-Elena's POV-

I stood up, furious. Why would he do that? I thought I could trust him but he is nothing but a selfish prick. He looked at me confused. "What's wrong Elena?" he ran his hand through his hair.

"What's wrong you ask? You are nothing but a selfish hybrid!" I yelled and ran away from him. It's sucks, I didn't expect it to hurt this much yet it does. I thought I had no feelings for him. Yet here I am, holding my tears back and trying to hide all my emotions for him.

"Elena! Wait!" he tried to follow me, gladly I was faster than him. We ran for what seemed to be forever and in no time, I lost track of him. I was happy that despite that, I didn't get a single headache and deep down, I hope that even for the tiniest bit, he cared about me.

I stopped, looking around and spotting a man staring right at me. Judging by his smell, he's a werewolf. "Ummm... Hello.." I waved at him while covering my body and it took him a few seconds before he understood the reason why I was running around undressed.

He sighed ,removing his shirt and throwing it at me. "I'm guessing you're a hybrid in distress. He smirked as I put on his shirt before nodding at him.

"How'd you know?" he placed a hand on his hip and the other one on his head.

"Well, there hasn't been a full moon in a while and your scent says you're a werewolf. Not a crazy nudist in the woods." My scent says all that out me?

"If you are running away from someone, cover your tracks". He said, reaching for a cologne bottle on his backpack and throwing it to me. Is everyone always this nice? I sprayed the cologne around the place and followed him to his place. I don't wanna go back to Klaus, so I'm staying with him for a while. He can't kill me that easily, I hope.

If he lets me that is. "If you are a hybrid, you must know Klaus" he opened the house door for me. The man lives on a mansion in the middle of nowhere... not weird at all.

"Yeah, how do you know him?" I looked around the place as he went to another room.

"Faith brought me to him. Not in a good way tho. He killed my entire pack just for disobeying him. You are one of the few hybrids that survived Klaus' big hybrid hunt I'm guessing," he said. Handing me an oversized Nirvana hoodie. I have no need to tell people about my real situation.

"Thanks. But why? Why are you being so nice to me?" I asked, tilting my head.

"Dunno. Somehow I just felt like I had to" he said staring straight at me. I smiled at him and sat on a near couch. Slowly, staring at my hands asleep to avoid any awkward eye contact. I fell asleep.

I woke up in a dark room under nice and soft covers. "Where am I?..." I sighed standing up to realize all of it wasn't just some weird dream. I walked out of the room and saw the man from earlier drinking coffee by the kitchen counter.

"Nice to see you're awake. Hungry?" I shook my head no.

I walked over to him and say down in the seat in front of him. Leaning my head against my hand, I looked at him "Do you know what it's like to be mated to a selfish person?" his eyes widened.

"I've never met my mate" he took another sip. His dark hair slid down from its upward hairstyle. He is kind of good looking. I smiled at him and crossed my arms.

"I need to get back home, I can hide there" I said and he nodded, agreeing with what I said.

"Mind if I walk you home?" he's so sweet if he was my mate I'd probably be living a happier life. "It's dark outside."

"That would be nice. Tell me... do you want to risk the oh-so-great Klaus getting mad at you and probably ripping your heart out?" I winked at him as I stood up. He stood there in shock.

"So you're Klaus' mate?... Must be a pain..." he placed the cup on the counter. I nodded, giggling to myself. I thank him before running back home.

"You don't know the half of it. Who would've thought he was a being worthy of a mate?" I joked and he shrugged. Waving at me as I made my way out of the door.

When I to touched the doorknob, he spoke: "Be careful out there. You know where to find me if you need me" I doubt I'll ever need him or that he'll ever help but hearing those words sounding nice. I waved goodbye and walked back home.

Arriving at my old, empty house. Klaus' scent was everywhere. I sighed and looked behind me to see Klaus furious at me. "Where were you all night? I've been looking for you!" he yelled making me flinch.

"What do you want? You're already king of the day and night. Feared by all. Leave me alone!!!!" I yelled at him, tears brimming my eyes and his eyes widened in shock. He looked... hurt. Was I wrong about him?

