Chapter 27: Betrayal????
11:11, 9 December 2022I only got about 20 minutes of sleep, before I was up again, It was the middle of the damn night. HURRAH TO INSOMNIA!
I sit up with a groan, Looking to see Damon fast asleep beside me, I just shrug and get up, walking out of his room, Instead falling onto a random couch, Passing out cold, once again.
.
.
.
.
Elena POV (I'm sorry guys)
I did it. I pulled out the dagger.
I leaned against the wall and slid down.
I flinch as Elijah suddenly gasps, And run to him, Calming him down. "Elijah, Elijah. . . "He stops suddenly and looks at me. I smile, knowing I was able to soothe him.
"Katerina? please"
My heart stings but I bring my finger to my lips and shush him. He stares at me.
"Oh my god." And again, he passed out.
I look around.
Dammit, what if Stefan and Damon hear?
I go to try shake him, But suddenly he flips over towards me, and I stumble back. Elijah then Stumbles and stands up, looking towards the ceiling. "I can't, I Can't breath" He falls to the ground. "What's happening to me"
"I-"
Worried, I go grab onto him to stand him up, but he shakes me off. "I can't, I can't be in this house." he gasps and it hits me.
"You're not invited in!"
"Get me out of here," And Elijah was gone.
.
.
.
I run after him, to find the door thrown open, and Elijah huffing, while kneeling on the ground, He turns his head to me violently, and slams against the door frame, only to be stopped by the barrier. He huffs, looking at me, eyes blazing in anger.
"Where is she?"
I look at him confused. "What?"
"WHERE IS SHE?"
I widen my eyes and shush him, he just glares. Suddenly I hear Val's voice from behind me."El, which bastard decides to come over right now? Because they are SO losing a head-"Val turns the corner and freezes as she sees Elijah. "Val, I had t-"
She doesn't even glance at me, instead, Flashing over and tackling Elijah into a hug, Elijah smiles and hugs back just as tight. I stumble back, falling onto my butt in betrayal.
How could she? NO, Why? Why did Val go behind my back? Is she scheming with Elijah?
No! Elijah is a honourable man, he wouldn't do that. So what?
Val lets go of him and turns around towards me, She snorts and rolls her eyes.
What?
"Babe, just WHAT are you doing on the floor? don't tell me that, me hugging our best chance of survival scared you."
Relief floods me, And I shake my head, hugging her as she walks back into the house, I look at Elijah who was smiling at Val, but starts glaring at me.
Elijah stares at me, gritting his teeth. "What happened?"
I shush him, as well as gesture to Val, who yawns and nods tiredly.
I whisper to Elijah. "I'll tell you, Not here""Can I trust you?" I ask, Elijah's eyes widen and he glares."Can I trust YOU"
I gulp . . . the only way to earn his trust is to give the dagger to him . . . So that is what I do.
.
.
.
Val's POV
I Sat at the back seat, Hungrily drinking my blood bag. Things are tense in the front, but I choose to ignore.
Elena glances at Elijah. "You look better." I choke on the blood, and quickly cover my mouth with my hand. Elijah grins at me through the rear-view mirror.
His face turns stoic once again, and he doesn't look at Elena. "Where did you get the dagger?"
Elena sucks in a breath. "I'll tell you everything, But we have to work together Elijah. I need your word."
Elijah clenches his jaw and focuses on his blood bag. "Your ability to make demands have long past."
"No demands, I'm offering you my help . . . And in return, I want yours."
Elijah leans back. "And why should I even consider this?"
Elena gets slightly brave. "The same reason you haven't killed me. You need my help to kill Klaus, And I need you."
Miss gurl . . . . What're you gonna do, Fist fight Klaus or something?
Elena pauses, hearing her phone ring, she hesitates and picks it up.
I listen to the conversation as she tries to indirectly convince Elijah to trust her. I roll my eyes and lean into the front seat, grabbing the phone off her, and pressing it to my ear.
"Elena? hello?"
"She's not alone Stef, Chill"
"VAL? What are you-, Please don't tell me you trust him, he's going to use Elena."
"Look Stefan, We made a deal with Elijah before, He didn't break it, YOU guys did. I trust he will keep his word, and I plan to have strong allies. Elena is not a toddler you need to babysit, because she is MORE than capable of making decision. If you need anything, we'll keep in touch. Also, Tie Damon up or something, It's only a matter of time before he goes macho and tries to 'Save' Elena from a non-existent threat. Bye." I proceed to hang up on them and look at the two.
