From Ashes To Embers(Klaus Mikaelson)

Chapter 33

   Damon and I go back to the boarding house where he calls Stefan to let him know what's happening.

   "So wait, hold on, you're really planning to kill Klaus?" I ask him.

   "Uh-huh."

   "How?"

   "Bonnie. Elijah is helping."

   "Oh," I mutter. "So what are we gonna do?"

   He sighs, "We.. are not going to do anything. I've learned my lesson. There's no stopping Klaus."

   "But.. Elena will be a vampire. She doesn't want that. And Jenna will die."

   "At least Elena will still be alive."

   "You're a very selfish person, Damon," I say grabbing my jacket to head out.

   "Oh, and you aren't? Running off to save yourself and leaving us here to fight on our own?"

   "I'm not talking about this again," I say as I head out the door. Taking off in vampire speed, I make my way to the old witch house.

   I hear Stefan speaking as I near the old house. "We're gonna offer another vampire. One that he'll want more. Me." I almost gasp in shock.

   "He won't take you," I make myself known.

   "Angela, you're ok!" Bonnie exclaims. I'm surprised she's happy to see me, I was sure she was still angry with me about leaving. Elijah nods at me.

   "What do you mean he won't take me?" Stefan asks.

   "I know he won't," I tell him. "Which is why we need to stop the ritual."

   "What?" Stefan looks confused.

   "Angelina-" Elijah starts but I cut him off.

   "We kill his witch and the ritual can't happen. That means Jenna stays alive and Elena won't turn into a vampire. It will at least buy us another month to figure out a way to keep Elena alive."

   "But Klaus will still be alive" Bonnie points out.

   "You really care more about killing Klaus then keeping Jenna alive and stopping Elena from turning? Postponing the ritual will give us another month to prepare. We can kill Klaus then, it's a win-win."

   "Klaus won't take that so kindly. Angelina, you know how he gets. He'll likely go on a killing spree of Mystic Falls or even worse," Elijah argues with me. I sigh, nothing is ever straight-forward is it?

   "Us three can overpower him though," I gesture between Stefan, Elijah and I. "Just me and you even. One of us distracts him while the other kills the witch."

   "And then he'll likely march straight out to rip Stefan and Damon's hearts out. Probably all of our hearts out actually, everyone who was involved. More people will get killed if we try to interfere now." I sigh knowing he's right. "Does he know you've escaped?" Elijah asks me.

   "No."

   "Then perhaps you should leave while you still can. There's nothing you can do to change anything."

   "No. I'm not leaving. Not again." He nods in understanding.

   "I'll go finish the locator spell, see where they are," Bonnie says as she walks back inside. I sigh and start to pace around.

   "I don't blame you for leaving when you did," Elijah says to me. "You shouldn't feel guilty for leaving, there was nothing you could have done to stop him, there's nothing you can do."
