Transitioning Into The Unknown [Book 2]

The Long-Awaited Talk

Notes:

I was going to post this two days ago but life happened. Anyway, no big deal I got this written and I think it's good.

I finally got my Netflix account back so research ahead. I just really need to figure out the timeline. I just need to know when important characters come in and when they leave and then when the originals start.

If I know all of that then I think I could finish this book. Because the ritual is over and I just want to move on to New Orleans now but now I have to figure out how I'm going to do that. And more adventures await us in New Orleans, in another book, in the series but that is not yet.

Elijah's POV:

I was about to kill my brother. But I was too late. He's transformed into his true self. I wouldn't have minded celebrating with him, if only he hadn't taken away the rest of our siblings. He looks so alive again. I do realize that it has been a long time coming for him. Yet I still go in for the kill again. Though it may be futile, the anger at knowing he won, that knowing he took away our siblings, it ruins me to the core.

However, my brother held up a hand as if to say stop.

"Dear brother. Let's stop fighting."

"I would be happy for you, Niklaus. But you killed our family." I said in deep-seeded anger coursing through me.

"No, Elijah, I didn't put them on the bottom of the ocean. I have them stored away, honest brother. Let's put an end to this and discuss it another time. If you kill me now, you'll never find them." Klaus says, still breathing heavily from the transformation.

"Fine, but if I find out you're lying to me, this will be continued," I say as I back off for now on the off-chance that my family is still alive.

If they are still alive, I will save them and bring them back. Release them from their coffins that my brother put them in so many years ago.

Outside POV:

I see Damon vamp, Through the fire clutch and Elena on the floor.

He screams in desperation, he screams her name.

"Elena!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Then Stephen makes a futile attempt to attack the newly powered-up Klaus. But it does nothing. At the height of his power, on a full moon, with the curse newly broken. Klaus is unstoppable, unbeatable, and overpowered. There's nothing that anyone could do. But they needn't worry.

Because while in Damon's arms, Elena's heart beats once. Then again and again and again until it gets a steady rhythm going.

And then she gasps for breath.

She's alive again. In the distance, you can see the witch Greta on her knees, slowly losing her breath dying. A life for a life. Equivalent exchange. The most basic rule in the book. Greta didn't even have time to feel betrayed because she was dead the moment Elena awoke.

After Elijah and Klaus made a truce. The fight was over. Elena was alive again. The witch Greta was dead. Peter and Stiles were off to the side, watching this all go down.

And Klaus was a hybrid once again. He took off running, almost as soon after Elijah stopped fighting. He just needed to get out and run. He was finally a wolf again.

The next day, post-ritual....

Stiles POV:

"So, what is it you wanted to ask me?" Klaus asks.
