Rory's outfit

💫

Rory clipped on her bar and put her top on
"Do you think I should get nipple piercings?" She turned to Damon
"Yeah, they'd be hot." He said.

"I was gonna get them when I turned 18 but I was way too nervous."
"I'll come with you. Hold your hand." He said
"I've got an idea." She smiled mischievously.

"You should get a dick piercing and I'll my nipples done." She said
"No." He shook his head
"Why? I'll get both of mine done since you're getting yours on your dick." Rory nodded.

"Think about it?" She asked
"No." He said
"We better go downstairs." She sighed and kissed him.

They then walked downstairs to hear Elena and Stefan talking to Elijah about the ritual.

"Then why are we letting him break the curse? We can kill him today. With Bonnie." Damon said as he walked in with Rory
"No. Bonnie can't use that much power without dying." Elena said
"I'll write her a great eulogy." He told them.

"She would have to use more of my blood which means I could die from blood loss." Rory said
"Okay, maybe not." Damon said and Rory rolled her eyes.

"All right, how do we break this curse?" Stefan asked
"Well, the ritual itself is relatively straightforward. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know." Elijah said
"The moonstone."

"A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that's bound within the stone. After that, Klaus, being both werewolf and vampire, will sacrifice one of each." Elijah explained
"And where do I fit into it?" Elena asked
"The final part of the ritual." He said then took a wooden box from the shelf.

"Klaus must drink the blood of the doppelgänger...to the point of your death." He said and opened the box to reveal a jar
"And that's where you come in." She said
"This is an elixir that I acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina. It possesses mystical properties of resuscitation." He said.

"So I'll be dead?" Elena asked
"And then you won't." He said
"That's your plan? A magical witch potion with no expiration date?" Damon asked.

"You want to come back to life, what about John's ring?" Damon suggested
"Those rings only work on humans. The doppelgänger's a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the ring won't work." Elijah said.

"I'll take those odds over your elixir. What if it doesn't work, Elena?" He asked her
"Then I guess I'll just be dead." She shrugged and all of the vampires heard Rory's heart quicken, Damon couldn't bare to heart it so he left.

"Do we know if Klaus has everything he needs to do this? Does he have a werewolf?" Elena asked
"Klaus has been waiting to break this curse for over a thousand years. If he doesn't already have a werewolf, my guess is by tonight, he will." He said.

"You'd think he'd understand why I'm willing to do this." Elena said
"Why are you?" Elijah said
"I'm the key to breaking the curse. Klaus is here because of me. If I don't stop him, then he's going to hurt people. It's that simple." She explained.

"You know, there's a possibility this elixir won't work. I don't want to mislead you." He said
"I know the chance I'm taking." She said as Rory just stood there.

"Get out!" They hear Jenna shout and Rory rushed to the front door to see Jenna holding a crossbow to Alaric
"Mom, straighten your arms a little more." Rory adjusted her position
"Jenna, put the crossbow down, okay? It's me." He said.

"Stay away from me." She said.
"What's going on?" Elena asked
"It's me, Elena, I swear, okay? He let me go. Klaus let me go." Alaric said.

"Prove it." Damon said and Alaric looked at Jenna
"Okay, uh, first night you and I spent together, Jeremy walked in right when I was about to..." He said
"No! No! No! Lalalalala!" Rory shouted as she covered her ears.

"Okay, it's him." She lowered the crossbow and Rory took it from her then took the bow out and pretended to plunge it into her heart.

"Why did he let you go?" Stefan asked
"He wanted me to deliver a message. The sacrifice happens tonight." Alaric said.

💫

Rory, Jenna, Elena, Stefan and Elijah sat in the living room as they asked Alaric questions
"So you don't remember anything that happened?" Stefan asked
"No. It's like I blacked out and woke up three days later. Katherine was there." He said.

"She's under compulsion. Damon snuck her some vervain, but she can't leave until Klaus tells her she can." Stefan said
"Where is Damon?" Rory asked.

"I saw him go upstairs." Jenna said and Rory went to stand up
"I'll check on him." Elena told her and went upstairs
"So what else did I do?" Alaric asked.

