Azalea awoke with a start later on, gasping loudly, a hand going to her chest, feeling the spot where the blade had pierced her healed up...
Somehow.
"Lea-?"
She flinched at that, then saw Niklaus with a similar blood mark on his shirt. He was over in a flash, putting a hand over her heart, finding that there was no cut.
Like himself.
"Nik-? Lea-?"
They looked around to see Rebekah waking up, looking at the blood with wide and terrified eyes.
"What happened-?" She breathed now, and Azalea muttered. "Mikael... stabbed us. He killed us-!"
"That I did."
The trio snapped around to see the man himself walk in, dragging a woman behind him. Azaleas hand was tight in Niklaus' now as he hissed. "What are you doing?"
"Finishing what we started." He snapped, yanking the girl down, crouching next her as he raised a blade, and ran it along the inside of her forearm.
Azalea froze as the blood welled up through the cut, then it hit her-
How... delicious it smelled and looked. Almost like it was the sweetest fruit he could imagine.
The other one sliced now and pushed towards her. She leaned forwards, eyes fixed on the scarlet oozing out, then glanced to Mikael who just hissed. "Drink."
There was no need for encouragement as she bit down into it, eyes snapping open at how... powerful she felt. Azaleas heart was hammering against her chest now as she bit harder, a snarl escaping her like a feral cat.
Azalea looked up to see Niklaus had finished, looking almost stunned, blood smuged all over his face. He leaned forwards, putting a hand on her cheek, almost like he was seeing her with new eyes. But now those eyes were fixed on the blood around her mouth, smirking a little as he leaned forwards, kissing her hungrily, trying to get the blood of it, Azalea doing the same, pulling him closer, a growl in her throat as the wave of emotion hit her.
It was only when Mikael yanked the pair apart that they realized how much they had just let themselves go.
"Your emotions, everything is heightened." Mikael said now, and Azalea understood- no wonder she had felt such a rush kissing Niklaus. If she loved him before... she was besotted now. All that lust, all that love... it was intensified.
What was happening to them-?
-AtY-
Later that day, things got... weirder...
Azalea sat inside the house, her fingers pressing on her teeth- fangs.
Fangs-?
Niklaus came into the room now, and she looked up, making him stop dead when he saw the fangs.
"What was that?" He asked as she hid them with a hand, but he walked over, yanking her hand away, gasping as he saw the fangs.
"I thought... I was the only one..." Niklaus muttered, showing her his own, and she frowned, raising a hand to them, pricking her finger on them, staring at the bloodied finger as it healed before her.
"Mikael says that... it is something that will make us stronger. Azalea..." he took her hands in his and smiled. "We are going o live forever."
Azalea was silent at that, but then he leaned forwards and kissed her passionately for a moment, making her realize he was telling the truth-
They really were immortal.
Always and forever.
"Watch this." Niklaus smirked, then Azalea gasped as he vanished, then he was behind her. He'd moved as fast as lightning...
"I'm... goodness. We are... like gods." She muttered.
"No. Better than the werewolves."
The pair looked up as Mikael walked in, then he saw the fangs and just said. "Put them away. They are not playthings."
They did, and Mikael walked over to the window, hissing as the sun caught him on the side of his face, blistering it up for a moment. Niklaus watched in surprise at that, then the elder man growled. "Go outside and you will burn to death."
Azalea was silent, then Mikael snorted. "Almost poetical- they are slaves to the moon... We are trapped by the sun." He punched the wall, his fist going through it, the pair before him deadly silent as he left.
What was happening to them-?
-AtY-
When night fell, the family emerged.
Azalea stared into the darkness, seeing next to everything, Niklaus, Elijah and Rebekah at her sides.
"Goodness I am so... hungry-!" Niklaus complained, and Elijah nodded. "I cannot think straight."
Azalea gulped hard, her throat on fire.
There was footsteps nearby, and the four stopped dead, similar urges shooting through them.
"I..." Rebekah started, but then she stepped forwards, the trio behind her watching a young man tie up a horse to a tree. She walked over, and he turned, frowning. "Yes milady?"
Azaleas eyes grew wide as he screamed, Rebekah ripping into the mans neck. Elijah was over in a flash, a hand over the victims mouth, pushing his sister away, snarling.
"What are you doing-!"
But he trailed off as the blood got onto his hand, then he just leaned forwards for a second, then growled, biting into his neck. Rebekah smirked, then stepped forwards, biting into the other side.
Azalea shook her head, eyes wide, hissing. "Nik-!" As he flashed forwards, ripping the mans shirt down, biting into his shoulder while his siblings fed on his neck.
"Lea-" Niklaus muttered, pulling her over, grinning. "Try him." She shook her head, but then the blood called to her, and she leaned forwards, ripping into his already torn shoulder, Klaus joining her in a flash.
