10- The Sacrifice
"And I'm here with you boys, because?" Addison asks as Stefan and Damon led her down to the tomb where Katherine was held.
Damon looks back at her. "If she pisses us off you can give her a witchy migrane." She rolls her eyes at him but continues to walk behind them. The three stop at the door, the two brothers looking at each other. "Let's do it."
They grab the stone door; Damon taking the right side, Stefan taking the left as Addison watched. "1,2,3." Damon counted before they pulled the stone door off the entrance of the tomb.
Addison stood, waiting for what was to come next.
-----
Now at Elena's, with the Salvatore Brothers, Addison stood on the porch, as Stefan knocked.
Elena answers the door, looking at the trio, confused. "Hey."
"Hey, can we talk?" Stefan asks her.
Elena gives them another confused glance. "Why?"
Addison sighs. "We went to see Katherine." Elena gives her a weird look, not expecting her to go see Katherine again. "They dragged me with them." Elena nods lightly.
"Come on in." Elena says and steps aside, allowing the three to come inside.
-------
Damon and Stefan successfully remove the stone door from the entrance of the tomb. They place it to the side and approach the entrance. Stefan and Damon lean against the frame of the entrance as Addison leaned against the back wall, all waiting for Katherine, who comes around the corner, looking hungry.
"Please...come on in. There's plenty of room for all of us." Katherine says to the brothers. "Hello, Alycia."
Addison rolls her eyes. "It's Addison."
Katherine smirks. "Not till you find out the truth." Katherine says.
Damon cuts in. "I'd rather poke my eyes out then be in there with you."
"Mmm, they're such pretty eyes." Katherine says to the older Salvatore brother.
"We're here for the moonstone." Stefan says, speaking up for the first time since he saw Katherine come out from the back of the tomb.
"Feel like tossing it over?" Damon asks.Katherine smirks. "Tell you what, you get your little witch, Alycia, to hocus pocus me out of here, you can have whatever you want." Katherine says, looking at Addison.
"I thought you liked it in here. Nice and safe where Klaus can't get to you." Addison asks, ignoring the part where she said the wrong name.
"I've had time to reconsider." Katherine says, a smirk on her face.
Addison rolls her eyes. "Meaning you're hungry." The witch says.
"I'm starving, Alycia. And dirty. But above all, I'm bored." Katherine says to the other girl. Katherine has progressively gotten closer to the entrance, stumbling and grasping at the wall as she does so. "At least running from Klaus wasn't boring - so here's the deal: you get me out of here, you get the moonstone and I'll disappear from Mystic Falls forever."
Addison, Stefan and Damon look at each other as Katherine starts to walk away. "Let me know what you decide." She says as she holds up the moonstone and stumbles back into recesses of the cave.
-------
Addison, Elena, Damon, and Stefan stand around the island in the kitchen, talking. "You don't believe her, do you?" Elena asks the three that had visited the Pierce woman.
Addison shakes her head. "No, of course not. We just want the moonstone." Addison says to the girl.
"According to Rose's friend Slater, there's a way to destroy the spell that Klaus wants to break." Stefan explains to the girl.
"No spell, no doppelgänger sacrifice. Ergo, you live." Addison says to her.
"How do you destroy it?" Elena asks the three.
"By releasing it from the moonstone." Addison speaks, letting a few sparks fly across her finger tips from her magic.
Elena shakes her head. "How do you guys even know this is gonna work?"
"Cause we have a crafty witches on our side." Damon says, gesturing to Addison.
"You discussed it with Bonnie?" Addison nods at the Gilbert girl.
She agreed to do anything she could to help us." Stefan says to the brunette Doppelganger. Addison plays with the end of her hair as Elena spoke.
"It's Katherine who has the moonstone. She's not gonna give it to you."
"We're gonna get it from her." Stefan says.
Damon smirks slightly. "Well, what he means to say is, we will pry it from her cold, dead hand if we have to." "Bonnie and Addison just need to find a way to release the seal long enough for us to get in, get the moonstone, and get out in time for her to return it."
