I own nothing but my OC Claire. Outfit is on profile.
Klaus POV
I made my entrance known when a young woman demanded to know who Stefan was.
"It's me you should be worried about luv. I'm Klaus." I said walking around Stefan who huffed and went to sit on a log.
"You're the hybrid!" The woman said fearfully but trying to keep a strong front in the face of danger.
Grinning I stepped towards her. "Fantastic! You've heard of me!"
Every member of the pack's eyes widened and each took a discreet step away from me, except one girl who had her face turning into a scowl. I ignored her for the time being.
I sat on the log next to Stefan as the wolves shuffled unsure.
"It's fascinating actually..." I started looking over each member carefully. "A werewolf who isn't beholden to the moon, and a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun. A true hybrid." To add the perfect dramatic effect Ray chose this moment to gasp awake .
"Excellent timing Ray, perfect timing!" I announced merrily before scanning for a human among the pack I saw one so he would have to do.
"Are any of you human? Your friend needs human blood to complete his transition to become a hybrid." Stefan announced loudly to create a tense atmosphere. When nobody said a word I sighed before adding, "If he doesn't get blood he will die."
"Doesn't take much just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, girlfriends, along for the ride?" I added again before sighing and pinpointing the human man who was shivering slightly and sweating. Lovely.
"You." I said confirming his fears. I shot up and sped to him, grabbing the man and biting his arm making his blood pour down his arm as he whimpered to scared to do anything.
I tossed the man to Stefan who held him in front of the groaning Ray. The woman protested loudly and tried getting to what I assume was her boyfriend before I froze her with a glare.
"If you don't drink Ray I will. The problem is I don't know how to stop." Stefan threatened when Ray refused to drink.
I turned back to the woman before stalking towards her frozen form letting my face change as I moved.
"It's a new order sweetheart. You join us, or you die." I announced making sure every other member could hear their option.
"I's rather die then be a vampire!" She spat at me as I huffed, it would be easier if they accepted they didn't really have a choice.
"Wrong choice" I growled before shoving my bloodied arm into her face making sure she had a couple of gulps before snapping her neck.
I glanced back to Ray and thankfully he had started drinking from the human.
Turning back to the other wolves I saw they were looking in horror at the woman I had turned. "She'll thank me for that later." I said to them in a false comforting tone before looking the fearful eyes of my future comrade.
"Who's next?" I announced cheerfully before speeding to the closest wolf while Stefan stopped the odd few that tried escaping. I forced my blood down the mans throat before snapping his neck.
Finally I changed all 13 of them except one.
I turned to the woman who glared at me earlier to see she hadn't moved. She was beautiful, her face was slightly squared which made her defiant look more prominent. Her eyes were large and a honey tone contrasting her slightly tanned skin and deep brown hair which fell in straight locks to her waist. Her nose was slightly too big but matched her slightly too big and rounded eyes. Her mouth was a tad too wide but it just made her thick lips look more in proportion with her thick lips.
She was beautiful but what I think enhanced her looks was her basic clothes and the fact she wore no make up at all.
She had a lean body which was slightly muscled and curvy, long strong legs which were shaped perfectly and showed courtesy of her tight shorts which had her one shouldered skull printed T shirt tucked into emphasizing her narrow waist.
She had knee-high grey socks on which protected her legs from the foliage. And deep purple doc martins perfect for long hikes on her small feet.
I could see her left collar-bone above her shirt which was decorated in tattooed wolf paw prints appearing from her shoulder. She also what appeared to be a wolf face howling at the moon tattooed on her right thigh half hidden from her shorts.
"Saved the best for last?" She asked sarcastically making me grin. She was glaring at me as she leaned against a thick tree with one leg bent and rest on the base.
"It would appear so luv, will I need to force you to drink or will you make this easier on yourself?" I asked closing in on her as she raised an eyebrow.
"I don't think that would be in your best interests..." She murmured looking confused as her eyes fixated on something behind me. I glanced back pausing in my pursue of her as I saw Ray shivering violently as blood poured from his eyes. Growling I turned back to the girl and grabbed her arm before dragging her to where Ray was muttering about he should be feeling better by now.
