The Sacrifice

Klaus - 2

I walked in the parlor with a duffel bag over my shoulder, Damon was still pretty mad at us for not going to go find Elena but we didn't even know where she was so what could we do?

Stefan and I were going to go out into the woods so he could hunt and I could train, and he was supposed to help me train because that's a 2 person job and my trainor is otherwise um, occupied.
 
"Hey ready to go?" Stefan asked as he got up from the couch, I nodded "Yeah lets get-" I was cut off by my phone ringing and I cursed silently.

"Give me a second" I muttered, digging into the bag to find it. 

I managed to dig it out and when I saw Jenna's name I let out a breath. 

"Jenna, hey." I exclaimed as innocently as possible when I answered.

 "Hey Ariel. Do you know Where's Elena? And Jeremy? No one's answering their phones." Jenna asks me. 

I run a hand through my hair. "Ah, Elena's not here at the moment. Is, uh, is everything okay?" I ask as Damon takes a drink of bourbon. 

"Okay, then want to explain why the two of you left me weird messages to stay away from Rick? I'm your guardian Ariel. What's going on?" 

I sigh. "I know but, It's really hard to explain over the phone, but, um, we were hoping that you could stay on campus for a little while longer." 

"Oh, that's kinda hard to do from my kitchen." My eyes widen at this. 

"Wait, you're back home?" 

"Yeah. What's going on? Where's Elena, and where's Jeremy? I'm supposed to meet Ric at the Grill for lunch, to talk."

 "Jenna, listen to me carefully. Whatever you do, do not meet Alaric at the Grill. I'm going to come over right now and I'll explain everything."

I hang up and look at Stefan, "We have to go" I say and then Stefan looks at Damon, who's pouring himself a drink. 

"Wow, I'd love to lend you a hand, but you wouldn't want me doing anything stupid." He says. 

I raise an eyebrow, not amused. "It's seriously going to be like this?" Stefan questioned. 

Damon just looks between the two of us, pointing a finger. 

"She's your sister and your girlfriend are calling the shots. I'm just backing off, Stefan." I scoff and then Stefan and I run out. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hurry" Stefan exclaimed from behind me as I stuck my key into the door lock.

After Jenna became my guardian, I got my own key to the house, which is better than waiting for someone to let me in. 

"Hey! Don't hurry me, I'm not a vampire, remember!" I got the door open and pushed it open, letting ourselves in.

Jenna appeared from the living room and I breathed a sigh of relief as Stefan closed the door. 

"Hey, Jenna. Thank you so much for not going to the Grill." I exclaim as I walk in. 

"Um, Stefan, Ariel..." Jenna starts. 
I turn to her. "No, listen. We can explain." 

She looks over Stefan's shoulder. I frown and we both turn around.

Klaus/Alaric's  appears from the kitchen, with a grin on his face. 

"Hi, Stefan, Ariel. How's it going?" 

...............

Alari-Klaus is chopping some food with a huge ass knife as Jenna, me and Stefan are looking at him. 

"You know, I find chopping...calming. The feel of the blade in the hand, maybe." 

Jenna looks between all of us, mostly Stefan and me considering the death glare we're giving him.

"I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what the hell's going on." 

Alari-Klaus grins at us. "Well, would one of you like to tell her, or should I?" He asks. 

Jenna frowns. "Tell me what?" 

Alari-Klaus looks over at her "Do you believe in vampires, Jenna? No?" He adds noticing the look on her face, and laughs.
