pickup," Sakura sighed.

"What? How did you?" Damon was baffled.

"Just go to them, don't worry about me. Have to find Leilani anyways, she's in the dance somewhere," Sakura sighed.

"Right," Damon rushed away.

Sakura went back to the dance floor and tried to look around for her. "Hey Care, have you seen Leilani?"

"Nope, sorry," she replied.

Sakura went back into the hall. She pulled her phone out and dialed Leilani's number. "Hello?" she heard a male voice on the other end.

"Where's Leilani?" Sakura growled.

"She's not available right now, please call back later," he replied.

"I know that voice Allen?" Sakura felt panic set in.

"I'm sorry, he has complete control..." his voice faded away before the hung up.

Sakura sank to the floor, "Leilani..." She stayed there for what must have been hours. She snapped out of it slightly when her phone rang. She glanced to see it was Damon, but didn't answer it. She leant against the lockers, and kept staring at her phone, expecting Leilani to call.

"The plan was a success, Klaus thinks Bonnie is dead, she's safe at an abandoned house with Jeremy and Elena forgave me," Sakura didn't look up, but she knew it was him. "What's wrong?" he knelt down beside her, "You didn't answer my call, even though you obviously have your phone." She still just sat staring at her phone. "Okay, freaking me out now," he stole the phone from her, "Last call, me, then Leilani... Where is she anyways?" When Sakura still didn't respond, he knew something was wrong. "It was 'him' wasn't it?" Damon turned her head to look at him.

"Klaus took her, and he has a hold on Allen... It took me so long to notice her absence, I should have been keeping an eye on her," she finally spoke.

"We'll get her back, I promise," Damon picked her up and carried her home.
