Rekindle - Klaus Mikaelson

25; Leaving

Klaus

I laid Lilly down out of the way, I didn’t want her brothers finding her if they turned up which they probably will to save the doppelgänger.

I walked over to Gretta pulling the moonstone out of my pocket. “I’ve got the moonstone. I spent 500 years looking for this, I hate to part with it” I told her before handing it to over as she looked up at the full moon.

“The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?” She asked me. “I remember” I nodded.

She dropped the moonstone into a bowl that held a small fire once it touched the flames sparks flew everywhere as the moonstone was destroyed.

500 years looking for something, for it to get destroyed.

When she started chanting the spell I walked over to Jules who laid on the ground moaning in pain. “Everything I did… I was just trying to help Tyler” She gasped out looking over at Elena.

“Are you Jules?” Elena asked confused. “I didn’t want him to be alone” Jules told her. I chuckled looking down at the werewolf. “Shall we?” I asked her raising my eyebrows.

The ring of fire disappeared from around her and once she noticed she was free her eyes turned yellow before she used her werewolf speed to try and attack me, but I obviously got the upper hand and pinned her to the floor.

I punched my hand through her chest grabbing hold of her heart, she looked up at me with tears in her eyes. I didn’t say anything, I just ripped her heart out. I sat and watched her take her last breath, a tear falling down her cheek, while I had a smirk on my face.

I breathed deeply as I held the heart in my hands, I looked over at Elena and Jenna who looked scared and horrified, build a bridge loves, and get over it.

I stood up and walked over to Gretta and held the heart over the ceremonial bowl, squeezing the blood onto the flames.

“Does that mean it’s working?” I asked her as I watched the flames dance about. “It’s working” She nodded.

One down. Two to go.

When the heart was free from the werewolf’s blood, I made my way over to Jenna and Elena who was still sat surrounded by the fire. “Hello Jenna”

They both stood up looking at me. “Let her go. I understand that I have to die but she doesn’t!” Elena begged taking a step closer to the flames resulting in them flaring up making her step back.

“Careful” I warned her, I didn’t need her dying just yet, if she died there was no other chance for me to break this curse. “Elena, don’t” Jenna warned her. “No, Jenna! We can’t leave Jeremy without a family” Elena snapped before looking at me. “I followed your rules; I did everything that you asked, I didn’t run, please” She begged.

Instead of answering her I smirked to myself. “Well, well” I looked up at the top of the quarry. “I don’t recall you being on the guest list” I spoke normally knowing he would still hear me.

“I’m here to talk” He told me, I smirked as I looked at Elena and Jenna who was looking up at the top of the cliff. Once they noticed Stefan they both gasped. “Very well” I spoke before rushing up to stand in front of him.

“What can I do you for, Mr Salvatore?” I asked smirking at him raising my eyebrows and crossed my arms over my chest. I already knew what he wanted, he wants to be the hero of the day.

“You don’t need to kill Jenna, I’ll take her place” Stefan offered making my smirk grow, so predictable. “Oh, I don’t know, I rather appreciate the symmetry of 3 women, 3 goddesses, sacrificed at nature’s altar” I spoke as I circled him.

Stefan turned around to face me. “Don’t play games with me, you’ll get what you want either way” He stated, making me laugh. “You’re quite the hero, aren’t you? I’ve heard that about you” I stated. “Just make the trade, me for Jenna” He bargained.

I stared at him, my lips twitching. “And what would the lovely Elena say about this? In fact let’s find out shall we?” I smirked before we made our way down the cliff top towards Elena and Jenna.

“Quite the predicament. You know it’s funny, all this talk about preserving family and here’s Stefan granting you that wish” I spoke towards Elena. “Stefan…” Elena trailed off, not knowing what to say. “It’s okay” Stefan told her, nodding his head.

“Well” I started pointing the stake between Jenna and Stefan. “Who’s it going to be, Elena?” I asked her.

“No” She shook her head. “Oh, don’t worry, there’s actually no choice” I told her before I sped behind Stefan and shoved the stake into his back making him fall to his knees groaning in pain.

“No! Stefan! No!” Elena cried watching him as he sat on his knees. “I have other plans for your boyfriend. I want him alive. But for now…” I trailed off as I snapped his neck.

Elena gasped as he fell face first onto the floor, unconscious. “Whenever you’re ready Gretta” I called.

When the ring of fire died out around Jenna I took a step towards her. “No” Elena cried. “Your turn” I smirked at Jenna ignoring Elena.

“No, Jenna! No!” Elena cried trying to get to her but the flames flared up. “It’s alright, Elena. I know what I have to do” Jenna told her looking at her before she sped over to Gretta and bit into her neck.

