The Sacrifice

Klaus - 3

"Well, who does, right? But believe it or not, they do have a place in our history. And as a history teacher" He says looking at us, that comment just makes me glare at him even more.

"I find them fascinating." He says while he looks at Stefan. 

Jenna scoffs. "Why are we talking about this?" 

"Well, you've been angry with me for keeping secrets, and this is one of my secrets. I'm obsessed with vampires. There. I said it."

Obsessed, ha. More like is one, sort of, kind of, God vampires are complicated. 

Jenna scoffs at him. "Are you joking?" 

Alari-Klaus shakes his head. "Not at all. How about you, Stefan? Are you a fan of vampires?" 

Stefan walks to him all menacingly "In literature. Bram Stoker. It's dense, but I appreciate it." 

Alari-Klaus hums, "Hmm. Did you know that vampires are the oldest creatures of the night? Except for werewolves, of course." 

Jenna chuckles in disbelief "Werewolves. Werewolves. Now I know you're joking." She says as she walks to the table. 

"You know, I've read that there's an Aztec curse on both species that keeps werewolves slaves to the Moon and vampires bound by the Sun.

Isn't that right, kids? You know, they say these creatures would do anything to have this curse broken and that they wouldn't care who they had to kill to do it." 

Jenna looks at him alarmed and suddenly I wish I could kill him. 

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

Alari-Klaus, Jenna, me and Stefan are sitting at the table having dinner, if eating in silence is considered dinner. 

"Oh, I know this all sounds so crazy, but...vampires are real. Would you care for some more wine?" Alari-Klaus asks her.

Okay this is just way too creepy, he's using the body of my freaking history teacher/Trainor, why do vampires have to be so sheesh all the time. 

He starts to get up and go grab a bottle of wine for Jenna but she's had enough of his behavior and snaps. 

"Get out." Jenna says sternly. 

Alvaro-Klaus frowns. "Excuse me?" He questions. 

Jenna looks up at him. "I don't know what it is you're trying to do or why you're saying these things, but..." 

"Jenna..." 

"I said get out!" She yells. 
Stefan and I practically shoot out from our seats. 

"You heard her." I bark out. 

Alari-Klaus looks between me and Stefan. "I'm afraid I don't want to" 

"Fine! I'll go." Jenna exclaims as she stands. 

Alari-Klaus picks up a kitchen knife off the counter and points it in her direction, I move almost immediately to stand in front of her. 

"You're not going anywhere." Klaus threatens. 

Stefan grabs him and pushes him against the wall with his super speed and puts the knife on his throat.

"Stefan!" Jenna breaths out. 

"Ariel, get out of here now!" Stefan yells. 

"You can't kill me, Stefan." Alari-Klaus said, which unfortunately was the truth. 

"Watch me!" Stefan yells as I reach and grab for Jenna. "We need to go, now" I try to pull her but she breaks from my grasp and runs to Stefan. 

"Stefan!" 

"I may not have a witch protecting me today, but if you kill this body, what's to stop me from choosing Jenna as my next one?" Alari-Klaus says, making Jenna confused. 

"Or Ariel?" 

"Ariel get Jenna out of here, go." Stefan yells and I grab Jenna's arm. 

"But you're...you..." Jenna starts and trails off when Stefan turns to her with his vamp face. 

"I said go!" He yells and Jenna doesn't think twice. She starts for the door and I do a double back,

"Please don't hurt him Stef" 

I run after Jenna, and get to her by the car, "Come on get in" I get in the driver's seat and start driving to the boarding house.

"What was that?" Jenna asks me, she was shaking with fear.  I sigh as I make a speedy turn on a corner.

"We will explain everything Jenna, alright? I promise. But first we have to get somewhere safe"

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

"Did you call her?" I ask Stefan as I walk into the kitchen and prepare Jenna more tea. Stefan nods.

"Yeah, she's uh, she's on her way" I nod as I pour Jenna's tea.

When Jenna and I got here, I led her to the parlor, and told her everything. Well, almost everything. She couldn't bear to hear it.

"Well, while we wait. I'm gonna go bring her this" I say, motioning to the tea. 

I walk back into the parlor and set the cup down at the table. "Why didn't no one tell me?" She asks me with tears in her eyes.

I sigh and sit down next to her.

"It wasn't my call. Elena didn't want to tell you, she wanted to protect you" I explained. She didn't say anything at that, looking straight ahead. 

"I found out before Elena." I say to her, trying to get something out of Jenna, which works because she turns her gaze to me with surprise. 

"Really?" She questions. I nod and sigh, leaning into the couch.

"We tried keeping it from her but she found out eventually. She was angry at me for that, for not telling her"

Jenna looks at me with a skeptical look.

"She got over it eventually, I'm sure you will too" I say. Jenna heaves out a shaky breath.

"How'd you find out?" I glance up at her, with a small smile. "A long story for another time" I say, Jenna leans into me with tears and I wrap an arm around her in support.

When the door opens and Elena enters I pull away from Jenna and stand up, putting my hands in my pockets.

"I'll leave you two alone"
