Chapter 23

Nyra's POV
_____________

What the hell have I done?

Anything?

ANYTHING!?

I should have put a limitation on anything!

I couldn't just let Jenna die. Not when I could stop it and not when it's my fault she is in that situation.

I was terrified.

I didn't like the look on his face.

I knew whatever he had planned for me, was bad, but I couldn't just let Jenna die, not after everything she had done for me and Elena.

I couldn't live with the guilt that it was our fault that she was dead.

I couldn't live with her not being there, she was my only connection to my birth family and I wouldn't let her die. So I was prepared to do anything.

Anything.

My heart was thumping hard against my chest. I could hear it and feel it. I waited for him to speak. His eyes searched mine as if trying to see how serious I was about this. I would give my life up for Jenna and whatever he wanted, I would do.

I was hoping Damon would get up, but I knew that even if he could, he couldn't take on Klaus, he was stronger than both him and Stefan combined.

Nothing could save me now.

I was to face this alone.

"It's interesting." After what seemed forever, he spoke. He leaned back against the wall and stared down at me.

"I wonder how far you'll go to save your aunt.... if there's anything you wouldn't do."

"I told you, I will do anything," I said sternly.

"Well, you're in luck." Something tells me I'm not.

"There is something that caught my eye, sweetheart." He moved behind me, my eyes flickered to Katherine who seemed just as tense as I was.

"You can have your aunt back, alive and well." I felt his chest press against my back, his finger trailing over my shoulder, wasn't a good feeling, having a vampire so close to your neck.

"And all it would cost is your time. I want you to stop fighting against me and to come to me whenever I ask of you," My eyes widened and I spun around to face him, he pulled me against him.

"How does that tempt you, sweetheart?" Tempting indeed but not today. I tried to step away from him, but he pulled me back to him.

"It doesn't tempt me at all!" I lied. I tried wiggling against him.

"I'm surprised this is your response, love." He held me still, "Knowing how much you love your aunt."

"Why?"

"Do I need a reason?"

"I deserve one." I shot back. "Why me?"

"Because I would find this particular conquest, deeply rewarding. On the plus side, you'll serve as the reminder that I conquered my only curse," His fingers brushed my bra strap down my shoulder. My heart started to flutter. I watched his fingers slide them down before looking back at him. "Jenna's future lays in your hands....well, not your hands exactly."

"Stop" I whispered as I pulled away.

"No one will ever have to know." His eyes gazed down at Damon's unconscious form. jumped at the feeling of his lips on my neck. I hope that my werewolf scent keeps itself masked. Ever since Katherine sniffed me out, I've been covering my scent so that I would pass off as human. I'm glad I have so that Klaus won't gain even more pleasure.

"Fine," I muttered before speaking louder. "How do I know you won't go back and kill Jenna anyway?"

"You have my word."

"That means nothing to me."

"Katerina, call Greta, tell her to hold off with our dear aunt Jenna."

She nodded and picked up his phone. "You'll tell Jenna, Stefan, whoever asks, that you just changed your mind and had a backup, that you only just wanted to see our faces," I told him sternly. "So they don't suspect anything." He chuckled lowly to himself.

"Done." We both turned to Katherine. She looked at me in agony.

"They won't do anything until you give the word."

"Thank you, Katerina." He turned his attention back to me. She mouthed 'I'm so sorry' once Klaus glanced at me

What made me feel more guilty is that I was excited when Klaus offered the deal. It was as if my body knew him and yearned for him.

How could I ever face my family again?

I feel like I've shamed them.

"I'll keep my end of the bargain," I spoke sternly; clearing my voice like this didn't just happen.

"Indeed you will, I know how seriously you take promises."

"Now keep yours." I spun around to face him, ignoring his previous statement.

"We never speak of this again."

"It won't matter, soon your sister will be dead and you won't have no one to turn to, only me." He smirked, and I frowned in response. "Don't look so glum, I like you."

"Fantastic." I rolled my eyes. His hand went through mine and pressed it against the wall, his body pressed against mine.

"What are you doing?"

"Appreciating what will soon be mine." He said in an almost whisper-like. "I almost pity Damon for losing something so valuable."

"I'm not an object to be seized, Klaus. Especially not Damon's, I'm my own woman," I tried to ruffle my hand out of his, but he kept a tight hold. "Let me go. You got what you wanted."

He just continued to stare at me; he studied every feature of my face and brushed his lips against my cheek before pulling away.

Without looking at me, he moved to the door, I stayed where I was, pushed up against the mirror.

"Come."

"You'll let Jenna go?"

"You have my word."

"If I find out you're lying-"

"You'll what?" He turned to face me, closing the gap dangerously between us. He towered over me as I stared vulnerably up at him.

"Then when you take me-" I squared up to him. "I will fight; I will never stop trying to get away from you."

"Wouldn't want that." He took a few steps around me. Almost encircling. As he stood behind me, I felt his warm silk breath hit my ear. "After you, sweetheart."

He was behind me every step of the way. He took me to the site where I think the sacrifice was going to happen.

