|Void Wins The Game|

He escaped and found himself in the school.

It was quiet, obviously it was a Saturday night and Erik found joy scraping his lang nails against the lockers as it lets out a screech and marks were left. He smiles as he suddenly elbows Kol's face, they were at Alaric's classroom door.

"Oh come on darling, is that the best you could do?"

He turns his head to stare at his other siblings, who did not want to mess around anymore. Soon Kol joined Klaus' side as Erik rolled his eyes. He was facing his family as no words was spoken, they stared each other down as if it was a dare to attack. Erik looked at their hands and saw them in a fist, Erik lick his lips in amusement before turning his head to the left to see Caroline, Bonnie and Katherine. Erik turned his head to the right, the entrance of the school, to see the Salvatore brothers and Tyler.

"Well you got me." Erik said taking a few steps back away from his fearing family, "What is this a showdown? Pathetic, honestly, all of you. I mean where is the fun without Elena and Matt?"

"They're away, away from you."

"Pity." Erik said, looking towards Damon with a smirk, "I was going to enjoy every moment in ripping them apart." Erik chuckles at the sound of multiple growls, "Why ate you mad, Nik? I mean there will be blood enough for you to make your hybrids." Klaus' expression soften that the idea, "You and I, Nik, against the world. What do you say? Perfect, we, the two strongest beings on earth, rule the world. Wouldn't it be perfect?"

"Enough, we don't need your false words." Elijah sneers as Erik laughs, "But Elijah, you wouldn't think I would forget the rest of our family? I can procreate, expanding our family like you and Rebekah want. And Kol, I can promise you every fine women you can charm and every bastard you can feed. Wouldn't that be splendid?"

The Mikaelsons was slowly reconsidering his idea, Erik's smile grew and Damon interrupted making the fox annoyed.

"Only a recipe for chaos, just like what you feed off." Damon said as Erik turns to look at him, "Oh come one Dames, you would think I would not include you in my little idea of perfection? Elena and you? I figured that if I couldn't murder her why not stick her with you, Damon? And you, Stef! I know how deep in your heart you still have feels for that feisty Petrova.

Then Caroline has Tyler, after I you know sex him up, forever. Don't think I forgotten you, Bon Bon. Jeremy and you? Aw, cute I guess I can make that happen. That leaves Mr history and Mattie Boy, right? Well I can find a girlfriend for History and makes sure they won't die and Mattie Boy would find an actual decent job."

The silence made Erik smirk.

Erik always had a way with words, which made Void over the moon because Erik was a good liar and Void was a good actor together hell happens.

"I might be a bit hellbent but it's all for a good cause. We can live a happy life here or any where. New Orleans, Miami and you know what we can also go up to Canada if you want. Just think about it, us against the world."

"No."

"What?"

Erik looked over to Rebekah with a confused face. Rebekah looked at her little brother and the coldness of her voice made everyone snap out of their trance.

"There is no we anymore, because you're not the Erik we love and adore. You're Void. Void has consumed you, Erik."

Erik simply smirks, tilts his head, "Now you just figured that? Oh darling, I was consumed by Void ages ago, when Elijah tried to save me from what? Nothing." Erik laughs as he looks at the groups before shaking his head, "Well, this was a nice talk, I'm off to murder Elena."

So Damon attacked.

Erik's plan worked and laughs as he grabs Damon and throws him into the lockers, Erik had his arms up in the Mikaelson stance, "So anyone else?" Erik's smirk and purple eyes set it all off as Kol soon followed, almost stopped by Elijah. Kol threw punches as Erik dodges. Erik grabs his brother's wrist and punched Klaus' with it soon after twisting it behind Kol's back and kicking him towards Elijah.

Erik flips Klaus over his shoulder, Klaus was pinned down on the floor as Erik's attention went towards Tyler and Caroline attacking. Erik ducked as Caroline threw a punch, while he grabbed Tyler, spun him around and made him act like a shield. Caroline tried to not hit Tyler but end up knocking the hybrid out.

Erik drops the hybrid on the floor before smirking at Caroline, he gets her into a head lock as she tried to get out but only resolved with a snapped neck. Erik drops Caroline as he felt Stefan sank his teeth into Erik's neck. Erik growled, elbows the vampire in the stomach, which made Stefan let go and fall a step back. Erik touched his bloody neck and looked at his bloody fingers, he scowled as he kicks Stefan in the stomach.

Stefan doubled over as Erik punches the right cheek of the Salvatore, Stefan was on his knees and Erik laughs before looking at the vampire's eyes, "Oh Stefan, you never learn." Erik grabbed his neck and throwing him into the lockers, which made the Salvatore unconscious. Erik looked at the remaining.

His family, Bonnie, Katherine and Damon.

"Shall we?"

They disperse. Hiding in different classroom, in the cafeteria, in the gym anywhere. Erik growls as he went into Alaric's room, only to be leaving with stakes in both hands. He finds Damon first, of course, it would be the classroom. Damon had limited places so this was the best he could do. Damon heard Erik kicking the door and flinched. Damon stepped back when Erik kicks the door down and entering the room.

Damon eyes the stakes before grabbing the books and started to throw them. He hits Erik in the eye with the book before ducking down as he heard the growl of the fox, "shit shit shit." Damon's collective muttering.

