The next night Elena laid in her bed. Unable to move. She felt she were going to explode. There was a feeling of claustrophobia clogging her rational mind. She had gotten a call from Tyler and it wasn't like all the other ignored calls. She actually answered it this time.
"Hello," she whispered meekly into the phone. Her voice devoid of emotion. "Elena! Are you okay? Any symptoms yet?" he asked shakily. "I'm not sure. I've been hiding away the whole day," she answered honestly. "Well I just wanted to warn you. Klaus is coming over there to dig you out of your hole and start the transformation," he said hesitantly. Elena froze, her heart pitter-pattered and her mind became hazy.
"Great," she scoffed in disgust. "Be ready," he said flippantly. Elena hung up on Tyler, unable to say anything else to Tyler at the moment. She curled up deeper into her bed and just let the silence eat at her mind. It was comforting, yet eerie and irritating. Tyler was truly worried about probably his only friend at the moment. Elena. She was a good person, and she didn't deserve this. None of this.
Tyler thought all of these torturous thoughts as the full moon continued to rise. Elena heard a loud bang as her door was practically ripped open. She didn't move or do any move to try and protect herself from whomever it was. Klaus was suddenly in front of her, yanking her up right to face him. "Showtime sweetheart," he told her nonchalantly. She bit her lip and struggled meekly against him. "No use love. I know you're already exerting enough energy, fighting against the need to go outside and embrace the full moon," said Klaus, seeming to have an irritated edge to his tone.
"Why are you doing this? Just have me suffer the change by myself, then give me your blood. Change me and let me leave her and start somewhat of a normal life!" she trilled, her tone husky, yet screeching slightly. "Sorry love. But that's not possible. You and me are stuck here in this hell of a town whether you like to accept it or not. Now if you'd want to leave, we'd have to work together to both get out of here and never come back," he shrugged.
She stared at him with bewilderment. Their eyes locked and for a heavy second Elena saw something in his eyes that said her theory of him not caring was wrong. Something that told her to just trust him and get through this. She huffed out, giving into his demand and letting him drag her outside.
She froze at the edge of the woods. Klaus stopped and stared at her in wonderment. Her knees buckled and she was practically jerked down to the ground forcefully. She groaned, feeling a painful shot go through her spine. Klaus easily could tell she was transforming now.
She actually looked quite beautiful in her agony. Her body transformed more as her screams echoed through the empty night. The full moon was now fully shown in the dark, vacant sky. As Klaus saw her body was getting closer to the full finish. He decided it would be time for him to try and change himself. He had only done it twice in his life. And that was before the whole hybrid thing.
Eventually after an hour they both were able to transform. Elena's mind was screaming to her. Everything was fading and she was falling into the blackness of letting the werewolf taking control. The rational part of her mind was gone. She looked around, her vision changed. Crystal clear and tainted red.
Suddenly she felt a force pulling her in the opposite direction. She whipped her large wolf-head over to see another wolf. It was jet black and the chocolate brown wolf wondered what it was. Something screamed for her to follow. She followed him deep into the woods. Suddenly they stopped and she stared at the wolf, creeping closer to it unconsciously.
Klaus had very much control over himself and he was still able to think clearly. Only a small amount really. Their noses touched and a delicious fire spread through both of them. The chocolate brown wolf whimpered, an overpowering force to submit to him was taking over her.
She bowed to him. Klaus was surprised by the submission. He felt jubilant as he realized she had given herself over to him. His head went closed to her bowed head and he sniffed her. His teeth nipped at her scruff and that seemed to jolt her.
The brown wolf snapped out of her spell and jerked her head up to him. A melodic, husky voice filled her mind.
You're no fun submissive. Fight back.
The voice was playful and teasing. The wolf felt herself listen to it. She growled, baring her teeth. The wolf seemed to grin in approval to her. She froze and heard something pound inside her head. She followed the trail quickly, feeling a hunger inside of her take control. She stopped, seeing the source of the taunting sound. Her tongue lolled out and with indescribable rage and need. She lunged forward to the stupid human boy and ripped his throat out practically. Klaus smirked, watching her have her first kill as a werewolf. He could get used to seeing her like this.
Her taste buds relished in the delicious taste. She could hear the pounding was gone. And now she was left hungry...very hungry.
She turned to the black wolf, feeling a sudden intrigue. Her nose went to sniff him, Klaus wasn't surprised by her animal yelling at her to jump him. The wolf suddenly backed her slight body away and turned to where she heard a sudden sound. She was ready to attack when she saw two males come out of nowhere. She growled, their scent sending off warning bells in her mind.
They looked at her. One of them smirked. "Here doggie, doggie," he mock whispered to the two of them tauntingly. The female wolf took that as a welcoming and lunged forward. Her teeth were bared and now at his throat. She bit into the soft skin and her claws sunk into the skin she could reach as she attacked him. Eventually the vampire was able to throw her off of him.
She fell back but instantly back on her feet growling. The black wolf stood in front of her, cutting her off from view. The two guys stopped, easily recognizing the wolfish grin and the wicked gleam in the wolf's amber eyes.
Klaus.
They instantly ran off. The slight brown wolf shoved past Klaus and was ready to chase them. But a pair of sharp incisors sunk into her scruff, yanking her back. She ripped herself away and growled angrily.
You can deal with them later. Now let's find some real food for us.
The wolf bowed in submission and let the larger black wolf lead the way as they sniffed out the woods. Throughout the night they were both able to find plenty of mindless humans wandering in the woods. By the morning the wolf in Elena had given up.
The sun rose and the two jubilant wolves awoke back on two legs instead of four like they were all last night. Together.
