Katherine Pierce
It's a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia as I sit on the arm of Damon's couch, as he reads Jonathan Gilbert's journal. We're in the Salvatore boarding house.
"Why are you still here, Katherine?" he asks me.
"I'm helping for possibly the last time," I answer him, and then stand up and go to stand not far from the entrance way.
"What do you mean?" he asks me, putting the journal down and looking at me.
"Klaus will come after me. I'm saying my good-byes to my family. I want you to know that I loved both of you, but after what Stefan did, I love only you now. But I'm not stupid. Not going to force myself on you. You're lucky, Damon. You have family that loves you. My family was slaughtered by Klaus five hundred years ago. And I know it's been centuries, but I can't like forever like this. I act tough, but it's only an act. I'm like you, Damon. I act the opposite of what I really am. Sometimes I can barely hold it together. For my sake, I hope you'll forgive me. If I'm going to die, it'll be from Klaus. Don't get any ideas. I know how you feel; really feel. And because you think I lie, here," I tell him. Then I toss him my Petrova journal I have from the time I was human all the way to the present.
I turn to face the entryway to leave, when I see the other Salvatore brother.
"Stefan. I was just going to find you. I need to say good-bye."
"Why? This sounds like a dying good-bye. What's going to happen?" he asks me with concern in his eyes.
I look up at him, standing close enough in front of him, we can touch.
I explain with barely a steady voice, "Klaus is coming after me tonight. In case I die, I'm giving my last good-byes to my family."
He sadly looks at me.
"Good riddance. At least you'll be out of our hair," Damon comments.
"Damon, I know you care. It's just an act," I say, looking over my shoulder at him.
I look between my two Salvatore brothers; one that didn't love me enough; Stefan; and one that loved me too much. Obviously, that's Damon.
"When I'm gone, please don't fight. Stay together and watch each other's backs," I plead with them.
"We'll do what we can," Stefan promises me.
I slowly leave the house afterward, to visit the last of my Petrova bloodline. Elena Gilbert.
I enter Elena's kitchen and stand at the entrance, knowing she's there. She closes the refrigerator door with a bottle of water in her right hand.
"Elena," I greet, getting her attention.
She turns around and sets the water on the counter.
"Katherine. What are you doing here?"
She looks at me with fear. Fear radiates off her, but I'm not here to harm her. She needs to know that. She is my family. I do what is best for my family.
"Don't be afraid, Elena. I won't hurt you. I'm only here to talk."
"What is it?"
"Klaus; he's going to come after me; he obviously wants me dead. And if he kills me, I'll welcome it after I run a little bit. He killed my entire village and family five hundred years ago. I don't know how to go on forever with this grief. I'm here to say good-bye, Elena. I want to give you the only thing I have that I can give."
I take out a key and toss it to her, which she catches.
"I want you to have the Petrova journals. They might be useful. Someone had a ring like Alaric's. If he dies too many times, there'll be consequences. He'll start killing people and won't remember doing it. Take care of him. Don't let him die too many times. And obviously, I want you to take care of Jeremy, your friends, and Damon and Stefan. And if all possible, I want you to have kids and be happy. I love you, Elena."
I'm instantly in front of her.
With sadness in my expression and tears streaming down my face, I gently put hands on either side of her head and lightly kiss her forehead.
"Take care."
I let go and look at her.
"This may be the night that I finally give up."
At vamp speed, before she can say anything, I'm out of the house and heading towards the forest. It's a full moon, but I don't care.
Caroline Forbes
Tyler and I are walking through the forest, when I hear crying a distance or so away.
"Tyler, do you hear that?" I ask him.
"What?" he asks.
We both stop, as I answer him, standing in front of him, looking at him.
"It's Katherine."
"So?" is all he says.
"Tyler, we should go see what's wrong."
"You can go without me. I don't want anything to do with her. Not after everything she has done."
"Fine. I'll be back," I say in an irritated voice.
A few minutes later, I slowly approach her. She's sitting with her back against the bark of a tree, a picture in hand, head down, as she cries. She's upset about something and I know from experience, that it takes a lot to upset Katherine Pierce. I want to know what has upset her this much. It can't be Damon or Stefan. I would feel an eternal whole inside if either of them was dead. After all, I'm in their vampire family now.
"Katherine?"
I kneel down slowly to eyes level with her.
"You should go. Before he comes," she warns.
"Who?"
"Klaus is coming for me. I won't fight for long. He killed my family five hundred years ago. Killing me would be a gift. And that's his intention."
"So 'he' is Klaus."
"Please go, Caroline. I don't want you hurt."
I stand up.
"Then I'll go. I'll get Tyler. He might help. It's Klaus, after all."
She looks up at me and I run off at vampire speed back to Tyler.
Once I'm in front of him, I tell him, "Klaus is going to kill her. We have to do something."
"Why should we?"
"Because as much as I hate to admit it she's Damon, Stefan, Elena, and my vampire family; we have to do something."
"We don't have to do anything. I won't let you help. You should go home, Caroline. I don't want to bite you."
I realize what he's implying. He's going to phase. That means he must know the form Klaus will take to kill her.
