"You are so lucky I love you." Claire grumbles walking over to her sister. "Why do we have to be here so early?" Claire complains.

"I don't know, that's just how it is" Caroline told her as they walked towards the Rebekah who is standing by the doors. "Where's Matt?" Caroline asked Rebekah.

"He bailed. Got called into work at the last minute" Rebekah said.

"Are you kidding me? So, it's just us?" Caroline complained.

"Yes, tell me about it." Rebekah rolls her eyes. "I couldn't even get Asher out of bed this morning."

"I couldn't get Kol to wake up. Boy has stamina but takes a while to recharge." Caroline rolls her eyes laughing while Rebekah cringes.

"Do any of them know where you are?" Caroline asked her.

"Elijah and Finn were the only ones awake. I was taking care of Madelyn when I told them I was going to hang out with you and Bekah." Claire told them. "I had to get out of there before Kol managed to wake up. If I didn't, I wouldn't be here right now."

"Why don't we just get started?" Rebekah suggested not wanting to hear about Claire's sex life with her brothers. "I'm gonna start in the gym" Rebekah said walking into the high school.

"These parties are always fun.. I miss being too hungover to help you clean up." Claire mutters. Caroline laughs as they start throwing things away. Suddenly Caroline tenses. "What?"

"Something's wrong. Siphon from me" Caroline said quickly. Claire didn't bother asking questions. Once Claire had more than enough magic, Caroline raced them inside. She let go of Claire and rushed toward Alaric who was about to stab Rebekah with the white oak stake. Claire raises her hand and pins Alaric against the lockers, Rebekah grabs the stake and stabs Alaric with it. Claire releases him. All three of them are shocked to see Alaric pull the stake out.

Caroline grabs her sister and the three of them disappear. Rebekah branches away from them. Caroline and Claire stop outside of the car. Claire screams as Alaric breaks Caroline's neck. He holds Caroline against his body and holds a stake over her heart.

"Don't!" Claire shouts panicked.

"Come or I kill her" Claire tries to give him an aneurysm. He winces but shakes it off. "I got a little protection spell over me, sweetheart." Alaric smirks. He starts to dig the stake into Caroline.

"Don't! Please! Don't hurt her!" Claire begs.

"Put this on" He said tossing a bracelet to her. She looks at him hesitantly. She didn't know what the bracelet is for or what it would do. However, before she could contemplate it a hand grabs her wrist and clamps the bracelet on her wrist. Claire quickly looks up and sees a familiar redhead smiling down at her.

"Miss me?" Sage asks smirking. Alaric smirks and pulls Caroline into the school. Sage grabs the back of Claire's neck and pulls her into the school behind Alaric.

"I thought you had left town." Claire muttered wincing at Sage's harsh grip.

"I did for a while but then the opportunity presented itself. I help Alaric. Alaric gets a witch to sever the sire line from Finn sparing him and me but killing the rest of the line." Sage explains.

"What?" Claire asks not understanding a thing that came out of her mouth. Sage just smirks and throws her into a seat beside her sister.

"I help Alaric, I get Finn. Understand that? Princess?" She asks tilting her head. Claire glares at her but Sage just smirks back at her.

Claire cries out as Alaric stabs two pencils in each of Caroline's hands. Caroline wakes up crying. He then ties a cloth dipped with vervain around her mouth.

"Please, stop." Claire begs Alaric. He doesn't listen to her as he picks up two more pencils.

"Can I do it?" Sage asks. Alaric shrugs and hands them to her. Claire's eyes widened as she walked over. Alaric holds her hands down.

"No, no, no, no" Claire says trying to fight against Alaric.

"I love it when they beg" Sage whispers smirking. She slowly pushes the pencils into her hands. Claire screams, cries and begs for mercy but Sage's smirk only deepens.

"Why?" Claire cried. "Why are we here? What are you doing?" She sobs.

"Caroline is here for Elena bait and you are here for Mikaelson bait." Alaric said as if it summed everything up. Claire could hardly comprehend what he said, the pain is too immense. She looks at Caroline, the both of them in extreme pain, crying.

"It's going to be ok" Claire whimpers. "We'll get out of this." She promises.

"Is that what you told Jenna?" Claire looks at him. "When you let Klaus kill her?"

