The Devil and His Witch

Chapter 3: The Only Way to Talk to the Dead is to Be Dead

Bel's POV:

I quickly find Rebekah sitting outside by the lockers. On the floor next to her is the one and only Caroline Forbes. Tyler is next to her. Rebekah is going through her phone. "Hey." I say, sitting next to her. "Hey, do you know how to use one of these?" She asks. I nod, smiling. 

I start showing her how to use it and all its many functions. After about thirty minutes Caroline starts to wake up. "You know, they didn't have mobile telephones in my day. Would have made life a whole lot easier I suppose. Oh, Bel quick, let's get a photo together." She says. 

I laugh and lean in, smiling. "That's cute, send that to me like I showed you how." I tell her. She nods and proceeds to do so. "Bel?" Caroline asks, groaning. "Hey Care-Bear, did you miss me?" I say, putting on the fakest grin ever. "Where's Tyler?" She asks. "Oh him? He's dead." I tell her. 

"Ish." Rebekah adds. Caroline bolts up, going over to him. "What did you do to him?" She asks. "Nothing he didn't have coming." Rebekah smirks along with me. "Think of it as he's having a nap. When he wakes up, he'll be a hybrid." She explains, looking through Caroline pictures.

She comes across one of Elena and a pretty attractive guy. "Ugh, vomit." Rebekah sneers. Then she freezes. She zooms in the picture to a necklace on Elena's neck. "Is that my neck-" She rushes to stand up. She holds up the phone to Caroline. 

"Why is that doppelgänger bitch wearing my necklace?" She spits. Caroline just shakes her head. "Come on, let's go have a chat with my dearest sister." I say, standing as well. She nods and the two of us head back towards the gym. Rebekah storms in. "Where is it?" She snaps. 

I'm speed walking to keep up. "Where's my necklace?" "What are you talking about?" Klaus asks. Only now do I see the guy from the picture standing behind Elena. He has blood dripping down his mouth. I smirk at him. He seems confused. 

He might've known one or more of my past doppelgängers. Who knows. "She has my necklace. Look." She says, handing Klaus the phone. He stares at the picture. "Well, well. More lies." "Where is it?" Rebekah says in an eerily calm voice. "I don't have it anymore." Elena tries. 

"You're lying." Rebekah says, her face vamping out. She bites into Elena's neck, but Klaus throws her off. "Knock it off!" He yells. "Make her tell me where it is Nik!" She urges in the same tone. Klaus turns to Elena, kneeling down to her level on the ground. 

"Where's the necklace sweetheart? Be honest." "I'm telling the truth. Katherine stole it." She insists. "Katerina. Of course. Well, that's unfortunate. Also, your witch friend is running out of time. Let's see if your sister can do better." I smirk. 

"Oh please. I'll have the answer by the time Tyler wakes up. Come on Bekah, I need you for this." She grins at the nickname and follows me out of the gym. We go to where we left Caroline and Tyler. They migrated to the classroom right next to where we were. 

I grab a piece of paper and write down a spell on it. "Get Bonnie in here. Tell her to do this spell on me in two minutes." I say, handing the paper to Rebekah. She nods and speeds off. "What are you going to do?" Caroline asks. 

"I'm going to stop my heart to talk to the Original Witch. Isn't it obvious? The only way to talk to the dead is to be dead. Soon Rebekah is back with Matt and Bonnie is tow. "Bel I know this spell, you really think I'm going to do this on you?" She asks. 

"You don't, Tyler dies. Now, two minutes. If you don't bring me back, well, let's just say I'll be a very angry spirit on the other side." Her eyes widen. I kneel on the ground and close my eyes. "Rebekah, give me your hands." I feel her hands in mine. "What's going on? Is it working?" 

I hear Klaus ask as he enters. "Sh." I shush him. Then there's silence. I take a deep breath. Let's just hope I don't end up killing myself permanently. If I die, so help me, Bonnie Bennett won't live to see tomorrow either. 

"Phasmatos Tribam, Mihan Veras Ractas, Mas Anima Mal Vita Caturam Hors. Suus Phasmatos Oproctum, E Tiamis Mihan Ractas, Somus Suster Gana. Phasmatos Tribam, Mihan Veras Ractas, Mas Anima Mal Vita, Caturam Hors. Somos Suster Gana, Phasmatos Tribam, Mihan Veras Ractas. Mas Anima Mal Vita, Caturam Hors. Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victas, Revertas Phasmatis Ut Victas, Phasmatos Tribum, Mihan Veras Ractas. Mas Anima Mal Vita, Caturam Hors!" 

Then everything goes numb. When I open my eyes I'm in a dark space. In front of me stands a woman in an old dress with long blonde hair. "Hello dear." She says, smiling at me. I look at her curiously. "Who are you?" 

"I'm the Original Witch. I suppose that you want to know about the hybrids?" She asks. I nod. "Well, it is like the spell states. The doppelgänger sacrificed should be dead." I nod, not believing her for a second. "Thank you, for showing your hand." I smirk. Her eyes widen. "NO!" 

But I am pulled out of the room. I gasp as I sit up. I was lying on my back in the classroom, everyone hovering over me. "She said Elena should be dead, which I took as, it's Elena's human blood that will turn your hybrids. Only her line of doppelgängers can turn them." He grins. 

"Excellent love. Thank you." I nod and stand up. "Well, I'm tired of looking at all of you. I'm headed to talk to Jeremy for a bit. Night." With that I exit the room and head home. After several hours of talking with Jeremy about my adventures outside Mystic Falls I decide to head out. 

I'm almost to my new apartment when my phone rings. "Hello?" "Hello love." "Klaus. What do I own the pleasure?" I tease. He laughs slightly. "I have a proposition for you." "Oh?" "How would you like to come with me to make my hybrids." I think for a second. I came back for Jeremy. 

"Ok, but only for a little and I have to make sure Jeremy's ok." "Of course love. Send me your address and I'll pick you up in an hour." "Sounds good to me. See you then." With that I hang up. I quickly dial Jeremy's number and explain to her everything. He's upset, but understands. 

I promise to call him everyday before he fully concedes to it. Once I hang up I'm at my apartment. I unload all of my bags that I didn't send with the rest of my things. I unpack most of it, but then repack some for my trip with Nik.

By the time I'm finishing up I hear a knock on the door and grin. I walk over and open it, bag on my shoulder. "Ready love?" Klaus asks me. I nod. "Let's get the hell outta here." He grins and takes my bag for me.

I follow him to his car and get in. Once we're situated we take off. Looks like I can't stay in Mystic Falls for more than a few hours. I guess I lost my bet with Hayley. Damn it, now I owe her twenty bucks.
