I watched on angrily as Dwayne, Tyler's hybrid friend came through the door.

"You ready for this?" Tyler asked Dwayne.

He nodded.

"Let's do this."

I narrowed my eyes at the two unnerved. Tyler went over towards a bag that he had brought it, curiosity had the better of me before my eyes widened in fear as Tyler pulled out a large syringe.

"What are you doing?" My brown eyes peered into Tyler's own. "What the hell Tyler!"

Dwayne sped over to me, forcing me down and I pushed against him. Tyler made his way over, and crouched in front of me.

"No, Tyler." I winced as I struggled against Dwayne and my bonds.

"Don't do this, please." I whimpered.

His cold eyes stared at me. "Klaus destroyed everything good in my life! So, I'm gonna take the thing he wants most!"

I cried at his words. "And what about me, huh? You think I did this on purpose! I've been there for you Tyler, always!"

Tyler scoffed and shook his head. "I lost you as my friend the minute you sided with Klaus."

Tyler jammed the syringe into my abdomen where my small but visible baby bump was and I screamed at the stinging sensation and I watched fearfully as he drew out my blood. I nearly sighed in relief as he removed it, but Tyler stuck the syringe into Dwayne's neck and snapped his neck.

I gasped in shock as Dwayne's body hit the floor. Tyler lifted Dwayne by the ankle, dragging him over to the side of the room and I glared at him.

"Don't get all jugdey. Dwayne knew what he was getting into. He volunteered."

I exhaled. "What? For you to kill him?"

"Dwayne is a werewolf who died with your blood in his system. The same blood you share with your hybrid baby."

I narrowed my eyes at him. " You're trying to turn him into a hybrid? That's impossible."

"I've been running with wolf packs all over the country. One of them was tight with a witch. She had nightmare visions about your baby and how Klaus could use its blood to make an army of hybrid slaves." Tyler replied.

I growled lowly at the hybrid. "I am sick and tired of witches having premonitions about my baby. It's just a baby!"

Tyler shrugged."Maybe. Maybe not. That's where Dwayne comes in. You see, he was happy to be the test case. If you haven't noticed, these people don't have much to live for. They'd all welcome the chance to become the superior species. Trouble is, all hybrids are sired to Klaus. They follow his every move."

He grabbed a knife from his bag and placed it on the table and I watched on warily.

"No way I let that happen."

"How can you be so sure that Klaus knows what the baby's blood will do?" I asked.

Tyler scoffed. "What do you think? You know him better than anyone. Klaus Mikaelson, killer of men, women and puppies, all of a sudden wants to be a daddy? Or, he's got an ulterior motive. Hybrids can walk in the sun. Their bite is lethal to vampires. They'll take over New Orleans by the end of the week. And you know what's going to stop Klaus then? Nothing."

I was just about to say something but Dwayne's gasp stopped me and Tyler turned to Dwayne.

"You're gonna have to drink from here."

My eyes shot to Tyler's fast movement, as he picked up the knife, making his way towards me.

"Tyler stop please!" I screamed in agony as he sliced open the side of my neck.

"Do it." Tyler commanded.

I knew the thirst for blood better than anyone and knew it was impossible to resist it. I cried out as Dwayne fed from me, I felt him grab my arm pulling me closer. I knew from Klaus that sometimes even he had a hard time resisting my blood but I thought that was because of the kind of relationship we have. I thought Dwayne was going to drain me but he reluctantly pulled away from me.

He writhed on the floor in pain and Tyler dragged him outside the shack. I took the distraction to try and grab the knife that he had left on the floor. I strained trying to reach it, making sure to stay cautious of Tyler outside.

Instead I noticed a broken chair leg that Dwayne must've broken with his convulsing, I grabbed it, hiding it behind my back as the Tyler came back inside.

"It worked didn't it." It was more of a statement than a question.

"If you stay with Klaus, if he gets a hold of that kid? He wins." He replied.

"Then I'll run from him if I have to. I've hidden for nearly nine hundred years!" Tyler grabbed the bloody knife that was on the floor. "Just don't do this Tyler."

"Let me go and I'll leave! I have nothing tying me here!" I pleaded with him.

Tyler shook his head.

"He'll find you, he'll take your kid away, and he'll make more hybrid monsters. Slaves who do everything he says. "

I felt my heartbeat increase as he inched closer to me. I was running out of options.

"Tyler, whatever you're thinking of doing, there has to be another way. You're not like this!"

He shook his head again, but this time he got close enough for me to stab him in the gut with the chair leg I had hidden.

Tyler groaned in pain as he pulled the bloody stake out.

"Well that was stupid." He said through gritted teeth.

