The next few days a lot of things happened. Firstly, Jules showed up looking for Mason and she stayed in town. So Klaus will have a werewolf. And I know she's innocent but she's a bitch. And I don't really care for her. Meanwhile, I'm ignoring Damon and anyone who has a problem with me. Meaning anyone who's going to yell at me for getting myself killed. So I mainly hung out with Care, Ty, and Jenna (I already told her everything). I didn't tell Vicky or Matt because that would just be a pain in the ass. I did tell Bonnie and she's pissed at me. As is Dames, Jer, Stefanie and Enzo. Oh well.

Rose and Trevor appeared in the boarding house one day. Now that they are free they were looking for me to thank me for the tip of using the right words. I told them Klaus still hasn't forgiven them so maybe they should get out of town but gave them daylight rings – Which they were really grateful for and told me they owed me one. I'm collecting favors. I feel like the Godfather. Godmother? Wait. Isn't that the fairy?

Anyway, Elijah also paid me a visit and told me I needed to behave and not get myself killed. Like that had an effect on me. But instead of pissing an original off, I nodded in agreement.

Then to add to all my problems John came back acting all mighty and I just ignored him. I really don't like the guy. But I can see that John is starting to talk to Damon, which is a problem if they're planning on daggering Elijah. So I have to talk to Damon and swallow my pride.

As you can see things are really complicated. But I do have a plan. Tomorrow is my weekly Friday night card game in the Underworld so I'm going to talk to the Gods about the ritual. My plan is the following:

1)      Ask Hades if a spelled blood bag with my blood that refills itself will work for Klaus.

2)     If that works, I will then take blood and spell the bag before I called Klaus.

3)     If that doesn't work I will ask if I can cast a spell on the blood bags to double them. – as much as I want Klaus to have his hybrids or whatever, I really don't want to drain my blood off me. Klaus doing it once is enough.

4)    After I have the blood bag problem solved, I will craigslist Klaus and hope he appears.

5)     After that it's all unpredictable.

6)    In the meantime I have to find a way to come back to life. But technically if I solve the blood bag problem I can just come back as a vampire! It wouldn't be that bad.

I really need to talk to the Gods. Fuck. In the meantime, I have to talk to Damon. So I apparated to the boarding house and sat myself down on a couch waiting for one of the brothers to appear. Luckily (I guess) the one I was looking for appeared.

"I thought you were ignoring me." He told me as he appeared in the living room.

"I was. But then again you were right." I told him when he just looked at me blankly I continued, "I should've told you about the sacrifice. I'm sorry."

"But you're not sorry about killing yourself are you?" He asked bitterly.

"Technically Klaus is going to kill me," I mutter and he looks at me unimpressed. "No, I'm not sorry. I want to do this."

"But you'll die." He said loudly.

"Nope. Not having this talk again. I told you I would take care of it." I say angrily. I really don't want to do this shit again.

"How? How are you taking care of it?"

"I'm talking to the Gods tomorrow. If what I ask them is true then I can just die with vampy blood on my system and I'll be fine." I tell him.

"Or we can just kill Elijah and Klaus." He says.

"Are you talking about the daggers John told you about?" I ask him and he's taken by surprise but then masks it.

"What if I am? It'll work."

"No, it won't. A) If you're the one to dagger him you'll die. A vampire can't use it."

"John didn't mention that..." He mutters.

"B) It doesn't work on Klaus. C) You'll just piss Elijah off. D) That plan is just stupid."

"I don't know if you get it. But we're trying to keep you alive." He tells me.

"I know that. And I don't want that to be your problem" I say.

"But it is my problem."

"Why?"

"Cause I love you for fuck's sake."

"And that will get you killed." I sigh, "Look, in the show, everyone was always trying to keep Elena alive. Everything was about her. But this isn't about me. I don't care if I die."

"I care if you die." He shouts.

"You need to chill the fuck down, Dames." I tell him with a pursed lips, "I told you. I don't want to die. I'll figure it out. But I'm not Katherine or Elena. I won't put myself in front of others. Besides if you piss off Elijah you will die."

"You know what? Fine. Fine! You go and die, but don't expect me to be there watching." He says and then storms out. I sigh. Fucking Hell. At least now (hopefully) Damon won't dagger Eli. After that not-so-fun talk with Damon, I left for my house and fell asleep. The next day when I woke up I got ready and found Jenna watching Tv so I sat down next to her.

"Why are you sulking?" She asked me after a while.

"Who said I was sulking?"

"You have a frown on your face, and you didn't laugh with the Friends episode. Either you're sulking or just sick." She said. Brat.

"I just... I had a fight with Damon and I'm ignoring the others and Urgh..." 

"Have a glass," Jenna says and stands up grabbing a bottle of gin and two shot glasses.

"Really?"

"Yeah. I'm having some troubles with Rick, you're having trouble with the world. Have a glass or two." She grins.

"But I'm 17," I tell her confused (she usually doesn't let me drink.)

