The Enigma: A Klaus Mikaelson Love Story {1}

Chapter 15: A Chance To Be A Hero

The three of us drove in silence due to Stefan's anxiety and the current hatred Nik harboured for me. We pulled up to the school silently and Stefan received a text and smiled.

"Abby just got there" Stefan said, his smile encompassing his whole face.

"Looks like this plan might not be such a failure after all. For me at least" Nik said with an even bigger smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" Stefan said, his whole body quaking with fear once again. Nik had plans, ones that Stefan knew would not benefit him as much.

"You didn't think my plans would suddenly change? I still plan to take her and leave" Nik said as he turned to face him.

"I'll come with you. I don't care where I have to go if it means I can still take care of Elena" Stefan said quickly with conviction. The love he had for her was enough to fill up the earth's core. It was touching. It reminded me of the way Nik and I were once.

"And that's why you're the best for her. If only she could see it too" Nik said smirking.

"Maybe worry about your own love life." Stefan said gesturing to me before he walked off. I looked down at the ground, I didn't know if I had anything to say to him but Nik apparently had the same idea.

"Too bad there isn't anything to worry about." Klaus said curtly before walking away from me. I had dotted the last i and crossed the final t. Klaus wasn't going to take me back, only to bide his time until I broke his heart again, just adding to the pain he already bore. Maybe before I was saving him, I was helping him but now I had become the anchor keeping him down—a burden. I had to set him free, I had to set him free of me.

I caught up with Stefan and Klaus who had met up with Damon, Bonnie and Jeremy who were all gathered around the front of the high school.

"What did I miss?" I said, walking up to a table outside the high school.

"Your friend Jeremy here is about to bite the dust." Klaus said grinning with sheer delight.

"No he is not" I said speeding up to protect him.

"We need a beating heart for the spell." Bonnie snapped.

"I have my ring. I'll be fine" Jeremy said trying to reassure me.

"I don't care. Alaric over there is an insane person because of that ring. It's too dangerous, we'll find another way." I pushed. It was bad enough that we already had one Alaric, we didn't need to give him the means to make a fan club for Original haters.

"Isn't that exactly what I said? Because I feel like if more than one person knows it's crazy, then it's probably crazy" Damon said speaking up with me. I was still standing in front of him before Klaus came and took him away from me.

"There is no other way!" Klaus snapped. "Now do the bloody spell witch."

Bonnie looked at me with a comforting look. "He's going to be okay, I promise" She walked up to me and handed me a vial with blood. "This is my blood; you all need to take it. This will connect us so that when Jeremy's heart stops, you'll be able to stop his. You need to connect with his bloodstream, anything that gets to his heart." I took a swig of the blood and passed it along. By the time the bottle got to Klaus he stopped and turned to look at us all.

"Just so you know, I created your bloodline. You kill me, I'll take you along for the ride." He said with a smirk on his face.

"Either that, or you just want to save your semi-immortal ass." Damon said to him. "He telling the truth Fi? Give us the inside scoop, you're likeable, I promise we won't kill ya."
