"What's happening to me?" Jules asked, panting.

"I cast a spell to slow down you're transformation. Your insides are trying to tear themselves free." Greta told her, walking away. She turned back and used her magic to make a fire around Jules, preventing her from running away.

"Greta, witches are supposed to maintain the balance in nature," Elena said, doing what she did best and trying to guilt-trip Greta. She was already in a circle of fire. Jenna was there too, trapped as well. She was the vampire Klaus and Estella were sacrificing.

"It's your duty to keep this curse sealed." Elena continued.

"My duty is to Klaus and Estella. The new order." Greta told her, voice raised.

"Glad to know I still have a dance partner." Klaus and Estella walked towards them.

"You know I'm right here, right? Oooh, am I invisible?" Estella joked, raising her hands and waving them around in front of Klaus' face. Klaus rolled his eyes and ignored Estella's commentary, making Estella pout.

"Hello, my lovelies. Are we ready?" He looked at the three women in front of him, smirking. 

Jules groaned, feeling like she was dying. The spell was working, but it hurt like a bitch. Estella watched her groan, slightly groaning herself. She wanted some quiet time, and Jules would never shut up.

"Would you at least try to shut up? I'm trying to have a relaxing second before I become a hybrid." Estella groaned as she scrolled through Instagram, once again bored out of her mind.

"I've got the moonstone. I spent five hundred years looking for this." Klaus looked at the moonstone as if it was his lifeline.

"I'm still right here. Y'know, the person who helped you find the moonstone for 500 years." Estella again waved her hands, this time around her.

"I hate to part with it." Klaus ignored Estella again, making a sigh erupt from her mouth. Klaus slightly smiled, then gave Greta the moonstone.

"The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?" She looked between the two siblings.

"I remember," Klaus replied. Greta looked to Estella, who was rolling her eyes at the witch.

"Yeah, yes. Kill, kill, kill, then kill myself." She said, annoyed. Greta threw the moonstone into a bowl, then started chanting. Jules groaned from inside her circle. The pain was getting stronger and stronger, and she wanted it to stop. Klaus and Estella walked away from Greta and went towards Jules.

"Everything I did," Jules said through the pain. "I was just trying to help Tyler." She told the two.

"Are you Jules?" Elena asked.

"I didn't want him to be alone!" She continued, ignoring Elena. She wanted to live. She also wanted to transform and get rid of the pain.

"Shall we?" Klaus asked Estella. Estella nodded her head. Greta removed the fire trapping Jules and Klaus and Estella walked towards her. As the fire went away, Jules sped towards Klaus, trying to kill him. Estella grabbed her by her throat and pushed her to the floor. Klaus came up behind her. They both pushed their hands into her chest, taking her heart out. Jules gasped lightly before her head fell back. She was dead. Jenna looked in horror at what happened, knowing it would happen to her too. Klaus and Estella walked towards the bowl the moonstone was in, squeezing Jules' heart into it.
