~500 years ago~
"The full moon is tomorrow, brother. After all these centuries, it is finally time." I heard Klaus say as I entered the room.
"You know Niklaus.." I started to speak and he turned around from the fireplace where he had been staring, to face me. I could see him being surprised by my appearance. "It's amazing how patient you've been."
"Sister, what brings you here?" Niklaus asked, surprised and a little happy.
"Elijah sent a message, saying you needed some help." I stated, walking next to Elijah and Niklaus looked up at Elijah, confused.
"Help? With what exactly?" Niklaus asked Elijah.
"I asked our sister to find a way to save Katerina, and she believes she has found a way." Elijah responds back.
"What does it matter if she lives or not? She is a means to an end." Niklaus states with no remorse.
"So she should die for your gain?" Elijah asks.
"She is human. Her life means nothing." Niklaus says.
"Niklaus, the point is that she is human. She had a life to live, one we should not take away." I cut in to help Elijah's argument.
"Sister, you have seen how humans live. Their lives are wake up, work, eat, sleep, repeat. They are pointless creatures that may be used for something good." Niklaus told me.
"If you want someone to die that badly, this spell will kill someone, just not the doppelgänger." I express.
"Why are you fighting so hard to save this girl?" Niklaus asks intrigued. "You have never met her before. When I have killed other people, you turned a blind eye but not for this girl. Now why is that sister?"
"Because Elijah asked me to." I state rubbing Elijah's back.
"Right, thanks for reminding me." Niklaus turned his focus back to Elijah. "Are you so foolish to care for her?"
"Of course not." Elijah stated, unsure of his answer, and I could see it in his eyes. My brother is in love.
"Love, is a vampires greatest weakness and we are not weak, Elijah. We do not feel, and we do not care." Klaus states in a tough tone.
"We used to." Elijah stated solemnly. I looked up at him with the same solemn tone, because I knew that once they became vampires, they had no choice but to change. Niklaus stared at Elijah for a moment before looking down at me to see my solemn face. He quickly looked away, and I knew not to feel guilty.
"Too many lifetimes ago," Niklaus stated cruelly. He looked down at me. "Don't bother, sister. The sacrifice will occur as planned." He looked back at Elijah before storming out of the room.
"I'm sorry brother, I tried." I say, putting my hand on Elijah's shoulder to comfort him.
"I know, sister." Elijah states, putting his hand on my hand, but continues to look away from me, and looks at the fireplace.
Another dream. Before, I was wondering why I had been dreaming of the past so often. But now I realize it's because the past is coming back to haunt me. I should have never told Elijah how to save Katherine. He wouldn't have a way to keep Elena safe, which means the sacrifice wouldn't need to happen.
But I cannot change the past.
I see Stefan opening the cellar, and he throws me a bag of chips. I look up at him irritated.
"You must be hungry." Stefan tells me, and I throw the chips back at him. "Fine, don't eat. Just assumed you would need some energy for this."
I looked at him confused, when Elena and Elijah stepped into the cellar.
"Well, what a turn of events, sister!" Elijah stated, and I just rolled my eyes. "I think this is an appropriate lesson after you put a dagger in my chest."
I keep quiet, as I am just annoyed with everything that is happening. It was bad enough having to deal with Elijah and Niklaus one by one. But now I have to deal with them both.
"You're not going to apologize? We both know you couldn't pull the dagger out, and I would have been...trapped." Elijah stated.
"You forgave someone who was about to kill you, and left me trapped in this cellar?" I asked Elena, who was now standing near Stefan.
"Elijah came after me because we broke his trust. So yeah, I did forgive him. Also, I didn't even know you were in here." Elena argues back and I roll my eyes again in annoyance.
"Sister, you can easily escape here, if you help us." Elijah stated as he walked closer to me.
"I'm good." I say with a fake smile.
"You know, Damon will kill you if you don't help us protect Elena." Stefan said.
"I would like to seen him try. Speaking of, where is he? He would never give up the opportunity to make fun of me down here." I say, noticing Damon is not here.
"He is throwing a tantrum." Stefan states.
"Guessing he didn't want to help you either. Still, my answer is no." I tell them all. Elijah looks at me with interest, before turning away to face Stefan and Elena.
"Can you leave us alone for a moment?" Elijah asked Stefan and Elena. Stefan seemed against it, but Elena nodded her head yes.
