TW mentions of abuse mental and physical, self harm/addiction are mentions at the beginning of this chapter. I will put *** at the beginning of the scene.

***TW***

"Who's Mikael?" Rosalie asks Klaus as Rebekah sleeps

"He's my father, well, my stepfather due to the fact that I am not his. He was cruel and hated me and did cruel things to me emotionally and physically." Klaus says and Rosalie grabs his hand

"I understand." Rosalie says and Klaus glances at her confused.

"My father actually stepfather since I am also not his child. He used to do the same thing to Damon maybe Stefan like when someone stole money I can't remember but I remember I accidentally spilt his bourbon when I say that I mean just a drip and he grabbed my and pressed his cigar on arm. I was 7." Rosalie says and Klaus stays quiet.

"He did that 9 years and then he killed me for a couple of months I had PTSD about it. When I woke up I realised something, I got addicted to the pain since it was so frequent but I couldn't find a place with cigars so I found an alternative, cigarettes. I hid the scars with scar wax for special effects makeup, I still hide them with it."

"After a couple of months I realised it wasn't my fault, it's neither of ours, we shouldn't be punished for out mother's mistake and our step fathers are assholes." Rosalie says and Klaus glances at her again and takes her hand and kisses it.

"You don't deserve what happened to you." He says

"Neither do you, Nik."

***End of TW***

Stefan then wakes up and looks around his surroundings to see Klaus and Rosalie sitting on a coffin with Russell in her arms

"Just give me a chance to explain myself, okay?" Stefan tries to justify.

"No need. I'm not mad, I'm just curious. Rebekah seems to think you're holding on to something: A piece of your old life. The thing is, she's got flawless instincts, borderline supernatural. So I thought I would check it out, see for myself what it is you've been hiding." Klaus says and opens the door on the truck.

"Welcome back to Mystic Falls, Stefan."

🥀

Rosalie and Klaus were walking down the hall at night due to the fact it was 'Senior Prank Night' when Elena opened the door and became face to face with both of them and gasps

"There's my girl." Klaus says

"Klaus." She gasps and tries to run the other way but he speeds in front of her

"You're supposed to be dead. What are we going to do about that?" He says.

🥀

"You've put a rather large kink in my plans, sweetheart. The whole point of breaking the curse and becoming a hybrid was to make more hybrids, I haven't been able to do that. Now, I bet it has something to do with the fact that you're still breathing." Klaus says while dragging Elena by the arm down the hall.

"If you're gonna kill me, do it." Elena says

"Not until I know I'm right, but I do have ways of making you suffer." Klaus says as he opens the door.

He then opens the gym door where lots of seniors are doing different stuff for the prank.

"Attention seniors, you have officially been busted. Prank night is over. Head on home." Klaus says in the same awful American accent and then the students groan and leave the hall and leave and Klaus walks over to Chad and Dana and compel them and Elena turns to Rosalie.

"How could you do this, Rosalie." Elena accuses and Rosalie turns to her

"Excuse me." She says

"How could you be with Klaus." Elena says and Rosalie looks at her.

"Listen, I'm not 'with' him, okay? I went on the whole trip to help my brothers and I made Katherine compel me to save your ass." Rosalie says.

"How about we move on." Klaus suggests and Bonnie and Matt come through the door

"Bonnie get out of here!" Elena shouts to her as Klaus speeds behind Bonnie

"I was wondering when you'd show up. Now we can get started. Uh Dana, why don't you relax? You and Chad sit tight." He says and Rosalie walks to the bleachers.

Klaus then turns to Bonnie

"I assume you're the reason Elena's still walking around alive." Klaus says

"That's right. If you wanna blame someone, blame me." Bonnie says

"There's no need for blame, just your witchy interference seems to have caused some undesirable side effects and since you caused the problem, I'm gonna have you find the fix." He says and Rebekah comes into the gym holding Tyler.

"Get off of me." Tyler says

"Hush now." Rebekah orders

"I'd like you to meet my sister, Rebekah. A word of warning she can be quite mean." Klaus says.

"Don't be an arse." She says and gives Tyler over to Klaus

"Leave him alone." Elena orders.

"I'm gonna make this very simple. Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. It's quite horrible actually, Rosalie could agree," He says and bites his wrist shoving the blood down Tyler's throat "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie and for Tyler's sake you better hurry." He snaps Tyler's neck and everyone gasps as Klaus smiles.

"He killed him." Matt says in shock.

