When I woke up, there was a cold breeze blowing through, then I groaned quietly, sitting up and blinking up at the sky- it was sunset, and had been for quite a while.

I looked down and saw my bare form, then I heard a voice.

"Now that, is the best thing I've seen in a few hundred years."

I flinched now, wishing I had something to cover myself up with as Klaus stared at me with a look in his eyes that suited an animal... but then again, he was an animal. We were both animals.

I stood up now, covering myself, then Klaus held out a dress. "Want this?"

"Give me that you bastard!" I hissed, reaching, but he grinned, yanking it away. "A kiss first thank you. Or-" he looked down at my body and I snarled, grabbing the dress from him and yanking it on, shaking the leaves from my white blonde hair. Klaus took my face in his hands once more, then said softly. "Look at that pretty little face..." I yanked away and he sighed.

"I know you're angry-" but I'd already hit him in the face and to my surprise, he went smashing into the nearest tree where he groaned, sat on the roots. "Yes, I think I deserved that-" then he choked as I pinned him against the tree by his throat. "Let me go, and I'll tell you ever- everything-" he was coughing by the end, and I let him drop, turning away.

Had I turned to a wolf the previous night-? God... I was a hybrid-?

"My head hurts..." I whimpered now, raising a shaking hand to it, and I felt Klaus pull me into his arms. I should have pushed him away, to try to kill him... but I just couldn't find it in my heart to hate him.

"I'll help you, I promise." he said into my hair and I felt tears in my eyes. "Just... why did you do this to me-? I don't want to be a hybrid... a werewolf, or a vampire. Just... why."

"I guess I get lonely sometimes." he said quietly now, and I could sense he was telling the truth. "And I need someone I can trust."

"Huh. Well I don't trust you."

"We have forever to work on that." he chuckled bitterly and I growled, pulling away. "Why the hell would you take that choice away from me-!"

"Antonia-" I slapped him again, and he sighed. "Fine, I'm sorry. Now stop hitting me."

I was silent, then said quietly. "I'm hungry."

"Come with me-" he held out his hand now, and I hesitated, but then took it. If I was going to survive... my best bet was with him.

We walked through the darkness now, and I could hear... smell everything around me, and it was daunting for a start, but then I started to get used to it and... I liked it.

There was a smaller town nearby in the woods, and Klaus said quietly. "Watch, ok?" he stepped forwards now and vanished. A moment later, I heard screaming, then a scent on the air hit me and made my mouth water, and I felt myself walk forwards, then in the town square, there was a figure with arms clamped around another one, ripping into his neck.

He looked up now, and I wondered if my eyes were as golden as his right now. Klaus nodded for me to come over, and I did, walking over with the smell leading me, calling me in like some kind of siren song.

"Here-" he said now, offering me the man he'd bitten into, and I needed no encouragement to bite into him, a snarl escaping me that was neither wolf nor vampire... but a mixture of both.

So violent and untamed... like him.

I let the drained body drop now, then Klaus took my face in his hands like he always did and said softly. "Are you staying, or going?"

There was a silence, then I leaned forwards and kissed him passionately for a minuet or two, then say quietly. "I don't have a choice, do I?"

"No my love." he smirked, then kissed me for a second, then said quietly. "Come-" he offered me his hand and gave me that grin. "Dinner Miss. D'angelo?"

I took it and smiled. "Thank you very much bad, bad sir."

Maybe I could live with being a hybrid after all?

Three Months Later...

Klaus was a very good teacher and lover... and as the months went by, my humanity started to go too. I was becoming like him.

And I'd very nearly forgotten Elijah, the man who had truly taught me how to love someone... would I ever meet him again-? Would my feelings for him ever rise up if I met him again-?

I understood now why Klaus was so obsessive of me since day one- I had the hybrid gene... and so did he. We were the only two hybrids in the whole world, and that amounted to something. Especially when it came to the bond that was becoming unbreakable. We were a wolf pack of our own, the alpha male and female.

Huh. Guess that animal attraction thing was real after all, and that was what had lured Klaus to me in the first place-

He'd sensed me... and wanted me.

Our relationship was a different story- we may have an unbreakable bond as a pair of wolves, but as vampires... human form, the attraction was there, but I wasn't sure whether or not to pursue my feelings for him... it would probably get me killed.

Klaus was dozing on a chair on the top steps of the mansion in Wisconsin we were staying at, and I asked. "Where did you put my glass?"

He just chuckled, then said without opening his eyes. "I drank it."

I scoffed. "You bastard." He opened his eyes now, then looked to me, that longish hair of his blowing in the light wind. "Come here." he just said now, patting to the step before him, and I sighed, walking over and sitting before him, feeling him shift closer so his chest was touching my back.

"Forgive me?" he just asked softly now, moving the hair from my right shoulder and I felt lips on the side of my neck, but no fangs for once. I closed my eyes for a moment, then mumbled. "Maybe."