"Fine, five minutes." Stefan complies, and they both leave the cellar.
"Now is your chance to talk freely, sister." Elijah said. I got up from the wall I had been leaning against, and stood up straight.
"I spoke to Niklaus." I told Elijah bluntly.
"I figured. What did he say to you?" Elijah asked me.
"Nothing that is important now. But it's what he did not ask me." I state and Elijah says silent, so I continue. "He did not ask for my help at the dance, Elijah. He just wanted me to come home."
"Is that supposed to make me believe he suddenly cares about us?" Elijah asked, amused.
"He always has Elijah. Nik cares for us, and I know he had not harmed our siblings, why would you believe that?" I ask him in a sad tone. Elijah takes a moment to think, before he answers my question.
"For 1000 years sister, we have been together. It is normal for us to change, we have changed. People have hurt us, betrayed us, and have tried many times to kill us. And what we have done in return, is we made them suffer unimaginable pain. But it was for our family. I know everything I have done, everything you have done, is protect our family. But 1000 years is a very long time. And some people in our family, age changed drastically more than others. Niklaus has hurt us. He has betrayed us. And now, there is a chance he has killed our siblings. He wants to be seen as the enemy, then fine. He will be and I will take care of him, like I have done with enemies in the past." Elijah says, as I hear the anger in his voice getting angrier and angrier as he talks and I am caught off guard. I recompose myself.
"What happened to 'Always and Forever'?" I asked stepping closer to Elijah. He then thought for a moment again, before looking down at me.
"I wanted to believe we could keep that promise, sister. But look at us. Mother bore 8 children, two of them are dead, three are floating in the sea, and one has become totally power-driven, so much that he drove away his entire family. We are the only ones left." Elijah explains.
"He didn't drive everyone away." I say, moving back from Elijah. Elijah scoffs in amazement.
"You cannot be serious sister. He killed our family!" Elijah screams at me.
"They are not dead!" I scream back at him.
"Sister, I understand how you feel right now. I have felt this way for centuries, waiting for Niklaus's redemption. But I was a fool." Elijah states.
"You are an even bigger fool now, if you honestly believe I would help you kill our brother." I respond back cruelly, and he looks at me frustratedly.
"Okay. Time's up." Stefan says as he walks back into the room, with Elena behind him.
"Kalle, this needs to happen. Niklaus has hurt too many people." Elijah stated.
"You never felt this way until he made you believe he got rid of our brothers." I respond back.
"OF COURSE I NEVER FELT THIS WAY UNTIL THEN!" Elijah screams in anger, making Stefan and Elena startled, but I keep my composure. "He took away our family Kalle, what about this do you not understand. Klaus must die."
I look at Elijah regretfully. I know if he could ever kill Nik, he would immediately regret it afterwards. He is just too angry to see it through. If they could just talk, I know Elijah would believe him.
"Elijah, if you kill Klaus, this will only make things worse for you." I say calmly.
"How exactly, Kallandra?" Elijah asked, calmed himself.
"If I'm right about our siblings being okay, you would have killed Niklaus for no reason. You would have killed the person you've lived for this long and you'll carry the remorse with you for eternity." I tell him, and he looks at me irritated.
"And if you are wrong?" Elijah asks.
"Okay. Let's say if I am wrong and Niklaus did dump our siblings into the ocean. You will have avenged them, and then what? Then you will have another dead sibling, and your only sibling left would hate you for killing Nik. And then you truly will be alone, Elijah. So please tell me, what do you get out of killing Niklaus?" I ask Elijah, hoping to reach him. I can see his face change from irritated to sad.
"Don't listen to her, Elijah." Elena starts talking, and we both turn to face her. What the hell is she doing? "Klaus will continue to kill and murder innocent people for his own benefit. You will be saving many lives."
Okay. It's official. This bitch is worse than Katherine. At least Katherine was upfront with who she really is. Elena pretends to be good and innocent, but she's a bitch underneath. How dare she manipulate my brother!
Elijah seems uncertain about what he is going to do. He thinks for a moment before asking a random question.
"You said 100 witches are keeping her from leaving?" Elijah asked Stefan.
"Yeah. Why?" Stefan asked Elijah, and he turned around to face me.
"You stayed in here to talk to me, didn't you?" Elijah asked me, and I nodded. I could see Stefan and Elena getting confused.
