Pre As I Lay Dying

Y/N had been asleep for far too long. Klaus' blood should've cured her head wound, but doctors at the hospital told Elena multiple times she had not woken once in the days she'd been there.

Jenna was still learning the ropes of being vampire, but Elena couldn't have been happier she was ok. John had sacrificed himself for her, so she could be human and she didn't know how to feel. He was her real dad, but he had never been there for her. She felt horrible about the whole thing and she wished Y/N was awake so she could tell her what had happened.

Elena squeezed her hand once then turned to walk away. If she had stayed a moment longer, it would've meant trouble for everyone. As one of Klaus' compelled henchmen had just rounded the corner and snuck into Y/N's room.

At Alaric's apartment, Stefan was busy arguing with Klaus.

Elijah was daggered on the ground, Stefan felt the sting of a stake in his abdomen as Klaus tortured him for asking for help.

"The witches said you have a cure. Just give it to me save Damon, I'll do whatever you want." Klaus smirked, he knew what he wanted, a ripper.

Stefan had downed four blood bags when a knock came at the door. Klaus motioned for Katherine to answer it. She opened the door to reveal a strange man carrying Y/N. "Oh yes, I'd nearly forgotten about her," he stood motioning the man toward Alaric's couch. "Caught up in all the fun." He smiled at Stefan. "Why the hell is she here?" Stefan asked. Katherine seemed to have the same question judging by the disbelief on her face. "Well I was going to kill her, but I realized Greta never got a chance to explain why I couldn't turn her. I wanted to know something terrible, so much so I asked Elijah to do me a little favor. "

Flash back in the hospital

Y/N always wore vervain. She tried to just drink it but found herself forgetting often. It was easier to stuff it inside of every jewelry item she owned and let herself be protected by fashion. When she was admitted to the hospital, all her jewelry was removed with her clothes. So when Elijah compelled her to stay asleep until Klaus himself said to wake up, she had no defense.

Stefan was shocked at the news. He had been terrified something was wrong with Y/N for days. He shouldn't have ever let her be unattended at the hospital. Dear god how could he be so stupid?

"Uh uh," Klaus tutted at him, "Just because we have another guest doesn't mean you get to stop drinking. Have another." He pointed to the blood bags. Stefan couldn't hold back his scowl as he scarfed another one down.

Klaus lightly grazed Y/N's head before leaning down to whisper, "Wake up," He sat there a moment waiting to see his plan work out smoothly once more, but she didn't stir. He looked down at her once more, watching her steady breaths. He tapped her lightly on the shoulder, then a bit harder. At this final attempt she woke. She groaned rubbing her head wondering what the fuck was happening.

As I lay dying

When I woke I was convinced I was in hell. I had died at the ritual and gone straight to hell like my dad always said I would. Klaus was staring at me, an agitated smile on his face. Stefan and Katherine(?) looked on at me as I slowly came to. I pinched myself once and then, thoroughly convinced I was awake, began to freak the fuck out.

"What the actual fuck?" I practically screamed moving back from Klaus. I realized now I was in a hospital gown and all of my jewelry was missing. "There we are, I thought Elijah told you to wake up when I said to."

I stared confused at him, "Why the fuck would I listen to Elijah?" I looked over at Stefan and noticed a body on the floor. "Mother of god, did you psychos dagger Elijah, again?" I grumbled out. "Well you're full of energy, aren't you?" Klaus mumbled out.

"So are you, I thought you were going to kill him." I called out to Stefan. "We tried, Elijah betrayed us." I looked down at his corpse once more then back at Stefan. "Well then is Elena?" Stefan looked at the empty blood bag in his hand, "She's gone." I stared at him in disbelief. Damon had given her blood, how could she be gone? I looked to Katherine, who seemed to be trying to hide her face so as to not make me uncomfortable. I appreciated the effort.

Klaus shuffled awkwardly beside me as if I'd spoiled his fun. He pointed at Stefan and on instinct he grabbed a blood bag. "Hey what the fuck are you doing?" I sat up further, "He goes nuts on human blood you dipshit." Klaus' smile widened, "I know."

"Oh so you're just crazy huh?" He didn't seem offended by my comment. He stood walking towards Stefan. He seemed to be pouring something into a vial which he held out for Katherine. "Sweetheart, Take this over to Damon and come back."

Katherine grabbed the vial tentatively, "I can leave?"

"Yes and if I were you," she was already gone

"I'd hurry."

Stefan yelled at him about her not doing what he said. I was busy trying to figure out what the fuck was happening.

The boys sat in silence for an instant too long, which caused me to get pissed. "Why the fuck am I here?" I asked. Klaus turned toward me smiling again. I was really tired of it though. What was he a jolly little elf with his stupid accent and weirdly bright personality?

"These are yours," he handed over a bag of the things I had been wearing at the ritual. "If you wish to go change you can, but you have to come back soon. We're going on a trip"

I got up eyeing Klaus suspiciously before going into the bathroom and putting on my clothes and jewelry. They smelled of ash and I was reminded of the ritual. How I'd been hit over the head with a rock. When I left the bathroom, I looked over at Stefan. He seemed to be struggling with an inner conflict. "Did Jenna make it out?" I asked. He smiled as wide as he could manage, "Yeah she's alright, thanks to you."

"Ah yes, how could we forget. The brave witchy warrior who saved Elena's Aunt. That's actually one of the reasons you're here. I find you interesting, and I never find anyone interesting as of late. I was going to ask Greta about you but Bonnie went and killed her so, I guess Im going to have to just talk with you."

I looked over at Stefan and he shrugged. "What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked.

Klaus looked frustrated, "You, love, I want to learn more about you."

"Oh, no, thanks, I'd much rather just go home." I made a move toward the door, but he sped in front of me. "Now love, that's not very polite. I've invited you on an all expenses paid vacation for the low price of getting to know you and you turn it down?"

I looked at him confused once more. "Yep," I turned back toward the door, but he caught me by the arm. Damn long sleeves I couldn't siphon him. I tried a fire spell but only managed a spark, "Mother fucker, how long was I asleep?"

"About two days," I turned around to look at Klaus in astonishment "Two days, how hard did that bitch hit me?" He laughed as I grabbed my head assessing any leftover damage. "No darling you're fine I had you compelled to remain asleep. That way you'd be easier to bring here."

