Few things in his long life have made lasting, haunting impressions on him. But this, he decides, this will be burned into his mind. His first successful hybrid, Tyler Lockwood, has the cooling body of his friend in his arms as he howls in agony.
Every supernatural being within a ten-mile radius heard the life-ending gunshot. He had been speaking with Tyler when the shot was heard. The boy had left, leaving a curious Klaus and Rebekah to follow. The scene that the Originals came upon made them cringe.
Tyler is walking out of the water, cradling the still form of his friend. She could be sleeping if not for the gaping gunshot wound on her heart. The boy has a look of denial that will not last long. He falls to his knees in the shallows, head bowing over the graying body.
By this time, Caroline, Damon, and Stefan have appeared. There is something off about the look in the oldest Salvatore's eyes, but Klaus brushes it off in favor of watching Caroline. She is slowly approaching the still figures on in the shallow edges of the pond. She calls the boy's name, first softly, then with more volume and force as she is ignored. Klaus makes no move to intervene, the young vampire needs to learn that she will not always get the attention she wants. Especially in a situation such as this.
Finally the boy snaps, snatching Caroline's arm and viciously biting it. He flings her away as she cries out in shock and pain, resuming his position of his arms cradling the girl's body and head bowed over it. He suddenly throws back his head and howls. There is such anguish, such sorrow, such pain that Klaus cannot help but feel for his first hybrid. The howling only stops once Tyler's vocal chords give out.
Rebekah steps forward, carrying a white blanket in her arms. The Original sister lays out the covering, smoothing wrinkles out and the like. Somehow, the blonde coaxes the young hybrid into laying the girl onto the blanket, folding the excess over the body. Again, Tyler lifts the corpse into his arms, gently as though he were carrying a baby.
The boy stops when he sees the Salvatores, Damon more specifically. The hybrid finally speaks, voice gravelly and raw. "I want to kill you. I want to kill you so badly it physically hurts to restrain myself. But I won't." Tyler gives a mocking laugh at the flicker of confusion on the 500 year old vampire's face. "Why won't I? Because she asked me not to. Because she still loved you even after you broke her. I will forever despise you for what you did to her. But I will not kill you." The angry, mourning hybrid pushes past Damon, heading back to what Klaus can only assume is the Lockwood Mansion.
Rebekah leaves, off to her own devices. Klaus stays a moment longer, recalling the only conversation he ever held with the dead girl.
"Yes." The girl's simple to-the-point answer took him aback. "He knows that if I'm left alone I will kill myself. He's been making me drink his blood everyday, you know."
If she has Tyler's blood in her system still, she might yet still live. Though, with how adamant she was about dying, the possibility of her completing her transition is next to none.
Klaus looks over to where the oldest Salvatore stands. A chill travels down the Hybrid's spine at the dead look on Damon's face. Stefan may be a notorious Ripper when he turns his emotions off, but an emotionless Damon has him beat by miles. Klaus had watched an emotionless Damon decimate entire villages and towns. Nothing escaped him, not children, not women, not animals. If it had a heartbeat it died. Like this, Damon was known as the Crow, because a swarm of crows preceded his entrance into any town. It was a signal to any supernatural in the area to get the hell out of Dodge unless they wanted to die. The 500—100 to 200 at the time—year old vampire had killed others twice his age during this. Though unable to die, Klaus did not fancy fighting the elder Salvatore in this state.
And as dozens of crows appear in the sky, blocking out the sun, Klaus decides that he will be leaving Mystic Falls with his doppelganger in tow until the Crow is gone from it. The Original Hybrid blurs away, completely forgetting the fact that Caroline is soon to be stricken with the venom contained in a werewolf's bite. Not anywhere near the top of the list of things he needs to do to ensure that the older Salvatore doesn't get to Elena Gilbert before Klaus.