"Come on Damon, face me like a man."

Damon sucks up a sigh before surprising an attack on the fox demon. Erik slide of the the teacher's desk and falling onto the floor. He drops the stakes and gets lifted onto the table by Damon, held by a choke hold and pencil is embedded into the chest of Erik. "It seems like your not that strong at all..." Damon said as he stared in the eyes of the demon, but it changes.

"Damon, what are you doing? Stop! It hurts!"

Damon looks back in the eyes and saw good Erik and rips the pencil out of him but a evil smirk reappeared, "Oh Damon, you gotta stop falling for that..." Erik kicks him into the blackboard, "Out of you and me, I am the stronger one." Erik stood up and stakes Damon in the stomach. Damon chokes and looks at Erik, "Erik...."

"Sorry, sweetheart. Night night."

So down fell Damon Salvatore when Erik snaps his neck. Erik turns around and looks at the blood on the desk and picks up the only stake he had. He left the classroom and noticed from the shiny refection a bruise around his neck from the strong choke hold from Damon.

Next was Katherine and Rebekah.

"Now this is what I least expected...two bitches fighting along side."

Katherine lunges and Rebekah follows right after. Erik was caught surprised as he tumbled over as Katherine pinned him down, the stake was in his reach if he stretched enough but Rebekah kicked it out his reached, Erik's eyes travelled up to his sister's eye, she sends him a smile as Erik growled the howl in pain after Katherine sink his nails into his arms. Erik threw Katherine off him and she hit the benches.

The gym was perfect for some battle. Although Erik preferred if there was more of them to fight but he was having one hell of a gold time. Erik looked at Rebekah, who stood afraid, "You know, sister darling, I always though you were afraid of Nik, I guess times changes."

Erik lunges and threw punches at his sister, with every step he takes and step back Rebekah would make. Rebekah was soon throwing in her own punches and kicks. "Oh the temptation to rip your head off, sister." Katherine jumps on Erik's back to catch him off guard. Erik stumbles back before flipping Katherine over his shoulder, staking her in the stomacj and the two girls were wounded.

"Pathetically weak, the pair of you. Who knew the fierce were the weakest?"

Erik dragged the two by their hair. He literally dragged them and into the cafeteria they enter. Elijah, Kol and Klaus turned around from their little plan circle. Elijah stepped defensively at the sight of both girls. Kol sneers at Erik after seeing Rebekah while Klaus, he was mixed with amusement, proud and horror. Erik dropped the girls and stood in front of his brothers.

"Well brothers, shall we?"

Elijah, Kol and Klaus stood in a line as Erik had his arms up like the Mikaelson stance. Erik smirks, the purples eyes glared at every single one of them. Erik smiled showing the shiny sharp teeth. They all attacked, however as Elijah went in to rip his brother's arms, he was only bitten on the neck and pushed back.

Kol went in for the head, but just coming to close Erik and plunged his hand in Kol's chest. Erik was able to rip the original's heart out but Klaus punches Erik in the face, making Erik let go and stumble back.

Erik was a bloody mess, literally. Blood all over him, chest, neck, mouth, nose and of course him arms. Admittedly he looked like a hot murderer. Erik looked at his brothers and glared. "You think you can beat me! I am strong than all of you."

"No you're not."

Erik tilted his head at Elijah's response. The brothers opened a path to show Bonnie, hand lifted up and chanting a spell under her breath as Erik collapsed in pain. The brothers moves to go towards the girls. The Mikaelson look pained and sadly at their brother, but was shocked to see Erik slowly get up and stumbled his way to the witch. Bonnie trembled slightly and stopped chanting as Erik grabbed her by the neck, "Oh sweetheart, nice try."

Erik threw her across the floor. She slide down it to be stopped at the foot of the gang. Erik looked at them and smiled.

"Well this is a rare moment in life, isn't just? When both Mikaelson and Gang work together in a plan they failed. What was the plan? Oh yes, to save Erik from Void. You kinda messed that up didn't you?"

"You're not our brother, Erik, but we know the real Erik is still down there."

Erik laughs at Klaus words. He looks over to his side then at the gang. He saw how Caroline and Tyler were close, how Stefan and Damon looked at each other with worry and comfort. Erik swallowed a lump his throat before shaking his head. He chuckles a bit while looking at the floor and looking back up at the gang.

"You know you are right, there is still good in me. Why did you think I kept you alive, all of you, when I could easily just murder you all here? Why did you think I let you have the upper hand at one time in the fight, my reason is because I actually hoped that some good of me will realise and come out but it never came. Inside I still care but I am not Erik you all adore. I've changed for the better and you just have to learn to accept that."

Truth is, Erik was still down there, good Erik. That Erik was smiling and thankful that his heart wasn't taken over like his mind.

Yes, Void won but he can never have Erik's heart.

"But you know, I'll see you around again, and I'll promise you I'll be better. Just let me sort myself out."

Yes, everyone knew there was hope. Sure Void had won the mind of Erik but they know the next time they see Erik it won't be bad Erik. It would be the balanced Erik, and that's all they cared for.

but for now, void wins the game.
