I smile amused, as I see Rebekah and Klaus throw Finn into the house, both of them looking like badasses. They headed down to Chicago or some place to snatch him up. They need him for something, I don't know what. Nor do I really care at the moment.
"Gather your witch. Let's get his blood and get on with it." Rebekah sighs, casting a bored look at Finn. Oh yeah, they want to unlink themselves. I kind of want them unlinked too. I don't like people having an advantage over them.
"You can't force me to help you." Finn glares.
"No, I most likely could. But why force, when I can persuade." Klaus smirks, gesturing up the stairs. Sage, the red head Damon saw the other day, comes into view on the steps. Klaus explained to me that Sage and Finn are in love or something.
I walk down the rest of the steps, walking over to Klaus and Rebekah. I don't want to get in the way of Finn and Sage's moment. That would kind of ruin it. Like if they were running towards each other in happiness, ready to make out, and I'm just staring in the middle like, 'I'm gonna ruin your 500 year awaited reunion bitches.'
"Hello Finn." Sage smiles slightly, looking at a shocked Finn.
"Sage." he breathes out, jumping up to his feet. He hurries over to the stairs, Sage practically tackling him with a hug. They both have sappy smiles on there faces.
"Well, what do you know, true love prevails." Rebekah rolls her eyes.
Klaus looks down at his phone, not looking at Rebekah as he answers. "It does have it uses. Easier than torturing him." Klaus smirks, replying to whoever it was before putting it away.
"I have something I need to do today. What do you need from me for this spell?" Rebekah asks, a cruel glint in her eyes. Jeez, looks like someone pissed her off.
"Just your blood and your blessing. Where are you going?" he questions.
"I have some unfinished business with Damon Salvatore." she growls, casting a look at me. "Ask Sage what he did to me. Then you'll understand why retribution is in order." Shit...of course Damon did something stupid to piss of Bekah. He's an idiot these days.
"Bekah, what are you going to do to him?" I frown, praying that she won't kill him.
"Torture him, make him pay for lying to me. You could help." she shrugs.
"I don't want to help." I sigh.
"Are you sure? This is your chance to hurt him. To make him feel pain. He broke your heart, he lied to you about kissing Elena. Don't you want a little revenge?" Rebekah purrs, taking a few steps towards me, while I take a few steps back.
"I don't want any part of what you're going to do Rebekah." I insist, glancing over at Klaus to see him watching me. I give him a look telling him to help me but he just ignores it. He wants me to hurt Damon doesn't he? "Back away from me Rebekah, I'm not going to help you."
"I could make you help me." she threatens.
"Compel me? Really?" I demand, glaring at her.
"Enough Rebekah, Aria is helping me out with the witch today. You can torture someone by yourself, can't you?" Klaus finally joins, giving Rebekah a hard look.
Rebekah takes a few steps away from me, glaring at me. I glare right back, wondering what the hell her problem is?
==================
Klaus appears in front of me, blocking the front door. I give him a weird look, "What?"
"Where have you been?" he sighs.
"I've been out." I reply, narrowing my eyes at him. I've been out killing people and buying new clothes. I needed a little break from the Originals for awhile.
"Well, why you have been out, I retrieved the witch. She's upstairs." Klaus explains.
"Bonnie willingly came here to help?" I frown.
Klaus rolls his eyes, "Of course not, I threatened little Jeremy, and her mother. She needs to do that spell." Klaus adds when he sees me glaring at him for threatening my brother.
"I know, but did you have to threaten my little brother?" I grumble.
"Yes, Bonnie is very fond of your brother." he smirks.
"Thanks for that image." I deadpan.
"Oh, also, Rebekah is in the living room torturing Damon Salvatore." Klaus adds, like that shit happens all the time in the fucking living room.
"Wonderful." I sigh, pushing past him and into the house. I wince slightly, when I hear Damon's groans of pain from the living room. I take a few steps, not liking the sight in front of me. Damon is strung up, Rebekah has bear traps on his hands. That can not be comfortable. It looks like it hurts like hell. She is also cutting him with a knife, probably trying to bleed the vervain out of his system.
"Well, look what you caught." I comment, walking into the living room. Rebekah looks back at me, raising her eyebrows. Damon looks up at me like I'm going to help him or something. Rebekah is right, he does deserve to feel pain. "You're trying to bleed him of vervain right? Don't you think it would be easier to hang him upside down." I suggest.
"I'm perfectly capable of inflicting pain, thank you very much." Rebekah says, giving me a look saying I could have helped if I wanted to.
I roll my eyes, "Excuse me, I forgot I'm not a big, bad Original."
"Why don't you just leave me be Aria? You should go upstairs and help my brother manage the witch. You did chose to do that instead." Rebekah points out.