There was that connection between us both though, and I couldn't deny that. That attraction was growing stronger everyday, and one of these days, I wasn't going to be able to stop myself. We were hybrids, made for each other... it was hard to keep nature away.

I did wonder if Klaus himself was fighting that feeling too, but from the way he was at my neck, and the soft kisses there went up to my jaw, I knew he wasn't. He wanted me whether or not I wanted him.

With that, I stood up and walked forwards, probably pissing him off that I'd pulled away so soon.

But I was having my own back tonight.

We didn't sleep in the same bed, for I imposed that rule rather quickly- I'd had enough of him trying to seduce my body and infiltrate my mind.

And speaking of minds and dreams...

I could barely stop myself from smirking as I heard Klaus wake with a start from his worst nightmare; getting cursed so many years ago. It wasn't that hard to figure out, and once I'd tapped into his head, I had it replayed every single night. I sniggered now and he just said, knowing I'd hear from the room five doors away.

"You are getting rather good at this."

"Of course. What were you expecting?" I smirked now, and he no doubt rolled his eyes and pulled the covers over his head. I was growing rather powerful now... powerful enough to put nightmares into his own head of my own creation.

Ah, the sweet sound of revenge when he woke up like that.

We were heading to South Dakota now, and Klaus wanted to meet this witch. He wanted to break his curse more than ever now he'd seen me turn into one. His obsession was growing... and that made him evermore dangerous.

The entire next day we spent traveling on our horses, racing each other the entire way. When we reached our destination in a little town, it was raining, but Klaus still made me stay out in the weather as we searched for the witch.

Just how did he know this witch?

Huh. I should have guessed.

In the middle of the forest it seemed, we came across a mansion and Klaus grinned, walking up to the door and banging on it three times with his fist. There was silence now, except for the rainfall that was still pouring outside the porch.

The door opened now, and the witch, I could sense it that she was that witch, went to close the door in Klaus's face, but he grabbed it and went. "Ah-ah. Now Brianna, why would you do that?"

The witch opened the door fully now, then glared at Klaus. She was pretty with long fire red hair and deep amber eyes it seemed. She was crackling with a power that wanted to let loose at Klaus... I could feel it.

"You're not welcome here Niklaus." she snapped now, folding her arms, but Klaus smirked then said, stepping inside and just said in her ear. "Then you shouldn't have invited me in all those years ago."

The witch Brianna looked at him sourly, then Klaus said. "Invite my friend in please." she looked to me now, then back at Klaus, weighing up her options, but then gave in and invited me inside.

Klaus kissed her cheek now and she growled, yanking away. She wasn't overkeen on him anyway.

"So..." that same hybrid said now, sitting down on the red velvet covered chair in the drawing room, staring up at Brianna. "How had the search been coming?"

Brianna was quiet, then she just said. "I didn't loo-" but she didn't finish as Klaus flashed to stand before her, eyes narrowed. "Excuse me? Could you please repeat that?"

"No Klaus. You're an abomination. I refuse to help anymor-"

I stood in silence, watching as he slammed her into the wall, holding her a distance from the floor by a hand on her neck. "Brianna. We've had good times together... don't ruin it." he just said now, letting her down and kissing her hungrily. I felt a bitter taste appear in my mouth- they were old flames, and Klaus was playing with fire with trying to control a witch without using compulsion.

Brianna had tears in her eyes when he let her go, then shook her head. "I don't want to do this anymore... Please don't make me do this."

Klaus rolled his eyes now, then went to her vervain filled necklace and yanked it off, grabbing her face in his hands as she went to fight or run. "Now... I want you to do exactly what I told you to do three years ago. You think you could do that?"

"Yes." Brianna said, and I growled in my mind as he bent down and placed another kiss on her lips. If he was trying to make me feel jealous... it was working.

Klaus turned back to me now, then gestured to Brianna. "This is Brianna Evans. Her bloodline goes all the way back to the witches that cursed me."

I frowned at that. "Why do you need her?"

"Because-" he walked over and took my hands, a light smirk on his face. "I'm looking for a moonstone that was stolen from me, and her family, her ancestors were the ones to provide it for the ritual. They can find it because of the link between their powers and my curse."

"Can she find it?" I asked him now, and he turned to Brianna and relayed the question. She just said. "No. The bloodline cannot pick up its trace anymore. It faded away over fifty years ago with my mother."

"And your mother is where?"

"Dead. A man from your family killed her when he heard about they moonstone connection."

Klaus looked immensely sour at that, then turned to me and said. "Make yourself comfortable. I'll just be here..." that smirk appeared again. "Interrogating her." then he bit into her neck and I sighed, walking out-

Was I going to end up like Brianna-? Loved... used, one moment, then lunch the next?

Staying around Klaus was dangerous...

And the next:) cheers for the lovely reviews and more much loved^_^ x
