Second Chance 》 The Vampire Diaries

Homecoming

A few reasons why I hate Klaus Mikaelson:

1) He's a stupid manipulative hybrid.

2) He took Stefan away from us by forcing him to be a Ripper.

3) He bit me.

4) He doesn't do anything unless he gets something out of it.

5) He killed the people I cared about.

6) He tried to kill Elena.

7) That stupid compulsion he used on me.

8) That mother fucker lied to Rebekah about Mikael killing her mother, when it was him.

I'm just glad that we all came together to finally come up with a plan to kill Klaus. Even if that means working with Stefan. I rather work with Mikael on this, no matter how much the guy gives me the creeps. At least Rebekah is on our side. I hate to admit this, but I don't want her getting hurt in all of this.

"All right, we'll say that Mikael followed Elena in here," Stefan started as we - him, Elena, Damon, and I - walked into the parlor. "He tried to grab her so he could use her as bait."

"And you, what, vervained him?" Elena asked.

I shook my head as I motioned me, Stefan, and Damon. "No, we vervained him. The guy's an Original. Make it realistic." 

"Ok, fine. We vervained him," Stefan said. "And in the process discovered that he had a dagger."

"Which he planned to use on Bekah, but instead -"

"We drove it through his heart." I rolled my eyes at Stefan's smugness. "Ahh, come on, Bels. You use to love it when we finished each other's sentences like that."

I placed my hands on my hips. "That was before you became an arrogant dickhead."

"Thank you."

This time, it was Elena who rolled her eyes. "What happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?"

"Good point," Damon said. "You, my brother, have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So if the idea is to lure him back here and kill him, the last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue tied."

"Well, every compulsion does have a loophole," I pointed out. "And Klaus is a pain in the ass, who probably wants to see the body the moment Stefan brings him back. He'll need proof that Mikael is dead."

Then Mikael strolled into the parlor. "Then I shall be dead." He placed a wrapped up handkerchief on the table.

I raised my eyebrow at him. "Are you sure? Because he'll want to see you in person."

"Well, then, that means our plan is working." Mikael took a step closer to me, making Damon take a step forward. "You seem to know Klaus well enough."

I don't like the way he's looking at me like that. "Klaus is monster. That whole summer the Stefan and I have been with him have been nothing but torture. I've been observing him, seeing how he works." Think of something better. Mikael looks like the type of person who will kill anyone who he thinks Klaus cares about. And for some reason, Klaus does care...in his own way. "To see him as this - this abomination. He shouldn't exist. I want that boy dead. Which is why we're going to lure him here, and you kill him."

Mikael seemed satisfied with that answer. He gave a little vicious smirk. "And I will."

"With what?" Stefan pipped up. "Those daggers won't work on him."

"Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree." Mikael unfolded the cloth to show the dagger while grabbing the smile vile of the ashes. "The one that left these ashes when it burned."