The four of them fed on him for a few minuets, feral snarls escaping them until he was completely drained, then let him drop, feeling that rush of power go through them again.
"My god..." Elijah muttered, raising a hand to his bloodied mouth. "That was..."
"Amazing." Rebekah finished, then grinned, looking through the darkness. "I hear another. A couple sitting beside a fire... I can hear their heartbeats." She stalked forwards, and after a moments hesitation, Elijah followed.
Niklaus was about to, but she grabbed his arm, muttering. "We just killed a man..."
"Actually, Rebekah did." Klaus smirked, placing a kiss on her lips, groaning at how good they tasted with all the blood on them. "Come- I'm still hungry." He told her, dragging her forwards to where the scream echoed, footsteps hammering towards the pair.
The girl facing them was spattered by blood, eyes wide in fear as she saw the pair before her, their mouths covered in blood.
Azalea felt a smirk appear on her face, then she flashed forwards, ripping into her throat, feeling the blood give her that rush of power, groaning into her neck, letting her go as Klaus bit the other side, snarling like a wild beast.
But then the girl dropped to the floor, dead.
And Niklaus' eyes were wide as he put a hand to his head, then he almost whimpered, closing his eyes, letting out a yell of agony, falling to his knees, grabbing his head more tighter.
"Nik-!" Azalea gasped, kneeling next to her, holding him, adding. "What-? Nik! Please, what's happening-?"
He looked up now, meeting her eyes and making her gasp in horror, falling backwards as she saw his face...
The face of a demon and deep golden yellow eyes.
Like a werewolves.
He screamed again now, falling onto his back, almost pulling out his hair as the pain ripped through him.
"What's going on-!"
Elijah and Rebekah had arrived, and Elijah was pinning his brother down by his shoulders as he snarled like a beast. But then Elijah went flying, smashing into the tree with a groan as Niklaus pushed him.
He was almost whimpering in pain as he lay there, body aching like never before.
Azalea ran over, putting a hand on his chest, muttering. "Niklaus? Klaus? Talk to me. What happened."
"On... fire..." he just muttered, meeting her eyes, and Azalea saw that they were golden once more.
"Oh my god." Rebekah breathed, seeing her brothers eyes. But then a crack rent the air, and the girls almost fell back as Niklaus almost screamed, turning over and digging his fingers into the dark earthy ground, the agony shooting through him.
Azalea watched him snarl, his fangs almost growing for a moment, eyes growing darker. She pulled Elijah to his feet, watching her lover scream, bones cracking, clothes splitting around the stitches, making Azalea realize-
He... was changing.
Like a werewolf.
"Run-" Rebekah muttered now as Niklaus turned on them, almost fully changing, dark fur shooting up all over him, his yells of agony echoing through the woods.
Azalea agreed, and the trio just ran, looking back the entire time, scared...
Scared of Niklaus.
-AtY-
When they got back to the house, Rebekah almost screamed. "Mother-! Father-!"
The pair arrived, and Rebekah shook her head, Azalea saying the words.
"Niklaus... he... changed. Like... a werewolf."
Mikael frowned at the three, not believing them...
But one look at their expressions told him otherwise-
Niklaus was part werewolf-?
Esther gasped, almost stepping backwards. But making a sound was the biggest mistake, as her husband realized. You weren't made a werewolf...
You were born one.
He turned to her, eyes almost narrowing as he snarled. "What did you do."
Everyone was dead silent as Mikael walked forwards, then grabbed Esthers wrists, yanking her forwards as he said with so much venom.
"You fucking whore."
"Oh my god..." Azalea realized, seeing the tears in Esthers eyes, and regret...
She understood Mikaels fury-
Niklaus was literally a bastard child.
The child of a werewolf.
Azalea was shocked to see tears sparkling in Mikaels eyes, never realizing before how much that man loved his wife...
But it had changed now as they grabbed him, hardly able to hold him back as he raged, trying to get to her, snarling.
"All these years together, and you go and fuck a werewolf-! You whore! You fucking, cheating, lowlife whore-!"
Elijah and Rebekah managed to throw him out the room now, hearts hammering against their chests as they locked it leaving him to calm down.
Esther hadn't said a word, but there was tears running down her face.
"You didn't-?" Azalea asked her, eyes wide...
Then the elder woman nodded, making the trio before her groan.
Things just kept getting worse and worse...
And where was Niklaus-?
-AtY-
Niklaus never returned home that night.
Azalea was beyond terrified that he was dead, caught by the sunlight. As soon as the light was low enough, she flashed out, searching the woods for him.
She had been looking for so long that she didn't care if the sun caught her.
"Nik!" She called, letting out a sigh.
But then there was a flash behind her, making her turn, heart racing- something was stalking her.
Maybe she shouldn't have come out alone...