Elijah quirks an eyebrow and holds out his palm to me, I pout, before placing the phone onto it.
He narrows his eyes at Elena, before tucking the phone into his suit pocket.
Elena turns to Elijah seriously. "He's here."
Elijah's eyes widen as he turns to me, looking for confirmation. "Klaus is here?"
I nod. "He's taken over Alaric's body."Elijah looks away, slightly rolling his eyes. "Of course he has. One of his favourite tricks" He turns to look at me.
"well what are his other tricks? What is going to do Next? You're the only one who knows him." Elena asks him
Elijah zones out, deep in thought. "Yes I do . . . "
.
.
.We walk up the stairs of the Lockwood residence, Elijah, ringing the bell. A few seconds pass and carol answers the door, Eyes wide, and a face full of confusion
"Elijah? Elena? Val! What-what're you doing here?" she looks at Elijah's disfigured state. "What happened?"
"I had a bit of an incident, Carol. I was hoping you could help?"
"Well I'm on my way to a meeting so . . . " Elijah steps closer to her. "I won't take a minute of you're time." He begins compelling her.
She smiles brightly. "Of Course, Anything you need!" She steps aside, Letting the three of us enter.
"Well first things first. I'm going to need a change of clothing." He turns to face carol, who steps towards us. "Well, we could try one of my husband's suits. I haven't boxed them up yet"
"wonderful." She smiles, at turns to get the clothes. Once she was gone, Elena turns to Elijah in confusion. "How did you know she wasn't on vervain?"
Elijah doesn't turn to look at her. "because I'm the one who got her off it. Right before you and your friends killed me." he turns his head to stare at her. "Twice."
He then turns to me with a smile. "If you'll excuse me, I'll be down in a moment."
.
.
.
.
We were all seated, I sat next to Elijah on a couch while Elena sat opposite us.
"So, I assume the martin witches are no longer with us?" I nod solemnly.
"No. I'm Sorry" Elena whispers out.
He then turns to me. "And Katerina? She would've been released from my compulsion when I died."
I sigh. "She's been caught by Klaus, but I very much do think she's alive, Klaus doesn't seem like one to let her off so easily."
Elijah nods. "Yes, for him, Death would be too easy."
Elena looks at him in confusion. "Elijah, you said you want Klaus dead, yet you still made Katherine pay for betraying him."
Elijah zones out. "Yes, there was a time, when I would have done anything for Klaus."
"Yes . . . . Klaus is my brother."
Elena gasps slightly.
"Yeah, I heard that . . . I'm still processing."Elijah smiles. "I'm still a bit behind on times, but I believe the term you're searching for is 'OMG'"A small smile on his face as he sipped the cup of tea in his hand.
(Small story time later.)
Elena looks dumbfounded as Elijah stands up from the couch. "There's a whole family of originals?"
Elijah fixes his tie in a mirror while he speaks. "My father was a wealthy land owner in a village in Eastern Europe. My mother bore 7 Children."
Damn, Esther be popping kids out like there's no tomorrow.
Elena also stands up in interest. "So, your parents were human?"
Bro what as stupid question, No Elena, they were chipmunks.
Elijah turns to us. "our whole family was. Our origin as vampires is a very long story. But just know, we're the oldest vampires in the world. We are the Original family, and from us, all vampires are created."
Elena looks at him. "Right, but Klaus is your BROTHER. and you want him dead?" She asks, looking at him sceptically.
Elijah pauses. "I need some air." Elena sends him a look of confusion. "Still feeling a tad . . . . Dead. Come."Walking out of the room, as the two of us followed.
Elijah leads us out of the house and onto the Lockwood property, which stretched over a huge span of land.
"So, As you've seen, nothing can kill an original." He states, walking down the steps onto the grass. "Not sun, not fire, Not even a werewolf bite. Only the wood from one tree, a tree that my family burnt."
I mentally smack my face.
Bitch, why tf you telling her your weakness, just tell her you're immortal, problem solved. Elijah, I love you, But wtf?
"so that's where the ash comes from?" she hurries behind him, trying to catch up.
"Yes, the witches won't allow anything truly immortal to walk on the earth."He looks out at the lake as he spoke. "Every creature has it's weakness, in order to maintain balance."
