Klaus was the strongest most feared loan shark in Miami.

He was sitting in his normal booth at the hottest club in the city, when a guy approached him who looked like he was right out of high school. Elijah, Klaus' brother stopped the boy and asked his business with Klaus. "I need a loan man." "Have a seat." Tyler sat down and started to explain why he needed the loan but Klaus cut him off. "I don't need all the details, that's your business."

"Now what is your name?" Klaus asked. "Tyler Lockwood." "And how much do you need?" "Two hundred." "That's all?" Klaus said with a smirk. Tyler nodded. "I normally make the person wait a day to make sure they're certain but due to the fact I have two hundred on me right now I'll give it to you as long as you know the conditions. Do you?" Klaus asked.

"Yeah, I have to have all the money paid back in at least one week plus a fifty dollar interest fee, or there are consequences." Tyler answered. Elijah looked impressed. "Do you know the consequence?" Klaus asked. "A painful beating possibly resorting in death." "Wow kid, you know a lot about me. How?" "My cousin's results were death."

"Who?" Elijah asked. "Ben Lockwood." Klaus nodded. "Tell no one I loaned you the money. That's why Ben died, he had a big mouth. I want the money back here in at least one week starting at midnight tonight or there will be violence." Tyler nodded and ran away.

Klaus sat in the booth for another hour until he noticed a burnet dancing with a guy on the dance floor. Elijah noticed Klaus staring at something, so he looked and saw her. "She looks taken brother." Elijah said. "I see her free to my taking." "Shes grinding against that guy. I think that means she's taken." "Well shes alone at the bar so lets see." Klaus said getting up to go talk to her.

"Hello." Klaus said. "Most men start out with how beautiful I look or tell me their name. So I think your starting wrong." The girl said looking up at Klaus. "OK, my name is Klaus and you do look beautiful." "I know I do because I was told by my date." The girl said and walked away but Klaus grabbed her hand. "Can I at least know your name." "Your Klaus the big bad loan shark figure it out." She said and walked back to Stefan.

Klaus smirked. He liked her already. He walked back to Elijah who was smiling. "So when's your first date?" "Shut up." Klaus spat continuing to watch her dance. "She's leaving and looking this way." Elijah said. Klaus looked up and saw her give him a small smile. "At least you got a smile." Elijah said. "Lets go its past one." Klaus said standing.

"Once they got home Klaus changed into his pajamas and went to bed thinking of the burnet mystery girl. In the morning he would find out who she was and he wasn't going to take rejection this time.

The next morning he woke and instantly started trying to find ways to figure out the mystery girl's name so he could go make her his girl
