"Hey, Elena" Claire said walking up to her during school. It had been two day since Claire's met Hanna. Last night the Australian had sent her a text saying the spell has been lifted which meant when Klaus went to bed, he dreamed about her. Which would lead him to Mystic Falls, to Elena.

"Hey, Claire" Elena smiled at her. She felt bad for everything that's been going on and hated the feeling like she was on opposite sides with Claire. Claire, however, knew where Elena stood and knew that it wasn't the same place as herself.

"Can I talk to you? Alone?" She asked glancing down the hall seeing Stefan watching them. Elena follows her gaze looking at Stefan as well.

"Uh, yeah, sure" Elena nods and the two of them walk away. Stefan watches but doesn't do anything.

"Did you know it was possible for twins to have two different fathers?" Claire asked her as they sat on the bleachers by the football field.

"I never really thought about it." Elena shifted in her seat.

"Well, it's possible. Bill, Caroline's father... He's not my biological dad." Elena's eyes widened slightly. "A man named Noah South is. He's a very powerful witch which explains how I am the way I am." Claire told her.

"Wow, have you met him?" Elena asked. "When did you find out?"

"I found out when Damon and Stefan had my mom in their cellar. When she found out about them being vampires. She told me then. She also told me that he died in a bar fight a few years back."

"I'm so sorry" Elena said reaching over resting a comforting hand on Claire's arm. Claire smiled at her friend and for a second, she forgets about all the supernatural troubles and drama. For a second it was just two best friends sitting on the bleachers. But they weren't just two best friends on bleachers, not anymore. There're too many other factors around them for things to be so simple anymore.

"I met his wife, a very lovely lady. Her names Hanna, she's a witch as well." Claire said. Elena slowly retracted her hand sensing the tone in her voice was anything other than friendly. "You see, when I was young, my father saw a glimpse into my future. Specificity my future with the Mikaelson's. He didn't like what he saw so he casts a spell. As you already know, I dreamed about them my entire life but the spell prevented them from having any knowledge of me. As of yesterday the spell as been lifted."

"What does this mean?" Elena asked slowly.

"It means Klaus knows about me." Claire said. "When I had dreams of them, it was snippets of their lives. I'm sure he's seen snippets of my life. It could be anything. It could be of me and Caroline playing in the back yard. It could be me at Mystic Falls High School. It could be of me and my best friend Elena Gilbert." Elena's eyes widened as she realizes what Claire has said.

"Klaus knows I'm alive" Elena whispers. 

"And where we live" Claire added.

"Why would you do that?" Elena whispered feeling betrayed.

"Because I'm putting my life, my happiness before your own." Claire told her. "Elena, you're my best friend. I've told you multiple times I'd do anything to prevent you from dying, all I wanted was Elijah but you wouldn't give him to me. Klaus is coming Elena, sooner or later he will be here for you, for us. So head my warning. Let Elijah go and he will help you survive, I'll make sure of it. If you don't, Klaus will kill you and there'll be no saving you." Claire explained. "I've already asked politely, I didn't want it to go like this but I don't have a choice. One way or another, I am going to get Elijah. So give him to me before you end up dead." She warns before standing up. She climbed down the bleachers, Elena watching her the entire time.

Claire had hoped Elena would automatically give her Elijah but she didn't. Instead, Elena went straight to the Salvatore brothers. Elena told them all about what Claire had done, about Claire's threat. While Stefan was upset, he could justify her actions, he could understand why she had done it. Damon on the other hand was less than understanding.

So, while Claire was walking to her car after spending some time with Caroline at the Grill a few days later, Damon stopped by. At least he had the decency to wait until Madelyn was secure in the car before wrapping his hand around her throat and slamming her against the brick wall beside the car.

"You think you can just threaten Elena and get away with it, Shortcake?" Damon snipped glaring at her. "Sending Klaus clues on where Elena is, bitchy move. I might just rip Elijah's heart out for that little stunt." Damon threatened.

Anger flared in her heart. All Claire could see was rage, pure rage. Damon tightened his grip around her throats making it absolutely impossible to breath. He smirked smugly as he could see her anger but she was helpless against his strength.

"I'm going to tell you what you're going to do and you're going to do it like a good little girl. You're going to find a way to keep Klaus away from Mystic Falls, away from Elena. Then you're going to apologize and beg her Elena's forgiveness. Then maybe I won't kill Elijah." Damon shrugs. "But who knows."

Claire gripped Damon's wrist with both of her hands. She gripped him tightly. He didn't notice it at first but then the pain became unbearable. He cried out as she siphoned from him. His hand released her throat and she gasped for breath. He fell to his knees, completely powerless against her as she continued to siphon him.

"I should kill you for ever laying a hand on me" Claire growled, her voice hoarse from Damon practically closing her windpipe. "I should suck the life out of you for keeping Elijah from me, for threatening him." She tightened her grip on him.

Claire wanted to kill Damon. She couldn't remember wanting anything so badly. All her anger she's ever felt towards him came to the surface. It started with him using and abusing Caroline when she was human to almost killing Caroline when she was first turned into a vampire. Now he's threatening Elijah and almost killing her.

