《The End》Part 14: A monster

"Rosa, come on. Just tell me what happened." Elena shouted from the other side of the door. Rosa could hear her sister trying to open it, but it was locked. "Rose open the door."
"No!" She shouted back. Suddenly the door opened and Rosa glared at her sister as she shoved the bobby pin back into her pocket.
"Sorry. You were being difficult." Elena leaned against the door frame and looked at her sister who seemed scared and stressed. She walked over to Rosa's bed and sat down next to her. "What's wrong? Did something happen last night?" All she could do was nod. "What happened?"
"He's going to kill me." She said in a faint whisper. Elena cocked her head and looked at her sister confused. "I'm so stupid. He's going to kill me." She cried a little louder now.
"Rosa, what are you talking about? What did you do? And who's going to kill you?"
Rosa didn't answer her sister. She pulled her knees close to her face and let out an exaggerated sigh. Elena rolled her eyes and stood up from her sisters bed.
"When you're ready to talk, find me." She said before leaving. Rosa looked up at her sister for a minute, watching her leave. After a few minutes she heard the door slam shut. Rosa quickly ran downstairs to make sure it wasn't Klaus. It wasn't, it was Elena. Rosa assumed she was going to Stefan and Damon's.

After a bit of convincing, Caroline convinced Rosa to join her, Elena and Bonnie in Elena's room. Rosa decided that if anything it was safer than to be by herself.
Bonnie was sitting on Elena's bed with what Rosa learned was a grimoire and a tray that held three burning candles. She also had a bowl of burning sage. Elena, Bonnie and Rosa were talking while Caroline was in a different room. They were trying to make some witchy thing that makes vampires unable to hear conversations.
"He was gloating. Like actual gloat. Like he was proud of himself for sleeping with her." Elena was complaining about Damon sleeping with Rebekah. It honestly made Rosa mad. Elena shouldn't care who Damon sleeps with because she loves Stefan. "Is it working?"
Caroline came into the room and sighed. "It's not working. I can hear every word you're saying about Damon, the vampire gigolo."
"I don't know, it's a tricky spell." Bonnie said ignoring Caroline's comment.
"When Esther did it, she kept the sage burning. There was a lot more smoke." Elena said.
"Alright." Bonnie said while relighting the sage. "Try it again." They all heard Caroline scoff as she left the room. "Speaking of Esther, you should know that she came to see me and Abby this morning."
"And all this time you let me vent about Damon?"
"I don't want to worry you?"
"Ok, well what did she want?" Elena asked. Rosa wasn't paying much attention. She didn't know much about Abby besides that fact that she's Bonnies trash bag mom or not so trash bag mom anymore. She wasn't sure if the current situation. She also learned that Esther was the original witch. Klaus's mother who created the vampire spell.

"She wanted to introduce herself. Abby and I helped bring her back. She's channeling our entire ancestral bloodline for power. I think she thought she was being polite." Bonnie told them.
"Ok, well, is there a way to stop her from channeling you?" Elena asked.
"Even if there was, why would I want that?"
"I just keep thinking...before the sun and moon ritual, Elijah found a way to keep me alive. And now I'm in exactly the same position and I'm just gonna let him die? It just doesn't feel right." Elena said. Rosa shrugged.
"They are thousand years old murderers. Their time has come." Rosa told them. Caroline then re-entered the room.
"Ok. First of all, this privacy spell is totally not working. Second. Elena, you are not doing this, Esther is doing this. Third. Rosa is definitely right."
"Thank you." Rosa said, but Elena rolled her eyes and frowned.
"There's not time to change your mind, Elena. He'll be dead by the end of the night." Bonnie told them. Rosa had a moment of realization. Tomorrow Klaus would be gone. The first guy to ever actually like her and she had no idea how to feel about him. She knew she had to hate him because he was a monster, but she also knew that some small part of her would miss him. Would miss the phone calls and the little compliments.
"What?" She heard Elena shout.
"It's a full moon. Esther needs to harness the energy of a celestial event. She asked me and Abby to join her."

Bonnie and Caroline had left a few hours ago. Rosa was watching Tv while Elena was doing her homework next to her. The only time they noticed each other was when Elena gave Rosa a questioning look each time her phone rang.
Rosa had been declining all phone calls that she didn't know the number. There was suddenly a knock at the door. Elena got up to go answer it.
Rosa couldn't exactly hear what they were talking about, but she did hear Elijah. Elijah wouldn't kill Rosa for Klaus would he. No. He was a good guy, that's all Elena ever says.
Rosa watched as Elena and Elijah lady together. She rolled her eyes and went back to watching her show. She assumed Elena would be fine.
Elena didn't come back after she left with Elijah. She tried calling a bunch of times and she couldn't figure out where she went. Neither Alaric, Stefan or Damon knew. Bonnie and Caroline had no idea either. She even called Matt. Nothing. That was until she got a call from Stefan.
Apparently Elijah basically kidnapped her and now Rebekah has her. Rosa was about to hang up the phone when she heard Damon's voice.
"I need you to go to the Grill." He said over the phone.
"No." Was her response.
"Rosa, just do it. We don't have time for arguing." He told her. Damon seemed stressed and definitely annoyed at Rosa.
"Why?"
"Because it will help get Elena back. Just stop being a baby and go. Now!" Rosa rolled her eyes and hung up the phone. She quickly changed into clothes that were more appealing than sweats and went to her car. Rosa was extra careful when walking to her car. She thought that maybe it was fine. Klaus wasn't that mad at her because she hasn't seen him yet.