Elena pauses for a second, once again looking confused. "So, if the sun can't kill you . . . . Why is Klaus so obsessed with breaking the curse?"
Elijah stops walking. A small smirk on his face. "The curse of the sun and moon . . . It's all so, Biblical sounding don't you think?" He turns an smirks at me.
Elena shakes her head in confusion. "What's so funny?"
My eyes light up. "The curse . . . . Was all fake-, Or at least, it wasn't the REAL curse, Am I right Elijah." Elijah looked at me, A surprised yet proud look.
"Yes . . . You never cease to impress me."
(Small Flashback later)
"I don't understand. So KLAUS drew the Aztec sketches about the curse?" Elena stares at Elijah dumbfounded.
"Roman scrolls, African tribal etchings . . . . And any other culture or continent we felt like planting it in."
Elena steps forward, Face EVEN MORE confused. "But WHY?"
Elijah steps forward towards her. "The easiest way to discover the existence of a doppelgänger, or to get your hands on some long-lost moonstone is to have every single member of two warring species on the lookout for it."
"So it's not Aztec at all?" Elena deadpans, hands on her hips.
Elijah steps towards her and leans in. "Like Val said, The curse of the sun and moon . . . Is fake. It doesn't exist" Elena raises her eyebrows as Elijah shrugs, turning away from us to keep walking over the little bridge.
As it hits her, Elena runs after him. "WHAT?"
We walk around the pond. "Klaus and I faked the sun and moon curse."
"But there is no curse?" Elena pushes on, and Elijah looks at her in annoyance. "Did you not hear a word Val said? There IS a curse, just not that one." He keeps walking.
"the real ones much worse. It's a curse placed on Klaus" I mumble. "Yes that explains why he's so eager to break it."
Elena looks fed up now, "What are you talking about?"
Elijah turn to face Elena. "Klaus has been trying to break it for the last thousand years. And YOU are his only hope."
"Well what is this curse?"
Elijah abruptly stops and looks down at his suit pocket, taking out Elena's phone in annoyance, Passing it over to her.
"Your phone will not stop incessantly buzzing. Answer it, please."
Elena huffs, And presses the phone against here, "Stefan."
Her face turns sour and worried. "What's wrong?"Elijah looks at her as he listens to the conversation.On cue, my phone rings. I Excuse myself and pick it up, also pressing it to my ear.
"Hello?"
"VAL, Did YOU know Alaric was possessed?"
I sigh. "I only found out last night Jen."
She pauses on the end of the line. "Thanks for telling me about everything Val, You gave me time to process it."
"What did you do after you found out?" My eyebrows furrowed
"I ACTED MY ASS OFF! Where are you Val? I REALLY need to see you."
"Jen, I am SO sorry, I have so much to get done before it's too late, I'll be over tonight? I know you're still VERY confused, even after the explanation."
"*Sigh* It's fine, You explained what's going to be coming up,
But promise you'll come over?"
I chuckle, Both Elena and Elijah looking at me. "If I don't die. but yeah, Promise, unless something bad happens okay. I need to go now, but take care . . . "
I cut the call, and Elena turns to me worried. "What did she say? Klaus went after Jenna, We have to go." She grabs my arm but Elijah intervenes.
"That's not a part of the day's arrangement."
Elena looks desperate. "She's my family Elijah, I have to, I'll be back. I give you my word."I cut in and turn to Elena. "You go, I'll stay for a few minute."
She nods, hugging me before running off.
We both watch her leave before I turn to him.
"Elijah. You loved Katherine, Didn't you?"
He freezes, before he turns to me hastily. "That was a thing of the past. I do not fancy her anymore." I chuckle at his startled face, causing him to tilt his head in confusion."I fully understand that, Who wouldn't love Kat? but that's not what I'm talking about, I just pointed it out with the way you looked at Elena."
His eyebrows furrowed. "I have NO interest in that doppelgänger." I just chuckle and roll my eyes, he grabs my arm and pulls me to face him, looking at me intently, "Truly."
I stare at him for a while, before speaking up. "Elijah?"
He searches my eyes. "Hmm?"
"Why do you want to kill Klaus?"Elijah freezes, before turning to the pond. "Because he daggered my siblings, and dumped them in the ocean." I raise and eyebrow at him, and he looks at me.