"Somethings wrong..."Stefan murmered out the obvious.
"I can see that!" I snapped back at his stupid comment.
The woman I turned first flicked to life gasping as I absent-mindedly told the human to feed her.
Ray on the other hand snapped and jumped up shoving Stefan away and sprinting of just as the other werewolves were waking up.
The human walked around and fed them all as I pulled the last werewolf with me and shoved her onto the log as I sent Stefan to fetch Ray.
"What's your name luv?" I asked listening and watching my feeding hybrid.
"Claire." The girl said who sat cross-legged on the log while watching them with me. I growled as I heard Stefan curse before yanking Claire into my arms and speeding to Stefan. When I let go of her she exhaled and wobbled slightly making me smirk and her glare.
"Ray got away. He bit me." Stefan growled out as I took note of the violent bite on his forearm.
"Then go get him." I said near snarling. This was not apart of the plan! Stefan looked at me dumbly.
"I need your blood to heal me." Stefan said unsure but trailed of as I shook my head.
"Then you better get Ray fast. And I would hurry that bite look's nasty." And with that I twisted around grabbing a now scowling Claire and sped back to my hybrids who were all awake and shivering much like Ray had.
Claire pulled from my grip and went to a bloodied tent before climbing in as I watched her, she came out a moment later with a canvas floral bag which had mud and paint splattered over it.
"What's that for luv?" I asked as I gazed as the wolves who were starting to bleed through their eyes much like Ray had.
"I will start turning soon. The moon is starting to rise..." She mumbled distracted by the now approaching hybrids.
Cursing I took a step towards her as a young man tried attacking me, I swiftly removed his heart. Unfortunately the others were starting to attack as well. I heard Claire snarl as she punched a man in the face before grasping his head in her arms and spinning behind him snapping his neck.
I noted the others were powering up and closing in, she started snapping other necks as I removed hearts in a hurry. They had failed and all I have is one wolf left. And she will start turning in at most an hour.
Once they were all dead I saw Claire's eyes were turning gold and flashing as the brightness shone and faded as she repressed turning.
Then I heard cracking, her bones were snapping as she held her transformation back grabbing a tree trunk so hard her cracking fingers broke into the tree.
I refused to look away as Stefan came speeding into the clearing dumping Ray's body on the floor and looked around at the body's before his eyes widened at seeing Claire turning.
"Here take this and run. They all died most I killed others bled out. I will need to keep my little wolf here in my grasp!" I growled slicing my wrist with a broken beer bottle and pouring my blood into it before all but shoving it at Stefan as he drank it before smashing the rest of the bottle and ran.
Claire growled as her bones snapped and morphed. I saw her bones crunch in her skin and reform in her arms and legs as she collapsed on the floor fighting the screams that wanted to rip from her throat. Her spine twisted and she released a pained howl that made me cringe. Her arm bones crumbled in time with her legs as her skin cracked and split making her grinding bones visible in certain places.
Her voice changed into a more animatistic growl and her eyes watered as finally her eyes turned into the golden hue belonging to a wolf.
Her legs broke in several places making her completely collapse to the floor as her bones shifted into the form of a wolf. Her skull splintered and morphed painfully as her growls cut of and her whimpering form finally began to look like a wolf.
Her eyes were watering as her nose and jaws lengthened and her teeth cracked and became elongated as her ears and eyes crumbled into her skull looking like the wolf she nearly was. Her clothes were shredded and her ribs were moving rapidly as her pulse sped up into the one of a wolf.
A loud crack sounded as her spine rotated and twisted as it extended forming a tail and her pelvis rotated and shattered into a smaller form.
Finally an outbreak of cream toned fur erupted over her body making her new form complete. I watched in awe and slight horror, her fur was cream mixed with white and the odd strands of grey and white in her face. She was a small wolf and timid as she cowered at my form, she barely brushed my knees at her full height and she was currently crouched on the ground panting and pining.
Her ears twitched around and her eyes flickered taking in new scents, sounds as well as just the feelings of exhilaration and adrenaline that made her body shiver in pain at the intensity of it.
