Beautiful Disaster

Episode 18: A Blurred Fate

WARNINGS: Violence; Temporary Character Death

Klaus turned to Elena next. He held out his hand, which she ignored.

"Thank you, Elena," Klaus said.

"Go to hell," Elena spat.

Klaus sunk his fangs into her neck, draining her dry of blood. He let her go as his transformation started.

He could feel everything heighten even more than before. Small sounds of pain escaped him as his bones snapped and shifted.

Suddenly, he was thrown to the ground. Klaus shouted as pain coursed through his body.

His eyes landed on Bonnie, walking up. Seeing Elion and Elena dead only made her power that much stronger.

"You were dead," Klaus gritted.

Damon vamped to the other witch, snapping her neck and tossing her aside.

He rushed over to Elion and picked him up into his arms. It didn't take long for him to notice he was dead.

"No... Not you," Damon whispered, holding him, "Elion, wake up. Come on. Open your eyes."

"Damon, take them and leave," Stefan gritted.

He was still stuck staring at Elion's lifeless corpse. Shock overtook his brain.

"DAMON," Stefan shouted, snapping him out of his head, "Go. Take him and Elena and get out of here."

Damon finally stood up and vamped away with Elion and Elena in his arms. Bonnie paused her spell as Elijah stepped forward.

"Elijah," Klaus whispered.

"Hello brother," Elijah said, standing over him.

A brief sense of security was seen on his face. It quickly vanished as Elijah shoved his fist into his chest.

Klaus choked out a pained cry. He stared up at his brother with a look of fear. He was gonna kill him.

"In the name of our family, Niklaus..."

"They're alive," Klaus said quickly, "Kill me and you'll never find them."

Elijah's resolve to kill Klaus broke. Elion hasn't met his uncles and aunt. They could be a family. He turned to Stefan and Bonnie.

"I'm sorry."

Before they could react, he took Klaus and left.

Back at the Salvatore House, Damon hugged Elion close to his chest. Tears streamed down his face.
