Rekindle - Klaus Mikaelson

Chapter 24; Hybrid

Lilly

3 hours, 3 god damn hours I’ve being sat here waiting for Elijah to wake up. I needed him awake before everyone in the house wakes up so I can get him out of the house to talk to him without everyone else hovering around. They’re all panicking because they’ve finally realised that Klaus is real, they didn’t really believe it until they saw it with their own eyes.

Apparently while I was unconscious Bonnie faked her death when she attacked Klaus so she is now our secret weapon once again. The thing that was bugging me was why didn’t Klaus take me when he snapped my neck? And I knew that my best chance of getting the answers I needed was from the dead Original that I was currently waiting to wake up. I looked at the dagger in my hand twirling it, I read the Gilbert journals to make sure it was safe for me to remove them and thankfully it was, I wasn’t going to kill myself.

I snapped my head towards Elijah who woke up gasping, I rushed over to him calming him down. “Elijah, It’s me, It’s Lilly” I whispered trying to calm him down. “Lilly Marie” He whispered with his eyes wide open. “I-I can’t breathe” He gasped. Oh s**t! “You haven’t been invited in” I whispered before I helped him out of the house.

“What happened?” Elijah asked looking at me as he stood outside. “Shh” I placed my finger against my lips pointing upstairs to where Damon, Stefan and Elena was sleeping. “I’ll tell you everything but not here, I need to know I can trust you” I told him quietly trying not to wake everyone else up in the house.

“Can I trust you?” He asked sadly and I knew a way for him to trust me, giving him a small smile I handed him the dagger. “I don’t need this” I told him. “Come, let’s go. Here, there’s some clothes here for you as well” I smiled handing him a fresh suit and a bloodbag.

I drove to the grill before I said anything. “Klaus is here” Was the first thing I said to him. “He’s here?” Elijah asked me. “He’s took over Alaric’s body” I chuckled, shaking my head, gotta admit the guy sure knows how to be dramatic.

“Of course he has, It’s one of his favourite tricks” Elijah told me. “What else do I need to know? You seem to know him best” I said looking at him. “I assume the Martin witches are no longer with us?” Elijah asked me raising his eyebrows.

“Nope, Luka burnt to death and his father was killed by Katherine since he tried to take Elena to Klaus, you know how everyone is about protecting precious Elena” I grumbled the last part rolling my eyes.

“So Katherine was released from my compulsion?” He asked trying to get out of answering my question, I mean just tell me what I need to know and you can be on your merry way.

“Klaus took her, I just hope she’s dead” I told him shrugging my shoulders having a drink. “I doubt that, It’s not Klaus’ style. Death would be too easy for her after what she did” Elijah mumbled. “Okay, you say you want to kill Klaus but you still made Katherine pay for betraying him. Why?” I asked intrigued.

“I have my own reasons for wanting Katerina to pay, just like you do. There was a time… I’d have done anything for Klaus” Elijah answered, looking like he was remembering something.

He told me how Klaus is his brother and that there’s a whole family of Originals, their father was a wealthy land owner in a village in Eastern Europe, and his mother bore 7 children.

“So if Klaus is your brother, why do you want him dead?” I asked confused. “As you know, nothing can kill an Original. Not sun, not fire, not even a werewolf bite. Only the wood from one tree, a tree my family made sure to burn” He started.

“That’s where the white oak ash for the dagger comes from” I stated, as I pieced things together. “Yes. Witches’ won’t allow anything truly immortal to walk the earth, every creature needs to have a weakness in order to maintain balance” He told me like I didn’t already know that.

“So if the sun can’t kill an Original why is Klaus so obsessed with breaking the Sun and Moon curse?” I asked confused, taking another drink getting into the originals life story. “Right, the curse of the Sun and the Moon. It’s all so… biblical-sounding, don’t you think?” Elijah asked smiling at me.

“Are you telling me that the curse is a fake?” I asked shocked. “Myself and Klaus faked the sun and moon curse dating back a thousand years” Elijah told me.

“So what the hell does he want with the moonstone if there isn’t a curse?” I asked confused. “There’s a curse just not that one. The real ones much worse… It’s a curse placed on Klaus” Elijah told me, as he picked his glass up.

“What’s the curse he wants to break?” I asked intrigued, this s**t is bloody messed up. “He’s been trying to break it for the last thousand years, and Elena is his only hope” Elijah answered. “Yeah, I know Elena has to die. Just tell me what the curse is” I sighed taking another drink.

“My family was quite close, but Klaus and my father did not get on too well. When we became vampires we discovered the truth, Klaus was not my father’s son. My mother had been unfaithful many years before, this was her darkest secret, Klaus is from a different bloodline. Of course, when my father discovered this he hunted down and he killed my mother’s lover and his entire family. Not realizing, of course, that he was igniting a war between species that rages until this day” Elijah explained to me.

