088. the sun also rises

"God, I can't see anything." Natasha complained, as Greta dragged her through the woods. The Petrova had used a spell, to mimic a heartbeat so that the other supernatural creatures couldn't tell that she was undead.. although it was hard to hide her vampire features.

Greta suddenly lit fires all around them, and once able to see, Natasha's attention was brought to someone, lying on the ground.

She rushed over to the person, to realise that it was Jenna. The Petrova's eyes widened, as she knew how much the Sommers meant to Lexa and her siblings. "Jenna! Jenna? Hey, hey, Jenna! Jenna!" She called out, trying to find a pulse, but there was none.

Natasha dropped Jenna's wrist, covering her mouth in shock before she heard Greta say, "She's not dead. She's in transition."

Sometime later, Jenna's eyes snapped open. "Oh, my head. What's wrong with me?" The girl asked. "Jenna. Do you remember what happened?" Natasha asked, speaking quietly. "You called me. You were so scared. Oh, ah, I should have realized that it wasn't you. The second I walked out of the house, someone grabbed me. A vampire." Jenna rambled on, before Natasha's face faltered. "Klaus. It was Klaus."

"He made me drink his blood. And I don't...I don't remember anything after that." Jenna added before she looked around, anxiously. "Where are we? What happened?"

"We're at the quarry. Jenna, do you remember... how someone becomes a vampire?" The Petrova asked as Jenna nodded. "Yeah, if you die with vampire blood in your system, it's..." She trailed off before coming to the realisation. "Oh, god. He killed me... I'm a vampire?" She asked, with panic. Natasha opened her mouth to answer but Greta had cut her off, "And I bet you're hungry."

Greta approached them, using her magic to separate Natasha and Jenna, keeping Natasha now in a separate ring of fire. "Don't bother trying to get through. I spelled the circle. You're trapped. No matter what you do." Greta ordered.

Natasha felt a stinging pain in her chest, remembering what it was like the day she learnt that her entire family had been killed. She'd lost everyone. She didn't want Lexa and her siblings to go through the same thing. "Greta...Please, just...just let her go!" Natasha pleaded.

Greta sliced her wrist open with a sharp rock, causing blood to drip from her wound. Jenna looked at it, hungrily. "Klaus chose her." The witch insisted, before she lowered her wrist towards Jenna. Jenna stared at Greta's bloody wrist and finally sunk her teeth in. Natasha turned away, unable to look.

By now, Isaiah was here and he was pacing around, beginning to grow impatient.

"How are you feeling?" Natasha asked, as Jenna had finished her transition. "I feel like myself... Only not. Everything is brighter. The fire's hotter. Part of me is terrified, but there's another part of me that doesn't want to feel anything." Jenna explained. "Vampires can turn off the part that's human. That's the part that hurts." The doppelgänger explained.

Jenna's eyes glistened with tears, "I'm gonna die, aren't I?" She asked. Natasha shook her head, "No... no absolutely not." She insisted, knowing very well that she was... but she couldn't bring herself to tell Jenna the truth.

Suddenly, Jules and Sienna appeared, as Jules had tied the Lockwood's wrists together with wolfsbane soaked ropes. One was also tied around her head, and stuck in her mouth. Natasha and Jenna looked up, in shock. "What are they doing here?" Jenna asked, but Natasha didn't answer, as she listened in to the conversation.

"Here.." Jules said, shoving Sienna towards Greta. "I did what you asked, now let me and Tyler flee." She demanded. Isaiah untied the rope around Sienna's head, and the wolf turned to Jules. "You fucking bitch!" She hissed. Jules glared, "It was either you, Tyler or me! I had no other choice!" Jules snapped back as the Lockwood looked terrified.

Klaus laughed, before he approached Jules. "Thank you." He said, before suddenly plunging his hand into her chest, and ripping out her heart. "I don't like traitors." The Mikealson insisted. Isaiah smirked, watching Jules dead body hit the floor. "She had it coming." He said, before he untied the rope around Sienna's wrist.

Sienna turned to Isaiah, tears in her eyes. "Please don't hurt Tyler... whatever you do." She begged. Isaiah just smirked, "No promises, hun." He said, before he shoved her to the ground. Greta set a ring of fire around the girl, whilst she tried to transform, but her transformation seemed to have slowed.