I laugh a little, holding out my hand for the blade. "Just let me do one thing grumpy."
She sighs, placing the blade down on my hand. I glare at her as she puts it face down, cutting my hand. She gives me a innocent smile, shrugging her shoulders.
I walk up to Damon, flipping the blade around in my hand. "Do you know how I felt when you kissed Elena?"
"Not very good, I'm guessing." he replies, his eyes wary.
"That's a good guess." I nod before taking the blade and stabbing it right next to his heart. He gasps, his eyes going wide with pain. I lean in, whispering in his ear, "That's not even half of what I felt."
I pull away from him, leaving the blade in his chest. I turn back towards Rebekah, giving her a smirk. "Now you may carry on." I saunter away from them, heading upstairs. That felt pretty good.
I walk into the upstairs living room, seeing Klaus hover over Bonnie. Bonnie hears me coming in, her eyes snapping to me. She stands up, a menacing glare on her face. I eye her cautiously not knowing what she's going to do. I did kill her mother after all.
"Are you going to try and kill me or something?" I ask, not liking how she's just glaring at me.
"No, I know I wouldn't get very far before your boyfriend here killed me." she answers, her teeth clenched.
"How's your mommy doing? Being a vampire is good for some people, but for others...it's not so fun." I smirk, trying to bait her now. She's right. Klaus wouldn't let her hurt me so I'm not afraid of Bonnie at the moment.
"I don't know, she ran." Bonnie replies stiffly.
"Aw, she ran away. She probably wanted to kill people without your daughterly eyes watching her. It would be a little awkward to see your mother rip someones throat out." I shrug, a smile on my face.
Bonnie closes her eyes for a second, "Shut up."
"You know me Bonnie, I can never shut up." I say, taking a few steps closer to her. "Just know, if you don't help Klaus, I will make you regret it Bon Bon. Not anyone else, just you. You'll wish that I hurt your mom or Jeremy by the time I'm done with you." I growl.
Bonnie looks at me shocked, "You know he's threatening Jeremy and you're okay with it?"
"I don't care about him anymore Bonnie. He's just annoying. I don't like having to act like I care about him. I would snap his neck myself to make you unlink them." I lie, hoping she can't see through me. Bonnie has to believe I'll do it. She needs to help them.
"You're a monster." she whispers, tears in her eyes.
"Yeah, I've been told." I sigh, "Now do the spell please, you insulting me is getting kind of boring."
"I've already told your boyfriend. I'm not strong enough to do this spell." Bonnie growls.
"Bullshit. You're pretty damn strong Bonnie, I don't think there's much you can't do." I smirk.
"I can't do this!" she yells, looking between us.
"Very well." Klaus sighs, pulling out his phone. He dials a number, bring the phone to his ear. "Kol...how's the weather up there in mile high city?" Mile high city, that's Denver...shit.
"It's horrendous." Kol replies, sounding bored.
"And how's our friend?" Klaus grins, obviously referring to Jeremy. He really sent Kol there...ugh.
"As good as a pathetic human like him can get." Kol says, making me smile slightly. Kol always has so much sass.
"Can I see him?" Klaus walks back over to Bonnie, showing Bonnie the FaceTime screen. "That's Jeremy, playing fetch with his new puppy. Isn't that just the most adorable thing you've ever seen?" Klaus whispers in her ear, as she watches Jeremy play with his dog on the screen. Klaus puts the phone back up to his ear, "Thank you Kol, we'll be in touch." Klaus turns back around, a smug look in his eyes. "So Bonnie, how about that spell?" he smirks.
================
I jump startled when I hear Damon's screams of pain coming from downstairs. I shut my eyes for a second, telling myself that I don't care. I don't care...I don't care anymore...
"What was that?" Bonnie demands, looking at Klaus and I fearfully.
"Oh don't let it bother you love." Klaus shrugs, casting an amused glance out the door.
"Well it does bother me. You and Aria bother me. The way you use people to get what you want, it's not right." Bonnie seethes, giving us a menacing glare. I take a step forward, ready to eat her, but Klaus holds a hand out stopping me.
"You're emotional Bonnie. I understand that things have been rough for you. You know, with your mother leaving...again." Klaus pushes off the wall, walking towards her. "It's very sad....I can help you find her, if you want. I have people that can find people that can bring her back to you. Or if you chose, I can just bring parts of her back." Klaus shrugs, a grin on his face. Bonnie glares at him, shoving him away. "Isn't it obvious that I'm just going to continue to hurt the people you love until you do the spell. Now I know it's in the grim-more, and I know it requires the blood of my siblings. So here we are," Klaus grabs something off the table, opening it to reveal tubes of blood. "Elijah, Rebekah, Kol, and Finn." Klaus brings up his wrist biting into it. Bonnie gives him a startled look as his blood drips to the floor.
