The next day, Elena and I were running together. I have to admit, it was kind of nice to have someone to work out with. Sure she wasn't on the same level with me, and probably wouldn't be even if I wasn't a hybrid (or werewolf for that matter), but it was nice. After running all around town, she was winded. I felt like I could keep going, but I wasn't human.

"You okay?" I asked before I noticed a guy running not far from us. I noticed his smell and grabbed her. "You need to start running again. He's a hybrid."

The two of us began to run. I had to run at a human speed as to not lose her while we were still trying to lose him. After a few blocks, it looked like we lost him and we stopped, only to find him right in front of us.

"Sorry, I should have watched where I was going." He stated. It was a lie. I bet Klaus sent him to spy on us, maybe just Elena, but possibly both of us.

"You need to leave us alone." I warned him. Maybe I shouldn't let him know that we know. "Sorry, a little cranky."

"Have a nice day." He said.

Later, the two of us were with Bonnie at the Grill. I had changed into a short-sleeved yellow cardigan with a white tank top underneath and a denim miniskirt. It was a little hot for late September.

"Is it wrong for us to feel paranoid all the time?" I asked.

"Both of you have a right to be paranoid." Bonnie suggested. "You tried to kill him and we don't know what he really wants from Laura.

"So why hasn't he done anything yet?" Elena asked. "It's like he doesn't want revenge."

"Technically he didn't want revenge the first time." I pointed out. "He only took Stefan because they used to be friends."

"It's driving me crazy because I don't know if he's going to do anything." Elena replied.

"Well I keep expecting him to kidnap me." I admitted. "I don't think it's going to work out in the boarding house because no human lives there. Is there any way that I can stay with you?"

"We've already got Anna on the couch and Alaric in the guest room." Elena declared. "But I guess if you're that afraid, you can share my room."

"Well I keep having nightmares about the witch house and these four coffins." Bonnie explained. "Klaus is in one."

"Maybe they're his siblings." I opined. "He has three brothers."

"It could be a premonition." Elena offered.

"It's just stress. I'll figure it out." Bonnie argued. "What about Stefan? Has there been any sign of him?"

"He betrayed us, Bonnie." Elena replied. That's why she should date Damon. I know he's done bad things, but Stefan did worse things. "The Stefan that we know is gone."

"How's Damon handling that?" Bonnie asked. I had a good opportunity to answer that.

"Badly." I answered. "He's hurt more than he lets on."

"That's how he usually is." Elena told me.

I couldn't help but notice Damon at the bar. I also managed to overhear something about Jeremy being fired.

"I think you need to talk to your brother." I remarked. "It seems he neglected to tell you he got fired."

Elena looked pissed. I don't know where he was, but I bet it had something to do with Anna. She called him and left a very nice voicemail. By then, Damon and I were playing darts. He was kicking my ass.

"You seem feisty." He commented.

"It's not that I'm mad. Okay I'm a little mad if he's neglecting school and work to be with Anna, but I'm worried."

"Why?" Damon asked.

"Because I don't know where he is and Klaus hasn't done anything." Elena answered. "I'm worried for my loved ones."

"Klaus probably left town again." Damon remarked. "He doesn't seem to like it here."

"Are you okay?" Elena asked.

"What makes you think I'm not okay?" He asked.

"It's noon and you're wasted." I pointed out.

"It's not exactly your most attractive look." She told him. She just said he was attractive.

"What is my most attractive look?" He flirted. She laughed.

"I'm not saying that you have any attractive looks." She stated. You're into him, Elena. Stop denying it. "I'm saying this is my least favorite one."

"Noted." He declared. "I'll see if I can make any improvements."

"Don't mind me. Keep up the playful flirting." Klaus declared from behind us.

"Are you gonna do this in the Grill, in front of everyone?" Damon asked. "That's a little beneath you, don't you think?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Mate." Klaus replied. Did he have to be so British? "I just came down to my local pub to grab a drink with a mate. Get a round, would you Tony?"

I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised to see him. He looked at me, and I had no idea what he was thinking, but I didn't like it.

