"For almost three months, we were looking for werewolves as then Nik had finally a lead to go too Tennessee. In the months Nik and I had a good talk, about us and our daughter Rose. How we had the keep her safe and not lead her into dangerous situations." Brooklyn explained. "Also in those months Nik was getting to know his daughter, they share the same hobby and that is drawing." She chucked at the thought of them sitting together just drawing. "Everybody thinks he's lunatic or crazy and have short temper, but they don't see the side that he actually care. But well… He does have a short temper, that's actually true." Brooklyn said seriously. "Now… We are in Tennessee to look for a guy named Ray Sutton."
Klaus and Brooklyn walked as Brooklyn had a sleepy Rose in her arms, they came by a house as they were told Ray Sutton to live there. They saw a woman walking out of the house, shouting. "Rudy." Then she whistling, before she shouted again. "Rudy! Come on. It's too hot to make me come looking for you." She went down on her knees as she picked up a toy and stood up straight. The woman turned around to Klaus and Brooklyn standing there, with her daughter in her arms, sleeping.
"I am so sorry. We didn't mean to scare you." Klaus said in a country accent.
"Can I help you?" The woman asked them.
"Yeah, our, uh, our car ran out of gas a couple miles back. We feel like we've been walking forever." Klaus explained to the woman. "Yours is the first house I'd come to, so I was just hoping I could use your phone."
"Don't you have a cell phone?" The woman asked to Klaus, suspicions.
"Yeah." He held up his phone. "Batteries died. Look, I promise we are not a serial killers." Klaus said to her.
Then Brooklyn added, still have rose in her arms and sleeping. "We just want to use your phone."
"Sure." The woman sighed before turning around.
"So, we can come in?" Brooklyn asked sweetly.
"No, I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you." The woman said as she pointed from the house to them.
"I thought you country folk were supposed to be more trusting." Klaus said in his normal accent.
"I'm from Florida." The woman said ratter boldly to them.
"Well, that explains it." Klaus said before he uses his vampire speed to the woman and grabbed her by the throat as he compelled her, then he ordered her. "Now show me a little southern hospitality, sweet pea."
"Well, I'm going to stand outside." Brooklyn said to Klaus. "In order to keep Rose asleep and safe, Nik." Klaus nodded as he understands it.
Then he compelled the woman to invite him in, then they walked inside as Brooklyn and Rose remained outside. Klaus walked around to house to the kitchen as he heard another woman.
"I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning." The other woman said, she was busy cleaning the food residue and put it in a box. Then she put away the pan as then she turned around to Klaus and her friend crying. "What's going on?" The other woman asked concerned.
"Please don't be alarmed. I'm told Ray Sutton lives here." Klaus said to the other woman with the black hair.
"He's almost never here. He's on the road mostly." The woman with the black hair said.
"But I expect he makes it home once a month. That's what I thought. Where is he now?" Klaus asked as the black haired woman didn't answer his question. "If I have to make you tell me, it's going to be infinitely more painful for you." He said, smirking as the woman with the black hair ran out of the kitchen to the front door and open it, but only to see Stefan standing there, by the front door.
"Aaah!" The woman with the black hair screamed.
Klaus and blonde walked out into the corridor. "I love it when they run." He said with a smirk on his face.
"He's in Tulley. It's near the border. A bar called Southern Comfort. It's off highway 41." The woman who just ran said to Klaus as she was crying a little bit.
"Thank you, my love." Klaus said as he turned to the woman who stood next to him. "Now, may my friend come in your home?"
"Yes." The woman replied, crying. The other woman looked terrified at Klaus before she looked at the door as Stefan stepped inside of the house.
Klaus pushed the blonde woman to Stefan. "Kill this one quickly, make that one suffer." He pointed at the woman with the black hair. "I'll be in the car." Klaus said as he walked outside of the house.
"Please don't, please..." The woman with the blond hair said to Stefan as then he bit into her neck.
Outside of the house Klaus is still walked to Brooklyn and his daughter as he could hear the screams coming from inside of the house.
"Is she still asleep?" Klaus asked as he's by Brooklyn arrived and a sleeping Rose, who was sleeping now in the car, peacefully.
"Yes, I don't how, but yes, Nik." Brooklyn said smiling at him. "I don't know where she get that from."
