The Salvatore Sister

The Sacrifice

"Eben," I breathed. Niklaus' head shot up, and he looked at my terrified face. "Where is Elena?" I asked calmly even though I was dying inside. "I have her right here." Eben replied darkly, I tensed and my mind raced with worry for the poor girl. "Don't you dare touch her," I threatened him. My anger and fury towards the man on the other end of the phone started to build up even more. My hand started shaking and power surged through me, and I shattered the glass of the window with my magic. Elijah and Rebekah came into the room to see what was wrong. "If you want the doppelgänger back safe and sound you will come to the harbor and get on the same boat that you were supposed to burn the last time. Come alone and then I will release her. You have one hour until she burns like you will. Tick tock." And with that he hung up. I started trembling and took a deep breath. I turned around and stared at the three Original vampires that were blocking the door.

"Get out of the way." I demanded. "No." They all responded, even Elijah. "He has Elena, I need to go." I fought with them. They all wore the same expressions, none of them were moving. "Then let Elena die, you're not going." Rebekah protested. I glared at her; this was not how I wanted this to go. "He only has Elena because he knows I will surrender. I am the only one who can kill him and he knows this. The demons have kept him alive this long and he wants to keep them. A Black witch is the only who even knows the spell, so he is killing me. I am giving my brothers what they want, Elena's safety. Now let me do this or else." I told them. "No. I will not let you do this, you are not going leave us." Rebekah said to me, and I pitied her in that moment. Rebecca was one of my best friends and I hated to disappoint her, but I had to save Elena. Elena was like my sister and my brothers both loved her, sometimes more than they loved me. I had to save the person they loved the most, and this is what motivated me to do what I did.

My eyes went black before I used my magic to pin them all to the wall, snapping Nik's neck in the process. "I am sorry, but I have to do this." I said looking both Elijah and Rebekah in the eye. They were trying to fight it, so I walked out of the room. I texted Katherine quickly telling her what happened and if she was going to do anything she better do it soon. I looked down at my bracelet, it had been in my mother's family for centuries. The bracelet has said to contain magic, but I was not so sure. I read somewhere that if a Black witch dies with the bracelet on, the bracelet absorbs the energy and preserves it. My mother died with the bracelet on, and Damon gave it to me as a gift for my 16th birthday, exactly a year before I died. When I was a vampire I had used it to protect myself from the sunlight.

Katherine POV

I looked down at my phone to see that I got a text from Sydney. The text did not surprise me, but I knew that we needed to hurry up and get to Mystic Falls. "Sydney said Eben's made his move. She's turning herself in right now." I told my former lovers. Their eyes went wide in fear and they looked at each other. That was the thing about the Salvatore's, they knew each other so well that they did not even need to speak to know what the other was thinking. They are one of the closest families I have ever known and they would go to the ends of the earth for each other. The Salvatore Stronghold, forever.

"Ok, let's go. I'll text him and get the plan in motion." I said dialing his number in my phone and sending the message. He quickly sent me a reply saying that everything was set and ready to go. The plan was in motion.

Sydney POV

I got in my car and started it, muttering a spell at the same time. It would keep the Originals here, at least until I died. Then all my magic would wear off. I sighed, my death was not something I liked to think about, but it was going to happen all the same. I began my journey to the harbor, and I could not help but thinking about Elena. I felt sorry for her, and I really needed to save her, she does not need to die the way I will. Passing by all the places in town made me nostalgic for the time that had seemed so simple, a time before all of this. My thoughts were cut off when I arrived at the harbor, releasing a breath, I exited the car and made my way to a large ferry. It was here that I was supposed to die. My head snapped up, hearing a blood curtling scream coming from the other side of the boat. As quietly as I could, I ran towards the sound. Just as I figured, it was Elena who was being sprayed with vervain. "Stop." I commanded, making my presence known.
