Night Time Creatures [Klaus Mikaelson]

46 • He's Coming

Aliona's P.O.V

I'd lost Damon a while ago and had no idea where he'd gone, instead I decided to just go home and see if Stefan and Elena were back yet. Surprisingly I'd beaten everyone home, leaving me alone in the empty house.

Damon suddenly came barging through the door, making me jump and look at him in disbelief as he held a dead John Gilbert over his shoulder.

"What the hell?" I asked in shock. "How? Why?"

"Either Katherine or Isobel, right in the middle of that Lockwood party thing." Damon spoke and frowned. "How did we beat Stefan and Elena back? They weren't there when I got there." His phone suddenly rang as he threw Johns body on the floor. "Don't worry he's got that ring on, he'll wake up soon." Damon shrugged before answering the phone. "Stefan where are you? What!"

Damon's shouts startled me as he rushed to the bathroom, grabbing the bowl full of soaps and searching for something. That's when I realised what was missing.

"Why did you hide the god damned moonstone in a soap bowl!" I exclaimed.

"We have a real problem, Katherine's taken it and Elena." Damon spoke as my face paled, she was going to offer them both for her freedom.

Damon went out to find Elena with Stefan, leaving me alone again. In my boredom I decided to go to the grill, try to find Matt or just get drunk and try to forget that Klaus is nearly here.

I walked into the happy room and looked around at all of the young people gossiping with friends and people at the bar drinking their sorrows, the contrast was very stark. I saw Jenna sat alone at a booth and decided to wonder over, see what's happening from another point of view.

"Hey Jenna." I smiled at her as she nodded.

"Hey Ali." She smiled as I slid into the other side of the booth.

"You alright?" I questioned upon seeing her face return to the sad expression it had been like before she'd seen me.

"No." She signed as I raised an eyebrow. "Isobel showed up at the door this morning, I thought she was dead." Jenna breathed out in confusion.

"Oh, I didn't know. I'm sorry." I lied, and smiled sympathetically.

"It's fine, so then I told Rick to never come near me again." She looked down as tears filled her eyes. "Look Ali I appreciate the company but I'm gunna go, get out of town to clear my head for a few days." Jenna rose from the table as I nodded.

"I think that's a good idea, where will you go?" I asked as she shrugged.

"My friends house, it's only a few miles from here anyway." Jenna spoke as we walked out into the car park.

"Okay well good luck, and I'm sorry about all this." I sighed and hugged her, watching her get into her car and drive away.

I got back to the house that night to see my brothers and Elena from the doorway.

"What did I miss?" I asked in confusion as John Gilbert walked past me and out the door, well looked like he'd survived death...again.

"Isobel's dead, she betrayed Katherine and handed her over to Klaus." Elena spoke as my heart dropped and my face paled.

"He's here? I-In Mystic Falls?" I asked as Stefan nodded, I swallowed hard and sighed deeply. Trying not to freak out or run, I was done running, I reminded myself. I shook my head and tried to step inside the house, however I couldn't.

"We gave the deed of the house over to Elena, to keep her safe from him." Stefan explained as I nodded before glancing at her expectantly. I saw something flash across her features, a hesitation. As if she was debating on whether or not to invite me in.