I sped over to Jenna and staked her in the back pulling her off Gretta, I didn’t need my witch dying just yet, I still need her to finish the ritual.

I pushed Jenna onto the floor pulling the stake out of her back. Jenna looked over at Elena who was telling her to flip the switch but I just flipped Jenna over onto her back making her look at me.

I could tell she turned her emotion off but I wasn’t bothered as I staked her in the heart. “No! Jenna! No!” Elena cried.

I stood up leaving the stake in Jenna’s heart, as Gretta poured the blood into the ceremonial bowl. I looked over at Elena and Stefan who had just woke up trying to get the bit of stake I left in his back out.

I made my way over to Elena smiling down at her. “It’s time” I held my hand out towards her as the ring of flames died out around her. She stood up and walked pass me, ignoring the hand I offered her. She walked over to the altar standing next to Jenna looking down at her.

I followed her up to the altar and grabbed her face making her look at me. “Thank you, Elena” I thanked her. “Go to hell” She snapped before staring blankly in front of her.

I smirked to myself. She’s brave. I let my face vamp out before biting down on her neck letting her blood pour into my mouth. When I knew she was dead I let her body fall to the floor, her blood dripping from the corner of my mouth which I wiped off as the flames from the bowl died out.

I started breathing heavily once I felt it happening, I could feel it as the part that has being dormant for 1000 years came back to life.

I slowly made my way down the stone steps. “I can feel it. It’s happening” I whispered looking up at the full moon just as my bones started breaking ready for me to turn into a werewolf.

“Yes, yes!” I gasped as my transformation was still going but before I could think about it anymore I was thrown through the air. I looked over to see what was happening when I noticed the Bennett witch stood near the altar holding her hands out towards me.

“No! You were dead!” I hissed in pain before looking at Lilly who I thankfully landed near, so when I can I could get us both out of here, I wasn’t losing her again.

As Bonnie carried on the spell, trees that was surrounding us started falling, I screamed in pain as I laid against a rock, all the time keeping my eyes on Lilly. Before I could think of a way to get us out of here Elijah sped in front of me as Bonnie stopped chanting. “Elijah” I gasped confused and angry at the traitor I call my big brother.

“Hello, brother” He smiled down at me before punching his hand into my chest, grabbing onto my heart. “In the name of our family, Niklaus-“ He started but I interrupted him. “I didn’t bury them at sea!” I rushed out as I flicked my eyes over to Lilly. I needed to make sure she was still there, I couldn’t lose her again, I refuse to lose her. “What?” Elijah asked making me look back at him.

“Their bodies are safe. If you kill me, you’ll never find them” I gasped out since his hand was still holding my heart. “Elijah, don’t listen to him” Stefan spoke up. “I can take you to them, I give you my word… brother” I whispered.

“Do it, and I’ll take you both out” The witch spoke up. “Then you’ll die” Elijah told her not taking his eyes off me, and I knew he was going to get us out of here.

“Lilly” I gasped out just before he grabbed me and Lilly and sped us away from the Quarry.

As soon as he let me go and placed Lilly onto the floor, it took no time for my change to stop, and for me to be running on 4 paws.

***

I woke up with the sun shining in my eyes as it peaked through the trees that surrounded me. I looked around my surroundings smiling to myself.

That was amazing!

“You’ve been busy” I snapped my head over towards Elijah, as he threw a change of clothes at m, I flicked my eyes down towards his feet seeing that Lilly was still knocked out.

“That was amazing, how long has it been?” I asked him as I put the change of clothes on. “Almost 2 days. The full moon came and went and you remained a wolf” Elijah told me as I fastened my belt.

“I can change at will then. That’s good to know… I remember every kill” I laughed as I pulled the top over my head.

“You’ve had your fun, I believe we have a bargain” Elijah reminded me earning a roll of the eyes from me.

“That’s right, now what was it exactly?” I mussed with a small chuckle noticing the look on my brothers face. “Oh yeah, I remember, you wish to be reunited with our family” I smirked. “You gave me your word, Niklaus” Elijah stated.

“Now what sort of brother would I be to break his bond? Even if you did try to kill me” I glared at him as I put my boots on.

“I could have, but I didn’t” He told me as he helped me into my jacket. “Now no one can, not even you” I told him as I turned around to look at him. “Relax brother, all is forgiven” I told him patting his shoulder.

“Where are they?” He asked as I picked Lilly up off the floor. “You need to lighten up brother, I’ll bring you to them soon enough” I told him before I walked off with Lilly in my arms.

