Once gone from her view Klaus let out a sigh, his mind was swarming with thoughts in regards to what she was, where she came from but most importantly the question of why he had taken her with him.

The next morning Antonia woke up in a bed, an extremely soft bed that she did not remember getting into. The plush sheets and comforter surrounded her like a cloud and Antonia nuzzled in refusing to get up as the sun shone through the curtains trying to drag her back into reality.

And just as Antonia was about to drift back into her slumber there was a knock on the door. "Pardon me ma'am he wants you up in half an hour dressed and down stairs to meet him for breakfast and if you don't get up now…" A maid said as she walked over to the bed pealing back the sheets of a very disgruntled Antonia. Sleepily she swung her legs over and off the side of the bed, sitting up rubbing her face.

Nodding to the maid but not before throwing a glare her way she headed for the bathroom stripping her clothes as she went. Once the hot water hit her skin Antonia felt like she had been renewed. "I laid out some clothes for you ma'am, he is expecting you in less than ten minutes do keep that in mind"

Finishing up in the shower Antonia wrapped herself in a towel and hopped out. Going back into the bedroom Antonia looked over the two outfit options the maid had laid out for her on the bed. One was a pale blue sweatshirt dress that had a couple of slashes across the shoulders and one lower down across the leg, paired with her black leather thigh high boots. The other was dark wash jeans and a white lace halter top and her leather jacket. Antonia was almost mad that they were so nicely styled. She figured that Klaus hadn't stored her clothes away with her bike as she remembered packing these clothes days before. Now if she could only get him to give back her journal that was in there…

Slipping into the first option Antonia threw her hair up in a messy bun and started for the door only to quickly turn back to the bathroom upon realizing she hadn't brushed her teeth. She brushed her teeth and made her way out of the room. She peered from behind the door unsure of how to get to the kitchen in this place.

Taking a minute to locate the stairs Antonia went down and started to wander until she found herself in a massive kitchen. The maid who had woke her was behind the counter preparing breakfast. Antonia quiz-idly took in the scene before her what appeared to be a feast before her. The maid noticed her standing there and quickly ushered her out onto the adjoining patio.

Klaus stood as she came out gesturing to the chair across from him. "Morning love I assume you slept well?" "Yes, thank you" Antonia said softly as she sat down in her seat. There was fresh orange juice, coffee, stacks of pancakes and sausage as well as fresh fruit on the table.

"Have at it" Klaus said as he picked up his coffee cup taking a sip, he could see Antonia was hungry, her eyes grew wide at the arrangement before them. Antonia watched him watch her as she started to fill her plate, "What's the plan for today?" she asked as she cut into her pancakes.

"Nothing to crazy, a few meetings with some witches and then we'll be going to collect what's mine, how does that sound?"

"That will be fine" Antonia said as she finished off her juice. The maid who was standing a respectful distance away came to the table pouring more into her glass. Anticipating her intentions Antonia placed her hand, covering the cup before the maid had a chance to refill it. Understanding the maid stepped back after receiving a sweet smile from Antonia which she returned.

After a few moments of silence Antonia asked what he meant by picking up what's his, "You'll see soon enough and forgive me for not saying this earlier but you look stunning love"

Antonia shifted in her seat as a blush came to her cheeks, pulling on her the hood's neckline "Thank you" she said as she looked up and saw his light blue-green eyes glimmering at her. Swallowing audibly Antonia spoke, "I'm ready when you are to leave, but I would like something"

"You're in no position to be making demands" Klaus said leaning across the table to her, "I was just wondering if we could possible um stop while we're out and get me some chapstick?"

"Chapstick?" Asked a perplexed Klaus, sitting back he chuckled, "I function as a human, my lips get dry" Antonia quickly spilled out bringing a hand up to her mouth biting on her nails. He chuckled as he dug his hand into his jacket pocket in the seat next to him producing a chapstick to which he extends to Antonia.

Not reaching for the chapstick, "Oh um thanks?" was all that Antonia could muster up as she shot Klaus a confused look as she hesitantly reached for the tube in his hand. As her fingers touched the chapstick his hand clasped hers encasing the chapstick between their palms, "Can't have those pouty lips be chapped in the meantime, can we?" Klaus pondered aloud before letting her hand go.

Getting his jacket Klaus stood yet again extending his hand to Antonia as she put the chapstick on. "Shall we?"

In the car

Antonia slid into the front seat only to be met with dark brown eyes sitting across from her in the driver seat. "Hi I'm Tony" the guy offered as she was taken back that Klaus was going to be using his driver today.

"Antonia" she replied back as Klaus hopped into the back, "Didn't want to join me back here love?" He smirked at her as he settled into the seat.

