Elena's P.O.V

Cassia draws a knife from a bag at her side, it can only mean one thing: she plans on using the Petrova blood. The star s has been completed, Cassia enters the centre and pierced the palm of her left hand with the sharp blade, allowing blood to leave her hand and fall into the surface of where she stands.

"And so it begins." She says to the rest of us.

Cassia holds out her hand and gestures to Tatia, beckoning her to come forward. As Tatia does so a look of fear and terror is beheld upon her face.

"Tatia." Elijah says in the confined space.

Tatia's gaze meets Elijah, she looks reminiscent and infatuated by his presence.

"You don't have to do this." He begs her.

"Elijah, I...." Tatia is interrupted as Cassia marks her palm with the blade and blood drops yet again onto the centre.

"Thank you love, sorry did that hurt?" she says menacingly.

"My death was more painful." Tatia replies.

"You next." Cassia gestures to Katherine.

Katherine makes her way to Cassia, she seems more indignant for what is happening, but she still complies as the knife opens up a wound on her palm.

It is now my turn, I can't do this, I will not be responsible for the death of my friends and every supernatural being.

"You will do as I say Elena!" Cassia is very unhappy.

"No." I say with great feeling.

"Elena, all that she is doing is trying to create a world for you and your loved ones to live in peace and free from the harm of the supernatural world." Esther says, trying to touch my conscience.

"Yeah but she'll be killing my friends and other innocent people, all whom have been burdened with the torment of living as a supernatural being, she's no better than those she's killing." I say feeling scared.

"Am I not? Elena didn't your parents and your Aunt Jenna desire a world free of darkness and monsters and don't you want to live a happy life with Stefan and Damon again?" Cassia is trying to guilt-trip me.

"Don't you dare use my family or Stefan and Damon as an excuse for any of this!"

"My life is happy as it is, I have my brother, my friends and Elijah but most of all I have mine and Elijah's unborn child."

"Are you so sure that it's Elijah's?" Cassia asks.

"What are you talking about?" I ask confusedly.

"Look, I don't have time for this just do what you're supposed to do now."

I can't, I turn away and move myself as far away as possible, how could she try and say that the baby is not Elijah's?

"Elena." two familiar voices say from behind.

I turn to see the figures of Stefan and Damon Salvatore again. Is it really them, how can this be?

"Elena it's not them, Cassia will do anything to tempt you right now!" Caroline calls from the distance.

"If you help me, I can bring them back Elena. All I ask is for your assistance in return." Cassia is tricking me.

I step towards Stefan and Damon, I can touch them and they can touch me.

Cassia stands right behind them, she steps forward and they fade away to nothing. Cassia stabs my palm with the knife, I scream out in pain.

"I knew you were tricking me, you never planned to restore them did you?!"

"Before I begin the spell, I think I'll kill you first."

I stand frightened, I run towards Elijah but am blocked away by the seal, our hands meet each other like they are touching the glass of a window.

Is this where it all ends?

*****

Cassia's P.O.V

I have everything I need, I can at last begin the ritual, I raise my hand and the blood speeds out across the star until every inch us coloured red.

Now with all of the Petrova doppelgänger blood, including the true originators, I will at last rid the world of every supernatural being in existence!"

I look over at Elena, I'll finish her off later, for now I shall complete the curse and bury them all.

I softly chant the spell and the fires on the torches ignite largely, it's working: the vampires that are confined by the seals fa to their knees and breathe deeply, very soon they will all be dead and I can at last rest in peace.

As I continue the spell, I can't help but smile a little at having finally fulfilled my task.

"I've done it." I say to myself.
