Stefan was feeding off of Chad. It's rather sad how desensitized I've become to people feeding on humans until they don't have any more blood, I didn't even bat an eye. I was tucked safely under Klaus' arm, just watching everyone in the room. "It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element. The species has become such a broody lot." Klaus said to me with a fond smile, lightly touching my nose.
I nodded my head in agreement. "I blame Edward Cullen. Just saying."
I looked over at my sister to see her angrier than ever before, "No. You did this to him." She accused Klaus which I mean, yeah that's fair.
Klaus shook his head with a grin, "I invited him to the party, love. He's the one dancing on the table."
The gym doors open and we all glance over, except Stefan, who was draining chad of life. Rebekah stormed into the room, she looked angry, but something seemed false almost calculated. "Where is it?! Where's my necklace?"
My eyes widened, and I glanced over at Elena, whose neck was bare of any necklace. Klaus tightened his hold on my waist and stared at his sister, "What are you talking about?"
"She has my necklace. Look." Rebekah handed Klaus the phone to see a picture of Elena with the talisman hanging off her neck. Klaus locked his jaw and looked at Elena and Stefan, "Well, well. More lies." Then he glanced down at me, "And you would have known too, yet you said nothing." I tried to get out of his grip, but he just pulled me closer, "Why didn't you tell me?"
I stared at him sadly, "She's my sister, I had to protect her. It's my job."
Even if Klaus wanted to deal with my newly discovered secret, Rebekah took that moment to vamp out and try to rip off her head with her teeth. As soon as she attacked, I gasped and tried to reach Elena, but Klaus beat me to it. "Knock it off!"
The Original Sister wasn't happy with the interruption and turned to Klaus angrily. "Make her tell me where it is, Nik!" She demanded.
I walked over to Elena and pulled her hand away from her neck, looking at the wound. Pulling a piece of fabric from my shirt, I put it in her hand and pressed it to the bite mark. "Keep this on it," I told her softly, earning a nod before she glanced back at Klaus and Rebekah.
The pair were staring at us contemplatively. "Where's the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest."
"I'm telling the truth. Katherine stole it." Elena affirmed to the pair softly. We met eyes, and I searched for the truth.
After a moment, I nodded and turned to Klaus, "She's not lying, I always know when she is. If she says Katherine has it, then I'm inclined to believe her."
Klaus winced and nodded, "Katerina. Of course. Well, that's unfortunate. If we had the necklace, it would make things a whole lot easier for your witch, but since we're doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?"
I watched him in confusion as he hits a couple of buttons on the clock and put a time up there. Then he walked over to Stefan and looked him dead in the eye, "Twenty minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again. Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena. You know you want to."
Immediately I moved my sister behind me as my eyes widened. "No, Klaus! Don't do this to him!" She shouted.
Klaus looked back over at us, seeing me shaking my head at him. Then, he turned back to Stefan. "No one leaves. If she tries to run, fracture her spine."
My heart jumped, and I tightened my grip on Elena, "No! No, Klaus, please! Please, she's my sister, she's only seventeen, please, don't do this! I can't lose her." I pleaded with him, tears welling in my eyes.
The hybrid looked over at me, and in an instant, he was holding me, and we were gone. When we stopped running, I looked around to find myself in the town square, it was at least a twenty-minute walk from here to the school. What was worse is that Klaus was gone now so I couldn't give the fanged puppy a piece of my mind.
Sighing, I looked around and thanked my luck when I saw Alaric's car. "Thank god!"
In the Mystic Grill, Alaric sat at the bar enjoying a drink, I almost felt bad for interrupting. "Rick! Thank god I found you, I need your keys, Elena's in danger!" I said when I reached him.
Alaric stood up and hugged me tightly. "Oh my god, we were so worried about you Europa."
"Thanks, but right now we have to get to the school." I said urgently, "Stefan is there with Elena and Klaus compelled him to kill her in just over fifteen minutes." I explained.
There was a brief pause as Rick processed what I told him. "Right, to the car." I nodded, and we ran out of the Grill to Alaric's car.
