I paced while Klaus did what he wanted to Stefan. He didn't hurt him as much as I thought he would, afterall Damon was the one who took Hope. I walked with him towards the stairs when he chained them together and I followed behind.

"You still need that drink." Klaus said and I just followed him again. He got to a room with some antiques. A few paintings, bottles of liquor and as he poured me a drink I went to sit down. I crossed my legs and looked at my romper and picked at the dried blood. "I'm sure you can get a new outfit from my sister if you asked nicely." He told me as he came to sit down near me.

"I'm sure." I said and took a sip letting the taste hit my tongue before going down. It burned slightly but it wasn't anything new. I looked at him and waited for something.

"So you know what being a hybrid entails? Eating real food by choice, still needing to drink blood." He said and that was when I remembered the phrase he said.

"Yesterday... you said that the girls blood was delicious. I never really could taste any difference in blood until last night... that man tasted so good and it was something new." I said and the thought had my veins emerging and Klaus leaned forward.

"What did it taste like?" He asked and I thought back to it.

"Like the best candy. I used to love taffy when I was human. It was sweet and it was savory, and it was the best thing I have ever felt. It was like heaven." I whispered and I felt hungry again. I took deep breaths as Klaus smirked at me and stood up.

"Shall we go and get something to eat again?" He asked and I stood up happily. Ready to get something that tasty again. I walked with him around the Quarter with Klaus, he was telling me how the vampires of the Quarter were forbidden from eating the locals, and that we just had to make sure they were from out of town. I compelled a couple men at the bar until I found a girl who only moved here last week. She was here for a month but lived in Washington. Since Klaus and I were basically hunting together he was who I looked to, to see if that counted as a tourist.

"Well, let's buy you another drink and go explore the city." Klaus announced and waved the bartender over. The woman agreed at just the sight of him and gave me a smirk before touching his chest and making advances. I compelled the guy behind the bar to give us free drinks.

"So, who is the girl? A hang on?" The woman asked as we got outside. Klaus and I led her out the back way.

"No, not a hang on. She's my companion for the night. Getting dinner and all that." He said and I smiled getting closer.

"Dinner? How did you end up at a bar if you just went for dinner." She asked and giggled when Klaus reached out to touch her cheek making her look in his eyes. He compelled her not to scream and to act like nothing was happening.

He started feeding first and I joined in taking her wrist as my choice rather than the neck. I felt the blood rushing in, the taste swirling around, giving off euphoria and a tang that just made it taste like candy. An addictive kind that I loved. I felt her draining and I rushed for more of the blood before feeling Klaus pulling the wrist away from me. I gave him a look before noticing the blood all over his chin and I grabbed his face and used my thumb to wipe it off and I sucked my thumb and hummed at the final taste. I felt Klaus grab my cheek before pulling me up and slamming his lips onto mine.

I licked over his lips tasting the blood again and humming as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me up. I wrapped my arm around his neck and my other hand went to his side and over his heart so I could feel it speeding up. He pulled away and turned towards our meal and made her forget this happened, right after giving her a bit of blood to help heal her and then he turned back to me and gave me a small smile.

"Another?" I asked and he grabbed my hand before tugging me out of the ally and towards the city.

We feasted in 4 more people before he dragged me to a hotel and went to the top floor. He was holding me tight as we walked through the building. No one seemed to care that we had blood here and there on our clothes, his face was clean of it and I was sure my lips retained some of the darkness but it went completely unnoticed.

He brought me into the penthouse and the scent of death was around I looked around for a corpse or something before feeling Klaus walking just behind me. "Guess this is someone elses room." I said turning to face him and leaning back against the wall.

"Used to be an old friend of mine. He passed along." He said and came closer.

"And why did you bring me here and not back to the compound?" I asked tilting my head.

"Less eyes around." He muttered and got even closer and I took a step to the side.

