Torn from Dawn: Vampire Dairies

Jack/ Katherine: Chapter Thirty

 Jack:

I stirred, my eyes fluttering, but when I try to rub my eyes, my hands can't move. I yank hard, only I then realise that I am restrained. I look up to my hands, seeing that there is a red, glowing light that coils around both my hands, attached to the floor, and the same thing is with my feet, keeping a tight grip as snakes do to their prey. "Well, this one can certainly remain unconscious for a while" an unfamiliar voice says, and then a second voice, one that is somewhat British and feminine, says "Of you consider four hours a while." "Of course I do, Esther, dear." I look around, seeing two people standing behind me, and I seem to recall that name. "Hello, grandchild. I don't believe we've met, I am your grandfather, Mikael, and this is my wife, your grandmother, Esther. We have heard many things about you on the Other Side-" I halt him, then asking "Like what?"

"Firstly, your constant questioning, that reminds us of your father-" I halted Esther, responding "Nicklaus isn't my father. He plans to kill me, as I know you both do, too." Mikael chuckled, exclaiming "We love our children, but they are an abomination. They must be destroyed, along with every other supernatural to rid the world of its sins." I then reply "That means you will pass on, too." Esther then exclaims "Yes, we shall venture to the Other Side, but we shall be with our children, and soon, you." I muttered "Great, an eternity with my grandparents and father, the ones who want me dead.

"Well, secondly, you have the looks of your father when he was your age, and thirdly, he is an abomination, as are you." I laugh, then, I say "I'd rather be an abomination than someone who plots people’s deaths in their ghost, vampire slash witch form or their dead vampire slash hunter form, hint, hint." I then relax my eyes, closing them, knowing that soon, I would have to endure death. Where am I? I then look back to Esther and Mikael, then, asking politely, "Where are we?" Esther then looks over to Mikael, then, he says "Let’s just say that death looms nearby, a heavy force that you shall soon join." I then snap my eyes shut, pretending that I am in fear, but I focus my thoughts upon what they said. 'Death looms nearby,' I repeat those words in my head constantly, praying that someone will hear my thoughts.

There was a high pitched noise in my head, similar to the scream of a young girl, only higher and louder, until, someone's thoughts floated in. "Death looms nearby, death looms nearby. Someone please help me." I turn quickly back to Klaus, Stefan and Caroline, who look at me, studying the look on my face. "I heard Jack." Klaus then confronts me, asking "Where is he?!" I then explain "He said that death looms nearby." Stefan then explains "Near the cemetery. It's the best we have, now, we better go." We then begin to flash off, Stefan and Caroline alerting the others to look around the cemetery, and I then send my thoughts to Jack, a whisper of comfort, promising "We're coming."

Jack:

Fear was coursing through my mind, consuming me whole, but there was one part of me that remained untouched by that dreadful feeling. I had hope, and I prayed that they would find me in time, but I know that if they do find me, a whole lot of them will die at my hands. As I opened my eyes, there was the sound of footsteps, heavy ones, and behind those footsteps, were even more, like an army, in perfect sync, moving inward to battle the enemy. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the Son of the Damned." The leading man approached me, and he wore entirely black clothes, like a suit made out of midnight, and so did all of the hunters who followed him in. "The one and only" I muttered under my breath, only he then asks "Are you scared?" He seems to think it didn't need answering, as if it was rhetorical, but I shake my head, lying.

"Well, you may not be scared now, but you certainly will be when the Grimm Reaper stands before you." I look up to him and say "I'd rather die than come face to face with my father again." Her smirks, then, he watches as only what I believed to be a quarter of his men stand near the walls, while, to my amazement, ghostly figures begin appearing all around me. "I have summoned witches, many of them. Although they are ghosts now, they are still intact with their powers, and wish for only to see the death of all dark supernatural, trapping them forever on the Other Side. And you, little Klaus, is what we are going to use to do that." I shut all the fear up in my mind, not wanting to reveal it to those around me, and I knew that it was not going to be easy to escape an entire ghost coven of witches along with an army of hunters.

"Oh God, have mercy on these sinful souls" I exclaim, knowing that they will hear every word I compose, only, at that, the hunter's leader, who's name I didn't know, grabbed the blade by his waist, and as he grasps the hilt tight, he plunges it into my chest, causing my agonising scream to pierce the night. Tears filled my eyes, and I clenched my hands into fists, my nails digging into the skin of my palms, causing blood to escape the torn open flesh upon my hands. I looked down at the wound, seeing that blood stained my shirt, and slowly, blood began to create a growing pool around me, drenching my clothes in blood. As I snap my eyes shut at the sight of the painful injury, I hear voices from behind me, and one of them yells "Step the fuck away from my son!"