She made her way to the Grill. She tried calling Damon and Stefan again hoping one of them would explain why she needed to come here and how it would help save Elena.
Then she walked in and immediately knew why Damon wanted her here. She was about to turn around when she stopped herself. It was important to save Elena.
"Rosalina!" She heard Klaus call to her in a more cheerful voice than she had expected. Rosa looked his way to see a wide grin on his face. She hesitantly walked over to him. He was sitting next to another man who seemed not much younger and looked pretty similar. Rosa realized that he was at the party. She hadn't seen much of him before leaving so quickly, but she assumed it was another of Klaus's sibling.
Rosa looked around the Grill and saw Alaric. He was staring at her while on the phone. He had an uneasy expression on his face. He looked extremely uncomfortable and stressed. It was that exact moment that Rosa realized what Damon wanted. He wanted her to distract Klaus.
"Hi, Klaus." She mumbled awkwardly. She didn't meet his eyes. How could she? "Look, I'm sorry about last night—"
"Nonsense! It's in the past." He said loudly, interrupting her. Rosa looked at the two of them. Both staring at her intently. "Join us for a drink." He said.
"Uhm...I'm underage." She said knowing that that's never stopped her before. "Are you drunk?"
Klaus shrugged his shoulders and turned to the man next to him. "This is the beautiful Rosalina Gilbert. Rosalina this is Kol, my brother." Klaus said introducing the two.
"Ah, a Gilbert." Kol said with a smirk. He took Rosa's hand and kissed it softly. Rosa could see how angry that small action made Klaus. "It's a pleasure to meet you Rosalina."
"It's Rosa." She muttered, looking mostly at Klaus. She looked at Klaus who was still staring at her. She hated doing this. She didn't want to do this. Rosa decided that she didn't have to listen to Damon or anyone else. She shouldn't have to put herself in danger. "I should go." She told them and didn't even give them a chance to respond before she was out the door. Glaring at Alaric on her way out as he most likely re-dialed Damon.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Klaus asked his brother.
"Stunning." He mumbled. "Doesn't exactly seem to be your speed, though."
"She will be. Now if you'll excuse me." He got up and started to follow Rosa out to the parking lot. He watched her pull out her keys and was about to unlock the car when he speeded in front of her. A gasp escaped her lips and the keys slipped from her fingers. "Off so soon?"
"I have to go."
"Why the rush?"
"I'm sorry about slapping you." Rosa told him. Klaus smirked slightly which made Rosa back away towards her car. "I...I thought you were going to kill me." She said in a shaky voice.
"I would never hurt you." He told her, tricking her hair softly.
"Maybe not, but you would hurt Elena or Jeremy, or my friends, right?" Klaus didn't respond. Rosa nodded and turned back towards her car.
"Come on, Rosalina. Why is it so hard for you to take a chance with me?" Rosa froze. He's a monster. A murderer. He killed Jenna.
"You see this necklace?" She asked as she turned to face him. Klaus nodded. "It belonged to my favorite person in the world. The only person who understood me and loved me no matter what. The one person I could trust with anything and never judged me. My Aunt. Jenna." It was Klaus's turn to freeze. His expression was mixed with sadness, regret, anger.
"Rosalina—"
"I loved her so much and I bet you never even took a second thought about killing her or almost killing Elena. I needed her and you killed her!" She shouted at him.
"Rosalina, I am truly sorry. I didn't even know you existed then. I never would have done it."
"I want to believe that that's true, but it's not. And even if it was, it doesn't change anything. I could never be with a monster like you so please leave—" Rosa watched as Klaus had a sudden look of pain on his face. She backed away slowly.
"What did you do?" He asked her.
"I—I didn't do anything."
Klaus rushed closer to Rosa and grabbed her arm. She tried to pull away, but there was to much force in his grasp.
"What did you do?" He screamed in her face.
"Nothing. Please stop." She cried.
"Kol!" He screamed. Suddenly Klaus sped away. Rosa debated going to help the other, but decided not to. It wasn't what she signed up for. She didn't sign up for anything. She unlocked her car and drove back home.
Rosa was sitting on the couch, staring at the wall. She wasn't sure what happened, all she knew was that it scared her. She was interrupted from her thoughts when her phone rang. It was Caroline. Bonnie's mom is in transition.
She quickly drove over to Caroline's house and knocked on the door. Caroline opened it and had a sad expression on her face.
"Hey...what's wrong. You look like you've been crying." Caroline said. Rosa didn't even think about how she looked right now.
"Yeah, I'm fine. How's Bonnie?"
"She's good I guess. Considering the circumstances."
"I feel so bad."
"Yeah. Just so you know she doesn't want to talk to Elena. So when she gets here she might be a little mad." Rosa nodded. Even though her a Bonnie weren't great friends they were closer now then they were a few months ago and Rosa just wanted to give her a hug.
