A/N: There is a pic of what Sam wore on the hike and how she looked while on the hike on my profile under The wayward Salvatore
Klaus's Pov (Smoky Mountains, Tennessee)
"It's fascinating, actually... A werewolf who isn't beholden to the moon, a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun. A true hybrid." I explained, with a great sense of gratification. As the dream of me siring my own superior species was now finally going to become a reality. And along for the ride, was my long last friend, and confidant, Stefan Salvatore. Though the poor brooding bastard didn't know yet.
As my speech concluded, the sound of an air constricted gasp signaled that Ray Sutton had finally awoke from his brief but deep slumber.
"Excellent timing, Ray. Very dramatic." I stated to the newly transitioning werewolf.
"What's happening to me?" asked a some what worried Ray
Deciding to let my little helper explain to Ray, and the rest of the werewolves what was happening, I simply turned to the brooding Salvatore and said, "Stefan?"
Pushing off of the gigantic boulder that we both happened to be sitting on, Stefan quickly gets to his feet, "Are any of you human? Your friend here needs human blood to complete his transition to vampire. If he doesn't get it, he will die." said Stefan, as he peered around that pack. Waiting for someone to step forward and offer themselves up for the cause.
Getting to me feet, I subtly began sniffing out the pack, as I knew for a certainty that out of this lot, at least one person among them had to be human. It was just a matter of who. "Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?" I asked, before then finally picking up on the scent of a human. As I sharply turned my head to the source of the human scent, I then addressed the human, "You." just prior to super speeding over to him, biting a hug chuck from his forearm before then tossing him to Stefan. Who surprisingly enough, didn't miss a beat, and caught the old sap. The whole thing probably took no longer than a second, two tops.
Now upon catching the human, Stefan immediately throws & pins him on the ground just inches from Ray's reach.
When the human's werewolf girlfriend decided to protest against will, by charging after Stefan. So using my vampire speed, I suddenly appeared in front of the female werewolf and began strangling her, as I kept her in place.
"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will. Problem is I don't know how to stop." baited Stefan, to the obviously starving and still transitioning werewolf.
Turning my attention to the girl I was strangling, I kindly loosened my grip on her neck just a bit, so I could look her dead in the eyes as I proclaimed, "It's the new order, sweetheart. You join us, or you die."
"I'd rather die than be a vampire." spat out the wolf, with much defiance.
"Wrong choice." I pointed out, before then force feeding her my blood.
And as I force feed this defiant wolf my blood, Ray finally caves and begins the drinking the blood of the human, Stefan had pinned down in front of him.
"She'll thank me for that later. Heh." I stated with grin, before then killing the female wolf. Upon the werewolf's death, I slowly began licking the blood of my index finger, before then addressing the rest of the pack. "Ok, who's next?" I asked, as my eyes turned amber, and my fangs protracted.
3rd Pov (Mystic Grill)
Alone over at the pool table, Tyler had just went for his break shot, when Matt Donavon while on his rounds came over and began pouring the young werewolf a cup of coffee.
"You moving in or something? You've been here forever." said Matt, referring to the fact that Tyler had yet to leave Grill after his little meet up with Elena
"I was suppose to meet up with Caroline at my place, but since I was already on my way here to talk with Elena, I texted her telling her to meet me here. That was about a hour or so ago. Plus every time call, her phone just goes to voicemail." replied Tyler, as he once again texted Caroline
"A simple I'm waiting for Caroline would have been more that enough." rebutted Matt
Finally peering up from his phone, Tyler glances at the star quarterback, "You haven't seen her, have you?"
"Not keeping up on her comings and goings anymore." said a some what cold and distant sounding Matt
"Look, man, I never meant for me and her being friends to be a problem for you." stated an apologetic Tyler.
"Yea, it's your friendship I have a problem with." said Matt, sarcastically
"Matt." started Tyler,
"It is what it is." interrupted Matt, before he then started walking away. Before Matt could get very far, he stopped and let out a low sigh just prior to turning back to Tyler. "Tonight's a full moon. She usually helps you?"
"Yeah. Whatever." responded Tyler
"Do you, uh... Is this like the kind of thing that you need another person for?" asked Matt with a bit of reluctance
"I can handle it. But thanks." said Tyler, before then taking a sip of his newly poured coffee. Immediately after drinking the coffee, Tyler scrunches up his face and then sets the cup back on the pool table. "Ahh. What is up with my taste buds today?
With a grin on his face, Matt then replies, "Heh. It's the vervain. The sheriff has me slip it into the coffee here every now and then."
"That's what vervain tastes like?" asked Tyler in shock, as he recalled the coffee back at his mother's house, had the exact same taste.
"Yeah. I'm surprised you can taste it, the coffee usually hides the flavor. For humans, anyway." teased Matt, before then going and continuing on his rounds
Sam's Pov (Smoky Mountains, Tennessee)
After minutes of trotting around in the goddamn wilderness, Damon finally picked up on Elena and Ric's voices.
"Gott em." said Damon with a hint of annoyance still present in his tone
"Ok good, now just don't loose them." I replied, as I continued striding up the hill in a jeans one sleeve jacket, with black polyester pants and black leather limited open toe boots, all while allowing my long shoulder length hair to dangle freely in the wind.
"Would you hurry up." insisted a now impatient Damon
"Guess what buddy, not all of us are vampire, ok? So unless the next thing that comes out of your mouth is a way to help me get up this hill in a timely manner, then I suggest you shut the hell up." I pointed out, as I continued on up the hill.