💫

They all heard commotion upstairs and Rory, Jenna and Alaric rush upstairs to see Stefan on the ground stabbed in the stomach and Elena with blood around her mouth
"What the hell's going on?" Alaric asked
"Get him out of here!" Elena shouted as Rory rushed to Stefan.

"Oh, my God." Jenna said as Stefan rested his head onto Rory's legs
"Okay, Jenna, downstairs are some blood bags. Go get them now. Go!" Alaric said and Jenna quickly went downstairs.

"It's okay. It's okay. You're going to be okay." Rory brushed her fingers through his hair
"I'm so sorry." He said to Elena
"It's okay." She said.

"You need to go." Stefan said to Rory and she shook her head
"You have a cover shift at the Grill, also be there for Damon." Stefan groaned
"We'll look after him." Jenna said as she held blood bags and she reluctantly nodded.

💫

Rory gave Damon his drink as he sat there at the bar when Alaric sat next to him
"I'll have the same." He said and Rory nodded
"I screwed up." Damon said
"Yeah. Yeah, you did." Alaric said and Rory handed him his drink as she looked at Damon.

"Yeah, no more sex." Rory said
"What?" Damon snapped his head to her
"No more sex." She shook her head.

"You are so unfair."
"That's what you get." She leaned to him.

"I have a question to ask." She turned to Ric
"So, I said that if I got my nipples pierced it should be fair he should get a dick piercing." She said
"Woah. I don't need to know that."

"I didn't want to know about what happened that Jeremy walked in at. Just answer the question." She said
"I'll give you another drink on the house." She told him
"I don't know." He shrugged.

"I think fair is fair." They turned to see a man sitting there
"Ugh. Klaus, I presume." Damon said and Klaus ordered a drink
"In the flesh." He said.

"Thanks for the loaner, mate." Klaus patted Alaric's shoulder
"Any reason you stopped by to say hi?" Damon asked
"I'm told you and your brother fancy my soulmate. Just thought I'd remind you to not do anything you'll regret." He said.

"Ha. Thanks for the advice. I don't suppose I could talk you into a postponement, by any chance, huh?" Damon suggested
"You are kidding?" He asked then looked at Alaric and Rory
"He is kidding, right?" He asked.

"No, not really." Alaric shook his head
"I really fucking wish he was." She handed him his drink
"I mean, come on, what's one month in the whole grand scheme of things?" Damon said.

"Let me be clear...I have my vampire. I have my werewolf. I have everything I need. The ritual will happen tonight. So if you want to live to see tomorrow, don't screw it up." He said and put down money for the drink then left.

"Holy shit, he's rich." Rory looked at the $100 bill
"Whatever." Damon said then kissed her hand
"Have a fun shift. Don't flirt too much." He left with Alaric.

💫

Rory clocked out of her shift to see Klaus standing at her car
"What do you want, Klaus?" She crossed her arms
"No need for hostilities. Call me Nik." He told her.

"What do you want, Nik?" She asked
"I wanted to spend time with you, you're my soulmate." He smiled
"And there's something else for the sacrifice." He said and she rolled her eyes and followed him.

"What is it?" She asked
"Now that I've found you, the ritual has changed. I need to drink you're blood before the doppelgänger." He said
"Like completing the bond?" She asked.

"No, I'll obviously give you my blood to heal you but this has nothing to do with the bond. That time will come, love." She then turned to him
"You can't kill Damon." She held up her wrist to show him the mark.

"What a pity." He said and she rolled her eyes.

"So you just came to tell me about how you have to bite me?" She asked
"No. I came to see you. Admire you, appreciate you, adore you." He grazed her bottom lip with his thumb,
"I heard that you have drawings of me." She changed the subject.

"Elijah." He sighed as he looked at her slightly embarrassed
"Don't give me that look. It's cute. I've seen one, you're really fucking talented." She said
"You do anything like that?" He asked.

"Kinda, I have them hung up in my room. No one really mentions them though." She chuckled
"Probably think it's a bought piece. I will admit when I was in Alaric's body I may have stumbled into your room."

"Oh please don't tell me you stole some of my underwear. Damon already has and blames on me having stuff for when I stay over." Rory groaned
"No, your underwear remained in it's drawer." He said.