"What?"
I snort. "You SERIOUSLY believe that?"Elijah furrows his eyebrows. "He told me himself."
I sigh, going on my toes to peck him on the lips before turning around. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into him from behind."Seems like something I would say in the heat of the moment to piss someone off. He's your brother Elijah, I bet he has the same amount of love for his siblings as you do. So . . . . . maybe you should give him a chance."
I gently move his arms and smile at him"I assure you, Elena will return. But I won't be able to, so goodbye Elijah"
I then vamp off.
Next destination, Ric's apartment.
.
.
.
.
I arrive at the door, just as I hear the sound of glass shattering.
You can do this, Val, you could kill him if you wished
I clench my fist and knock on the door twice, I hear loud footsteps approaching, and rick opens the door. "Maddox- huh"
He tilts his head with a smile. "Hello, VAL"
I swallow, and Step closer to him, Katherine looks at me with wide eyes, shaking her head franticly and gesturing me to run."I'm here to make a DEAL Klaus." 'Alaric' chuckles, turning and walking into the house."Well yes, I HEARD."
I step into the apartment following him, and he turns to me in confusion. Pointing at me. "You came in un-invited, How?"
I huff. "We make a deal, And I'll tell you my secret."He chuckles, amused, before gesturing to me. "Go on then." he leans against the kitchen island, bottle of bourbon in hand.
"I have a werewolf and a vampire, ready to be sacrifice. I can provide a barrier so the sacrifice can happen without disturbances, and I have a spell to revive the doppelgänger from death. in return, I want you to ensure no harm comes to my friends, Family OR loved ones EVER, not now and not in the near future." He Raises his eyebrow at me. "What if I already have those things? Oh and Please do tell, why I should care if the doppelgänger lives?"
I smirk. "Because you need her."
'Alaric' rolls his eyes. "and WHY is that?"
"You want to make hybrids right? In order for that to work, you need Elena's blood." Alaric's face hardens and he speed walks up to me, glaring hard.
"And HOW do you know this?" I sigh."I . . . . have my ways. I swear it's true, YOU just need to believe me. Do you think the witches will make it THAT easy for you?"
He grabs my arm. "And if you're wrong?"
I think hard, before my face lights up. "I can stay by your side, until you realize I'm speaking the truth, if it doesn't work, you can torture me?"Klaus snorts. "Well that's a first."
I smile, turning and catching Katherine's eyes. I realize what I forgot, and turn to him. "Oh! and please release Katerina."
He turns to me with a bewildered look. "WHAT? NO! She betrayed me, and now she must pay."I scoff and cross my arms. "Oh REALLY? How would YOU feel, if someone you thought you could trust and love, was just USING you, and was going to sacrifice you? She has been living in fear and running for the past 500 year. So stop being so petty and let her go!"
Klaus just scoffs. "Fine, wait here until I return to my body, and THEN we can make a proper deal." I roll my eyes and plop down next to Katherine on the couch. The witches then come in, rolling in a box. Katherine glances at me, I smile at her, before pulling her in by the waist and side hugging her. She reluctantly returns the hug.
.
.
.
There was a ring of candles, Gretta and Maddox in the middle. I watch in interest as the flames light up. Suddenly Katherine comes up behind me, One hand around my neck and the other holding my arms firmly behind me.
"Sorry Val, The hunter will return his body, you don't want to him to tell everyone what he saw and make it seem like you betrayed them do you?"
I widen my eyes as Alaric turns to look at us in confusion. "Elena? Val?"
He then falls to the ground, passed out. I smirk, thanking Kat as she releases me. Maddox stands up, Sliding open the box, As the real Klaus walks out.
He smirks down at Ric's body, before turning his head towards us. "THATS more like it."
Those dimples . . . Shit, stop simping
Klaus turns his head to me, and starts walking over. "So, where were we? Ah yes, the deal"
I purse my lips, "Yep, that's what we're doing"
He comes up to me and leads me away from everyone else, Placing a hand on the small of my back. We both come to sit down on Ric's couch. I clasp my hands together and face him, he's already looking at me like he's studying me. He speaks first, leaning forward.
"So tell me, A protective barrier uses a large amount of magic, And your witch is clearly not willing to help. How do you plan on doing this?" he smirks, acting like he's got me stuck.
