Chapter 7

It was morning once we reached the Rocky Mountains and I was very thankful that I had brought a change of clothes in my purse and I was able to change in the car once Klaus and Stefan got out. I was not going to walk in the mountains with a very tiny short dress and heels. I put on a pair of light washed jean shorts and a grey t-shirt with no sleeves. I put my hair up in a messy bun and found my socks that went with a pair of black sneakers. I got out the car and run in order to catch up with Klaus and Stefan.

I'd been hoping Klaus would hurry in his quest to make hybrids because it had already been another month that has passed by with no hybrid army to show for. The worst part of a month passing by was the count down to the next full moon and tonight marked the night of a full moon. I was trying to keep my mind the transformation, knowing Klaus had other things to do but I knew he would remember that tonight I had to transform. I was secretly hoping Klaus' crazy plans would work even though I still an ounce of me knew that something was going to go wrong, like the true pessimist that I truly am ever since I became a werewolf a long time ago.

Listening to my every word, Klaus was making Stefan carry Ray's currently dead body that still hadn't woke up. I wondered how long it would take for someone to come back after drinking vampire blood but Klaus always told me it was different for everyone. We continued to go to the tip of the mountains since it was very predictable for packs to be as far away as possible from the tourist if they were in a popular town.

"You ok? Is Ray getting heavy?" Klaus asked and I smiled. By that point I was walking in front of them trying to find the pack but I could still hear them talking.

Klaus was taunting Stefan and he didn't even know it. He was still annoyed with the fact that Stefan was still thinking about his life back in Mystic Falls and I still knew he wasn't telling the truth about everything. I wasn't sure what exactly I believed was wrong with Stefan, but there was a vibe about him that was wrong. I knew for sure that Stefan was keeping a secret from Klaus and it was up to me to find out.

"I'm fine," Stefan replied grumpily while fixing his grip on Ray.

I smirked at both of them. "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." Klaus told him but Stefan wasn't listening; instead he continued to walk.

"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 replied and I shook my head making me believe The ripper is never going to appear for me.

"So much brooding. Your self-loathing is suffocating you, my friend." Klaus added.

"Maybe it's 'cause I'm a little tired of hunting werewolves." Stefan replied.

"It would had taken much longer if I never told Nik about Ray." I added I didn't say it loud enough but I knew they both heard me with their special vampire hearing.

"That's right, love, we'd still be looking if it wasn't for him. Packs are very hard to find." Klaus said appreciatively.

We continued to walk and I smiled, as we got closer, "We're here." I said and Klaus smiled.

"We've found ourselves a pack." Klaus said happily. We stopped and looked around at all the people and the tents as they were living happily.

Stefan walked in front of us and he entered the pack, every one watched him carry Ray's body. Stefan walked to the middle and threw Ray's body on the ground. Then returned back to where Klaus and I were standing.

A woman yelled Ray's name and quickly rushed over him in distress. Everyone begins to look at the three of us anxiously but Klaus ignores them casually and smiles in return.

"What's going on? Who are you?" The woman touching Ray's dead body asks.

"The important question is who am I. Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus." Klaus informs them smiling.

"You're the hybrid." The woman whispers as she gets up from the ground and stares at him. Klaus smile widens and I can't help but to watch his dimples grow in amazement.

"You've heard of me. Fantastic." Klaus says happily as he stares out to the rest of the pack. The three of us get closer to the pack and sit on what used to be a tall tree but is now a tree trunk on the ground.

Everyone is silent and they watch us as we walk. I thought to myself if they wondered if I was a werewolf or a vampire but I said nothing. Instead Klaus began to speak once he sat down.

"It's fascinating, actually, a werewolf who isn't beholden to the moon, a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun, a true hybrid." Klaus began to explain but didn't continue as Ray finally gasped for air as he woke up.

"Excellent timing, Ray. Very dramatic." Klaus said smiling to everyone.

Ray looked around as he realized that he was now in the mountains with his pack. "What's happening to me?" He asked afraid.

"Stefan?" Klaus queued him in.

Stefan gets up from his spot and look around the pack. "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 asked out loud for every one to hear.

"Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?" Klaus asked but instead he turned around and looked at the man standing behind him.

"You." Klaus said. I watch as he rushed over to and bites his forearm. In their vampire speed Klaus throws the man to Stefan who catches him and throws him to the ground in front of ray. The woman begins to yell again but Klaus rushed to her and strangles her to make her stop.

