Antonia woke with another slam to the head as the SUV made a sharp turn as she slid into the car door once again. It was bright, had she fallen asleep? Groaning she sat up and was faced with a smirking Klaus in the rear-view mirror. "Look who finally decided to wake up" he said grinning at her in the mirror. Stefan was sitting shot gun and looked like he could use some sleep, he looked miserable.

The sun was beating down through the window making Antonia squint, "What's going on?" She asked coughing. Her throat was so dry she could barely make out a word without sounding like an old woman on her death bed. Antonia felt like an old lady on her death bed. "Can I get some water? Please?"

Klaus took a water bottle from the center console and reached back handing it to her, "Only because you asked so nicely" He said turning his head to glance back at her. There was mischief in his eyes.

"Thanks" She said before twisting the cap off and taking a big swig. After getting her fill she sat back in the seat watching the scenery pass by. "So?..."

"What?"

"I asked a question"

"And that was what?"

"What's going on?"

"Road trip duh" Stefan pipped up sarcastically. Klaus threw him a glare, "Oh please Ripper do lighten up and embrace what you truly are we don't need you pouting"

Turning his attention back to Antonia Klaus continued, "We're going to find some werewolves to make into Hybrids" Antonia gulped, "don't worry sweetheart you're fine" It was as if he could sense her fear, but Klaus wasn't about to take away her choice he didn't want to risk it not working on her.

"Oh" was all she could come up with as a response. She didn't think about him turning werewolves into Hybrids. She wondered what it would be like, hell what it would even be like to be a true werewolf. Would Antonia want to be one? If it worked would she turn? Would Klaus make her?

They drove in silence for a long time as the sun started to set and the air started to cool down just a tad. Antonia had rolled down her window and let the cool air hit her face as she watched the trees flash past. They had to be going nearly 80 miles an hour and deep in the woods somewhere as the air smelled of true outdoors. Antonia loved the outdoors, it reminded her of her family, as a child she would spend hours climbing trees, swimming and just lying in the fields feeling the sun on her skin. One summer she layed in the sun so much her hair had turned a golden hue and her freckles began to take over her entire face. She hadn't done that in so long and a part of her felt sad as she looked out the window lost in her memories, as time had passed and the world advanced she found herself stuck to technology and spending less time outside.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Klaus asked. "Just wondering where exactly we are going" she replied.

"You'll see"

Hours past and they continued to drive in silence. It was a nice change for Antonia but also it was driving her mad. "Are we going to stop sometime soon?"

Klaus ignored her. "Hello? Human here, I have needs!" She said matter of factly hoping he would realize she needed food and a bathroom break if this road tripping was ever going to work. They must have been out of Mystic Falls for some time now as they just passed a Welcome to Georgia sign.

"We're in Georgia!" she exclaimed, Antonia hadn't been this far south since the 1600s.

"Good observational skills love"

"Oh, so now you care to respond! Can we please stop sometime soon please" she begged, she felt disgusting, the weather was starting to warm up and she could only imagine the sight she was.

"Fine"

A couple minutes later they pulled off into a Best Western and they all hopped out. Antonia's bare feet hit the cold dirty pavement she sucked in a breath. "Stefan go get us a room, two beds" Klaus said as he went to his pockets pulling out a couple hundred placing them in Stefan's hands.

Antonia looked around, the hotel looked decent, not dirty she was thankful he hadn't picked some cheap motel that charges by the hour. A few minutes passes and Stefan came back out of the office with two keys, "Room 139" he said and the three went off in search of the room.

Klaus opened the door and Antonia immediately flopped down on one of the fluffy white beds. She let out a sigh before rolling over to sit up, "Can I shower?"

"Have at it" Klaus answered. The men stood as she flew off the bed and into the bathroom as the shower turned on.

In the shower Antonia let the water spray down on her, god did she love showers. She scrubbed away the dirt and sweat from being in a car for so long. She took the courtesy shampoo and conditioner giving her hair a good cleaning. Realizing she had no clean clothes and that she would have to get back into her dirty ones she groaned aloud.

