chapter three

The sight of a vampire feeding off of a human annoyed Rosemary. Granted, she had eaten someone before coming here, but unfortunately for humans, Rosemary was always hungry. She did try to convince Klaus to let her kill Chad, but he refused and told Stefan to do it instead.

Niklaus crouched down behind Elena and looked at Stefan in pride while Elena was looking at him in horror. "It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element. The species has become such a broody lot," He said.

"No! You did this to him." Elena bit out, voice full of hatred as Stefan turned around to face them.

"Nik simply invited him to the party, darling. Stefan's the one dancing on the table," Rosemary said as she put one hand on her hip and tilted her head. She looked back when she heard the gym doors open.

Through it came Rebekah and she looked really pissed off. "Where is it?! Where's my necklace?" She asked as she rushed towards Elena.

"What are you talking about?" Niklaus asked, stopping her from going after Elena.

"She has my necklace. Look," Rebekah said and gave Niklaus the phone so that he could see a picture of Elena and Stefan together. Rosemary stood on her tiptoes so that she could see it. A cute photo of Stefan and Elena was on screen. Around Elena's neck hung Rebekah's necklace.

"Well, well. More lies," Niklaus said, looking back at Stefan with narrowed eyes.

"Where is it?" Rebekah asked again, this time slowly.

"I don't have it anymore," Elena answered.

"You're lying!" Rebekah accused. She vamped out and rushed to bite Elena, but was quickly stopped by Niklaus.

"Knock it off!" Klaus yelled.

"Make her tell me where it is, Nik!" Rebekah yelled back.

Klaus looked at Elena, who now was sitting on the floor with a hand on her neck. He crouched down beside her and asked, "Where's the necklace, sweetheart?"

"Be honest." Rosemary piped in.

   "I'm telling the truth. Katherine stole it." Elena said, her voice wavering.

"Katerina. Of course," Niklaus said, not that surprised as he got up. "Well, that's unfortunate. If we had the necklace it would make things a whole lot easier for your witch, but since we're doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?" Niklaus said and set the clock. There was a buzzer sound as the number twenty appeared on the board.

"20 minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again." Niklaus said. "Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena," he said.

"You know you want to," Rosemary said when she saw the look on Stefan's face. A mix between horror, fear and anger. But mostly fear.

"No, Klaus! Don't do this to him!" Elena yelled out.

"No one leaves. If she tries to run, fracture her spine," Niklaus said as he walked out, followed by Rosemary and Rebekah.

"You know," Rosemary started. "This whole, 'lets punish Rose for kicks and giggles', is getting a bit old now."

Rebekah glared at Rose. "Maybe if you didn't refuse to tell him what is wrong with his hybrids he would let Kol go, but no. You just have to be a stubborn child."

"Wait," Caroline said as she looked up at the short red head, "you know what's wrong? You know how to fix this?" She asked.
