PART 2: | I STILL WAIT FOR YOU |

5094 Words
- "Wakey, wakey." Natali decided to wake up Elena who fell asleep on the couch after spending two hours rumbling through the apartment in an attempt to find something that would help her to contact her friends. Natali didn't want to waste her time and react to her rumbling, knowing that she isn't going to find anything. - "What do you want now?" Elena mumbled. - "I want you to wake the f**k up." Natali snarled at her before she sat at the table and took a paper, then wrote on it: "Doppelganger is still alive. I have her. Meet me at the high school today at 8 PM." She wrote the letter for Klaus, but on purpose she didn't sign it, wanting to leave the room for his doubts - whether she kidnapped Elena or someone else. Then she took the paper in her hands and started chanting under her breath, "Prend ce message ce au le centre se levant." - Elena lifted herself into a sitting position and she didn't wait for a second more to ask, "What are you doing?" - Natali opened her eyes and revealed that the letter from her hands was gone, "I send a message to Klaus." she informed Elena, then glanced at her continuing, "Can you be quiet for more than one minute?" - "Don't tell him I'm alive. Please." Elena begged, casting her a pleading look. - "Too late." Natali replies carelessly, ignoring her pleading. If there was one thing she hated the most about humans it was their begging for mercy. A few moments later the two of them heard a doorbell and someone knocking at the front door. Elena's eyes widened in hope that her friends found her and she rose herself on her feet. - "Say another word and I'll kill you before you can blink." Natali warned her through her gritted teeth when she saw that Elena opened her mouth in an attempt to yell. Then Natali walked towards the door and she quickly opened them, but there weren't any of Elena's friends, there was just one guy who narrowed his eyes in confusion when he saw Natali in front of him. - "Uh, is Lydia here?" He asked, uncertain of what was happening since the girl he was dating was suppose to live in this very apartment. - Natali gave him a smile she often used to seduce her next victims, "I have no idea who that is, but you're welcome to come in." - "No. Don't." Elena yelled from across the room. The guy's eyes glanced at her direction and he knew something was wrong. His eyes wandered in a panic between Elena and Natali before she grabbed his arm and pulled him into the apartment, slamming the doors behind her. - "W-what's happening?" The guy questioned in a shaky voice, "What did you do to my girlfriend?" - "Shut up." Natali compelled him and he had no other choice than to obey. She clenched her jaw and just like she said - before Elena could blink she locked her fingers around Elena's throat, raising her body a little above the floor, just enough so that her feet can't touch it. - "I told you to stay quiet." Natali drawled into Elena's ear, "I'm quick on losing my patience, so if you don't want to end up in a dumpster after I drain every drop of your doppelganger blood you better obey my order." She watched how Elena was struggling to breathe for a few more seconds before she threw her back onto the couch. She was pissed that she can't compel Elena since she still had vervain in her system. When Elena fell onto the couch and finally caught her breath, Natali turned around to look at the guy who stood like he was frozen in time. The fear got the best of him. - "Now you." Natali simply told him, before her vampire face came out and she zoomed towards him. ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ When Klaus arrived in Mystic Falls he immediately went to the high school where all Elena's friends were. He was interested in her whereabouts. And while he was questioning them where she is, the doors of the gym burst open as Natali walked in, casually saying, "They are telling the truth. I took her." at the sound of her voice everyone turned to look at her. - Klaus pointed his index finger at her firmly, "You. I should have known. Came to spoil my plans again?" - "Where is she?" Bonnie questioned, looking at the unknown girl who just entered the gym. - Natali slowly turned her head facing Bonnie, she glanced her a quickened smile, "At the safe place where none of you can find her." - She turned her head back towards Klaus, when he demanded, "Bring her here. I need to kill her." - "Oh, I don't think so." Natali protested. - Klaus narrowed his eyes at her, "What do you want?" he inquired like he didn't already know. - "What I wanted for ninety-eight years." Natali says a little too