My jaw dropped. “Species, as in werewolf?” I asked shocked, after his nod I carried on. “So if Klaus was born from a werewolf bloodline, what the hell does that make Klaus? A werewolf? Or a vampire?” I asked confused.

“He’s both Lilly. A hybrid would be deadlier than any werewolf or vampire. Nature would not stand for such imbalance of power, therefore the witches, the servants of nature, saw to it that my brother’s werewolf side would become dormant… He wants to trigger that part of him that’s a werewolf. If allowed he would sire his own bloodline. He’d build his own race. Endangering not just vampires, but everyone” I stared wide eyed.

“So because he’s a werewolf I’m guessing that silver dagger won’t work on him” I stated. “Nope, the only way to kill him is by the hands of servants of nature themselves” He told me.

“Yeah a witch if she can channel enough power” I nodded, before smirking at him. “What would you say if I told you that we had a witch who’s willing to do anything to kill Klaus and who can channel enough power?” I asked raising my eyebrow.

“I’d tell you that I have a way to save the doppelgänger” He smirked back at me, but I just rolled my eyes. “Well then, I think you should go and see my two brothers and Elena, tell them they can thank me later” I smirked at them. “I’ll see you soon, Lilly Marie” He nodded at me before leaving.

I stared off into space as I thought about everything I found out today. Klaus is a hybrid which meant this s**t just went from 40 – 100 in the matter of minutes.

I downed the rest of my drink and as I was about to order myself another one someone came and sat next to me. “Lilly Marie” He stated and as I turned my head my eyes squinted at I stared at the witch who was working with Klaus.

“You” I growled going to attack him but he started chanting and not just any spells, one of my god damn spells. “Facere cutis ardet spiritus, sentire, et succendatur”

My skin felt like it was burning, but that wasn’t what was on my mind. Where the hell did he learn it? It’s my damn spell!

“Lovely spell Lilly” He whispered before injecting me with vervain. Enough to knock me out.

Klaus

“Now that’s more like it” I smirked as I stepped out of the box that my body had been stored in while I possessed the towns very own vampire hunter. I looked over at Gretta, a Martin witch and Maddox my main witch stood to either side of the box.

I turned my head looking over at Katerina who was stood as far away from me as she could, gulping in fear as she saw me back in my own body, which was nice to know that she still fears me. Next I looked down to the unconscious human who was laid on the floor, I shook my head smirking just as my eyes landed on Lilly Marie.

I walked over to her bending down so I was level with her, moving the hair off her face I ran my finger over her cheek. “They won’t let her go easily, they seem to be all happy now” I chuckled shaking my head at Katerina’s stupidity.

“You really think that Lilly would ever truly forgive her brothers? She can hold a grudge for a very long time, Katerina, as I’m sure you’re aware of” I smirked as I picked Lilly up standing up and carrying her into the bedroom before walking back out and over to Katerina, compelling her to go to sleep. There was only so much Katerina Petrova I could take in one day.

“How long will she be out for, Maddox?” I asked him pouring myself a drink. “A couple of days, give or take” He shrugged, I sighed before I had a drink. I had no choice to do this to her, I knew what she was capable of and I couldn’t risk her ruining my chance of breaking the curse, if she had her memories then she’d be all up for helping me but for the time being this is what I have to do.

“What’s so special about her?” Gretta asked confused and with a slight bit of jealousy making me roll my eyes. “It has nothing to do with you, Gretta” I warned her, she had to know by now that once I broke this curse, she’ll cease to exist.

“Do you have it Maddox?” I asked turning back to look at him he pulled the moonstone out of his pocket handing me it. I smiled as I held it between my thumb and index finger. “Hmm” I hummed before I made my way into the bedroom where Lilly was.

I leant against the closed door looking at Lilly, the one woman who could destroy me with one sentence, the only woman that sees me at my best and worse and sticks with me through it all. Well that was until the worst night of my entire long life.

I walked over and sat next to her on the bed looking down at her, smiling to myself. I never thought I’d see the day Lilly Marie was unconscious, she can be just as strong as us originals. “They have no idea” I mumbled before I pressed my lips against her forehead and jumped into bed.

I laid there thinking, I’ve been waiting for this for over a thousand years, and everything was in place.

Elena was exactly where I wanted her, she has the 2 Salvatore brothers protecting her, she wasn’t going to turn herself into a vampire and she isn’t going to run. So, she was just simply waiting for me to take whenever I liked.

I have Lilly back, exactly where she’s supposed to be.

I looked over at her and smiled but something caught my eye, the ring she was wearing, the ring I got her a couple of months after we met.