"He's not dead, Klaus' blood will turn him into a vampire." Rosalie says approaching the group

"And if Bonnie's successful he'll live through his transition. Go on then, go fetch your Grimoires and enchantments and whatnot, I'll hold on to Elena for safekeeping." Klaus says and Bonnie leaves with Matt and Elena turns to Rosalie as Klaus grabs on to her carefully

"Why haven't you tried to stop him?" Elena asks

"Take from someone that has spent the whole summer with him, he doesn't listen his ego is too big." Rosalie says.

"So this is the latest doppelgänger, the original one was more prettier." Rebekah says

"Enough, Rebekah, take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you? Just ignore her, petty little thing." Klaus says as Rebekah drags Tyler's body out the hall.

Klaus and Rosalie sit on the bleachers as Elena sits with Chad and Dana. The hall doors open to reveal

"Stefan." Elena says standing up but he ignores her presence

"Klaus." He says.

"Come to save your damsel, mate?" Klaus taunts

"I came to asks for your forgiveness and pledge my loyalty." Stefan says

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

"Elena means nothing to me anymore and whatever you ask of me, I will do." Stefan says

"Fair enough. Let's drink on it, kill them. What are you waiting for? Kill them." Klaus walks off the bleachers and walks to Dana and Chad.

"No. Stefan, don't. He's not gonna hurt me. He's already said-" Elena gets cut off by Klaus slapping her in the face and Stefan growls and launches at Klaus but he quickly puts Stefan in a choke hold,

"She means nothing to you? Your lies just keep piling up." Klaus says.

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

"Your word doesn't mean much, I lived by your word all summer during which time I never had to resort to this," Klaus says and he starts compelling Stefan "stop fighting."

"Don't do this. Don't do this." Stefan whispers

"I didn't want to, all I wanted was your allegiance. Now I'm gonna have top take it."

"Don't. Don't." He whispers

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

"Klaus, stop." Rosalie says but Klaus ignores her

"Now, kill them, Ripper." Klaus says and Stefan obeys.

Once Stefan is done devouring Chad and Klaus is done taunting Elena Rebekah comes through the doors with Caroline's phone

"Where is it? Where's my necklace?" She asks

"What are you talking about?" Klaus asks.

"She has my necklace, look." Rebekah says she shows him the picture

"Well, well. More lies" Klaus says

"Where is it?" Rebekah asks

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

"You're lying!" And Rebekah launches at Elena biting her neck and Rosalie runs down and tries Elena up after Klaus rips Rebekah away but Elena backs away from Rosalie.

"Knock it off!" Klaus shouts at Rebekah

"Make her tell me where it is, Nik." Rebekah says

"Where's the necklace, sweetheart? Be honest." Klaus says

"I'm telling the truth. Kathrine stole it." Elena says holding her neck.

"Katerina, of course. Well, that's unfortunate, if we had the necklace it'd make things for your witch. Since we're doing this the hard way let's put a clock on it, shall we? Twenty minutes. If Bonnie hasn't found the solution by then I want you to feed again. Only this time... I want you to feed on Elena," Klaus says putting a timer on and walking to Stefan, "you know you want to."

"Klaus. Don't do this to him." Elena whimpers

"No one leaves. If she tries to run fracture her spine." And Klaus hold Rosalie's hand leading her out the gym.

🥀

"As soon as you're feeling better, I'm gonna kill you." Bonnie says to Matt

"But it worked. I saw her. I saw Vicki." Matt says

"You did?" She asks.

"She said she had a message for you." Matt says

"For me?" Bonnie asks.

"From the witch that put the hybrid curse on Klaus. She said Elena shouldn't have survived Klaus' ritual. The hybrids can't tranistion because Elena's still alive." Matt says and Bonnie realises.

"Tyler." Bonnie says

"He's gonna die, isn't he?" Matt asks Bonnie

"I wouldn't be too sure about that." Klaus says and they turn around to see Rosalie and Klaus.

"Given the choice, doppelgänger or hybrid, I go hybrid every time." He says

🥀

Elena was running from Stefan when she ran again into Klaus

"We gotta stop meeting like this." He says.

🥀

They walk into the lunch hall to see Stefan stabbing himself in the stomach with a broom

"Now, this is fascinating, I've never seen this before. The only thing stronger that your craving for blood is love for this one girl. Why don't you turn it off?" Klaus says walking to a table and sitting on it

"No." Stefan says panting and Rosalie carefully wraps her arms around Elena who does the same.

"Come on. Your humanity is killing you, all the guilt must be exhausting. Turn it off." Klaus says

"No." Stefan repeats

"Stefan." Elena says

"Shh, Elena. You're going to make this worse. I'm sorry." Rosalie says

"You're strong but you're not that strong." Klaus says taking the broom out of Stefan.

