I just started putting pictures of the outfits Melissa is wearing for each chapter.
Melissa
Stefan, Damon and Elena are preparing everything for their plan to kill Klaus. I still can't they are going through with this plan. What makes it even worse is that every time I try to talk to Rebekah about helping me stop this plan, she ignores me.
I know that Rebekah is upset about Nik killing her mother and keeping it from for thousands years but what happens she gets over it. She has been mad at him loads of times before and has gotten over it. Just yesterday she was ready to tear Elena apart for wanting to kill him and now she is helping them kill him.
They were about to put their plan into action. They were planning earlier today.
Flashback to a few hours ago
"Lets say that Mikael followed Elena in here. He tried to grab her, so he could use her as bait." Stefan said.
Elena said back "And you what? Vervained him?"
"No! We vervained him. This guy an Original. To make it look realistic." Damon said to them.
"Ok fine. We vervained him, in the process discovered that he had a dagger." Stefan said
"Which he planned to use on Rebekah but instead..." Elena said and Stefan finished by saying "We drove it through his heart."
"What happens when he asks to see Mikael's body?" Elena asked.
"Good point! You my brother have been compelled to do what Klaus says. So the idea is to lure him back here and kill him, the last thing we need is you getting tripped up and tongue-tied." Damon said to Stefan.
"Well, don't look at me I am just in charge of getting him back here." Stefan says back.
"Klaus is smart, if we tell him that Mikael is dead, he'll want proof." Elena said, this is probably the only thing she's said that isn't stupid.
Mikael walked in "Then I shall be dead."
"What if he wants to see you in person?" She questioned.
"Well that means our plan is working, Klaus will absolutely want to see my body. You lure him here and I will kill him." He said.
"With what? Those daggers won't work on him." Stefan says.
"Well, I'm in possession of a stake fashioned from the wood of the ancient white oak tree. The one that left these ashes when it burned."
"Where is it?" Wow, does Stefan really think Mikael is going to give away that information?
"Not here. The knowing of it's location is my insurance policy."
"Against what?"
"You leaving this in my heart. You see a vampire can't dagger an original without dying. So, it falls to you." He gives the dagger to Elena.
She looked shocked "You want me to actually dagger you?"
"Klaus will leave nothing to chance especially when it comes to trust."
Back in present day, Stefan is about to call Klaus and I listen in on the conversation.
Klaus: Portland is fantastic. Once you get over all the whiny music and healthy looking people, it is literally a breeding ground for werewolves.
Stefan: Your father is dead.
Klaus: What did you just say to me?
Stefan: Oh, my mistake. Not your actual father and not dead, Mikael. Daggered. What do you want me to do with the body?
Klaus: Well, first I want you to tell me exactly what happened.
Stefan explained everything about Elena daggering Mikael just as they planned.
Klaus: I want to see him. I want to see his rotting body for myself.
Stefan: Well, he is here. Come by whenever.
Klaus: If you are lying to me Stefan, your compulsion will expose you. So, answer with your life...Is what you are saying the truth?
Stefan: It's true. I saw it with my own eyes.
Klaus: I wanna talk to Rebekah.
Stefan: That's not a problem. She is right here
He handed the phone to Rebekah
Rebekah: Hello Nik.
Klaus: Rebekah, love. What's this that I hear about Mikael's tragic run in with a dagger?
Rebekah: It's true. He's finally out of our lives for good. I miss you. I'm miserable here.
Klaus: I'll be home soon.
Rebekah: Good. I'll see you then, brother.
She hangs up the phone and turns to look at the others. "He bought it. He's coming home."
"Well, I guess you all got what you wanted. He'll be dead by the night." I walked upstairs to my room. Klaus is coming back, he's coming back. I definitely have to figure out how to pull the plug on their plan.
I sit down on the bed and start to brainstorm some ideas. So, I could locate and steal the stake but it would be so obvious; it was me. I am the only who's against the plan. Or I could call Klaus and tell him not to come back but then they would figure out it was me.
I need to find a way to stop this plan without having to deal with the wrath of Rebekah and Mikael. My phone started to ring. It was Klaus, so I answered it.
Melissa: Two times in one week, I must be lucky.
Klaus: And Hello to you too. What have you been up to?
Melissa: You know the usual. Showing Rebekah the joys of high school, trying not to rip the Doppelbitch's head.
