005 Secrets

Previously...

Klaus rushes towards Stiles picking him up by his neck and crushing his wind pipe. "You're ruining my plan just for some pathetic teenagers. I should dagger you right here, right now."

Stiles grabbed Klaus' hand before twisting it and rounding a kick to Klaus' abdomen. "Build a bridge and get over it, Nik. The villain always loses."

Elena watches as the siblings bicker and argue. Klaus has another brother who was exactly like Elijah yet looked so innocent. She wondered how a guy like him still stand by a monster like Klaus. Family is important, it's our greatest weakness. A voice said in her mind. Rebekah looks over at Elena. "Take a picture, it'll last longer." She said noticing the way she was staring at Stiles.

"Enough! Rebekah, take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you?" Klaus ordered. Rebekah rolls her eyes before dragging Tyler by his arm and exits the gym. Klaus looked at Stiles and then to Elena. "Ignore Stiles. Petty little thing."

Now...

"Klaus, this is absurd." Stiles huffed and paced around the gym. "If you really think killing Elena and her friends will break your curse, it won't."

Klaus raises a brow before a smirk made it's way on to his face, "what? Maybe you actually fancy one of them, don't you think? Elena seems like the right girl for you, considering she is Katerina's doppelganger. You always had a thing for pretty brunettes." Klaus responded.

"Don't bring it up, Nik. It's bad that my anger issues is becoming worse." Stiles warned him before sighing in defeat. His brother was never going to stop for the sake of his brother, it was something he and Klaus shared. Stubborn and manipulative. It was a bad combination since they were a thousand years old, one was a hybrid and one an Original Ripper with bad anger issues.

Elena was already comforting Dana, trying to be oblivious that she was listening in on their conversation. Key word 'tried'. Stefan comes in and looks over at Klaus. "Stefan," Elena said.

"Klaus," Stefan says ignoring Elena.

"Come to save your damsel in distress, mate?" Klaus asked.

Stiles rolls his eyes, relaxing against the wall. So this was the Stefan Salvatore that he heard about, well, once.

"I came to ask for your forgiveness. And pledge my loyalty." Stefan said reluctantly. Stiles grew curious about the certain vampire ripper standing in front of both Klaus and Elena. Was he really going to be Klaus' bitch? Pathetic, even for a hundred year old Vampire like Stefan.

Klaus replies. "Well, you broke that pledge once already."

"Elena means nothing to me, anymore," from a mile away, anyone could smell that lie. Or was it hear? Or detect? He was spending too much time with werewolves. It was seriously growing on him. "and whatever you ask of me... I will do." Bad choice, Stefan. If you have actually met Klaus, consider him the back stabbing hybrid he always was. Stiles thought to himself. It wasn't really surprising that Stefan hasn't seen him yet, he was as stealthy as a well... a vampire.

"Fair enough. Let's drink on it." Klaus said meaning someone was gonna die. He points to Chad and Dana. "Kill them. What are you waiting for? Kill them."

"No! Stefan, don't. He's not going to hurt me. He already said..."

Never believe what a monster says, Elena. Stiles countered in his head before stepping forward seeing where this drama will end up. Klaus was already on his way to Elena, hitting her that she flies about three feet away from them. Stefan rushed over but Klaus wraps his hand around his throat. Stiles was quite impressed, he would've went to Elena and helped her but that was least of his worries. The real problem was Klaus' slave. "She means nothing to you?" Klaus asked, "your lies just keep piling up."

"Let her go! I'll do whatever you want, you have my word!" Stefan chokes out.

"Your word doesn't mean much. I lived by your word all summer, during which time I never had to resort to this." Klaus looks into his eyes, his own dilating. "Stop fighting."

"Don't do this, don't do this." Stefan pleads.

Stiles, again, rolled his eyes so hard, he might've pulled an eye muscle. "I didn't want to. All I wanted was your allegiance. Now I'm going to have to take it." Klaus said.

"Don't, don't."

Klaus compels him once more. "You will do exactly as I say when I say it. You will not run, you will not hide, you will simply just obey."

And Stiles couldn't believe it. Elena's friend will all sacrifice or risk themselves to protect Elena. He doesn't even have friends like that and it makes him envy Elena... Wait a minute, is this why Klaus was threatening them? Trying to kill them? Everything clicked in his head. Klaus wants to break the curse and release his wolf side. He wants to make more hybrids because not only was Klaus a vampire but a wolf. And a wolf without a Pack is an Omega. Klaus wants to make more of his kind so he won't feel lonely...