I did everything in my power to try and delay it. I started walking really slowly, asking inappropriate questions, but Klaus wasn't having any of it.

"C'mon now, dear." He said through clenched teeth as he dragged me by my wrist.

"All I'm saying was that this seems too tacky for someone as old as you!" He harshly tugged on my wrist at this point.

"OW! I can walk on my own!" I growled at him and pulled against his strong grip.

He sighed and I was hauled in front of him, his arms wrapped around my front as he held me tight against his chest. I couldn't move. "Get off me!"

"Hush, hush."

"I demand to be released!"

"I tend to do stupid things when I'm impatient Adnyra-" He whispered into my ear. "So please, don't tempt me."

"Adnyra?" I snapped my head up to see Elena. "Are you ok?"

"I'm fine." I lied.

The guilt was still weighing heavy on my heart.

I could see Jenna too. Despite how ashamed I am of what I did, I wouldn't have taken it back, not if it meant she would be safe.

"My duty is to Klaus. The new order." That stupid witch said.

"What a kiss ass," I muttered.

"Glad to know I still have a dance partner," Klaus spoke calmly with his stupid charming smile on his face.

"Hello, my lovelies." He said, and I scoffed at him.

"Are we ready?" His eyes flickered to Jenna.

"Hello, Jenna." He wasn't even trying to conceal that he was hiding something.

'Bastard' I thought to myself as I tried to push myself off him, but he held my wrists together.

"Let her go," Elena demanded.

"I understand that we have to die, but she doesn't-" She tried to walk towards Jenna, but the flames surrounding them both went up.

"Careful." Klaus scowled her patronizingly, like a child.

"Elena, don't," Jenna told her sternly.

"No, Jenna. We can't leave Jeremy without a family." Elena pleaded. "We followed your rules. We did everything that you asked. We didn't run."

"We made a deal." I hissed to Klaus, making sure that he alone heard.

"And it's a superb one." He smirked down at me.

"Greta." He jerked his head at Jenna.

She nodded and stared where Jenna was, surrounded by fire which dimmed once she began to chant her spell.

"I-I don't understand." She said to me.

"He's letting you go," I told her. "Go." I motioned my head to the side, to emphasize that she should leave.

"I'm not leaving you two." She shook her head, "No way."

"Leave," I said to her sternly. "If you stay, he will kill you."

"I don't care. I am not leaving you."

"Go," I repeated. "Now."

"How can you ask me of that?"

"Because today you can't protect us, Jenna, and you shouldn't die trying. Please." She hesitated and looked towards Elena.

"Get as far away from here as possible. Please." Elena said to her.

She looked at me hesitantly and I tried to pass on a message through my facial expressions. She soon nodded and with a once over at Klaus, she took off running.

I sighed with relief. I was terrified that what I had just done would be for nothing and that Klaus would go back on his word. Now we just needed to wait for Damon and Elijah.

I then heard yells and I turned to see...Alice?

"Err...." I looked at Klaus hoping to get some explanation.

It was the girl we had met at Slater's. She's finally gets turned into a vampire and now she is going to die.

"Satisfied, love?" I turned my head and just stared coldly at him. "You are welcome, sweetheart."

"I didn't say thank you."

"I know. That's really rude." He leaned down towards me, grabbing my arm but I tore away from him. Unfortunately, he hauled me back in. "You know, you should learn to be more grateful."

"And you should learn not to be such an ass," I answered back childishly.

He chuckled to himself, "I am looking forward to having you around, love"

"I'm not your love."

"And who's going to stop me from taking you, love?" Ugh, he's so annoying.

"Oh, you'll get what's coming one-day asshole."

His hand rode to my hip and stroked it over a couple of times with his thumb. "Oh, I can't wait to taste your blood. Your scent is mouth-watering."

When no one was looking, I quickly took a whiff of myself. My werewolf scent was still masked, phew. I smelt good, but not good enough to eat!

I looked over at Elena and waited for the fire to go down before I went and sat by her. "He let her go?" She whispered to me. "Why?"

"I don't know." I lied.

"But why do you think?"

"Maybe he didn't need her. He just needed a vampire." I replied without looking at her. I watched as Greta began chanting a new spell whilst Klaus watched. Where was Stefan? Where was Damon?

"But he could easily have used Jenna."

"You know he can hear you, let's not make him change his mind." I pointed out.

"You think she's safe?"

"I do and that's what matters."

Our attention then changed to where Jules was. She was surrounded by fire just like us. I felt pretty bad for her, she was only in the situation because of us. We were the reason for the sacrifice and we were the reason that Klaus had to find another werewolf.

"Everything I did, I was just trying to help Tyler," Jules said to us.

Elena looked at me confused. "It's Jules," I said to her. She nodded and her mouth formed an O shape.

"I didn't want him to be alone." She continued to cry out in pain.

"Shall we?" I heard Klaus say.

"No," I mumbled.

As he went over to Jules, she bared her teeth and went to attack him, but he was too strong and overpowered her easily, ripping out her heart in seconds. His hand, holding her heart, the same hands which were all over me earlier.