"They hang at the top of your bed." He said and she nodded
"Well since you know about everything to do with college then you should know I got into some art schools with scholarships." She admitted
"And you're not going?" He asked.

"You want me to deal with the supernatural and also dealing with keeping up a scholarship?" She asked and he chucked
"Fair play."

"I'll see you tonight, love." He lead her to her car.

💫

"So I'm part of the fucking ritual." Rory announced into the house
"Excuse me?" Elijah asked
"Because I'm his soulmate, he need my blood to drink before he sacrifices my cousin." She said.

"What did you answer with?" He asked
"Well I couldn't exactly refuse. It will help me make sure Elena is okay as much as she can be." She said
"With the blood for Bonnie, I'll just have to quickly make a cut then give her the blood. I'll tell him I can't watch. Hopefully he'll let me go." She sighed.

💫

Rory walked with Klaus to the quarry where the ritual is being done. Rory noticed a witch and fire around three people when she noticed someone.
"Why's my mom here?" She turned to him and he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"What do you mean?" He asked
"She's my mom. No one told you that Jenna's my mom?" She asked
"Why is she here?" She asked.

"She's the vampire sacrifice." He said and she looked at him
"Is she..."
"I was just about to do the transition." He shook his head then stopped.

"So if she's your mom... then Elena's..."
"My cousin."
"Oh for fuck sake." He turned from her.

"So?" Rory asked
"I'll call someone to get me another vampire." He said
"I'm sorry about your cousin." He said.

"She agreed to it. It's her life." Rory sighed
"Why is Rory here?" Elena asked
"Well, she's part of it. See I need the blood of my soulmate and she's very willing." He said

"Couldn't exactly say no." Rory muttered and he turned to her
"Any other relations you have?" He asked
"Nope." She said then the flames around Jenna disappeared and Rory ran to Jenna.

She wrapped her arms around her when the flames appeared again
"I'm gonna smell like fucking smoke." Rory mumbled.

💫

Klaus takes out the moonstone from his pocket
"I've got the moonstone. I spent 500 years looking for this. I hate to part with it." He said and gave it to Greta
"The moon has passed its apex. Remember everything you need to do?" She asked.

"I remember." He said and Greta put the moonstone into a stone bowl filled with flames and began chanting,
"Everything I did...I was just trying to help Tyler." Jules said.

"Are you Jules?" Elena asked
"I didn't want him to be alone!" She groaned in pain
"Shall we?" The fire disappeared as Jules started to transform then went to attack Klaus. He then pinned her to the ground and ripped her heart out as Rory, Elena and Jenna stand their in fear.

Klaus squeezed the blood from Jules' heart over the bowl into the flames
"Does that mean it's working?" He asked
"It's working." She nodded.

💫

Greta continued to chant when Klaus spoke
"I don't recall you being on the guest list." Rory, Jenna and Elena looked up to see Stefan
"I'm here to talk." He said.

"Very well, then." Klaus then sped up to Stefan
"What can I do for you, Mr. Salvatore?" He asked then Jenna turned to Rory
"You have a soulmate?" Jenna asked.

"I have 9. I promise I will explain everything." Rory said and she nodded
"I'm so glad you're gonna be okay." She hugged her.

💫

Klaus dragged Stefan to where they were when he stabbed him in the back
"Stefan!" Rory shouted as he fell
"I have other plans for your soulmate. I can't kill him but..." He then snapped his neck
"Whenever you're ready, Greta." He said and she began chanting.

"Your turn." He said to the vampire and the fire disappeared once again then staked them in the heart then pulled it out and put the blood into the bowl.

"Now for you, my love." He held out his hand and she took it
"Can you just bite my arm? My mom and my cousin are here." She said when he pulled her to his chest
"I could bite your lip." He brushed his thumb against her bottom lip.

"Neck is fine." She cleared her throat and he brushed her hair off her neck
"Have you been bit here before?" He asked and she nodded
"You'll be fine." He whispered then bit her neck.

Rory felt light headed as he bit her neck, the feeling of her blood leaving her body.

