*Chapter Fifty One* {The Sun Also Rises}

Even in his sleep, Jeremy seemed restless. Every few minutes he would fidget and change position yet always remained close to Enzo. Despite being restless he continued to sleep. Enzo wasn't so lucky.

As the night went on, he couldn't find it in himself to close his eyes for more than a couple minutes before they would open again. He would stare into the darkness of the room praying, for Jeremy's sake, everything would turn out alright. In all honesty, he couldn't wait until they out lived Elena and would no longer have to worry about her.

"Enzo," Alvina says, her voice strained and stressed.

"What is it?" Enzo asks, fearing for the worst. The last thing he wanted was for Alvina to get hurt while he's here with Jeremy. She's around a lot of people they don't know and they don't trust. He'll feel a lot better when she's back in eyesight.

"Jenna's been kidnapped and forced into transition. You have to find someone else to take her place in the ritual," Alvina tells him.

"I'll handle it," Enzo promises her. While he was relieved nothing seemed wrong with Alvina he knew he needed to act quickly in order to get Jenna in the clear. "It's just one thing after another," He mutters to himself.

His eyes downcast to Jeremy. While Jeremy would get Elena back, if Enzo couldn't save Jenna Jeremy would lose her forever. Plus, he likes Jenna. She's kind. Loves Elena and Jeremy with all her heart. She put her life on pause just to look after the both of them.

Slipping out of bed, Enzo pulls the covers up further on Jeremy before leaving the room. It took him a while to get to the place he had been searching for but when he arrived he was pleased to find who he's looking for sitting on the porch.

When Alvina had freed him from Augustine one of the first things he did was hunt down those involved with the organization. However, one night is not enough to get all the rats involved. Every now and then he'll branch from his mates when he's able to track down one of the doctors. His usual course of action is usually more personal but he has other plans for this one in particular.

"Doctor Angela Brims," Enzo says, stopping at the bottom of the steps leading up to the porch. While her exterior remains stoic, Enzo can hear her heartbeat escalating. "Your day of reckoning has come,"

"I'm not apart of Augustine anymore... I left," She whisper to him. He slowly walks up the steps. Her body becomes more tense the closer he gets.

"Well, I hope you were able to enjoy life outside of that hell," He tells her. "Because now it's over," He says, stalking over to her. Her mouth opens but the words die in her throat. "I'm in a bit of a hurry, darling, we're going to have to make this quick,"

"Wait-" Enzo ignores her brief protest and yanks her out of her seat. She struggles against him but he forces his bleeding wrist into her mouth until she has no choice but to drink the metallic liquid. "Please-" She begs but Enzo ignores her once more. With a snap of her neck, she falls limp in his arms.

Enzo tosses her over his shoulder and takes off toward ritual site. When he arrives he sees Elena, Jenna and another woman standing in individual spots surrounded by a medium sized flamed barrier.

"Enzo," Klaus greets moving away from Greta. He had just handed over the moonstone when he arrived. "What brings you here?"

Looking away from the three women, Enzo looks at Klaus. A brief moment passes before Enzo is tossing Angela to the ground rather ungracefully. Klaus frowns his eyebrows, taking a few steps forward.

"Am I supposed to know who that is?" Klaus asks, raising his eyes back to Enzo.

"It's your vampire," Alvina says, walking out of the treeline. Klaus stares at her for the first time with his own eyes. "Let Jenna go,"

Klaus looks back at the unconscious woman before glancing toward Jenna. The newly turned vampire looked terribly confused and extremely terrified. While Klaus enjoyed the fact that using Jenna for the ritual would be a jab at Elena it would also be a jab at Jeremy. 

"Make the switch Greta," Klaus orders, the witch. Making a final jab at Elena wasn't worth further dividing him and Jeremy.

"Take Jenna home," Alvina tells Enzo. Enzo gives Alvina a look, obviously not wanting to leave her here. "Trust me," Alvina pleads with him. She didn't want to leave Klaus to deal with Bonnie and Elijah alone if things didn't turn out the way she hoped.

"Elena," Jenna whispers, hesitantly stepping toward Enzo.

"Go with him," Elena tells her. "It's going to be ok, stay with Enzo. He'll look after you," She promises, trying to sound encouraging despite the tears in her eyes.

"Come on," Enzo says, being patient and gentle with Jenna. He lightly takes her elbow and begins to lead her away. He sends Alvina another look. "Be careful," Alvina sends him a strong, reassuring nod. A moment later, the two are long gone and Jenna's replacement begins to wake up.

"Complete her transition," Klaus orders, stepping closer to Alvina. Greta walks towards Angela. The transitioning vampire tries to resist but Greta is able to overpower her with magic.

"Thank you for letting Jenna go," Alvina whispers to him. Klaus sends her a small smile. 

"I don't think I had much of a choice," He tells her, a sly smirk replacing the gentle smile.

"We always have a choice," Alvina tells him. Klaus's smirk falls a bit. "Every choice has a consequence. We just have to decide if the consequences are worth it," Klaus takes in her words and steps even closer to her.

"I will make things right with Jeremy," Klaus whispers, to her. "I promise you," Alvina gives him a small smile.