Or maybe because it was just for the power.

"No, Stefan!" Elena calls out for him.

"Now kill them. Ripper," the words tumble out from his mouth in a venomous, triumphant sound.

Stefan vamps out before speeding over to Dana. He sees as Elena gives him the famous 'please help him' look. He sighs and before Stefan could sink his teeth in Dana's neck, he clamps his hand on both sides of his head. "Not today," Stiles said before snapping the young Ripper's neck. "That was a little farfetched, don't you think, Nik?" Stiles glares at Klaus who looked unimpressed at him.

"YOU'RE RUINING MY PLAN!" Klaus voice booms loudly in the gym and through the school halls.

"I know why you're doing this, Klaus. I'm not stupid," Stiles scoffed.

Caroline wakes up on the cold hard floor with Rebekah sitting down, her back against a pillar. Rebekah has her phone in her hand, clearly impressed by the electronic device in her hand. Rebekah speaks; "We didn't have mobile telephones in my day. Would have made life a whole lot easier, I suppose." Rebekah holds up her phone before taking a picture of herself.

"Where's Tyler?" Was Caroline's first question.

"He's dead. Ish." She said.

Caroline spots her boyfriend lying behind her. "What did you do to him?"

"Think of it as he's having a nap. When he wakes up, he'll become a hybrid." She says it like its the most normal thing for her and sometimes, Caroline wonders about their victims.

Caroline lays her head on Tyler's chest, her ear hovering over trying to find a heartbeat. Rebekah pays no attention as she's scrolling through the pics and sees Stefan and Elena's picture. "Ugh. Vomit." She retorted disgustedly. Then she widens the picture around Elena's neck. The necklace was around her neck. "Is that my neck..." She stands up and looks down at Caroline. "Why is that doppelganger bitch wearing my necklace?" Rebekah yells.

Stefan groans and wakes up before the compulsion hits him hard and he vamps out before feeding on Chad. "Stefan!" Elena shrieks.

"It's always nice to see a vampire in his true element. The species has become such a broody lot. I think you can relate, Stiles. It'd be nice to see you just let loose." Klaus tells both him and Elena.

Stiles narrows his eyes at Klaus, "never gonna happen." He crosses his arms around his chest and sees as Stefan goes ripper style on Chad.

"You did this to him," Elena said.

"I invited him to the party, love. He's the one dancing on the table. It's pretty clear that both my brother and your lover has many many similarities and one of them being a soft murderer." Klaus said. Rebekah marches towards them and speeds over to Elena.

"Where is it?! Where's my necklace?" She shouts and Stiles tilts his head.

"What are you talking about?" Stiles asked curiously.

Rebekah looks at Stiles with anger written on her face. "She has my necklace. Look!" She shoves him the phone and Stiles sees the old amulet that Esther gave Rebekah around Elena's neck. Stiles curses under his breath before holding Rebekah back from attacking Elena.

"Well, well. More lies," Klaus turns towards Elena.

"Where.. is it?" Rebekah asked dangerously.

"I don't have it anymore." Elena confesses.

"You're lying!" Rebekah vamps out, getting out of his grip before sinking her fangs into Elena's neck. Stiles pry's Rebekah off of her.

"KNOCK IT OFF, BEKAH!" Stiles yells at her and she calms down a bit. She cowers in fear for her younger twin.

"Make her tell me where it is!" Stiles sighs before walking towards Elena seeing as her hand was covering her punctured neck.

"Where's the necklace, Elena? Be honest or I can't do anything about Rebekah." Stiles asked politely and Elena sees how he's trying to keep his siblings together.

"I'm telling the truth," Elena admits. "Katherine stole it."

"Of course the bitch would." Stiles huffs.

"Well, that's unfortunate." Klaus said stepping towards them. "If we had the necklace it would makes things a whole lot easier for your witch, but since we're doing this the hard way, let's put a clock on it, shall we?" He puts on a clock and the buzzer goes off as it appears on the board. He walks to Stefan and compels him, hoping his stupid naïve brother wouldn't ruin it again. "Twenty minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found a solution by then, I want you to feed again. Only this time, I want you to feed on Elena. You know you want to."

"No, Klaus! Don't do this to him!" She pleads and gives another look to Stiles who shrugged and mouthed an apology. She couldn't blame him, he's helped enough.