"I didn't know Jenna was being used for the ritual until it was too late." Claire told him desperately trying to keep her voice steady. "I wanted to save her and I'm sorry I couldn't." Tears slip down her face as she remembers Jenna.

"I don't believe you" Alaric shakes his head. "I don't trust a woman who is fucking the Mikaelson's." He snapped. Alaric punches her across the jaw. "The world would be better off without you. You're a vampire sympathizer, vampire fucker and their own personal blood bag" He said. "My job is to kill the Mikaelson's which will destroy every vampire ever made."

"What?" Claire whispers. What he had told her is similar to what Sage had said, she still didn't understand. Alaric smirks.

"What? You didn't know?" He laughs. "When an Original dies, their entire sire line dies with them. A little something the Original Witch told me and I just happen to know which sire line your sister is in." Claire looks at Caroline, both of them crying furiously.

Panic settles in Claire. Not only could Alaric kill her mates but if her mates die, their sire line dies, which means Caroline. Claire knew Alaric wasn't going to Kill Caroline right now. He wanted to drag it out, he wanted to scare them and it was working.

"So, I am going to hurt you." He said looking at Claire. "I'm going to hurt you badly because that is going to weaken your mates and then I'm going to kill them which will eventually kill Caroline. And you'll be alone.. that is if you live to see the end of the day." He smirks.

"Save for Finn, right" Sage growls.

"Yeah, yeah" Alaric waves not caring about her nor Finn. He wasn't planning on sparing anybody. He was just amusing Sage cause he knew her presence would annoy Claire. "Poor, poor Madelyn."

"You leave my daughter alone" Claire cried trying to sound strong but her hands are throbbing so painfully along with her jaw.

"Oh, look at you" Alaric grips her chin. "As if you have any power to make demands." He grins. "Right on time" He says suddenly. Alaric moves away from them.

"Caroline, Claire" Elena gasped walking towards them. They may not be friends anymore but Elena didn't want this to happen to them, they didn't deserve this. "Let them go, Alaric!" Elena snapped.

"Free them yourself." Alaric said pointing to them. Elena turns around and goes to Claire.

"He wants to kill them." Claire cries. "Elena, if he succeeds their entire sire line will die with them." She whispers. Elena frowns her eyebrows not quite understanding. Claire hoped that by telling her this they would stop trying to attack her mates. If they knew that if one of the Mikaelson's died a whole sire line dies with them, then it would be what keeps her mates safe.

Elena pulls tries to pull the pencil's house but Sage appears behind her and slams them back in. Claire screams. Caroline growls through her cries wanting nothing more than to save her sister but the vervain is weakening her.

"You said that you would let them go!" Elena shouted to Alaric. Sage walks behind Claire enjoying the view of her in so much pain.

"You know Finn is never going to go for you" Claire mutters. She was hoping to rile Sage up enough to invoke an attack which would force Alaric to kill her, one less problem to worry about.

"How many times do I have to tell you, Elena? Stop trusting vampires!" Alaric shouted back. But Claire and Sage weren't paying attention.

"He hasn't even mated with you, do you really think you're that special to him?" Sage whispers in her ear. "You are nothing. He'll be over you in a week." She whispers.

"At least it wasn't me he was telling to get lost after waiting for him for 900 years" Claire mutters. Sage growls wrapping her hand around Claire's throat.

"You do not get to talk to me like that." She snapped tightening her grip. Claire struggles unable to breath. Sage smirks happy to have her life in her hand, literally. Before she could end Claire, she is thrown off.

"Control yourself or I will kill you." Alaric warned. Sage glares at him but nods. Alaric lets her go but keeps an eye on her. "Why don't we give the Mikaelson's a little taste of what you're feeling." Alaric suggests.

"No, please" Claire shakes her head. She didn't want her mates to feel her pain. The pain is horrible and she wanted to spare them of it. However, it was her chance to give them her location.

Alaric takes off her bracelet and instantly the Mikaelson's, the ones that are mated to her, feel everything she's feeling. She knows she doesn't have a lot of time so she sends a mental message to Kol. Kol is the first one that came to her mind, their bond is the freshest.

Alaric has me and Caroline at the high school. Please help.

Claire desperately wanted to say more but Alaric put the bracelet back on silencing the bond. He then goes over to Caroline and takes off the cloth. He redips it in the vervain.

