Sophia's POV

Well it was safe to say that my sister-in-law was downright bloody brilliant since I'd gone back to Mystic Falls ready to kill the doppelganger in order to get rid of Alaric only to find out that Rebekah had done it for me and saved themselves which left me to make a choice since Alaric was dead and my in-laws were safe and I made it since I didn't want to live an immortal life mourning Nik's death since for some messed up reason Tyler was dead but I wasn't.

I observed all this from the shadows hiding from everyone especially when my brothers were once again focused on Elena since unfortunately for my sake when Rebekah ran Matt's car off the bridge Stefan had been there but the doppelganger was of course stubborn and made him save Matt over her own life and she'd died with Damon's blood in her system meaning she was now in transition.

I watched as Damon left the Gilbert household in a strop which was surprising considering I thought he'd be elated that the doppelbitch was now turning into a vampire but it clearly wasn't living up to his expectations especially when she'd chosen Stefan, I was just about to leave since I wanted no part in witnessing Elena become a vampire but my phone suddenly rang and I looked down at it seeing Kol's caller ID, he had been calling me non-stop but I hadn't answered since I still wasn't sure what I was doing and technically I'm already supposed to be dead.

I sighed letting it ring out before I turned and left heading for the mansion to grab a few things before I hit the road, I wasn't staying here in Mystic Falls and as soon as I collected a few belongings I was gone content to leave everyone behind but as I entered Nik and I's room I stopped at the door looking around with tears threatening to fall especially when I saw the photo frame on Nik's bedside of me and him smiling at the camera and I picked it up looking at it running my fingers over Nik's smiling face and felt the tears fall.

"We were supposed to have forever Nik" I cried putting the photo face down on the bedside table since I couldn't bare to look at it anymore, I couldn't live in this world without Nik and I didn't want to mourn the rest of my life either and I suddenly felt the need to not feel anything meaning that switch looked pretty good right now but I remebered my promise to Nik never to turn it off and that still meant something to me which actually prevented it from flipping.


Third Person's POV

Bonnie walked down into the Lockwood cellar frowning at the sight of the dark brown coffin which laid on the ground with the lid open showing off Klaus' body partially burned and she was confused on why it was here.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Tyler's voice speaks up startling her and she turns towards the entrance finding him behind her smiling.

"What is that doing here, Klaus?" Bonnie asked him since she'd done a spell that had transferred Klaus' soul into Tyler's body at the storage unit to ensure that her friends were safe and alive. "The deal we made with Tyler was that you'd leave his body and jump into someone else's the first chance you got"

"Yes, when I assumed I'd be a pile of ash but apparently fate and oxygen intervened and there I am" he looked down at his own body. "Put me back"

"I can't right now" Bonnie argued.

"Your history teacher outed Tyler and Caroline to the council, they're on the war path and this body's vulnerable"

"I have to help Elena before she has to feed"

"Elena's dead and no longer my concern" Klaus argued.

"You're forgetting who just saved your life" Bonnie argued and Klaus angrily wrapped his hand around her throat.

"You're forgetting I can rip your tongue out!" he exclaimed. "Now put...me...back"

"If I can keep Elena human, you'll still have an endless blood supply to make your hybrids, isn't that what you really want?" Bonnie argues and he releases her while she looks at him and starts to leave but he intercepts her with his vampire speed.

"Same rules apply, no one knows...no one, do you understand me Bonnie?"

"What about Sophia, she's alive isn't she?" Bonnie asked him and Klaus frowns with a small glare at her since he hasn't seen or heard from her and he was worried but he couldn't let her in on that fact while he decided to worry about finding her after he was returned to his own body.


Sophia's POV

I moved away from bed going into the closet to change since my clothes were dirty and dusty, I picked out some dark black leather jeans and a grey shirt and pulled on a black leather jacket over to top as I slipped into some knee high boots than grabbed a duffel bag from Nik's side of the wardrobe packing up all the clothes that I wanted to take with me then started heading down stairs to leave.

"You should know better than to sneak up on a lady" I heard Rebekah's voice and turned my head towards Klaus' art room knowing its where it came from.

"Good advice, have you seen one?" Damon replied and I scoffed at his reply as I left quickly not wanting them to know I was even here but as I left the house I suddenly felt multiple shots of pain shoot through my chest and I looked down at the multiple vervain darts.

"Son of a-" I groaned before falling to the ground seeing multiple pairs of feet coming towards me as my vision grew hazier and black spots before everything went black.

I gasped as I woke up spluttering with my face in the dirt before I lifted my head finding myself in a cell of some kind and the air smelt like vervain which made me look up and see a fan blowing the smell of the vervain which was hung up in front of it straight into the room I was trapped in and I could hear other people coughing which drew my eyes to the cell across from me and I saw Stefan.

"Hello little brother" I sniggered making him look up in shock.

"Sophia...your alive?"

"Well not technically" I remarked before I coughed since this damn vervain was making it hard to breathe.