"Figured you'd be driving" she mumbled as she buckled her seat belt, "Oh please you still use seat buckles? It's not like you can die" Klaus teased as he reached in front unclicking her seat belt as she leaned back slightly wide eyed. Tony started the engine and they were off. Antonia starred out the window clutching into the door handle hoping that would save her if they got into an accident, she was too scared to re-buckled.

She could feel the arrogance at ruffling her feathers from Klaus as the car fell into silence as they approached the town center. Pulling up to a quaint little carpenter house Klaus hopped out and Antonia stilled unsure if she too was supposed to get out.

"Antonia do come along" Klaus said as he opened her door gesturing for her to get out. Slowly Antonia stepped out of the car, Klaus' calculating gaze on her was making her uncomfortable. Mentally shaking it off she started for the front door of the house with Klaus coming right along beside her.

Both of them stopped at the front door. Antonia glanced back at Tony who was still in the car. Turning back to Klaus she noticed him just starring at the door as if he was lost in thought.

"Klaus?" She asked waving a hand in front of his face. Antonia waited for him to respond but he was as if he just zoned out. "Sweet Jesus just" She said as she turned the knob opening the door to the house. Klaus pulled his gaze from the door looking at her before he pushed past her into the house. "Greta" He shouted into the house as he walked around into the living room.

A dark-skinned girl came down the stairs, "Klaus, getting impatient, are we?". "Not in the slightest, just double checking you're all set for tonight" She nodded as she too flopped down on her couch next to where Klaus had settled himself.

If Greta noticed Antonia she didn't say anything as she glared at Klaus. "I've upheld my end of this, tell me you have everything you need to complete the ritual, don't waste my time"

With a roll of his eyes Klaus looked at her as if saying 'of course I do who do you think I am?'

"Just checking" Greta said picking up a book on the table.

Antonia had stayed where she was only looking around with her eyes. Standing by a little side table she absent mindedly swiped a finger along its surface, scrunching her nose up at the dust that collected on her finger. 'This woman sure doesn't know how to keep a home' Antonia thought to herself. "Who's a girl" Greta asked causing Antonia's head to snap up.

"Just some girl I picked up"

"That's what you think" Greta's knowing voice said behind the book.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Klaus questioned bringing his hand up to push her book down to have her look at him.

"You can't feel it can you?" An eyebrow cocked up in surprise. Antonia started to sweat, how powerful was this witch? From the grimoire in her hand she had inferred she was a witch but not this type of powerful otherwise she would have insisted on staying in the car with Tony.

Looking at Antonia who was staring at her feet he questioned "Feel what?" Greta was taken back by her upper hand, "I'm just surprised you can't feel anything about her unless…" Greta's head snapped to Antonia "You haven't turned, have you?"

Both Greta and Klaus were standing at this point, Antonia eyed the door thinking through a plan of sprinting. She looked between Greta and Klaus. "How do you know?"

"Oh, honey we used to tell stories about you" the witch said as she took a few slow steps in the other girl's direction.

"Would someone tell me what the bloody hell is going on!" Klaus boomed, he was livid at being kept out of the loop and even more livid that he didn't know anything about this girl and apparently others did.

"You really don't know, much do you?" Sassed the witch as she spun to see his exasperated self. Clearly this witch had some serious serious power otherwise she wouldn't have felt comfortable sassing him like this.

Flashing to hold her by her throat Klaus' eyes bore into hers, "Tell. Me. What. You. Know." He gritted out.

"Let go of her!" Antonia said taking a step towards the pair. This witch despite how much she hated them this girl shouldn't have to pay the price for her secrets.

Letting go of her throat Klaus locked eyes with Antonia. "Then tell me what you're keeping from me"

"Fine"

"I swear if you don't-wait what?"

"I said fine"

"Okay", Klaus said skeptically, he didn't trust her to just come out with it so easily if she had been keeping it from him and somehow getting Katherine in on it. If Antonia and Katherine were trying to pull a fast one on him how did they get to one of his most trusted witches?

Antonia too took a moment to think, she didn't want to tell more this witch actually knew and expose herself more to Klaus but at this point it didn't seem like she had much of an option either. Stepping further into the living room Antonia leaned on the arm of the couch.

"I have the werewolf gene but I haven't killed anyone ever so I haven't triggered it" Antonia said as she looked up at him. She was planning on giving as little detail as possible and was praying for neither to push her further.

Greta didn't have much of a reaction as she stood with her arms crossed but Klaus knew there had to be more. "And" He growled.

Antonia swallowed, was she looking as nervous as she left? "I'm from the North East Atlantic pack"

Klaus didn't give much of react at that so Antonia decided to spell it out for him. "I'm from your pack", now that got a reaction.

"You're lying!" Klaus shouted, "You're right I'm lying. Can we go now?" Antonia remarked as she rolled her eyes.

"No, tell me the bloody truth before I grip your throat out!"