"I supposed you stuck around town long enough for happy hour." Damon commented.

"My sister seems to be missing. I need to sort that out." He declared. Why was the dagger still in her?

"It shouldn't be too hard to find a psycho blonde." Damon remarked. Damon, don't egg him on.

"The truth is I've grown to rather like your little town." Klaus replied. Please go away you creepy fucker. He grabbed a dart. "I'm thinking I might fancy a home here. I imagine you're all wondering how does this affect you and the answer is not in the slightest. As long as I get what I want and everyone behaves themselves, you can keep on living your little lives however you choose. You have my word."

"What more could you possibly want?" Elena asked. Don't say me. Don't say me. Please God don't let him say me.

"Well for starters you could start by telling me where I might find Stefan." He suggested.

"Stefan skipped town the second he saved your ass." Damon spat.

"Well you see that is a shame." Klaus said before he threw the dart hard at the bull's-eye. "Your brother stole from me. I need him found so I can take back what's mine."

"That sounds like a Klaus and Stefan problem." Elena declared. He stepped towards her and Damon and I stood in front of her. I was trying to hide my trembling.

"Well this is me broadening the scopes." He told us.

Later, I was at Elena's house with her and Ric. He was preparing dinner.

"You alright?" Our teacher asked.

"Vampire and Originals: no problem." Elena remarked as she set up some plates. "So is it really okay if Laura stays here. She's kind scared of Klaus."

"Couldn't you have been a little gentler?" I asked.

"I am still worried about Jeremy." Elena replied. "I don't know if he's trying to make up for lost time, but he's spending too much time with her."

"It's proof that you're still human." Ric stated before Jeremy walked in. I think I heard Anna outside.

"Just in time, we're cooking." Elena told him.

"Sorry, just passing through." Jeremy replied.

"Well I thought we'd all stay in." Ric responded. "We could all have a meal together: me, you two, your girlfriend and our new houseguest."

"I know she's outside." I stated.

"Why?" Jeremy asked.

"Maybe because you got fired and didn't tell us." Elena proposed.

"Can we do this later?" Jeremy requested. "Anna and I have plans."

"Well tell her to come in here." Alaric ordered. "She's part of the problem."

"You need to stop putting all of your time towards her." Elena said.

"You of all people are going to give me relationship advice?" Jeremy asked. Well I've lived here for an hour and I'm already in the middle of a family moment.

"You two are not leaving." Elena replied. I rushed outside and grabbed Anna and brought her in. "Now I get that you two are in love, but being in love doesn't mean spending every minute together. Now we are having a dinner."

Jeremy's phone rang suddenly and he left the room. Anna had gone to the bathroom. I couldn't hear what the call said. He then took his ring off and stepped outside into the road. Wait, was that a compulsion. Alaric and Elena were looking away. I then noticed an SUV speeding at him. I rushed over and grabbed him before he was hit. The drive then took a gun and shot us, but it hit Alaric. He seemed to die before he sped off. Were we just victims of a drive-by by a hybrid? Luckily Ric was wearing his ring. Jeremy looked confused as Anna rushed outside.

"I heard a gunshot." She stated.

"Who called you?" I asked Jeremy as I checked him for any injuries.

"It was Klaus." Jeremy stated.

"You were compelled Jeremy." Elena told him. "Where is your bracelet?"

I carried Alaric again as the four of us looked at each other. Damon came over immediately.

"How is he?" Damon asked.

"Dead." I answered.

"I mean baby brother." Damon declared. "Why isn't he wearing his bracelet?"

"I don't know what happened to it?" Jeremy replied. "I remember taking it off but I don't know what happened to it."

All of us looked at Anna.

"I didn't take it." She argued. "Why would I want him to be off vervain? I don't have it."

"Are you on vervain?" I asked the Goth girl.

"What do you mean?" Anna asked.

"I'm just thinking that maybe someone compelled you to get him to stop wearing his bracelet." I suggested.

"Oh my god." Anna realized. "I never had to worry about it and I keep forgetting to take it."