"Sienna?" Jenna blurted, as the mid-transition werewolf looked up, her eyes meeting Jenna and Natasha. "Jenna? Elena?" She asked, before grimacing in pain. "Oh god.. this is the ritual Lexa was hell bent on stopping." The Lockwood realised, as tears glistened her eyes again as she realised that they were all going to die.

"Oh my god.. how do we help her?" Jenna asked, watching the Lockwood scream out in pain. Natasha kept her eyes on Sienna, as they filled with tears. "We can't." She managed to say.

Klaus approached the group now. "About time, brother." Isaiah sassed, as the older Mikealson ignored him. "Hello, my lovelies. Are we ready?" He asked the trio.

━━━━━ ♥︎ ━━━━━

Sienna, Natasha and Jenna were still contained in the rings of fire, as Sienna continued to groan in pain. "Sienna!" Natasha called out. "Try to distract yourself." She suggested. "How?! How Elena?" Sienna suddenly snapped. "I am going to die.. and so are you both! Lexa and Jeremy are going to lose their family! My Aunt is going to lose her family! I can't think about anything else!"

Natasha felt for Sienna, she really did. She hated that Jenna and Sienna were going to die for this.

"The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?" Greta asked, as Klaus nodded, "I remember."

Greta dropped the moonstone into a stone bowl filled with flames. Sparks fly as the moonstone was destroyed. The witch began chanting a spell in Latin, as Klaus approached the rings of fire.

Sienna laid on the ground, groaning in pain. Natasha peered over at the girl, a guilty look on her face. "I'm going to die.." The Lockwood repeated, tears glistening her eyes again. She caught Natasha's eye, "Elena.. you and Jenna need to fight. Fight like hell to get out of here. Lexa and Jeremy need you." She insisted.

"Shall we?" Klaus asked as the ring of fire around Sienna dispersed. Sienna's eyes turn yellow and she used her werewolf speed to rush at Klaus.

Klaus instantly got the upper hand and pinned the Lockwood to the ground, plunging his hand into her chest and ripping out her heart. "No! Sienna!" Natasha cried out.

Sienna took her final breath, tears streaming down her face, before she died. Natasha and Jenna covered their mouths in complete shock, as they looked at the Lockwood's face that had been frozen in fear. Klaus breathed heavily as he held the bloody heart in his hands.

━━━━━ ♥︎ ━━━━━

Greta continued chanting a spell while Klaus held Sienna's heart over the ceremonial bowl, squeezing the blood into the flames. "Does that mean it's working?" Isaiah asked, standing nearby the bowl. Greta nodded, "It's working."

Jenna looked to Natasha, still unaware that it wasn't Elena. "The day that the lawyers called to tell me that I was going to become your guardian, you know what my first thought was? Isn't there someone else who can do this?" She admitted, feeling guilty. Natasha shook her head, "Jenna, there was no one else who could have gotten me, Lexa and Jeremy through all of that." The Petrova insisted, knowing that Jenna must have helped the three kids a lot.

"It's just the thought that I almost passed up taking care of you." Jenna admitted, tears streaming down her face. "But you didn't. You put your entire life on hold to help us." Natasha insisted. Jenna shook her head, "Look around, Elena. I failed you."

"No. You didn't. I failed you... I'm so sorry. Listen. Being a vampire, it intensifies your guilt. But it also makes you stronger and faster. You can fight back. I'm gonna get through this. I'll be okay. I need you to believe that. Promise me, when you get the chance..." Natasha placed a finger to her lips and whispered the next word. "Run." Jenna nodded before whispering, "Okay."

━━━━━ ♥︎ ━━━━━

"I don't recall you being on the guest list." Klaus said, as Stefan approached the group. Isaiah crossed his arms, thinking how strange it was for the Salvatore to show his face. "I'm here to talk." Stefan demanded. "Very well, then." Klaus decided, before he sped towards Stefan. "What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?"

Natasha listened in on their conversation, realising that Stefan wanted to take Jenna's place in the ritual. Before Stefan could plead anymore, Klaus shoved a large stake in his back. "Stefan! No!" Natasha yelled out. Klaus ripped the stake out of Stefan's back, leaving a sizable chunk of wood in his back.

"I have other plans for your boyfriend. I want him alive. But for now..." Klaus trailed off, snapping Stefan's neck causing him to fall, disgracefully, to the ground.