Klaus: Still using that nickname for her I see.
Melissa: What? It suits her.
I start to hear noises in the background, it sounds like construction.
Melissa: Nik, what is that noise?
Klaus: What noise?
Melissa: The one I hear in the background.
Klaus: I'm planning something.
Melissa: Details please.
Klaus: You'll find out soon enough.
He hung up the phone, Rebekah walked into the room. "Was that Nik you were talking on the phone with?"
"Yeah, that was."
She walked over to me and sat on my bed. "Hey, are you gonna be okay with what's going down tonight?"
"No, of course not but there is nothing I can do about. I'm still surprised you're going along with it."
"He killed my mother, Melissa and lied about for a millennium. I can't let him get away with that, even if I wanted to stop it the plan has already been put in action. I just hope that you aren't mad at me forever."
"I'm less mad at you and more mad at Elena and the Salvatores. They don't even have a good reason for doing what they're doing. I'm not mad at you because you at least have a reason." Rebekah then gives me hug and I return one to her.
She starts to grin at me "What?" I questioned.
"Well I came in here for two things, one to check on you, two to ask if you're still going to homecoming."
"Yes Rebekah I'm still going to homecoming. I told I would."
She hugged me and grabbed my arm, she walked us over to her room. "Why are we in here?" I asked her.
"Because we have to get ready, of course." She said excitedly.
"It doesn't start for another couple of hours." I fall back on her bed and sigh.
"There is no such thing in being too prepared for something. Now get up, you're going first. It will give me a chance to try out my skills. Please!" She begged.
"Okay then work your magic." I got off the bed and sat in a chair and she got started. She put some mascara, eyeliner and some lip gloss. Then she put my hair in some loose curls. "Wow, you are amazing. Now sit down, it's your turn."
"Really? I thought you hated everything that had to do with high school including getting ready for dances." She replied.
"No, I said I hated high school but I didn't say anything about the dances." I smirk at her, she grins and takes a seat. I start to do her makeup and ask her "What time do you want to leave?"
"Well actually I want you to leave before me so you can greet me and my date." She smiled.
"Wait, you...have a date?!?" I was shocked and then she glared at me. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just surprised. So, who is it? Is it the wolf boy?" I questioned her.
"No, I'm over him and besides it's someone else and before you ask: I'm not telling you." She smirked at me; I frowned. I finished her hair and we both put our dresses on. "Wow, we look hot." Rebekah said as we stood in front of the mirror, I laughed at her comment.
Elena walks into the room "You two getting a head start, huh?"
"Embarrassing truth? This is my first high school dance." Rebekah said as she continued to fix her dress.
"Ever?" Elena asked.
"I never really had time for high school before. Nik and I were always moving around, running. Anyway, I didn't want to leave anything to chance. Have you heard anymore from him?"
"No but I'm sure that when he does return he'll do it with flair."
"And Damon and my father are all set with their plan?"
"Yes" Elena says, if I could get her reveal a little more about this plan.
"Don't tell me. I don't want to know." Are you freaking kidding me? I want to know, I'm trying to help Nik stay alive here. "I just want to go to the dance and the rest to Mikael."
"I know it's really hard. So thank you for helping us get Klaus back into town." If you know it's really hard, then why ask her to do it? Like seriously Elena.
"Just be careful. I've been running for a thousand years for a reason. Mikael is not a good person and he definitely can't be trusted. No one in my family." Bekah said and tears start to well in her eyes. I put my arm around her to comfort her.
"Are you okay?" Elena asked.
"I've spent my whole life loving and hating my brother both with equal measure. I never thought I'd be the one to help drive a stake through his heart. No tears, I don't want to mess up my makeup that my best friend did so amazingly."
"Thank you very much, I'll be here all week." I said and she grinned at me. She turned back towards us and then looks back at the mirror.
"How do I look?"
"You look amazing but you're missing something." Elena pulled out a necklace from her pocket.
"My mother's necklace."
"You should wear it tonight. May I?" Rebekah nods and Elena puts the necklace on her.
"Thank you and Melissa, go on and leave so you can greet me when I get there."
"You're so dramatic, Bekah" I shake my head.
"I know, but you love it."
"You know it, see you later." I walk out of the room and head out to my car. Then Damon starts to call my name "What do you want, Damon?"