Why was she wearing it? I sighed before I let my eyes close falling to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning I had Maddox place a spell on the bedroom so only myself could walk in freely before Gretta left with him to retrieve me the 2 werewolves that was in town – Tyler and Jules which I managed to bring back to town and for the vampire I had them get me Caroline.

I sat at the breakfast bar having a glass of blood as the vampire hunter woke up. Smirking to myself I turned my head towards him. “Alaric, my pal” I smiled standing up and walking over to him. “Who are you? What did you do to me?” He asked sitting up. “My names Klaus, I’m sure your little friends have told you all about me” I smirked down at him.

“What do you want with me?” He asked me. “Well I’ve been using your body to watch my doppelgänger, but your last job is to pass on a message for me” I told him as I bent down looking at him. “The sacrifice happens tonight, and tell them not to do anything stupid. Now you can leave” I compelled him.

When he left I went back to drink the rest of my blood. A while later Maddox messaged me letting me know he had the wolves and vampire.

I looked over at Katerina who was just waking up, I rushed over to her and grabbed her by the neck pinning her to the wall. “Leave Lilly Marie alone. You don’t leave this apartment until I tell you to” I compelled her.

I let her drop to the floor before grabbing my leather jacket and making my way to the grill, I knew that’s where Damon Salvatore would be, I’ve heard it’s like his second home.

As I walked in I looked around at everyone who was here, the naïve humans who are too gullible to even notice the dangers that lived in this town.

My eyes locked onto Damon Salvatore and Alaric who was sat at the bar, I smirked as I made my way over to them. “Gentlemen, why so glum?” I asked as I stood next to Damon.

“Eugh! Klaus I presume?” Damon groaned turning his head towards me. “In the flesh” I smirked at him before looking at Alaric. “Thanks for the loner mate” I smirked at him.

“Any reason you stopped by to say hi?” Damon asked standing up in front of me. “I’m told you and your brother fancy my doppelgänger. I just thought I’d remind you not to do anything you might regret” I warned them.

“Thanks for the advice, I don’t suppose I could talk you in to a postponement by any chance could I?” Damon asked. “You’re kidding?” I asked before looking at Alaric. “He’s kidding right?” I asked. “Not really” Alaric mumbled making me stare at them.

“I mean come on. What’s one month in the whole grand scheme of things?” Damon asked smirking. “Let me be clear, I have my vampire, I have my werewolf, I have everything I need, the ritual will happen tonight... So if you want to live to see tomorrow, don’t screw it up” I warned him.

“Where’s my sister?” Damon asked glaring at me. “She’s safe, that’s all you need to know” I told him. “Leave my sister alone, she hasn’t even done anything to you” Damon snapped crossing his arms over his chest.

“Lilly is no longer your concern mate. just let her go, again” I glared at him before going to walk out but I was stopped by Damon grabbing my arm.

I flicked my eyes down to his hand that was on my arm, before I turned my head to look at him. “Touch my sister and I’ll kill you myself” He gritted out making me chuckle. “Something tells me that I already have” I smirked at him before making my way back to Alaric’s apartment.

I could tell something was different with Katerina, and I could smell vervain, silly girl. I walked into the bedroom to check on Lilly – who was still knocked out. I’m sure she’ll kill me when she finds out that it was me who gave Maddox one of her spells, and I’m 100% sure that she’s going to kill him.

I walked out into the open plan kitchen and living room where Katerina was making some coffee. “Everything okay?” She asked. “What have you been doing?” I asked her crossing my arms over my chest.

“Making coffee. Do you want some?” She asked raising her eyebrow, I rushed over to her grabbing her by her throat before I compelled her. “Tell me what you’ve been doing”

“Making coffee” She answered, I stared at her, does she really think I’m that stupid? As I let her go she grabbed her neck gasping for air and turning her back towards me going to walk away, but I stopped her.

“Wait, take off your bracelet” I told her and thankfully she listened and passed it to me. “Now, I want you… to walk over to the window and stand in the sunlight” I told her.

“But I’ll burn” She said with fear in her voice, I raised my eyebrow. “You don’t have a choice” I told her crossing my arms over my chest. She walked over to the sunlight that was sneaking through the curtains making the side of her face start to burn and her letting out a scream.

I smiled at her. Ahh, she might be on vervain but I could torture with the compulsion since she’ll be doing it herself.

“That’s enough” I told her after a while. I didn’t need her to burn to death, plus I needed her to do something for me. I had my back up werewolf I just needed a backup vampire, and Katerina was going to get me one.

I knew the Salvatore brothers would try something, so I needed to be prepared.

“Guess I was wrong” I shrugged playing dumb, this way she’ll keep up this charade for longer. “All right then. I need you to do something for me” I told her. “I need a backup vampire” I added.

