Shane and I were in another argument about Myrnin. He doesn't seem to be able to grasp the concept that I don't want Myrnin, I chose him. It was like he was so insecure that every time I came home he started shouting as if I didn't even have a job I just went to the lab to see my crazy boss. I could hear him swearing at the tv with Michael in some vain attempt to seem normal and not like the raging psychopath he was. I was sick of his shit, the amount of hours i had wasted listening to the insecure guy go on and on about how clearly i wanted my ancient boss or how i didn't spend enough time with him, put into context i had much better things to do than hang out with either him or Myrin. Binge watching the Discovery Channel for one, it was seriously addictive.

I quickly shoved my hair up in a ponytail basically my idea of war paint without get dirty and quietly made my way down the stairs hoping for once the house was on my side and would allow me to sneak up on the douche bag i was dating. Before either Shane or Michael could protest i walked behind the tv unplugging it to prevent the murderous zombie rampage they seemed to be happily indulging in.

"What?" Shane's gruff voice asked me after about 3 minutes of staring each other down, or alternating between looking me in the eyes and staring at my tits which looked damn good in the tank top,

"This has to stop, we can't keep arguing like this it's been a month Shane and every time I get home there's always some snarky remark about me and Myrnin and I'm sick of having to put up with your shit."

I saw Michael shift out of the corner of my eye obviously uncomfortable being within a ten mile radius of either of us while we argued, but I knew he wanted this over it was causing a lot of tension in the house. I vaguely heard the door bell ring behind the red haze which was slowly descending the longer Shane took to answer, yet Michael heard it perfectly well using as his excuse to turn tail and run

When the traitorous bastard did reply i almost wish he hadn't just to keep up some semblance of normality but if i ever wanted to be left alone well beggars cant be choosers,

"Well what do you want me to do about it it's you sleeping with your nut job boss!"

I hated seeing him angry especially when it was defected at me for an something i hadn't even my opinion people were far to narrow minded and refused to see something for the fact they don't want to seem like a tit. I heard an uncomfortable cough from Michael I looked over at him and raised my eyebrow,

"Uh it's for you Claire."

He stepped to the side and behind him stood the one vampire who I swore if I ever saw again I would rip apart and bury what was left of her in every remote location i could find so no witch could even hope to bring her back (I was a lot more dramatic back then).

Katherine Pierce or Katerina Petrova as she had been known when we met.

I growled and looked her over feeling the veins appear under my eyes and my fans beginning to grow. Her brown hair was in its usual style with the curls resting just below her shoulders; she was 5'6 and had on black heels a red corset, black skinny jeans with her black leather jacket, altogether she looked like a biker whore, she certainly hadn't changed then. Her brown eyes widened as my face chance and before the two stunned males could move I had her pinned against the wall enjoying the terrified look she was wearing.

"Remember what I told you I would do to you if I ever saw you again?" she nodded slightly and I shook her thoroughly enjoying the doe eyed look of fear which settled over her glazed eyes.

"Yes I remember, i remember it word by word b-but you asked me to look into a few things and a few people," she looked towards Shane and Michael asking if she should continue in front of them, I just nodded

"They're all alive."

"And the curse is that true as well?" I crossed my fingers praying the next word to come out her mouth would be no, alas my lack of belief over the years was coming back to bite me in the ass, she frantically nodded her head as if she was having a seizure and i felt the madness i usually pushed away coming back with a vengeance.

"He'll be looking for you and the other petrova doppelgänger what her name, ah yes Elena hell be needing a witch, werewolf and vampire but I'm guessing they won't be hard to find it's not like theres a shortage of them out there especially in Mystic Falls for such a dead end town it certainly attracts attention. Then he'll need the moonstone but with the troop of sniffer dogs he has looking for it, he'll have it soon enough."

I stopped in my rant to throw a pitying look to the vampire in front of me struggling for breath while my hand slowly crushed her trachea, despite the fact she was a self centred whore and a raging narcissist but she had genuinely cared for the Salvatore's just not in the way that benefited and of them in the end. The fact i knew how obsessed with Katherine they had been it didn't escape my attention they were both probably just as infatuated as the most likely nicer and more innocent version of her, in fact probably more so as she didn't have the intention to murder them at the end of the relationship.