I widened my eyes as Dwayne came rushing in as Tyler began to get up.

"Get away from her!"

"What do you care?"

"I said get away!" Dwayne stood in front of me protectively as Tyler glared at him.

"You got what you wanted now get lost." He growled.

It was as if a light bulb went of inside my head and I turned to Dwayne pleading.

"Dwayne, he's gonna kill me! And he's gonna kill you, too! He said that hybrids are too dangerous to live! You need to stop him"

"Shut up!" Tyler sneered.

Dwayne grabbed Tyler and tossed him across the room, before Tyler could manage to get up Dwayne sped towards him, tackling him to the floor.

I saw a glint from the corner of my eyes and reached for the knife Tyler must've dropped, freeing myself from the bonds he tied me up in. During his distraction I ran out the shack, knowing that Dwayne will be dead soon, I sprinted as fast I could, but I did hear the roar Tyler sent me, knowing that I had escaped.

I nearly doubled over as I ran out of breath, I placed my hand that held the knife on the tree and I breathed in deeply but froze as I heard a branch snap. I hid behind the tree, gripping the knife tightly, I threw myself at my attacker, knife above my head but my arm arm was grabbed.

I gasped in relief as a smiling Elijah stood in front of me.

"Forgive me, I thought you were in danger. It appears I was mistaken."

I sighed in relief and propelled myself straight at him, my arms wounding round his neck in relief.

"That makes two crazy revenge fuelled hybrids I've had to deal with in my lifetime."

Elijah smiled at my joke. "I'll take you home."

"Where's Klaus?"

"He's...hunting." Elijah replied.

I nodded. "Good. Because if he doesn't kill Tyler Lockwood then I sure as hell will."

"Why did he keep you hostage?" Elijah queered and I sighed.

"There's something you should know...about the baby."

…..

I bit my bottom lip anxiously as I had explained the situation to Elijah.

"I can't believe Klaus would know about this Elijah. He is many things but he would not do this to create more hybrids." I glanced at Elijah's worried gaze but he looked away troubled. "But, the way Dwayne was acting, it was more like he was sired to me."

There was a deathly silence before Elijah spoke.

"I should take you home."

"Home to what Elijah?" I whispered defeated.

"Look, regardless of Niklaus' intentions, mine remain the same. I said that I would protect you, even, if need be, from Klaus himself. "

I gave him a stern glare. "Klaus would never hurt me."

"Not physically Alexandra." Elijah stated and he was more than right. There have been many times where Klaus' had emotionally hurt me. Nothing to stop me from loving him though.

I glared at the Original. "I can take care of myself. I've had a thousand years of practise." I stormed off away from Elijah as I processed his words.

….

Elijah and I walked back to the shack and I smiled as I noticed Klaus' figure.

"Klaus."

He turned at the sound of my voice and I threw myself towards him, I suppose similarly to Elijah, I wrapped my hands around his neck, only this time it was much more intimate, I closed my eyes, one of my hands delved into his locks and I breathed in deeply and I felt Klaus respond. He inhaled my scent and wrapped his arms around me tightly.

Klaus pulled me away from his grasp as he smelled my blood, wrapping his hand in my hair, he tugged it to the side and snarled lowly as he noticed red on my neck. He looked deep into my eyes.

"Did he hurt you?"

I shook my head and in return he kissed my head passionately, before turning to go back into the shack, dragging out Dwayne's dead body and I inwardly winced as the conversation we were about to have felt as if it were going to go terribly wrong.

"This body appears to be a hybrid"

I sighed. "His name was Dwayne."

"Well, whoever it was, I didn't sire him. Any idea how that's possible?" He asked, peering at me, and I felt my stress levels increase as I prepared myself.

"Klaus...we need to talk." I stepped closer to him but Elijah sped in front of me and I gasped at his speed. "Elijah!"

Klaus' eyes darkened and his posture stiffened.

"Tyler Lockwood brought Alexandra here to test a theory." Elijah began and Klaus nodded at him to continue. "That the blood of her child could be used to sire hybrids. He claims that you knew that. Furthermore, that you intended to use this knowledge to build an army."

I stood behind Elijah, almost begging Klaus with my eyes not to do anything stupid.

"And, of course, you assume it's true. I mean, why else would I show interest in my own flesh and blood?" Klaus sneered. " A heartbroken little crybaby points his finger at me, and my own brother falls in line, eager to believe it! How quickly you believe the worst, especially when it comes from her."

I stepped back in shock.

"Klaus." I whispered, shocked that he had spoken about myself in that way.

Elijah squared up to Klaus.

"Oh, spare me your indignation. When have you ever demonstrated any kind of concern towards Alexandra or her child, beyond your own selfish pursuits? And what was it you once said to me?"