"No one leaves. If she tries to run, fracture her spine." Klaus said in a tone of finality.

Rebekah looks at her brother and her half brother before she left with them.

Matt is back in the weight room on the phone with Bonnie. "Did you find Jeremy?"

"No, I called him like twenty times." Bonnie explains.

"All right, I'll grab my keys. We'll head to his house." Matt said.

"Okay, I'll meet you by your truck."

He hangs up and sees his clothes scattered everywhere. "What the hell?" He asked himself. He looks in his bag, but he didn't find what he was looking for. He stops when he hears footsteps approaching him. When he looked up, he sees a guy who looks like an underwear model with dirty blond hair and a chiseled jaw. "Hi," he said confused.

"Hey," the guy says. "Have you seen a lanky teen, pale, moles on his cheek somewhere?" He asked and Matt nodded.

"You're the werewolf, right?" Matt asked and the guy nodded slowly. "Matt Donovan. I met him a few hours ago in the gym. He's dealing with Klaus."

"Klaus is his evil brother, right?" He asked and it was Matt's turn to nod. "Oh. I'm Jackson Whittemore."

Wow, even his name was perfect. He also seemed like a Jock like Matt and he sees Tyler in him which is not a coincidence because they're werewolves and the fact that they're both attractive, built, and probably rich. "If you're wondering why I'm here at school late, today was supposed to be senior prank night but Klaus came, then Rebekah, and now your friend."

"I can relate." Jackson laughs and Matt feels himself grinning at the werewolf model in front on him. If he was a model.

Stefan and Elena are in the gym with six minutes left on the clock. "Caroline's dad!" Elena exclaims, "Stefan, he was able to resist compulsion. I don't know how but he did it. Maybe it's possible." She said with hope lacing her voice.

"Yeah, yeah." He nods warily, "maybe it's just mind control, right? Maybe it just takes some focus, a couple decades of training. No big deal." He paces around and Elena couldn't help but she thought about how Stiles was doing the exact same thing a few minutes ago.

"Stefan, you can control this." Elena said determined. "When that buzzer goes off, just... just drink from me."

"You don't get it. I can't stop, Elena! I'm a Ripper! A ripper doesn't stop! I listen to the words that come out of your mouth, and all I hear is the sound of your heart pumping blood through your body. And when that clock ticks down... I'm going to have to feed on you. And you want to know what's worse? I'm not going to be able to stop!"

"I don't believe that." She commented. "You can fight it. You just have to want it bad enough."

"Why? Because I love you?" He questioned.

"Yeah, that's right Stefan." She nods with a small smile forming on her lips. "Because you love me. You'll fight because after everything that we've been through, you owe me that!"

"You know what, you're right. You're right. I owe you everything. Because through all of this, you are the one thing that has kept me from giving up; from turning it all off. But I can't help what I am, Elena. The more blood that I get, the more I want, and if I get so much as near yours. You are dead."

Only five minutes remained on the clock.

Rebekah and Stiles are sitting in a classroom with Tyler and Caroline. Although Caroline thinks that Rebekah compelled a poor boy to be her slave when really, it was Rebekah's twin brother. Rebekah looks at the remaining time on Caroline's phone. They hear Tyler groaning. "Where am I? What happened?" Tyler asked groggily.

"Tyler," Caroline started.

"Don't be shy about it." Rebekah responded.

"What's going on?" He asked looking at Stiles and Rebekah warily.

Caroline explains. "Klaus is turning you into a vampire. A hybrid. You're in transition." She said.

"Don't leave out the hard part, sweets." Rebekah smiled sickly at Caroline and Stiles speaks up.

"You'll only survive if your witch is successful. If not... I think what's gonna happen next is pretty clear." Stiles spoke up and Caroline glared at the 'slave'.

"You don't know who you're dealing with, kid." Caroline said and Stiles gives her a look. Rebekah stops playing with the phone and looks over at her brother before smirking. "Aren't you Rebekah's slave?"

Stiles rushed to Caroline, wrapping his fingers around her neck and Tyler growls inhumanly. "Don't, mutt." Stiles growls at him. "How dare you call me a kid when I'm the reason you're doppelganger bitch friend is alive and her broken ripper lover. I am ten centuries older than you, I'm an experienced killer, I came from a dangerous family, and I won't even feel a twinge of regret when I snap your neck and rip out your heart." He vamps out making Caroline cower. "I am no one's bitch and if you want your friends to live. Keep. Your. Mouth. Shut." He throws her to the ground and Tyler rushes to his girlfriend. "That's me warning you, Caroline. Next time, you'll be wishing you're dead." He growled before returning back to his place beside Rebekah.

