Tara's POV

I was so terrified. Each of them had a knife to their throat and I could hear the sizzling of their skins as the vervaine burnt them.

"Don't do it. No matter what happens. Baby, please don't sit on that throne." Jake make pleaded as he held my hands and stared in my eyes.

"I can't. The law states that only a full witch can ascend. I'm not a full witch." I said in a shaky voice.

The witches were all seated and smiling as the vampires on the sides of my family dug the knife closer to their throats so that blood spilt out.

"The ancestors made the law and they have the right to change it. They want you on the throne." A voice said.

I couldn't believe it. Elena was part of their gang and so was Jeremy and Braeden. Jeremy, my first love. A guy I was so obsessed with.

The guy who defended and protected me. I felt my heart was being broken into a thousand pieces. I looked back at Jake.

"Tell me it's not true. Please." I begged him. I felt so tired and weak and defeated. Jake looked away. It confirmed everything.

"You have so much power yet you are very stupid. I can't believe you actually thought I had feelings for you. I am the one who tortured you.

I am the one who broke you. I drove you insane for months. I broke you. " Jeremy said with disgust. It really was him.

I gasped as my eyebrows raised. He was the Masked Monster. All this time it was him. The punches, the knives, the whips, the drugs,

The pain, the anger and depression I felt. All those months where I became such a monster. It was him. All him. But why?

"I'm sure you're wondering why?" Elena said. "How about we let Jake tell you the rest of the story." Braeden said.

I stated at Jake. So he knew all this the that it was Jeremy. He knew where I was yet he let me suffer in pain. I remember feeling remorse and regret when I thought about him.

I hated my self for not telling him about my feelings. Now, I'm glad that I didn't. "The plan was to get a female witch who would be compatible to the vampire venom.

After a thousand girls had died we found you. I told them not to hurt you and as punishment they forced me go turn you.

They didn't really need you as queen. They needed your body so that they could bring back their queen. Elle." He said.

I stared at him. I was so confused. "Elle was killed by St Pierce. He is my great great great grandfather. After what happened to my mom, I wanted us to be normal.

I wanted her to be happy so I decided to help them raise Elle back from the dead. That meant that my father would lose the throne and we would live like normal vampires.

But when they chose you, I decided not to. I couldn't have a millennium old spirit control my mate." He said.

"How touching? But I'm still going to kill tour while family and make sure that you watch it." Elena yelled.

She and Braeden seemed like the master minds. "Now you have a choice. It's either I kill Jake's family or you sit on the throne." Braeden said.

At that as moment the queen was dragged in. She had a baby in her arms and behind her were Bella and T.

They were all in cuffs laced with vervaine except the queen. But she was pushed onto the ground all the same.

"Mom, what the fuck are you doing here?" Jake yelled at his mom who whimpered and sought for comfort from her mate.

"You have two minutes. Tick tock Bella." Elena said. "Why are you doing this?" I asked her as my voice cracked.

I wanted my sister back. The one who loved and cared about me. She ignored me and took the baby from the queen.

She held it up with one hand as she began to cry. I began panicking. My hands were shaking. Jake was growling at them to leave his sister alone.

In that moment I knew I had lost. We had lost and to save my family I had to do one thing. Damn my soul, body and sport in order to save the ones I cared about.

I put down my spell and everyone gasped. They were all shocked. I understood them. I looked in the mirror and stared at myself.

Silver white hair, blue eyes with stars and blood stained face. I turned to walk towards the throne.

I felt Jake grab my elbow and turned to face him. "You don't have to do this. We'll figure something out. I just can't lose you." He said as he hugged me.

I just stayed I'm his arms doing nothing. I felt so dead and weak inside. "I'm so sorry. I love you." I said before I snapped his neck.

He fell to the floor and I just turned around and walked towards the throne. Bella cried, Edward comforted T,the rest tried to tell me yo stop.

The sisters came and began the ritual. Every witch poured their blood into the bowl and I drank it. They began chanting and I felt the cold and heavy metal on my head.

Then everything went silent. Then I felt myself getting smaller. Thunder and lightning roared as the winds blew.

Then I felt like a glass wall was in front of me. I could hear myself talking but it wasn't me. It was her. It was Elle.

It feels so good to be back and in such a powerful body. Elena and Braeden kept their word and brought me back should I repay them?

"No, please spare Jake and Hus family. Don't hurt them please. I have no one else." I begged her. She laughed.

She laughed so much like I was a comedian who had just told her a funny story.

You have so much power yet you wasted it and now you must watch your mate die just like I suffered. You will pay for defying your queen.

"Cut off the King and Queen's heads then burn them. They had Jake tied up. I tried to stop them but like Ells said, I was weak.

I watched them burn the King and Queen like they were nothing. I watched Jake glare a me with so much hate.

I watched everyone's world fall apart. I watched yet I couldn't do anything. I trier breaking the glass wall but nothing happened.

I fleet so powerless. Like when I suffered under the wicked hands of Jeremy for months. This was not like that. This was worse.

I had lost myself and there was no way u would get to be the way I used ho. I just lost my mom and dad again.

I failed to protect them. I'm such a monster. " Bring me Tara's mate." I heard me say.

They dragged him in front of me. I touched and caressed his face. He pulled back violently. "Drive a stake slowly into his heart." Elle said softly.

"No, don't touch him. Please don't touch him. Leave him alone." I yelled at her. I want you to watch him die slowly and painfully. Then I'll destroy your soul and keep your body.

As the vampire drove it into his heart, he screamed in agony. Then I snapped. I don't know how but all that pent up anger an frustration exploded.

The sisters always told me to control my magic. This time, I let it explode.

Consequences be damned!
--------------------------------------------------
Just in case you wanted to know Consequences be done is an Originals reference.

At the end of season three Marcel told Vincent Consequences be damned. I love the Originals.

Okay so Chasing Tara is ending soon and I haven't seen anyone saying that they want a sequel.

I have to go now.