"Technically you're 32." She smirks and pours the shots and I take one "So this doesn't make me irresponsible. Right?"

"Right!" I chuckle and we gulp down the shots. That was how I spent my afternoon with Jenna. Watching Friends and drinking gin. After a while we decided to sober up, so we ordered a pizza. Then I went to sleep so I could go to the underworld.

Once I got there, the Underworld was in the form of New Orleans and I found the Gods sitting in a bar. And once I got there I seated down, and they were all looking at me.

"What?" I ask them.

"You're off." Nyx tells me bluntly, "What happened?"

"I just... I have a question." I say.

"You can ask us anything Ellie" Persephone smiles as Hades nods, Thanatos looks at me curiously and Hypnos sleeps.

"If I were to take a bag of blood with my blood inside it and cast it so it refills itself and never ends. Would that work? Would Klaus be able to turn hybrids with that blood?" I ask them.

"Yes, he would. But because the blood will be under a spell there will be some consequences." Hades tells me.

"What kind of consequences?" I ask confused.

"Well, as long as you have a little blood you can multiply it, but it will be charmed," Nyx explained.

"One of the possible consequences is that the magic will be able to break the sire bond of the hybrids," Hades explained.

"But that's good!" I exclaim.

"Yes but there can be bad consequences," Persephone sighs.

"But this is not the case," Hades rebuts her, "The magic will come from her and the blood is her own, which means you're not doing anything against other beings. You're merely trying to help them. So its consequences aren't bad. If the blood were to be from someone else, then there would be the chance that someone could die or something along those lines."

"But I won't die?" I ask confused.

"Not because of the spell. It's your own blood and you can do whatever you want with it." Thanatos explained.

"That's good then," I sigh in relief, "I still have a question."

"Ask away." Nyx grins.

"For the sacrifice, Klaus needs me to be sacrificed. And now that I know this blood thing works, if I die with a vampire system on me, I will come back right?" I ask and they nod.

"Yes but then the ritual wouldn't have the same results," Thanatos says.

"What do you mean?"

"The ritual needs a sacrifice. If you turn into a creature of the night the sacrifice will be canceled out. Because technically you came back as a non-living living person," Hades explains.

"So you're dead but you're still alive. That means it cancels out the sacrifice." Nyx concludes.

"But if you were to die and come back to life then it would work," Thanatos mutters.

"Isn't that the same? If I die with vampy blood on my system I come back to life."

"No, you come back as a dead person." Nyx rebuts me.

"Exactly. But if you came back from the dead. Like a second chance at living. The sacrifice wouldn't be canceled because you're fully alive." Persephone explains.

"Ok, but how do I do that without taking the life of another person?" I ask them.

"With a gift from a God," Thanatos says.

"What?"

"It's my gift for you." Thanatos replies, "I'm the God of Death I'm at full liberty to give you another chance at living."

"But I don't want to cause trouble or anything," I say and he waves me off.

"El, you're not causing trouble. My gift for you is that once you're killed in the ritual you will come back. A third chance at living, let's put it like that." He smiles.

"But what if I get turned into a vampire afterward?"

"Nothing will happen. Another chance at living means the sacrifice will stay behind." Hades says and then smiles gratefully at Thanatos.

"Ooh, what will be the sign of the gift?" Nyx asks with a grin, "I mean, yours and Persephone's were the eyes. What about Thanatos?"

"Imagine I get his face printed on my back!" I gasp, "That would be disturbing."

"Hear, hear," Nyx smirks, "Let's hope it's just a minimal tattoo instead of a whole portray." Then I hear Persephone whisper something to Hades which in turn he nods. I was curious but I shrugged it off.

After some card games with the Gods – which I won (mostly). I went to sleep. When I woke up the first thing I did after getting ready was go take blood in the hospital. Once I did get a blood bag of my blood I returned home and cast three spells on it. One, the infinity spell. Two, a spell to keep the blood fresh without the need for a refrigerator and shit. Three, a spell to keep it from breaking and whatnot – this way if Rebekah has a fit the bag won't get mulled. Then I hid it in the tree along with the Gilbert watch, the moonstone, and the white oak stake. Then I went into Craigslist and wrote something for Klaus. Here's what:

Dear Santa Klaus,

I hope this reaches you. If you're tired of having half of yourself locked up. Like a wolf out of his pack. This is for you. I know about a wolf who's waiting to be impaled. A bat is in a street waiting to be turned. Then we have the stone from the moon, that really just looks like soap, and finally the piece that's missing in order to set you free. The doppelbitch. That's me BTW. Come to the falls that are mystic where it all started. I'm willing to volunteer as a tribute. Fear not, I will not kill you. I'm not crazy. Sometimes.

So I call upon you, Santa Klaus. And I hope you'll grace me with your presence. AND hear what I have to say before I get drained from blood in the circle of fire.

You know you need me,

XOXO – Doppelbitch (who's way prettier than Kitty Kat.)