I stared at him a moment in shock.

"See, you keep using words that sound nice and warm, when you're actually doing something awful," I spoke. "You didn't bring me here, you had me compelled to kidnap me."

"And bring you here," Klaus spoke happily pushing his hands out in wonder.

"That's the same thing. They don't leave the cash in the Getaway Car." Stefan stifled a laugh at my messy analogy. "Either way, darling, just cooperate and everything will be fine." Klaus placed a threatening hand on my shoulder. I moved to push it off of me. "Where the fuck are we going?" Klaus smirked.

We went to a fucking warehouse so Elijah could be placed in a coffin with the rest of Klaus' weird ass family. "Damon's gonna be alright." Stefan told me, he'd filled me in on the bite information in passing on the way over. "Katherine's not coming back you know?"

"Of course I do, she's on vervain." Klaus spoke clearly. "Now one small step left before we leave this fucking stupid town." I rolled my eyes at his language. He led a girl over to Stefan then bit her neck, "I could've compelled her to behave, but a real ripper enjoys the hunt." He let her go and she ran toward the exit. Stefan sped over to her biting her again. "Now we can go." Klaus whispered in my ear as he put a hand on my shoulder. "Don't fucking touch me," I shoved his arm off. He grabbed my arm but I managed to pull away. He got annoyed and slammed me into the side of the car. "You don't order me around. I enjoy your wit and bravery, but I am the one in charge here." I grabbed his hand at my throat and he smirked, seeming to think I was struggling against him. I began siphoning him and he realized almost immediately.

Eventual Klaus Mikaelson x Siphoner! Reader

I feel like I should mention that most of this fanfic is going to be build up. I plan on having Klaus and the reader get together but I want it to be one of the slowest burns ever. I want there to be tension, but I also don’t want to force something too quickly. I feel like Klaus’ paranoia is what makes relationships hard for him on the show. I want to build a solid foundation for them so that I don’t have to rely on miscommunication as a trope to be the main storyline of the fanfic. I want to have them be together helping each other throughout the series.

The last day

Elena spent the entire night explaining what I had missed while I slept through the day. Bonnie had faked her death, Elijah was undaggered, and there was a plan to kill Klaus which didn't involve anyone dying.

Also Elijah and Klaus were siblings, it wasn't as important but I was rather shocked at the news.

She asked if I wanted to go over to the Salvatore house to hear the plan, and I agreed.

She drove me over and I was shocked to see Alaric standing in the house. I threw him across the room, still juiced up from last night. "Y/N, what the hell?" Jenna yelled going to get him. "I hesitated last time and Bonnie died I am not risking shit again." I said putting my hand up to attack again. "Y/N, calm down, it's Ric. Klaus let him go, he went back into his own body." I put my arm down looking over to Alaric as he groaned sitting back up. "Sorry, Ric, you understand right?"

He shot me a thumbs up as Jenna helped him to stand.

"I'd love an apology too," Damon called from his spot across the room.

"For what?" He rolled his eyes, "I don't know, almost killing me for saving Bonnie and helping our plan." I looked at him in disbelief, "Oh come on. I thought you had stopped me from helping my friend as she killed herself. I regret nothing and I'd do it again." Elijah raised a brow at the threat. I looked over at Stefan and he raised his hands defensively.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's get on with the plan." Elena spoke up.

"The plan is stupid," Damon responded. "No it isn't Damon, it will work." Elena tried to reason with him. "I'm not going to die, Elijah has an elixir. It's going to work, I'm going to be fine." She tried to reassure him.

Damon stared at her longingly, "I don't want to lose you," he whispered. I looked over at Stefan who looked just as uncomfortable as me. "You won't." Elena spoke assuredly. He stared at her a moment longer before in a blur, he bit into his wrist and forced his blood down her throat. I pushed him off of her with a spell going over to pick her off the floor.

"Dammit Damon," Stefan growled out. "How could you of all people take this choice away from her?"

"C'mon brother, admit you wish you had the balls to do it."

Stefan shoved him into a wall shoving a stake onto his chest. I was kind of ok with his death at the moment, but Elena stopped him before he drove it through his heart.

Damon took this opportunity to drive the same stake into Stefan's stomach. I was on him in a second forcing him down to his knees as he held his head in pain. Elena pulled the stake out of Stefan as I grabbed Damon. I siphoned him while dragging him along. I opened the door and shoved him out of it slamming it in his face.

Elijah looked particularly interested at the sudden chaos and stepped back as I went to assess Stefan's well being.

"I'll be back before nightfall, it appears as if my presence isn't needed to assist Elena any longer." Elena nodded him off and he walked out the front door.

I had decided to go with Ric to the Grill. He wanted to check on Damon, and I wanted to follow him to be sure Klaus had really left his body.

Damon was sitting sadly at the bar sipping a glass of Bourbon. Alaric asked for one as well. I resigned myself to a glass of water as I had no money on me.

"I screwed up," Damon spoke suddenly. "Duh," I answered taking a sip of my water. Ric shot me a look then answered himself, "Yeah you did."

A british voice appeared behind us, "Gentlemen, why so glum?"

He looked over at me, "Oh sorry love, I didn't even notice you there."

I rolled my eyes ignoring him. "Klaus, I presume?" Damon asked. "In the flesh," he hit Alaric's back, "Thanks for the loaner mate." Damon stood up angrily, "Why'd you drop in to say hi?"

Klaus glared back at him, "I'm told you and your brother fancy my doppelgänger. I dropped by to remind you not to get in my way."

Damon laughed, "Thanks for the advice. Any chance you feel like postponing til next month? Maybe taking a rain check?" Klaus looked bamboozled, "You're kidding," he looked towards me and Alaric, "He is kidding right?" I shook my head as Alaric answered, "Not really, no."

"I mean what is one month in the grand scheme of things?" Damon spoke drunkenly. "Let me be clear...I have my vampire. I have my werewolf. I have everything I need. The ritual will happen tonight. So if you want to live to see tomorrow, don't screw it up."

"Why are you British?" I mumbled out unable to keep my thoughts to myself.