"Klaus wants us to find Stefan stole his coffins of his dead family members." Damon said. "So we just need to find four coffins and give them back to him."

"Wait, that's your plan?" Jeremy asked angrily. "To steal back four dead Originals so this evil hybrid doesn't kill me and everyone else we know?"

"You got a better idea?" Damon challenged.

"Yeah, let's get the hell out of here: pack our bags and go." Jeremy suggested.

"Jeremy, that won't work. Wherever we go, Klaus will find us." Anna told him. "But I'm not exactly for handing over the coffins either. There's someone in there that I don't want to see again."

Jeremy angrily stalked up to his room.

"I'm sorry." Anna apologized.

"You're coming with me so we can get some vervain on you." Damon declared as he grabbed her hand. He didn't have to be so rough. "Probably in you as well."

"We need to give him Rebekah back." I stated.

"No, the first thing he does is undagger her and she kills Elena." Damon replied. "It's not an option."

Elena then called Bonnie. She knew where the coffins were.

So Elena and Damon left. I was in charge of guarding the house and making sure that no one was compelled to do anything else. I had both Anna and Jeremy's phones in my bag and someone needed to be there when Alaric woke up. He ended up waking up around the same time that Elena got home. He looked like he was in a lot of pain.

"How's Jeremy?" He asked.

"Hating me and life and living here." His stepdaughter answered.

"So I guess you don't have the vervain." Anna remarked.

"I hate that we can't have a family dinner." Elena remarked. We then noticed that Ric looked seriously injured. Wasn't he supposed to heal? "Are you okay?"

He sneezed up blood.

"Oh my god." Elena replied. "Laura, you have to heal him."

"We don't know if it works that way for hybrids." I said. "We should get him to the hospital or call Damon or something."

Elena called 911 immediately.

"Let's not and say that we did." The hybrid replied as he stood in the doorway. The paramedics walked out.

Screw this. I went over and stabbed him with a wooden spoon before I ripped his heart out. I was a little in shock. That was the first person that I killed since my dad. We ended up going to the hospital. I realized it was a full moon. I realized that now would be as good a time as any to test out my ability to turn. I decided once we found out Alaric was okay that I would go out into the woods. I also decided that we would try my blood after I got a minute alone with him and surprisingly it worked.

From there I went into the woods. I took my clothes off. I needed to know how this worked. I was supposed to try to turn myself into a wolf. Do I just think about being a wolf or something? I then noticed my bones were starting to reform. It was the pain that I was numb to. It was working. My face was reforming, I was growing fur and almost instantly I was a wolf. It felt weird. I felt more than usual.

At some point, I decided that I wanted to turn back and I did. It was that easy. So now I knew how to do it. I just wish I knew where my clothes were. I stood up…and noticed Klaus in front of me. I quickly covered myself.

"Well don't you look ravishing, Love." He commented.

"Pervert." I spat.

"I meant as a wolf." He declared. "You're only one that I've created that actually wants to turn. Doesn't it make you feel so alive?"

"I don't have to answer your questions." I told him.

"I'm just being friendly, Love." Klaus stated. I really wish I had some clothes.

"You tried to kill Jeremy." I pointed out. "Fuck you, Klaus."

"I would think it'd be better if you let buy you dinner first." He quipped. I decided that if I sped away quickly enough, I could get away. "You know you might want these."

I looked at him in shock.

"Well I have to go make a deal." He declared as he deposited my clothing at my feet. I was confused. "See you around, Love."

I went home and noticed that Anna wasn't on the couch. Ric back and healed and I don't know where Elena was. I flopped down on the couch and fell asleep.

In the morning, I awoke to find Elena.

"Jeremy's gone!" She told me. "He took a suitcase with an a check for ten thousand dollars from the safe. I think he and Anna ran away."

Laura finally turned and she found herself naked in front of Klaus. Also I decided that instead of Damon compelling Jeremy to leave. he and Anna would run away together. You'll find out where they are in the next chapter. Finally, Laura seems to be a hardcore Delena shipper. That makes her the only living one. Please don't forget to review.