Block it out, Nyra. Block it out.

"Jenna should be with them now," Elena muttered as she sat by me.

"She is," I told her. She looked in the distance and her whole body started to emit waves of sadness.

"Lena, we're going to get through this." I wrapped my hand around hers.

"I just want it to be over," She whispered.

I wrapped my arms around her even though we all knew a hug wasn't going to fix this.

"How sweet." I heard Klaus's comment.

"Bite me," I said sharply. "Wait...crap, not literally."

"I will, shortly."

"Seriously wrong choice of words there," Elena said to me.

"I know. That's the annoying thing about vampires."

"Oh, that's the annoying thing?" Elena scoffed.

"Your turn." I looked up to see he was talking to Alice.

"No!" She screamed at him.

He sighed and rolled his eyes, as he went to grab her she ran at her newfound vampire speed and bit into Greta. "GO ALICE!" I yelled. "BITE THAT WITCH BITCH!"

I think I have found a new level of respect for her!

"LET'S GO ALICE!"

"Nyra!" Elena tried to tug me down.

"What? This may be our loop pole!" I pulled away from her.

"NO, NO! ALICE BEHIND YOU! FOR GOD SAKE ALICE, LOOK ALIVE! BEHIND YOU!"

Despite my words of warning, Alice didn't look and see Klaus come up behind her and pull her off too soon for Greta to be killed. He shoved her to the ground, flipped her on her back and stabbed the stake into her chest. Her flesh began to turn gray like I had seen many times before.

It was sickening how comfortable he was doing it.

"What did he do to you?" Elena turned to me.

"Nothing."

"He must have done something!" Elena exclaimed.

"We just traded the usual insults. That's all." I muttered.

"That's all?"

"Yes, Elena. That's all."

"But why did he separate us?"

"I don't know. Maybe because he probably thought we would plot against him if we were together." I lied, knowing that I was going to get a lot more of these questions.

She stayed silent for a moment before starting up again. "He must have said something!"

"Well, he didn't."

"You were gone for an hour!"

"Elena." I snapped. "Is this really what you want to talk about right now?"

Klaus poured Alice's blood into the fire before turning to us. "It's time." He announced.

"Err...not according to my watch," I said awkwardly as I tapped it.

He offered out a hand.

I sighed and stood up first, but Klaus held up his hand.

"Elena first." He smiled.

The fire disappeared and Elena looked at me before standing up.

"It's ok." She whispered to me. "It's ok."

But it wasn't.

She was going to be a vampire, stupidly because she didn't want me to have to go through it alone.

I couldn't watch it happen. I turned away so I didn't have to see. I felt so sick... so defeated.

I didn't see it. I heard Elena say "Go to the hell."

"That's my sister," I whispered.

I closed my eyes and waited.

"I have a good feeling, although it's not quite there." I looked over my shoulder to see Klaus wiping his lips with were stained with my sister's blood.

Elena's body lying on the floor, I knew she wasn't in transition yet, but she was going to be. He held out his hand to me. "Come."

I didn't move, still devastated at how the night was going. He raised a brow and took a stride towards me. "Wait! I'm coming!"

I stood up and shoved past him. I crossed my arms and stood there, waiting for him. He encircled me, but I didn't dare make eye contact. He chuckled again and moved behind me. The familiar feeling of his lips on my neck hit me as he kissed from my shoulder joint to my jawline. His hands resting, around my stomach.

"What are you waiting for? Just do it." I hissed.

"As you wish," I felt the sharp pierce of his fangs. I gasped at the impact. I had been bitten before, but it never felt this painful. I let out a cry against the pain, he held me firmly against him as he sucked. One hand moved from my stomach, into my hair, jerking it so he could get better access. He moaned and his sucking intensified.

I felt the life slip from me slowly, I could feel all the blood being taken. I began to fall into his grip, not able to stand up on my own. I felt my energy being sucked away, it was an unimaginable feeling of everything leaving my body. His arm forced my back against his chest, I felt his tongue soak up some of the blood that was slipping down my shoulder.

Just as I felt the remaining of my energy leave me, he stopped and I fell to the ground.

But I was alive.

I was alive.

I could hear my heartbeat. It was slow, extremely slow, but it was there.

I was the 30%.

My head fell on the cold ground, I was so tired. My eyes squinted up at Klaus, but I was so dizzy that his face blurred. "Just as I suspected." He sat down, I felt the drops of my blood from his mouth fall on me. He put his finger where it fell and licked it up. "Mmm, ravishing."

"Die." I croaked.

"Greta." He called out. "Take my new trophy back."

I saw her feet and when I looked up, there were three of her, I shook my head, but I could barely see. "Oh, he is going to have a lot of fun with you." She laughed.

"I can feel it. It's happening."

Was the last thing I heard, before I couldn't hear anymore, I couldn't even see. I was so tired, I couldn't open my eyes. I felt myself being moved, I tried to fight against the person, but my whole body was too heavy.

Too heavy.
