Niklaus and Greta go to that rock that holds her gremour. As I stay near everyone else, I know Niklaus is just having a party inside his head right now. My main question: what is this going to change? I've always known this sacrifice would lead to Niklaus having more power. I know he hates to bring it up, but he knows right now that I am stronger than him. Stronger than all my siblings. This might change that. He will have the strength and speed of a vampire and a werewolf. At least I know his ego will stay in check because I don't think it is physically possible for it to get any bigger.
Niklaus then makes his way back down to me. "You know sister, I always believed it would be you doing the ritual."
"I cannot say the same brother." I state, continue to look at the circle of fires.
"I wanted you to. It would have been more...symbolic." Niklaus stated to me, and I looked up at him, confused. He came near my ear and whispered, "Mother putting the spell on me and her daughter taking it off. Now that would have sent Mother rolling in her grave."
Niklaus then moved away from my ear, and walked to the fire. I continued to stare at the place where he had just stood in shock. It's been 1000 years since the curse was placed on him, 1000 years since we last saw our mother. Hm.
"Shall we?" I hear Niklaus say, and I look back at the fire. Well, guess there's no stopping this now. My only goal is to make sure my brother is alive at the end of this.
The fire surround the wolf is now taken down. She immediately charges Klaus, but Klaus does not let her get the upper hand. He pins her to the ground and injects with something. Then with no regret, he pulls her heart out.
I see the terror on Jenna's and Elena's faces, but I stand there, not even surprised. Seeing that the first few times is a little startling. But after a good thousand times, you kinda get used to it.
He then takes her heart and goes back to Greta. This time, I follow. He pours the heart over the fire that she is burning.
"Does this mean it's working?" Niklaus asked, staring at the fire. We looked at Greta to see the answer as well.
"It's working." Greta stated, focusing on the spell. I saw Niklaus's face turn into a smile and he looked at me with the same joy. I gave him a small smile in return. He seemed genuinely happy. But it might be because he was about to become the strongest creature out there.
"Now, it's time to get rid of the vampire." Klaus stated. "Did you bring the stake?"
I grabbed the stake out of the bag next to the rock and gave it to him. He smiled at me and made his way back to the fire. I followed behind him.
"Hello Jenna." Niklaus stated, staring at Jenna.
"Let her go. I understand that I have to die, but she doesn't." Elena states, pointing at Jenna, but then the flames surrounding her go up.
"Careful." Niklaus says.
"Elena don't." Jenna looks back to Elena.
"No, Jenna, we can't leave Jeremy without a family!" Elena pleads in a sad tone. "I did everything you asked; I followed your rules; I didn't run! Please."
Klaus looks at Elena for a moment before turning back to face Jenna. Then, he seems to get distracted.
"Well well...I don't recall you being on the guest list." Niklaus stated looking up into the mountains. I looked up to see Stefan standing there. I didn't hear what he said, as he only spoke loud enough for a vampire to hear.
"Very well then." Niklaus was about to leave, but I stopped him.
"Wait, what did he say?" I asked him. He leaned down to my ear.
"Nothing of importance. I'll be right back." Niklaus whispers in my ear before he speeds up to the place where Stefan is standing.
"What's going on?" Jenna asks confused and I look at her with realization.
"I have no idea, but you can listen." I told Jenna.
"She's right. Just focus on them, you can hear what they say." Elena agrees with me. Jenna then look at them to try and focus on their conversation.
"I can't do it. I don't hear anything." Jenna states giving up.
"You can do this, alright. Just relax. Focus." Elena tells Jenna. Jenna looks up to Stefan and Niklaus and tries again. She leaves her focus on them, before her face changes.
"I can hear them. I hear Stefan." Jenna said.
"What are they saying?" Elena asked, intrigued.
Jenna continues to focus on their conversation and I look at Jenna for an answer as well. She doesn't speak for a couple seconds, but then her face turns to shock.
"Oh my god." Jenna says shocked and Elena and I both look at her confused.
"What is it?", Elena asked worriedly.
Jenna took a moment to answer, still seeming surprised about what she had just heard.
"He wants to take my place." Jenna finally spits out. Elena's face turns from worry to fear. Of course, Stefan wants to take her place. Everyone in this group has a death wish. I just roll my eyes at the matter.
"Elena..." Jenna says, trying to calm down Elena, who is currently walking back and forth in her tiny fire circle.
"I have to do something...this can't happen..none of it." Elena says worrisome.
"Quite the predicament. It's funny all this talk about preserving family and here's Stefan." Niklaus states, walking in behind me.
"Stefan..." Elena states.
"It's okay." Stefan tries to reassure her.
"I find it adorable actually brother how much they are willing to do for one another." I state putting my hand on my heart.
"Well, I'm not one to get emotional, Kalle. So you must excuse me." Niklaus stated. He then started pointing a stake between Jenna and Stefan. "So Elena, who's it gonna be?"
I know the game he plays. Nik does this thing where he pretends there is a choice to make, but in reality, there isn't. He does this smirk that gives it away, along with the glare in his eyes.
"No". Elena states, with tears forming in her eyes and as she makes a stand.
"Don't worry Elena, there is no choice." I state with my arms crossed and Niklaus looks at me surprised.
"And why do you say that?" Niklaus looked at me confused.
"Because I know you. You did the same exact thing when we were younger and I wanted to play a game. But you already had a choice. And I'm assuming you want Stefan to stay alive." I stated, and they all looked at me surprised, except Niklaus.
"Why do you believe that, sister?" Niklaus stated, with a smile forming.
