3: Prank Night Turned Ugly

I'm in a classroom with Tony, Mark, and Tyler, as it's Senior Prank Night, and someone opens the door, as it's dark and I'm holding a black metal stick in my right hand. We've set up Mouse Traps all over the room for Senior Prank, and they begin snapping, and the lights turn on, and we see Matt. "Ohh! Oh, come on! Seriously?! Do you know how long it took for us to set all this up?!" Tony exclaims. "Forgot about senior prank night, huh?" Tony asks. "Clearly." Matt says. "How could you forget? We've only been waiting for this since like Freshman year." Tony says. "Yeah, Matt. If I'm doing this, you're doing this." I say, smiling, pointing at myself with the Saran Wrap, and then to him. "I'm kind of surprised any of you are doing this." Matt says. "Tony's making us." Mark says. "We're about to be Seniors. These are the memories that will stay with us forever, and if we don't." He says, and I interrupt him. "And if we don't create these memories now, then what's the point of it all?" I ask, smiling at him. "Go ahead and make fun, I don't care." He says, and I laugh. "You're all lame. And I've got ten more classrooms to prank." Tyler says, as we look at him, as he's carrying his bag in his left hand, and walks off, and I begin to walk after him. "Hey! Where are you going?" Mark asks, and I stop, and look at him. "To superglue Alaric's desk shut. I'm making memories." I say, and Tony and I both smile, and I turn around, and walk off. "I love you!" Tony exclaims, and I walk past Tyler talking to other students, handing them Saran Wrap. "Get the Faculty toilet seats, and Dana needs bodies in the gym. Let's go." Tyler says, as I look at them. "Bye, Smarty." Tyler says, smiling, and I smile back, laughing, and they walk off. I walk through double doors, and see Klaus, and gasp. "There's my boy." He says. "Klaus!" I exclaim, quietly, and he smiles, and I turn around, about to run off, and gasp again, seeing him. "You're supposed to be dead. What are we going to do about that?" He asks. We're walking down the hallway, as he's holding onto my right arm. "You put a rather large kink in my plans, love. The whole point of breaking the Curse and becoming a Hybrid was to make more Hybrids. I haven't been able to do that. Now my bet is, it has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing." He says. "If you're going to kill me, just do it! You'll die, too. So will every Supernatural Entity." I say. "What the bloody hell are you talking about?" He asks. "Short story is. I have to marry Elijah to save every Supernatural Entity in existence from dying. If I die and not awaken within twenty four hours, we all die. Has to be intimate and the works." I say. "Well, welcome to the dysfunctional family. I can't kill you, but I do have ways of making you suffer." He says. "I'm not afraid of you." I say. "I admire your bravery." He says, and grabs my waist, pushing us into the Gym. "Uh, love the beard?" I ask. "Thanks." He says, and grabs my right arm, again, and we see students setting cups all over the floor. "Attention, seniors. You have officially been busted. Prank night is over. Head on home." He says, in an American Accent, as we approach two students. Dana and her boyfriend, Chad, as they begin to walk off, holding hands. His right in her left. "You two." Klaus says, and they stop and turn around. "I remember you." He says. "I'm sorry. Who are you?" Dana asks, as he lets my arm go. "Oh, don't worry, I wasn't in my right head last time we met. Lift your foot up, please, Dana." He says, compellingly, and she lifts her left foot up, and he looks at Chad. "If she drops her foot, Chad, I want you to beat her to death. Understood?" He asks, compellingly, and Chad nods, and I look at Klaus. "Don't, Klaus. You don't have to hurt anybody." I say, and he looks at me. "Oh, come on, sweetheart. Of course I do." He says, and looks back at Dana and Chad. Dana's struggling to stay on her foot, and groans. "Keep it up." Klaus says. "Where's Stefan?" I ask, and he crosses his arms. "What did you do to him?" I ask, and he looks at me. "Stefan's on a time out." He says, and the door opens, and I look behind me, and see Mark and Matt. "Mark, get out of here!" I exclaim, and Klaus dashes behind him. "Ah, I was wondering when you'd show up." He says, as Mark turns around, gasping. "Now we can get started." Klaus says, and looks over at Dana and Chad. "Ah, Dana, why don't you relax? You and Chad sit tight." He says, and Dana lowers her foot, and Chad helps her, as I look at them, and back to Klaus talking to Mark. "I assume you're the reason Ethan's still walking around alive?" He asks. "That's right. If you want to blame someone, blame me." Mark says. "Oh, there's no need for blame, mate. Just your warlocky interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects. And