The Last Day

"We should assume Klaus and Estella are prepared to break the curse." Elijah began.

"Elena said the sun and moon curse is fake. That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus and Estella." Stefan told.

"Klaus and Estella are vampires born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept their werewolf aspect from manifesting." Elijah told them. "If they break it... they'll be true hybrids. I want to kill Klaus, but not Estella." He told them as well. Stefan got out of his seat, and Elena just sat with a shocked expression.

"Why? Why are we even letting them break the curse? We can kill them today. With Bonnie." Damon came in from behind Elijah.

"Damon-" "No. Bonnie can't use that much power without dying." Elena interrupted Stefan.

"I'll write her a great eulogy." Damon slightly joked although he was 100% serious.

"It's not an option, Damon," Elena said with a stern tone.

"All right. How do we break this curse?" Stefan asked. As Elijah continued to explain how to break the curse, Klaus was getting ready with everything. Estella sat, again bored out of her mind, drinking some whiskey they had in the cupboards. Estella decided to head for the grill instead of staying in the house.

As Estella entered the grill she saw Matt and Caroline talking. As Caroline kissed Matt and walked away, Matt's smile faded. He knew about vampires. Estella walked up to him without him noticing.

"You know you shouldn't play with someone's feelings like that." She said from behind him. He jumped and turned around quickly, only to see Stella. He calmed his breathing and frowned.

"What?" He questioned, pretending to be oblivious. Estella rolled her eyes and pointed to where Caroline had just left. Matt shook his head, pretending he didn't understand, and walked as fast as he could towards Sheriff Forbes. Estella decided to leave him be and drink.

Estella burst open the door to Alaric's apartment. She was furious. Klaus had used Caroline and Tyler as his vampire and werewolf. Even though she barely knew Caroline, she was still her first friend. She didn't care about Tyler though.

"Nik!" Estella called out. "Niklaus Mikaelson if you don't come out here I will rip your head off of your neck!" She screamed.

"Calm down Estella. I'm right here. What is the problem now?" Klaus said, bored.

"You can't use Caroline as the vampire sacrifice! She's my friend. My only friend at that!" Estella replied, getting angrier by the second. Klaus looked at her.

"I told you not to get attached to anyone." He said, sitting down.

"Are you serious!?" Estella fumed. "If you don't find another vampire I won't become a hybrid. You'll be alone. As your own species." Estella tried. She knew Klaus wanted someone by his side who was like him. Klaus looked at her again, but with an expression, Estella couldn't decipher. He looked... sad? Angry? Annoyed? She had no clue. After a few minutes, Klaus got up and left her alone in the room. She let out a little scream of annoyance before leaving the apartment once again to go to the grill.

As Estella entered the grill, so did Klaus. They still weren't talking to each other, but they both needed to go together. They saw Damon and Alaric and sneakily went behind them.
