I do NOT OWN The Originals OR The Vampire Diaries. I only OWN Maureen "Mara" Gilbert.

Maureen's POV

MARCH 24, 2011

"Well, if it isn't my dear sister, Maureen." I heard my sister's emotionless tone from behind me. I winced, turning to see her staring at me with a smirk. "What's wrong? You seem frightened."

"You don't have to be concerned, Elena. I know you don't care." I snapped, crossing my arms over my chest. She laughed, shaking her head at my words and moved closer. My feet moved back automatically, but was met with my car door. "What do you want?"

"I can't say hi to my sister, my only living family left? The weaker of the two of us." She smirked, stepping closer to me, her face close to mine. I shook my head at her words, turning my face away from hers. Ever since our brother Jeremy died and she turned off her humanity and burned our house to the ground, she had become a real bitch. She became everything that she wasn't. "Come on sis, you need to have fun."

"Get away from me." My voice shaking slightly. She laughed at my fear.

"You always were a weak little girl living in my shadow. No has never loved you, only pitying you because you are my sister. Damon only used you to get to me. You know that, right?" She stated innocently, making tears appear in my eyes. Yeah, Damon and I were together in the past, but it just didn't work out. He and I were just... it didn't feel right. "What about Elijah? The man that you hold feelings for. He may have kissed you that one time, but it was because you looked like the two people he used to be in love with. Tatia and Katherine. You're dumb enough to not see that he was using you."

"Shut up." I whispered, my eyes narrowing at my twin.

"What was that? I didn't hear you." She taunted, moving back slightly to give me more room.

"Shut up, Elena! You don't have any room to talk. You flipped your switch to take the pain away from losing Jeremy and everyone that we have ever loved. You had me and you still did it. You even burned down our house." I yelled, moving to shove her away from me, but before I could, she picked me up and slammed me onto the front of my car. A gasp escaped my lips when I felt shards of the windshield scrape my skin and made me bleed.

"You think you mean anything to me? That your words mean anything? You are nothing compared to me, Maureen. Nothing. And now, you are going to stop being a problem. Permanently." She sneered. My eyes widened when her face transformed and her teeth sharpened, bringing me off of the car and towards her body. Before I could scream out for help, she bit into my neck harshly. My mouth dropped and wanted to scream, but nothing seemed to come out. She continued to rip into my throat as my eyes began to lower. I'm dying. My own twin is killing me.

"Get away from her!" I heard a voice growl angrily. Suddenly, Elena was shoved away from me and I was falling to the ground. Strong arms caught me in time and lifted me up into their arms.

"Oh my god, Mara!" I heard a feminine voice yell out in horror. "Elena, what the hell were you thinking? You almost killed your sister!"

"Stay with me, love." The person that was holding me pleaded me. I dazed up at the person, trying to blink away the blurry mess. When my vision cleared slightly, I saw that it was Klaus that was holding me. He looked down at me with horror filled eyes, looking at my wound. I'm so tired. Dying.

"Klaus..." I mumbled, resting my head against his shoulder. Tired. No, no I need to stay awake.

"I'm going to get you out of here." He stated sternly as my world turned black.

My mind began to wake up, feeling as if I was laying on a soft bed. A groan escaped my lips and attempted to open my eyes. The first attempt didn't work, but the second one did. I blinked and saw that I was in a room.

The room that belonged to Klaus Mikaelson.

"Oh, good. You're awake." I heard the hybrid sigh in relief. I moved to sit up on the bed, and then Klaus was suddenly sitting next to me. He immediately tilted my head to the side, seeming to check out my neck. Memories of what I last remembered clouded my mind.

Elena, our argument, me shoving her back, her slamming onto my car, her pulling me up and...and biting me, and then me almost dying. Klaus saved me.

"You-You saved me. I don't know how I could ever repay you." I breathed, staring into his eyes. He gave me a small rare smile, pulling his hand away and scooted backwards. "What happened after I blacked out? Am I-?"