"Excuse me?" Klaus stammered taken aback. "I mean," Alaric looked at me confused, "You've been alive for like forever and you chose to stick with this accent why?" He looked over at Damon who just shrugged.

"I'm sorry I'm a bit loopy I haven't slept much since you killed my friend." Klaus rolled his eyes. "You can't still be hung up on that can you?"

"Are you being so serious right now?" I asked him, "She died like yesterday." He nodded in acknowledgment, then chose to walk away.

"That was fun," Damon spoke taking a big swig of his drink. "You're gonna fuck it up aren't you?" I asked. He looked over at me, "Do you think if I took the werewolf out of the equation, she'd forgive me?"

"It wouldn't matter you'd be dead." Alaric answered for me. "Oh come on, without a wolf Klaus can't do the ritual. I'll have bought her another month." "And you'll also be dead" I spoke cockily smiling at him as I finished my water. "Are you going to help me or not?" Damon asked. "Nope," I spoke standing up and walking to my car.

I waited til late in the night to drive over to the Salvatore house. I don't know why Id expected Elena to be there, but I felt her loss of comfort before I noticed it. Damon had messed up the plan of course, but Klaus had planned ahead and kidnapped Jules and turned Jenna. "God dammit Damon," I said shoving him out of the way when he told me.

"I know I know, I offered myself but he wouldn't take me," I raised a brow confused. "Tyler bit me." My jaw dropped in shock, Damon was going to die.

Too much was happening and I so was not equipped to deal with it all. John was pissed at Damon actually everyone was pissed at Damon and now Stefan was trying to sacrifice himself.

"I have idea," I spoke up suddenly. "It'll definitely get Jenna out, but you still might die." I said to Stefan. He nodded, "Let's do it."

I watched from the clearing as Stefan approached Klaus. They sped up to the hill and when Klaus turned his back to me I ran toward Elena's ring of fire. I parted it walking inside to talk with her. "What the" I interrupted her holding a finger to my mouth. "I'm going to save Jenna stay calm," I whispered into her ear. She nodded tears in her eyes as she watched me walk to the edge of her ring. I looked over at the witch making sure she wasn't watching as I slowly lowered the part closest to me and exited so I was in front of Jenna. I held a finger to my lips when she saw me before beginning to siphon the magic keeping her fire up. When it finally was smothered, I said one word, "Run." In an instant she was gone, speeding off into the woods. The witch looked over at me shooting off a spell in my direction. I let myself siphon its magic while allowing it to hit me and shot a ball of fire at her. She ducked moving to keep me away from the altar as she continued firing off spells.

I felt arms constructing me before I could blink.

"Oh love, this was a terribly flawed plan." I struggled in Klaus' grasp but I couldn't make contact with his skin so I couldn't siphon him. "I do appreciate the bravery so you know what?" He brought a hand to his mouth, biting it, "You can take her place." With that he shoved his blood into my mouth. I fought against him biting at his hand until I pulled out a chunk of skin. He pulled back and I spit it out.

"Oh a fighter are we?" He inspected his wound before pulling me up once more. "I think I'm going to enjoy this,"

He grabbed my head ready to snap my neck when his witch yelled out, "Wait," He paused looking up at her confused.

"You can't kill her." Klaus looked down at me as if he missed a sign that said 'Don't kill ever.' When he didn't find one he looked back up at the witch. "The witches already don't like this, if you kill her they will kill us all." Klaus rolled his eyes. "Yes I'm sure her ancestors will not be pleased, but I doubt they have much sway. Besides, she'll see them very soon." His eyes grew darker as veins appeared under them. "Klaus you can't! She can't become a vampire." I sighed at the mention of the prophecy. I was never meant to be a real witch. If I became a vampire I could siphon myself, basically making me a normal witch. The ancestors had a big problem with that. Klaus looked at me once more probably wondering why I was sighing at the mention of my ancestors protecting me.

"Go and get the spare, we have to complete the ritual now!" Klaus glared at her but let me go. I took this as an opportunity to shoot him with a fire spell. He put himself out in a flash picking me up by the coat and baring his fangs. I felt a dull thud to my head and everything went black.

Episode POV

Klaus dropped the girl to the floor looking up at Greta she held up the rock she used to hit her. "She's a siphoner, you have to hit her with something that doesn't have magic." Klaus smirked at the witch rushing off and back in a flash with a new vampire he'd tied up in the woods just in case. The new vampire seemed terrified of everything but he wasn't for long. Klaus killed Jules first and then the vampire. When Elena's ring of fire dropped, she looked over Y/N's unconscious body. Everyone was ok. She was going to be ok, and Klaus was going to die. She walked swiftly past him to the altar and waited for him to appear behind her.

"Thank you Elena," Klaus chided.

"Burn in hell." was all she said in response. Klaus bit her soon after draining the blood from her body until she was dead at his feet.

"It's happening, I can feel it." The change was happening, his eyes turned yellow and his fangs grew longer. It wasn't for long though, when Bonnie forced him onto the ground with the strength of 100 witches behind her.

"You were dead!" he screamed out. Bonnie snapped Greta's neck when she attempted to help him. Damon picks up Elena and walks out of the way of Bonnie's path. He decides to wait until it is over to help Y/N as well.

"Elijah," Klaus spoke in disbelief. Elijah stuck his hand into Klaus' chest and began to pull at his heart, "In the name of our family Niklaus."

"I didn't bury them at sea," Klaus speaks swiftly.

"You kill me and you'll never find them,"

Elijah looks confused as he ignores the shouts at him to just end it already. "I'll reunite you with them, I give you my word, brother."

"Do it and I'll take you both out!" Bonnie threatened. "You'll die." "I don't care!"

The Last Dance

After the last scheme, I decided to take a break on helping out Bonnie's gang. She honestly has been so distant ever since Elena got kidnapped. I mean she tried to open the tomb again and didn't even tell me. She hasn't even spoken to me in person in a while. I was kind of mad at all of the gang and their lack of communication unless they needed something, so I gave them a taste of silence and spent all my free time applying for scholarships and completing college entrance essays. I'm not a real Einstein, but I've worked my ass off to get good grades and I will see it pay off. The labors of my work can be seen in the low level history class I entered into this morning. I have taken so many classes between this school and my last one I was forced to chose a class to take once again so my schedule would still balance out.