"Wow. I mean, it sounds like you guys already have it all planned out."
"Yep. We're awesome." Damon says to her, smirking at her.
"Except for one thing." Addison gives her a confused look. I don't want you to do it." Elena says to them.
Stefan and Damon exchange cinfused looks. "What are you talking about? Elena, we don't have a choice." Stefan says to his girlfriend.
"What about Klaus?" Elena asks him.
Addison sighs. "We'll find him right after we get the moonstone."
Elena looks at Addison. "Is that before or after he kills everyone that I care about, including the three of you." She points from Addison to Stefan to Damon.
"Elena, if we can de-spell the moonstone, we can save your life." Stefan tells her. "I know. Everybody keeps saying that."
Elena gets up and leaves the room. Stefan, Addison and Damon exchange a look again.
----
Addison now stood in the parlor of the Salvatore house as she and Bonnie spoke to Stefan, Jeremy, and Damon about their plan.
"We might be able to lower the tomb spell long enough for you to get in there and grab the moonstone from Katherine." Bonnie says to the three boys."How? It took both you and your Grams last time, and look what happened to her." Jeremy says to the Bennett girl. Addison gives the youngest Gilbert a look as if to say 'are you stupid?'"I'm well aware of what happened." Bonnie snaps back. "I've learned a few new things."
Jeremy sighs. "Bonnie..." Bonnie deflects Jeremy's concern and looks over at Stefan.
"How will you get it?" Bonnie asks him. Addison looks at the Salvatore boy, knowing she meant the moonstone.
"She hasn't been feeding, she's weaker. We're not." Stefan tells the two witches.
Damon raises a glass of blood to Addison and Bonnie. Addison rolls her eyes slighly, taking a sip of her bourbon.
"You wouldn't be underestimating her, would you?" Bonnie asks the boys.
Addison nods, agreeing with Bonnie. "If you guys screw up and aren't able to get out before the spell is done. You'll be stuck, we may not be able to get you out."
"It's a plan. Is it perfect?" Damon scoffs, as Addison rolls her eyes, drinking the rest of the glass of alcohol. "What plan is?"
Jeremy speaks up to the group, looking around at them. "Let me do it. I've got my ring. I can get in, get out, no spells necessary."
Addison scoffs, shaking her head. "No." She says to him.
"Gee, thanks, 16-year-old boy. Why didn't we think of that?" Damon asks sarcastically. "Why are you even here?"
Addison thinks for a moment before looking at Bonnie before looking at the others. "Maybe I can help better the plan. Do you have anything that belongs to Katherine?" She asks the Salvatore boys.
Damon looks over at Stefan, significantly. Stefan looks at Addison, nodding before leaving the room.
----
Stefan returns, holding a photograph in his hands. "This belonged to Katherine. Found it with her things after I thought she was dead, but it was hers."
Stefan holds out the portrait of Katherine and Addison takes it. She places the portrait in a ceramic bowl. She and Bonnie both, dip their fingers in a glass of water and lets the water droplets drip from their fingertips into the bowl. Flames sprout from the bowl. The girls shut their eyes and begin to chant a spell in Latin.
"What will this do?" Damon asks the girls.
Addison opens her eyes as she watches the picture burn. "We can turn the metal into ash. Blow the ashes on her, and it'll incapacitate her for a minute or two. Long enough for on of you to get the stone and get out."
Bonnie's nose starts to bleed, but she wipes it away before anyone notices.
----
Bonnie pours the ashes from the bowl onto an end table. Stefan and Damon re-enter the room with supplies for the excursion. Addison stood by the table, texting Marcel.
New Orleans still standing? -A.
"Still gotta get the torches." Stefan says to the group. Addison looks up, nodding at him.
"Alaric's stake gun's in my trunk. Witches?" Damon asks the girls.
"Go ahead, we're almost done. Adds, go help them." Bonnie says. Addison nods, walking out of the room with the Salvatore brothers.
Addison's phone buzzes, she pulls it from her pocket. "Does Addison Shaffer have a boyfriend?" Damon jokes. Addison rolls her eyes, reading the text.