"How are you alive?" he pressed.

"Who knows" I shrugged.

"Sophia?" I turned my head dragging myself to the bars trying to see beside me but I'd recognized her voice.

"Rebekah?" I asked when I was unable to see her, the wooden wall between us making that so but before anything else could be said people suddenly came in dragging another body inside the cell next to Stefan before they quickly left and I noticed it was Elena who woke up shortly later groaning as she held her head while we all coughed, the vervain entering our lungs poisoning us slowly and keeping us weak so we couldn't try and escape.

"I thought I killed you" Rebekah spoke up as Elena looks around taking note of her surroundings.

"Where am I?"

"They thought you were a vampire so they stuck you in here with us" Rebekah replied clearly not in the loop with the fact that Elena had died with vampire blood in her system.

"Where's Stefan?" Elena argued ignoring Rebekah.

"Elena, I'm right here" Stefan spoke up attempting to sit upright in the cell next to her but she obviously couldn't see him. "Are you okay?"

"Stefan..." she breathes out as she tries to get up but falls against the bars of her cell. "...I didn't feed" I raised an eye since she still hasn't fed, how stupid was she.

"Ah I see what's going on here, you died with vampire blood in your system and you didn't feed and now you're locked up in here without a drop of human blood in sight" Rebekah laughed clearly enjoying the thought. "That is a problem"

"Just ignore her" Stefan argued when Elena looked over at Rebekah.

"Has anyone done the math, or shall I?" Rebekah went on undeterred by them.

"I'd say she's got less than three hours to feed" I answered laughing a little since at least we'd have a little entertainment in her as sad as it was for my brothers.

"And I get to watch you die all over again" Rebekah laughs when Elena tries to break the gate which just made me laugh even more since if we couldn't than why the hell did she think she'd be able to. "My day just got a whole lot better"

"It definitely won't be boring" I sniggered which causes Stefan to look over at me.

The minutes ticked by and it was becoming even harder to breathe as the vervain was continuing to be blown into the air and I kept coughing trying to keep it out of my lungs as much as possible looking about ready to flip that switch just so that I didn't have to feel any more pain since my heart already ached with despair and all I wanted to do was tear it from my chest and end the suffering because I didn't want the pain to continue anymore, everything inside me begged me to feel nothing.

"Stefan…" I heard Elena breathe out after she suddenly fell back looking like she'd tried to stand again but she'd collapsed against the bars.

"What happened?" Stefan asked her

"I'm out of time, I need blood I'm dying" she replied struggling to breathe and I frowned feeling for her since I couldn't imagine the pain since Nik had blood waiting the moment I woke up in transition and I hadn't wasted any time feeding.

"Hey anyone, hey!" Stefan gets up and starts to shout in order to get our capturers attention.

"Will you shut up?" Rebekah groaned out.

"You think we're afraid of you?" Stefan ignores her and continues to yell out which finally makes a deputy enter and he stops in front of him.

"You want more vervain?" he asks my little brother.

"Not really" I remarked and he turned to glare at me before looking back at Stefan.

"Keep it down" he warned Stefan.

"Listen to me, Elena's going to die if you don't let her out of here" Stefan goes on and the deputy looks at Elena.

"Sorry, not my problem" I glared at his back as I moved supporting myself against the bars.

"She's innocent, let her out" Stefan continues but the deputy ignores him and starts to leave but Stefan uses his speed to follow him and shouts again but the deputy shoots him and I slammed myself against the cell door as Stefan falls on the ground.

"Stop!" Elena tries to say but Stefan gets up.

"I said let her out!" he shouts again and the deputy shoots him again before he leaves while all I can do is look at my little brother who was willingly getting shot with wooden bullets for her, I don't know why my brothers were both in love with this insignificant girl but I knew they both did which is more than I can say for what they'd both felt for Katherine, since their love for Elena was pure and real unlike how it had been with Katherine just like mine had been with Nik.

Stefan drags himself against the wooden wall of his cell and he struggles to dig through the wounds and removes the wooden bullet from his leg.

"Elena, are you still with me?" he asks and I turn towards Elena seeing her sitting against the wall of her own cell, she's clearly weaker and paler and doesn't have a lot of time left.

"Yeah, yeah I'm here I'm okay"

"No you're not, I can hear your breathing" I frowned since this was a horrible way to die and I felt sorry for them that this was how they had to say goodbye. "Damon was right, you should have fed this morning, I'm so sorry"

"Don't be, you had hope" Elena argued. "That's all I ever wanted you to have and you had it"

"I love you so much" Stefan replies and I turn away trying to fight against the ache in my chest as I couldn't help stop and think about Nik, every small moment with him came flooding back.

"Do you know why I was even on that bridge?" Elena asked him. "I was coming back for you Stefan, I had to choose and...I picked you, because I love you" I turn back and notice that Stefan's crying. "No matter what happens...it's the best choice I ever made" I sighed twirling my rings around on my fingers before slipping them off and stared down at them. "God...it sucks I can't see you right now"

"I'm smiling" Stefan replies but it's clear that he's crying.