He pulled away then bit his wrist and held it to her
"Thank you, my love." He kissed her head
"I can't watch you kill my cousin, Nik." She whispered to him with tears in her eyes.

"Leave with your mother. I'll see you as soon as I can." He said and she nodded then hugged into her mom then she looked over at Elena
"I love you." She mouthed to her
"I love you too." She mouthed back and Rory and Jenna left.

They walked through the woods when Bonnie walked up to her
"I need your blood." She said and Rory nodded making a quick cut and it smears all over Bonnie's hand.

"Stefan will heal you." Bonnie rushed off and Damon sped past them
"Wait!" Rory shouted and Rory started to feel light headed.
"Rory." Jenna tapped her face as she slowly lowered to the ground.

She then looked at the cut to see a gash on her arm due to Bonnie quickly needing it.

"Aurora!" She shouted as her eyes closed.

💫

Elijah sped through the forest with Klaus once he had turned, trying to follow him. He then saw Rory laying on the ground as Jenna wrapped some of her shirt around her arm
"What happened?" He asked
"Bonnie needed her blood. No one was here to heal her." Tears ran down Jenna's face.

"You need to go, Jenna. I will look after her and she will be fine." He said. Klaus was still out there and probably out of control.

"Please. Go." He said and Jenna kissed Rory's head then reluctantly ran out of the woods.

💫

Rory woke up in a bed she didn't recognise, she immediately looked at her arm to see the wound had healed.

"Good to see you're awake, Elskan." She looked up to see Elijah,
"Is Elena okay?" Rory asked, trying to get out of bed
"Aurora, you nearly died due to blood loss for the others in your group. You need to rest."

"How long have I been out?" She asked
"Almost 2 days." He told her
"My mom." She realised.

"She knows you're safe." He reassured
"What happened to Nik?" She asked
"He's in his wolf form." He told her.

"Still?" She asked and he nodded.

"He has my siblings somewhere." He told her, Rory how happy he was
"Thank you." She hugged him
"For what?" He asked.

"For taking care of me the past couple of days." She said
"Aurora, I would do anything for you." He told her and she then looked at him before pressing her lips against his. Elijah smiled into the kiss and pulled her to his lap.

They pulled away as they smiled at each other
"We have to get Niklaus but before we will go to your house." He said and she nodded
"Let's go." She whispered.

💫

Jenna stood in the kitchen when Rory walked in
"Hi, mom." She said, Jenna rushed to her and wrapped her arms around her
"I'm so glad you're okay." She kissed her head.

"Rory?" She turned around to see Elena in the hallway and she ran to her, wrapping her arms around her
"Thank fuck you're okay." She said
"You are too." Elena wrapped her arms tighter around her cousin.

💫
Rory's Outfit

💫

Rory and Elijah walked into the forest hand in hand when they find Klaus naked waking up. Elijah then throws his clothes at him
"You've been busy." He said.

"That was amazing. How long has it been?" Klaus asked
"Almost 2 days. Full moon came and went. You remained a wolf." He said as Klaus put his clothes.
"I can change at will, then. It's good to know. I remember every single kill."

"Yes, I've been cleaning up your little mess along the way." Elijah told him
"Just like old times, brother." Rory then walked up to Klaus, taking off his jacket then handing it to him.

Klaus then wrapped his arms around her and buried his face in her neck. Rory felt his fangs brush against her neck where he had bitten as he looked up at his brother
"You've had your fun. I believe we have a bargain." Elijah said
"That's right. Now, what was it again? Oh, yeah. Wait. I remember. That's it. You wish to be reunited with our family." He said.

"You gave me your word, Niklaus." He told him
"What kind of brother would break his bond? Even though you did try to kill me." He said
"I could have. But I didn't." He told him.

"And now no one can, not even you. Relax, Elijah. All is forgiven." Klaus told him
"Where are they?" Elijah asked
"You need to lighten up. I'll bring you to them soon enough." He said.

💫

Rory, Elijah and Klaus walked into Alaric's apartment when Katherine looked at Rory
"Oh aren't you lucky." She looked at the three of them then Rory saw Stefan
"Klaus, you're back. Look who decided to come for a visit." Katherine said
"You just keep popping up, don't you?" Klaus said to him.