I chose Alaric's class because I am stupid and also it seemed easy. It got easier when he realized I was a senior and no one gave a fuck about me being in this class. I think he legit gives me As on any assignment I turn in. That was why today was so weird. Ric was late. Not crazy unusual, but not really normal. Then he started acting like he'd never been a teacher in his life. "Hello, class. What are we learning today?"

Dana is a suck up so she answered him.

"um the sixties…" he trailed off listing random shit that happened in the sixties until he started talking about Watergate. "Watergate was in the seventies Ric" Elena interrupted him before correcting his name.

Actually now that I think about it, it is weird we talk to our teacher outside of school. I mean he's like 40 and we're 18ish.

"Yeah that's right. I get the two mixed up in here," he pointed to his head. "Thank you Elena." No I don't like this. Did he do a line of coke before this class? That sounded so weird. Why'd he say her name like that?

I packed up my bag and stood walking out the door. I ignored Ric's questions and simply walked to the Library to chill until my next class. I'll figure out his deal later I do not have the energy right now.

I didn't see the Bonnie gang again til late after school. Bonnie texted me that we were studying with Ric for a test at the Salvatore house, so I drove there straight away. Perhaps, it was my fault for storming out earlier.

I walked in to see them all scheming away. I dropped my things dramatically, causing Ric to startle.

"Bonnie you have got to stop pretending you wanna hang out with me if you just want me to be part of your schemes." I threw myself down on the couch dramatically and Bonnie rolled her eyes. "I know but you haven't been answering when I ask you to come help us."

"Did you ever think that might've been deliberate?" I peaked an eye open.

"Gosh storming out of history, draping yourself on the sofa, you're more dramatic than ever." Damon commented.

"Shut up before I torture you again." I grumbled. Ric raised his brows.

"Not like that." Damon tried to tell him. "I mean those were your words not mine." I said holding my hands up in surrender. He sighed rolling his eyes at my teasing and I laughed.

"Anyway, what the hell help am I? I can't do shit unless you need someone kind of incapacitated."

"We might genius." Damon spat. I shot him a look and he shut up.

"If I can't kill him, you might be able to weaken him so I can." Bonnie explained.

"So you're gonna zap him and if that doesn't work I have to go up to the evil vampire and try to touch him?”

"Yep." Bonnie said smiling .

"Oh I wasn't agreeing I was trying to point out in this plan someone is going to die, namely me or you." I pointed toward Bonnie.

"That's true," Ric agreed, "I mean he's the biggest baddest vampire around." he laughed at seemingly his own joke.

"Why are you being so weird today Ric?" I asked. He looked at me like he was concerned. "He's not weird you're just a bitch." Damon spoke sarcastically.

At this Bonnie slammed him across the room.

"Well I am impressed." Stefan said. I clapped softly nudging Bonnie with my shoulder in thanks.

"I can kill him Elena. I know I can"

"I can't find a single thing to wear that isn't fucking ugly." I whined on the phone with Caroline. She and I had gotten closer since I helped save her from werewolves. She honestly seemed like the most normal one in the group.

"I'm sure it's not that bad." she tried to reason with me. "I can't stand anything I have, I'm wearing jeans, I don't care anymore."

"Absolutely not that is unacceptable, I worked my ass off on this dance. Just figure it out please please please. I love you." She hung up, probably to leave. I needed to as well, the dance was set to start in thirty minutes.

I grabbed a random dress, which vaguely matched the theme, opting to do nothing else in protest of Caroline's monarchy rule over dances. I slipped on a decently level pair of boots since I knew I was probably going to be running tonight, or at least dancing if Klaus wasn't there.

When I arrived at the dance Elena was dancing with Stefan. He rushed off to tell Caroline something and was replaced by Damon. The two started dancing and I could swear I saw some chemistry. So, I decided to stay away from the Salvatore love triangle and go talk to Ric. Maybe he could tell me why he was being so weird today.

"What's up?" I asked as I grabbed a cookie from the snack table. "Uh well Klaus made a song request that was pretty weird."

"What song?" I asked in between bites. He furrowed his brows. "Why does that matter?" I shrugged, "I just can't think of any 60s songs that involve threatening murder."

He laughed at my odd take and mumbled out a random name of the song Klaus played. "Well in hindsight I guess I don't listen to a lot of 60s music." I took a final bite of my cookie in time to see Caroline waving me over to her. "Oh god she's gonna kill me for not dressing up." Ric raised a brow. "Caroline's always so fucking particular about these dances but I think just this dress is pretty enough right?" He looked me over and smiled, "Yes you look pretty, Y/N" I nodded awkwardly. "Alright thanks Ric," I patted him on the arm barely grazing a bit of his skin.

Normally I wouldn't even notice, because Ric is human, but this time I felt myself siphon a bit of magic. He jumped a bit rubbing where my hand had been, "Ah you shocked me, that hurt." I nodded and smiled awkwardly then walked toward Caroline trying to seem casual. She had her hands on her hips as she stared me down like an angry mother. "I know that you are upset with me, but aren't there more important things to worry about?" Caroline crossed her arms, "Like what?" she spoke slightly sarcastically trying to ease some tension. I laughed then looked back to where Ric was still standing looking toward Elena.

"Like how Ric has been weird all day," I started and she rolled her eyes. "No seriously, like first off he can't teach history suddenly. Then he went all goo goo for Klaus in the scheme meeting. And just now when I touched him I swear I felt magic on him."

Caroline contemplated. "Maybe he's been compelled."

"But why would I be able to siphon him then?" Caroline thought a second more before looking up to see Alaric talking with Elena and Bonnie. "Hey he looks like he's telling them something bad." I looked over to see the two of them rush out the doors after Alaric. "Why'd he only tell them?" I asked aloud and Caroline shrugged. "I'm gonna see if they need backup" I told her before running out after them. "Good luck," she said going back to dancing with Matt.

"I much prefer the 20s" I heard Ric say as I rounded the corner, happening upon Elena and Bonnie. "What the fuck are you guys talking about?" I asked as I got close enough touch them.

Elena ignored my interruption, "Alaric are you on vervain?" Ric smiled evily, "Why would you ask me that Elena?"