"Whenever you're ready, Greta." Isaiah said sarcastically, earning a slight glare from the witch. She began chanting the next part of the spell which dispelled the ring of fire surrounding Jenna. Jenna looked on, frightened. Natasha, teary-eyed, watched on.

"No!" Natasha demanded, before Jenna turned to her. "It's alright, Elena. I know what I have to do." Jenna declared, before she vamp sped to Greta and ferociously bit her neck, as the witch screamed.

Isaiah vamp sped over to Jenna and staked her in the back, pulling her off of Greta, who had fallen to the floor. Jenna gasped as Isaiah released her.

"Jenna, no!" Natasha cried out, watching as Elena and Lexa's aunt, took her last breath. Klaus sped over and staked her in the heart, making sure she was definitely dead. Isaiah then threw her lifeless body near Sienna's, after ripping out her heart.

Greta began chanting the next part of the spell, as Klaus and Isaiah were by her side. "It's time." Klaus announced, as the circle of fire disappeared from around Natasha.

Lexa, who had used magic to make herself invisible, finally approached the scene, but froze in shock as she found Jenna and Sienna's lifeless bodies. "No!" She cried out, before she raced to their sides. "No.. no no Aunt Jenna... Cece..." The doppelgänger fell to her knees, as she clutched Jenna's hand in her left, and Sienna's in her right. "This can't be real." The Gilbert sobbed, as she began to tremble.

It felt like time stopped, as she thought about her amazing Aunt Jenna who had practically become like a second mother to her. She couldn't be anymore grateful for the woman coming into their lives and helping them.

Then she thought about Sienna, her best friend and first healthy and serious relationship. Even if she wasn't in love with the Lockwood anymore, she still completely and utterly loved her.

The siphoner's breathing quickened, and tears continued to rush down her face before she let out a heart wrenching and pain filled scream, as magic sparks circled the trio. Lexa then broke down into continuous sobs, unable to control herself anymore.

Natasha reluctantly walked towards Klaus, who looked at her. "Thank you, Elena." The Mikealson said, as Natasha glared. "Go to hell." She snapped, before using magic, causing his head to seethe in absolute pain. Klaus cried out in pain. "This is for my family... this is for me and this is for Bekah." The heretic hissed, her Bulgarian accent coming through as she was prepared to make his head absolutely explode.

The girl suddenly froze in shock, as a stake was driven through her back, and into her heart. "Why don't you just shut the fuck up." Isaiah, who had stabbed her, growled.

"No— Natasha!" Lexa screamed out, as Isaiah let go of the girl. The Petrova's body fell to the ground, tears streaming down her face as she realised that she had failed. "You failed.. you're a complete failure!" Klaus growled, getting to his feet before he kicked the heretic harshly in the stomach, as her skin started to grey, indicating that she was dying.

Lexa took one last look at Jenna and Sienna, a overwhelming feeling of despair overcoming her, before she got to her feet, staring at the Mikealson with eyes full of rage and heartbreak.

"I need the doppelgänger! Where is she!?" Klaus yelled in complete anger, as he looked from Greta and Isaiah, to Stefan.

Lexa had fled the scene, and hidden to undo her invisibility spell. Once it was gone, she reappeared. "I'm here!" She called out. "Elena..." Klaus trailed off, a look of anger in his eyes. Lexa nodded, as tears kept streaming down her face. "No more tricks.. I promise. Just please, don't hurt anybody else! She pleaded.

Klaus vampire sped towards Lexa, not aware that it was the siphoner that he had began to develop feelings for. The Gilbert had dressed in Elena's clothes, prepared for this. This was Lexa's plan B.

"If you betray me ag—" Klaus began as Lexa cut him off, "I won't. I promise."

With that, Klaus dragged a still sobbing Lexa over towards the ceremonial bowl. The Gilbert stared out, blankly, as Klaus sunk his fangs into her neck and started to drain the siphoner of her blood.

She wanted to fight.. to siphon everything she could from Klaus... but she was done fighting. She didn't want anybody else to die, especially Elena. Stefan watched on, helplessly, as he couldn't get to his feet to help her.

Klaus held Lexa tightly as his eyes started to sprout more veins. The siphoner's eyelids fluttered closed and her eyes rolled into the back of her head as everything faded into complete darkness.