"You know Stefan is special." I state, and Stefan is taken aback. Niklaus' face turns to a full smile. He then vamps and speeds to put a stake in Stefan's back.
"No! Stefan!" Elena cries out. Stefan grunts in pain, as Niklaus breaks the stake, leaving half of it in his back.
"My sister is right. I have other plans for your boyfriend. I want him alive. But for now..."
Niklaus then quickly, brutally, snaps Stefan's neck.
Elena started to breathe heavily, unable to control her breath. Jenna looked at the bodies in shock. It was a nice effort, but my brother really hates it when plans go off course.
"Whenever you're ready, Greta." Niklaus stated, looking back at Greta. I moved away from the fires, so I wasn't near the bloodshed. The fire on Jenna came down.
Elena starts pleading again, and I'm just so tired of her crying; I'm not even listening. But Jenna gets bold and decides to take matters into her own hands. She runs up to Greta and bites her. Klaus quickly follows and stabs her in the stomach. She quickly falls down.
"Jenna no!" Elena screams out. Her eyes filling with tears.
"I would turn away from this next part." I tell Elena and she turns to me, starting to cry.
"Please..please don't let him do this." Elena cries out to me.
"I'm sorry, Elena. Nothing I can do now." I shrug my shoulders and look away from her. Then I see Klaus get down and stab Jenna in the heart.
"NOO! JENNA!!" Elena cried out behind me. "No!" I looked away from Jenna's dead body. Just because I was used to it, didn't mean I still didn't feel pity for everyone my family killed. And pity for those who had to deal with the deaths. I was only human after all.
I made my way to Niklaus, not really looking at Jenna's body. "This can hurry up. Elijah can be here at any moment."
"I told you already, I can deal with Elijah." Niklaus stated, pouring the rest of Jenna's blood. Afterwards, he made his way back to Elena.
"He is not the one I'm worried about." I state, knowing he can hear but he just ignores it. I see the fire around Elena go down as well. Elena then makes her way to Greta, passing me. She gives me a glare, before going next to Jenna's dead body. Nik follows right behind her.
I see Stefan trying to get up. So I use my magic to keep him down. "Don't hurt yourself, Stefan."
"Go to hell." Stefan mutters, as the wood is piercing his heart. He looks over to Elena, and sees his brother drinking all the blood out of her body. "No.."
Niklaus drinks every last drop of her blood, until Elena drops to the floor. I can see the terror on Stefan's face, as he watched the love of his life die. I finally let go of him.
"I'm truly sorry, Stefan." I state, as I walk away from him, towards my brother. I head to Niklaus, seeing the blood dripping from his mouth. He seems like he is in a trance.
"Nik? Are you okay?" I asked him worriedly. He started limping towards me.
"I can feel it...it's happening." Niklaus states as he starts to walk past me. I turn around to see him. His arm then cracks, then his other arm, then his legs. Every bone in his body, slowly starts to crack. I can hear the low growls coming from him. He is transforming.
Then out of nowhere, he is picked up thrown across the land.
"Nik!" I scream. I quickly turn around to see who called me, and I see Bonnie casting the spell. I was about to chant a spell, when Damon threw me across the woods.
After a brutal hit to a tree, I quickly get up and head back to Niklaus. I've come this far, and I'm not going to let my brother die now. I run back to the action, only to see lightning everywhere. This isn't normal. My magic has bypassed normal, but this...this is insane.
I run to see my brother aching in pain. Bonnie seems on the verge of passing out after casting a spell that strong. I put up a spell of fire between Klaus and I, and the others.
So remember at the beginning of this story where I was saving my brother's life? Yeah, well here we are.
"NO!" Bonnie screams, trying to put down the spell. I continue to hold up the spell. He cannot be hurt anymore.
"Everything will be okay, brother. I will get you out of here." I promise to Niklaus, as I continue to hold up this spell.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that. Hello brother." Elijah walks through the fire and puts his hand in Niklaus's chest.
"NIKLAUS, TELL HIM!" I scream at him. Asking Elijah to stop will not change anything anymore. I already tried too many times. Niklaus has to say it himself. "TELL HIM THE TRUTH!"
In the name of our family, Niklaus..." Elijah starts to say.
"I didn't bury them at sea!" Niklaus finally spits it out.
"What?" I hear Elijah say in shock. While my brothers figure things out, I try to stop Bonnie.
"Bonnie, you know using this much power will not end well." I state, fighting the power with Bonnie.
"You just want me to stop because I'm becoming more powerful than you." Bonnie tries lowering the fire, but I keep it up.
"I'm telling you from personal experience. You know how many times I have died using the power of magic I possess? The difference is I am immortal." I state, and I can see Bonnie's face change to fear through the flames. "I would not waste your life on something so insignificant."
"Bonnie! She is distracting you; Elijah is going to save him." Stefan states, making Bonnie notice the current situation.
"Take him, and I'll take you all out." Bonnie states, cockily lowering the fire even further with her anger.
"You'll die." Elijah remarks.
"I don't care." She quickly rebukes back.
I turned back to face Elijah. "He's telling the truth, Elijah." Elijah looked at me with an angry face and then looked back at Niklaus.
"Brother..." Niklaus mutters to Elijah. I know Elijah can see the truth in my brother's eyes. He then turns to face Stefan and Bonnie.
"I'm sorry." Elijah stated sincerely.
"NO!" Stefan and Bonnie both scream, and the fire wall between us comes down as I stop holding it. Elijah grabs both Niklaus and I, and vampspeeds us away.
