The Mikaelson's Girl// The Trilogy to The Other Gilbert Girl

Before Sunset

I woke up to my phone buzzing next to me. I look at the caller ID and it's Jo. I hit answer and bring the phone to my ear.
     "Hey Jojo." I say but my voice cracks.
     "Hey Pheebs, Elena just called me. They've all been trying to get ahold of you." She tells me and I sit up.
    "I know, I just needed some space." I tell her and I hear her sigh.
    "I'm so sorry. How are you holding up? Have you eaten anything?" She asks me and I shake my head even though she can't see me.
    "I'm not hungry." I tell her and look down at my dad's t-shirt in my hand.
   "I know, but you have to eat something. Even just some crackers or chips." She tells me and I nod and stay silent otherwise.
    "I'm so sorry I can't be there for you right now. I'll come back to town as soon as I can but  we have to book flights." She tells me and I nod.
   "I know." I say so quiet I'm not sure I said anything at all.
    "Call Elena. This is the time you lean on each other. Or even call Hunter or one of the Salvatores. They're all really worried about you. Just let someone know that you're... holding up." She says after a slight pause.
    "I will. I love you so much Jojo." I tel her and a tear rolls down my cheek.
    "I love you, too, Pheebs. I will see you soon!" She says and I nod and hang up. I stand up and make my way to my bathroom. My alarm clock reads 9:45. I turn on the shower and let it heat up. I unlock my phone and go into my messages with Stefan.

     I'm fine. Everything is all good. No need to worry about me.