As I walked into the vampire hunter’s apartment, Elijah behind me and Lilly still knocked out in my arms, Katerina came out pulling Stefan Salvatore behind her. “Klaus, you’re back. Look who decided to come for a visit”

I smirked as I looked over at him as he stared at Lilly who I laid down on the couch. “You just keep popping up don’t you” I smirked. “I need your help… for my brother” He stated making my smirk grow.

I knew Damon Salvatore was slowly dying from a werewolf bite, I could smell the werewolf venom on him when he came to visit trying to stop me going through with the ritual.

“Well, whatever it is it’s gonna have to wait a tick. You see, I have an obligation to my brother that requires my immediate attention” I told him before walking into the bedroom where I kept the trusty little dagger.

“You understand how important family is, or you wouldn’t be here, my brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own” Elijah told Stefan before I sped behind him.

“And so I shall” I spoke making Elijah turn around to face me just before I stabbed the dagger through his heart, temporarily killing him.

I rushed over to Stefan and pushed him against the wall. "Now, what am I gonna do with you?" I asked as I shoved a stake through his chest just missing his heart. He groaned and started to buckle forward, but I held him up. "Do you feel that? It's scraping against your heart, the slightest little movement and you're dead" I smirked at him.

"He's just trying to help his brother" Katerina spoke up as she stood watching us. "The witches said you have a cure, make me a deal. Just give me the cure and let Lilly go, and I'll do whatever you want" Stefan gasped out.

I pulled the stake out making him fall to the floor before I walked over to the breakfast bar placing the bloody stake on top of it and poured myself a glass of blood.

"Trouble is I don't know if you'd be any good to me the way you are now, you are just shy of useless" I spoke before I had a drink of the blood.

I stood up and walked back over to Stefan who was still on the floor. "I heard about this one vampire, crazy bloke, always on and off the wagon for decades. When he was off, he was magnificent. 1917, he went into Monterrey and wiped out an entire migrant village... A true ripper. Sound familiar?" I asked as I crouched down in front of him.

"I haven't been that way in a very long time" Stefan argued earning a shrug of the shoulders from me. "Well, that's the vampire I can make a deal with, that is the kind of talent that I can use when me and your sister leave this town" I smirked at him.

Stefan stood up staring at me. "Katerina, come here" I ordered.

Once she was close enough to me I quickly grabbed her arm letting my face vamp out, before biting down onto her wrist.

"Aah! Aah! No. No...No. No. No" Katerina cried as she looked at the werewolf bite I left her with. I smirked to myself before biting down on my now healed wrist before forcing her to drink my blood.

Stefan watched confused, but realization took over when he watched the werewolf bite heal.

"You want your cure? There it is" I told him making him turn his head towards me. "Your blood is the cure" Stefan stated shocked. "Gotta love Mother Nature" I smirked at him as I place my hand on his shoulder. "Now... Let's talk, you and I" I told him before I walked away.

I grabbed a small vial and a knife before sitting at the counter in the kitchen. I held onto the knife in my hand letting my blood pour into the vial.

Stefan followed watching me. "There it is, you want to save your brother? How 'bout a decade-long bender? And I have big plans for you when we leave this town" I smirked as I placed the vial onto the counter in front of me.

"I'm not like that anymore" Stefan shook his head. "Well, that's too bad, you would’ve made a hell of a wingman" I chuckled before I started to pour my blood down the sink that was in the vial.

"Wait" Stefan stopped me.

I smirked turning my head towards him. "Now that's more like it. I want you to join me for a drink" I told him before I slid a bloodbag over to him. He stared at me for a couple of seconds before drinking the blood.

Keeping my eyes on him I smirked as I lifted my own glass of blood up to my lips.

"Finish it, all of it. You do everything I say and I save your brother. That's the deal. As for your sister, she'll be joining us" I smirked once I noticed he was only going to have a mouthful.

Stefan looked at me before going back to the bloodbag, drinking it all. I threw him another one. "Again" I snapped making him drink it.

I made him drink bloodbag after bloodbag to prove to me that he would be of use to me while we left this dreadful town.

Stefan looked up at me as he sat on the floor drinking one of the bloodbags with a couple of empty ones surrounding him looking like the ripper he is.

"You're very cooperative. It's almost as if you're enjoying it" I smirked before I threw him another bloodbag for him to drink. "No more, not until you give me the cure" Stefan refused.

I picked the bloodbag back up bending down to be level with him. "Not until we make a deal. It's your choice Stefan. You can either remain here living your life in Mystic Falls or you can embrace what you truly are, leave town with me and save your brother's life" I told him as I held the bloodbag out for him.

It was down to him now, but I knew what he'd do. Save his brother.

He snatched the bloodbag out of my hand before he ripped into it. "That's the spirit" I smirked before I grabbed the vial of my blood.