Suddenly, she was yanked to the floor, going to push the person away when she recognized the grin.
"Hello sweetheart." Klaus grinned, bearing down on her with her hands above her head on the floor, pinned by the man on top of her.
"Nik-?" She breathed, slipping her arms around his neck, pulling him down and kissing him for a moment, not caring if those new fangs of hers came out.
"Oh, that's me." He smirked against her lips, and as Azalea moved her hand to his back, she realized with a deep blush that he was complete and utterly naked, his clothes ripped away from where he had changed.
"Nik-" she muttered as he ran a hand up her leg to her thigh, pushing the dress away with a smirk. But then she scowled and grabbed the hand that was steadily creeping higher up her leg.
"What are you doing?" Azalea hissed, keeping a tight hold of his hands before they could wander somewhere else. He tried to pull away, but she flipped them over, trying to ignore the fact he was naked underneath her.
Like that was anything new (!)
"You look so... good." He told her with a grin, leaning up to kiss her, but she moved back, frowning-
This wasn't too like him at all. He was acting as if he was some ravenous wol- oh. Now she understood.
Everything had been heightened when he turned into that fanged creature... and now again with his werewolf side?
Azalea was still thinking as he leaned up, kissing her neck, raising a hand and pulling her down, groaning into her shoulder. "You... are beautiful."
She flinched as he bit into her neck, almost laughing as he did so, feeling drunk from the heightened emotions that had been enhanced twofold, his wolf instincts telling him that this girl was his. She belonged to him. Alpha and Omega of their own wolfpack. His property of sorts.
Azalea let him flip them back over now, kissing her bloodied neck with a feral snarl, wondering if he was still changing back from a wolf. He pulled her dress off now, marveling at her bare form, kissing and playfully half-biting each bit he touched, exploring every inch of the body he knew so well, seeing it in a new light. New emotions raging through him as he growled into her neck with another grin. It widened as she groaned into his shoulder as he eased into her, chuckling.
"You always did call me a wolf in bed." He told her as he kissed her. Azalea nodded, her eyes closed against his chest, nails in his bare back as she answered. "Who knew that I was so right?"
"Who knew?" He just told her, pulling her closer so the cold night air didn't bother her too much. But from the warmth spreading through her body from the blood she had drank earlier, and, or, the man ontop of hers warm body, she didn't need him to.
But someone needed to cage the inner wolf of his.
-AtY-
It was nearly dawn that the pair finally sneaked back to the house, Klaus not having a scrap of clothing to wear. So it was a good job no one saw him.
He groaned as he laid down on his bed, pulling the covers over himself and let out a groan.
Azalea smirked, prodding his foot as she put the boards to the windows, blocking the light, but she could still see as clear as day in the darkness.
"Maybe you shouldn't have seduced me so soon, hmm?"
Klaus nodded, pulling the covers over his face with another groan. "My- my body hurts. I changed into a wolf, Azalea..."
Azalea was silent, then sighed. "You... were born a werewolf."
There was a silence, then Niklaus sat up, frowning. "I-? But?"
"Your mother... she had an affair." Azalea told him quietly, and the silence was so deep they were both sure they could hear the others brain buzzing away.
Niklaus shook his head, muttering. "No... I can't be..."
Azalea got into the bed next to him, making him face her as she put a hand on his cheek. "Sweetheart... I think you might be something else to us all. A hybrid of some kind."
"Yes... we are vampires now. Bloodsucking monsters... and I am even worse." Klaus said in a dark voice, and Azalea groaned into his chest. "It doesn't change anything. So what if you are both? You are powerful- a god in the making, Nik. There will never be anyone like you. You are unique. A king."
Klaus frowned a little, then asked in a low voice. "Can you be my queen?"
Azalea chuckled, kissing his cheek. "I'll always be here for you, my love. You don't have to be alone."
But the newly born hybrid shook his head. "I am the only one of my kind... what if-? What if we spend eternity together, and I am alone-?"
"You will never be alone! How many times must I tell you that-?"
"No You don't understand-!" Klaus almost roared, and Azalea flinched- this werewolf business had heightened his anger. He never snapped at her like this. Never.
"I'm sorry." He groaned, burying his head in her chest, making her groan as she heard sobs. He was hurt... and now that he was a hybrid, it was twice magnified.
"Why does this always happen to me Lea-? I never asked to be born! And now I am this.. hybrid monster-? What did I ever do wrong..."
Azalea sighed, letting him get it out his systems, closing her eyes as she hugged him, thinking herself-
He was right though-
It truly wasn't his fault for being born like this.
The blame rested squarely on the shoulders of his parents.
This is actually only half of the chapter I had plannedXD but it's getting late here, so I thought I'd cut it in half and put the next up tomorrow:) well, the hybrid's out the bag now! Let's get this party started;D thanks for the lovely reviews x Nic