I type out and then turn on my favorite Hollywood undead playlist and take of my clothes and take a very long much needed shower. I'm just about wrapped up with my shower when my phone starts ringing again. I wrap myself in a towel and turn off my music before looking at the caller I.D, It's my dad's phone.
    "Whoever this is, you're playing a sick joke on the wrong person." I seethe through the phone.
   "It's no joke, I'm alive." I hear my dad's voice go through the phone.
   "Dad? But, how?" I ask in surprise and joy.
   "We both know how. Now I'm very alive and I'm at the school with your dear friend Caroline. Make your way down here and she won't have to die." He tells me and suddenly it dawns on me.
   "You're not my dad." I say and he chuckles through the other side.
   "Oh, but I am. Be here, and don't tell anyone where you're going." He tells me and hangs up. I rush into my room and change into my black ripped jeans and a dark purple tank top with my leather jacket. I put on my black boots and head into my dad's room for some of his weapons. I grab a wrist air compressor, a gun with wooden bullets, a thin stake that I put in my right boot, a second gun that goes in the back of my pants, last is stakes that were fashioned into hair sticks and put my hair in a but with them after dipping them in vervain. I look over it all and add a vervain grenade to my pocket of my leather jacket. I grab my keys, my phone and make my way down stairs. Then it dawns on me that my car is at the house. I groan and look around and my eyes fall on my skateboard in the lobby. Damn, I haven't ridden it in so long. I grab it and start on my to the school.
I get there approximately 30 minutes after the phone call with my dad's alter ego. I leave the skateboard outside and raise my gun as I walk into the school. I start to make my way through the hallways that lead to my dad's classroom when I hear groaning. I rush up to the door and look in to see Caroline in a desk with pencils in her hands and Elena standing next to her.
    "Just in time." I hear behind me and turn to see my 'Dad'. I pull the trigger on the gun more times than I can count and the rush into the classroom and start to help Elena with Caroline when my Dad stabs the pencil back into her hand.
    "You said You would let her go!" Elena tells him.
   "When are you going to start listening to me, Elena. Don't trust vampires!" He tells her and walks over to his desk. "See you're sister here, my beautiful, strong daughter was right to bring a gun." He says and turns to look at us. "Take a seat." He says and motions his hand do the room of desks. I hear Elena sit down but I keep standing staring at him. He starts laughing and stands up again and I turn around to keep my eyes on him as he makes his way over to Caroline. Hs dips her gag in vervain and puts it back on.
    "Ric, stop!" Elena says standing up.
    "Sit down." He says pushing her down and I raise my gun at him again and nod my head at Caroline in a motion that it will be alright.
    "Don't touch my sister." I tell him and he laughs.
    "Elena you really should be more like Phoebe. She's not afraid to kill a vampire. Even if it is her own dad." He tells her and then meets my eye contact.
    "You're not my dad. My dad wouldn't want to hurt good people." I say motioning to Caroline.
    "She's a vampire, she's killed someone."  He tells me as if that makes this all ok.
   "So have you! You killed those founders. That wasn't my dad, that was you." I tell him and he walks back over to his desk.
   "The council needed cleansing." He tells me.
   "You do not get to play god!" I yell at him. "You don't get to choose who lives and who dies." I tell him and he shakes his head.
   "That gag keeps the vervain in her system. It's like inhaling razor blades with every breath." My dad says changing the subject.
   "Why are you doing this?" Elena asks.
   "To make it easier when you put her out of her misery." He tells Elena.
   "What? No!"
   "Isn't this what you wanted? For me to teach you how to kill a vampire? Well, here's a vampire, Elena. I've taught Phoebe everything, it's your turn now." He tells her and hand her the white oak stake that won't ever stop working. "Kill her."
   "This isn't what I want." She tells him.
   "Of course it is. All those hours you spent training, getting stronger... you could be a hunter, Elena. But you've never actually staked a vampire through the heart." He tells her and starts pacing in front of us.
"Why are you doing this?" Elena asks again.
"Because you need me. Both of you. Because you two are an 18 and 17 year old girls without parents or guidance or any sense of right and wrong. Except for me." He says the last part looking at me.
    "Look at you. How is this right?" Elena asks him.
   "She's a murderer, she told me she killed someone and liked it. Now how is that right?" He asks and I look to Caroline and I feel really bad that she got pulled into this. "See, Elena, your parents lead the council. It was their life's mission to keep this town safe. They weren't dead 6 months before you in did it all." He tells her.
    "That's longer than you'll have. Once you die, I swear I will keep protecting my friends and family in this town, vampires included." I tell him and he smirks with a chuckle.
   "If you don't side with the humans, you're just as bad as them. Now kill her. Or I'll do it for you. And I'll make it hurt." He tells her and then makes her stand up. And moves her so she is standing in front of Caroline. She goes to stab him instead and he grabs her arm. While he is paying attention to her I punch him right in the back and it ejects the stake. I take the one in my boot and stab him in the stomach while Elena helps Caroline. I turn back to
them and they rush out of the room. I walk backwards shooting my Dad with my spare gun.
    "I'm sorry, Daddy." I say and then turn as soon as I get in the hallway. He grabs me as I turn and Elena stops and Caroline runs off.
   "Let her go." Elena tell him and he pushes me so I go flying into some lockers and goes to get Elena. He holds her up against some lockers and as I go to stand up I get light headed and slip again. I turn to see Damon and Stefan rush in to the sides of him. He knocks them out and Nik comes running in. I stand up and lean on the lockers and Klaus rips his hand into my dad's chest. That is until he breaks Nik's arm and throws him my way. He rushes over to Nik and they start to fight until he has the blade over Nik's chest and I pull out my gun and try to aim at him but I can't make out them right.
    "Stop! Let him go or I'll kill myself." Elena tells them as she holds a blade to her throat. I look over at her like she's crazy and go to move  to her but she puts her hand out and gives me a look.
    "Put it down, Elena." My dad days.
    "Why? Because you still need me alive? There's a reason why Esther used me to make you, isn't there? She didn't want you to be immortal. So she tied your life to a human one-- Mine. That way you only have one lifespan to kill all vampires and then you'll be gone. So when I die, you die, too. That's it! It has to be!" Elena tells him and I'm a little shocked that she figured that all out.
   "You're wrong." He tells her and I move my eyes to Nik's and tell myself that he'll be fine.
    "Am I?" She asks and starts to cut her neck and I go to stop her.
   "Stop, stop, stop, stop!" My dad screams and then Nik catches him off balance and sends him flying before he grabs us both and runs off.

I wake up on the couch in my living room and sit up and wonder how I even got here. I turn around and see Tyler, Caroline, Matt, Jeremy, Bonnie and Elena all in the kitchen around the island. I stand up and walk over to them.
    "Hey, what happened?" I ask them all and all their smiles wipe off their face. "What is it? Is it my dad? Did you stop him? Where Stef and Damon? And Nik, he uh, he saved us from the school. Did he bring me here?" I ask them and then they all look at each other. "Just tell me."
    "Klaus isn't going to be around anymore." Bonnie tells me.
    "Did he leave? No, he wouldn't. Not without me, he wouldn't leave me." I tell them.
    "No, um, it's something else. Bonnie, she used the spell that Abby used on Mikael to stop Klaus after he tried to kill me." Elena explains slowly and I give her a confused look.
    "What? No, no he wouldn't." I say as tears start to run down my face. Elena moves over to pull me into her arms. "He's gone? He's really gone?" I ask in a weak voice and she nods. "Why do I lose everyone?" I ask and close my eyes and hold on to her tighter.
    "I'm so sorry." She whispers to me and I sob some more.
I make my way up to my room not feeling up to everyone's celebration of my boyfriend being desiccated. I fall asleep fast and welcome the darkness.