Stefan puts the man's forearm directly in front of Ray and continues to hold the man under him.

"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will. Problem is I don't know how to stop." Stefan taunts.

Klaus looks over to the girl he's strangling who's trying to save both men. "It's the new order, sweetheart. You join us, or you die."

"I'd rather die than be a vampire." The woman whispered.

Klaus eyes quickly changed and his vampire veins appeared. I sat and enjoyed watching the show, there was nothing sexier than watching him change. "Wrong choice." Klaus said as he took his wrist and bit it, force-feeding the blood down the woman throat.

"Drink the blood, Ray," I tell him gently. Ray looks at me and back to Stefan and then once more to the open wound, dripping in blood. He moves his mouth closer to the blood and begins to drink.

Klaus finished feeding the woman and he snapped her neck, "She'll thank me for that later." He says as he left her body fall down and he licked the blood from his fingers. His fangs had appeared and for an odd reason I liked watching his true form as a vampire. I don't quite remember much from when he was in his wolf from except for my dream but this side him was still pretty damn sexy.

"Ok, who's next?" Klaus asked as he smiled out to the pack and every one watched him afraid of what he would do to him.

After killing the woman in front of everyone Klaus went one by one giving the werewolves his blood and killing them all to transform them into hybrids. In the end Klaus goes back to the one and only human left from the pack and feeds him his blood in order to get him back to normal.

"There. Good as new. Now you relax, ok, mate? We're going to need you when the rest of them wake up." Klaus compels him as the human slowly heals himself with Klaus' blood. Klaus and Stefan go back to where Ray was sitting and watched him. I continued to keep my eyes on Ray because he should be feeling better now, some thing dramatic should have happened by now that hadn't happened yet.

"They're dead. They're all dead." Ray said as he looked around at his pack mates that were now all dead on the ground.

"Ah, he's through his transition. He should be feeling better soon." Klaus informed us.

"So is this your master plan? Build an army of hybrid slaves?" Stefan asked as he looked at Klaus.

"No, not slaves. Soldiers, comrades." Klaus replied easily.

"For what war, might I ask?" Stefan wondered teasing Klaus' plan.

"Oh, you don't arm yourself after war has been declared, Stefan. You build your army so big that no one ever dares pick a fight." Klaus replied simply.

"What makes you so sure that they'll be loyal?" Stefan continued to ask. The sire bond, I said to myself but didn't say it out loud for them to hear.

"Well, it's not difficult to be loyal when you're on the winning team. That's something you'll learn once you shake that horribly depressive chip off your shoulder." Klaus continued.

"That's why you're, uh... you're keeping me around? To witness my attitude adjustment?" Stefan asked.

"Nik," I said quietly as I move closer to Ray who was now bleeding but Klaus ignores me.

"You'll know why I'm keeping you around when I've decided that I want you to know." Klaus taunted Stefan.

"Nik! Something is wrong, it's not working." I said as I got up and stood in between both Klaus and Stefan. Together we all looked down to Ray whose eyes were now bleeding.

"Something is off." Klaus whispered.

"That shouldn't be happening, should it?" Stefan asked as he kneeled down and looked at Ray's face.

"Well, obviously." Klaus said sarcastically and I shook my head knowing this would happen. We needed a witch and we needed one fast.

"Nik," I said as I got in the middle and made them move. I held Ray's face and moved the blood with my fingers and the bleeding continued to flow back down. "He's going to start shaking pretty soon and then…" I began but I looked at Klaus' worried face and knew that I didn't need to finish for him to know that Ray would die.

"You said it was going to feel better. Why doesn't it feel better?" Ray asked sadly as he began to shake.

"Some master race." Stefan said as he watched Ray. I rolled my eyes at him. "Some ripper." I said in return but Stefan said nothing.

"Lose the attitude." Klaus said fierce fully to the both of us and I sighed heavily as I continued to watch Ray but then we heard the first woman that Klaus killed wake up again.

It was quicker than Ray but time was ticking and sooner or later the moon will begin to fall and I will begin to change.

"Derek, come feed your girlfriend." Klaus said as he got the human blood bag. As Klaus takes a hold of Derek Ray growls and begins to run away.

"Go get him." Klaus tells Stefan angrily. Stefan stares at Klaus for a few minutes but leaves after Ray.