since you caused the problem, I'm going to have you find the fix." Klaus says, and smiles, and the door opens, and we see Tyler with his hands behind his back with a blonde girl. "Get off of me!" Tyler exclaims. "Hush now." She says, and approaches us, and Klaus extends his right hand to her. "I'd like you all to meet my sister Rebekah." He says, and she looks at me. "Word of warning. She can be quite mean." He says, smiling, and she looks at him, as he puts his hand down. "Don't be an ass." She says, and pushes Tyler to him. "Leave him alone!" I exclaim, and they walk past me. "I'm going to make this very simple. Every time I attempt to turn a Werewolf into a Vampire Hybrid, they die during the transition. It's quite horrible, actually." He says, as I have my arms crossed, and he bites his left wrist, and forces Tyler to drink his blood, as Tyler groans, holding onto Klaus' arm. "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Mark. And for Tyler's sake.." He says, putting his left hand over Tyler's neck, and I shake my head. "You better hurry." He says, and snaps Tyler's neck, and Tyler falls to the ground, as Matt, Mark, and I gasp, and look down at Tyler. Klaus is by the bleachers, behind me as I'm walking around Tyler's body. "He killed him." Matt says. "He's not dead. Klaus' blood will turn him into a vampire." I say. "And if Mark's successful, he'll live through his transition." Klaus says, as I look at him, as he and Rebekah are approaching us, and I look forward. "Go on, then. Go and fetch your grimoires and enchantments and what not. I'll hold on to Ethan.." He says, and grabs my right arm, as I look at him. "For safe keeping." He says, smiling, and I look at Mark, and he shakes his head, and I nod, and he turns around, and Matt takes his right hand, and they run off. "So this is the latest Doppelganger." Rebekah says, as I look at her, gasping. "The original one was much more handsome." She says. "Enough, Rebekah." Klaus says, and I look at him. "Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?" He asks, and I look at her, as she smiles, and walks over to Tyler, and grabs his right hand with her left, and drags him. "Just ignore her. Petty little thing." He says. I'm comforting Dana, as Klaus is sitting on the bleachers next to us, and the door opens, and we look at it, and see Stefan, and he walks towards us, and I stand up. "Stefan.." I say. "Klaus." He says. "Come to save your damsel, mate?" Klaus asks, and Stefan nods. "I came to ask for your forgiveness. And pledge my loyalty." He says, and I take a step forward, as Stefan stops. "Ethan means nothing to me anymore." He says, looking at me, and back to Klaus, approaching him more. "And whatever you ask of me.. I will do." He says. "Fair enough." Klaus says, and he stands up, and walks down the bleachers. "Let's drink on it." He says, and walks towards us. "Kill them." He says, pointing at Dana and Chad with his right index finger, and puts his hand down, as I look at Dana and Chad stand up. "What are you waiting for?" Klaus asks, and I look at Stefan. "Kill them." Klaus says. "No! Stefan, don't." I say, shaking my head. "He's not going to hurt me. He already said." I say, and he hits the left side of my face, and I flip over, falling, as I scream. "He means nothing to you?" Klaus asks, as I touch the my face, crying. "Your lies just keep piling up." He says. "Let him go! I'll do whatever you want, you have my word!" Stefan exclaims. "Your word doesn't mean much. I lived by your word all summer, during which time I never had to resort to this. Stop fighting." Klaus says, compellingly. "Don't do this, don't do this." Stefan says. "I didn't want to. All I wanted was your allegiance. Now I'm going to have to take it." Klaus says. "Don't.. don't." Stefan says. "You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey." Klaus says, compellingly, as I sit up, and feel my nose bleeding. "No!" I exclaim, quietly, gasping. "Stefan!" I exclaim, quietly, and shake my head. "Now kill them. Ripper." Klaus says, and turns around, pointing at Dana and Chad with his right index finger, and puts his hand down, and Stefan dashes towards her, as she screams, and I scoot back, as he drains her of blood, and she drops dead, and I gasp. Stefan's feeding on Chad, and I feel Klaus get closer to me, and I flinch backwards. "It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element." He says, as Chad falls to the ground, dead. "The species has become such a broody lot. Nothing personal about hitting you, love. Just getting him fiesty." He says, and Stefan looks at me, with blood all around his mouth. "No. You did this to him. Just keep your hands off me." I say. "You're terrified, aren't you, love?" He asks, as I look at him, and forward, and he rubs my