It'd be a lot better of you had stayed. -Marcel.
Addison smiles at the text, rolling her eyes. "Ooh, she smiles." Damon says. "Who's Marcel?" Damon asks, reading over her shoulder.
"None of your damn buisness." She says, putting the phone back in her pocket. The three continue their way to the tomb.
----
Bonnie approaches Addison, Stefan and Damon who are waiting in the church ruins by the entrance to the tomb.
"Sorry, I'm late. I had to grab the grimore from home."
Addison gives the girl a confused look. "We have mine." Addison says to the Bennett, holding up the large spell book.
Bonnie looks at the girl. "I forgot you had yours, sorry." Bonnie says to her. Addison gives her a look but doesn't say anything.
"Jeremy couldn't take the pressure, huh?" Damon asks, noticing the young Gilbert boy wasn't with her. Addison frowns, just noticing he wasn't there.
"He said he'd be here." Bonnie says to them.
Addison nods at the Bennett witch. "Shall we get this over with?" She asks as her phone buzzes. She sighs, checking it.
How's the disastrous Mystic Falls? -Marcel
Addison doesn't reply, putting her phone back away. "Let's get this shit over with." She says and they walk downstairs, all besides Damon who gets a phone call.
Stefan and Bonnie follow Addison down into the tomb. Addison opens her grimore, reading one of the pages, muttering to herself as she read. Stefan drops his bag and starts rummaging through it, but something catches his eye. He sees the moonstone lying nearby.
"What the hell?" Stefan asks, causing both witches to look at him. Addison closes her grimore and sees what he was looking at.
"Is that the moonstone?" Bonnie asks him and the three rush to it as Stefan picks it up.
Katherine walks to the entrance, her lips drenched in blood. Addison looks up, feeling her presense. Her eyes widen at Katherine's appearance. "I hate to interrupt," Stefan and Bonnie look up at her. "but today has just been full of surprises." Katherine pulls Jeremy out from behind the wall. Addison gasps lightly, going towards them but Bonnie grabs her arm, stopping her before she can enter the tomb. Jeremy's eyelids flutter and the bite mark on his neck oozes blood. Stefan rushes over to the entrance and Bonnie looks on in horror.
"I'm sorry. I took some powder." Jeremy says, weakly as he was leaning against the wall.
"Don't worry, I know that he's wearing his ring, so no matter how many times I kill him, he'll just keep coming back for more. So, I'm going to be in the back playing with my new little toy." Katherine says to the three. She shoves Jeremy back into the cave. "And you guys just give me a holler when you've got the tomb open. Goodbye, Alycia." Addison glares at the brunette girl as she walks back into the cave.
----
Addison and Bonnie set up a circle of torches in the antechamber. Addison lights them with a flame using her magic. Stefan stood nearby, watching the two girls.
"Where the hell is Damon?" He asks them.
Addison shrugs. "Right now, he's not here and we need to work on getting Jeremy the hell away from that bitch." Addison snaps, rolling her eyes.
"She's fed, she has her strength back." Stefan says to the two witches.
"We still have what's left of the ash." Bonnie says and hands Stefan an envelope with the ash. "Do you think you can get close enough?"
Stefan takes the envelope from Bonnie. "I don't have a choice." Addison frowns slightly at his words.
"It's gonna take us some time." Bonnie says to the boy.The vampire looks at the two witches. "How long?" He asks them, worried for his girlfriends brother. "I don't know, a while." Bonnie replies back.
Stefan sighs quietly. "Just get me in there as soon as you can." Stefan says and Addison nods at the boy before he walks away.
----
The two girls hands closed tightly, chanting in Latin as they did the spell, though, unknown to Addison and Stefan, who was watching nearby, Bonnie clutched onto dogtags she took from Luka. She was channeling his power, as well as Addison's as she held a small ring, she took from Addison.
Bonnie and Addison continue to chant the spell and the flames flare up. Katherine, dragging Jeremy behind her, comes back towards the entrance. Addison winces as she was channeled, though, just thinking it was because of the spell and how hard it was.
