51 | Catch me if you can
"Klaus still wants me to finish the mark, he's not gonna stop." Jermey said whole holding a mini cross bow in his hands.
"Ok. Well Damon's gonna be back soon and then we can figure something out." Elena said walking towards him slightly.
"Seriously, you still trust Damon?"
"He saved your life!"
"He saved the map to the cure. He couldn't care less about me."
"I care about you." Elena put her hand on Jeremy's shoulder.
He pushed it off, "Don't."
"Whatever's inside of me that makes me want to hunt, right now it's on overdrive."
"Jeremy." Elena said looking down at his hand to see he's holding a stake. He let out a deep sigh and stepped back.
"I'm sorry, I know what I have to do, Elena, I really want to get the cure for you, but I just— I don't know how I'm gonna do this." Jeremy said honestly.
Recently I decided to buy my own apartment. Well not buy, compel. I turned to my cousins. "Hey I'm gonna go home I'm feeling a bit tired." I said picking up my phone and placing it in my back pocket.
Elena nodded. "See you later." Elena said as I walked out the door. I sighed walking to my car.
I like to imagine how our lives would be if it wasn't for this "Supernatural." The drive home was a short, quiet one. I got tired of the quiet and put on music. I smiled at the song and turned it up. I pulled in to my apartment complex and hopped out of my car. I hurried inside and locked the door, speeding to my room.
I threw my phone on my nightstand and changed into more comfy clothes and flopped on my bed. I reached up and grabbed my remote turning on Netflix. After a movie and a half I slowly fell asleep.
I woke up to a call from Elena. I hesitantly answered the phone. I looked outside to see how dark it had gotten. "Hey will you come to my house?" Elena asked.
I sat up on my bed running my eyes. "Yeah, sure." I said and hung up. I got up and walked to my closet. I pulled on a random outfit I grabbed from my closet.
I put my boots on and speed to Elenas house. I stood at the end of the street and continued to walk the rest of the way. I stopped when I smelt fire. I got worried and sped the rest of the way.
I coughed up, seeing all the fire. Kol was laying on the floor in the kitchen, on fire. Elena and Jeremy were standing above his body. Elena turned the corner and saw me. I didn't even feel Klaus until he spoke, looking at Elena with so much hatred, it radiated off him.
"What did you do?" Klaus says walking closer to the barrier that was held up so he couldn't enter the house.
"We— we didn't have a choice, he was trying to cut off Jeremys arm." Elena muttered.
"Lies, he never would have gotten inside if you hadn't have set a trap for him." I glared at elena.
"You said you were gonna put him down too." Elena looked fearful, and she should be.
"I was gonna make him suffer on my terms!" Klaus sighed. "I'm gonna burn this house to the ground. And then when you try to flee for your lives, I'll kill you both without blinking." Klaus threatened.
"You kill us, you'll never get the cure, you'll never be able to make anymore hybrids." Jeremy said stepping up.
"You really think and I care for an instant about my bloody hybrids? I want the cure so I can destroy it. I would have killed you all the second we dug it up, but now I'm just gonna watch you burn instead." Klaus threatened.
I felt a pain in my head, I screamed and fell to the ground. I turned to Klaus and saw he was doing the same. I saw Bonnie walk past me inside. "Invite him in," was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
I woke up slowly. I gripped my head as it felt like I had a headache. I looked around to see I was in the living room of Elena's house. I sat up confused, even more so when I saw Klaus on the couch next to me.
"Nik?" I asked letting my eyes adjust to the brightness.
"Hello, love."
"What's going on?" My head hurt so bad I couldn't even remember what had happened before we had blacked out.
He turned to me. "The witch stuck us in here, there's a boundary spell so we can't get out." I scoffed. I felt for my phone in my pocket and it was gone. I groan and look around. I saw it on the kitchen counter.
"Why would— Ugh I didn't know Bonnie ever got the hang of her magic— or experssion whatever the hell it's called." I said as I sat back down.
"Well from the looks of it, she has."
We heard the door open and close. I heard Tyler walk in. I looked over my shoulder.
"Morning sunshine, you look pathetic." Tyler taunted at Klaus.
"Only until Bonnie's spell locking us in here wears off. Then I'll look different, angrier perhaps or I won't look like anything cause I'll have gouged your eyeballs from there sockets." Klaus glared.
"My friends will be back with the cure by then. So, I could shove it down your throat and make you mortal." Tyler taunted again.
"I'm an original. What makes you think my entire vampire bloodline won't be cured along with me, I.e. you."
"You know what I think? I think that's impossible. I think the moment you stop being a vampire our whole bloodline connection to you is broken. And your sire line ceases to exist, so, what are happens to you happens to only you, which means I can kill your ass and no one else has to die."
"Except you, if you do that I'll be the one to kill you Tyler." I said walking up closer to him.
He turned back to Klaus, ignoring me, but looking fearful nonetheless. "Although I'm not sure how to do it just yet."
Klaus sped as close as he could to Tyler. Klaus smirked. "I recommend drowning, there's nothing quite like the feeling of someone fighting for something as basic as human breath and let me tell you, your mother was a fighter."
———
It's been hours, until we heard another door open and close. In comes Caroline.
"You're still here, what are you doing?" Caroline said walking to Tyler
"He's taunting us." I spoke causing her to turn. Caroline turned to me shocked. She came to the barrier.
"Nora? Why are you in here." She asked shocked.
"Like you didn't know." I glared.
"I didn't, Nora, I didn't. Please believe me if I would've known I wouldn't have— please. I didn't know." She responded.
"Well why wouldn't they tell you I was in here too?" She shrugged and I sat back down on the couch. Caroline sighed and looked at me sympathetically.
Caroline turned to face Tyler. "Come home, don't stoop to this level."
"He destroyed my life. I plan on being present for every second of his misery, until I can kill him myself." Tyler said.
"Fine you can gloat and multitask. This place is a disaster, starting with a horrific burn corpse" Caroline took out a sheet and placed it on Kol's body or. . . ashes?
"Tyler's mother is dead, so is my brother. We're even." Klaus's Said. "Call Bonnie, and get her to let us out of here."
Caroline turned to him. "I will, never, ever, help you" Caroline hissed.
"How quickly you forget the part where I save Tyler from the misery of being a werewolf. Or the night your mother invited me into her home to save the life of her precious daughter."
"How delusional are you? You killed his mother and let's not forget that were standing in a house where Elenas Aunt Jenny used to live, you know Nora's mother." Caroline said.
I felt myself tense up.
"Or did you think that your charm would make us forget how you killed her too? Do you know what? No. I am not going to engage in this. You are not even worth the calories I burn talking to you." Caroline said walking closer to the barrier.
Klaus grabbed a lamp stick and shoved it into Caroline's stomach pulling her into the living room and bit her neck. Caroline fell unconscious. "No!" Tyler yelled standing beside the table.
"Now that was definitely worth the calories." Klaus smirked.
I rushed up from the couch just as Tyler pulled her out and I was shoved against the barrier.