Realizing she was naked with Klaus and Stefan with only a thin wall separating them Antonia quickly finished showering and hopped out wrapping herself in a fresh towel. The bathroom is filled with steam and just as she is about to unwrap and start getting dressed there is a knock on the door.

"Yes?"

And the door slowly opens, "Thought you'd like a fresh outfit" Klaus says as he holds out clothing to her. Holding her towel tight she reaches for the clothes. "Take your time sweetheart" He says, his eyes never leave hers, not even for a second which she is thankful for. Antonia wasn't really in the mood to be ogled. He leaves before she can say thank you softly shutting the door after himself.

She looks at the clothes be brought her, plain black leggings, a pink cropped camisole and a black hoodie. Pleasantly and a little creeped out that he knew her size but figured it was from having gone through her bag earlier she slipped into the fresh clothes. Finishing up she washed her face and threw her hair up into a loose bun.

She looked up into the foggy mirror, her mind went to Katherine. Being back in another hotel brought her back to when she was on her way to find her side kick. It felt like forever ago. Sighing she picked up her other clothes folding them she looked at them, she decided to just throw them away. With the swoosh of the clothes in the trash she turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Klaus looked up from his spot on the bed, his eyes racked over her figure. The leggings hugged her like they were a second skin and the pink shirt's slight V gave him just the hint of cleavage. He shamelessly checked her out, it had taken everything in him not to while she was in the towel not moments before.

"Thank you for this" she said breaking him from his trance pulling on her shirt in gesture. "Anytime love after all you are part of my pack"

"Were" she corrected.

"Were?"

"There's none of us left, there is no North East Atlantic pack anymore we all died"

"Yet here you are"

"Yes, but I never turned… its complicated" she hesitantly said looking around the room, "Where's Stefan?"

"Since he was so good about your clothes I let him go find himself dinner" he said with a wiggle of his brows. Antonia hummed in response, so it was Stefan that picked out her outfit.

"I don't know if he did such a good job because I still have no shoes or socks…." She mumbled sitting down on the same bed at Klaus on the edge facing away from him.

"Right here sweetheart" she heard him pat the bed behind her. Turning she noticed pink converse with little white ankle socks. "Thank God I thought I was going to have to bare foot it!" She said pulling them towards her.

"What are you doing?"

She stopped putting her socks on confused, "What do you mean? I'm putting on shoes aren't we leaving?"

"I figured you'd want some rest, we're staying here for the night. You can sleep in an actual bed instead of the car if you want" He said looking back to his phone.

"Oh, okay great" Antonia said slipping on her other sock. She went over to the other bed flopping down onto it like she had done earlier.

Antonia was too scared to ask to turn off the lights so she just closed her eyes and soon enough she found herself drifting off into slumber.

Rustling woke Antonia up, she opens her eyes to the left and noticed Stefan on the other bed knocked out and then turned to the right to see Klaus sitting at the little table sketching. "Aren't you going to sleep?" she asked in a whisper.

Klaus looked up from the paper meeting her gaze, "I do apologize if I woke you my dear, and no I don't fancy sharing a bed with Stefan"

"Oh" her gaze fell, and silence filled the air for a moment, "you can share with me if you want" she kept her gaze on the pillow next to her for longer before looking back at the hybrid.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I just don't want you to be grumpy tomorrow with no sleep" she justified, must have been able to tell her anxiety as her heart beat pounded faster and faster away in her chest. Klaus set down his sketch book and took the few steps over to the bed laying down next to her on top of the covers.

"Don't worry love I'll be the perfect gentlemen" Antonia could feel the bed shift under his weight.

"Okay" Antonia said softly, "Well goodnight Klaus"

"Goodnight sweetheart" She turned her head fluffing her pillow and closed her eyes tight willing herself back to sleep.
