Klaus POV

I smirked as I walked out of the box my body was left in while I possessed the town's vampire hunter. "Now that's more like it"

I looked down at Gretta – a Martin witch. And Maddox – my main witch stood to either side of the box.

I chuckled when I looked over at Katerina who stood as far away as she could, gulping in fear. It's nice to know she still fears me.

I turned my head towards the unconscious human who was laid on the floor, chuckling to myself and shaking my head, I turned my head to the other side towards Stiles.

I walked over to him and bent down so I was level to where he was laid on the couch. I moved the hair that had fallen on his face and ran my finger over his cheek. "They won't let him go easily. They seem to be all happy now" Katerina spoke up.

I rolled my eyes before turning my head towards her. "You really think that Stiles would ever truly forgive his brothers? he can hold a grudge for a very long time, Katerina. As I'm sure you're aware of" I chuckled, standing back up.

I picked Stiles up, carrying him to the bedroom before I walked back out and over to Katerina. Compelling her to go to sleep. There was only so much Katerina Petrova I could take in one day.

"How long will he be out for Maddox?" I asked him, pouring myself a drink. "A couple of days. Give or take" He shrugged.

I sighed. I had no choice but to do this to him. I knew what he was capable of and I couldn't risk him ruining the chance of me breaking the curse.

"What's so special about him?" Gretta asked confused, and with a slight bit of jealousy.

I rolled my eyes. "It has nothing to do with you, Gretta" I warned her. She had to know by now that once I broke this curse, she'll cease to exist.

"Do you have it, Maddox?" I asked turning back to look at him, he pulled the moonstone out of his pocket, handing me it.

I smiled as I held it between my thumb and index finger. "Hmm" I hummed before I made my way into the bedroom, where Stiles was.

I leaned against the closed door, looking at Stiles. The one man who could destroy me with one sentence. The only man that sees me at my best and worse and sticks with me through it all.

Well until the worst night of my long life.

I walked over and sat next to him on the bed looking down at him. I smiled to myself.

I never thought I'd see the day Stiles was unconscious. he can be just as strong as us originals.

"They have no idea" I mumbled before I pressed my lips against his forehead and jumped into bed.

I laid there thinking. I've been waiting for this, for over a thousand years. And everything was in place.

Elena was exactly where I wanted her, she has the two Salvatore brothers protecting her, she wasn't going to turn herself into a vampire, and she isn't going to run. So, she was just simply waiting for me to take whenever I liked.

I have Stiles back. Exactly where he's supposed to be.

I looked over at him and smiled, but something caught my eye. The ring he was wearing. The ring I gave him.

Why was he wearing it? I sighed before I let my eyes close falling to sleep.

When I woke up the next morning I had Maddox place a spell on the bedroom so only myself could walk in freely before Gretta left with him to retrieve me the two werewolves that were in town – Tyler and Jules, and for the vampire I had them get me, Caroline.