“Who?” She asked sounding worried. “Don’t fret Katerina, It’s not you, I’m having too much fun and I’m sure Lilly’ll have some fun as well. I need you to lure Jenna out so I can turn her” I told her.

She nodded gulping, I grabbed her before I left to the Gilbert home. Katerina phoned Jenna pretending to be Elena who was in danger, and just like I knew she would Jenna came running out of the house, I grabbed her and pulled her towards me so her back was against my chest.

I bit into my wrist before I forced her to drink it, when I knew she had enough, I quickly snapped her neck.

Back-up vampire sorted.

I took Katerina back to Alaric’s before I left with Jenna, taking her to Gretta who was at the Quarry getting everything ready, she was also watching Jules, who’s transformation would go a lot slower tonight thanks to the spell Gretta placed on her.

I tortured Jules for a bit, I heard about what her and her pack had done to Lilly and I wasn’t too happy. Nobody hurts what’s mine!

When I was finished I made my way to the Salvatore’s to get my doppelgänger.

“Thanks for today” The doppelgänger thanked Stefan as she stood in front of him. When Stefan noticed my presence he quickly turned around making sure that Elena was behind him.

“You’ve got me all nervous, I thought maybe you’d done something stupid... Are you ready my dear?” I asked the doppelgänger.

“I’m ready” She took a step towards me but Stefan stopped her. “No” He stated as I glared at him. “I wouldn’t, no reason for you to die too” I spoke deadly with no emotion on my face.

“You’ve already took my sister, now you want to take my girlfriend” Stefan started but Elena stopped him before I killed him.

“No, Stefan, hey, hey, it’s fine, it’s fine. I’ll go. No one needs to get hurt. There’s no reason for you to get hurt” Elena told him before giving him a kiss.

“I love you” She whispered, I sighed and rolled my eyes, call me cynical but this lovey dovey crap was tad annoying. “I love you” He whispered before they both kissed again. “Close your eyes, close your eyes” She whispered, and as soon as his eyes closed I grabbed her and flashed away to Gretta, who was waiting to take her to the Quarry.

I had a webcam set up where Jules was so I could keep my eye on her since Gretta couldn’t be with her the whole time, so when I got back I set it all up so I could sit and watch her myself.

“Where’s Maddox? He should be back by now” I asked as I walked back into Alaric’s apartment. “I don’t know” Katerina shrugged, I sat down opening my laptop to reveal the video stream from the webcam I set up. Jules was laying on the floor still chained to the wall.

“What are you doing? Where’s Elena?” Katerina asked. “I sent her off with Gretta” I told her watching the laptop screen as Jules started her transformation. “It’s almost time” I spoke with a smirk on my face, after a thousand years I was finally breaking the curse, I was finally going to be a hybrid.

The door slammed open making me turn my head towards it but nobody was there, but I knew who it was. “I wasn’t aware you’d been invited in” I spoke not even looking at Damon who was stood behind me.

“I’ve come to tell you that you need to postpone the ritual” He spoke bravely, making me smirk. “Didn’t we already have this conversation?” I asked him. “Yeah well that was before I rescued your werewolf and vampire and killed your witch” He told me sounding proud of himself.

I quickly stood up facing him. “Excuse me?” I asked walking closer to him. “And you can kill me for it, I don’t care. It was all me” He spoke as I stared at him. “Katerina, give us a moment” I told her, when she was gone I took a step closer to him. “I’ve heard about you. The crazy, impulsive vampire, in love with his brother’s girl” I smirked as he shrugged his shoulders.

“I knew one of you would try to stop me, it was just a Fifty-Fifty guess on who” I told him walking over to my laptop putting the sound on so he could hear Jules’s screams.

“The nice thing about werewolves are they tend to travel in packs” I told him before closing my laptop chucking my phone at him. “Go on, take a closer look” I smirked at him. “Jules” Damon mumbled

“When you spend a thousand years trying to break a curse, you learn a thing or two. First rule – always have a backup, backup werewolf, backup witch” I told him. “Backup vampire” Damon spoke up glaring at me. “Lilly?” He asked gritting his teeth.

“No, but I’ve got the vampire covered too” I gritted out before snapping his neck before walking over to Lilly picking her up before speeding off to the Quarry. I wasn’t leaving Lilly there now that Maddox was dead, I didn’t know if the spell would still work so I didn’t want to leave her there in case her brothers try and rescue her.

“My duties to Klaus, the new order” Gretta told the doppelgänger as I walked towards them. “Well that’s good to know” I spoke smirking making them all look towards me.

Elena, Jules and Jenna was trapped in a circle of fire thanks to the witch, I looked down to Lilly and chuckled, she has no idea.

“Lilly” Elena gasped, seeing her unconscious in my arms. “Hello my lovelies, are we ready?” I smirked at the 3 of them.