"Well I . . . . Can put it up for you, I can also revive Elena." He furrows his eyes in confusion.
"So you're a witch then?" I sigh, "Something like that."
I huff and lean forward, sitting on the edge of the couch. "Look, I'll be a GREAT asset, I can stand by your side, advise you, and throw my life on the line for you. All I need in return is the promise that you will bring NO harm to my friends, or family . . . . That includes Katherine."
Klaus leans back onto the couch in thought. "That's all you need?"
I nod. "Yep." He looks sceptical. "Well prove you can do a barrier spell."
I roll my eyes, "how about we make a pact? I can spell it."
Klaus just huffs. "Fine, but if you try something I'll-"
"Kill me and everyone I've ever loved, got it."He looks at me slightly amused, watching me do what I need for the blood pact.
I pull out a knife and cut a line across my palm, wincing slightly, Then hold out my hand to Klaus who sceptically, allows me to do the same. Before it heals, I quickly press my palm against his, inciting a little spell in Latin.
"I promise, to Stay by your side and advise you, when you ask for it. I will provide protection and give up my own to save yours if push comes to shove."
I look at him, as he just watches me. "Now say, 'In return, I promise blah bah blah'"
He snorts at complies. "In return, I offer to protect your loved ones, and those you care about. And I assure that I will not try to bring them any harm, or cause their demise. This an exception to Elena Gilbert, because I will sacrifice her."
I stare at him momentarily, but nod my head, seeing it as a fair trade, before saying another spell. This causing a little golden ribbon to wrap between our hands, finally snapping and completing the spell.
I slowly pull away my hand, seeing a little golden slit from the cut, Klaus also having a similar scar. I smirk and turn to him. "Now if you break the pact, You'll burn for Eternity. The same will happen to me, unless we mutually agree to destroy it. Or The other person forgives the wrongdoer"
He nods, studying his palm, before smirking up at me. "Well you better keep that promise."
I snort, before standing up, "Well then Mister Future Hybrid, I have to make sure the Salvatore's don't do anything stupid."
I turn and head for the door, But Klaus Vamps in front of me, tilting his head. "Now where do you think you're going?" I huff and pat his shoulder as he stares at me. "Relax dude, I just need to make sure Damon doesn't go and try to do something impulsive."
Klaus vamps me over to the couch and pushes me down firmly. "You are not going anywhere. It's late, and I have planning, So you should stay the night."I grunt, "Ookayyy . . . "He then brings over a bottle of bourbon and passes it to me. I widen my eyes and gasp, turning to him. "*Gasp* I think I love you!"
Klaus just smirks, turning to go to the witches, while I make myself comfortable on the couch, falling asleep soon after.

The next morning- Third POV
Elijah looks at Elena. "You know, there's a chance that this elixir won't work. . . I don't want to mislead you."Elena looks at him intently. "I know the chance I'm taking."
Elijah suddenly speaks. "Do you know where Val is? she said she was going to be here the night before . . . "
Elena speaks up. "Yeah . . . She even promised Jenna. And she NEVER breaks her promises"Elena's face suddenly becomes worried, but she freezes when she hears a 'GET OUT!'
From the entrance of the boarding house. Jenna's voice, being hear by everyone.
'Jenna! Jenna? Jenna!?'
Alaric's voice also being heard. Elena looks to Elijah, who looks just as confused, before the both hurry to check out the problem.
.
.
."Jenna, put the crossbow down! its me!" Alaric states, pressed against the wall with both arms up in surrender. Jenna gulps. "Stay away."
Elena walks up to the two. "What's going on?" Alaric turns to Elena desperately. "It's me Elena, I swear. Klaus let me go, He let me go."
Damon walks up, face grim. "Prove it."
Alaric puts his arms down and turns to Jenna, "Okay, uhh, the first night you and I spent together, Jeremy walked in-""OKAY, That's him."
Alaric nods and Jenna rolls her eyes, before putting down the crossbow with a sigh.
"So, why'd he let you go?" Stefan asks, ignoring the weird conversation. Alaric sighs and turns to him."he wanted me to deliver a message . . . . . . . The sacrifice happens tonight."
Everyone gasps and looks around at each other. Jenna steps forward. "Wait, has anyone seen Val? She-she would usually be here for things like this . . . "
Alaric's face turns grim, Stefan notices and steps towards him. "What? What is it rick?"