"Turn it off." Klaus orders Stefan and he pushes Klaus

"No!" Stefan shouts and Klaus speeds him to a wall

"Klaus stop!" Rosalie shouts but he once again ignores her.

"Turn it off!" Klaus shouts as he compels him and Elena gets out of Rosalie's grip

"What did you do?" Elena asks as Rosalie remains silent

"I fixed him." He says.

"But I think a test is in order, don't you? Ripper, perhaps you'd like a drink from the doppelgänger's neck." Klaus says and Stefan opens his eyes to reveal his vampire ones but this time it was different.

Something that Rosalie had never seen before, she was unable to recognise her own brother.

And it terrified her.

🥀

Rosalie and Klaus walk into the science room where Caroline, Rebekah and Tyler are

"Care." Rosalie says and Caroline lifts her head to see Rosalie and she speeds towards her and engulfs her into a giant hug

"Well, the verdict's in. The Original Witch says the doppelgänger should be dead." Klaus says.

"Does that mean we can kill her?" Rebekah says while holding Russell

"No. It means the opposite." Klaus says and Rebekah is about to go for Caroline when Rosalie who is still hugging Caroline looks over at Rebekah and gives her a looks and Rebekah backs off.

"What?" Rebekah asks and Caroline and Rosalie break apart

"Call it a hunch. Elena's blood. Drink it." Klaus says

"No. No, no, no, Tyler, don't." Caroline says and Rosalie holds her hand for comfort."

"If he doesn't feed, he'll die anyway, sweetheart. Consider this an experiment. It's okay." Klaus says to Tyler and he drinks the blood.

Tyler then groans and crashes on the floor and Care begins to scream and Rosalie wraps her arms around her

"It's okay, shh shh, I've got you." She says and Tyler screams in pain and she turns to see Tyler with veins like a vampire and eyes like a werewolf's.

"Well, that's a good sign." Klaus says.

"Rosie...are you okay?" Caroline asks as Rosalie starts to look paler than usual

"Um, we need to go to the toilet. Right now or a different class room." She says but she knew it was too late and ran to the sink in the classroom and threw up as Caroline holds her hair out of her face.

"What the bloody hell is happening?" Rebekah asks

"She throws up when she's stressed or overwhelmed." Caroline says quickly as Rosalie continues to throw up

"Did you take your medication?" Caroline asks and Rosalie shakes her head.

"I forgot." Rosalie pants and lifts her head and Caroline opens her bag with a mini mouthwash in it and gave it to her and Rosalie filled the cap with water then mouthwash and then Caroline passes her a nude lipstick and her fidget cube.

"Thanks." Rosalie says

"How could you forget?" Caroline asks,

"Well, I've not been stressed lately. Well... I did throw up at a bar when Damon visited it." Rosalie says

"You are taking them now." Caroline says, with Rosalie she goes full on Mom sometimes.

"Fine." Rosalie says and Caroline gets Rosalie's medication out of her bag

"Why do you have that?" Rosalie asks

"I guessed you would probably forget something." Caroline says putting each medication on the table and Rosalie picks up a box.

"Why do you have birth control for me?" Rosalie asks looking at the box and Caroline smiles

"Maybe when you see that hot stranger Nik that you met when you saw the roses." Caroline says and Rosalie looks at her and looks at Klaus suddenly remembering he and his sister and Tyler are in the room.

"Care...I don't know how to say this but...that's Nik." Rosalie says pointing at Klaus and Caroline turns around and then looks back at Rosalie.

"Guess you don't need birth control." She smiles and Rosalie bursts out laughing.

"Or how about we marry each other and leave the mutt." Rosalie says looking at Tyler

"Mutt?" Caroline asks while smiling

"I'm serious like if it was his uncle I understand because he was hot, well until he tried to get my brothers killed and outed you to your mom but seriously, Tyler?" Rosalie says.

"Sure, will you do Miss Mystic Falls?" Caroline asks.

"Never mind too young to get married." Rosalie smile

"But just incase you change your mind Caroline Forbes Salvatore or Rosalie Salvatore Forbes." Rosalie says winking at her.

🥀

Rosalie gets woken up with her phone ringing and she answers it

"Hello?" She asks

"Hello, love." Klaus says from the other side of the phone

"Why are you calling me at this ungodly hour?" She asks with a smile appearing on her face.

"I'm sorry, love but I'm leaving." Klaus says and her smiles falls

"What?" She asks

"I'm leaving for Portland." He says

"You're coming back, right?" Rosalie asks, yes she was mad at him about her brother but when she was talking to him she felt different, special.

"If you need me to come back I will." Klaus says

"Okay." She whispers

"Goodnight, love." He says.

"Have a safe trip, Nik."
