Stronger than the rest

Chapter 41

I sit on the couch, Katherine sat next to me as klaus and stefan talk near the kitchen area.

"I heard your Klaus's bitch now." Katherine states and I glance at her before fiddling with the engagement ring on my ring finger. "is that... The engagement ring Damon had on his necklace?" Katherine asks as she points to it. I sigh as I twist around my finger.

"Yep. he gave it to me. Thought I should wear it." I state and before she can say anything else, klaus calls me over.

"Love, come and sit down with us." I quickly stand and make my way over. "sit." I sit down on a chair and watch the two. "Now, I want you to watch your darling little stefan turn back into the ripper he was." Niklaus whispers in my ear as he throws stefan a blood bag. "I want you to join me for a drink." I reach out an grab a bag of my own an open it. Stefan sips his bold bag and Niklaus looks at him, his face emotionless which scared me.

"Finish it. all of it. you do everything I say, and I save your brother. that's the deal." Niklaus states and stefan finishes the blood bag. "Again." he throws him another and stefan drinks. niklaus keeps throwing blood bags at stefan, making him drink them.

"Klaus, I think that's enough." I state as I look at stefan.

"Not yet, love." klaus replies as he sits down next to me. "let him keep going."

****

Blood bags surround stefan on the floor and Niklaus smirks as stefan finished the one he is on.

"You're very cooperative. it's almost as if your enjoying it." Niklaus states and he passes Stefie another blood bag.

"No more. not until you give me the cure." Stefan says and Niklaus shakes his head. I stand up, and step in front of klaus, placing my hand on his arm.

"Please Niklaus, just give him the cure for Damon." I look into his eyes and he frowns. "please." his eyes dart to my hand and he chuckles.

"What is that on your hand?" He grabs my left hand and pulls the ring of it. "you will not be needing that." he rips the ring from my finger and I look down. "he doesn't stop until me and him have our deal." He pushes me to sit down and then turns to stefan. "it's your choice stefan. you can either remain here living your life in mystic falls, or you can embrace who you truly are, leave town with me and angel, and save your brother's life." stefan takes the blood bag and quickly drinks it. tears fill my eyes. "that's the spirit. now, angel, pass me that vial." I pass him a vial of blood and he smirks. "now... sweatheart." Katherine stands and walks over to him. "take this over to Damon and come right back." he compels her and I shake my head, grabbing the vial.

"I'll go. I'll come right back I promise! Anyway, it's not that I'll be able to stay away from you! Please!" I plead at klaus and he smirks.

"You both go. that way, you'll be able to say good by to your little boyfriend." Niklaus stands in front of me, his face close to mine. "but you come back." He grabs my hand and takes the vial of blood from my grasp. "and she has the vial. I will meet you at warehouse 8 near here." I nod my head and Katherine holds the vial.

"Yes niklaus." we vamp speed out and to the boarding house.

***

I follow Katherine up the stairs, my head down and she smirks.

"You sure you want to see him? Because I'm sure he will be a lot happier with Elena or maybe Andy since she's dead." she smirks at me and I just ignore her. "well it's me who you should be thanking." we enter Damon's room and I stay near the door.

"I mean us. since we have got the cure." Katherine tells Elena and Damon and I look up. tears come to my eyes as I see damon..... swear on his face and his eyes blood shot. he looks awful. Wait.... Elena? I look at the girl as she gets out of the bed.

"I thought you were dead." I state and she shakes her head.

"I was." She replies and my eyes snap to damon.

"Angel.... please say I'm not hallucinating." Damon says as he sits up. I sigh, looking down before at him again. "you got free?"

"I did, she didn't." Katherine states and they look at me.

"I'm sired to klaus, Damon. the time I am hear, all I can think about is going back to klaus." I reply, knowing half of it is true. I am thinking of klaus, but no the whole time.

"What?" Damon tries to stand but falls back on to the bed.

"Just drink what's in the vial and forget about me." Katherine vamp speeds and forces him to drink it and then he pushes her away.

"I won't just forget about you!" Damon shouts as he stands again, this time without falling.

"You should because I'm going to forget about you." I reply and I can tell he is hurt by this. "and the reason of that is because I don't love you any more Damon." he shakes his head before making his way over to me.

"You don't mean that." he says and I make the mistake of looking into his baby blue eyes. all I want to do is kiss him and tell him that i love him with all my heart but I can't be with him because I don't think I'll see him again.

"I mean it Damon. If I love anyone, or am meant to love anyone, it would be klaus." I say and a tear slips down his face.

"Your only saying this because of the sire bond." he states and I pull away shaking my head. I have to look everywhere else then him as I feel tears sting my eyes.

"I never loved you. I portended to be able to get the moonstone and doppelgänger. and I won't tell klaus of her existence." I bite my lip, trying to keep up with the lie.

"Angel please." Damon pleads but I shake my head. "look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me." I look up and I feel the tears in my eyes build as I look at his.

"I don't love you." I whisper before looking away. "Goodbye damon." I vamp speed out of there.

***

I reach the warehouse and walk in. Klaus smirks at me and I look to see a girl dead on the floor.

"Did you make it in time?" Niklaus asks and I nod.

"Damon is alive. he is fine and I have Broken all ties with him." I say as I walk towards them. "still with the coffins?" I laugh a bit as I look down.

"Well, how am I meant to contain my family?" I hear footsteps before he puts his diners under my chin and forcing me to look at him. "I know that the older a vampire gets, the harder it is to turn the emotions of because they keep sneaking up. but stop sulking. it doesn't look good on you." he smirks at me before turning around. "and don't go through the coffins looking for him. it won't be pretty."

"Why would I look for him? I was the one who originally put him there." I reply and stefan frowns.

"Who are you talking about?" Stefan asks.

"Someone who you won't know." I reply.

"Let's go." klaus commands.