"Am I to be your dirty little secret?" I asked and giggled before shaking my head. "As horrible as Damon was as a father, and still is, he warned me from being a secret for men. I liked the kissing and the feeding but I'll be blunt. I am a virgin Klaus, and I won't lose it being a secret." I said and looked his face over. There wasn't a bit of shock in my reveal and as I walked past him I bumped his shoulder and was in a vision.

I was in one of my favorite dresses. Gliding down the hallway. The feeling of being late was coursing through me. I was in my old home, rushing and picking up my skirts. I got to the stairs and trotted down seeing Klaus there. He was in the same kind of clothes and held his hand out for me. I took it and he gripped it and pulled me down and into his arms spinning me. He set me down and brushed my hair away from my face before kissing me again.

I opened my eyes seeing Klaus pulling away and I stepped back again and shook my head. "You might not get no as an answer a lot Niklaus, but that is my answer." I said pushing his shoulder this time and heading out.

I got to the elevator when I made sure the doors closed before Klaus ever made it to the elevator. I got to the ground floor and went looking for another place I could stay. I compelled my way into a room. I compelled real room service. I compelled myself clothes the next day and made my way back to the compound ready to apologize to Rebekah for messing up, yet, another outfit.

I walked in wearing a green dress that went down to my mid thigh. It had thick straps and showed off my chest. I had black flats on that wrapped around ankles. I had a black sweater around the bloody clothes. "Well hello." I heard Kol and looked up to see him looking down at me.

"Where is your sister?" I asked stopping where I was.

"She's here somewhere... can I help you with anything?" He asked moving down the stairs and I watched him closely.

"Get the blood out of her clothes?" I asked holding them up for him to look at.

"Easy... throw them out." He said trying to get them from me.

"They are not yours to throw out. After all your years you haven't thought of finding ways to get the blood out of clothes?" I asked and he sighed. I got to the end of the stairs when Rebekah called out my name. I got to the top and looked into her room before seeing her holding dresses up. Very expensive dresses.

"When Klaus came home he was in a tiff, bloody and I wasn't sure you were still alive." She said turning to me with an almost knowing smile. "He promised you were. I just needed to see you to believe it." She said before noting her clothes in my hand. "Had a good meal?" She laughed.

"Your brother and I had quite of few people yesterday. Got a little messy." I said and winced. "Kol said I should throw them out but I wouldn't do that without your permission." I said and she smiled.

"These are slightly cheap, slightly available everywhere so it doesn't matter." She said and took them before tossing them towards a trashcan. "Now I like what you have on." She said eyeing me and then smiling. "Dressing up for anyone?"

"Uh, no. Liked the color, shoes are nice. Have a sweater if it gets cold." I said and moved to put it on.

"Well I am sure Damon will want to talk to you. He was calling out for you last night but since you didn't come home we just let him sleep." She said and I smiled and turned only to see Klaus coming out of another room.

"Nice of you to turn back up." He commented and I shrugged.

"I feel like there is already a lot of people here, don't want to put anyone out or make anyone uncomfortable." I stated and moved to go downstairs where Damon was yesterday. He was awake and looking up when I walked in and I just looked at him.

"I see you're okay."

"I see you're still an asshole." I challenged and walked towards him a bit but not too close.

"You killed someone didn't you?" He asked and I nodded. "Anger?" He asked and I shook my head.

"He was bleeding. You knew I couldn't resist an already bleeding person and I couldn't stop." I said and crossed my arms. "Where am I from?"

"Smokey Hills." He sighed out and turned to actually look at me. "Your parents were fleeing from something. Both had triggered their curse and knew that while they ran they couldn't keep you safe. It was near a full moon when you were left at that orphanage and you had a note that said they would be back in a weeks time. But they never came back." He said and shifted a bit.

"They were planning on coming back?" I asked and he nodded. "How did you find them?" I asked and he made a face like he really didn't want to tell me and when he didn't start to speak I reacted and brought my foot up to slam down on his knee. It broke and he was screaming out my name. "How did you find them?" I asked again.