"Angel" Claire doesn't hear his voice at first. Her glare resting firmly on a dying Damon. "Angel look at me, please." A hand gently cups Claire's chin, turning her head towards the man. Claire releases a soft gasp as she locks eyes with him. Her anger practically disappears replaced with a sense of calmness and peace. "Let him go, you're not a killer, don't do this." He pleads. Finally able to think clearly, Claire releases Damon in time. 

The dark haired vampire collapses on his back and gasps for breath. Claire may have been beyond angry with Damon but her beloved Henrik was right, she isn't a killer and she didn't want to cross that line.

"How foolish of you to forget how powerful I am" Claire whispers to Damon as he slowly begins to heal himself. "Now, I'm going to tell you what you're going to do and you're going to do it like a good little boy." She tells him in a patronizing tone. "You have two options. Get Bonnie to drop the spell around the house and let me get Elijah myself or you're going to give me Elijah yourself and all will be well again."

"Bonnie doesn't have her magic" Damon groans out. Claire's eyes widened not knowing this. "Guess you're not as close as you thought, huh?" Damon smirks smugly happy her got the last word in before he disappeared.

Claire lets him go, not that she could have run him down anyways. She leaned against the brick wall in shock. When did Bonnie lose her magic? Claire thinks to herself. Why didn't she tell me? She questions. Well, it's not like we're on the best of terms at the moment.

"Angel?" Henrik instantly regains Claire's attention. She lights up and smiles brighter than she has in days. She instantly leaps into his arms and plants her lips on his. He smiles against her lips holding her as close to him as possible.

"How much time do we have?" She whispers dreading the answer.

"Not nearly enough, my darling Angel." Henrik whispers regretfully.

"I have a plan" She tells him. "You'll be in my arms for real, real soon" She promises.

"I look forward to that day" Henrik smiles. He relishes the feeling of her in his arms. He presses his lips on her forehead hugging her tightly. "I love you so much, Angel." Henrik whispers. "Oh, so much." 

"I love you so much more" Claire mumbles against his lips.

"Not possible my sweet Angel." Henrik whispers to her. They pull away and his eyes dart to her neck. His jaw clenches as his fingers brush against the bruise. She winces slightly. "You may not be a killer Angel, but I'm going to end him when I get the change" Henrik growls furiously.

"That is if you get there before Elijah" Claire said knowing it was inevitable, Elijah would find out about this instant.

"Make sure you get Caroline to heal you." Henrik said. Claire nodded not wanting to argue with her. "So beautiful" Henrik whispers grazing his knuckles on her cheek. "I love you" He whispers before kissing her. Claire smiles into the kiss, holding him close to her.

She can feel him fading through the kiss and their hold on each other grows more desperate. Claire can feel tears streaming down her cheeks. She couldn't bare the thought of losing him, not after Elijah has been taken from her but she didn't have a choice. 

"I love you" Henrik whispers the second before he disappears. Claire covers her mouth trying to stop the sob from being released. She sniffled loudly and desperately tried to pull herself together. Once she had a hold of herself, enough to drive home, she got into the car and got herself and Madelyn home safely.

"You threatened Elena?!" Caroline shouted barging into her sisters room.

"Lower your voice" Claire snapped. "I just got her to fall asleep." Claire grumbled tiredly as the clock neared midnight. The two sisters go into the living room. 

"What is wrong with you?" Caroline asked crossing her arms. "Since when do we threaten our friends?"

"What's wrong with me!?" Claire snapped glaring at her sister. "All I want, all I asked for was Elijah! That's all I want, Caroline! That's all I need! I need Elijah and they're keeping him from me!" Claire screamed. "I can't sleep. I can barely keep myself together. I feel so lost without him. I have Damon trying to kill me. I have my father's side of the family trying to come into my life. I have a daughter to raise. I am doing my best but I'm falling apart, Caroline!" Claire screamed tears falling down her face. "All I wanted was Elijah" Claire whimpers. "What is so hard about that?"

Caroline's face softens and she speeds to her sister holding her tightly. Claire sobs into her sisters shoulder. Caroline rubs her back soothingly. She whispers encouraging words into her ear trying to calm her down.

"I'll help you" Caroline whispers. "I'll help you get Elijah back. I'll do whatever you need, just talk to me."

"You would go against Elena, Bonnie, Damon and Stefan?" Claire asked pulling away from her sister.

"For you? In a heartbeat" Caroline said. "I just wish there wasn't sides to take."

"There didn't have to be. I told them I would help them keep Elena safe, that Elijah would keep Elena safe. But their the ones who drew the line and their the ones who put me on the opposite side." Claire explained to her.

"Well, they should have counted on me being on the opposite side because we're a package deal, remember?" Caroline said raising her pinkie. "BTBFF?" Claire smiles through the tears and links their pinkies.

"BTBFF" Claire nods and the two sisters press their foreheads together. "I love you Care-bear"

"I love you two, Baby Face" Caroline mutters. They smile at each other and hug tightly.