"Maybe she get it from you, love." Klaus said playfully. "You sleep also like that."
"Ha, ha." Brooklyn said sarcastic, before she stepped in to the car.
Then Klaus also stepped in to the car as then they waited for Stefan to be done.
Later Stefan was done and they went to a hotel to sleep.
The next day, they were on their way to Southern Comfort. When they arrived there, the guy Ray Sutton wasn't there yet. So they walked inside and waited for him to come by.
Then he came by, he walked into the bar and walked straight to the barman.
"What's up, Ray?" The man called from the bar.
"Hey, Red. Can I get a beer?" Ray said as he sat by the bar.
Klaus and Brooklyn joined at the bar by Ray as Rose sat by Stefan for the moment. "Ray? Ray Sutton?" Klaus asked.
"Who wants to know?" Ray asked back as he turned to look at Klaus.
"I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensacola. I met a young chap there who you worked with before you moved to Memphis." Klaus explained to Ray. "Now he directed me to two lovely young women and they led me here to you."
"I think I'll be going." Ray said trying to get away as Klaus stopped him and Brooklyn stood up and walked to her daughter, but had a view on them as she sat next to daughter now.
"Not so fast, mate. You only just got here." Klaus said. "Now your type are very hard to come by."
Then Ray tried to walk the other way, but then Stefan stood there and stopped him. "I wouldn't do that." He said.
"Vampires." Ray said to them.
"You're swifty swift, Ray." Klaus said to him, then he pointed at Stefan. "Yes, my friend here is a vampire. He's compelled everyone in the bar, so don't look to them for any help. I, however I'm something else." He explained. "A different kind of monster. I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf."
"You're what?" Ray asked confused.
"A hybrid, Ray. I'm both. You see, I want to create more of me." Klaus explained to him. "Now, you being the first werewolf I've come across in many a moon, pun intended, Ray, I need you to direct me to your pack." Then he asked. "So… Where can I find them, Ray?"
"You can't compel me, it won't work." Ray said as it was the obviously thing the world.
Then Klaus nodded at Stefan as he pulled a little bag out from his back pocket. "I need a scotch on the rocks, please." Stefan said to the barman, before he turned to Ray. "Tell you what, Ray. We're going to play a little drinking game. Something I like to call truth or wolfsbane." He pulled out a pouch of wolfsbane and poured it into his hands and crushing it with his fingers.
"Oh, this is going to be fun, Ray." Klaus said while he smirked. Then he turned to Brooklyn and Rose. "You will be outside, then?" He asked.
Brooklyn nodded. "Yes, it's about to get bloody and torture in here." She said as she turned to Rose. "Come, sweetie, we are going outside and the beautiful weather." Brooklyn stood up and grabbed her daughter's hand.
"But…" Rose said. "I want a hug from daddy first." She said to her mother.
"You can hug him later, sweetie." Brooklyn said.
"No, I want now a hug from daddy, please?" Rose asked sweetly.
Brooklyn looked hopelessly at Klaus. Then he said. "I will give her a hug outside, love."
"Is that okay with you, sweetie?" Brooklyn at her daughter.
"Yes." Rose said, who practically jumped in the air as Brooklyn rubbed her face for a moment.
Then Klaus turned to Stefan. "You can start, with the…" He pointed at dartboard, who hang at the wall. "I will be right back." Stefan nodded at him as he, Brooklyn and Rose walked outside.
Outside of the Southern Comfort, Klaus hugged his daughter as she had that requested, Brooklyn smiled at the sight in front of her. Then they broke the hug as Klaus said. "I'm going back inside, why don't you and Rose go back to the hotel, love?"
"Okay." Brooklyn said. "By using the car then?"
"Yes, love." Klaus said.
"But don't you need the car?" Brooklyn asked a little confused.
"No, I can always compel someone or just use my vampire speed." Klaus explained to Brooklyn.
"Okay, I will use the car." Brooklyn said. "Do what you have to do." She grabbed her daughter's hand. "I will see you later then." She said as he nodded and walked inside.
"Mommy, why do we have go?" Rose asked at her mother.
"Because, your dad need to do something, were…" Brooklyn pointed at her and herself. "We are not needed, sweetie." She explained it.