Before Rick could get in the driver's seat, I took his keys and hopped in. "Why are you driving? I'm older!"
"And I'm soberer, so I get to drive, shotgun shuts his tipsy cakehole."
As soon as Rick was buckled in, I hit the gas and sped towards the school. "Holy shit! Europa we have to be alive to save," He let out a short scream as I took a turn too fast, "Elena," He finished breathlessly.
After about a minute of driving, flashing lights lit up my rearview mirror. "Great, now we have to deal with Liz. This is why speeding is bad." I ignored Rick and pressed down further on the acceleration. "You aren't slowing down. Europa that is evading arrest! Oh my god, we are so dead."
After a three-minute car chase, we skidded to a stop in front of the school. "You've got Liz, right?" Rick just groaned and nodded his head. "Great," I reached into his glove box and pulled a couple of vervain grenades from the glove box, "I need these."
Then I jumped out of the driver's seat as Liz was approaching it, gun pulled. "Can't talk Sheriff, have to save my sister, talk to Rick!" I shouted as I ran towards the school.
I didn't get a hallway in when I found my path blocked by a very annoying hybrid. "Move Klaus."
"You shouldn't be here, it isn't safe." He told me in exasperation.
My eyes narrowed, and I checked my watch, just over eight minutes left. "You need to get out of my way or so help me god I will go through you," I said, walking down the hall and towards him.
Klaus met me halfway and grabbed my arms. "You can't do anything to me, Love."
"That's where you're wrong Klaus, I may love you because you compelled me to, but you forget that no amount of love would make me allow you to kill my sister. I spent a week in captivity with you fighting tooth and nail to ensure that she lived. You found out anyways so now I will make sure Stefan can't kill her." I told him angrily.
His eyes narrowed in the cute way that they sometimes do. "How?"
"I have my toys," I said with a smile and pulled one of the bombs pins, running away before Klaus could figure it out.
The bomb wouldn't kill him, but I had high hopes that it would slow him down while I ran. Once I was out of sight, I made sure I stayed quiet so Rebekah wouldn't come after me. I didn't want to hurt her, she was my friend, despite everything.
Just over six minutes left, shit.
I started to run for the gym when I ran right into Klaus' chest.
Well, guess he feels better. "Oh hey, funny the people you run into in your old high school, right?" I said with a fake smile.
Klaus smiled and grabbed both my arms, pinning them behind my back. "You, my dear, are troublesome."
I chuckle as he pulls the grenades from the clip on corset thing that was under my shirt. His hands brushed my bare skin, I had to keep the shiver down. "Yeah well, I've been told its charming."
"It would be charming if you just stopped fighting me." He whispered in my ear, dropping the grenades and turning me around.
I smirked at him and brought my knee up, connecting with his family jewels. As he bent over, I rammed the heel of my hand in his nose, sending it to his brain and killing him. Well, temporarily. "Four minutes twenty seconds, shit."
I started for the gym again, this time with hopefully more luck.
I burst into the gym with just over a minute left. "Stefan, you have to do anything you can to not attack Elena," I told him when I came in. Both of them looked over at me in shocked relief. I walked right past my sister though, and straight to Stefan, whispering in his ear a plan.
There was a pause as he stared at me in despair. "Do you really think that would work?"
I nodded my head. "You're a ripper, it will give you pause, at the very least."
I walked over to my sister and looked her dead in the eye. "When that buzzer goes off, you run, and you don't look back, no matter what."
Twenty seconds.
"What about you?" She asked tears were streaming down her face.
Unlike my sister, I was a great liar. I smiled and nodded at her, looking her dead in the eyes. "I'll be okay, I swear." The buzzer sounded, and Elena ran as Stefan launched himself at the wall.
I took a stake I had up my sleeve and drove it straight through my stomach. A sound of pain escaped my lips, and I made eye contact with Stefan. Just like I thought, he appeared right in front of me, hunger temporarily overtaking his compulsion.
His eyes held a lot of guilt as he brushed the hair from my neck. "It's okay Stefan, drink."
So, he did.
