She turned to him finding no harm in just telling him her name. She was hoping to never see him again so it shouldn't matter.

"Isabel."

"Nice to meet you, Bel. My name's Niklaus but I go by Klaus." Before she properly comprehends that this was a Mikaelson, she was put to sleep with a spell by Maddox and Klaus caught her. "Sweet dreams, my Queen," he said as he carried her in his arms to his car.

•|•

Stefan -intent on finding Klaus- enters Alaric's apartment and notices Katherine sitting on the bed.

"Hello, Katherine." He greets.

Katherine gets up from the bed and angrily says, "Two days, I've been waiting. I'm supposed to be free of Klaus' compulsion by now. He's supposed to be dead!"

Stefan sighs. "We ran into complications."

She scoffs. "Complications?"

"Doesn't really matter. I just need to find him. Do you have any idea where he might be?" He asks.

She doesn't get to anser before she pushes him against the wall and motions for him to be quiet. Klaus and Elijah, then walk through the door.

She turns her faces and looks at the two men. "Klaus, you're back. Look who decided to come for a visit."

Klaus sighs as he looks at his former best friend. "You just keep popping up, don't you?"

"I need your help...for my brother." Stefan replied.

"Well, whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait a tick. You see, I have an obligation to my brother that requires my immediate attention." Klaus informs him with a smirk planted on his face. Klaus took out his phone and hurriedly checked the person he texted earlier and sighed in relief.

She's fine. And as soon as you want. -M

Elijah turns to Stefan, steps forward, and says, "You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own."

"And so I shall." Niklaus promises as Elijah turns to face his brother, only to be stabbed in the heart with the dagger he has grown accustomed to. Katherine and Stefan watched as Klaus dug the dagger deeper into Elijah's heart, shushing him with an amused glint in his eyes as his brother began to dessicate.

Looking up at Stefan with a deadly look in his eyes, Klaus sped over and pinned the younger vampire against the wall. "Now, what am I gonna do with you?" He asks pushing a stake through Stefan's chest. Stefan groans and buckles forward but Klaus holds him up. "Do you feel that?" He asks as Stefan struggles to breathe. "It's scraping against your heart. The slightest little movement and you're dead."

Katherine panics a little for her former lovers life and says, "He's just trying to help his brother."

"The witches said you had a cure." Stefan looked up at the Original with pain filled pleading eyes. "Make me a deal. Just give me the cure, and I'll do whatever you want." Stefan promises the hybrid. He'd do anything to help his brother survive even if he had to make a deal with the devil.

Klaus takes the stake out making Stefan fall to the floor. Klaus walks over to the counter, puts the dagger on it, and pours himself a glass of blood.

"Trouble is I don't know if you'd be any good to me the way you are now. You are just shy of useless."

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Stefan is still on the floor. Klaus has a glass of blood in his hands and crouches down to speak to him while Katherine watches nereby.

Klaus smirks. "I heard about this one vampire, crazy bloke, always on and off the wagon for decades. When he was off, he was magnificent. 1917, he went into Monterrey and wiped out an entire migrant village...A true ripper." Stefan lowered his head in realization. "Sound familiar?"

"I haven't been that way in a very long time." Stefan replies as Klaus stood up form his position.

"Well, that's the vampire I can make a deal with. That is the kind of talent that I can use when I leave this town." Klaus informs him as Stefan stands up.

"Katerina, come here." He orders her. Katherine walks closer and as he takes her arm he quickly changes his face, his eyes are yellow with vampire eyes. He brings his face down and bites into the dopplegangers neck.

"Aah! No. No...No. No. No." Katherine panics, fearing for her life.

Nik then bites his own wrist and makes Katherine drink his blood. Her wound heals fast and Klaus smirks as he looks at Stefan.

"You want your cure?" Klaus asked Stefan. "There it is."

"Your blood is the cure," Stefan says awestruck. He wished it could have been anything else because if it was he could get the cure easier but if Klaus' blood was the cure he would have to go to him.

"Gotta love Mother Nature," Klaus says with his famous Mikaelson smirk. Klaus placed his hand on Stefan's shoulder. "Now...Let's talk, you and I."

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

Klaus squeezes a knife blade tightly, and blood begins to pour out from his hand into and into a vial.

Stefan watches him as Katherine is in retreat, looking at them.

