Vicki's POV

When we arrive at the quarry, I see Greta along with Elena and the other sacrifices. They are all surrounded by circles of fire.

"My loyalty is to Klaus, the new order." God, she sounds like she was brainwashed.

"Glad to know I still have a dance partner." he smirks.

As Niklaus greets Greta, I take out a few blood bags from my purse. I quickly chug them down for strength. I'll need all my strength for this.

"Victoria will be doing the spell. Greta, dear, you will make sure our sacrifices stay in line."

I make sure everything is in place and he hands me the moonstone.

I look up to the sky and back to him. "The moon is past its apex. Remember everything you need to do?"

"I remember."

I drop the moonstone on the tree stump that I'll be using for the spell. It sparks, everything ready.

The spark turns into a fire and I start chanting. 

"Phasmatos Tribum, Salve Sorce Das. Phasmatos Eliximo Nominum, Etrinox Sorce Sotero Callux Oxtara. Phasmatos Tribum, Salve Sorce Das. Phasmatos Eliximo Nominum, Etrinox Sorce Sotero Callux Oxtara."

Niklaus walks over to the first sacrificial participant.

"Shall we?"

Greta removes the fire from around them and before the werewolf can attack him, he grabs them. He speeds over to the alter, pushing them to the ground and ripping out their heart.

He looks up with a euphoric look on his face.

"Phasmatos Tribum, Salve Sorce Das. Phasmatos Eliximo Nominum, Etrinox Sorce Sotero Callux Oxtara."

He brings the heart over to me and squeezes it over the stumps, blood dripping down.

The liquids below start to bubble.

"Does that mean it's working?"

"It's working." Greta says from behind me.

"Phasmatos Tribum, Salve Sorce Das. Phasmatos Eliximo Nominum, Etrinox Sorce Sotero Callux Oxtara."

He walks back over to the circles of fire. Elena tries to persuade him against killing the vampire.

I stop my chanting to interrupt. Greta carries on. "He's a serial rapist Elena. You don't want to save him." she looks at the vampire in shock, he has the nerve to smirk. Disgusting.

As I start chanting again, Stefan shows up. Niklaus goes to speak with him.

He tries to stop him from going through with it, naive.

They come back down to us, only for niklaus to stab Stefan in the back with a stake to ensure he doesn't interfere.

Greta removes the next circle while I keep chanting.

"Phasmatos Tribum, Salve Sorce Das. Phasmatos Eliximo Nominum, Etrinox Sorce Sotero Callux Oxtara."

The vampire speeds over and bites Greta but Niklaus rips him off and throws him down. He stabs him in the heart with a stake, killing him.

He brings me the blood of the vampire and I pour it into the concoction. It bubbles again.

Now It's Elena's turn. He slowly walks over to her.

"Phasmatos Tribum, Salve Sorce Das. Phasmatos Eliximo Nominum, Etrinox Sorce Sotero Callux Oxtara."

"It's time." the fire around her disappears. She slowly stands up, walking past him without a word. She goes to stand near me, looking at the dead vampire in disgust.

He goes to stand behind her. "Thank you, Elena."

"Go to hell." she spits.

He smiles and sinks his teeth into her neck. Successfully draining her.

Bringing me the last ingredient, I pour it in.

I glance at Greta and we nod to each other, us both chanting now.

"Phasmatos Tribum, Salve Sorce Das. Phasmatos Eliximo Nominum, Etrinox Sorce Sotero Callux Oxtara."

The fire extinguishes. Niklaus starts breathing heavily.

"I can feel it. It's happening." as he looks up at the moon, his bones begin to break. His famous hybrid face surfaces.

Then all of a sudden, he is flown back.

I can hear Bonnie chanting and Damon comes up behind us, snapping Greta's neck, thus killing her.

I focus all of my magic onto Damon. I bring him to his knees, causing all sorts of pain, then I snap his neck.

Stefan is still struggling on the ground from the stake.

Elijah comes up to him, putting his hand in his chest.

"Elijah no!"

I go behind Bonnie, blowing herbs in her face, successfully knocking her out. They will also take away her powers just for a bit.

I run up to the two brothers. "Elijah, your siblings are not at sea, they are safe. Don't do this, please."

"I will reunite you with them brother, you have my word."

Elijah looks conflicted before he looks at Stefan and then turning back to us. He removes his hand from Niklaus' chest and rushes away with him. I follow.

We reach about a mile away in the woods, where Nikalus can peacefully transform into his true self.

Now we wait.
