Mother (Alaric S., Damon S.,)

37.

Nobodies POV

Inside the Salvatore tomb Elena, Alaric and Jeremy are talking.

"Damon's here. And Klaus took Esther's body." Jeremy says

"Does he know about the stake?" Alaric ask "No, only that she tried to turn you into a weapon and failed. What's going on?" Jeremy ask

"Listen Jeremy, I'm not gonna complete the transition. My dark side was dangerous enough as a human. I can't be a vampire." Alaric says "So, what we're just gonna lock you in here and let you die?" Jeremy ask

Alaric doesn't answer.

"No, no we can't!" Jeremy yells "Listen, Jeremy, it's the right thing to do, okay? After everything that's happened, after all that I have done. Maybe I had it coming." Alaric says

Jeremy turns around and walks away. "Hey, wait, Jer...Alaric this isn't your fault." Elena says

Jeremy stops and turns around.

"Please, you guys let's not make this any harder than it already is. You two should go. Damon's here. He'll make sure it'll all go down the right way." Alaric says

Jeremy starts walking.

"Hey, hey..." Alaric says "Don't. Don't give me some crap speech about how I need to be the man of the house." Jeremy says

"Okay, I won't." Alaric says

Alaric hugs Jeremy. Jeremy walks away. Alaric turns towards Elena. There are tears in her eyes.

"This is all my fault. You moved out, you gave me your ring back, you didn't want any part of this and I, I forced you to stay and take care of us." Elena says

"Don't do that, okay. Taking care of you and Jeremy has been-has been the closest I've ever come to the life I always wanted." Alaric says

Elena hugs Alaric and cries.

"You should go." Alaric says

Elena walks out of the tomb.

Daenerys enters the tomb, Alaric freezes upon seeing her. "Did you really expect me not to say goodbye." Daenerys ask

Alaric smiles and he brings her into his arms, kissing her one last time. Daenerys sobs against his mouth, clutching to him.

They pull away. Alaric wipes away her tears, hand resting on her cheek, love coating his eyes. "I wish I can change your mind." Daenerys says "I know." Alaric says

"I love you." Daenerys whispers, Alaric's breath hitches. Eyes glossing over, happiness taking over the sadness. "I love you too." Alaric says

"Don't be scared Alaric." Daenerys says "knowing you love me, I won't be." Alaric says "good." Daenerys says

....

Daenerys walks out of the tomb. Alaric follows her.

They see a gathering of people outside the tomb. There are lit candles scattered around them. Alaric smiles a little.

Alaric takes hold of Daenerys hand, holding it tight. Even if he said he wasn't scared, he really is.

The camera pans from Stefan to Damon, Caroline and Tyler, Matt, Bonnie, Jeremy, and stops on Elena who is crying. Alaric tears up and goes into the tomb and closes the gate.

Daenerys looks up, holding back the tears.

....

Daenerys is home, watching Klaus pull out the dagger from Rebekahs chest.

....

Damon enters the tomb. "Aw, Ric." Damon says

"Is this the part where you give me a dream? Rainbows and rolling green hills?" Alaric ask "I was drunk when I told you that." Damon says

Alaric laughs.

"Yeah and I told you I'd use it against you." Alaric says "Damn you. Sorry I killed you. Twice." Damon says

They both laugh. "So I have to actually die to get a real apology out of you." Alaric ask "Drink." Damon says

Damon offers Alaric the whiskey bottle. "Actually, I've been thinking about cutting back." Alaric says

A tear rolls down Alaric's cheek. "Ha, yeah! This stuff will kill ya." Damon says

Damon takes a swig from the bottle. Another tear is streaming down Alaric's face. He takes the bottle and has a drink.

"Take care of her." Alaric says "I will." Damon says "you love her." Alaric ask "more then you know." Damon says "good." Alaric says

Alaric was glad Daenerys will have Damon, he was happy that she won't be alone.

....

Damon is sitting next to Alaric who is unconscious and breathing heavily. Alaric stops breathing. Damon drinks the rest of the whiskey in the bottle, puts it down and exits the tomb.

Outside he sees Bonnie. There's a full moon in the sky. "What are you doing here?" Damon ask

Bonnie is walking blankly towards the tomb. She doesn't show any signs of noticing Damon.

"Hey, Bonnie...What, are you sleepwalking or something? Bonnie?" Damon ask

Bonnie turns around and lifts her hand in the air towards Damon and gives him a headache. He clutches his head and falls to the ground screaming in pain.

"No! Bonnie! No!" Damon screams

Bonnie enters the tomb, looks down at Alaric's body, then stabs one of her palms with the indestructible white oak stake and puts her palm to Alaric's mouth.

He starts drinking. He wakes up, revealing vampire teeth. He pulls Bonnie closer, bites her neck, and drinks. He throws her body to the floor, gets up, and holds the stake.