"What a dumb question." I mumbled out towards him. I thought a second more before pushing Elena behind me and grabbing Bonnie's hand. I wasn't going to siphon her if I didn't need to, but two witches are better than one.

"Y/N what the hell?" Elena questioned from behind me. Alaric seemed to cheer up at my sudden realization. "Elena, go get Damon," I told her. Bonnie looked at me confused but continued to let me hold her hand. "What why?" Elena stuttered out.

Ric smirked at the situation we found ourselves in.

"That's not Ric."

I couldn't see Elena, but I could imagine the shock on her face as Ric started laughing. "Oh I knew you were a smart one. I thought you were onto me this morning when you got up and walked out, but you actually gave me some grace. I appreaciate it, it helped to continue my plan."

Elena got in front of me and Bonnie. I tried to shove her aside but she fought me.

"Oh calm down Elena, you're not on my hit list," he paused "tonight." He turned toward Bonnie, "But you are."

Bonnie threw him against the wall, he got up laughing. "Did I mention I know a witch? You're going to have to hit me a lot harder than that." She did, smashing a trophy case with the force of her spell. "Fire Away by all means," Klaus baited her. "Bonnie stop it." I tried to reason but she kept on throwing him around. I followed her into the cafeteria trying to figure out a way to get her to stop fighting him so I could lift the protection spell Klaus had put on him.

"Kill this body and I'll jump into another one, maybe Jeremy!"

She threw him extremely hard after that.

"Elena, Y/N Go!"

Elena ran out of the doors but I tried to stay with Bonnie.

"Bonnie this is not a good idea, let me help you." Bonnie turned toward me with frustration on her face. "Go now before I make you." I furrowed my brows confused, taking a step toward her. She lifted a hand up throwing me out of the doors. I hit the floor hard just in time to see Damon arrive with Elena.

"What the hell is going on?" He asked helping me up. "Klaus is possessing Alaric's body" I mumbled, reached toward the back of my head. I was bleeding, "Son of a bitch, Bonnie." Damon noticed the blood and looked towards Elena who nodded at him. At her allowance, Damon bit into his wrist shoving it into my mouth before I could ask what the fuck he was doing. I shoved his arm back wiping the blood from my lips. I pushed myself up trying to ignore the tingling of my head healing by itself.

"You're welcome," Damon muttered lifting himself back up. I went to the doors trying to open them only to find them blocked by a boundary spell. I started to siphon the magic of it away. I was almost done when Bonnie threw a chain at the door which wrapped around itself and locked the handles.

I began trying to undo the chains but Damon came up behind me, dragging me away from the door. "What the hell are you doing?" Stefan asked suddenly appearing.

"Bonnie's doing what she has to do." Damon replied. I struggled hard against him forcing him have to lift me up into his chest so I couldn't pull away.

The carnage continued to unfold inside the cafeteria and I heard Elena fiddle with the doors. She suddenly screamed out, "Bonnie no" and I stopped fighting Damon and started to siphon him instead. He grunted falling to his knees as he tried to keep a grip on me despite his agony. Stefan abandoned his spot watching Elena to try and help Damon. When he made contact with me I grabbed his wrist pulling him down and siphoning him as well.

Despite their grunting, they still managed to keep a tight grip on me. I was nearly out when the chains fell off the door and Elena pushed it open screaming for Bonnie.

I let go of the brothers and ran in after her.

Bonnie was lying on the ground. Her nose was bleeding and her body was bent in a strange way. I noticed she wasn't breathing. I grabbed her face sobbing at the sudden coldness of it.

"Stefan! Stefan do something! Give her blood or something we have to help her!" Elena pleaded as I tried to find a pulse. The room had become a blur due to the tears in my eyes.

"I'm sorry Elena, it's too late." Elena broke down sobbing as she clutched Bonnie's body. I felt my own body shake as I continued to hyperventilate. Bonnie was dead. Klaus had killed her forcing her to use magic she couldn't handle. Why didn't she just let me help her?

I closed my eyes feeling the tears fall faster as I thought of different ways I could have prevented this.

"Stefan get them out of here, I'll deal with the body." Damon spoke emotionless.

"What?" Elena spoke, her voice broken.

"The sheriff's going to get suspicious if there's another mysterious death, we have to get rid of the evidence."

"No no no this Bonnie. Damon this is Bonnie." Elena sobbed, her hands clutching onto the fabric of Bonnie's dress.

Stefan helped her to stand while I sat motionless. Staring at the tears I had accidentally gotten onto Bonnie's face. "Hey, Blair Witch, you've got to get going too," he grabbed my shoulder but I didn't suppress my siphoning. He groaned at the contact pulling back his hand, but I caught it and continued to siphon away his magic. "You stopped me from helping her." I spat at him. He was back on his knees and his eyes lit with fear as he failed get his wrist out of my grasp.

"No I didn't Bonnie did." he grunted through his pain. "She didn't know what she was doing, she needed me and you stopped me from helping her." I used some of the magic I had to start frying his brain, boiling the blood inside of his body. He continued to struggle away from me, but I didn't budge. Stefan came up behind me but I simply began boiling his brain as well. He fell to his knees in pain and I put a hand on his forehead, then began taking the magic keeping him alive as well. I only paused when Elena grabbed my face. I looked towards her seeing the tears that fell down her cheeks. She didn't say anything but she did all the same. I dropped both of the boys and walked out of the cafeteria. I got in my car and drove home immediately, ignoring calls I got from Caroline wondering what was going on.

I laid in my bed as soon as I entered my room. I had barely managed the energy to take of my boots and had none left to spare when it came to changing out of my dress. So, I chose simply to lay down staring blankly at the wall and let my pillow absorb the tears that silently fell from my eyes.

I heard my phone ringing but I ignored it. Nothing else was inportant right now, not when Damon was out there burying Bonnie's body in some shallow grave. Bonnie, my first friend here, the only person who seemed to think I wasn't strange for being a siphoner. Bonnie was dead and I felt like dying with her. I couldn't kill myself though. I had vampire blood in me. It would be for nothing if I died just to come back and live forever. Instead, I cried myself to sleep.