calm when compared to how she actually felt, "Give me Kol back." - Klaus shrugged and let out a short, derisive laugh, "I'm sorry, but that will have to wait. Give me Elena first." he negotiated, looking into her eyes dark and firm. Bonnie stood in the gym watching and listening what they're talking about, but she wasn't sure. In the next moment, she didn't saw Klaus standing in front of her, where he stood just a second before, instead, she gazed through the gym and saw that he was pinned against the wall by Natali. - Natali's face darkened, the black veins protruding around her eyes and her retinas deepening to a deep red hue, "Just give me the coordinates to where you dumped his body and you'll never see us again. If you don't I'll take Elena with me and you'll never find her." she retorted harshly, her nails pierced into the skin of his neck. - "How many years do I need to keep him in the box, for you to forget him?" Klaus questioned. - "No matter how long he is in there, I'll never forget him. I don't expect you to understand that, because you're not capable of caring about anyone." Natali responded. - I have one more reason not to give you what you want." it was Klaus' turn for his demons to come forth. He grabbed Natali's neck and turned them around, as he continued speaking, "Back in Chicago, you told Mikael where he can find me, didn't you?" - Natali frowned her eyebrows in confusion, "Mikael? I didn't have anything to do with that." - Klaus gripped her neck in a crushingly tight grip while saying through his gritted teeth, "Yes, you did." - "No, I didn't." Natali said in defense as she slammed her hands into his chest to push him away from her, "Why would I call him when he wants to kill you and you're the only person who knows where Kol's coffin is. - She saw that Klaus had a suspicious look in his eyes, before he decided to speak, "I'll believe you when you give me Elena." - Natali let out a laugh, knowing that Klaus would never believe her, "Let's make a deal." she suggested and continued without waiting for him to answer. "I give you Elena and help you make your little hybrids.. because I know how. And you're going to give me Kol." - "We have a deal." Klaus responded without a moment of hesitation. Natali smiled, before muttering something under her breath and revealing Elena who was near them but cloaked the whole time. - "Clever like always." Klaus stated with a smirk, looking between Natali and Elena. The first thought that crossed Elena's mind was to run and she did. But she could only get a few feet away from Natali until an invisible force pulled her backward, making her fall onto her back. - Natali laughed as she spun around to looked at her, "Sorry, that won't work." she says in a flat tone before Klaus flashed towards Elena. - He grabbed her arm and forcefully pulled her up, "You're supposed to be dead, now what are we going to do about that? Elena whimpered, as he dragged her back to where he stood before, " You put a rather large kink in my plans, sweetheart. The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids and I haven't been able to do that." - "If you're going to kill me, just do it." Elena yelled at him. - "Oh no, no. He is not going to kill you." Natali interjected into their conversation. - Klaus quirked his eyebrows, "No? What should I do then?" - "Well, since your mother never wanted you to be a hybrid or make any more of them, she made you believe that the point is for the doppelganger to be dead." Natali began explaining, "So in order to make your hybrids, you just need her blood. That's the key, I'm sure of it." - Klaus carefully listens to what she's saying. He couldn't deny the fact that it made sense. Then he gives her a smile and says, "Well the werewolf will be here soon, so we're going to try it." - "Where's Stefan? What did you do to him?" Elena asked him, defiance lacing her words and face. - Klaus glanced at her with a smirk across his face, "Stefan's on a timeout." Just then we turned around as the doors of the gym smashed open revealing Rebekah who was dragging Tyler by his neck into the gym. Tyler struggled against her and Elena began to panic. She didn't want them to hurt him since he was one of her friends. - "Get off of me." Tyler growled, struggling to get away from her. - "Hush now." Rebekah mutters to him. - Klaus looked at the both of them, before speaking, "I'd like you all to meet my sister Rebekah." he had an evil smile on his face as he added, "Word of warning. She can be quite mean." - Rebekah scowled "Don't be an ass." she spat out as she threw Tyler into Klaus' arms. - "Rebekah, long time no see. I was wondering why you didn't try to contact me." Natali says curious of what Rebekah is going to say, but also assuming what happened to her. - "I'll just say, I should have listened to your advice." Rebekah simply replied. - "Oh, you were in the box." Natali supposed. - "Yes. For ninety years." Rebekah confirmed her assumption. - "Leave him alone." Elena shouted uselessly at Klaus, watching as he dragged Tyler to face everyone. - He wrapped a thick arm around his neck before he began speaking, "I'm going to make this very simple. Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition." his voice taking on a deadly tone, "It quite horrible actually." he stated extracting his fangs and adding while glancing at Natali, "Let's see if her theory will work." then he bites his wrist and forces Tyler to drink his blood. After that he twists his head and kills him, letting his body to fall onto the floor. Everyone gasped except Rebekah and Natali. - "So this is the latest doppelganger." Rebekah remarked in a flat tone, looking at terrified Elena up and down, "The original one was much prettier." - "Enough, Rebekah." Klaus sighed, "Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?" He asked, but it sounded more like a demand. Rebekah gave him one last look and smiled reluctantly before she took Tyler's arm and dragged him from the gym. - "Just ignore her. Pretty little thing." Klaus whispered to Elena's ear, just for the fun of scaring her. - "So, it's time for my part of a deal." Natali reminded him. - "Well.. I still didn't saw if your theory for my hybrids will work." Klaus simply replied. - "That wasn't a deal." Natali exclaimed. - "Are you sure?" Klaus questioned, "Well.. now it is." he replied coldly. - "Oh Klaus, you're playing with fire. Do you know that?" Natali questioned, while she watched him intently with anger in her eyes. - "I can survive a little bit of fire." Klaus smugly answered. Natali was about to answer him when the doors burst open again, only this time it turned out to be Stefan. He had a stern look on his face. - "Stefan?" Elena breathed out. Her face was full of surprise. Natali looked at her before she followed her gaze and saw the guy that just entered the gym and she remembered him from the 20s. After that Natali unlinked Elena from herself and just walked out of the gym, not having nerves to listen to Stefan, Klaus and Elena anymore. She found Rebekah in a nearby classroom, with some blonde girl and the werewolf. - "You." The blonde girl stated, "You are the one who kidnapped Elena." She took a threatening step towards Natali, but she wasn't even slightly phased by this newbie vampire. Natali sat on one of the desks in the classroom and turned her attention to the blonde girl. At the same moment when Natali looked at her direction, the blondie started choking on her own blood, "Se, that will happen if you try to threaten me again." she told her. - When she stopped choking on her blood, Caroline asked, "Who are you anyway?" - "A witch and a vampire." Natali answered proudly with one corner of her lips quirked upwards. - "I mean what's your name?" Caroline questioned. - Natali glanced at her, she kept her smile light and playful, but the look in her eyes was something more serious as she spoke, "You know I don't like to tell my name to everyone." - "She likes to be mysterious." Rebekah stated and continued to scroll through Caroline's phone. - "Yeah. Where's the fun if everybody knows who you are." Natalia pointed out cheerfully. Caroline narrowed her eyes at both Natali and Rebekah. And before she could utter another word Rebekah suddenly snapped at her, showing her a picture on the phone, "Why is that doppelganger b***h wearing my necklace?!" She didn't wait for Caroline to answer her, instead, she stormed out of the classroom and Natali followed her. Rebekah marched into the gym and rushed towards Elena, shouting and holding up the phone to her face with a furious look, "Where is it?! Where's my necklace?" - Klaus looked confusingly at his little sister, "What are you talking about?" he sighed, slightly annoyed at her outburst. - "She has my necklace. Look." Rebekah says, showing him a phone and zooming the picture more on the necklace. - Klaus looked shocked, "Well, well. More lies." he concluded looking at the phone. - Rebekah voice then got low and deadly, "Where is it?" she asked, glaring at Elena. - "I don't have it anymore." Elena replied truthfully, shaking her head. - Rebekah, of course, didn't believe her, "You're lying!" Rebekah snarled as her face changed and she lunged at Elena, sinking her fangs into Elena's neck, knocking