IMMORTAL SHE ── tvd&pjo

ii. the hard truth

For perhaps the first time in its history, Olympus existed in complete silence. The gods and demigods attempted to process the unexpected reveal of the Sun and the Moon Curse being fake, but the task was proving easier said than done.

Poor Annabeth was a mess; the daughter of Athena clutched at the roots of her hair, mumbling a string of Greek curses to herself as her boyfriend tried ( and failed ) to coax her hands back into her lap before she gave herself a bald spot. Her failure to identify Klaus and Elijah's genius trickery had dealt a heavy blow to her ego.

Her mother was faring no better, being patted on the back by a reluctant Hermes, who looked as though he was wishing to be anywhere but there. He sent a scathing glare towards the back row, where Ares and Apollo were lounging and snickering at his misfortune.

"I hate you," he mouthed, eliciting another round of childish giggles from his half-brothers.

GILBERT RESIDENCE

[Alaric/Klaus, Jenna and Stefan are sitting at the table having dinner.]

Klaus/Alaric: Oh, I know this all sounds so crazy, but...vampires are real. Would you care for some more wine?

Dionysus perked up at the mention of his long-denied vice. "I would," he chirped before wilting under his father's warning look.

[She gets up to get a bottle of wine for Jenna.]

Jenna: Get out.

Klaus/Alaric: Excuse me?

Jenna: I don't know what it is you're trying to do or why you're saying these things, but...

Klaus/Alaric: Jenna...

Jenna: I said get out!

[Stefan gets up.]

Stefan: You heard her.

Klaus/Alaric: I'm afraid I don't want to.

Jenna: Fine! I'll go.

[Klaus/Alaric picks up a kitchen knife off the counter.]

Klaus/Alaric: You're not going anywhere.

[Stefan grabs her and pushes her against the wall with his super speed and puts the knife on her throat. Klaus/Alaric laughs.]

Jenna: Stefan!

Stefan: Jenna, get out of here now!

Klaus/Alaric: You can't kill me, Stefan.

Stefan: Watch me!

Jenna: Stefan!

Klaus/Alaric: I may not have a witch protecting me today, but if you kill this body, what's to stop me from choosing Jenna as my next one?

Stefan: Jenna, go.

Jenna: But you're...you...

[He looks at her. His face has changed.]

The demigods gaped as they caught their first glimpse at a vampire's true face. They had faced off against a variety of monsters, but never anything so human-like. It was terrifying to find out that these monsters had been lurking over their shoulders the whole time.

Stefan: (Shouting.) I said go!

[She runs out of the house.]

Klaus/Alaric: Kill me. Just remind Elena how easy it will be for me to get my revenge if she tries to stop me from breaking this curse.