"Good riddance." I say as I help the other woman get up for her to drink some of Derek's blood. Stefan catches Ray and throws his off to the ground but Ray gets aggressive and pushes Stefan and bites him in the forearm. Ray was half in his werewolf form so in a matter of hours Stefan would die if Klaus didn't save him, again.

"Watch it, sweetheart," Klaus says softly as he leaves to get Stefan. I turn and make Derek's girlfriend drink some blood and make Derek sit but this time on the tree trunk.

"Why are you helping him?" The woman asks me.

I shrug, "Maybe I'm compelled?" I reply but shake my head. "I'm interested in this hybrid army of his." I continued as she sat down where Ray used to be.

"Nik! They're waking up!" I yell at him and he comes back and watches every one slowly begin to wake up. I walk towards him and stop him. "Nik, her eyes are bleeding and she's shaking just like Ray. This isn't good." I said gently.

He sighed heavily and got Derek and continued to feed everyone with his blood. The hours were passing and every one continued to bleed out their eyes. Klaus easily became distressed as his plan of making hybrids was failing.

I walked towards him and turned him around I touched his face and forced him to look at me, "Nik, we need a witch. We will figure this out and we will get the hybrids I'll give you my own pack if I have to we just have to find out what's wrong." Klaus looked at me but didn't listen.

"I need to go the sun is setting, but wait for me at the hotel, all right?" I asked and he nodded. I got on my tiptoes and kissed him gently. I let go of him starting to walk away but in his vampire speed he caught back up to me and kissed me more forcefully. "It's not over yet," I whispered before I walked into the wood and as the sun began to fall I began to change.

-888-

I yawned and frowned as I woke up in the middle of the mountains once again sore and completely exhausted. I wanted to rub my eyes but when I looked down at my fingers I saw how disgustingly dirty they were that I didn't want to touch any part of myself.

I wondered if I killed anyone at night but as usual I couldn't remember but what I did remember was that I didn't have any spare clothes and I didn't have super vampire speed to get to the hotel with out getting noticed. I was completely naked.

I sighed heavily. "Well this certainly suck," I said to myself out loud.

"It does, love," I heard Klaus voice from behind me and I immediately jumped from the ground and stood up. "But seeing you this dirty and naked makes me feel quite better actually." Klaus said smirking as he looks at my body.

"This is disgusting." I added and he threw a bag at me. I opened it and smiled happily when I saw that the bag contained clothes.

"You are a very wonderful man." I said smiling.

"How do you feel?" He asked as he watched me get dressed.

"Very sore. What about you, where are we up to now?" I asked and Klaus sighed heavily.

"Chicago." Klaus said softly.

"Gloria?" I asked and he nodded. After I put on the short and t-shirt he brought me I walked over him and moved his hands so I could sit on his lap.

"Did you mean it about your pack?" Klaus asked.

"If it needs to be done, I'll tell you but we have to be absolutely sure that we can make hybrids." I said to him seriously.

"I always have the best witches with all the information." Klaus replied.

"And did you save Stefan after I left?" I asked.

"I killed some of them, the others just bleed out to death, and Stefan is the only comrade I have left." Klaus replied.

"You still trust him?" I asked.

"I see that you don't?" He said to me and looked at me more seriously. "Let me pick your head." He added.

"You did everything the witches told you, every step and some how the hybrids didn't happen. I don't trust Stefan because I know that his hiding something and I don't like the fact that his brother is trailing him when his brother is or well was in love with his "dead" girlfriend. Something happened or they did something that is causing your hybrids from dying. I say we go to Gloria and ask her how to fix it and please tell me that Gloria and you are in good terms?" I finished.

"Gloria will help," Klaus replied not truly answering my question in whether they were on good terms or not.

"You think I'm wrong to mistrust, Stefan?" I asked but Klaus said nothing. "I'm sorry I'm a pessimist but I don't trust him he's not a ripper, his emotions are completely there."

I got up from his lap and took his hands and made him stand up. "Will figure it out, okay?" I asked.

He wrapped his arms around me and nodded, "We'll do it together." He said softly and I smiled kissing him lightly on his nose.

I wrapped my hands around his neck, "Now can I please shower?" I asked and Klaus chuckled. "Yes, Stefan isn't at the hotel either." I held on to him tightly as he ran in his vampire speed, we got in the car and we drove back to the hotel. I wanted to go back to bed but I knew that now that we were going to travel all the way to Chicago I was going to have to stay awake.

