   In the hallway, Alaric's eyes became normal again as he released Elena from his grasp. Just then, Stefan and Damon rushed up to him and grab him by his arms, "Do it now!" Damon shouted out.

Alaric pushed the two male vampires off of him and broke Stefan's back. Stefan fell to the ground, temporarily dead as Damon rushed towards Alaric, but Alaric snaps his neck at ease. Seeing both of her brothers on the ground, Mallory sped toward Alaric, but after a moment of she fighting, she, too, got her neck broken, which temporarily killed her.

About an hour later, Damon and Mallory were lying on the hallway floor, Damon's phone laying in between them. Just then, the duo were woken up as Damon's phone began to ring, Bonnie calling him.

Both Mallory and Damon woke up with a groan before Damon groggily picked up his phone, "Why am I still alive?" He complained, continuing to groan.

"I ask myself that same question every day," Mallory responded as Alaric suddenly walked up to them, causing Mallory's eyes to widen in alarm.

"Get up," Alaric demanded in a low, threatening tone.

A brief moment later, Stefan began to wake up as well, groaning in pain, "I said, get up," Alaric repeated his demand once more, "Klaus is gonna kill Elena."

"What?" Mallory asked in shock, she and her brothers quickly sitting up from laying on the ground.

"What are you talking about?" Stefan questioned, "Klaus needs Elena's blood to make hybrids. She's the last person that he'd kill."

"The witch bound my life to Elena's. If she dies, I die. Klaus figured that out and now he's taken her," Alaric explained, causing the group to share a worried look, "Now, I'm trapped here until the sun goes down, so you three better get doing what you do best. Saving Elena's life."

With that, Alaric walked between Damon and Stefan, knocking them both out of the way as he left.

At Klaus' mansion, after having so much blood taken from her body, Elena began to fade away. Tyler quietly entered the room and undid the ropes tying Elena to the chair, "What are you doing?" Elena asked Tyler groggily.

"Shhh," Tyler shushed her, continuing to untie Elena from the chair.

Just then, Elena saw Klaus standing in the doorway, "Tyler." She spoke up, her eyes wide in alarm

His eyes widened as well, Tyler turned around and stood up, facing Klaus, "So much for that sire bond." Klaus commented.

"I'm not your little bitch anymore," Tyler responded with an attitude, showing no fear toward Klaus.

Klaus smiled, beginning to toward him, "How did you break the sire bond?" He questioned the hybrid curiously.

  "By breaking every bone in my body a hundred times for the girl I love," Tyler replied in a calm tone, but Klaus felt himself not believing it.

  Klaus' face immediately fell at Tyler's words and the smile on his disappeared within an instant, "That's impossible." He argued in disbelief.

"Is it?" Tyler questioned, beginning to walk closer to Klaus, "Or maybe real love is stronger than fake loyalty. But what would you know about that?"

"You know, you should be thanking me. I gave you a gift. I took away your misery." Klaus pointed out, growling at Klaus.

"You didn't give a crap about me! You just didn't want to be alone!" Tyler shouted in Klaus' face before walking back toward Elena, helping her up, "Come on."
