The Death Cure [Jeremy Gilbert]

Chapter Three

" Elijah being human, means a fresh start. I could grow old, have a family, and fill my days with meaning knowing that each one of them matters." she begs.

" Well, that was poetic." Klaus begins.

" Well let's see if you can provide us with a more compelling reason for wanting the cure, Klaus please." Elijah suggests.

" Sylas can appear as anyone. He got inside my thoughts, convinced me I was dying. He will torment me until I give him the cure."

" And in doing so he will brake down the wall to the other side!" Rebekah exclaimed.

" So it doesn't trap him there when he dies! He wants to reunite with his lost soulmate. You of all the love sick fools should applaud his devotion." Klaus says sarcastically. I guess we really are brothers.

" He will open the supernatural gates, for every single being that has died!"

" Including our dear brothers, Kol and Finn. We'll have our family back." Klaus remarks.

Kol and Finn are dead. How is this possible? We are Immortal vampires for gods sakes! My favorite conceited brother is dead. I never really cared for Finn, he was mothers favorite. Mother never cared for the rest of us, well she never cared for me. In her eyes, I was the runt of the family. I was the only one who hadn't shown signs of magic. She was convinced that I wasn't a real witch.

" Please! You hated Kol, and you kept Finn in a box for most of his life!" Rebekah hisses.

" Lijah. Please." Klaus remarks, gesturing to Rebekah.

" Your personal discomfort, might not be the sufficient reason for putting the entire world in jeopardy Klaus. I think our sister deserves a shot at happiness." Elijah states.

" Can I put my opinion in the table?" I quickly ask before anything else happens.

"Please Bellamy, change this fools mind. Then we could have brotherly bonding time." Klaus remarks with a smirk.

"Being human means everything in the world to my sister. She is passionate about this decision, that it scares me half to death. Metaphorically, of course. In my wonderful opinion, my baby sister is being delusional. If she took the cure and became human again, she would have wasted a millennium in one simple lifetime."

" I thought you were on my side, Bellamy." Rebekah says in disbelief . I have clearly hurt her feelings.

" Yes Rebekah I am. Which is why I disagree with your decision. You say it's a fresh start, but you are completely wrong. You will still be haunted by the ghosts of your past. You will feel remorse for every one of your victims..." I pause, and turn my gaze to Elijah. " She wouldn't live a happy life if she would be miserable until the end. She will be so saddened by her wrong doings, and will more than likely kill herself. But she doesn't understand, and I don't have the right to speak my opinion, for I have been hibernating for nearly my whole life. I don't understand what it is like being immortal. Therefore, I do not have the right to tell my baby sister what she can and cannot do. But I know that she will not get the happy ending she deserves by being human. She simply has to change her ways and stay away from you two." I retort.

" Well said, brother." Klaus says in a joyous manner. He thinks he has gotten his way. But clearly he hasn't seen me for too long.

" Now Now, Klaus. I never said I agreed with you either. As Elijah said, Your discomfort is not a sufficient reason for putting the world into Jeopardy. Do you really, only care for yourself, rather than your own sister's happiness. Are you that selfish?"

" Yes he is." Rebekah answers.

" You see, Niklaus. You do not deserve your freedom from Sylas. From what I have heard from Rebekah, you have been busy over the years. Tormenting any one you can get your hands on. I think you should go through the torment that your victims have gone through..." I pause. I then turn to Rebekah seeing her joyous smile. " Wouldn't that be wonderful, Bekah?"

" Yes it most definitely would be, Bell."

I then turn to Elijah. I have made up my mind. I know who truly deserves to be human again. " I suggest you give the cure, to the one you call Elena. Her brother has died by Katherine's bidding. She has turned her humanity off, and if she does not have her emotions, she will be as horrible as Katherine."

" Tell me your joking. Tell me your not bidding me to an eternity of torture." Klaus demands.

" Stop! Niklaus, I have made my decision..." He pauses and looks at me through the corner of his eyes." And no one can change my mind."

I look at Rebekah and see her wonderful smile. But I know this will back fire. Something bad is going to happen.

Klaus goes to Rebekah whispers a few hurtful words in her ear. And then he is gone. I follow him out and capture his arm.

" Nik, don't take this personal."

" How can I not. You want me to be tortured! You want me to suffer in my own misery!" He spat.

" I do not want that. Your my brother. But you deserve the torment."

" I know I do. I understands what it feels to be tortured by my own self. I know I have done so many wrong doings, but it hurts. It hurts knowing that the only people I care about in this world want me to suffer at the hands of my enemy." He exclaims and I capture him in an embrace.

"You are my brother, Nik. I don't want you to suffer, I just want you to see how it feels. To learn from this. We will find a way to kill this man you call Silas. But in the meantime, you will have to experience the torment of your enemy, you will have to see what it's like to be the prey for once." I pause. "Now, I insist you go paint. You need to calm down, and I have been gone too long to help you. So go paint."

He simply nods and walks away.

When Elijah, Rebekah, and I had gotten home the day before, Klaus and I talked. It was more him then I. His favorite topic, was a blonde named Caroline. Klaus is in love, and it makes me happy knowing that he has found his light. After our talk, he reserved a room for me. That was were I was currently headed.

The room was simple. Yes, it was very large, but it had nothing but a king sized four poster bed and a dark wooden dresser. My millennia of sleep did not allow me to collect many things.

I go to the dresser, Klaus had compelled a man to fetch some stylish clothing for me. I was still in my clothing from many years before. But before I can open the drawer, I hear somebody clearing their throat.

I turn around getting ready to rip her head off. Katherine was behind me. I had seen her in the mirror.

I let out a growl, and speed towards her.

" Stop! It's me. Tatia!"

I had just grabbed her neck, about to take a bite. I throw her to the floor. I find it hard to believe, knowing very well that Tatiana was dead.

" Katherine! Stop with your petty little lies!"

" I am telling the truth, Bell."

" Is it really you?" I knew it had to be her. Nobody calls me that nickname, except for Tatiana and my sister.

" Yes, Bell. But I cannot stay for too long. I have a message."

" Tell me!"

" You have to help the witch brake the barrier. It is the only way."

" The only way for what?"

" The only way to bring me, and your family back from the dead. It's in your blood, Bell."

" What is? Don't be vague."

" The Death Cure."
