THIRD'S THE CHARM | The Vampire Diaries x Male OC

THE SACRIFICE (S2:E10)

After dropping Bonnie off at her dad's the next morning, Damon, Stefan and I walk down into the tomb and look at each other.

Damon: Let's do it. Sammy.

I nod and pull the stone door off the entrance of the tomb. I place it to the side and we approach the entrance.

Stefan and Damon lean against the frame of the entrance, while I stand in the middle of them. When Katherine comes around the corner, she looks very hungry and wobbly on her feet. Karma's a bitch.

Katherine: Please...come on in. There's plenty of room for all of us.

Damon: I'd rather poke my eyes out.

Katherine: Mmm, they're such pretty eyes.

I shake my head.

Sam : You know, flatterely doesn't work so effectively when the person handing it out looks about half mummified.

Katherine : So charming, Mr. Big Bad Fake Original.

Cutting the crap, Stef gets to the point.

Stefan: We're here for the moonstone.

Damon: Feel like tossing it over?

Katherine: Tell you what, you get your little witch to hocus pocus me out of here, you can have whatever you want.

Stefan: I thought you liked it in here. Nice and safe where Klaus can't get to you.

She looks at me with a scowl.

Katherine: I've had time to reconsider.

Damon: Meaning you're hungry.

Katherine: I'm starving, Damon. And dirty. And bored. But above all, I had a little conversation recently. You're right, Sam. In here, I'm just waiting for Klaus to find and kill me.

Katherine has progressively gotten closer to the entrance, stumbling and grasping at the wall as she does so.

Katherine : At least running from Klaus, or Sam for what it's worth, wasn't boring... so here's the deal: you get me out of here, you get the moonstone and I'll disappear from Mystic Falls forever.

We all look at each other, kinda unsure about what to do.

Katherine: Let me know what you decide.

As she says this, she holds up the moonstone and stumbles back into recesses of the cave.

Once again, I'm on the phone with Vernon, who doesn't do anything to lessen my worries at the moment.

Vernon : Klaus is constantly on the move. Whatever is going on, it's going to happen soon.

Sam : Yeah, I figured as much. My brothers already started plotting against him. If he comes here... things will turn very ugly.

Vernon : Will he think that you are plotting against him with them?

Sam : I don't know, Vernon. At this point, anything might or might not happen.

Vernon : Mystic Falls, huh? Sounds like one hell of a place to live.

Sam : You don't even know half of it, my friend.

He chuckles over the phone, much to my amusement. Even in the darkest of days, this man will still be in a good enough mood to joke around like everything's alright.

Vernon : But can't you do anything to stop Klaus from coming to Mystic Falls? I mean... he's your BFF, ain't he? There's gotta be some type of way to put an end to this whole shitshow before it even really begins.