"Be careful," I advise, as he starts to phase, the noise of cracking bones splitting the air. At the same time, I smell the scents of Damon, Elena, and Klaus. And as I run off at vampire speed for home, I can hear Katherine's screams of agony as he attacks her.
Tyler Lockwood
Pain surges through me as I willingly phase into a black werewolf, bones cracking, body changing to form my werewolf self. I gasp in pain, as it continues, holding back my screams. I can't believe I'm doing this; changing to help a vampire I care nothing for. But I'm doing this so Caroline won't get involved. And I can't stand to hear the screams, as I finish the last of the transformation.
As soon as I'm a full pure black werewolf, I race towards her scent as her screams start to fade.
I don't know what has come over me, but I suddenly don't want her to die. Where did that thought come from? I don't know, but I can't help my feelings telling me to risk my life to save her.
When I arrive at the scene, I see Damon and Elena running towards them. As they get closer, I jump onto Klaus, who in this form is a russet, hug werewolf. We roll a few times away from her, and then a distance away, we start fighting viciously. We bite and claw at each other, teeth bared in snarls and growls. To anyone, it would look like a couple wolves fighting over a piece of prey. But this is a life or death situation.
Elena Gilbert
As I kneel down beside Katherine, Tyler fighting Klaus, Damon stands over us. He watches the fight for a few minutes. Then he kneels down and takes two vials of blood out from his jacket. He holds them out to me, and I take them each.
"Klaus' blood. Help her. Your friend needs help," he says.
"Damon, what are you going to do?" I ask, afraid of his intentions and the outcome. He almost died from a werewolf bite a few years ago. I don't want him bitten again.
"I'm going to help Tyler."
"Be careful, Damon," I warn him.
He looks at me before rushing towards the fight.
I gently lift her head and put a vial to her lips, making the blood go down her throat. She's unconscious and dying, if not worst. He bit her more than a few times. Just one bite slowly kills a vampire. I'm afraid for her life. I don't want her to die. She's the last of my family. Next to Jeremy, of course.
When the vial is empty, I gently lay her head back down. Then I set the empty vial down. When I hear Damon say, "Come on, Klaus. We both know it's me and Katherine you want. Come on. I'm right here. Give it your best shot," I look up.
I see Damon looking at Klaus. Klaus stops with Tyler, letting him land on his side, hurt temporarily. After all, werewolves heal. But not as quickly as vampires. Klaus looks back at him before racing full speed towards Damon. I want to put myself between them, but that would get me either hurt or killed. So, all I can do is watch, as they disappear through the trees. And in the next moment, I hear fighting. It's vampire against hybrid. I hope he'll be okay.
I look down at my Petrova bloodline. I rest a gentle hand on her forehead, my free hand holding her right hand. All I can do now is wait until she regains consciousness.
I look up to see a pure white werewolf. The werewolf snarls once at me, before looking towards the trees.
"Rebekah?" I question.
She looks back at me and wags her tail once, letting me know that it's her. And as she races towards where, from the distant sounds, Damon is being attacked, she lets out a few howls and barks. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that she still cares about Damon.
I look down at Katherine, when I feel movement. I take my hand away from her forehead but keep my hand in hers.
"Katherine, can you hear me?" I call.
"Elena?"
She slowly comes to and I help her slowly to her feet, letting her hand go.
"How are you feeling?"
"Better. Thanks," she replies.
She looks towards the trees, so I give her a summary of what she missed.
Damon Salvatore
My screams of pain start to die down from the attack, as everything starts to go black. I blurrily see a she-wolf ram into Klaus, saving me. Then I see Elena and Katherine walking towards me. Probably to help me. I realize who the werewolf is. Rebekah. And that's the last thought that runs through my mind, before blackness closes in and I see nothing, hear nothing, smell nothing, and feel nothing as my head rolls to the left.
Rebekah
I see Damon Salvatore lose consciousness, as I fight my brother. Then I see Elena and Katherine kneel beside him. Katherine gives him a vial of my brother's blood, making the blood go down his throat.
What do you think you're doing, little sister? he thinks to me.
Saving Damon.
He growls and bites my right ear. I whine in pain and then we fight ferociously.
Half an hour later, as I start to stumble back, Tyler rams into Klaus and they fight. I'm hurt and so exhausted that I feel feint.
I hear Elena, as she races towards me.
"Rebekah!"
With my last remaining strength, I phase into my human-looking form and stumble back, ending up sitting with my back against a tree.
I see Elena at my side.
"Rebekah," she says.
"Elena," I breathe.
I fight to stay awake, as my visions starts to go black and my head rolls to the left.
Niklaus Mikaelson
As Tyler and I fight with teeth and claws, I see Damon getting to his feet with Katerina's help. I also see that I hurt my sister. Elena is at her side.
Instantly, once he sees her and Elena, Damon is there too, Katrina at his side.
A few minutes later, I see him gently pick her up in his arms and carry her, Katerina and Elena at either of his sides.
Stefan Salvatore
I'm having a drink of liquor, leaning against the fireplace mantle, as Damon lays Rebekah carefully down on the couch.
I raise an eyebrow, but before I can speak, he explains to me in summary, as he force feeds her his blood, of what exactly happened.
An hour later, Rebekah heads home alone, feeling much better.