Elijah imitated Klaus. "Every king needs an heir!"

Klaus paused and narrowed his eyes at Elijah.

"My big brother. So, you doubt my intentions? Well, I can't say I'm surprised, standing next to the noble Elijah, how can I be anything but the lesser brother? A liar, a manipulator, a bastard. "

Elijah stepped back at his brothers words, regretting his decision to be so harsh.

"That's all I am to the two of you, isn't it? And Rebekah. No doubt my child will as well. " Klaus continued.

"How dare you!" I cried and the two glanced at me.

"How many times have I been there for you? How many times have you killed, tortured people...and how many times have I told you I still love you, Klaus. Why would you ever think that I would tell our child anything other than what is true." I felt tears beginning to fall from my eyes.

"Then why are you siding with him! Why would you tell him that I want to sacrifice our child's safety for hybrids when I already have a family that I love." Klaus' voice cracked.

"Brother, she-"

"You've said all that needs to be said, brother." Klaus stepped back and held his arms out in defeat. " I'll play the role I've been given. "

I stepped towards him as he began to turn away. "Klaus-" I gasped as Klaus blurred over to Elijah, sinking his hybrid fangs into his neck.

I screamed in horror at Klaus' actions and watched as Elijah's unconscious body dropped to the ground. I ran over to Elijah and checked on him to make sure he was ok. After feeling for his pulse, I jumped up and ran over towards Klaus punching him as hard as I could on his chest repeatedly.

"Why would you do that to your own brother!" I cried.

Klaus grabbed my hands and forced them to my side.

"I was turning myself into the monster you believe I am."

I stared at him with a crazed look.

"I don't think you're a monster Klaus. This." I said pointing towards Elijah. "This is what makes you a monster. Turning your back on your family."

"He's turned his back on me many times, and you have sided with him! The one person I thought understood me in a way my siblings do not." Klaus yelled.

I almost laughed at his words.

"Elijah and Rebekah have always come back to you because you're their brother. And I have not sided with him! I had to tell him, but I did not believe a word Tyler Lockwood said."

Klaus stayed silent and I backed away from him, tears welling up in my eyes.

"But maybe you've just proved me wrong."

I turned my back on Klaus to turn towards Elijah, kneeling down and peering at his bloody neck.

"Alexandra-"

"No!" I turned my tearful eyes to Klaus. "You've done enough. Just leave." I turned back to Elijah, because I couldn't peer into his broken soul, but I felt the breeze whip past me as he blurred out of sight and a sob made its way out of my mouth and I held my hand against my lips to keep quiet.

…..

I whirled round as Elijah came to and I rushed over to him.

"Elijah!"

Elijah held the arms I had round his chest sitting him up on the bed that I had managed to drag him onto.

"Alexandra."

"I'm here, are you ok?" I pulled his head to the side, observing the bite mark on his neck.

Elijah swallowed before he spoke. "The bite won't kill me. Like Niklaus himself, it's more of a nuisance than anything."

I let go of him and sat down on the end of the bed.

"What are you looking for?" He asked and I looked at him confused before he nodded to the boxes I was looking through before he woke up.

"Oh, Tyler mentioned how Grace and I are descendants from the crescent wolf clan, which is why I have that birthmark on my shoulder. And that this." I motioned to outside. "Is all that's left of them. But I know Grace was looking for our family so I've been snooping."

I got up, back to a few pictures I was going through.

"Let me help." Elijah replied.

"Elijah-"

"You said the people of this village are the only family Grace and yourself have left. I can relate."

"You're thinking about Klaus." I glanced down, refusing to meet his gaze and Elijah sighed in response.

"Perhaps I was too willing to condemn him. In the thousand years that we have been together, my brother has committed numerous unspeakable acts. But, then again, so has Rebekah, so have you. So have I."

I glanced back up at him, only to find him staring at straight at me and I looked away awkwardly.

"I need some air."

I put the pictures down and walked out the door, breathing in the fresh air. I glanced round, but paused as I noticed a book in the corner that wasn't there before.

I picked it up warily.

"Somebody left this." I spoke as I heard Elijah come outside.

"What is it?" Elijah asked.

I flicked through the pages and a torn page fell out and I picked it back up, opened it and gasped as I read it.

Alexandra Miracolo 5th December 992 turned 2011 by the hybrid.

I passed it the note over to Elijah before flicking through the other pages but stopped when I noticed another date.

Selene Labonair June 6th 1991.

"What are these names? Who is Selene? Do you know her?" Elijah said.

I shook my head.

"No, but I know that date. It's Grace's birthday."
