"Tonight is the full moon. We should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse," Elijah announced, everyone gathered in the Salvatore house.

"Elena said that the Sun and the Moon curse is fake? That it's actually just a curse placed on Klaus," Stefan clarified.

"Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf aspect from manifesting. But if he breaks it, he'll be a true hybrid," Elijah confirmed.

"Then why are we letting him break the curse? We can kill him today. With Bonnie," Damon tried to talk everyone out of the sacrifice.

Aeliana rolled her eyes at the raven haired vampire's stubbornness, "Damon, stop your shit."

Elena glared at the Salvatore, "Bonnie can't use that much power without dying."

"I'll write her a great eulogy."

"It's not an option, Damon."

"All right, how do we break this curse?" Stefan asked, turning his attention to Elijah.

"Well, the ritual itself is relatively straightforward. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know," Elijah began to explain.

"The moonstone," Aeliana chimed in.

"A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each."

"And where do I fit into it?" Elena asked.

"The final part of the ritual," he started as he took a wooden box from the shelf, "Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelgänger to the point of your death." He opened the box and grabbed the jar thay was inside it.

"And that's where you come in."

He nodded. "This is an elixir that Aeliana acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation."

"So I'll be dead?"

"And then you won't," he finished.

"That's your plan? A magical witch potion with no expiration date?" He said incredulously, looking over to Elena. "You want to come back to life, what about John's ring?"

"I thought the rings only worked on humans?" Aeliana questioned.

"Correct. The doppelgänger's a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the ring won't work."

"I'll take those odds over wifey Original's elixir. What if it doesn't work, Elena?" Damon continued to argue.

"Then I guess I'll just be dead," Elena shot back

Damon looked at Stefan, who just shrugged. He averted his gaze to Elijah and Aeliana, who both didn't say anything. He scoffed and then walked out.

"Do we know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this? Does he have a werewolf?"

"Klaus has been waiting to break this curse for over a thousand years. If he doesn't already have a werewolf, my guess is by tonight, he will," Elijah assured.