Greta had uncrossed her arms and her hands were planted on her hips but the witch kept quite as she gestured to Antonia to continue. "I was there the night when Mikael killed your real father" Antonia offered the exasperated Brit.

"You're lying!" and suddenly Klaus had her by her throat looming over her as she held her down by on the couch.

"I'm not lying" Antonia choked out as her hands stayed wrapped around his wrist on her throat. Greta gasped at the sudden movement backing up into the nearest wall, this was more than she was expecting.

"I promise you I'm not lying to you" Antonia tried again as her eyes started to water. Klaus pushed off of her and she shot up gasping for breath.

"You dick" the girl breathed out. Klaus shoved her back down onto her back with his hand standing up. Antonia wasn't going to be nice simply because he was her mate, that didn't give him a damn reason to man-handle her! "How did I not know about you?" He questioned towering over her on the couch.

"It's not that hard to stay hidden when no one's really looking for you" Shrugged the girl.

"Get out" Greta said as she found her voice, "I need time to get prepared for tonight, go deal with this somewhere else you're messing with my vibes and I can't work like this". She walked over to the door throwing it open indicating the two should leave.

"Fine, be ready for tonight" Klaus ordered grabbing Antonia's arm man-handling her yet again as he hauled her out of the house. Normally he would have killed someone for interrupting him like Greta had but he needed her for the ritual tonight. It had gotten considerably darker since they had gone in, and Tony was slumped in the front seat asleep.

The angry Brit threw open the doors startling the man awake as he immediately started the car and Klaus and Antonia finished getting in the backseat. "Where to?" he asked grudgingly.

"The Salvatore's but take the long way around Antonia and I have much to discuss" He said gripping her arm harder causing her to wince she could feel her bone started to begin to crush.

"Klaus you're hurting me" Antonia pleaded the pain evident in her voice, she would come back to life if she was killed but she had absolutely had no supernatural healing powers. He immediately loosed his grip snapping to her with concern in his eyes.

Klaus' eyes searched hers for pain but he was really searching his mind about why he even cared if she was hurt or not she would heal! The voice in his mind kept saying 'she's your pack, she's your family' and for some reason he wanted that.

"Are you really from my pack?"

"Yes, I'm not lying I promise. I knew your father, he was our Alpha"

"I uh You're Ah, really?" Klaus stuttered out, his eyes back to her facing trying to catch a glimpse of her lying. Somehow, she had caught Klaus off guard Antonia was pleased with herself.

"Yes" she said earnestly placing her hand on the hand he had on her arm. "Did he know about me?"

"He figured it out yes" She was slightly surprised but judging by what she knew of Esther that woman probably never told his father.

"We're here" Tony interrupted as he pulled the car to a stop.

"Stay in the car" He said as he jumped out heading towards a couple in front of a red car.

Antonia was happy her arm was out of his grasp but wanted to know what was happening. What was this ritual that Greta had talked about?

She could see Klaus talking to them but wasn't able to hear what was being said. She glanced at Tony who was watching, "What are they saying?" she asked desperate to know what was going on.

"He's collecting the doppelganger for the ritual" he said matter of factly, Antonia's heart sped up she had heard about the curse that his mother had put on him but didn't realize he was so close like hours close to breaking it. Her mind hadn't immediately jumped to the sun and the moon curse when Greta had spoken about it earlier simply because she thought the Petrova blood line ended with Katerina. Boy was she wrong.

Antonia could barely make out the shadows of the girl seemingly comforting the other man, could this get any more soap opera-y Antonia thought as she strained to keep watching the distance and the darkness making it hard to see clearly. And within a blink of an eye Klaus and the girl appeared next to Antonia in the car causing her to shriek in shock.

"Do calm down love" Klaus said from the opposite side of the car, the girl squished between them in the middle. The girl silently cried sitting between them and Antonia awkwardly turned to stare out the window. "So that's what Klaus meant when he said picking up what's mine" Antonia thought.

"Tony, Greta's if you would" and within a few minutes we were back at Greta's as the girl who hadn't stopped crying not even saying a word was dropped off to the witch who was standing on the porch looking even more pissed than she had only a little while earlier.

Antonia zoned out and suddenly Klaus was pulling her out of the car and back up into Alaric's apartment. "Tony you won't be needed any longer today" Klaus said as he slammed the door shut with one hand pulling Antonia along with the other.

Klaus opened the door with Antonia right on his heels. Katherine sat at the table looking bored as hell, "Where's Maddox? He should be back by now" Klaus asked as he went to sit down pulling out a computer. Katherine and Antonia shared a look conveying a million different things. With Klaus' back turned Antonia took a risk extending her hand to Katherine who took hers squeezing it a little before quickly dropping it.

"I don't know" answer Katherine as she watched Klaus. Antonia took a seat next to Katherine as she asked, "What are you doing?" No answer. This time Katherine asked repeating Antonia's question, "What are you doing?"

