The Other Mikaelson |TVD| Book 1

Chapter 21 (Edited)

"The Departed"

Klaus was dead

When Rebekah called to tell us Alaric had killed him, I didn't know what to think. We reunited in the woods with Elijah after finding out the Salvatore's had his body. We wanted (Well, Elijah did) to make a deal with Elena in exchange of Klaus body. We also had found out she was the reason why Alaric was still breathing.

Esther had linked him to Elena's life as anything can't be truly immortal. Unfortunately, she picked the pathetic life who's under protection 24/7. The urge to kill her and everyone she loved was there stronger than ever.

Elijah and I were standing just outside Elena's house, waiting for them to notice our presence. Rebekah hadn't been too keen on Elijah's plan so she stayed away. I was willing to be here, giving my word I wouldn't kill anyone in that house. My restrain should do good.

Elena, Stefan and Matt were on the living room, talking about Elena's decision about who knows what. Even her sole voice wanted me to kill her. Elena tired of their words turned around, facing the door, finally spotting us outside

"Stefan..." Elena trailed off, nervously

Stefan turned around at her voice, noticing us "Elijah, Klarysse"

"Hello again" Elijah told them

"Its been a long time" I told them, smirking sarcastically

~8~

Elena invited us in, a little reluctantly about me but did so after Elijah reassured her I'll behave

Elijah and Elena were sitting at the kitchen table. I stood next to Elijah. Stefan and Matt were next to Elena, looking at us

"All we need is to take that stake away from him" Elijah told her "Once he's been disarmed, the weapon's in my possession, my family will scatter to the ends of the earth. And Alaric will follow us"

"And you'll just run?" Stefan asked incredulously

"We've done it before" I snapped, "Klaus and Rebekah spent the better part of a thousand years evading their father. What's another half century while Elena's able to live out the rest of her pathetic natural life?"

"We finally stopped him, Klarysse" Elena told me, giving me a nervous look. Good. Being afraid of me was good, though it seemed funny she was scared of a 16 year old looking girl "After everything that he's done to us, I can't just let you bring him back"

I glared at her. Die, bitch

Elijah put a hand in my arm, silently telling me to relax

I sighed, crossing my arms

"We give you our word, Elena" Elijah told her "Me nor Klarysse will revive Klaus within yours, nor even within your children's lifetimes. Perhaps it'll finally teach him some manners" 

"Why should she trust you?" Matt asked "All you've done is screw her over"

"And for that, I'm deeply ashamed" Elijah told them "But know this, she could have been dead the instant I walked through that door tonight. Or I would have let Klarysse kill you, you have no idea how much she hates Doppelgängers." I smiled sweetly. Elena looked between us, nervously "But you're still here. So, Elena, I leave it to you to make the decision whether to trust us or not"

"Not! Hello!" Damon was in the phone, on loud speaker "Did that concussion give you brain damage? His lunatic siblings will kill you the first chance they get!"

"Rebekah and Kol will honor the terms if you return Klaus' body to us" I told them, pursing my lips as I said the next through gritted teeth "Elena will come to no harm"

Elijah gave me a small amused smile, knowing it costed me a lot to say it. He turned to Elena "Do we have a deal?"

"No! No, no, no, no" Damon exclaimed over the phone "Did I mention, no!" 

Stefan looked at Elena "Elena, it's up to you"

Ugh, I wanna vomit.

"Oh, come on!" Damon complained

Elena turned to us "Why do you want Klaus' body?"

I exchanged a look with Elijah

"He's my cousin" I told her

"He's my brother" Elijah told her

"We remain together" we finished together

Elena sighed, looking up "We have a deal"

~8~

We had a plan.

Jeremy was on the phone with Alaric "I know where Klaus' body is"

"Good" Alaric told him "Tell me"

"Damon's on his way to bury him in the woods off route 12" Jeremy told him "I'll text you with the specifics"

"Thank you, Jeremy" Alaric told him "You're doing the right thing for your sister"

Jeremy looked up at us "I know" He hung up. "He bought it"

~8~

We agreed Rebekah would leave to collect Klaus' body as she wanted to.

Elijah and I walked through the woods, looking for Stefan. When we found him, he had a worried face, I exchanged a look with Elijah walking to him and Jeremy

"What happened?" Elijah asked

Stefan didn't answer

"What happened Stefan?" I repeated sternly

Stefan looked between me and Elijah hesitantly.

Klaus was dead for good this time

~8~

Elijah and I were still on the woods

After telling us about Klaus, Stefan and Jeremy left.

I had tears in my eyes. Not long ago one of my cousins died and now, another followed him. My head was on Elijah's shoulder as we waited for Rebekah. Elijah was as affected as me but neither of us let our tears fall.

Rebekah walked closer, crying "He's gone, Elijah, Klary. There was nothing I could do to stop it"

We walked closer. Elijah hugged her tightly, not letting me go either. The three of us, embracing, mourning the lost of our fallen family member

"Tyler Lockwood is dead, but the rest survived" Elijah told her, pulling away "You said that Niklaus turned their bloodline"

"I thought he did" Rebekah told him

"It wasn't me" Elijah told her

They looked at me

"Neither me or Kol" I told them, frowning "He was with me the whole time we were separated from you and we have never turned anyone before"

"It wasn't me, Elijah" Rebekah told us "It was Niklaus, I'm sure of it"

"Then how are they still alive?" Elijah asked

It was a question we all wanted the answer to. Sadly, we didn't have answers.