"You're ruining the carpet." I whine, grabbing a glass off the table, letting his blood drip into it. After about seven drops go in the cup I hand it to Bonnie, "Get working Bonnie, I don't have all day."
Bonnie glares at me, before starting to chant. She opens the tubes of blood, slowly pouring each one into the cup. I wonder how she memorizes all these words, it sounds complicated.
She starts chanting louder, picking up the cup, slowly pouring the blood onto the table. The blood on the table, slowly starts spreading apart, symbolizing the siblings link breaking I'm guessing.
All the candles and the fireplace flames lick higher, causing me to jump slightly, grabbing Klaus' hand. Klaus gives me an amused expression, finding it hilarious that I'm afraid of witches spells.
There are now five separate spots of blood, which I think means they are unlinked. Bonnie blinks a few times, tears in her eyes. "It's done." she states.
I grin, looking over at Klaus. "Hell yeah it is."
He rolls his eyes, but he has a smile on his face also. "Thank you Bonnie."
She closes her eyes for a second, "Like I did it to please you two."
"Well now you can leave, that has to be a positive." I point out, grabbing her bag from the table, holding it out towards her. Bonnie snatches it from my hand, a defiant look on her face.
"Let's go." Klaus says, leading her out of the room. We head down the stairs, passing by the living room.
Rebekah walks out of it, wiping her bloody hands on a towel. She glances up at us. "Leaving so soon?" she asks Bonnie.
"Be nice." Klaus scolds, giving Rebekah that disapproving older brother look.
Rebekah gives her a forced smile, "Thank you Bonnie. See you in physics class." she saunters away from us, giving us a nice few of the carved meat she has in the living room. Jesus, she really did a number on him...
"Oh my God." Bonnie breathes out, seeing Damon hanging in the living room. Like literally hanging. Haha, pun.
"You'll have to excuse the mess, apparently Damon hurt her feelings." Klaus explains.
"Go on, help him." I tell Bonnie, as he looks up at us. "Save the man who made me turn your mother. Damon was supposed to turn her, he was going to do it. I decided to help him out and snap her neck for him. I killed her to help him. So technically it's his fault if you think about it." I shrug.
Bonnie stares at him for a few moments, "Just get me out of here."
"Very well." Klaus smirks, taking her arm and leading her out of the room.
I don't follow them, instead I walk into the living room towards Damon. He looks up at me, a sliver of hope in those blue eyes that I used to get so lost in. I've never gotten into anybody's head before. He's weak enough that I think I could get in there. I close my eyes, concentrating on the vision I want to put in his head.
"Damon, help me!" I scream, looking at all the vampires in front of me. There's no way I can take on all these. I'm good, but I'm not that good.
Elena from the other side of the clearing screams, "No, Damon! She's a monster. Help me!" the vampires advancing towards both of us. Damon only has time to save one of us. He has to chose.
Damon looks at both of us frantically, his eyes panicked. "I don't know what to do..." he mutters.
"Damon!" I cry, the vampires getting closer.
"Damon!" Elena cries, her voice just as panicked as mine.
"I can't chose...I can't chose." Damon panics, not moving an inch.
The vampires move on both of us, ripping both of us apart. Elena and I's screams flood through the clearing, ringing in Damon's ears. Tears gather in his eyes, he not able to save either of us.
I appear in front of him, glancing over at the vampires ripping 'me' apart. That's disturbing. "You really couldn't chose? That's sad."
Damon shakes his head, "It was an impossible choice Aria, it wasn't fair. I love..."
"You love us both?" I demand, a deadly look in my eyes.
"I-I...I don't know what you want me to say." Damon sighs.
"It would have been nice if you chose me. Or at least chose one of us. You let us both die. Nice work there buddy." I deadpan.
"Could you chose? Between Klaus or I?" Damon fires back.
A stake appears in my hand, and before Damon sees it coming I stab it into his heart. He gasps, falling to his knees, his skin slowly starting to turn grey. "Yeah Damon, I can chose."
"Aria! Aria!" I snap out of the vision, stumbling a few steps once I'm back. Klaus is standing in front of me, a worried expression on his face. I frown, bring my hand up to my nose, feeling blood run down.
"Ouch." I wince, my head hurting slightly. Who knew vampires could get headaches.
"You can't do that. You're not strong enough to be in his head for that long love." Klaus sighs, keeping his hand on my arm just in case I topple over or something.
I shrug, "I was having fun messing with him though."
Klaus glances over at the unconscious Damon before rolling his eyes. "Don't do that anymore. You forget how young you are in the vampire community. How weak."
