Arianna Gilbert (Vampire Diaries)

Chapter 45

“Tonight is the full moon, we should assume that Klaus is prepared to break the curse.” Elijah tells us, causing my heart drop 10 feet. I don’t know if I’m ready to die tonight…

“Elena told me that the Sun and Moon Curse is a fake and it’s really just a curse placed on Klaus?” Stefan frowns, verifying his information. 

“Klaus is a vampire born of a werewolf bloodline. The curse has kept his werewolf side from manifesting, but if he breaks it, he’ll be a true hybrid.” Elijah states. 

“Then why are we letting him break the curse? We could kill him today, with Bonnie.” Damon insists, walking into the room. Seeing him once again breaks my heart.

“No, Bonnie can’t use that much power without dying.” Elena argues. 

“I’ll write her a great eulogy.” Damon sighs, throwing his hands up.

“It’s not an option Damon.” Elena glares, while Damon glares back at her. At least I know he still wants to save me. 

“Alright, how do we break this curse?” Stefan asks, changing the subject. 

“The ritual is a little more complicated because of Arianna. The ingredients, so to speak, you already know.” Elijah answers. 

“The moonstone.” I say. 

“A witch will channel the power of the full moon to release the spell that is bound within the stone. After that, with Klaus being both vampire and werewolf he will sacrifice one of each.” Elijah explains, since when does he need a vampire and werewolf? Maybe he will sacrifice Katherine?

“So where do Aria and I fit in?” Elena questions, causing me to close my eyes. He’s going to tell them how I have to be sacrificed. So not good for me.

“First, Klaus will drink your blood, Elena, to the point of your death. Do you wish for me to tell them Aria?” Elijah asks, looking over at me. 

“Tell us what?” Damon demands. I open my eyes, giving Elijah a nod of my head. They have a right to know.

“Aria is a rare occurrence, there was predicted to be only two dopplegangers once. Aria’s blood has power in it, that will gain Klaus strength and abilities. But to get her power, he has to stab her in the heart with an enchanted dagger. The dagger will drain the power from her blood so to speak. Then Klaus will stab himself with the dagger, taking her power.” Elijah explains, causing everyones eyes to snap towards me. Great…

“That’s where you come in though.” I smile. 

Elijah nods, “This is an elixir I acquired some 500 years ago for Katerina. It posses mystical properties of life, so to speech.”

“So Aria and I will be dead, then we won’t?” Elena asks. Not really, I will have to stay dead. 

Elijah nods, but he shoots a look at me. I look away from him, not wanting to be reminded of my fate. I certainly don’t want his sympathy.

“So that’s your guys plan? A magical witch potion with no expiration date?” Damon questions, ‘If you two want to come back to life, what about John and Jeremy’s rings?”

“Those rings only work on humans, dopplegangers are a supernatural occurrence. Odds are, the rings won’t work.” Elijah responds. That gives me better odds than I have.

“Well, I’ll take those odds over some magical elixir.” Damon glares, before his look softens for the first time and he looks over at me. “What if it doesn’t work Aria?” he whispers. It won’t work, not on me at least.