"Look, I know you aren't thrilled about us going to kill Klaus so I just want to make sure we're on the page here." He paused for a second and I interrupted him "Okay, I'm listening."
"I need you to not do anything to mess up our plan. Are we clear?"
"See, I don't get why you're talking to me like I can't and won't kick your ass. When I can and I will kick your ass if necessary." I said as my snarky tone starts to come out.
"Come on, please." He begged.
"Fine, I won't do anything to physically mess up your plan...happy." I faked smiled at him.
"Very, also the homecoming dance is being moved to the Lockwood mansion."
"How do you know that? You're not even going."
"I have my ways." He smirked at me and then walked into the house. I got in my car and drove to the Lockwood mansion. I walked into the house freely since already being invinted in earlier this week...don't I love compulsion.
I walk through the crowd of people and see Tyler. "Hey Melissa! What's up?"
"Hey Tyler. Nice party you got going on here." I reply back.
"Thanks, but I'm not the one throwing it. I'm just doing whatever Klaus wants." Now I'm curious, what has Klaus been up to?
"What do you mean?"
"It's not a party, it's a wake." I walk outside to the back and Klaus walks onto the stage and the crowd cheered.
"Good evening everyone! I want to thank you for being here with me to celebrate! It's been a long time coming!" I chuckled at him, he is unbelievable sometimes.
Klaus walk over to me after he gets off stage "Quite the homecoming, I'm guessing this what you've been doing all day."
"I've been planning my father's funeral for thousand years. Granted, in no version of it any of these people were invited but you get the idea."
"That's kinda sadistic, but then again if my parents we're still here and they died. I'd probably throw a parade." I smirked.
"Now, who's the sadistic one?" We chuckled and he said "Seems that the Homecoming queen still walks among the living, which leads me to believe Rebekah isn't here...where is she?"
"I'm not sure, she told me to meet her here." Stefan walks over to us and I glare at him and I leave them to talk. I start to walk away until I hear something that catches my eyes, and I start to listen in. Me and my ease dropping; I'm so nosey.
"Oh, be honest, Stefan. Where's my sister?" Klaus says as his temper started to rise slightly.
"I have no idea. How would you like me to take you to your father?" Stefan replies.
"Well, it wouldn't be a party with the guest of honor, would it? Bring him to me."
"All right. Perhaps there's something in it for me...? My freedom from your compulsion?"
"Oh, you want your freedom. Well, once he is dead and his weapon destroyed, you'll have your freedom. It'll be my pleasure to give it back." Stefan walks away and Klaus continues talking to some people. This piece of information will definitely do me wonders. Finally, I have something I can use to my advantage. All I have to do now is talk to Stefan; I go and walk over to him.
"Hey Stefan, can I talk to you?"
"Why? I thought you hated me for helping everyone in the plan to kill Klaus."
"I do but I have a proposal to ask." He started to get a curious look on his face. "Look, I know that Klaus will give you your freedom back if Mikael is dead and his weapon is destroyed."
"Continue?" He said to me. "If you stop them from killing Klaus, you will have your freedom back and Klaus stays alive."
"But Mikael will still be alive?" He questioned.
"Knowing Klaus, he will probably take the opportunity to stake Mikael. Come on, this will be good for both of us."
"What do you get in return? You don't do anything without a price."
"What? I can't do anything out of the goodness of my heart." I put my hand on my chest for dramatic effects.
"No, you can't." That is very true, I might add "I get Klaus alive, that's what I get out of it." I said.
"You really do care about him, don't you." He says to me. "Nik is family to me, so will you do it?" I ask him with a pleading look on my face.
"Fine, I'll see what I can do but what is stopping my brother from tearing me apart."
"Don't worry, I'll handle your brother. Nice doing business with, now I am going to find Nik and hope you haven't let me down." I wave at Stefan and then I wander inside the house. I saw Klaus talking to a group of people playing beer ping, I walk over to them.
"So, Klaus are you going to introduce me to your new friends?"
"Melissa, I was wondering when you come back around. I would like to introduce you to my new friends." He walks me over to some of them "This is Mindy picked her up along the way in Kansas. Did you know that there's an entire bloodline of werewolves in the heartland? That's Tony from North Dakota and let's not forget the Seattle contingent."
"So, this is the start of your hybrid army and obviously you're their leader."