Rose nodded at her mother. "Okay, mommy."
"Now, how about an ice-cream by the hotel, sweetie?" Brooklyn asked while she smiled.
"Yes." Rose beamed as Brooklyn nodded.
Then the two of them walked to the car and stepped in as Brooklyn put her and Rose's, their girdles on and started the car and drive away from the Southern Comfort to their hotel, were they were sleeping.
Klaus walked inside in the Southern Comfort and walked straight to Stefan, who has Ray chained up at the wall, behind Ray was the dartboard. Stefan was preparing a drink with wolfsbane in it, Klaus watched him. Then Stefan threw a dart to Ray and it went straight to his neck.
"Ray, you can end this right now. Just tell me where your pack gathers for the full moon." Stefan said to Ray as he walked closer to him.
"I can't." Ray said to him.
"I know, I know, you live by a code and all that, but see, he's not going to let me stop until you tell me and I do whatever he says." Stefan said to him as he pulled out a dart by Ray. "That's the way it goes around here."
Then a woman walked inside and walked straight to Klaus as she said to him. "Hello, Mr. Klaus. I have some information for you. You told me to tell you if I saw anything." She explained. "I saw that guy's brother Damon at the farmhouse."
"Well, thank you, Claudine." Klaus said to her. "You just tell your friends to keep up the good work with the neighborhood watch, huh?" Then he asked as the woman nodded and walked away from him as then Stefan stood there.
"My brother's still on our trail?" Stefan asked.
"He's getting closer." Klaus said as he started to walk away. "I'm going to have to deal with that."
Stefan grabbed quickly he arm and stopped him from leaving. "No, no, no. Let me handle it." Stefan said to him.
"Why should I let you leave?" Klaus asked him suspicions.
"Cause you know I'll come back." Stefan replied.
"Do I?" Klaus asked, still suspicions.
"You saved my brother's life." Stefan ensured him. "I'm in your service."
"That almost sounds so tedious and indentured." Klaus said smiling. "Aren't you even having the least bit of fun, heh?" Then he pointed at Ray, still smiling.
"I'll make sure that my brother doesn't bother us anymore." Stefan said to him as he walked away.
Meanwhile by Brooklyn and Rose. They sat outside of the hotel as they had a playground. Rose was playing in the playground as Brooklyn watched her.
Then Brooklyn received a text from Klaus, saying that Stefan payed a visit to Damon, so that he doesn't bother them anymore. She sent a quick text back as then she put away her phone, then Rose came to her mother.
"Mommy!" Rose said.
Brooklyn looked at her daughter. "Yes, sweetie."
"Come play with, please?" Rose asked sweetly.
"Yes, I will, sweetie." Brooklyn said as Rose tucked with her as she laughed.
They walked to the swings and sat on it as they started to swing and laughed. Then later they moved to the slide and so on as they had seen the whole playground.
Then it was getting late and Brooklyn decided to eat something with Rose, so Brooklyn grabbed her daughters hand and walked with her inside of the hotel, so they could eat something.
Back by the Southern Comfort, Klaus put Ray on one of the pool tables as he stood by him. "Okay, it's a three step process, right? This is step one. I want you to drink from my wrist." Klaus said to Ray.
"I already told you where to find the pack." Ray said to him as he breathed a little difficult, then he asked. "What more do you want from me?"
"Have you been listening to a word I've been saying, Ray? I have great plans for you." Klaus said, smirking as he cut open his wrist and made Ray drink his blood. "He'll thank me for it later. There we go, Atta boy!"
Klaus removed he arm as then Ray asked to him. "What are you going to do now?"
"It's time for step two, Ray." Klaus said to Ray as he snapped his neck, then he turned around to see Stefan standing there. "You're back." He said.
"Did you doubt me?" Stefan asked to him.
"Not for a second. I knew you'd pass the test." Klaus said while he smirked at Stefan. "You still care for your brother, for your old life."
"Nah, I don't care about anything anymore." Stefan said as he walked to a table and stood there.
Klaus walked to him and said. "You put on a good show, Stefan. I almost believe you. Let's hope, for your brother's sake, he does. You never stop caring about family, do you?" He asked as Stefan didn't answer him, so Klaus continued to talk. "But every time you feed, the blood makes it easier to let go."