After a staring contest she sprinted of unexpectedly making me curse and run after her, she paused when she heard me following making me slow but she simply ran in a different direction.
Growling I stripped of my clothes and tossed them near by before letting my bones crack and twist and my eyes glow as I became a wolf. I sprinted after her on four legs. My wolf form was a dark grey with white face and I was double her height.
When she paused and took me in her speed slowed as a confused look entered her eyes before she trotted of making me tilt my head and followed cautiously.
I was very surprised when she walked into a small caved area next to a small river and surrounded in large boulders and rocks. I trotted into the cave and saw it must be her nest of sorts confusing me. It was a large room with clothes twisted together with leaves making a large bed. She simply by passed it and curled up into a small ball in the corner.
She was part of a pack, or so I assumed why would she have a separate area for her stuff and her wolf to rest in. It made no sense unless...It dawned on me. She was a outcast or this was her territory that they imposed on. She obviously lived here in wolf form and from the length of the bed and some of the clothes, shoes and knives along with other necessity that she had been here for a few months at least.
Walking over to her small form I laid down next to her as she curled further up. A lone wolf would make sense, if she spent enough time with them in human form her wolf would smell them and their wolf's would as well making it less likely to have fights break out in their wolf forms. And considering her wolf form was obviously unsure of how to take him she wasn't familiar with many other wolves if any.
Her head snapped up at a sound about a mile away and her ears twitched trying to decide whether I was a threat or not. The noise cracked louder what ever it was, it was coming closer. I growled feeling an instant duty to protect her. I went before her and walked out the cave growling lowly to her as her head tilted in a submissive pose. She took me as her alpha almost immediately. She waited by the cave taking the odd few steps forward as the nearing creature which sounded like a human came closer.
Concentrating on my sense of smell I knew almost instantly it was in fact a couple of humans, one larger than the other by the sounds of their footsteps.
I let loose a threatening growl involuntarily courtesy of my wolf trying to take over instinct. I heard a loud bang making Claire's wolf growl lightly in fear and anger. Some hunters by the sounds of it were closing in on her territory and threatening her and in turn me.
The footsteps split, one was no more than twelve feet away. I let my wolf loose for a moment as he sprinted forward and ripped the face from the screaming hunter of, my claws ripped the flesh from his face making blood slip into his eyes and down his throat. Growling attracted my attack as I turned to see the other hunter trying to get close to Claire.
I sunk my teeth once more into the mans throat and locked my jaws over his spine before jerking making his neck split and snap. When I knew he was no longer a threat I started stalking the other unknowing hunter who was threatening my pack member.
She growled and bristled as her back hunched and fur stood on end clearly displaying her anger as she snapped her long teeth at the smaller hunter.
I crept behind him before pouncing at his back tearing his back into shreds resembling strawberry laces. unfortunately though a loud bang startled me as I heard a loud pine from my only pack member I growled violently and destroyed the hunter in seconds using my advanced speed to make him nothing more than a mutilated carcass.
Claire's pines and whimpers made me take control again forcing the wolf back temporarily as I leapt forward into the staggering form of Claire as I lead her crumpling form into the cave before checking her over. I cursed inwardly, she had been shot through her right shoulder-blade and it was bleeding heavily.
Licking the wounds didn't do much as I cursed before allowing my body to rearrange into my more comfortable human form.
I lifted her weak wolf form trying to be gentle before laying her on the self constructed bed and rolled her form around as I kneeled down before checking the wound.
unfortunately the bullet was lodged in her shoulder-blade, holding her down with one hand I quickly yanked the bullet from her half shattered bone and covering her shoulder in some odd clothes I found and tore into long strips.
After I was sure she would be ok I looked her over and noted she had either passed out or fell asleep making me roll my eyes. Searching around the cave I found a watch and it announced it was 2.12am. Sighing I morphed into my wolf form and curled around her shivering one making sure to listen for more unwanted visitors.
Without meaning to I managed to fall asleep protectively around her, after all she was the only survivor and now my only wolf.