I woke up to banging at my door, and wondered if my dad was finally home and in a shitty mood. I slipped on my winter coat just in case and grabbed a pair of gloves that I shoved into the pockets. I ran downstairs opening the door, to find Elena standing there. She looked far too happy and I began to consider killing her for moving on so quickly. She pulled me into a hug and walked inside. I followed numbly as she pulled me up the stairs and picked out an outfit for me. I looked to the window. It was either very early or very late. I looked back at her as she motioned toward the clothes and then exited my room. I slowly pulled the clothes onto my body discarding my dress and jacket onto the floor in a heap.

I opened my door to let her back in and she smiled at me once more. She sat down on my bed and moved to let me do the same. When I did, she finally spoke. "Bonnie isn't dead."

By the light of the moon

I was beginning to sense a pattern with my new friends. Elena called me asking if I could come over to her house. It was only a couple blocks from mine so I walked to save gas. When I arrived I was rather pissed to find out she wanted me to undo her boundary spell.

"I mean yeah I could take it off," I stated. Her eyes lit up in joy. "Please, Please I need to get out of here. Klaus is gonna come any day I can't risk people getting hurt."

I looked at her slightly disapprovingly, "See when you talk like that I suddenly understand the spell." She let out a sigh of frustration, "Why will no one let me do what I have to? I don't wanna be treated like a child."

"I'm not treating you like a kid, I'm making a clear assumption, that you are not okay to be left alone outside when you are very eager to find a man who wants to kill you." I pause entering the house. "It's not because people want to baby you Elena, we don't want you to die." She looked up at me like she couldn't find words.

"Now," I grabbed her arm and linked it with mine. "I believe I was invited to hangout at your house so what do you say we do it huh?" She smiled at my optimism and lead me up to her room.

Hours of hanging out passed before Jenna came home. Elena introduced me and I thought it was safe to say she liked me. She went to grab some boxes, and I felt Elena stiffen beside me. I turned only to see Elijah standing inside Elena's house. Oh shit, how the fuck did he get in?

Oh lord I'm gonna have offer up my house to Elena and her family now. It's gonna be like Charlie and Chocolate Factory with all those people and only two beds. "Oh this is Elijah, he's doing research on mystic falls and wanted to borrow some things. Did you want me to take those to your car?"

"Oh no it's okay I'll come back for them later."

He says goodbye to Jenna and shakes Elena's hand. He then reaches for mine, but I shake my head "That's a bad idea man." He looks pretty confused at my phrasing but left out the front door. Elena rushed up the stairs and I was left scrambling to follow her. I didn't even notice Elijah was back in the house until I made it to the top step and found him there with Elena telling her to be quiet. "Oh mother fucker." I mumbled to myself and they both looked at me. I look to Elena as a question of whether or not I should help but she just shakes her head. I watched Jeremy walk down the stairs to go see Jenna. Elena grabs me and pulls me into her room.

"Ow! Elena what the fuck?"

"You curse quite a lot," I heard Elijah say and turned to find him inside her room as well. "Do you always or just around me?"

"It's a habit I'm developing the longer I get dragged into supernatural shit."

Elena cringed guiltily next to me. "You want me lift the boundary thing now so you can run?" She shook her head, "What good would that do?"

I shrug, "Never hurts to try" Elijah clears his throat and the two of us turned to him.

"I would like to make a deal with you, to keep your friends and family safe."

Elena scrunched her brows in confusion, "How?"

Elijah explained that if she just didn't get herself killed, he would protect everyone she cared about. He wanted to lure Klaus out and her presence would be enough to do it.

She seemed to contemplate this and in the silence I found myself looking over at Elijah. He was staring at me already which caused me to awkwardly nod at him before looking away. "One more condition" Elena responded. "Let Stefan out of the tomb. I don't care about Katherine but Stefan didn't do anything."

"Since when is Stefan in the tomb?" I asked confused. "Since like last week," Elena responded. "Oh so that's why I haven’t seen him at school." I spoke out loud. "Bonnie couldn't do the spell by herself," she looked at me sort of expectantly. "Well I'm not really helpful unless I have a power source so" Elijah looked confused but decided to move on. "Your wish is granted, now do we have a deal?" He held out his hand, "We do" Elena shook it. He went to shake mine as well, "Why would shake my hand, I'm not doing shit?" he smiled at this. "Just instinct I suppose, you're rather interesting Ms.?" "Y/N" I replied. He repeated my name then disappeared from the room.

"Ok, now that Buzzkill is gone, do you want me to let the barrier down so we can go out?" Elena smiled at the suggestion.

Daddy Issues

I thought Stefan was the reasonable brother of the Salvatores, but it turns out he is just as dumb and reckless as Damon when push comes to shove.

Caroline was kidnapped by some werewolf lady named Jules and we had to try and reason with her. I was back up because I can siphon wolves. Stefan and Damon figured I was a good bet for taking them down if it came to that. I also am pretty sure Bonnie said no and I was their second option.

Of course it immeadietly went wrong. Jules wouldn't see reason and suddenly we were surrounded by her wolf gang.

They attacked Stefan and Damon instantly and I watched as they fought them off swiftly. I was tackled to the ground by a different one. He held my throat decently tight as I grabbed at his. He didn't seem to notice I was siphoning him until it was a little late. I felt his hand go slack before he passed out. I got up, snapping a different wolf's neck and slamming another one onto the ground near me. I grabbed her arm and started to siphon as I picked off those that started coming towards Stefan and Damon. They couldn't get out I knew that, but it was hard to tell what the fuck was happening when they kept speeding around. "What the fuck is Tyler doing?" I asked quietly to myself. He was supposed to be getting Caroline while we distracted the wolves. I got my answer when Jules came out pointing a gun at Caroline. Stefan and Damon stopped fighting and in an instant people were in front of them holding stakes. "Hey you!"

Jules yelled towards me, "Quit with your magic shit. You're outnumbered."

"I don't know I really like my odds." I replied, people started falling around us and I began to wonder if that crazy prophecy was true about me before another witch appeared in the clearing. "Elijah sent me, you are important to Elena so you shall not be harmed. Now get on your way." He knocks Jules out and turns to Tyler. "Tell your friends to get out of town."

Stefan went over to help Caroline as I looked back at the witch. He seemed confused by the attention but I shot him a thumbs up. He didn't show it, but I chose to believe it made his day better.

Rose

Elena had been kidnapped. That was all Bonnie told me before she pulled up outside my classroom in the middle of an assignment.

