More Than A Petrova (SPN/TVD)

Chapter 13

There was no trace of the sun by the time they exited the Grill which was fine for the group. It was easier to hide things in the darkness.

When they reached the Impala, Sam and Dean packed whatever they would need into their duffel bags while Meg concentrated on the power that was entering town. While making sure that prying eyes weren't watching the Winchesters, Damon and Alaric kept their eyes open. Damon took this opportunity to tell Alaric the rest of the plan he had missed out on. With a bit of convincing, Damon got Alaric to agree to Meg repossessing him again so that they could walk into the lion's den without being detected. Alaric didn't like it but if it led to Klaus' death in the end, he would subject himself to Meg's invasion. The demon even had to promise to keep Alaric's body in the same condition it was in before the repossession took place just to placate the humans involved.

After everything was packed, Alaric went to his car while everyone else piled into the Impala before Dean pulled out and drove off to Alaric's apartment building again. Once they arrived, Alaric got out of his car before he joined Meg in the Impala's backseat. Meg repossessed Alaric so that only Alaric's body exited the Impala to join Damon and the Winchesters while Meg's unconscious meatsuit laid in the backseat of the Impala.

"So that's why we're going after an Original." Meg commented after she exited the Impala in Alaric's body. When neither man elaborated, she continued, "To save Elena from Klaus' curse-breaking ritual." She finished with a smirk when she saw Damon's eyes widened yet neither Winchester looked impressed.

"I was wondering when you'd bring it up." Dean grumbled. Demons had access to their host's thoughts and memories and he's been waiting for Meg to just bring the ritual up since her first trip into Alaric. The hunter was just thrilled that no one had told Alaric about Elena being a Winchester yet.

Meg shrugged as she walked towards them. "Well I wasn't paying attention to his thoughts before and even though he's trying to lock me out, I still got the gist of things." She said though she did look impressed at the idea of a human trying to keep her demon self out of his mind while already in his body.

Dean grunted. "Well stop reading his thoughts. The fact that he agreed for you to jump back into him should grant him a free pass." He told her before he continued his way to the front entrance.

Meg sighed dramatically, making it an odd sight since it looked like Alaric was doing it. "If only it were that simple."

Dean rolled his eyes as he refrained from fighting with the demon; they couldn't lose focus now.

Wanting to keep the peace for the time being, Sam diverted the conversation to more important matters. "Is everyone aware of their part?" Sam questioned once they were all in the lobby.

Putting Dean and Meg's banter aside, everyone nodded as they made their way upstairs.

Once they got to Alaric's floor, they split off for a brief moment. Sam and Dean headed for the apartment across from Alaric's while Damon and Meg went for Alaric's door. Meg allowed Alaric to take control long enough to give Damon an invitation into his apartment before he let Meg take control once again. When Damon was able to touch Alaric's door with the intention of pushing it open (something he wasn't able to do last time), it was enough proof for the vampire before he joined Sam and Dean. The brothers then knocked on the door they were at and when they found out that it belonged to one person, Damon compelled them access inside. They would hide out there until it was time for them to make their presence known.

Once Damon and the Winchesters were inside their new hideout, Meg turned back to Alaric's apartment door while keeping in mind that she had to behave like Klaus. She also had to keep in mind that she didn't have much time left before the power surge reached their location.
