Torn from Dawn: Vampire Dairies

Jack: Chapter Twenty Four

The room was quiet, not a single noise besides my breathing could be heard, and I stood just inside doorway, looking upon my father. "Has everything been settled with Damon and Bonnie?" I ask, finding hard to look for words. "Yes, all matters have been consulted with, and an Original always keeps his word. Now are you ready to leave?" Klaus asked, only I shake my head. "Before we leave, I need to ask you for something" I protest, and then, I hear someone come down the stairs. "Which is" Klaus responds. "I trust you have sworn to never bring harm to this town again, nor allow any harm, but I only ask you that you give immunity to Katherine." His eyes look as though they would pop from his head, then asking "Katherine Pierce? Now why do you ask that?" I reply "Because I know that you have caused many deaths and have had Katherine on the run for five hundred years, and if you really want me to come with you, you'll do as I ask."

He thought for a few moments, then he asked "Have you fallen for her?" I bite my lip, nodding, then, he says "Another Mikaelson who has fallen for the charms of the vindictive vampire. In how long was this? Three, four weeks?" Elena then explains "Two days." Klaus then answers "You really work fast, as do I." Klaus then looks over to Katherine as she takes a step and stands beside me, clenching my hand. "Katerina, I have decided to drop my actions in hunting you down for the rest of eternity, but I don't apologise for chasing you after you committed the act of death and prevented my Hybrid making for five hundred years. Now, shall you come." He didn't ask that in a question form, but as a demand, wanting me to leave the house, to leave these people and Katherine, forever. 

I turn and look at everyone. The pure hearted Elena Gilbert, the kind Stefan Salvatore, his brother, Damon, who I didn't want to describe because I wasn't in the mood to swear in my departures. Caroline Forbes, the perky and kind one, the friendly, sympathetic Jeremy Gilbert, Tyler Lockwood, the behaved man, Bonnie Bennett, the protective, kind witch, Matt Donovan, the caring man, and then, Katherine Pierce, or also known as Katerina Petrova. The alluring, entrancing, touching vampire, who I knew, that even though I feared I would never see her again after this moment, I would love for the rest of my days and beyond. I then walk over to shake Stefan's hand, and he says "Good luck." I shake Tyler's, him exclaiming the same as Stefan, then Matt's, who says "So long, Jack." God, I even take Damon's hand, only he is silent.

Each of them wish me good luck, and then, Jeremy shakes my hand, and he then says "Take care, Jack. And don't worry, you'll find happiness in your new life." I then walk over to hug Elena and Caroline, who both exclaim "Nice meeting you, Jack," or "It was a pleasure meeting you," and when I come to Bonnie, she exclaims "I am sorry for all I've put you through." I protest "No, don;t worry. You gave me my father, and I can see that you only did this to protect your friends. That's an action of purity, and for that, I am thankful and blessed to see someone do something like that." She hugs me, and then, I come to Katherine.

"I love you Jack, and for having him release me, I'm speechless, thankful you did that." I then watch as few tears blur her vision, only I then say "I love you too, Katherine." I then lean in and kiss her, our lips touching, pressing against each other, our lips interlocking passionately, and then, I turn back to Klaus, who then says "Now, let's go." I then cross the outline of the door, and I then exit the house, walking off and down the road beside my father, vanishing into the night.