Rick clears his throat, "Well, I didn't see her today, but, right when Klaus went back to his body, I gained enough consciousness, I saw Katherine . . . ."
Elijah pushes forward, past Elena. "Yes?"
"She was holding Val by the neck . . . Then I passed out."
.
.
.
.
.
I groaned awake. Sitting up and looking around, seeing I'm on a bed.
"Good morning Sunshine." Klaus smirked at me, leaning against the doorframe with a cup of coffee in hand.
I narrow my eyes at him. "You seem way too trusting of me."He shrugged, walking into the room and plopping down on the side of the bed. "Well you did do a blood pact, I doubt you would betray me after that, but if you do . . . . You know the consequences."
I smirk, sliding over to him, and grabbing the mug from his hand, taking a sip and making a face. "Hey, Give me my coffee." He raises an eyebrow, while I Just huff. "You can Keep it. . . Why is it so bitter?" he deadpans to me. "Because it's COFFEE"
I pout, He just rolls his eyes and gets up. "We come on then, My loyal servant, It's time we go greet the Salvatore's. Have you got the werewolf and the Vampire ready?"
Sighing I stand up and turn to him. "Yes, The werewolf, I asked the witches to retrieve her, while the Vampire, I've put her in the Lockwood cellar. But just know, you can't make me do ANYTHING, I will remain loyal, and I won't betray you, Got it?"
He raises his eyebrow at me, before walking out the room. I get up and jog after him, Watching him set down the coffee on a table. I turn to Katherine. "Hey, why're you still here?"
She sighs, "Well, I guess I was just sticking around for a while. know, to see how you'd be doing."
"Yes well, She's going to be leaving, NOW," Katherine flinches as Klaus Vamps up to her. I nod at her to leave, Which she does, tucking her number in my pocket, before Zooming away.
I turn to Klaus. "Wow." Making him turn to me, confused. "What is it?"
I just shrug, and walk up to him. "Honestly, I didn't know if you would have actually let her go . . . "
Klaus scoffs. "Well love, Elijah isn't the only one Capable of keeping promises, Besides, we have a pact." I smile, an nod.
.
.
.
.
It was the night of the ritual. We all stood, In an open plane. The vampire, was a dude called Jordan, Was a rapist and podophile that I came across while on a hunt. The wolf, Obviously being Jules.
I put a protection spell on Klaus , I was waiting for Gretta who was yet to arrive with Elena. My bones screamed in pain, as I held back against the full moon. My Muscles ached and my heart pumped rapidly, I had put up the barrier, now ready for the Sacrifice.
Gretta walks in with Elena, Who sees me and Tackles me into a hug. She takes my face into her hands and starts crying. I huff and smile, beads of sweat dripping down my face.
"VAL! oh my god, y-your going to be okay, okay? N-no it's going to be fine!" I smile, and grab her arm. "Elena, look at me."
She freezes, Turning her head to me, stopping herself from panicking. "I made a deal with Klaus." She gasps, "W-what, no, What did you-?"
I groan as I feel a bone crack in my arm. Elena gasps and tries to hold me up. "I-I made a deal, He allowed me to revive you after you die, Don't worry, I heard about the vampire incident, You're going to be fine, you'll wake up, you'll be human. Everyone's going to be safe."
She gasps, Gretta separates us, putting a ring of fire around Elena. I fall to the ground in pain, feeling my arm twist around and crack unnaturally.
Gretta Hurriedly holds me up, And I lean onto her, Trying to suppress the turn until the ritual finished. Elena starts crying. "VAL! no! Its-It's going to be fine!"
I stumble. "It's fine Gretta." Gretta looks at me, slightly concerned. "What's happening to you? are you alright"
I groan, and give her a smile. "It's alright, I'm Fine. Let me just make this call."
I step back and pull out my phone, Ringing bonnie.
She picks up immediately.
"VAL! ARE YOU ALRIGHT?"
"I don't have time, but Bon bon, Don't worry about Elena, I can revive her when the time comes, Just . . . . Everyone, take a break . . . Have one of the Salvatore's pick her up OKAY?"
"W-WAit what? VAl? what are you-?"
"PLEASE, listen to me."
I Immediately hang up. And turn to Gretta, who was busy telling Jules about how her insides are trying to tear themselves apart since she's slowing down the transformation.
I groan.