I walked over to Katerina and passed it to her. "Sweetheart..." I started to compel her. "Take this over to Damon and come right back"

"You want me to leave?" She asked and I smirked. Ah miss Katerina Petrova, your end will be soon, but not right now.

"No!" Stefan cried out making me smirk. "Yes and if I was you..." I trailed off as she grabbed the vial and rushed out of the door. "I'd hurry" I chuckled before I sat down in a chair next to Lilly.

"She'll never take it to him" He shook his head as he stayed sat on the floor looking hopeless. I c****d my head to the side silently telling him I wasn't bothered.

"She'll never take it to him" Stefan whispered again, looking down at the floor shaking his head.

Ignoring the vampire who was being depressing on the floor I walked over to Elijah picking him up and taking him outside putting him into the back of the car, once he was in I went back up for Lilly and Stefan.

Stefan silently followed behind me as I carried Lilly down placing her in the passenger seat making Stefan sit in the back with a dead Elijah.

Lilly was still unconscious but I'm sure she won't be for much longer. In fact I'm surprised that the spells still going since Maddox was dead thanks to Damon Salvatore. I’m sure Lilly won’t be too impressed, I’m sure she would have wanted to do that herself. I got everything I needed before I jumped into the driver's side driving off to the warehouse where the rest of my family was being stored.

I jumped out of the car with Stefan behind me as I carried Elijah over to his open coffin placing him in it. "I suppose, brother, you've been reunited with our family" I spoke looking down at Elijah before closing the coffin and looking over at the two compelled men I had to keep an eye on my family and move them about for me.

"Put him with the others. We're leaving town tonight" I told them before looking over at Stefan who was on his phone. "So... Did Katerina make it in time?" I asked him. "You won't be seeing her again, you know" Stefan stated making me chuckle.

"Because she's on vervain? I've been around a long time, Stefan. I rarely get played for a fool. Besides, she won't get far. You'll help me see to that" I told him.

Stefan walked over to me. "What is it you really want from me and my sister?" He asked. "All will be explained in time. Once we leave this tragic little town"

"Then are we done here? Can we go?" Stefan asked sounding desperate.

"Not quite. You see, I have a gift for you" I told him before calling out to the compelled human. "Come here, sweetheart. Don't be afraid" I called holding my arm out to her as she walked out from in between some wooden crates.

"See, I wanna make sure you honour our deal... that you'll be of use to me" I spoke to Stefan before I bit into the girls' neck drinking some of her blood. "I could have compelled her to behave but a real ripper enjoys the hunt" I smirked before I let the girl go.

She ran away screaming, but after looking at me Stefan rushed in front of her stopping her and biting down on her neck drinking her blood until her heart stopped beating.

I looked over at him, smirking. "Now we can go" I walked back over to the car and jumped into the driver's side looking over at Lilly pushing the hair out of her face. God, how I’ve missed her. She looked so peaceful, like she had no problems.

Coming out of my thoughts to a door slamming, I turned my head towards Stefan who was sulking to himself. “What do you want with my sister?" He asked confused. "Well that's between me and your sister, Stefan" I told him vaguely looking down at my left hand.

Sighing I put my foot down passing the Mystic Falls boarder just as Lilly woke up.

Here goes nothing.

Lilly

I groaned as I woke up, I felt like I'd been asleep for days. "I'm gonna kill that witch" I grumbled pissed off.

I'm gonna kill him slowly. I'll even share my power relinquishment spell to have a witch take away his magic, but I’ll kill the witch after.

"Your brother beat you to that, love" I turned my head towards the voice not knowing who it belonged to and I came face to face with a blonde hair and blue eyed man.

Hottie!

"Klaus, I presume. I thought you was supposed to be dead" I grumbled looking back out of the passenger window.

"It didn't seem to work out that way, love" He chuckled, but I just glared at him. "Where did your witch learn that spell?" I snapped.

"From me" He smirked. "Yeah, well where did you learn it from?" I asked. "From a powerful witch" He answered vaguely.

ARGH!

I looked down at the clothes I was wearing and noticed I was wearing the same clothes as I was the morning I woke Elijah up. "How long have I been out?" I asked.

"I had my witch knock you out for a couple of days" He shrugged like it was no problem, I snapped my head towards him. "You stupid hybrid bastard!" I snapped.

"Eugh! Give it a rest Lilly" Stefan groaned, making me snap my head towards him, only just now noticing he was in the car aswel.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked, looking between him and Klaus. "We're not in Mystic Falls anymore. We're going on a little road trip" Klaus smirked at me.

I sighed and slumped back into the seat. Well this was sure to be fun.