She pulled us to Alaric’s classroom where Stefan and Damon were waiting worriedly with Jeremy. I'd met the brothers the night before but I still felt awkward as I stood by them while Bonnie set up a map.

"Ok all we need is Jeremy's blood," Bonnie stated simply. Jeremy went to cut his hand but paused. "Bonnie are you sure you can do this right now?" I looked toward Bonnie confused. Bonnie defensively shook her head at Jeremy but I decided to step in. "I can do it for you if you want?" Bonnie looked at me a bit surprised, "No it's ok, you know how that'll go."

"I think it's a good idea," Damon spoke suddenly. I was about to put him on my friends list before he finished his thought, "We can't have you messing up the spell and getting the wrong location." He gave Bonnie a pointed look. Bonnie glared back at him and moved to do the spell, but I took a step toward her. "No it's fine Bon, I'll do it and Damon can help me." I smiled at her and she seemed a bit nervous but nodded nonetheless. Damon looked at me confused but stood near my spot behind Alaric’s desk. I signaled to Jeremy to cut his hand and I watched his blood flow onto the map.

I quickly grabbed Damon's wrist and siphoned him as I did the spell to find Elena. My eyes were closed, but I heard him grunt and struggle at my siphoning. I let go when the spell was complete and opened my eyes to find him on his knees clutching his wrist.

He looked a bit scared of me but I just shrugged. "If you wanted the pain free way you should've let Bonnie do it." I looked over at Bonnie who was smirking slightly at the shook looking Damon. He looked at both of us quickly before turning his attention back to the map.

After I tracked Elena, Bonnie told me to go home, because school was over by then. I can’t believe I missed the last ten minutes of class to do a spell. Maybe life does get better. Bonnie said she thought it wasn't fair to drag me into shenanigans that were none of my business, and as much as I was saddened at Elena's kidnapping, I agreed with her.

I wanted to be friends with Bonnie, but I did not enjoy how the vampires were treating her. Maybe this was an off week for them, but it kind of felt like they always forced her to find a solution to the problems they created. I didn't hear from Bonnie until the end of the day. She sent a simple text "Elena's back and safe. Thank you for helping."

I asked if she was ok, but she didn't respond

The Sacrifice

Bonnie hadn't talked to me in days, so I was surprised when someone called me in the middle of my homework. "Hello?" I answered. "Hey, it's Elena. Do you mind if I ask you to do me a huge favor?"

I should've said no because this was ridiculous.

Elena, Rose, and I all came to some vampire named Slater's apartment to talk with him, only to find him staked and dead on the floor. His girlfriend was hysterical, and I felt bad for her until she agreed to help Elena open his computer, only on the basis Rose turned her after. Who the hell wants to be a vampire so bad they betray their dead boyfriend?

"What are you doing?" I heard Rose ask Elena. "Sending a message out. I'm telling Klaus I'm alive and I'm right here for him to come and get."

I turned around in shock, Elena had explained Klaus’ lore in the car. "You did what?" I reached for the computer but Elena moved it out of my reach. "I can't risk him hurting anyone I care about. It's better he gets me now then later." I rolled my eyes at the thought. Why would she tell the evil vampire where she is ever? More importantly, why would she do that when me and Rose are here too? Rose began arguing with Elena. While she was distracted I snitched her phone and walked into a room farther away. Damon's number was one of the most called so I just hit redial. It rang once before Damon picked up. "Elena did something again." I told him Slater's address, "Who the hell is this?" he sounded offended. "Y/N, I'm Bonnie's friend. I've helped you save Elena twice and I barely know you." He hummed in understanding, "Yea you're the torture witch from the other day. I'm on the way don't let Elena die please."

"I'll try but she's kind of in a self sacrificing mood." I said looking back toward the living room.

"She's always like that don't worry."

Damon arrived about 20 minutes later and by then Elena had still not snapped out of it. Damon was about ten seconds from dragging her kicking and screaming home when a knock was heard on the door. Rose looked to Damon who nodded at the door as a sign to open it. She did, and a man walked in with two backup guys.

"I got message about contacting Klaus?"

"Yes that was from me come in" Elena answered. Damon started cursing her out as I sent her a confused look from across the room. As the men entered the room I saw Damon look toward me. Great I'm on fighting duty, that's fun. Is this gonna be a new normal for me? The lead guy stepped toward me but seemed to sense my distaste for him and backed up. This was an unfortunate decision for him as his heart was then removed from his body.

He fell forward and I was able to see his killer standing behind him. Rose immeadietly left. I didn't know who he was but Damon seemed to.

"I killed you, you were dead."

The man looked at him contemplatively, "For centuries now."

He looked towards the two other goons who looked as confused as me. "Who are you?"

"I'm Elijah" he answered. I understood almost nothing still but the goons started trying to convince him they were getting Elena for him. "Does anyone know you're here?" Elijah asked. They shook they're heads feverishly. "Then you have been a great help," he said before ripping both of their hearts out.

"Jesus Christ." I mumbled and he looked towards me. I shot my hands and pointed towards Elena. He looked over at Damon and Elena then sped off.

"What the actual fuck?" I asked rhetorically.

Damon explained the lore of Elijah more in depth on the ride home. I made a mental note not to help Elena ever again once her and Damon began bickering like a married couple all the way to my house.

Damon examined my driveway, "Are your parents even home?" he asked.

Masquerade

I hated everything about this dress but it was the only one of my step mom's that fit me. Her and my dad were gone, for however long they were going to be gone, so I was forced to look for fancy clothes in her closet instead of buying some. I really needed to get a job.

Bonnie had specified it was a masquerade, but I really couldn't care less about a mask. I was fancy enough in this hideous expensive thing. Also, I didn't even think I was going to be in the ball. We were just casting a spell and making sure Katherine died. Who cares if people see my face?

I heard Bonnie's car pull up right as I put my left heel on and I basically bolted down the stairs.

She greeted me with a smile that dropped a bit at the sight of my dress. "I know it's a mess, but it's all I've got." I told her. She shook her head defensively, but I laughed her off. "It's ok it's not even mine. Now let's go kick some vampire ass." At this her smile grew once more and she headed toward the ball.