Guess that's what my body's tryna do huh . . . .
I stand up, and slightly limp over to Gretta, Who holds me up, concerned. Elena looks at her, trying to talk her out of the sacrifice.
"Gretta, Witches are supposed to maintain the balance in nature. It's your duty to them, to keep the curse sealed."
Gretta glares at her, Jaw clenched. "MY duty is to Klaus . . . The new order."I feel Klaus' Presence as he walks through the barrier, smiling lightly. "Glad to know I still have a dance partner."
He turns to the three Sacrifices, "Hello my lovelies. Are we ready?"
Jordan, the vampire I captured Huffs. "Bro WTF is going on? Let me go MAN!"Klaus just rolls his eyes at them. He looks at me. "Is the barrier up?"
I nod. "Yeah. Anyone who tries, won't be able to get through, at least for a while"
He smirks at me, Before turning to Gretta and handing over the moonstone. "I've got the moonstone. I spent 500 years, looking for this. . . . I hate to part with it"
I groan, falling to the ground and clutching my ribs, feeling them Crack."ARGHH AH"Klaus speeds over to me and kneels down, Pulling me into his arms as I feel another bone crack slowly. He uses his hand to turn my face and look at him, Eyes adoring, and full of wonder.
"You . . . are a werewolf?" I go to speak, but I feel my Hip crack, And I yell out in pain, turning to him, gritting my teeth. "GO! I can still hold the Forcefield for a while" He smiles at me tenderly."Wait for me love, Soon, I'll also be turning with you." He whispers, before standing up and moving over to Gretta, who looks at the moon.
"The moon is over it's apex. Remember everything you need to do?""I remember." He says, voice low, sounding at peace.
Gretta throws the moonstone into the large bowl, as it ignites and starts a flame, She begins chanting.
Jules, looks over at Elena still in pain. "E-everything I did . . . . I was just trying to help Tyler." She groans out once again. Elena looks at her, recognition on her face. "Are you Jules?"
Jules ignores her, looking to Klaus who walks up to her fire ring with a subtle smile. "Shall we?"
Jules growls, eyes turning yellow as she charges towards him, Klaus flips her over, slamming her against the ground, Before plunging his hand into her chest, Jules gasps, a stray tear, dripping down her face, Before her body goes completely limp as Klaus rips out her heart.Elena gasps, flinching slightly.
Klaus walks over to the burning flame cause by the moonstone, and starts squeezing Jules' Heart above it, Allowing the blood to drop into the bowl. He glances at me, before looking at Gretta. "Does that mean it's working?" Gretta smirks. "It's working."
Klaus then walks up to the Vampire, who stands up and walks to the edge. "HEY MAN,CHILL! WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS." Elena watches, worry in her eyes.
I groan and stand up. Jordan looks at me. "HEY YOU'RE THAT BITCH!-"I roll my eyes, "Klaus, Please kill him, He raped a 3 year old." Klaus turns to me with a smile. "Gladly." before he looks at Gretta. "When ever you're ready"
Gretta nods, Chanting a spell, and making the ring of fire around him die down. Jordan looks around quickly, before attempting to vamp away, Only to have a stake stabbed through his heart. Elena Gasps and flinches, as she watches the grey veins climb up his face, before he goes still.
Klaus stands up, and I grunt, feeling someone slam into my Forcefield."I don't recall YOU being on the guest list."
Stefan sighs. "I just . . . want to be here for her."Still not noticing my presence.
Klaus shrugs. "Fair enough." He watches Gretta pour in the different cups of blood, chanting loudly
He then walks up to Elena's fire circle, his face expressionless. "It's time"The circle of fire around her, dying down. Klaus puts out a hand for Elena to hold and stand up, instead she ignores it, getting up herself and walking part him, onto the pedestal next to Gretta.Klaus slightly glares at her as she walks by.
Klaus walks up next to her, gently grabbing her face."Thankyou, Elena." Elena glares at him. "Go to hell"
Klaus doesn't react, allowing his fangs to come out, before biting into Elena's neck.
I hear Stefan bang against the forcefield.
"NO! no! no-" He falls to his knees, following Elena's body as she flops to the ground. The fire goes out, And Klaus breaths in loudly, Slowly walking off the pedestal, towards me.Stefan, finally Sees my presence and Shouts. "NO! VAL!"
