I'm finally back. Expect some updates in the next week or so… I'll try to write as much as I can.

Sorry for basically dropping off the grid but I had a lot of things happening. Finals, having to do a project along with writing a paper about it (which still isn't finished)… Anyway, I'm back and this is the first story that I update.

Enjoy,

Nick

"Leave him alone," I heard the Doppelgänger demand when I appeared in the place where I could feel Niklaus. Elijah's signature was nowhere to be found… I wasn't quite sure I liked where this was going.

Nik rolled his eyes "I'm going to make this very simple… Every time I attempt to turn a werewolf into a vampire hybrid, they die during the transition. It's quite horrible, actually." He bites into his wrist, making Tyler drink his blood "I need you to find a way to save my hybrids, Bonnie. And for Tyler's sake… You better hurry." Niklaus twisted the werewolf's neck, killing him in a very clean fashion. At least he didn't get blood everywhere I guess.

It was then that I decided to make my presence known. I clapped slowly, stepping out of the shadows "Hello again, Nik. You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Elijah not answering his phone, would you?"

The Hybrid whirled around "Sama. So nice to see you again."

"Don't give me that shit," I rolled my eyes "I take a break from the fucking apocalypse to see Elijah only to find out that you put him in a box?"

Rebekah chuckled next to her brother, looking at me with curiosity "I'm Rebekah. You're Elijah's girlfriend? Nik told me about you."

"Nice to meet you," I smiled lightly "I would love to exchange stories. Trust me, I got some good ones but I believe I have a dog to kill right now."

The blonde snorted at Nik's pleading look "By all means, go ahead."

"Bekah," the Hybrid yelped, dodging my hands "Is that any way to treat your favourite brother?"

"Don't be a baby, Nik. I doubt she's actually going to kill you."

The Hybrid groaned pitifully "You haven't seen what that brother of hers did to her living room. He fixed it with the snap of his fingers."

While they were arguing quietly, I looked around the gym for the first time since I arrived. Elena and Bonnie seemed to try and find a way to get out of this situation. Matt was kneeling next to the body, while two other teenagers were sitting on the floor "Except for the temporarily dead wolf… What have I missed?"

Niklaus looked over before he turned back to his younger sister "Take the wolf boy elsewhere, would you, Bekah?" The blonde rolled her eyes and started dragging Tyler behind her by the arm "Just ignore her… Petty little thing."

I snorted and let out a low laugh when I heard Rebekah's response of "I heard that, Nik."

"So, Nik. Where is Elijah and why exactly did you decide to stuff him in a box?" I questioned, leaning against the wall away from the Doppelgänger. The Hybrid had sent the others away, so the only people left in the room were the two teenagers, Elena, Klaus and me.

Nik sounded slightly put out when he spoke "He was trying to stop me from making Hybrids."

My eyes narrowed "And that's why you stuck him into a box? That's your reason for stabbing your brother in the heart? Are you actually serious right now?"

"He made his choice," Klaus defended himself.

"Did you actually let him explain?" I demanded to know, my voice soft and dangerous "Or did you jump to conclusions?"

Niklaus shifted "I –"

I breathed in deeply "If I tell you how to make your stupid Hybrids… Will you wake him up?" I really needed Elijah right now. A part of me was really scared of what's going to happen now that the apocalypse officially started. My siblings were bound to find out that I was alive one day but I never expected it to be this soon. Maybe it was for the best though?

"You know?" the Hybrid questioned.

"Will you undagger him if I tell you?" I repeated, staring into his eyes.

There was shuffling on the other side of the gym "Stefan…" Elena breathed, causing Nik and me to look towards the door.

"Klaus," the younger Salvatore nodded.

The Mikaelson smirked "Come to save your damsel, mate?"

Stefan shook his head "I came to ask for your forgiveness. And pledge my loyalty."

"You broke that pledge once already," Niklaus pointed out.

"Elena means nothing to me anymore," the younger vampire snarled "And whatever you ask of me… I will do."

I raised an eyebrow at him "You suck at lying," I told him and strode forward. My gaze turned to the two scared teens who were still sitting on the floor "You two, leave."

"Samael…" Nik growled.

"No," I snapped "You just shut up. There's nothing you could say right now that I want to hear."

Elena stumbled backward when I strode up to her "W – What are you doing?"

Stefan sped in front of her, blocking me from getting to the Doppelgänger. I smirked "You think that is going to stop me?" I disappeared and reappeared behind Elena, grabbing her wrist "Just come with me and this will all be over sooner rather than later." I pulled her after me through the corridors where Rebekah was with the still dead werewolf.

"What's going on?" Caroline questioned, making to help the Doppelgänger "Elena?"

"Hold her for a moment, would you?" I asked Rebekah, shoving the brown-haired girl at her. As soon as that was done, I ignored everyone around me and knelt down next to Tyler. Since his soul was still in his body it would be quite easy for me to wake him up. I simply pressed two fingers to his forehead, causing him to wake up with a loud gasp.

"Where am I?" he panted "What happened?" He looked around and froze when the scene registered. Elena was restraint by Rebekah with Klaus standing next to them. Caroline and Stefan were watching the scene nervously, not sure what to do about it.

"You're in transition," I told him matter-of-factly "Going to be a Hybrid. Exciting, right?"

The werewolf blinked up at me "Who are you?"

"Not important right now," I waved off "Rebekah… I need you to bite the Doppelgänger now. Just a small bite will do."

Klaus stepped forward "Don't…"

My eyes flashed in annoyance "You want Hybrids, right? Feed him the girl's blood and he'll change. It's a bit of a stupid loophole but hey…"

Tyler's eyes zeroed in on the blood that welled up on Elena's arm and within a second he was standing in front of her, gulping down the blood.

"No, no, no," Caroline chanted "Tyler… Don't."

Klaus tilted his head at the blonde "If he doesn't feed, he'll die anyway, love. Consider this an experiment. While I do trust Samael… Better to be safe than sorry." The werewolf coughed and fell to the floor, screaming and writhing. He held his head tightly and screamed some more. Finally, after what seemed like hours, his face changed. The boy's eyes turned yellow and veins crawled up under his eyes "Well. That's a good sign."

"There," I murmured "I helped you. Will you wake him up now?"

Niklaus turned his eyes to me and nodded "Yes. There are some things I need to do before that but I'll wake him up after it's done." With that, he grabbed Elena and ran, leaving Rebekah and me behind with a newly turned Hybrid and two young vampires.

"Samael?" the blonde Original drew my attention from the doors "How about we get out of here?"

"Sure," I smiled lightly, following the girl.

Just before we reached the doors, Stefan found his voice "How could you?" he called out angrily "You're Damon's friend. Why aren't you helping us?"

"Maybe because you're idiots," I rolled my eyes "This could have been over and done with already if you hadn't decided to make the Originals your enemies. Elena would have survived the ritual if you hadn't tried to kill Klaus and Elijah. Actually, your whole stupid plans started to go wrong when Damon tried to dagger Elijah."

Caroline had tears streaming down her face "Why are you doing this?"

"It's the right thing," I murmured "Think about it. How would you feel to be alone with what you are? To have a part of you locked away for a thousand years? It's not a pleasant feeling. Come on, let's bail."