right left cheek with his thumb, gently, as I flinch. "I'm sorry." He says, and I nod, and he puts his hand down. "I invited him to the party, love. He's the one dancing on the table." He says, and we both stand up, and I hear the door open. "Where is it?!" Rebekah exclaims, as I flinch, and look at her, approaching us. "Where's my necklace?" She asks. "What are you talking about?" Klaus asks. "He has my necklace. Look." She says, and hands him the phone with her left hand, and he takes it with his right, and looks forward, zooming in on the phone with his left index finger and thumb, and goes up with his index finger, and looks up at me, as he puts his left hand down. "Well, well. More lies." He says. "Where.. is it?" She asks. "I don't have it anymore." I say. "You're lying!" She exclaims, and her red eyes and veins appear, and dashes towards me, and bites the right side of my neck, biting it, as I scream, and Klaus stops her, as I fall. "Knock it off!" He yells. "Make him tell me where it is, Nik!" She yells, and he walks over to me, as I touch my neck, groaning. "Where's the necklace, love? Be honest." He says, and I look at him. "I'm telling the truth. Alex stole it." I say. "Alexzandr. Of course. Well, that's unfortunate." He says, turning around, and stands up. "If we had the necklace it would make things a whole lot easier for your warlock, but since we're doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?" He asks, walking off, and I hear the buzzer go off. "Twenty minutes. If Mark hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again. Only this time, I want you to feed on Ethan. Sorry, in law." He says. What? In law?" She asks. "I'll tell you on the way out. To think Elijah was joking." He says, and I look at him, talking to Stefan, and he looks at me, smiling. "You know you want to." He says. "No, Klaus. Don't do this to him!" I exclaim, and he begins to walk off with Rebekah, as I look at Stefan. "No one leaves. If he tries to run, fracture his spine." He says, and Stefan looks at me, and I see it counting down at nineteen minutes and forty nine seconds. I'm walking around in circles, as there's six minutes and fifteen seconds, and I think of Tony's Dad resisting Compulsion. "Tony's Dad! Stefan, he was able to resist compulsion. I don't know how, but he did it. Maybe it's possible." I say, as he looks up at me, fake smiling. "Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's just mind control, right? Maybe it just takes some focus, a couple decades of training. No big deal." He says, sarcastically. "Stefan, you can control this. When that buzzer goes off, just. Just drink from me." I say. "You don't get it. I can't stop, Ethan! I'm a Ripper! A Ripper doesn't stop! I listen to the words that come out of your mouth, and all I hear is the sound of your heart pumping blood through your body. And when that clock ticks down.." He says, pointing at the buzzer wth his left index finger, and I look at the buzzer. "I'm going to have to feed on you. And you want to know what's worse? I'm not going to be able to stop." He says, as I look at him, and shake my head. "I don't believe that. You can fight it. You just have to want it bad enough. We've been through Hell and back together. We can get through this. Because not one little stupid wolf bite can do this to us." I say. "Why, because I love you?" He asks. "Yeah! That's right, Stefan. Because you love me. You'll fight because after everything that we've been through, you owe me that! You owe us that." I say, and he nods. "You know what, you're right. You're right. I owe you everything. I owe us everything. Because through all of this, you are the one thing that has kept me from giving up; from turning it all off. But I can't help what I am, Ethab. The more blood that I get, the more I want, and if I get so much as near yours.. You are dead." He says. There's fifteen seconds left. "Ethan, you're going to have run." I say. "But Klaus said that if I run." I say, and he interrupts me. "I know what he said, but if you stay, it won't matter. Ethan, please, please, please." He says, and I see we have five seconds left. "Ethan, there's no other way." He says. "There is another way, Stefan. It's for you to fight." I say, and the buzzer goes off, as we look at it, and back to him, as he's on the floor. "Stefan.. I love you. Fight, Stefan. Don't give up." I say. "I can't hold it." He says, and dashes towards me, as I scream, and turn around, holding onto the wall. "Ethan, run! Go!" He yells, and I run out of the gym, and down the hall, and open the double doors, and shut them, looking out the window, and turn around, coming face to face with Klaus, as I gasp. "We've got to stop meeting like this." He says, smiling, holding my right arm, and we dash off to the Cafeteria, and see Stefan