"No, no more, please, no more." Caroline begs.

"Alaric stop!" Elena snapped standing up. Alaric simply pushes her back down.

"Sit down! This keeps the vervain in her system. It's like inhaling razor blades with every breath." Claire watches helplessly as she wheezes for breath. Sage managed to make it very difficult for her to breath. She could feel herself getting light headed from the lack of sufficient oxygen.

"Why are you doing this?" Elena asks.

"To make it easier on you when you put her out of her misery." Claire looks at him instantly. She didn't think he'd kill or have Caroline killed. She thought he'd leave her for later. She desperately prays that her makes get here and get here soon.

"What? No!" Elena shouted.

"Isn't this what you wanted, Elena? For me to teach you how to kill a vampire?" Alaric asks. He holds out the white oak stake. "Well, here' a vampire, Elena. Kill her."

"This isn't what I want." Elena tells him.

"Of course it is. All those hours you spent training, getting stronger, you could be a hunter, Elena. But you've never actually staked a vampire through the heart." Alaric notes.

"Why are you doing this?" Elena asks again.

"Because you need me. Because you're an 18 year old girl without parents or guidance or any sense of right and wrong anymore." Alaric said.

"Look at you. How is this right?!" Elena shouted.

"She's a murderer. She told me she killed someone and liked it" Alaric snapped pointing to Caroline. "Now how is that right? Listen, Elena, your parents led the council. It was their life's mission to keep this town safe. They weren't dead six months before you undid it all."

"You don't know anything about them." Elena snipped.

"Why, am I wrong? Do you actually think that they'd be proud of you? If you don't side with the humans, you're just as bad as her" He said pointing to Claire, who is barely conscious. "Now hill her" He hands her the stake.

"Don't please, don't kill my sister, please don't." Claire cries shifting in her seat. Sage holds her down roughly. Claire cries out as Sage's fingers draw blood from her shoulders.

"I'll do it if you don't" Alaric warns. "And I'll make it hurt. Get up!" Alaric snapped pulling Elena up from her seat. Sage grips Claire's head and forced her to watch. Elena stands in front of Caroline with the stake. Suddenly, she whips around and tries to stab Alaric with it. "I thought I taught you better than that" He looks at her disappointed.

"You did" Elena nods breaking a beaker filled with vervain over his head. Alaric screams and Elena goes to Caroline. Sage flashes in front of her. Claire cries out as she lifts her hands off of the pencils. She rips the bracelet off and reaches for Sage.

"Free Caroline!" Claire snapped as Sage fell to her knees screaming as Claire siphoned from her. Elena nods and releases Caroline. Sage passes out but Claire knows she won't be down long.

"Go! Get help!" Elena shouted knowing they wouldn't hurt her. Caroline scoops Claire up and speeds out of the room. She slows to a stop when she realizes Elena wasn't following her. In a heart beat Claire is out of her arms and someone and holding her mouth shut.

"Shh, it's ok, it's ok, it's me" Klaus whispers in Caroline's ear. Caroline relaxes recognizing Klaus and Kol, who is holding Claire tightly. "We'll take care of Claire and get rid of Alaric, you go straight home. Stay inside, do you understand?" Klaus asks turning her to him.

"Thank you" She whispers. He nods. She turns to Claire.

"She'll be alright" Kol assures her as he feeds Claire his blood. Caroline nods. "Go." Caroline sighs before disappearing.

"Take her home, we'll deal with Alaric" Kol nods not even caring that he'll be missing out on a good fight. Klaus moves closer to her. "I'm so sorry this happened, sweetheart" He whispers.

"You couldn't have known" She whispers. She lifts the bracelet they made her wear. Klaus and Kol look at it. "It silenced the bond. You couldn't feel anything I was feeling. I couldn't reach out. The only way I could was because he took it off so you could feel what I was feeling."

"Go home" He whispers caressing her face. "Stay with Kol." He says. "Please." He adds. She smiles slightly.

"I love you" She tells him. He smiles kissing her lightly. "He had an indestructible white oak stake, please be careful" She cries. He wipes her tears.

"I'll be fine but you need to leave now." He says. He kisses her forehead before speeding away.

"Come on, Darling, lets get out of here." He scoops her up and speeds them home.