"You think..." he trailed off and looked down at the ground. "I'll just go..." he left in a blink of an eye and I was left alone in my old house. A tear slid down my cheek and I quickly wiped it off. Going to my room. This means I would be alone. Forever, as it was meant to be. I jumped to my bed and fell asleep once again.

Time went by, I didn't hear anything from Klaus. Not a single headache and I was happy. Happy trying to forget him. I thought that was all that I'd never hear from him again.

Two weeks later

I woke up in a jump and opened my bedroom windows. The sun felt nice and everything seemed great. I went over to my bathroom to brush my teeth. As I did, my phone rang and I walked over with my toothbrush still in my mouth "hey care"

"Elena get dressed, we're going to a party today"

"Worr?" (where?)

"Does it matter? Just wear something nice"

"Okway, bwuay"

I hung up and finished brushing my teeth and took a shower. Changing into a simple dress and leaving my hair wet and messy. "Seems nice" I fixed my heels and walked outside to go for a walk.

What to do. What to do? I looked around the place and Damon appeared in front of me. "Damon! You almost gave me a heart attack!" he chuckled and carried me up.

"What are you doing?" he sped over and we stopped at the mystic grill. "I'll leave you to it then, I did my part" he left me and Caroline there. I sighed "We're just going drinking, right?" she nodded, a smile on her face.

She clung to my arm and we walked inside to the bar. A slight scent from someone I've met before hit me but I ignored. Not sure who it was anyway. We asked the bartender for a couple of drinks and started drinking. By the time Caroline finished her first cup, I was already in my third one. "Elena, you might wanna slow down there". She told me, clearly worried before I finished the third one.

"I'm fine Care, don't worry. I can't get drunk... Most of the time" I smiled at her and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

After many drinks, I was clearly drunk. Nothing I could do about it. "Hey, Elena how about we get you home?" Caroline helped me as I stood up.

"No, no, no, you go home, I have stuff to do." she tilted her head in amusement.

"Oh, really? Like what?" She put her hands on her hips and smiled?

I stood straight and put my hands in my hips, mimicking her "stuff" she let out a frustrated sigh and grabbed her bag.

"Fine, I doubt anyone will kill you anyway.." she said as she walked away leaving me alone. I sigh as I walk out the bar to a scent I recognized all too well.

Klaus is nearby. Please don't notice me, Please don't notice me I walked up the steps and turned away from the smell but it didn't seem to leave. I sigh and turn around to see an empty street. "I'm hungry..." I mutter and find a woman walking past me. "Lucky me" I smile and walk over to her.

"Excuse me ma'am" she looked back and smiled at me. "Don't scream, this won't hurt a bit" I compelled her and bit into her neck, drinking the blood from her neck. How long has it been since I drank blood straight from the vein? I pulled back. "Now forget what happened and walk away".

I compelled her and walked the other way, with blood still on my lips. I started skipping and humming.

When I heard footsteps from behind me, I acted like I didn't hear them but that was the only thing I was focused on. Which of course meant I didn't see the giant pole in front of me which hit my head, knocking me out cold.

"Elena... Elena... Snap out of it" I was woken up by a British man with beautiful blue eyes.

"Well aren't *hic* you some eye candy

? Damn... If I wasn't mated, I'd tap that..." I smiled and stood up next to him. He chuckled and placed his hands on his pockets. "So sir, what leads you all the way here? Are you lost? Want me to take you to my bed?"

I smiled at him and his eyes widened in surprise and amusement. "Elena, are you ok?"

[Hiccup] "I am just great"

"I'm guessing you're just drunk"

"Drunk?! I am perfectly ok, look" I tried standing in one leg but I almost fell to the side before he caught me?

He stood quietly and raised me in the air. "Ooohhh... Are we going to your bed, you're really strong. I like it~ I feel like a princess" I snuggled to his chest and his sweet aroma made me feel comfortable just being in his arms. "So warm..." I muttered, falling asleep.