her to the ground. but Klaus stops her and takes her aside. - "Knock it off!" Klaus roared at her pulling her back. - "Make her tell me where it is, Nik!" Rebekah says desperately, looking at her brother. Klaus sighed and turned towards Elena, who was huddled on the ground. He slowly squatted down and asked her nicely, "Where's the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest." - Elena whimpered as she put a hand on her injured neck, "I'm telling the truth. Katherine stole it." she manages to say despite the pain. - "Katerina. Of course." Klaus sighed. - "I can try to find a necklace." Natali offered help looking at Rebekah. - At the sound of her words, Rebekah quickly turned towards her, "You would really do that?" she asked surprised. - "Let's do it before I change my mind." Natali replied and Rebekah nodded in agreement before they walked towards the door. They came back into the classroom, so Natali can do a spell to find Rebekah's necklace. - "So what now?" Rebekah questioned looking at her. - "Just sit here and give me your hand." Natali told her as she sat on the chair and Rebekah sat on the table in front of her, giving her hand to Natali. Natali took a hold of her hand and closed her eyes before she started chanting, "Anta Cotis Syrum, Anta Cotis Syrum." she began getting images of Katherine with two guys, one of them was Damon Salvatore and the other was unknown to her. They were at the cemetery and she also heard what they were talking about. She stopped chanting and let go of Rebekah's hand. - "So did you see Katherine?" Rebekah questioned. - "Yes." Natali peered up at her, before continuing, "And I also heard what they are planning to do." - At the same moment, Klaus walked into the classroom and before Rebekah could say something he asked, "What are they planning to do?" - "They are about to find Mikael." Natali replied, glancing at him. - She saw a terrified look on Klaus' face, but it disappeared quickly, "Where are they exactly?" - "At the cemetery in Charlotte's." Natali told him. - "You two should go and stop them from finding him." Klaus ordered and as Natali opened her mouth to protest he quickly added, "You'll get your precious boyfriend back, just find them first. If they free Mikael, he can kill all of us. - "Okay." Natali surprisingly agreed, "I don't want Mikael to find you anyway." - Klaus furrowed his eyebrows, "Why not?" - "Because he is not going to be the one that kills you." Natali replied, her voice got threateningly lower at the last word. She then pushed the doors of the classroom open and angrily walked out, Rebekah following at her heels. ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ Natali leads Rebekah to her car, that was parked near the high school. She drove the car and they've sat in silence for some time until Rebekah didn't decide to start talking. - "Klaus didn't tell you Kol is in the back of our truck?" Rebekah concluded, knowing Natali wouldn't waste another second for helping Klaus instead to bring Kol back. - Natali slowly turned her head towards Rebekah, giving her a deadly look, "Are you f*****g kidding me? You couldn't tell me that earlier?" she burst out. - "I'm sorry." Rebekah told her. - Natali sighed sharply, shaking her head, "You're still on Klaus' side." - "What?" Rebekah exclaimed, "I'm not on his side." - "You had a chance to stop him from vervaining me and sending me off across the ocean a hundred years ago, but you chose his side and for what? To be with that Marcellus guy? He is culpable for Kol being daggered as much as Klaus and Elijah are." Natali spoke, she expected for Rebekah to talk more, but she just briefly shook her head down and then looked to the side through the window, not wanting to meet Natali's eyes. It wasn't just Marcel who was culpable for Kol being in the box, it was her as well, probably the most of all of them, Natali just didn't know. When they've arrived at the cemetery in Charlotte, they've found a crypt where Katherine and Jeremy were at the right moment. The two of them found Mikael but they still didn't wake him up. Katherine just moved the lid of the tomb with her vampire strength and they were looking at the desiccated Mikael who was laying in it and was chained up. They were thinking of what to do next. - "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Rebekah's voice echoed as she entered the crypt first, followed by Natali. - Katherine turned around, slightly afraid when she heard Rebekah's voice and voice of Natali who was just coming into her view, "Katerina Petrova. I just meet your doppelganger the other day." - Katherine glanced between