"I tracked the local, or the closest pack, asked about a girl that looked like you, age, things like that. They told me that witches were driving them apart. But the actual pack was disrupted or whatever when the king and queen died. You were their daughter. They had been searching for you. They wanted to trigger your curse... you were only 13 when I found them." He panted out and moved to push his leg back into place since it wasn't that bad. "I couldn't let them do that to you." He whispered and shook his head.

"Damon, stop talking." I heard Stefan warn and I took deep breaths looking at him. I walked up to him, the fear I once felt being close to him gone and now I was just filled with rage. I grabbed a stick from the ground, already covered in his blood and stabbed it into his stomach. "You're feeling angry at me now instead of the fear because the curse, not because you-"

"I am feeling it all now because my emotions are all free! Not because I am now a werewolf. You're lucky that I didn't trigger it before seeing you again. You would have had your heart in a trophy box, your body ash and in a small urn for your brother. Now I am considering putting you side by side until I can kick you off of something very tall." I said and took the stick out before shoving it a little higher.

"Annie, stop... please. You haven't had much experience with anger... and taking it out on people-"

"Whose fault is that Damon? How come I can't control my anger? And I am not taking it out on people. I am taking it out on my killer. My sire... right Stefan? Oh, wait, you don't remember. What was it that you said?" I asked pulling out the stick and letting it drip his blood and I watched him heal as he kept his mouth shut. "It's like it never happened because you were a Ripper. Right?" I said and plunged it back in making him groan loudly. "So because my anger is so passionate right now I won't be held responsible if you just die... and die and die." I added and started to punch through organs before leaving it in his liver.

"I was wrong-" He coughed and blood came out in a string.

"I think that was already proven." I said and grabbed his chin and brought it close so we were looking eye to eye.

"I'm sorry." He said and I feigned relief before glaring at him again.

"I'm not." I said and jerked his head around until it was broken and I went back towards Damon. "What were you saying about the wolf pack?"

He looked from Stefan to me and looked utterly defeated. "They wanted you to trigger your curse, at 13. They were going to make me take them to you, and so... I killed them. All of them." He declared and met my eye. Waiting for something. For me to react.

"Women and children or do you evolve over time to cradle snatching?" I asked and he sighed and groaned.

"I only took that kid because I needed you to be bind all over again!" He shouted his explanation and I rolled my eyes.

"That wasn't the answer to my question. Women and children?"

"No. Just the men. The women were mostly human, none triggered and the kids were innocent." He said and I glared.

"Kids are innocent Damon. Klaus' daughter is innocent. I was innocent. Before you I would have been happy making my way as a maid. Finding a good hardworking husband and having kids who would be loved and cherished like normal people do. And then you took me in. Made me with for a completely different life. A one filled with thousands of years to find and make a bigger family. For an eternity of love most people only get once in a life time. And just when things were getting okay and we were making plans everything about my wishes leave. I wanted that time to think about what I wanted."

"I would have never turned you." He told me shaking his head and I bent down.

"I wasn't even sure I wanted you to. I would have been happy to see the world. To see things and then come home and think about the chance of a family." I said and shook my head. The tears were gliding across my water line and towards the corner and I hated that they were going to fall. "And then I find out you were lying to me my whole life. Betraying me. Keeping everything important to me away." I said and shook my head. "You were supposed to be my father, my best friend... and I can't even stand to hear your pathetic excuses." I said and shook my head as I got back up.

I walked away and towards the doors before seeing Klaus lounging about just outside. He might have heard everything and I didn't care.

"I am letting them go." He told me when I passed him.

"I'll make sure they don't try to take me back to Mystic Falls." I said and he stated to follow me.

"I think you should come with me." He said and I looked at him again.

"Why?"

"You are angry. I have a way for you to vent." He let me know before using his finger to guide my chin up and showed me a car. "Get in."

"I hate cars." I mumbled as I walked towards it. He sent me a smirk and then got in himself. Somehow I knew I wouldn't like his driving.