Back at the hotel I went immediately to the bathroom Klaus walked behind me and went in the bathroom with me. "Are you joining me?" I asked and he smirked. I kissed his dimples I turned on the shower and removed my clothes.

"Do you remember anything from your werewolf form?" Klaus asked.

I shook my head, "No, but I will once I fall asleep and dream about it." I informed him.

I went in the shower and Klaus followed me in as well. I sighed happily as the hot water touched my skin and the dirt began to fall down the drain.

I felt Klaus reach for the soap and he lathered it on my back. He began to clean my back and my shoulders. I sighed appreciating the way his fingers moved around my body. I hummed as he touched me and enjoyed as his fingers worked their magic. Once he finished with my back and my bum he moved his hands to my front, cleaned my neck and went down to my breast.

"Nik," I sighed his name as he stopped cleaning me and began to play with my breast instead. He moved his fingers delicately, sending shivers all over my wet body, his fingertips found their way to my nipples and he pinched them slightly. "Nik," I growled as I felt myself grow wet inside.

I turned around and looked at his dark and cloudy eyes. He pulled me closer to his wet body, picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. "The things you do to me drive me insane," I whispered to him in his ear. I moved my lips to his ear lobes and tugged on them softly as Klaus positioned himself at my entrance.

I moaned loudly as he went inside me quickly and started to move forcefully as he didn't give me time to adjust to his size inside me. I dug my nails into his shoulders and I could smell the blood pooling by my nails as I scratched him.

He moved inside me quickly and roughly. "Nik!" I yelled his name as I let my head fall back on the bathroom wall and he continued to move. He bit my neck, not hard enough for blood to come off but enough to make my skin red. He moved his lips to my breast and he sucked on them as he moved quicker.

"Nik," I moaned.

"Caroline, love, tell me what you want, I want to hear your every word." He said seductively as he moved.

"Nik, go faster," I told him as he began to thrust inside me harder using his vampire speed.

"Caroline, keep talking." Klaus continued.

"Nik, please," I begged as he moved inside me again but stopped. "No." I yelped.

I looked at him and he smirked wickedly. "Talk to me, Caroline," he said as he touched every inch of my body.

I pushed his shoulders down for him to kneel down but I was so desperate to orgasm that I just wanted him back in me. "I want you to release yourself inside me." I whispered forcefully. I knew Klaus was going through a tough time, and nothing made me hotter than being able to provide him the best source of relieve he needed. I knew that he needed to be rough for a reason, to get all the endorphins out of his body, to get rid of all the frustration in his mind, to rid of all the negativity going on this summer with hybrid plan going wrong each time, I was going to let him do whatever he needed to do to me in order to feel better again.

Klaus smirked and entered inside me in full force once more. I pulled his hair as I felt my body bounce with friction as he began to thrust harder inside me every time he continued to enter me. He was angry and I could tell by his thrust how frustrated he felt.

He moved one of his hands to my folds and began to play with my entrance with his thumb. "Don't stop, Nik. Not until you're finished." I sighed and moaned loudly. This wasn't about my pleasure and me; it was about him, and getting his release. It was all about him making him better.

My body stiffened as I could feel myself getting closer to the edge and Klaus began to move his thumb faster. "Oh, Caroline." He said as he thrust harder and faster and I could feel his release coming. "Ahh!" I felt Klaus tremble inside me. His head falls on my shoulders as he lets himself go but his thumbs don't stop playing with me until I bite his shoulder as I explode.

He put me down on the tub and I felt my legs wobble, "Easy, love," he said gently as he let me stand on my own two feet again but my legs were too weak to stand.

"You are going to kill me like that." I said gently and Klaus chuckled. "That will be a good death." He answered while smiling brightly and I kissed his dimples.

I knew that this sexual encounter wasn't the kind of sex someone would consider what lovemaking would be; this was a lot more rough and it was the kind of sex that Klaus gave when he felt under pressure. It helped him relax with out having to talk about his feelings. Even though Klaus was opened with me unlike every one else he still had those moments in which he didn't explain how disappointed he was that the pack didn't fully turn into hybrids.

I watched him turn and get my shampoo bottle. He lathers the liquid in his hands before touching my scalp. His fingers worked my head like magic and I closed my eyes as he massaged my scalp. Once he was finished I let the warm water remove the shampoo and I let my hair soak in the conditioner for a few minutes once I finished cleaning my body.

