The Other Gilbert

The Sacrafice

I have never hated someone so much in my entire life, Klaus the man with a stone for a heart.

Tears pool at the rim of my eye sockets as I try to pry my hands out. I can already feel the rope burns on my wrists, but I tried to ignore the pain rushing through me. The scene was laid out before me, I started to worry. If Jenna is in transition, she is gonna need to feed, what if the whole purpose of having me tied up here is for her to feed on me. I couldn't leave that out, Klaus has such a sick mind maybe that's the only reason he brought me here, to make the situation more screwed up. My imagination was running wild, my head snaps in the direction of the yelling. The lady that stood behind Elena shoves her back making her stumble onto the ground. She was right back on her feet ready to run to Jenna, but she was barricaded into what looks like a ring of fire surrounding her. So she was a witch, of course, Klaus seems to have plenty of those lying around.

"Elena!" I cry out making myself know from the shadows of the very tall tree. She looked past the flames and squints at my direction.

"Kory..." I think I heard Elena mumbled to herself. "No." She cried out loudly when she finally was able to recognize me. "Greta, please don't do this, just let them go. Please."

My eyes widen when the witch had reached out for a sharp stone and slit her wrist open with the sharp end, "What the hell!" I shift sides uneasily, trying to find a way to squeeze through.

"Klaus chose her." She took out her wrist for Jenna to take.

"No please." I choked out. Stay calm Kory, take a deep breath and relax. I chant in my head.

I bit my lip from letting a sob escape once Jenna sunk her teeth into Greta's wrist. Greta seemed to get some sick pleasure out of it but soon knocks Jenna down realizing she gave her enough and envelops her in a familiar ring of fire just like she did to Elena.

"Quite a masterpiece isn't it?" His husky voice catches me by surprise, I jump a bit but was pushed back by the restraints. "What a family affair." He sighs content with the situation that was displayed in front of him. I tried even harder to get through the thin ropes. "Having trouble love?"

I shot a glare his way, "Why are you doing this Klaus."

"I have explained this too many times, I must break the wolf & moon curse for God... Greta!" He called out signaling her towards us, once she was close she smiled down at me, her cynical smile made me feel uncomfortable. "Ever since the day I met you, I knew there was something strange going on in your little head." He says, his finger presses against my skull softly. I try to move my head away from his finger, I cannot stand to look at him. What is he even talking about? "I wanted to make sure if my assumptions were right, will you so kindly answer my question?"

"Gladly." I sent him a quizzical look and watched her every step she took towards me. She bent down to be eye level with me, "This will only hurt a lot." She mutters.

"What is she talking about." I couldn't hide the panic in my voice, my eyes snap towards Klaus. Before I could even think any further into it, she orders Klaus to get closer towards Jenna and places her hands on my temple. "Klaus." I cried out. Why am I crying out for Klaus? Dear god, I have hit my lowest of lows.

She massages her palms against my temple for a second and I couldn't see where the pain was going to come from or if it was never going to come. I frown when I felt a small tingle coming from the back of my head.

"Kory?" I could hear Jenna mutter from behind Greta, I know they couldn't see me with Greta crouching down right in front of me. That's when the tingle turned into an excruciating pain rushing through my head, it overwhelms me, and I cry out coughing, choking and sobbing. I couldn't breathe for one second, I couldn't see the next. My head was all over the place, the witch is messing with my head.