I let out a growl of frustration at the thought of having to go against him again and get rid of another Petrova I had managed to avoid this for a few hundred years and now luck decided to leave me, I thought turning Katherine would stop him but it only set him back until the next doppelgänger was born.

"Claire what the hell are you, who the hell is she and what is going on?!" it was Shane and for once he sounded worried instead of the pissed off i was used to hearing, I knew I was going to have to tell them and fast before Amelie or one of her lap dogs realised someone was in town without her permission.

I nodded and gestured to the sofa for Michael and Shane who walked over making sure to avoid me as much as was possible, i opened my mouth to start when the final part of our freaking quarter clumped through the door and tarted yelling,

"Hey guess whose home and brought food? Thats right moi, you can thank me by grovelling at my-" she cut herself off when she saw the guys sitting down and Katherine huddled in the corner with tear tracks of mascara making her look like some sort of traumatised badger, she went to sit on Michael's knee without even asking what was going on. it was worrying how this was normal this kind of stuff was in this town even to humans. I opened my mouth and began my frightfully depressing tale,

"My real name is Clarisse Lockwood and I was born in the 1400's in a tiny village now known as Mystic Falls. I was engaged to my childhood sweetheart Nicklaus Mikaelson who is now a raging psychopath along with the rest of his family. His mother was a witch and because of what her children get called she's now known as the original witch." I couldn't help but snort at the irony, she was not the original witch no one even knew who was just that witches were connected to nature and well mama original was not as old as nature. I saw the confused look at my break and decided to carry on knowing they wouldn't understand,

"Her husband was Mikael a bastard who beat his children for no reason other than he was a huge douche bag, he is also known as an original vampire when he was turned but when he found out that his children had become monsters he also became a vampire hunter. However mama original as well now call her had dear old Nik from an affair with a werewolf."

I paused for a second to let the information set in, i knew it could be confusing and to be fair sometimes i worried Shane's brain might explode like a computer, information overload.

"Niklaus has siblings however Mikael actually likes them seeing as how they're actually his, a sister named Rebekah who basically a spoilt brat who'll fall in love with anyone and 4 brothers Kol the lovable little psycho who kills people for fun, Elijah the head of the family and to be fair the only sane one, Finn the martyr who spent years trying to kill himself and us by proxy and little Henrik who was by far the favourite until the werewolf incident that is.

When Henrik was killed by a werewolf from a neighbouring village after Nik tried to have some fun and show him them changing their mother Esther turned him and his siblings into vampires to protect them, after insistence from Mikael who refused to lose anymore children, i was changed because i was about to join the family anyway and my dearest fiancé refused to do anything without me." I stopped for a second to remember the sweet man Niklaus had been before his parents had screwed him up so much and he couldn't help but resent the one person who had loved him through everything. I saw the questions about the start and quickly carried on not caring to answer any yet,

"When Klaus killed his first human his werewolf genes showed as thats how the curse is started and his mother cursed him again at Mikael's instance to lock that part of him away. No one thought about the consequences of turning me as despite the fact i was Lockwood and my family were well known for being wolves no one thought i had activated my cure of course no actually asked about the girl i had hit over the head after she attempted to flirt with Nik. I didn't realise what would happen as it had not yet been a full moon so when Esther turned us I was the first hybrid stronger and faster than the other originals. It drove Klaus mad knowing I could access that part of me and he couldn't so for centuries he looked for a way to break it not even bothering to think of what would happen just desperate to be able to make his own hybrid army which would've been and still will be disastrous if he does. After years he finally found out it was with the original Petrova's blood that we had all bee turned so he needed a ritual involving the Petrova Doppelgänger said to be born every five years as sacrifice. He finally found Katherine and when I realised what she was I turned her as to sacrifice her she had to be human, I left her after knowing I had another five hundred years before I had to find the next one.

I didn't realise how bad Klaus' paranoia had gotten until i heard his family had planned to leave him and he staked them through they heart leaving them in eternal limbo until he's ready to take them out and talk them out of finding a way to kill them, which i seriously need to be around to watch. He ripped out his mothers heart after she placed the spell on him and staked his father locking him away to prevent him killing us all his family are still staked and he finally has another doppelgänger and no doubt all the other ingredients to lift his curse and if he does he will cause havoc to the supernatural world which i am a part of and would like to avoid if its possible. Oh and he's batshit crazy and immortal. Now, any questions?"