"Well sorry I'm not a thousand year old hybrid but thanks for the confidence booster Klaus." I grumble.
Klaus smiles, "Come on, let's go upstairs. It smells like old, dried up blood in here. And as weird as it sounds, it smells pretty bad."
I laugh, shaking my head. "You're hilarious sometimes, you know that?"
==================
I hear Stefan yelling from the living room, telling me that he has finally come to save his dearest brother. About time he showed up, I thought he was going to leave Damon here forever to be tortured.
"Look, a hero." Klaus smirks, him Rebekah, and I walking into the room. My eyes go down to Stefan's duffle bag, wondering what the hell is in there. "What do you want?" Klaus asks.
Stefan throws the duffle on the ground, "I'm here to make a deal."
"Stefan, what are you doing?" Damon weakly demands, his eyes half open.
"Eight stakes, made of White Oak. The part of Wikery Bridge you forgot to burn." Stefan states, causing me to look over at Klaus and Rebekah horrified. They have stakes that can kill them...
"That's impossible." Rebekah denies, an almost panicked look on her face.
"Actually it's not. Finn's dead." Stefan says, remaining perfectly calm. Oh my God, they killed an Original. What the hell is wrong with them these days. You don't go around killing Klaus' siblings.
"You killed my brother?" Rebekah glares, looking ready to murder him.
Stefan ignores Rebekah, taking a step closer to Klaus. "Damon, in exchange for the last eight weapons that can kill you."
"How do we know there aren't anymore left. You aren't exactly honest nowadays Stefan." I say, not trusting that they are handing them all over.
"There aren't any left." Stefan insists.
"Let's be certain, shall we?" Klaus walks over to Damon, whispering in his ear. "Leave."
"No." Damon growls.
"Go on, leave." Klaus urges.
"Nik, he's my plaything. Not yours." Rebekah whines, looking annoyed with her older brother.
Klaus suddenly grabs Damon's neck, forcing Damon to look over at him. "I said, go home." Klaus compels, a deadly note in his voice. Klaus lets go of Damon, taking a step back.
Damon starts trying to pull his hands out of the traps, causing him to groan in pain. Blood is running down his forearms, his hands and wrists a bloody mess. "Alright, stop, stop." Klaus laughs, "Before you hurt yourself." he teases. "Well I see he can finally be compelled, now, minus the stake that is in my brother, how many more stakes are out there that can kill me?" Klaus compels once again.
"11." Damon answers, causing Stefan to shut his eyes for a moment. Oo, busted.
"11, really? So not eight then?" Klaus sighs, making me kind of worried for Stefan's life.
"You really shouldn't have lied." I tell him, an amused smile on my face.
"I'll get you your other three." Stefan says.
"That would be nice." Klaus nods, "But since you lied, maybe I'll just compel your brother to chew out his own tongue?" Klaus suggest, making me shiver internally. Sometimes I wonder why I date insane people.
"What is wrong with you?" Stefan whispers.
"What is wrong with you?!" Klaus fires back. "Do you really have no appreciation for me? I've given you someone to hate, to loathe. A target, for all of your anger so you don't have to turn it on yourself. I've given your life purpose. As your friend." Klaus lets out a bitter laugh. "I really think you should be thanking me."
"Enough!" Stefan snaps, grabbing Klaus and shoving him against the wall. I gasp when I see a White Oak stake in his hand. He better get that thing away from my boyfriend or I will go insane girlfriend on him.
"Step down, or you both die...and I don't think Aria would like to see me rip you two to shreds." Klaus threatens, not at all afraid of Stefan. Stefan releases Klaus, and Klaus slowly takes the stakes out of Stefan's hand. "There, now you only have to get me the other two."
"This is ridiculous." Rebekah groans, walking over to Damon, opening one of the bear traps.
"What are you doing?" Klaus questions.
Rebekah releases his other hand causing Damon to fall to his knees. "I brought him here, I get to release him. My rules now." Rebekah looks back over at Stefan. "Bring us the stakes and you both live. Take your brother as a sign of good faith." Rebekah reaches down, grabbing the duffle bag, before walking out of the room.
"Bring us the stakes, or I will rage a war with everybody you love. I hope I'm making myself clear." Klaus warns, following his sister out of the room. I look at Stefan a moment, before rolling my eyes. He's an idiot.
"You better bring those stakes back Stefan." I say, starting to walk out of the room.
"So that's it? You've finally picked your side?" Stefan demands.
I look back at him, "Oh I picked my side a long time ago Stefan and it was never yours."

What do you guys think about Nina Dobrev deciding to leave the show. I honestly don't mind that much. I think it will be pretty interesting to see how they do it without Elena Gilbert.
Anyways, hope you enjoyed the chapter.
