Darkness Will Fall | Volume 1 : Sacrifice T.O}

Chapter 10: Desolation

Damon enters the crypt and helps me get up, I hold on to the wall while it heals but it takes time.
Damon takes Bonnie in his arms and puts Elena down. The day has dawned and she is finally awake. After warning Jace of Alaric's return, he came straight to see us.

Bonnie: Talia I'm so sorry..

Talia: You have nothing to do with it Bonnie.

Damon: Yet she was the one who fed him.

Bonnie: I wasn't aware, it was the wizards who guided me.

Jace: And where is the stake now?

Damon: The white oak one that can kill an original and wipe out its entire lineage? Oh we lost him.

Bonnie: If you're so mad at me why did you save me?

Damon: Because I'm stupid, Bonnie.

Jace: And how do you kill this super hunter?

Talia: There's always a way to kill him or undo the spell..

Jace: Then we'll find out.

Talia: It's not that simple Jace.. Good Bonnie
try to find it I will keep Elena informed...

I go up the stairs to Jenna's completely repainted room, I stand behind the door when I hear Elena on the phone with...
Alaric.

Alaric: I'm in high school and Caroline keeps me company very nicely, and if you want her to stay, you'll get in the car and join us. If you tell anyone where you are, I'll kill them.
Elena climbs through the window and rushes into her car, I follow her to the school and create a hiding spell so Ric doesn't sense me coming. I stop behind the classroom wall and listen to Caroline Gemire... I would like to go but if I do things wrong he will kill her.

Alaric: We don't trust Elena! I've told you them several times already but you never listen.
He pulls on the Venus vein rope and burns Caroline's mouth. I intervene and push him to the side, he gets up and starts laughing.

Alaric: Always there when you don't need to.

Talia: I'm just doing what I promised.

Alaric: Forget what I said, Caroline will die anyway.
Talia: Take me instead.

Alaric: And why is that? She's a vampire who kills, she has to die.

Talia: Vampires aren't the only ones who kill, take my place. I caused more harm than her...

Alaric: Caused you harm?

Elena: You've never hurt anyone

Talia..

Talia: During my first transformation, I-I can't control myself. I was in pain everywhere, my head was going to explode, I was running through the forest and ran into a family of campers..

Elena: Why didn't you tell me about it?

Talia: Because I thought I was a monster I was afraid but now I know how to control myself.

Alaric: She will die and then you will too and of course it will be Elena who will kill you.

Elena: What? No !

Alaric: You fought and trained, you could be a hunter Elena.

Talia: You won't kill anyone today!
Fire! Elena unties Caroline!
Elena gets up and snatches the two pencils from Caroline's hands. Ric tries to get through the flames but I push him away by punching him in the stomach. Caro runs out of the school followed by Elena who gets caught by Alaric, he throws her into the room and tries to grab my throat but my magic barrier stops him.