"Me too" Elena nods and I sigh since although it was over for Nik and I, it didn't have to be for them.

I watch as two deputies enter with more vervain and I watch them pass my cell before Stefan and I look at each other and I nod since I'd help him, just this once and it was for him not for Elena.

"I got this, bring the other one in" the same deputy that shot Stefan said to his partner who nodded and left before I stood bracing myself weakly against the cell door.

"Excuse me Sir" I called out to him and cough as speaking hurt watching as he pulled out his gun and came towards my cell.

"I thought I told you to shut up" he warned me but I just glared at him.

"Here's the thing...my family, we...we have money" Rebekah spoke up and I leaned my head against the cell seeing she too was standing up and he turned towards her. "Castles, apartments, jewelry...just name your price and let us out" she adds and he gets closer towards our cells.

"I'd much rather watch you die" he argues but I rush toward him snarling my fangs surprising him and he stumbles back towards Stefan's cell with his gun aimed at me which allows Stefan to catch him by the throat and he starts banging his head against the cell various times until his skull splits open before he drops the body next to Elena's cell and I watch as the blood begins to pour out of the wound creating a puddle next to her cell.

"Elena, Elena!" he calls to her and she slowly opens her eyes seeing the mess we'd laid out for her and immediately tries to reach it with her hand but it's too far so she spreads her hand as far as she can, putting her head through the bars while blood is spreading and I sigh since after a lot of struggle, she finally reaches it with her fingers running through the puddle then she licks the blood off her fingers.

"Welcome to vampirism Elena" I smirked at her seeing the veins bubbling under her eyes as they turn red. "My deal still stands though, break my brothers heart and I'll tear out yours" I threatened while she is flooded with the new raw power of her transition and the fresh blood which allows her the break the lock on her cell and ours freeing us.

"Sophia wait!" Rebekah calls stopping me from getting the hell out of there.

"Rebekah-"

"Niklaus is alive" she cuts me off and I froze slowly turning towards her.

"He's not..." I trailed off when I saw her look, it was sincere and Rebekah wasn't the type to lie to me about this...especially this. "He's alive?" she nodded her head and I frowned shaking my head since it couldn't be true, I fled not saying another word to her since I had to see this for myself.

I made my way slowly back to the mansion as I was hesitant since I wasn't so sure if I even wanted to find out if what she'd said was true because I had been mourning his death and he's been alive...why hadn't he come for me, why hadn't he found me, how the hell had he survived when I literally watched him burst into flames but I guess it was now or never to get my answers as I walked into the house through the back door quietly as I immediately heard voices.

"How dare you save Caroline over me!" I heard Rebekah say having beaten me back here and clearly she was pissed.

"Hello brother, I thought you were dead so pleased you're not" I heard his voice and I stopped dead in my tracks at the sound of his voice, it was true...he was alive.

"You left me"

"I only had time to save one of you and you can't be killed, rest assured I had a worse day than you" I pressed my hand over my mouth as I sank into the wall. "I think it's time for us to move on, find some more werewolves"

"So you can create your hybrid family, you don't know anything about family!" Rebekah yelled out. "Or love since Sophia was captured too but you don't care"

"Well, I know how easily they can be silenced with a dagger" I heard Nik reply and I frowned when the next thing I heard was something splattering. "No!" he yelled out and from the scent of blood I had a feeling I knew what it was. "Drop them"

"I mourned you, my heart broke thinking I'd never see you again!" Rebekah yelled out and for once I think I was on her side over Nik's, he'd been alive this whole time and he'd left us behind.

"Put the blood down Rebekah, there's a good girl"

"It's always been me!" Rebekah went on ignoring him. "Not Finn, not Elijah, not Kol, me, I loved you through everything and you don't even care"

"Drop it!"

"You want your family?" she asked him. "Here's your family" I heard the blood spurt as she undoubtedly destroys the bags of Elena's blood, the last doppelganger blood that Niklaus would ever have to create hybrids again and the next thing I heard was Rebekah's gasp before a choking sound.

"You know something Rebekah you were right I don't care, from this moment on you're not my family, you're not my sister...you are nothing" I hear the snap of Rebekah's neck breaking before his footsteps walking from the room straight towards me and my eyes move upwards when I hear him stop and his eyes met mine. "Soph-"

"Save it Niklaus, I heard every word and if its true than you left Rebekah...you left me in the hands of those people, you didn't even come for us, you let me believe that you were dead!" I yelled at him feeling the tears building up. "You broke your promise to me!"

"Sophia-"

"I don't want to see you" I shook my head fighting them back. "Everything you did broke my heart and you can't take that back, your just like my brothers" I choked out before I left not letting him say anything, not letting him have the chance to make this okay because it wasn't and I don't think I'm going to forgive him anytime soon.