"I need your help...For my brother." Stefan glanced at Rory who looked confused
"Well, whatever it is, it's gonna have to wait a tick. You see, I have an obligation to my brother that requires my immediate attention." He said.

"You understand how important family is, or you wouldn't be here. My brother gave me his word that he would reunite me with my own." Elijah explained to Stefan
"And so I shall." Klaus then daggered Elijah in the heart then pushed Stefan against the wall.

"Now, what am I gonna do with you?" He puts a stake through Stefan
"Do you feel that? It's scraping against your heart. The slightest little movement and you're dead." He said
"You wouldn't do that. Me dead equals Rory dead." Stefan groaned.

"He's just trying to help his brother." Katherine told Klaus
"The witches said you had a cure. Make me a deal. Just give me the cure, and I'll do whatever you want." Stefan said then Klaus took the stake out.

Then Klaus walked over to the counter and poured some blood into a glass
"Trouble is I don't know if you'd be any good to me the way you are now. You are just shy of useless." He said. He then walked to Stefan as Katherine made sure Rory didn't move.

"I heard about this one vampire, crazy bloke, always on and off the wagon for decades. When he was off, he was magnificent. 1917, he went into Monterrey and wiped out an entire migrant village...A true ripper. Sound familiar?" He asked.

"I haven't been that way in a very long time." He told him
"Well, that's the vampire I can make a deal with. That is the kind of talent that I can use when I leave this town." Klaus said and Stefan got up.

"Katerina, come here." Katherine walked to him and he took ahold of her arm. His face changes and his eyes turn yellow as he bites her.
"No. No...No. No. No." She shouted in pain, Klaus then bit his own wrist then forces Katherine to drink his blood. Her would then starts to heal and he looked at Stefan.

"You want your cure? There it is." He said
"Your blood is the cure." Stefan realised
"Gotta love Mother Nature." Klaus put his hand on Stefan's shoulder.

"Now...Let's talk, you and I." Rory looked at them both then went to the bathroom. She then began to cough and gasp for air when she then spat something out.

Blood.

It felt as if her throat was closing up as she continued to throw up blood. Stefan rushed into the bathroom with Klaus behind him,
"What the fuck happened to Damon?" She asked as she wiped her mouth.

"He was bit by Tyler. He's dying." Stefan told her
"Which means Rory's dying." Katherine realised
"I'm going to see him." Rory held out her hand and Stefan helped her up.

"Is that a good idea, love?" Klaus asked her as she slowly walked to the door
"It is if you give them your blood." She then walked out the door.

💫

Rory walked into the Salvatore house when Elena rushed to her
"Stefan called. Are you alright?" She asked
"Apart from always feeling like my throat tightening every few minutes." She said as Elena helped her walk to Damon's room.

Damon laid in bed, dying when the door opened
"Damon?" He opened his eyes thinking he would see a hallucination when he saw Rory standing there with a sad smile on her face.

"Baby?" He whispered as she walked over to him
"Hi." She whispered as she laid next to him and Elena left the room
"You're burning up." He said.

"So are you." She replied as he hugged her close
"Everything will be alright." She whispered to him
"How do you know?" He asked.

"Because I love you." She said and he opened his eyes,
"You love me?" He asked and she nodded
"Am I hallucinating?" He asked.

"No. I love you." She gently kissed him
"I love you too."
"Well isn't this sweet." Rory turned her head to see Katherine.

"You always seem to ruin a good moment. Since the beginning of you being here." Rory said
"Nice to see death is still making you sarcastic." Katherine said then she held up a vial
"Look here. The cure for both of you." She said then walked to the bed.

"Here. Got places to be. People to run from." She gave it to Rory
"Thank you." She said
"A message from Klaus... check your phone." Katherine then sped out of there.

Rory poured the blood into Damon's mouth and he slowly began to heal. Rory then placed the blood on the nightstand and checked her phone.

'Leaving for a while. Will come back for you, love.'

'Goodbye from Nik and Stefan.'

"Because I nearly died does this mean the no sex ban is lifted?" Rory looked up at Damon and laughed.

"Shut up."