"I'm their Alpha," he corrected me "You need to sharpen up on your werewolf knowledge."
"You know I don't care much for werewolves but hybrids are a different story. They're faster and stronger but their bite is lethal 24/7 but both species are kinda of stubborn. At least if they're sired to you, they are less of a nuance." I said and we cheered our cups together. I walked around and got to meet more of the hybrids.
While Klaus is playing beer pong, Mindy says "You have a visitor."
"Well, tell my vistor I'm on the brink of a victory here." He says back her.
"He said his name is Mikael." You can tell that the minute she said that something in Klaus's face changes. Most people don't see it, but I've seen this face way to often.
"Then we mustn't keep him waiting. Move everyone out back. I'm gonna have a little chat with my dad. Tony, you know what to do." He says but somehow is still able to keep calm in this situation.
I, on the otherhand, am freaking out on the inside. I can't believe that they're doing this right here, right now. Please Stefan, don't let me down.
As the hybrids walk outside, some remain inside. They just stared at me which is kinda of weird. "Did you need something? because you should be outside." I said before they start to grab my arms and pulling me outside.
"What are you doing, stupid hybrids?"
One of them said "One bite from us and you're dead; remember vampire, so please do as we say." You know if it wasn't for that very fact and that Klaus would kill me for killing his hybrids. I would kill every single one of them right now.
I'm outside and hear Klaus and Mikael talking and it doesn't sound good. "If she dies, this will be the last of your abominations." Mikael says as he's holding Elena's arm.
"I don't need them. I just need to get rid of you." Klaus says back.
"To what end, Niklaus? So you can live forever with no one by your side? Nobody cares about you anymore, boy! What do you have other than those whose loyalty you forced? No one. No one." Tears start welling in Klaus's eyes.
"I'm calling your bluff, father. Kill her."
"Come outside and face me, you little coward. And I won't have to."
"My whole life you've underestimated me. If you kill her, you lose your leverage. So go ahead, Go one, Kill her. Come on, old man, Kill her. Kill her" He yells and growls at him but Mikael simply laughs.
"Your impulse, Niklaus. It has and will forever be the one thing that keeps you from being truly great." He stabs Elena with a dagger and she falls to the ground.
I get pushed onto the stairs with Mikael by the hybrids. He grabs my arm and I look over at Klaus, he is completely shocked. I whisper to him "Don't do anything stupid." and smile at him.
"Well, well look what we got here. I haven't seen you in centuries. Let me guess, you are here because you don't want him to die. You know I was really debating whether I should kill you or let you live. You would be great help to me but I think you're better suited off dead." He is about to stake me but then Elena pops back up which is probably Katherine.
"Katherine." I said and she said "Kaboom." and threw her hand grenades at the hybrids. Damon comes out of nowhere and stakes Klaus in the stomach, he pulls it out and goes for his heart but Stefan pushes him out of the way and the stake falls. Klaus grabs the stake and stakes Mikael: his body starts to burn as he laid there screaming. Klaus wipes his eyes.
Damon yells at Stefan "What the hell did you do?"
"He's earned his freedom. Thank you, friend. You no longer have to do as I say. You're free." Klaus uncompels Stefan, Stefan looks over at Damon and then leaves.
I walk over to Klaus "Are you okay?" He looks at me "Yeah, I'm fine thanks you. Stefan told me about your plan. More importantly, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I mean I was almost killed but Mikael is dead so it makes my day a little better." We laugh even after everything that just happened.
Time Skip to the Next day
Me and Nik are walking over to the truck and he tries to call Rebekah again "Rebekah, where are you? Pick up the phone, darling. Daddy is dead, it's time for a family reunion." He says leaving another voicemail.
"We have tried to call her hundred times. Where the hell is she?" Klaus gets a phone call and starts to talk to someone "Who is it, Nik?"
"Stefan." He says to me "Tell him I said thank you." They continue to talk and we finally get to the truck. I jump up and open it and there is nothing in there. "Nik, are you sure this is the right one?"
"Yes." He tells me. "Because there is nothing in here." He turns around and starts talking angrily on the phone. I just here looking confused, he gets off the phone. "Okay, Nik. What the hell is going on?"
"We might have a problem" he says to me.
So, that is the end of the chapter. I hope you all like liked it. Sorry for not writing in a while but on the brighter side, thank you everyone for getting me to 1.19k