Everything had gone wrong almost immediately. Poor Elena, the lovely doppelgänger I had just met was currently bleeding out on a picnic table while I tried to see if I could spot anyone witchy looking. I knew it was dumb but I didn't really have any magic to help, I was only here in case something like this happened. If another witch was involved, I could definitely help.

Bonnie had taken some of Elena's pain away in time for Jeremy to return to put pressure on her wounds. Bonnie and I decided to search for Katherine's witch together.

I followed Bonnie as she seemed to be in a daze before she finally landed in front of a girl who looked very bummed to be at the ball. "You," Bonnie said, clearly upset. The witch raised her brows. "You did this, you're working with Katherine." I let my feet settle behind her ready to step in if the witch put up a fight.

"I should've known I'd run into a Bennett" she spoke.

"Who are you?" Bonnie asked.

"Lucy. Look I have no interest in fighting you,"

"Then stop the spell you put on my friend." Bonnie replied.

"Give Katherine the moonstone and I will."

"You're not leaving this room until you stop the spell." Bonnie spoke clearly.

"I don't want to hurt you," the witch said looking over at me cockily. "We don't wanna hurt you." I spoke up trying to match Bonnie's energy.

Lucy grimaced, "I don't have a choice. The bitch saved my life so I have to pay up."

She went to leave when Bonnie grabbed her arm. The lights began to flicker a bit and Bonnie let go.

The witch looked at Bonnie wildly, "The stone you have it." I furrowed my brows confused by the change of topic.

She grabbed Bonnie's arms and flickering began again tenfold. "See you can trust me. Give me the moonstone." Bonnie looked frightened so I grabbed Lucy's arm letting myself steal a bit of her magic. She flinched back from me and I let go standing back behind Bonnie once more. "A siphoner, you should know better than to mess with her kind." she breathed holding her wrist.

Bonnie looked back at me apologetically, then reached into her pocket and grabbed the moonstone. "Bonnie what?" I questioned but she had already handed it over. Lucy smiled, "Do you mind undoing the boundary spell upstairs, I promise I have a plan." Bonnie got quiet for a moment and then nodded toward Lucy who made her way up to Katherine.

"Bonnie what the fuck?" I asked as she walked away.

"I know it's crazy but I swear I know I can trust her." Bonnie tried to reason.

"But how do you know?" I tried to understand.

"I just do ok? Maybe it's because I have a better connection to the ancestors than you do." she spat. I bit my lip and her scowl dropped in an instant. "I'm sorry I didn't mean that. I can't even imagine not being connected to any ancestors. It sounds awful."

I smiled half heartedly at her try at sympathizing.

"Also, don't take what she said to heart. She doesn't even know you." I smiled at this, "Don't worry I've been called worse things before." I linked our arms and walked us outside to Elena and Jeremy.

When we arrived, I reached over to Elena and used the little magic I had to heal the worst of her wounds. "I think it's gone." she mumbled as the last of the wounds began closing and I moved my arm away. Bonnie had tears of joy in her eyes and gave Elena a hug before she turned to me. "I wanna go check in with Lucy really quick, so can you wait just a minute for me to drive you home?" I nodded smiling at her kindness. She smiled back at me before walking back to the entrance of the ball. Jeremy kissed Elena's head before going to check on the Katherine situation upstairs. I awkwardly stood with Elena until she finally began to talk. "Thanks for healing me by the way," I glanced back at her. "You're welcome."

"So you're a witch, like Bonnie?" I smiled a bit "I am a witch just not like Bonnie." She tilted her head at this. "I'm a siphoner, I'm a witch just without a battery. I need someone else's magic to use my powers" Elena nodded trying to be supportive, but I could tell she was scared.

Fair warning, this is a bit cringe because I didn’t edit it. I swear that the rest is not this bad (that I’ve written) I have like 5 more chapters so if you like this tell me and I’ll post them

Pre Masquerade

I had known Bonnie Bennett for about three days before she asked me for a favor.

I can recall our first meeting like it was yesterday, because it almost was.

I watched at she lit a man on fire temporarily before walking away in a fury. I followed silently wanting to provide support but not get on her bad side. She had to have known I was there all along but she waited until we reached a carnival game to turn around and yell at me. "Why the fuck are you following me?" My mouth was held agape as I did not suddenly have any words to explain myself.

She turned to walk off, "Wait," I squeaked out following her. She continued walking until the parking lot when I finally said, "I saw you with the fire." She turned around in a fury, "You wanna see more fire, keep talking to me."

"No you don't understand," she cut me off by lighting a circle of fire around me. I siphoned the fire into smoke and that finally caught her attention. She paused at my sudden magic as if it hadn't occurred to her I could be witch. I'd only moved to Mystic Falls at the beginning of the semester. I was a Senior this year so it made sense she would not associate any real identity with me. She had her own things to worry about.

"I wanna be friends with you." I managed to say. "You're a witch?" She asked still slightly shocked. "Yes, I am, but I should also warn you that I am a siphoner." She tilted her head in confusion.

"Do you mind meeting me at the Grill? I'll tell you everything you wanna know." She let herself smile slightly then nodded.

At the Grill I explained the history of Siphoners, and how my history differed. All siphoners were from the Gemini coven except for me.

"I was cursed as a baby," I told her to her surprise. I couldn't blame her, most people don't think about cursing babies but some bitch in the afterlife had felt like cursing me. She deigned herself the ultimate wisdom on my future and decided I would be too powerful as a normal witch. This was crazy but also a little fair to her credit. My parents are both witches, and I am the eldest in my family, so I might have been crazy powerful if I was normal.

She was going to just kill me but she had been a mother in her life and just decided to kind of maim me in a way. That way I could never be too powerful, but I was still alive.

Bonnie listened to me talk until the Grill kicked us out and then made me give her my number so we could keep in contact.

She didn't call me after that. I texted her once to see how she was, but she never replied. I assumed she was yet another witch put off by my oddness and continued on with my life. It wasn't until after school one day that she tracked me down on my way to the parking lot. Particularly, right next to the stoner alley.

"Hey!" I turned around preparing to be propositioned with drugs, but was pleased to see a familiar face. Bonnie came running up to me. "Hey, do you mind helping me and my friends kill this evil vampire?" she asked with a smile.
