Merciless - TVD [1]

39

The following day, Damon was off having a dinner party with Elijah, Jenna, Alaric, Andie, and John while Elena and Stefan were still at the Boarding House. Somehow, Mallory had found herself missing all the fun and Alaric ended up daggering Elijah, only to fail in keeping it in, which caused him to come back. Elijah ended up going after Elena at the lake house, which lead to Elena daggering him because any vampire who tried would die alongside Elijah.

The whole time, Katherine had been tricking them into thinking if they daggered Elijah, she would be stuck in the tomb forever because he compelled her. Little did they know, they were completely wrong and Katherine was back to torture them.

Soon after that happened, Isobel came back to town, wreaking a bit of havoc as she kidnapped Elena. Katherine ended up being kidnapped by Klaus' witch and Isobel killed herself right in front of Elena after being compelled by Klaus. With the help of Mallory, Damon, Bonnie, and Jeremy found the witch massacre site, which Bonnie used to harness the power of 100 dead witches.

Outside the Salvatore Boarding House, Mallory, Damon, and Stefan all stood together, waiting for Elena to be done with the lawyer, who was going to sign the house over to her.

"You really think Bonnie can take on Klaus?" Damon asked his brother and sister curiously, breaking the silence between them.

"She said she could channel enough witch's power to kill him," Stefan informed him, "Elijah thought that would work and he was an Original, so..."

"Of course, we just need to find him," Mallory spoke up, "Which is going to be hard if he's using one of his special tricks."

"What do you mean by tricks?" Stefan asked Mallory confused and Mallory immediately turn to him.

"Nothing," She replied quickly, letting out a sigh, "Nevermind."

"Could she do one of those witch tracking spells?" Damon asked the two, referring to Bonnie.

"Nope," Stefan answered, shaking his head, "Not without something that belongs to Klaus. Believe me, I already asked."

"Do you think he killed her?" Damon asked, referring to Katherine.

"Katherine?" Stefan questioned, wanting to make sure they were talking about the same person, "Probably."

"It's not like the bitch didn't have it coming," Mallory commented before shaking her head, "But honestly, I have a feeling he didn't. Gifting Katherine with a quick death isn't like Klaus. He doesn't show mercy and doesn't take betrayal well so I have a feeling he'll be torturing her for at least half that.

"How do you know so much about him?" Damon asked, clearly hoping she would open up to him.

"He's the one who turned me," Mallory informed him and both of her brothers stared at her in shock, "Back when I was human, we were friends, until he was forced to leave town."

Stefan and Damon simply nodded, knowing how to make any comment toward her information. They knew if they did and Mallory didn't like it, she would never open up to them again.

Just then, Elena opened the front door, causing the three siblings to stand up from leaning on the brick ledge, "Thank you, Mr. Henry." She told the lawyer, shaking his hand.

The three of them were about to walk in when the invisible barrier stopped them. Elena turned to them, "I'm sorry. I completely forgot." She apologized, looking over at Stefan, "Stefan. Would you like to come inside my house?"

"Your house my ass," Mallory muttered under her breath, "I'm the one who got it built in the first place."

Damon gave Mallory an amused look while Elena and Stefan sighed, deciding to ignore her, "I would love to," Stefan smiled, entering the house, "Thank you."