Klaus was awakened earlier than Elena. Her muscles thudded painfully. Her head ached, everything did. She didn't want to wake up and have to face the world. Her subconscious mind would tauntingly remind her that she had turned into a true beast last night and killed people. Innocent people who were human and had normal lives.
She groaned, murmurs of apologies escaping past her lips. Klaus sat there, hearing the inaudible whispers coming from her lips. Klaus decided her remorse and guilt was irritating and took the opportunity to wake her up.
He knelt down to her level. His eyes took in the somehow enhanced beauty of her. She had changed, something was different about her. This side of her that he has seen, she was more rugged, fragile, tough, and just all and all amazing. He quickly stopped his thoughts before they went to far into the mushy, sentimental crap that he didn't do well with.
Her eyes fluttered awake, seeming to easily recognize his soft touch. "Klaus," she whispered, her bleary eyes easily recognized him. He grinned. "Hello love. How are you feeling?" he asked, somewhat genuine. "Sore. I really hate this," her tone had a whiny edge to it. "With what I have planned for us. You won't have to deal with it ever again," he drawled, knowing that could somehow try to make her feel better.
"But I'll still be a monster," she whispered pessimistically. "Love. There are monsters out in this world that are human. That doesn't make the supernatural any badder than humans. They could be just as horrible as us," he said honestly. She gulped and stared up at him, her eyes dark and soft. They stared up into his icy blue orbs with complete and utter understanding and something that was unrecognizable.
"Do you promise to stay with me through everything," she was very vulnerable at the moment and needed someone to be there for her. Klaus held her gaze and a small grin was across his face. "Of course love. We're stuck with each other," he promised.
"Now I need some clothes," she said after a moment of silence, realizing her nudity in front of him. "We're right where we started last night," he informed her, standing up and not taking his eyes off of her full body as she stood up and stretched languidly. She seemed to not be embarrassed like she usually would be. "I'll be going," she said awkwardly, after finishing stretching.
She quickly sneaked her way to her house without risking being seen by any of the neighbors. She went through her clothes and easily picked out an outfit. She decided to take a shower. Hopefully it could soothe her aching muscles. Turns out that didn't work at all.
She huffed in annoyance and decided to just suffer the rest of the way.
Unless you ask Klaus for blood.
She shook the stupid thought away, not wanting to even ask Klaus for anything.
But he's the only one you've got now.
The different parts of her mind were having an inner battle. One was saying to just give into Klaus and let him and her be partners together somehow. One was saying that was all wrong and she shouldn't have anything to do with him.
She groaned and just gave up. As she exited her bathroom Klaus was there. "Love. I have a question. Do you remember anything from last night?" he asked, his voice sounding a bit uneven. "Um, rough-housing with you in the woods. Killing people. Stuff along those lines," she spoke very flippantly of the subject, not wanting to torture herself with brooding thoughts.
"Well. Last night, we ran into the Salvatore brothers. And you took a good chunk out of Damon," he said quickly, coming right out with it. Elena froze and her eyes widened in disbelief. "What are we going to do?" she said, her voice sounding suddenly choked. "I'll give him my blood. Then you'll have to tell them everything. I mean if you want to at least," he shrugged. She gulped. Her head told her to go ahead and tell them everything.
But she couldn't handle it. "Just give him the blood," she answered, her voice devoid of emotion. Klaus ' brows raised in surprise but just grinned and nodded okay. "Very well then. You can stay here or do whatever while I go handle them," he said easily. She watched as he disappeared in a blur, she stood frozen in her spot.
She didn't know what to do. It would be best if she stayed away from Damon, especially since he seemed to had taken her werewolf thing hard. Now with this, he would be forever pissed at her. And she definitely could not blame him.
Her phone rang and she instantly picked it up. "Hello?" she asked blank into the phone. "Elena! Are you okay?" Tyler's distressed voice rang from the other side of the line. She gulped. "Just fine," she didn't know why, but tears seemed to come to her eyes. "You want me to come over?" he asked softly. "Could you please?" her voice thick with tears. "I'll be there as soon as I can," he promised.
They hung up and Elena immediately broke out into loud uneven sobs. Her knees buckled and she hit the ground. All she did was curl herself into a tight ball, her chest heaving heavily. Her heart clenched and something about her was screaming to her. She felt empty and she needed something desperately. Her mind told her it was probably just her needing someone to be there for her.
Suddenly her door opened and she couldn't even find the strength to look up. She felt a pair of warm, strong arms wrap around her. She nuzzled into his chest, easily recognizing it as Tyler. Eventually her sobs subsided and she just laid there in his arms.
"Wanna talk about it?" he asked lowly into her ear. "I killed people. It was horrible," she whimpered out her reply. Tyler was clearly surprised, but just kept a calm facade. "So Klaus was there the whole time?" his tone was incredulous. "Yes. He stayed with me through it all," reminiscing all of last night's events she remembered from last night. They were distant and hazy, but she still could recall them.
"Wow. You know he thinks of you as something special right?" he asked cautiously. "I don't know why though," she shrugged and replied nonchalantly. "Because you are special Elena. Something about you that is light and makes even the most evilest vampires feel human," he said, trying to hint at something.
"I'm just a familiar face to all of them. They change because of their past feelings for either Katherine or Tatia, I'm everything they wished their Petrovas were," she said, easily insulting herself. "Wrong," their fingers locked together and he gave her hand a good squeeze. "You make me feel normal Elena. And it's safe to say I haven't been with Katherine nor Tatia. Only you," he whispered in her ear comfortingly. "Tyler. I don't understand this, but I'm glad you're here. Without you. I'd probably fall apart," she whispered back, feeling her gut-wrenching sadness fade away as they went back and forth with light conversation.