stabbing himself with a broken wooden broom handle, as we approach him. "Now this is fascinating. I've never seen this before. The only thing stronger than your craving for blood is your love for this one boy. Why don't you turn it off?" Klaus asks, and lets my arm go, and approaches him. "No!" Stefan exclaims. "Come on. Your humanity is killing you. All the guilt must be exhausting. Turn it off." Klaus says, sitting on a table. "No!" Stefan exclaims. "Stefan.." I say, as Klaus gets up, and walks over to him. "You're strong. But you're not that strong." He says, and pull the broomstick handle our with his right hand, and tosses it to the floor. "Turn.. it.. off." He says. "No!" Stefan yells, shoving him, and Klaus dashes to him, pinning him to the wall. "Turn it off!" He yells, as I step forward, gasping. "I said no!" Stefan yells. "Now!" Klaus yells, and Stefan stops fighting, and breathes. "What did you do?" I ask, and Stefan closes his eyes, flipping his switch, and opens his eyes, and Klaus looks at me. "I fixed him." He says, and I shake my head, and he approaches me. "But I think a test is in order, don't you?" He asks, and stands behind me, touching my shoulders, as I gasp. "Ripper.. perhaps you'd like a drink.. from the Doppelganger's." He says, touching the left side of my neck, gently, and I see Stefan's eyes change red and his veins appear, and Klaus walks off, and Stefan dashes towards me, biting the right side of my neck, as I scream. I wake up in a bed, groaning, extremely weak, and feel a bandage on my neck. "Where am I?" I ask. "In the hospital, hun. You suffered through a terrible ordeal." A female nurse says, as I breathe heavily, and look at her. "I have to get out of here." I say, trying to sit up some, and she pushes me back, lightly. "Ah. Not an option. You've lost a lot of blood." She says, looking down past me, and I see a bloody bag, and pick it up with my left hand. "Wait.." I say, and look up at her. "You're taking my blood?" I ask. "Of course. It's very important for your friend Klaus." She says, and injects a sedative into my IV tube, as I gasp, trying to stop her, and she puts her hands on my shoulders after pushing my hands back. "Don't fight it, hun." She says, and I close my eyes. "He told me you need plenty of rest." She says, and I fall asleep on the pillow. I shift to the right, feeling someone pulling out the tubes in my right arm, and open my eyes, waking up, and see Damon holding the tube that was pumping my blood in his right hand. "Damon.." I say, and he looks at me. "Hey." He says, dropping the tube, as I sigh in relief, and he takes my covers off, and lifts up my legs, as I put my arms around his neck, and he carries me out of the room. "You came." I say, smiling, and he kisses the top of my head. "I will always come for you." He says, and I fall asleep. I'm at the Salvatore Boarding House Library with Damon, with a red blanket over me, looking forward, and I hear Damon approaching me, and he sits on the couch in front of me. "Hey, have some bourbon." He says, as I look at him holding a glass in his right hand, and take it with my left. "It'll help you forget." He says, and I sip it. "Mm." I say, groaning a little. "Yeah, it's strong. You know I can help you forget, too. At least the memories you don't want to keep." He says, and I shake my head. "No. No Compulsion. I need to remember. All of it. He denied Klaus after he yelled at him to turn it off, compellingly, but Klaus go to him." I say, and he looks down, nodding, and looks up, holding my necklace in his left hand. "I stole it back for you." He says, as I'm looking at it, and look up at him. "He's really gone this time. I watched it happen. After everything that we went through to get. To help him. Now he's just.. gone." I say, and he sets the necklace down, and I start crying. "Where were you, Damon?" I ask. "I shouldn't have left." He says, and I look down, and he puts his hand on my right leg, and I look up at him. "I promise you.. I will never leave you again." He says, and I give a small smile, nodding, crying more, and he nods. "Well, isn't this cozy?" Stefan asks, as Damon stands up, and we look at him, seeing his arms crossed by the doorway. "What are you doing here, brother?" Damon asks, and Stefan uncrosses his arms, walking towards the alcohol. "Last I checked, I live here." He says, and opens a bottle, and pours himself a drink. "Klaus is gone, but he's asked me to keep watch on you until he returns. From now on, you're under my protection." He says, smiling at me, and raises a glass with his right hand, and sips it. "Mm, by all means. Carry on." He says, pointing from Damon to me with his right index finger, and puts his hand down, and turns around, and walks off, and Damon and I look at each other, and I look back at the door.
