Collisions [1]

The dagger

SKYLER'S POV

I was currently fighting a battle against my father, what a lovely thing to say. He literally just stepped foot into this town and doesn't give me a moment to breathe before deciding he wishes me dead. When I was younger and wished for parents, this is certainly not what I meant. Arcadius was casting spells my way, he blew fire out of his hand so I had no choice but to use water as a defence. There was a constant battle of magic, enchantments flew my way as I avoided them by either using my vampire strengths and my powers. My father's assistants were holding down my family so they had no choice but to fight and pray that they weren't murdered. Sybil had finally got up off her ass from when I knocked her out, her rage was bubbling out of her, I could sense all her emotions. They were definitely radiating.

One thing led to another and my father had caught me off guard. I collapsed onto the floor from him forcing me to. He used all his power to keep me held down, I laid there, shocked to my very core. His hand was wrapped around the bone dagger, the only weapon that can kill him. He started to raise it into the air, slowly but surely. I struggled to break free from his grasp but there was no way out.

Then I heard voices, the voices of the people I loved dearly and cared for. My friends, family and my boyfriend stood there in utter shock as they saw what was happening. Before they could do a single thing, my father had charged the dagger through my heart, my current state froze as everything went black. All I could hear was the cries and screams of Klaus, Yasmine, Rebekah, Stefan and the others. Klaus fell to the ground in pain as he watched my eyes close shut, tears ran down his face and the light within him had vanished.

I laid there, unable to move, as if I was paralysed but not quite dead. I witnessed as my father was now dealing with my loved ones. Yasmine sat next to me, crying into me as she hugged my body, my coat was now drenched in her tears. Thanks for that Yasmine.

I suddenly caught a breath and my fingers started to twitch as I prayed for the pain of the dagger to stop. I knew, the only one that could stop the agonising feeling was me. I slowly imagined my hands moving and I pictured the movements in my mind. From my imagination, my body started to replicate the movements I thought of.

My hands wrapped themselves around the dagger that was buried deep within me. With all the strength I had left, I started to pull the dagger out of me. I could hear everyone noticing my current situation. Words escaped there mouths as they stood there absolutely stunned. However the only sound I was focusing on was my breaths, the anxious feeling running through me. Whilst struggling, I managed to yank the bone dagger out of my chest, breathing in heavily as I sat up.

"Skyler?!" Yasmine exclaimed out of pure love and happiness. She enveloped me into a massive hug, wrapping her arms securely around me. "I thought I lost you!"

"Love.." Klaus whispered as I glanced at him and saw how red and puffy his eyes were from just a few moments of crying.

I smiled softly towards him as I quickly ran into his arms. "I'm okay, I'm fine. No harm, no foul." I spoke as he sighed in relief. Klaus took a breath as he held me close to him.

"How is that even possible? I stabbed you-" My father commented as he frowned at the situation. He glanced towards me with a puzzled look plastered on his face. I smirked as I held the only weapon that could kill him.

"I'm full of surprises." I replied but before I got the chance to end his wretched life, he disappeared into thin air. I groaned in response as I realised Selina had gone too. "Cowards." I hissed.

"Not all of us are." Sybil commented. My gaze switched towards her as she held a knife against my grandmother's throat.

"No! Sybil! Let her go now!" I screamed but she shook her head.

"Where's all the fun in that? Besides, I call this payback for knocking me out." She remarked whilst she winked at me.

Before I could do anything, Sybil ran the knife against my grandmother's throat, the blood shattered itself onto the floor as I stood there in horror. "NOOOOO!" My knees collapsed to the floor as I cried out for my dead grandmother. Bonnie stood there in complete terror as she held onto her mother, crying into her chest.

Klaus started to wrap my arms around me as a sign of reassurance but I struggled to contain a still position. I glanced up to see Sybil
smirking as I struggled to contain a steady stance. I wanted to rip her apart, make her pay for what she did. But before I got the chance, she vanished into thin air, I knew my father would have used his magic to bring her to him. "She's gone.." I whispered into Klaus' chest as I let the tears fall down my face. Klaus ran his fingers through my hair soothingly.

"I want to kill her. I want to make her suffer." I whispered into Klaus as I admitted my true intentions.

Moments passed by and everyone had fled to grieve, I hugged Bonnie and my mother as they followed me to the Mikealson Manor. I thought they could stay the night as we were all suffering from the lost of grams. I dragged my feet along back home. Klaus' arms were wrapped around me for support. Nobody said a word on the way back, the atmosphere was filled with utter silence.

When I entered the Mikealson Manor, where I currently lived, I rushed to my shared bedroom with Niklaus. As soon as I walked in, I reached into my closet for pyjamas as I was going to have a nice warm shower where I could cry and not be heard. I reluctantly laid my clothes on my bed as I dragged my feet to get a towel. Just when I was reaching for one, I heard a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I croaked in frustration.

The door slowly creeped open and Stefan entered the room. "I just came to see how you were." He softly said.

"I will be fine soon." I bluntly commented.

Stefan glanced at me with concern in his eyes as he stepped closer towards me. "What do you mean Skyler? You're not going to turn your humanity off are you?" Stefan asked as I heard the seriousness in his tone. I glanced at him with shock, not believing what he was saying.

"Excuse me?" I croaked.

"Skyler you can't do it. You will regret it, trust me. It's not worth it." Stefan commented as I stood there baffled.

"Are you actually serious right now?! In case you didn't notice, my grandmother is dead. But I wasn't for once thinking about turning my humanity off. I don't believe that's a way to escape, it's a way to put yourself in more torture. Besides, it's not like I can. My father is out there, right now. He's probably creating a plan to kill me so I don't actually think I have the time to switch off my humanity. Turning off your humanity is something I never wish to put myself through, I like to be in control with myself. So don't you dare give me a lecture on not to do something when I'm grieving someone that I loved and lost. Now's not the damn time." I exclaimed as tears ran down my face, I couldn't help it. I needed to let all my anger out and sadness out.

"Oh.." Stefan mumbled as I scoffed.

"Yeah, 'oh'." I mocked him as I turned around to face the wall.

"I think you should leave mate." Klaus remarks as I realise he was standing by the entrance, he probably heard everything. In fact, I think everyone did.

Without another word Stefan started to walk out but just before he left he decided to say something. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything." With that, Stefan leaves the room. I was still facing the wall as I wiped my tears away from my eyes.

"Love.. you don't have to hide yourself from me." Klaus declared as he walks over to me, he securely wraps his arms around me. My back was pressed against his front as I took a breath. I quickly turned around to face him. With no second to waste, I enveloped him into a hug, breathing in his scent.

"I wish she was still here." I stated as I hugged him tight, he ran his hands through my hair comfortingly.

"I know darling, I wish for her to be here too. But I am here for you, every step of the way. I will always be the shoulder you can cry on whenever you feel the need to." Klaus said kindly as I smiled.

"I will always be here for you too." I stated as I hugged him tighter if it were even possible, I never wanted to let him go.