"There it is. You want to save your brother? How 'bout a decade-long bender?" Nik asked. "And I have big plans for you when we leave this town."

"I'm not like that anymore," Stefan says shaking his head.

Klaus sighed. "Well, that's too bad. You would have made a hell of a wingman. Plus you could have made great company for your little pregnant friend. Isabella is it? Oh well." He starts pouring the blood down the sink.

"Wait," Stefan says quickly after hearing his friend -who is heavily pregnant- is with Klaus.

Nik immediately stops pouring the blood hearing his objection. "Now that's more like it. I want you to join me for a drink," Nik says as he throws him a blood bag along the counter.

Stefan hesitantly took the blood bag, tore the top off, and placed it onto his lips. Slowly he began to drink it as Nik watches with his own blood.

"Finish it." Klaus ordered. "All of it. You do everything I say, and I save your brother. That's the deal." Stefan drinks all of it. Klaus throws him another blood bag. "Again," he says happily staring at the ripper.

Stefan rips into it, hungrily gulping down the blood, slowly losing his self control.

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

There are four emptied blood bags on the floor. Stefan is sitting on the floor finishing drinking another one. He grunts, and looks up at Klaus who is standing nearby, with a satisfied look on his face.

"You're very cooperative." Nik mused. "It's almost as if you're enjoying it." He commented smugly. He throws another blood bag on the floor next to Stefan.

"No more. Not until you give me the cure." Stefan forces out as he breaths heavily.

Klaus' smirk drops. "Not until we make a deal." Klaus refuses. "It's your choice, Stefan. You can either remain here living your life in Mystic Falls, or you can embrace what you truly are, leave town with me, and save your brother's life."

Klaus crouches down, picks up the blood bag and offers it to Stefan. Stefan snatches it from his hand and drinks vigorously.

"That's the spirit." He takes the vial with his blood and looks at Katherine. "Sweetheart..." He compels her. "Take this over to Damon and come right back." Stefan looks up in shock.

"You want me to leave?" Katherine asks eagerly.

"No." Stefan refuses knowing she has vervain in her system and would never give it to his brother or come back. That's who she was and always would be.

"Yes and if I were you..." She vamp speeds to him, takes the vial, and rushes out the door at super speed again. "I'd hurry."

He sits down in a chair and welcomes the satisfied look back on his face knowing there was a possibilty she wouldn't take it to him.

"She'll never take it to him." Klaus cocks his head in a gesture of indifference. Stefan looks down and whispers to himself,

"She'll never take it to him."

≪≫•≪≫•≪≫

When Isabel was handed over to Nik he put her in his car. He had her wrapped up in a blanket and immediately got ready and in action to leave. She still slept seeing as the spell would take a while to wear off and for her to wake.

Meanwhile, Elijah is lying in a coffin as Klaus watches over him. Two men are stand nearby as they fill crates in a warehouse.

"I suppose, brother, you've been reunited with our family." He closes the coffin and looks at the two men. "Put him with the others. We're leaving town tonight."

Due to the compulsion they obey his command and put him with other coffins.

Stefan is standing nearby and receives a text reading,

Damon's okay. Where R U? -E

"So...Did Katerina make it in time?" Nik questions.

"You won't be seeing her again, you know," Stefan says referring to Katherine on vervain.

"Because she's on vervain?" Klaus asked. "I've been around a long time, Stefan. I rarely get played for a fool. Besides, she won't get far. You'll help me see to that."

Stefan walks up to him. "What is it you really want from me? And why do you have Izzy?" He asks.

"I need to keep Bel near me and protect her. The rest will be explained in time. Once we leave this tragic little town."

"Then are we done here? Can we go?" he asks in a hurry to get Nik away from his ressurected girlfriend.

"Not quite. You see, I have a gift for you."

"Come here, sweetheart. Don't be afraid." Hearing him a girl walks over from behind a crate. Klaus looks from her to Stefan. "See, I wanna make sure you honor our deal...that you'll be of use to me." He bites into the girl's neck and drinks her blood. "I could have compelled her to behave, but a real ripper enjoys the hunt."

Klaus releases the frightened girl and she runs away, screaming. Stefan runs after her, and the second he catches her he bites her and drinks her blood until she's dead.

Klaus looks at him, thrilled.

"Now we can go."

I'm in school right this second. But uh I love seeing comments it always makes me smile. I don't ask for them but I do love them. It makes me feel good.