"No, you are still human. I didn't kill Elena, if that's what you're wondering." He answered. I nodded and knew that he wouldn't kill her. The cure was still out there and I knew that he wanted it so he could turn her back into a human and use her as a blood bag for his hybrids. There were no more hybrids left besides him and Tyler. "I knew that you wouldn't be keen on the act besides her almost killing you."

"Thank you." I thanked again. His grip tightened on my hand, gazing down before looking back up at me.

"Are you alright? After what happened..." He questioned softly.

"I don't think I'll ever be okay, Klaus." I whispered honestly. "What Elena said to me made me realize that I'm weak. I am a problem. I am a damsel in distress. I am someone that always needs to be saved. She's right."

"Maureen, you are none of those things." He argued, taking his hand out of mine to place them on both sides of my face. He made sure our eyes met, making me see that he was telling the truth. "You are one of the strongest people I know. And, that's coming from me."

"Maybe mentally, but physically? No. I'm not. I have had more people save me than me saving myself. I need to make myself stronger." I told him. I brought my hands and wrapped them around his wrists. He continued to stare at me and sighed.

"I know someone that can help you. Become more powerful and stronger." He told me, causing my eyes to light up. There was a way. "But, the person lives in Europe."

"What?" I breathed, pulling his hands away from my face and to the space between us. The person lived in Europe. That was hours and over seas from where I lived. I couldn't honestly just leave. Not with Elena, despite her almost killing me, was still emotionless. "Klaus, I can't just leave-"

"Yes, you can. They'll understand. Plus, you need this. You know you do." He reassured. I nodded, I do need this. It's. It like they'll care, well, except for Caroline and Stefan. They were my best friends. Bonnie and I were kind of close, but not really. She was always Elena's best friend. Caroline was always mine.

"Okay." I agreed after a moment. He smirked, pulling his hand away from mine to grab a duffle bag from the chair in front of the bed. My eyebrows furrowed when I realized that the bag was mine. "Uh, how did you get my duffle bag?"

"I went to Caroline's and told her that you were going away for away. She packed up your things and gave them to me." He answered simply. I raised an eyebrow, I wouldn't have thought that Care would do that. Especially since it was him. When he saw the look on my face, a sigh escaped his lips. "Fine, since I was still able to enter her household, I rushed to where you were staying and packed up your things and brought them here."

"How did you even know that I was going to agree?" I asked in disbelief.

"Because I know you, Miss Gilbert." He smirked, walking towards me with my bag in hand. I sighed, knowing that he did know me. He could always see right through me.

"You always do." I smiled softly. "So, when will I leave?"

"We leave in two hours." He corrected, causing my eyes to widen. What? "I need to get out of this town for awhile. Plus, I need to take you where you need to go."

"Okay. I guess we better get going." I told him, moving to stand up. He held my bag for me as I stood to my feet. I held out my hand to him, motioning to my bag. He just shook his head and grabbed my hand, zooming us to the front door. My mind spun, feeling dizzy from being zoomed to the front door. "You could've warned me."

"Apologizes." He smirked slightly, looking down at me as he took his hand out of mine, bending down to grab his bag also. "Ready, Gilbert?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." I said, giving him my best smile, opening the door for him. And, with that, we walked out and made our trip to the place that would change my life.

PLEASE READ!
Hey guys! I hope you liked the beginning chapter of my new story Weaker Girl! I am excited to be writing this and I hope you guys are too.

So, you found out that Maureen and Elijah have had some history. She and Elijah had started having feeling for each other. They were with one another before Elijah was daggered in season 2 and started to rekindle after he was brought back, but their relationship ended after he threatened to kill Elena when the Originals were linked. He thought that he was going to darken her and that he was wrong for her, so he ended it.

Klaus and Maureen are only friends, there will probably be feelings between the two though in this story, but not really. I am planing to make this a Elijah fic or whatever.
