A/N i don't own anything you recognize, the rest is just figment of my imagination. PLease R&R. Got this storyline stuck in my head and had to get it out let me know what you think..


It had already been a long day when Stefan was walking beside Klaus through Smokey mountains Tennessee. Ray was hanging over his shoulders, the dead weight was becoming a nuisance to Stefan and Klaus seemed to notice.

"Are you okay?" he said smirking "Is Ray getting heavy?"

Stefan rolled his eyes, "I'm fine".

"You sure about that? You know, we've been walking for quite some time now. If you need some water or a little sit-down..." he suggested uncharacteristically friendly..

"You know, I get that we're, uh... we're stuck together, but if we could maybe just skip the chitchat, it'd be great." Stefan sighed running his hand through his hair. This nice Klaus was just creeping him out.

Klaus chuckled, "So much brooding. Your self-loathing is suffocating you, my friend." He really didn't particularly like seeing Stefan in pain, though he felt that he had certainly deserved some of it.

"Maybe it's 'cause I'm a little tired of hunting werewolves. We've been at it all summer." was the tired response Klaus got.

Klaus was getting annoyed now, the brooding was definitely starting to wear on him,

"thanks to our pal Ray, we found ourselves a pack. There." He said pointing to a clearing just a few feet away.

I immediately felt something was wrong, I had had a bad feeling all day yet I didn't know what to make of it. I met this pack of werewolves just a few days earlier, they found me alone in the woods and they took me in. They were kind. Though I knew how deadly they could get, I chose to stay with them anyway. I was just sitting near my tent when the feeling got worse, I could feel my heart start pounding in my chest, telling me something bad was here. I took a quick breath to steady myself, no point in panicking. When I turned around I cringed, poor Ray, he hadn't have been my favorite person there but he was alright. I immediately recognized the vampire holding him which shocked me to my core. I couldn't believe it, he wouldn't recognize me I was sure of it but something about him was different. He wasn't the same vampire that saved me three years ago. Cindy immediately went for Ray when Stefan threw him on the ground.

"Ray! Oh, my God. What's going on? Who are you?" she cried confused above else.

It was then that the second person showed himself, he was a vampire too I noticed, though there seemed to be more to him. He felt, more powerful than just that which immediately set me on edge.

"The important question is who am I. Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus." He said smirking as he moved to stand besides Stefan, who looked uncomfortable at best.

Klaus.. that name kept ringing in my head as I got pulled back to a memory from a long time ago.

"Mother. M-mother! Why did you kill her, why?!" I was bawling, screaming at the man holding me by my arms. The man who only moments ago killed my mother. "Shut up you stupid child! I don't have much time, the witches are one my trail, now you will do as I say" he yelled angrily before slapping my face. I reeled back from his strength staring at him through tear laced lashes. "I'm your father and you're to do as I command you, I will take you somewhere and you will stay there. Now I created you for one purpose only, you will kill as many vampire's as you can but most importantly you will kill Niklaus, or Klaus as he now seems to go by." I didn't know it then but somehow I would never be ably to forget those words.

When I snapped back from my trip on memory lane, there was a pull inside me to kill him that I never felt before. I had to use all my self control not to just lunge at him. I realized that this was the task father wanted me to do, apparently the one thing I was created for. But I wouldn't give in, not now, I was so close to learning how to control my powers. I can't give in to his wishes, I refuse!

I never believed father actually succeeded at compelling me, never had I felt like finding him or killing him. I didn't even know who he was, hell I still don't.

But now I know that he did, or at least somewhat. But I would fight it, I will find a way to kill you instead father, after all you've done to me you deserve to rot in hell. I thought angrily.

Suddenly Ray woke up, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Excellent timing, Ray. Very dramatic." Klaus said approvingly looking joyful.

"What's happening to me?" Ray asks disoriented as he looks around wildly.

"Stefan?" Klaus gestures for him to provide Ray with some.. nutrition.

Stefan gets up and looks around the group of terrified people, surprised to see one girl staring at him straight on, no fear.

"Are any of you human? Your friend here needs human blood to complete his transition to vampire. If he doesn't get it, he will die." he says stressing the importance, playing on their hearts to want to save their friend.

Impatiently Klaus adds: "Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride? " he's tapping his foot on the ground, anxiously, he needs to find a way to make hybrids, he needs this to work.

I noticed he was looking around and before I even knew what I was doing I shot up,

"me! I'll do it" I said surprise evident in my voice. Both vampires raised an eyebrow at my response, guess they didn't get many volunteers.
