chapter twenty.

Karina squealed when she spotted Tyler, he chuckled and caught her running figure before spinning her around. He set her back down and kept her within arm's length as he looked her over.

"I've missed you." He told her and Karina gave him a soft smile. "You have no idea how much I've missed you."

Karina hugged him again with a sigh, "Me too Ty. I've missed you so much." Karina then spotted Mason behind him with Javier, and she hugged him as well. "It's good to see you again."

"You too little witch." Mason chuckled while hugging her tightly. "Tyler tells me that you already knew Javi."

Karina stiffened, something he noticed but didn't call her out on. "I do but that's a long story and with the full moon approaching, we don't have the time to talk about it all."

"What would a witch know about the effects of the full moon?" She heard a voice ask and she looked over Mason's shoulder to see Jules and her boyfriend.

"A lot more than you." Karina snapped while crossing her arms over her chest. "Why are they here?"

"Mason said you made rings." Brady told her and Karina rolled her eyes. "We want one."

Karina laughed and shook her head, "Fat chance of that happening."

"We're a part of the same pack, we deserve to not have to shift either." Jules told her with a glare. "We want a ring."

"And I'd sooner kill you before I ever gave any of you a ring." Karina told her and her eyes flashed. "Don't think that just because Mason cares about you that I won't kill you the first chance I get because you piss me off."

"Karina." Javier finally arrived and placed a hand on her shoulder. "They're not worth it."

Karina closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I have the rings, I'll bring them to you at the cellar." Mason and Tyler nodded, the two left but not before practically dragging Jules and her boyfriend along with them.

"I tried to keep them from coming but I really couldn't." Javier told her and Karina sighed. "They were persistent when they learned why Mason and Tyler were coming back."

"They really shouldn't have come with." Karina groaned, "Klaus is here and the last thing I want is him trying to use Tyler or Mason as his werewolf."

Javier frowned, "Klaus is here?"

"You know Klaus?" Karina shot back at the surprise in his tone.

"Long story for another day." Javier told her before dragging her outside, only for them to find Tyler and Mason on the ground unconscious.

"Fucking great, they took Jules and Brady." Karina muttered while running her hand down her face.

This was not how her day was supposed to go.

Karina was preparing for the ritual while Javier was with Mason and Tyler in the Lockwood Cellar. She had given him the new rings, but in case they didn't work then at least they would be locked up safely.

"Wait Damon did what?" Karina asked shocked as she looked at Bonnie.

"Apparently, Klaus took Caroline and some wolf." Bonnie explained. "The wolf got away though, so I don't know."

"But Caroline is okay?" Karina asked her. "Why wasn't she wearing the jewelry I gave her?"

"She was Rina." Bonnie told her and Karina's heart sunk. "It's the full moon, remember, you always recast the spell every month." Karina groaned and Bonnie put her hand on her shoulder, "Hey, it's going to be okay."

"We need to start going." Jonas spoke up, interrupting their conversation. "It's almost time."

Karina and Bonnie nodded, they followed Jonas upstairs where Luka was waiting with Elijah. Luka smiled at them along with Elijah before they headed out towards where they felt the magical pull signifying Klaus was breaking the curse.

"What about that spell you found?" Karina asked Bonnie as she remembered it. "Were you able to do it?"

Bonnie nodded her head, "I cast the spell already using John."

"John agreed?" Karina asked shocked. "Wow, father of the year."

Bonnie laughed and nudged the girl before they went after Elijah and the Martin's.

They walked to the Quarry together and they could feel the magic, it was practically all over as they got closer. Karina felt her heart sink when Klaus dropped Elena's body to the ground and they could see that he had done it, he had broken the curse.

Together, the four of them began chanting and immediately the wind began to pick up and the rings of fire reacted to their magic.

Klaus cried out in pain before he looked at them in anger while on the ground. "No, you were dead!"

Another wave of magic hit Klaus and he screamed out in pain, Luka spotted Greta about to help him and immediately shot a wave of magic at her, causing her to crumble to the ground unconscious just as Damon and Stefan arrived.

The two grab Elena before Damon takes her to the abandoned witches house where Jeremy should be waiting with John by now.

The four continue their attack on Klaus, the man was screaming in agony at the attack that was being held against him. The four felt their magic heeding their commands, it listened to their will of wanting to cause him nothing but immense pain and agony.

Karina's eyes were beginning to glow but before she could lose herself, they stopped chanting as Elijah walked over to Klaus' figure on the ground.

"Elijah?" Klaus said breathlessly as he looked up at the man.

"Hello, brother." Elijah greeted before striking Klaus and pushing his hand into his chest, gripping his heart. "In the name of our family, Niklaus..."

"I didn't bury them at sea." Klaus said as Elijah was ready to rip out his heart causing him to freeze.

"What?" Elijah asked him while twisting his hand that was in his chest.

"Their bodies are safe." Klaus rushed out with a pained breath. "If you kill me, you'll never find them."

"Elijah!" Stefan called out to him, "Don't listen to him."

"Elijah," Klaus called out to him softly, his voice barely above a whisper. "I can take you to them. I give you my word... Brother."

"Do it or I'll take you both out." Bonnie added while remaining ready.

Jonas and Luka shared a look of hesitation, they were on Elijah's side and would remain on his side. To go against him wasn't a part of their agreement.

"You'll die." Elijah told her sharply.

"Not if I give her my strength." Karina told him and he didn't miss how her eyes were glowing. "Don't Elijah."

Elijah gave them an apologetic look before looking down at Klaus who knew that Elijah was going to spare him.

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

"No!" Stefan shouted along with Bonnie and Karina who rushed forward but Elijah jumped over the fire and gone.

Karina spun around to see Jonas and Luka were also gone along with Greta's body, meaning they had gotten what they wanted truly. She wasn't going to hold it against them, she wouldn't as from the beginning all they wanted was Greta back.

"Can we go home now?"