I just turn my head and smile at him, Before stumbling over to Elena's body, Saying a littles spell. I listen hard, smiling to myself as I hear the slow, but steady beats of her heart, bringing a smile to my face.
"I can feel it . . . . It's happening." I turn to Klaus, and stumble over to him, Just as he starts also stumbling. A huge smile on his face as his eyes turn yellow and he looks to the sky. "Yes, YES!"
I groan loudly, Letting myself turn. I kneel to the ground, screaming as I feel my bones crack."ARGH!"
Klaus gets flung back, As bonnie comes out from the forest. Flames erupt, and I can't focus on anything, Strangely, the pain of turning, being 10, no, 100 times worse today. I ignore my cracking bones, Throwing myself in front of Klaus, Attempting to make a forcefield to protect the both of us.
It's either this, or breaking the pact and burning for eternity.
Bonnie's eyes widen in betrayal, but she doesn't give in, Instead, tears begin streaming down her face. "Val! HOW COULD YOU! you were on his side all along! YOU DIDN'T REVIVE ELENA! You are a SPY aren't you!"
I groan, And I am flung against a tree.
You can't show her how powerful you really are, it will only do harm.
I look to Gretta. "GO!"She nods quickly, before turning to leave, instead, her neck gets snapped by Damon, who looks at me with anger in his eyes. He goes to pick up Elena, and vamps away, going up to Stefan. who nods, before vamping up next to bonnie.
Elijah speeds over to Klaus, Bonnie stops using her magic, but the flames stay lit.
"Hello brother." Elijah then plunges his hand into Klaus' chest, I gasp in pain, Feeling it in my own. My body starts shaking, I feel my bones crack more violently, but I bite my lip to supress the noise.
"In the name of our family, Niklaus." Elijah twists his hand in Klaus' chest slightly, I gasp, clawing at my chest to distract myself from the pain, I spot bonnie and Stefan glancing at me, both looking betrayed.
Klaus gasp. "I DIDN'T BURY THEM AT SEA!" he spits out desperately, Elijah freezes, eyes widening. "What?"
"Their bodies are safe. . . .If you kill me . . . You'll never find them." Elijah pauses, Watching Klaus intently.Stefan calls out. "Elijah! Don't listen to him."
"Elijah, I can take you to them. . . . I give you, my word . . . Brother" Klaus whispers out, still gasping from the hand around his heart.
Bonnie steps forward desperately. "Do it and I'll take you both out."Elijah looks at her quietly. "You'll die."
"I don't care." she spits out.
Elijah looks between Klaus, and Stefan and bonnie several times, before pausing.
"I'm sorry."
Both Bonnie and Stefan scream "NO!" and start running at them,
Instead, Elijah grabs me and Klaus, Jumping over the wall of flames.

Third person POV
Damon carries Elena into the old witch house, "Come back as a vampire, and I'll stake you myself. So don't."
He gently puts her down on a couch, He gently moves the hair from her face. "Because I can't STAND the idea, of you hating me forever."
Jeremy and Alaric run into the room. "How is she?" Jeremy's voice, full of worry.
Damon doesn't take his eyes off of Elena. "I don't know yet."
John walks past everyone, glancing at his daughter one last time, before stepping outside the house and taking a deep breath in.
Elena Gasps awake, Clutching the arm of the couch as she comes back to life. Damon's eyes, widening in relief. "Elena, hey"
Jeremy runs towards his sister, grabbing her hand as Elena looks to Damon."Damon, I-"Damon strokes her head tenderly. "How do you feel?"
Elena smiles slightly, looking up at him. "I-I feel fine . . . . WAIT DAMON, WHERES VAL?"
John, stands outside, listening to his daughter, waiting for his own death.
Inside, Damon's face Straightens, He sighs, going to break the news to Elena."Elena, Val Betrayed us . . . She didn't revive you, it was bonnie. Val was helping Klaus"
Jeremy's eyes widen slightly and begin welling up, Elena pushes Damon away.
"WHAT NO! She made a DEAL with him! She's the one who said she'll revive me" Damon sighs, fed up. "Look Elena, Bonnie had to revive you with joh-"
John runs into the room, His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Guys, I'm not dead . . . ."
Damon's eyes widen, So does Jeremy's.Elena looks at the two of them. Eyes red like she was about to cry. "What did you guys do to her?"