Still nothing, "Where's Elena?" Katherine asked. Antonia pieced more of the pieces together, "so the doppelganger is named Elena huh seems fitting for a cry baby" she thought to herself.

"Sent her off with Greta" Klaus said clicking away on his laptop as a groan came from the screen Klaus smiled "It's almost time" he stated with an iry excitement.

And out of nowhere the front door wacked open presenting a black-haired man in a leather jacket standing behind Klaus. Antonia suppressed a shriek again but not without a mumbled shit under her breath. She balled her fists up in her sleeves, the door was letting in a cold breeze but she didn't dare get up and close it.

Without looking behind, him Klaus commented, "I wasn't aware you had been invited in" Katherine stood up quickly nearly causing her chair to tumble back as she looking uncomfortable. "I've come here to tell you you have to postpone the ritual" the vampire stated.

"Didn't we already have this conversation?" Klaus said still unimpressed at this vampire's dramatic entrance and supposed command as he settled back into his chair. Antonia held her breath, this vampire was ballsy she'd give him that but with Klaus being this calm something bad was bound to happen. Antonia looked to Katherine but she was too engrossed in what was playing out in front of them to notice.

"Yeah but that was before I rescued your werewolf and vampire and killed your witch" the vampire said, even without seeing his face Antonia could tell this vampire was crazy. And with that Klaus spun up and out of his chair coming face to face with the vampire, "Excuse me?"

"And you can kill me for it but I don't care. It was all me"

"Death wish much?" Antonia commented before she could stop herself and Katherine turned to her smacking the back of her head. "Shut it" she said leaving Antonia to rub her head as a dull ache started. Thankfully neither the vampire or Klaus took notice of what she had said as they continued their standoff.

"Antonia, Katerina give us a moment" Klaus said still locked eyed with the vampire. The vampire however turned and watched the girls get up and walk into the bedroom. As the vampire's eyes fell on Antonia she stopped dead in her tracks.

"Now Antonia" Klaus ordered noticing she stopped, Katherine reached for her arm pulling her along closing the bedroom door after them.

Once the door was closed Katherine started pacing, as Antonia plopped down on the bed pulling out the chapstick putting it on.

"Where did you get that?" Katherine asked as she eyed Antonia, "Klaus" she said as Katherine made a disgusted face before turning back putting her ear to the door to listen.

At this point Antonia wanted to know what was being said but was too tired to get back up but was standing as soon as she heard a heavy thud come from the next room.

"Ladies you can come out" he heard Klaus shout, the girls slowly opened the door met with the sight of the vampire laying "dead" on the floor.

"Katherine, I need you to make a call"

"To who?"

"Aunt Jenna, it appears I will be needing another vampire, tell her you need to meet her" Klaus compelled as he handed her his phone.

A few minutes later

Klaus had left to go complete the ritual and Katherine was busy trying to feed this knocked out vampire a blood bag. "So, this is the Damon you've been pining about for decades? I thought he'd be hotter and a little less crazy. Why don't you I don't know smack him to wake him up?" Antonia commented as she picked at her nails from the couch. Katherine had been trying to wake him for the past five minutes and she was tired of it. Antonia would have helped but had no desire to be so close to such an obviously crazed vampire when he woke up and didn't want to interfere with Klaus' plan in any way.

"Oh, stuff it" Katherine snapped before turning back to the vampire, "Hey Damon, Hey" she said slapping him a little taking Antonia's advice.

As Katherine delivered a harder slap Damon started to come to, "What happened?" He asked sitting up.

"He's gone. He went to go do the ritual. I'm sorry" Katherine said sitting back on her heels. "I had to. He would have known I was on vervain if I didn't do it"

"Do what?" questioned Damon as he rubbed his head, "Klaus he made me call her to lure her out, he needed another vampire"

"Who'd you call?"

Katherine fell silent, it was clear she was feeling guilty she was always big on family, it's all she ever wanted all she ever wanted back. Damon grabbed her arm, "Who'd you call Katherine!"

"Aunt Jenna" Antonia pipped up from the couch, she wasn't about to let Damon hurt Katherine and besides she had no skin in this.

"Should have used me" Damon muttered as he started to stand, "Why didn't he use me!"

"He couldn't, he said you were as good as dead" Katherine said standing with him, the concern and love she felt for him still evident in her eyes or at least it was to Antonia.

"What does that even mean?" Damon asked baffled, "What does it even mean Damon? What is this?" She remarked as she pushed up his sleeve exposing the bite. Antonia chuckled from the couch, she herself had seen many a werewolf bites in her day but Katherine this must have been her first.

"It's a werewolf bite" Damon stated as he shook his head, Katherine looked as if she was about to tear up. She felt for her friend but if this was the smart, handsome man that she had pining over for decades she seriously needed to reconsider in Antonia's opinion.