"I know you will," She whispers to him. Klaus slowly lifts his hand, Alvina watches it come towards her. She doesn't stop him when he tenderly brushes his knuckles against her cheek. A soft smile comes to her lips as she feels a vibrating feeling of the bond initiating. 

"We'll all be together soon," Klaus promises. Alvina lifting her hand and gently grabs his wrist. She kisses the inside of his wrist, where her initials had just finished turning golden.

"The moon has passed its apex," Greta announces. 

"Go," Alvina whispers. "I'll be right here," Alvina promises him. He gives her chin a light bump with his knuckles before turning toward the witch.

"Remember everything you need to do?" Greta asks, standing by the stone bowl.

"I remember," Klaus states, standing near the werewolf. She exchanges some words with Elena before the ring of fire disappears. A second later the werewolf is attacking Klaus. She's no match for him and he's quick to over power her.

Alvina smirks, finding it very attractive the way he viciously thrusts his hand into her chest. When he grips her heart, he rips it from her chest. Alvina licks her lips as he stands up with the organ in his hand.

"Does that mean its working?" Klaus asks, as the bowl reacts to the werewolves heart.

"It's working," She assures him. Klaus smirks, sharing a look with Alvina before moving towards the newly turned vampire.

"What the fuck is going on?" Angela whispers, moving as far as she can from Klaus.

"Don't worry, sweetheart," Klaus smirks. "It'll all be over soon," Angela gulps. When the circle of fire disappears, Klaus kills Angela with a stake with no hesitation. Greta continues with the second part of the spell.

"Alvina," Elena whispers. "Take care of Jeremy," Alvina looks at her for a moment before slowly nodding.

"Always," Alvina promises her. A small look of relief passes across her terrified eyes. A moment later the fire disappears and Elena moves with Klaus toward the stone. Alvina feels a pang of sympathy as Klaus bites into Elena's neck.

"I can feel it... It's happening," Klaus whispers, walking away from Greta. Alvina winces as Klaus's bones begin to break and reform. Turning her head, Alvina senses Elijah and Bonnie a moment before they appear.

Elijah tosses Klaus to the ground. Alvina's heart leaps to her throat when he thrusts his hand into Klaus's chest. Bonnie quickly comes into the picture, chanting the spell to read his mind. She hoped to succeed at a distance instead of being so close to him.

Alvina barely registers Stefan coming out of the woods to grab Elena's body. Her focus is completely on Klaus. She didn't hesitate to turn into her fairy form, ready to protect or... or avenge Klaus.

"I didn't bury them at sea!... Their bodies are safe... If you kill me, you'll never find them," Klaus chokes out. Elijah and Alvina both look to Bonnie.

"He's telling the truth," Bonnie says. Elijah's jaw ticks, his eyes returning to his brother.

"Elijah..." Alvina growls. "We had a deal," Reluctantly, Elijah releases Klaus. Alvina relaxes, as he disappears with Bonnie. A few moments later, Klaus shifts into his werewolf. "Klaus..." She whispers, kneeling to the ground.

The wolf turn towards Alvina. Her wings flutter behind her back catching his eyes. He sniffs the air and inches closer to her. Holding out a steady hand, she waits for his move. 

"Beautiful," Alvina whispers, as he pushes his head into her hand. She scratched his head before standing up. "Go," She whispers to him. "Be a wolf," Klaus barks before turning and running into the woods.

Once he was out of view, Alvina flew back to the Salvatore home. In her human form, Alvina marches inside the home where she sees Jeremy and Elena standing beside each other. A large weight lifts off her shoulders upon seeing Elena alive.

"Vina," Jeremy whispers, seeing her slowly walking into the room. Alvina smiles, meeting him half way and pulling him into a tight hug. "Thank you... Thank you so much," Jeremy says, clinging to her tightly.

"Shh, it's alright," Alvina whispers, holding him. Her hands simultaneously rubs his back and the back of his hair. "It all worked out, baby... It's all going to be ok," She promises.

"Thank you, thank you," He whispers, leaning back to connect their foreheads. "I love you," Alvina smiles, caressing his jaw.

"I love you too," She whispers, before lightly kissing him. When they pull away, she looks around for Enzo and Jenna before asking about them.

"I'm right here, love," Enzo says, coming over to them. "Jenna's with Stefan, he's helping her right now,"

"She's alright?" Alvina asks.

"She's going to be fine... It's one hell of a transition from her old life but she'll get through it," Enzo assures her.

"Thank you," Elena says coming up to them. "Both of you," She says looking between Enzo and Alvina. "For helping me and saving Jenna,"

"Of course," Alvina nods. "Get some rest, you need it. Also, stay out of sight until Klaus leaves. We don't need him knowing you're still alive,"

"Right," Elena nods. "Thank you both again," Elena says before walking away. When she was out of sight, Alvina pulls Jeremy in for another hug.

"Come on, you both need some rest," Enzo said, resting his hand on Alvina's back.

"So, do you," Jeremy says, pulling from Alvina. Enzo gives him a wink and leads them both back to their room. Jeremy collapses in the middle of the bed with Alvina and Enzo on either side of him. "I know it hasn't been easy lately but thank you," Jeremy whispers to the both of them.

"I love you," Alvina whispers, kissing his forehead. "Get some sleep, baby," She mutters, snuggling into him.