the two of them, "I know. Damon told me someone kidnapped her and I figured out it was you." - "You kidnapped my sister." Jeremy says in realization. - Natali gives him a smile in confirmation, as Rebekah spoke, "You two shouldn't be here." - "Are you afraid we'll free your daddy?" Katherine questioned in a mocking tone. - "Rebekah, I'm ready to do this if you're." Natali told her and she knew that she was talking about the plan they made while they were on their way to Charlotte. Rebekah gives her a small nod before she flashed towards Jeremy and Katherine and grabbed them by their throats. - Katherine let out a laugh thinking she is going to compel them, "I'm on vervain." - "Then it's a good thing I can wipe your memories." Natali says smugly, with a cunning smirk that took Katherine's smile off of her face. - "And that's better because I never know when I'll be daggered again." Rebekah stated, handing Jeremy to Natali. Natali locked her fingers around his neck, while he struggled to get away from her. She started muttering spell under her breath and wiping all of his memories about Mikael. When Rebekah found her necklace that Katherine had and Natali wiped her memories as well and then threw them out of the crypt. - "What are you going to do now?" Rebekah asked. - "I'm gonna put a barrier spell so no one can enter again." Natali informed her, then looked towards Mikael adding, "Close him again, will you?" Rebekah walked towards Mikael and looked down at him. He had his eyes wide open but wasn't able to move or talk, because it was a long time since he last feed. She hesitated for a moment before closing his tomb. It was already early morning when the two of them came back to Mystic Falls. They've looked for Klaus but there wasn't a sight of him anymore. He succeeded at making his first hybrid, so he left to make more of them. Rebekah led Natali to the parking lot where the truck with coffins of her family was. A wide smile appeared on Natali's face as they've reached the truck. She pushed the back door up just to see that it was empty. - Natali's eyes grow wide with anger, "Where the hell is it?" she growled as she slammed the door shut. - Rebekah shakes her head and narrowed her eyes in confusion, "Do you think Nik took them with him?" she questioned. - 'I'm going to find out." Natali exclaimed as she pulled out a phone from her pocket and called Klaus. - "Natali." Klaus greeted happily, "Miss me already?" He already knew why she was calling him and he wasn't happy about it, but he was about the fact that she won't be reunited with Kol, at least not yet. - "Where is it?" Natali questioned, demanding an answer. - "Where is what?" Klaus asked. - "You know what." Natal trailed off, "Kol's Coffin. Where is it?" Natali repeated her question. - "Didn't Rebekah told you where it is?" Klaus asked her. - Natali rolled her eyes, realizing he was just trying to stall her, "Well it's not in the truck anymore. Why did you take it?" - "I didn't take it." Klaus barked out. - "Don't play dumb with me, someone did. Tell me who." Natali demanded, her voice loud and clear. - "Did you get rid of Mikael?" Klaus asked, ignoring her question. - "I did. But I can as easily free him, so he can kill you." Natali snarled. - "No need for that, love."Klaus replied briefly, "I'll be back soon, don't think I don't want those coffins back." - Tell me who has them; Natali demanded again, her voice harsh. She was getting impatient and he was pissing her off because he was tried to ignore her question and to not give her an answer. - "Stefan took them, just for revenge." Klaus finally said the words she was waiting to hear. - Natali clenched her fist and jaw, "He is so.. dead." she says in a slow, low, threatening voice. - "I don't expect anything less." Klaus stated before she hung up. - "Damn it. Someone always needs to ruin everything." Natali snarled as she threw her phone against the truck - "We'll find him." Rebekah said trying to calm her down. She didn't want to use the word "them" because Natali doesn't care about Elijah or Finn, she just cares about Kol. - Natali let out a deep breath, before turning towards her, "Let's go and wipe Damon's memories about Mikael. And to ask him a few questions." The two of them found Damon at Salvatore's boarding house. They didn't bother to knock, they've just walked into the house and saw him sitting in the living room with a glass of bourbon in his hands. When his eyes noticed Natali, he alarmed stood up saying, "What are you doing here? He then looked at Rebekah, "And who the hell are you?" - "I'm the new girl. Rebekah. Pleasure, I'm sure." Rebekah