Elijah looked down and thought for a moment before speaking again. "I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"Elijah." I tell him, but he doesn't listen and walks out of the cellar.
"Sorry, Kalle. We could have let you out if you had helped us." Elena told me.
"I saved your life how many times, and you keep me down here?" I ask in disbelief.
"You won't help us to save Elena." Stefan responded coldly.
"You don't get it, do you? The sacrifice doesn't need to happen, but Elijah wants it to. He can stop Klaus from having the sacrifice occur, but he would rather not. So yeah. I'm not helping if it results in my brother's death." I say back to them.
"Guess you better get comfortable in here." Stefan states. I look at them both cruelly, and they make their way out of the cellar.
I know Elijah is aware that I could leave if I wanted to. But I honestly don't care. I will stay in this cellar until I can reach Elijah. And if I can't, well then I have to go to plan B.
And I don't like asking plan b for help so this plan better work out.
Later that night, while I was thinking of how to get through to Elijah, someone walked into the room. It was Damon.
I looked at his appearance, and he seemed really terrible. His face was covered in blood, and he looked very angry.
"Um Damon, you oka-AH!" I scream as Damon puts a stake into my stomach, and quickly covers my mouth while doing so.
"Sh sh sh. Don't need to cause a fit." Damon says in an maniacal tone. I try to use my magic against him, but nothing is happening. "Yeah. I wouldn't even try to bother with the magic. I stole a serum from Bonnie. She said it could be really useless against someone powerful, or very useful to stabilize a witch who is weak and has no energy. Lucky for me, the spell on the cellar weakens your powers, making it hard for you to escape and resist this serum."
"MMMMM" I try to scream, but all you can hear are the sounds of my mumbling.
"Now, I want you to listen. I don't care if your siblings are the original vampires and I don't care if you are immortal. You need to save Elena, or your nights in the cellar are going to get a lot worse. Do you understand?" Damon asks me, pulling his hand away from my mouth.
"Screw you." I say confidently while there is still blood coming from my stomach. Damon does a fake laugh, before pulling the stake out of my stomach.
"This was your first warning, so please let it be the last. Or don't. This was fun." With a coy smile, Damon makes his way to the exit. I cover up my wound and try to stand up. Once I get up, Damon turns around to face me one last time. "What? Want to put up a fight now?"
I use my anger and frustration to fight the vampire who was on the stake. I built up enough magic to go against Damon.
"Motus." I say and he goes flying against the wall. He then tries to scream, but I shut his mouth. "Now I want you to tell your friends something, especially my brother. I am going to protect Niklaus, no matter what. I am done playing nice. So I would stay away unless you want a death sentence. I've always had this hatred for vampires."
I then snap his neck and he drops to the floor. I grab onto the door as my body feels weak. I grab onto the frame of the door and try to absorb the magic. Before I was going to use a spell, but I'm too weak to now. Absorbing a spell from 100 witches is easier than taking the magic of 100 witches.
I struggle to absorb the spell, as taking the spell from these witches who dislike me is still a struggle. I use all my strength to absorb and I can feel my body giving out. Not yet. I can do this. My body feels like lightning bolts have struck it, but it could be a lot worse. I finally feel that there is nothing left to absorb.
I take a step out of the cellar, and realize the spell is broken. I reach into Damon's pockets and take out his keys. I disguise the smell of my blood, so Stefan doesn't take notice. I slowly limp to the front door and leave the house without anyone noticing.
I hop into Damon's car and make my way to my destination. I should be going to my apartment. I should be on my way to my bed resting. But I am not going there. This is the opposite of where I should be going. But this is so much closer, my vision is feeling really blurry and that stabbing pain is making me feel weak. I need to heal, but I cannot.
I arrive at my destination and make my way out of the car. The spell I had that was concealing the blood smell, was now gone. I should be laying down, now moving this much. But I'm almost there. I keep walking past apartment doors, until I sense him. It takes a while, but I finally do.
Once I sense him, I bang on the door to get him to let me in. After about a minute or so, he finally opened the door, where I saw him in his original body.
"Kalle?" Niklaus asked me, as I was bleeding on the floor.
"Niklaus...need...blood." I say, collapsing on him. He catches me and bites on his arm. I grab it and immediately start feeding on his blood.
"It's okay sister, you're home."