Once I'm finished with my shower I turn to look at Klaus, I watch him very closely, wondering how many ideas he most be plotting in his head to get his hybrid army together. "Are you going to be okay?" I whispered.

"I'm always okay, love, but you do help me loads and I'm going to need your brilliant head into getting my hybrids." He said gently and as wraps his arms around my lower back pushing me closer to his body.

"I'll always be here to help you, Nik," I replied smiling brightly.

"You know," he began and I shook my head forcing him to stop talking quickly.

"No planning in the shower." I said as I kissed his lips and then his dimples. I wanted to say something more to him, I wanted to express how much I cared and how I was truly feeling a deep love for him and how I would never leave him but I kept it to myself. I didn't want to push him away by telling him something he wasn't ready to listen just because I knew the man all too well.

Stopping the water and ready to leave the shower, Klaus stops me by pulling me back to him. "Don't hold back, love." He stated as he looked at me straight in the eyes and keeps a tight grip on me. I didn't know if he knew what exactly I was holding back but as I opened my mouth I couldn't find my voice.

"Caroline?" he asked and I closed my mouth instead.

"Nothing," I whispered but in return he pulled me closer to his wet body instead.

"Don't keep secrets, sweetheart." He added and I looked at him, his eyes were soft and bright. I didn't know if this was the right to tell him.

"I…" I whispered but I could say it. Klaus kissed me softly and deeply. I could feel the passion in his kiss and I knew he was telling me how he felt. Maybe he felt exactly the same way I did but I knew he didn't have the strengths to tell me the same words. "I love you." I mouthed as we were kissing and surprisingly Klaus didn't stop kissing me.

I wasn't expecting him to say in return because that wasn't something Klaus would do. I knew how he felt because he showed it to me with every kiss and with every touch but I couldn't help it that I just slipped the "L" word while kissing him.

"Caroline," he whispered.

I kissed him once more, "No." I said and began to walk away. I got my towel and dried myself up but Klaus continued to watch me. I could feel his eyes watching my every move.

I was about to open the door to get dressed in our bedroom but Klaus stopped the door so that I couldn't leave. I turned around and looked up at his eyes. He leaned down and kissed one side of my neck and then moved to the other side. He moved his kisses higher to my jaw and kissed both sides of it. He kissed my forehead gently and down the bridge of my nose until he got to his lips. He dipped his tongue inside my mouth and let my own play with his. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he continued to kiss me gently.

I could taste the passion and the caring in his kisses and his touches. When we let go of each other to catch of breath Klaus moved his lips to my ears. "Oh, love, you don't understand how much I want to."

I looked at him and smile, "I'm not ever going to rush you." I said simply. "You're capable of so much and you don't even know it, I realized it the second we met two years ago."

"Caroline," he said once more and his mouth was right by my ear and his hot breath made me shiver, "I do, so much more than you believe." I knew Klaus explanation before he even began and that's why I couldn't help but to smile.

I held his face, "I'm here to be with you no matter what happens we stick together, yeah?" I asked.

Klaus kissed me one more time, "Don't say things you can't mean." Klaus replied.

I shook my head, "Believe my words, I left homecoming, I left the chance to become homecoming queen to be with you that has to mean something, no?" Klaus chuckled.

"You're going to have to kill me to get rid of me." I said gently as we left the bathroom.

"Oh, love, I would never." He replied as he walked behind me and we got dressed in our bedroom.

"You will be a hybrid and be with me forever," he said gently as he kissed my neck. "And even then I won't leave you until death." I said as I kissed his dimples. I always did love kissing his dimples; I always did ever since our first kiss. The man did have the most beautiful dimples in the world, just like his sexy accent and body.

Once I finished getting ready and packing my bag once again Klaus took my bag with one hand and my hand with the other. "Time to leave, Stefan should be outside waiting in the car."

"Has he been waiting all this time?" I asked and Klaus nodded.

"He's going to be broody." I replied.

"He has been like that lately." Klaus replied and I rolled my eyes. "I still don't trust him." I murmured.

"You trust people a hell of a lot less than I do." Klaus replied.

"Well, my parents have been lying to me my whole life and never told me I could become a werewolf so trusting people is hard to come by." I replied.

Klaus nodded, "But you trusted me?"

"You never lied to me," I said smiling. "You're quite an honest man even when you're broody." I said giggling.

We reached the car and I got comfortable in the back seat of the car and I hoped I could take nap. I yawned as I lay down and my eyes quickly fell.