says to him proudly, with sassiness in her voice. - "So you're barbie Klaus." Damon remarked, glaring at her. - "Enough talking." Natali says stepping closer to him, "We didn't come here to chit-chat." she informed him, just before she pinned him against the nearest wall, "It's not good for you to know about Mikael, soo.." - "How do you know about that?" Damon questioned, thinking that was the reason why Katherine and Jeremy didn't inform him if they've managed to free him, "What did you do to Katherine and Jeremy?" He tried to push her away from him, but she was much more stronger than him. - "Nothing you'll remember." Natali told him before she started chanting, "Memoria abstergent. Memoria abstergent." When he didn't remember anything about Mikael, Natali let go of him. Damon pushed her further away from him, saying, "What did you do to me?" - "Nothing, relax." Natali lied. - "Then what the hell are you two doing here?" Damon asked them. - "Where's your little brother?" Natali questioned. - "I don't know. I haven't seen him since Chicago." Damon replied, quickly, wanting to get rid of them. - Natali didn't believe him, "Hm, interesting.." she remarked, continuing, "He has something I need back, so you better find out where he is.." she warned him. - "Or?" Damon questioned, raising his eyebrow. - "Or I'll kill the doppelganger and burn this city to the ground." Natali informed him. - Damon clenched his jaw, "If you touch Elena again, I swear I'll-" he was cut off by Natali, "You swear you'll what? Kill me?" she laughs, "I would like to see you try." After leaving Salvatore's boarding house, Natali and Rebekah went separate ways. ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ For some time Natali was in her apartment feeding on some girl, when someone knocked at the door. She withdrew her fangs from girls neck annoyed that someone came, then walked towards the door. When she opened them she saw Rebekah with shopping bags in her hands and one suitcase in front of her. - "Can I stay with you?" Rebekah told her. - Natali thinks for a few seconds, "Uh, sure." she said as she opened the door more so Rebekah can come in. - Rebekah smiled, "Thanks. I know we are not as we used to be but I think you will forgive me eventually." - "Rebekah, you know I already forgive you once and I'm not so much a forgiving person." Natali reminded her, closing the door. - "I know. And I know I messed up when I told Klaus what were you and Kol planning to-" Rebekah spoke and when she saw look on Natali's face she realized she said something she shouldn't, so she stopped herself but it was too late. - "What?" Natali burst out, "You told him? And all this time I thought he figured on his own." she shakes her head in disbelief, then she pointed with her finger at the door and yelled, "Get out!" - "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have said that." Rebekah said softly. - "Get out Rebekah!" Natali shouted again. - "Please. I don't have anywhere else to go." Rebekah told her, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. - "You're a thousand years old vampire, I think you're more than capable of finding your own damn apartment." Natali spoke in a harsh voice. - "I'll help you find Kol." Rebekah suggested. - "You've done enough." Natali hissed, voice cold. - "Come on. You were my only girl company for over seven hundred years." Rebekah says, thinking that would change Natali's mind. - "And I stopped being your only girl company when you chose to be on Klaus' side." Natali snapped at her and Rebekah very well knew that was true. - "I know that was a mistake. I won't do it again." Rebekah swore softly. - "You wouldn't think that was a mistake if Klaus didn't keep you in the box for ninety years." Natali said, she didn't yell, she didn't scream, she just spoke with a disappointment and hurt tone that made Rebekah's heart clench, "I will never understand why are you so loyal to him when everything he does is destroy your happiness like everyone's else's." - "He is my brother." Rebekah told her. - "Kol is your brother too and I don't see you caring about him." Natali spoke, her voice stronger. - "I do care about him." Rebekah says calmly. - "You have a strange way of showing it." Natali declared, "Please, go." she added when she opened the front door so Rebekah can get out of her apartment. Rebekah shocked her head down, Natali could see the look of sadness on Rebekah's face, but she didn't really care. She had a vacant look in her eyes, a look that said she and Rebekah have a little hope to be like before. ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡ ⚜ ✡