"Speaking of Elena; I wonder how she's doing." Rebekah said showing Stiles the remaining time then to the blonde and the werewolf. "Tick tock goes the gym clock." She taunts and smiles before taking a picture with her and Stiles.

"Elena, you're going to have to run." Stefan said.

"But Klaus said that if I run.."

"I know what he said, but if you stay, it won't matter. Elena, please, please please. Elena, there's no other way." He begs brokenly.

"What about Stiles?" Elena asked.

"Who's Stiles?" He asked confused.

"He's Klaus' younger brother, his real name is Genim Mikaelson. He's a Ripper, like you," Elena said.

Since when did Klaus have another brother? Genim Mikaelson? Oh crap, he's heard that name before when it slipped from Katherine's mouth but she shut up after saying his name. And when Katherine is quiet, it wasn't good news. The buzzer goes off and Stefan already knows. "Stefan, I love you. Fight, Stefan. Don't give up." She said encouragingly.

"I can't hold it."

Stiles walked out of the classroom bored out of his minds until he bumps into someone. "Wa- Leah?" Stiles asked wide eyed and stepped back.

The girl steps back, her mouth opening and closing like a fish trying to find her words. "Stiles..."

"You're alive."

"I know."

Then anger builds up in him. "Where have you been if you're still alive?"

"I-uh.. I can't tell you." Her voice breaks.

"Can't tell me?! You made me think that you were dead for eight hundred years and you can't tell me?!" The he realizes. "When Klaus killed you..."

"... He didn't realize that Elijah fed my his blood the day before Klaus killed me and when he left, I woke up and I was in transition. You were gone and I thought you left me." Leah said.

"Why would you think that?"

"I-I don't know." She admits and his face fells before enveloping her in a hug. She was surprised at first before wrapping her arms around him. "I missed you so much, Leah."

"I missed you too." And tears starts falling. She's back in the arms of her first lover. She had missed him every single day and it still felt like it was a dream to have him in her arms.

Stiles took a deep breath and hugged her closely to his chest. He thought she was dead. Klaus killed her but ever since, she was live. Living an immortal life. Having her in his arms was what he always wished for every single day of his life. His first love was in his arms and he certainly did not deserve it.

They stand there for what felt like minutes before stepping back and Leah laughed wiping the tears with her sleeve. "You still look handsome. The pictures that they drew of you doesn't compare to how handsome you are now. I'm sorry,"

"Don't be. Klaus daggered me after he killed you. He had a personal vendetta against you, I'm sorry. I knew how much you wanted to grow old with a family."

She sobs in joy and smashes her lips on his... "I love you."

"I love you too," he says against her lips before kissing her passionately until gas started seeping out from the vents.

Their throats started closing up and burning. "Vervain," Stiles gasps and presses Leah against him before they fell into unconsciousness. The hunter arrives and orders his other hunters to grab their bodies. They do so and throws them into the trunk of the black Range Rover before driving away from the school.

The wolves, hunter and banshee sat in the Mystic Falls Inn bedroom discussing about something until the door cracks wide open, a smoke grenade tumbles in and gas starts to fill up the whole room. The wolves collapse as the banshee and the hunter try to see from the smoke and felt a sharp pain.

Allison looks down before taking the dart off her arm. "Tranquilizer.." she slurs before both their bodies hit the ground.

Jackson walks towards Stiles' jeep to get something until someone sneaked up behind him, covered his mouth with a glove covered and the other hand injecting wolfsbane into Jackson. He tries to struggle before he's being consumed by the darkness.

"WHERE IS MY BROTHER?!" Rebekah yells at the vampire and the hybrid angrily. "He's supposed to be here!"

"We don't know where he went! He said he was gonna walk around because he was bored of having to watch newbies like us!" Caroline huffed. She was ashamed that she really feared Klaus' brother more than she did Klaus. Rebekah huffs and glares at them.

"Stay here or I'll finish you off myself." She threatens before walking towards the hall. She stops when an arrow came into her view and when she walks towards it. A paper was stuck to it and it read:

A hunter always finishes what he started.

Realization hit her hard. "Alexander," she breathes out with wide eyes.