"Ohhh, something's happening." Katherine says.
Stefan looks back at them.
"Bonnie, no!" Jeremy exclaims, knowing the Bennett wasn't strong enough for the spell, that is, on her own. Stefan looks back at Bonnie, a look of alarm on his face. Jeremy looks at Stefan, alarmed. "You have to stop her, she's not strong enough!" The Gilbert boy yells.
The flames flare up higher as Addison lets out a quiet gasp in pain as she continues to chant, knowing that she cannot stop this far into the spell. "Maybe she is." Katherine says, smirking slightly.
------
Bonnie's nose is bleeding as well, but she continues to chant the spell. Stefan walks over to her, concerned. "Bonnie....Bonnie...." Stefan says, trying to get the Bennett to stop the spell. He can hear Addison's quiet gasps of pain as her nose bled as well. "Addison?... Addison!"
"You gotta stop her!" Jeremy exclaims.
Katherine elbows Jeremy in the face and he falls to the floor. Stefan looks back at Jeremy and sees he's okay. He looks back at Bonnie and grasps her arm. "You need to stop. Bonnie!"
Addison then lets out a scream, causing her to stop chanting and hold her head in pain. The young Shaffer witch falls to the ground, passed out. Stefan rushes over to her, checking her pulse, sighing in relief as she was breathing but weakly.
Bonnie continues to chant the spell as Stefan tries to persuade her to stop. "Bonnie!" He exclaims.
Suddenly, Bonnie faints. Stefan gets down next to her and begins to shake her. "Bonnie." He says worriedly for his friend. "Bonnie, wake up, please." The vampire pleads. "Bonnie, wake up. Bonnie."
"Yes, please because I'm still in here!" Katherine exclaims as Addison slowly sits up.
Katherine impatiently paces around inside the tomb. Bonnie finally wakes up.
"Are you okay? You guys all right?" Stefan asks the witches. Addison looks around and then at Bonnie, before noticing the dogtags and her own ring in the Bennett girls hands.
Bonnie, feeling fuzzy, sits up with Stefan's help. Bonnie uses Stefan's arm to stand herself up. "It didn't work." Bonnie looks into the cave, upset. Stefan holds onto her arms so she won't fall back down. Addison shakily gets up with the help of Stefan and Bonnie. "I'm not strong enough." Bonnie says. "Even with 2 witches' help, I can't do it." Bonnie mutters.
Katherine rolls her eyes. "Ahhh, that's too bad, I'm still hungry." Katherine grabs Jeremy's shirt and pushes him up against the wall. She extends her fangs and prepares to bite Jeremy's neck. Addison yells no as Stefan vamp-speeds into the tomb, grabs Jeremy, throws him out, and restrains Katherine against the wall.
"Go!" The blondish haired yells at the Gilbert boy. Jeremy falls onto the ground and Bonnie kneels down and wraps her arms around him. Addison bends down on the other side, looking at the marks on his neck. The three of them look up at Stefan as Stefan looks back at them. Katherine looks up at Stefan with a smug smile.
-----
Addison sat in her hotel room, trying to call Marcel, but doesn't get an answer. "Marcel, call me back when you get this. It's urgent. It's about Alycia Danvers, or me, I suppose. Just call me back as soon as you can." She says and then hangs up.
She closes her eyes, sighing as she then looks down to the book in front of her. Six names were written in cursive.
Elijah Mikaelson
Niklaus Mikaelson
Kol Mikaelson
Rebekah Mikaelson
Marcellus Gerard
Alycia Danvers
The young witch wasn't sure what they had all meant, or why they were there, or what connection she had exactly to the Mikaelson's but she sure as hell was gonna find out. Though one name stood out in particular, and she wasn't sure why, but she knew she would figure it out.
-----
We're so close to finding out about the truth and I'm so excited! What are your guys thoughts on this chapter? About Bonnie channeling Addison without permission? Or even the names? Let me know what you guys think! Thanks for reading. Bye.
