TVD - The Originals

The Reckoning - 2

"He killed him." Matt says in horror as he and I sit by Tylers dead body.

I shook my head at Matt, raking a hand through my hair with stress "He died with vampire blood in his system. So he'll come back, just as a vampire"

"And if Bonnie's successful, he'll live through his transition," Klaus added. "Go on, then. Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what-not. I'll hold on to Ariel and Elena...for safe-keeping"

Klaus grabs Elena's arm who nodded at Bonnie who took Matt by the arm and rushed out.

"So this is the latest doppelgänger. The original one was much prettier" Rebekah says after inspecting Elena.

"Enough, Rebekah. Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?"

"What no!" I exclaimed as Rebekah grabbed Tyler by the arm and started dragging him away.

"You can't let her take him. She could kill him!" I exclaimed to Klaus.

"Relax"

Klaus leans into Elenas ear and whispers "Just ignore her. Petty little thing."

~~~~~~~~~

Elena and I sit with Dana and Chad, trying to comfort them when Stefan entered the gym.
"Stefan..." Elena breathes out when she sees him.

Stefan doesn't even pay attention, he just looks at Klaus  "Klaus."

"Come to save your damsels, mate?"

"I came to ask for your forgiveness. And pledge my loyalty."

"Well, you broke that pledge once already."

"They mean nothing to me anymore"

He just said they. So does that...so not the time to be thinking about that.

"And whatever you ask of me...I will do."

"Fair enough. Let's drink on it" Klaus gets down from the bleachers and points to Dana and Chad. "Kill them. What are you waiting for? Kill them"

Elena shook her head "No! Stefan, don't. He's not going to hurt me. He already said..."

Klaus cuts her off by hitting her so hard that she falls on the floor. "Elena!" I rushed to her side as Stefan lunged on Klaus who grabbed him by the throat  "They mean nothing to you? Your lies just keep piling up."

"Let her go! I'll do whatever you want, you have my word!" Stefan yells.

"Your word doesn't mean much. I lived by your word all summer, during which time I never had to resort to this...Stop fighting."

My eyes widened as I realized what he was doing. He was compelling him.
"Don't do this, don't do this."

"I didn't want to. All I wanted was your allegiance. Now I'm going to have to take it."

"Don't...Don't..." Stefan begs as Klaus continues to compel hom.

"You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey."

I shook my head rapidly "No! Klaus don't make him do this!" I yelled at him.

Klaus grins and motions to Dana and Chad "Now ripper. Kill them" Stefan vamps out, rushes over to Dana and kills her by drinking her blood.

I clamped a hand over my mouth in shock and looked away from Danas dead body.
Oh my god.

"It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element" Klaus tells Elena and I as we watch with horror as Stefan feeds from Chad. "The species has become such a broody lot."

"No. You did this to him." I say with a shake of my head.

"I invited him to the party, love. He's the one dancing on the table."

The gym doors burst open and Rebekah marches inside, clearly angry "Where is it?! Where's my necklace?" she demands as she walks to us.

"What are you talking about?" Klaus asks.

"She has my necklace. Look."

She gives him what I think is Caroline's phone and shows him something.

"Well, well. More lies." Klaus says looking back up at us.

"Where...is it?" Rebekah demands through gritted teeth.

"I don't have it anymore." Elena replies.

"You're lying!"

She vamps out and bites Elena's neck, I gasped and tried pulling her away before Klaus grabbed his sister and pulled her off.

"Knock it off!"

"Make her tell me where it is, Nik!" Rebekah demands as I ripped the bottom hem of my shirt and wrapped it around Elena's neck like a scarf to stop the bleeding.

Klaus crouches down, hands clasped in front of him as I put pressure on the wound. "Where's the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest"

"I'm telling the truth. Katherine stole it."

Klaus sighed, cupping his hands under his chin. "Katerina. Of course" he mutters before standing.

"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?"
He goes to the gym's clock board and turns it on, setting it at 20 minutes.

"Twenty minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again" Klaus explained as he walked to Stefan "Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena. You know you want to."

"Klaus he can't do that! Don't make him do this!" I beg of him as he and his sister start to leave "No one leaves. If they try to run, fracture their spines."