With a crazed look now in his eyes, Damon then smiles, "As you wish." said Damon, before then vanishing from sight. Only to then reappear beside me, as he then wrapped one arm around me and vamp sped us all the way to where Ric and Elena were.
The moment Damon finally loosened his hold on me, a now slightly queasy and somewhat disoriented me, found myself standing right beside Ric. While Damon still in super speed, snuck up behind Elena and tossed the Katherine doppelgänger off the ridge, about six feet into air, before she then landed smack dab in the river.
"Samantha! Damon! How are you two even here?" asked a now shocked and puzzled Elena, after resurfacing from her sudden plunge in the river, only then spot me and the older Salvatore
Turning his head slightly to the right, Damon then says, "Thanks for the tip, brother."
Just as Alaric, had taking a few steps forward.
Turning her gaze from Damon, to Alaric, after putting two and two together Elena then says, "You sold me out!"
"You think I'd take you to a mountain range of werewolves on a full moon without backup?" asked Alaric, as he peered at Elena as though she was naïve.
0~o~0
Following a few back and forth childish bickering between Elena, and Damon, which to no ones surprise was composed of Elena refusing to get out of the river, which in turn prompted Damon to go in after her. Can anyone say annoying? I swear to god, sometimes it feels like I'm the adult in sea of children and hormones.
Anyways, upon pulling myself, out of my train of thought I was able to catch the last few minutes of the Damon, and Elena drama fest.
"Klaus thinks you died when he broke the curse. That makes you safe. This, this is not safe." stated Damon, as he gestured to the surroundings
"I'm not leaving before we find him." argued a defiant Elena
"It's a full moon tonight, Elena." pointed out Damon
"Then we'll find him before then. Damon, please." pleaded Elena
Well her strong woman stance didn't last very long, no shocker there.
"Ok. Ok. But we are out of here before the moon is full and I'm werewolf bait." said Damon, as he crumbled like a soggy cookie right in Elena's hands.
"I promise." assured Elena
"Unless you wanna relive that whole deathbed kissy thing." added Damon
"I said I promise." reaffirmed Elena
"Fine." said Damon, before he and Elena finally opted to get out of the water.
Looking over at Ric I said, "I swear things would be so much easier, if those two just had se with each other."
"Sam." said Alaric, with surprised and almost appalled look on his face
"I heard that." said Damon, as he and Elena drew nearer to us
"That was kind of the point, you idiot." I rebutted

3rd Pov (Lockwood Mansion)
Upon entering into his father's office, Tyler instantly spots his mother as she's turning on a lamp located at the edge of the desk. "You put vervain in my coffee this morning. Why?" asked not so trusting Tyler
"Vervain? What are you talking about?" ask Carol, as she tried acting as though she had no idea what Tyler was talking about.
"Let's skip the part where we pretend we don't know about the vampires in this town. You were testing me and Samantha to see if we were vampires. I want to know why." declared Tyler
"You've been spending so much time with Caroline, and Samantha's been spending so much time with you. I had to know for sure." explained Carol
"What does Caroline have to do with it?" asked Tyler, as he attempted to play dumb
"Let's skip the part where we pretend she's not one of them." said Carol, as he demeanor switched to a more dominant one.
"I was suppose to meet up with Caroline, and I never did. Did you do something to her?" asked Tyler, as he now suspected his mother of foul play
"Tyler, I don't want you to be with her. Why can't you just be happy with Samantha?" asked Carol
"Where is she, mom?" asked a now impatient Tyler
"I can't let you be together." protested Carol
"What did you do to her? Where is she?" pushed Tyler
"You can't be with her. She's a monster!" snapped Carol
Following a brief moment of silence, a some what hurt Tyler then asks, "You don't know about me, do you?"
"Know what? Know what, Tyler?" asked a now worried Carol

Sam's Pov
The sun was setting, and yet Ric, Elena, Damon, and I were still trotting to through the woods, like we had no care in the world.
"We got about a mile left." said Alaric
"The sun's about to set." pointed out Damon
"I can see that, Damon." shot back Elena
"I'm just saying." stated Damon
"The moon doesn't reach its apex for a while. We have time." explained Elena
"Look who's suddenly an expert in astronomy."
"Sam." said Ric, in a fatherly fashion
"Don't Sam me, am I the only one remembering that we not only want to find Stefan before the wolves turn, but also be able to leave the woods before they turn? Cause last I check, Damon's the only one with super speed, and aside from Elena, we three are the only ones capable of defending ourselves." I blatantly stated, just seconds before hearing twigs snap
As we all looked on ahead to find the source of the snapping twigs. we suddenly saw a man in a blood stained shirt entering into the clearing.
"Stay where you are!" ordered Alaric, as he pointed his cross bow at the new comer.
With a daze look on his face, the new comer just blankly stares at us for like a second or two before then setting his attention on Damon, "Vampire."
Then just like, Damon and the new comer super sped towards each other and a battle instantly unfolds.
What was weird, was that this guys movements, along with his speed, and strength were all vampire like, which was surprising seeing as we were looking for werewolves.
With Damon pinned to tree, Ric intervenes by shooting the newcomer square in the back, but to our shock, the arrow didn't affect in the least.
So thinking fast, Elena reaches in to her back pack and tosses Damon a wolves Bain grenade. "Damon!"
Catching it, Damon then slams the grenade the guys face. The guy then screams as his face burns, before then dropping to the floor. Seeing this as his chance to put the guy down hard, Damon uses a combo of his super strength and speed, to kicks the in the stomach knocking him unconscious.
"Let me guess. Hybrid." said Alaric, as he peered from the now unconscious werewolf hybrid, to Damon
"If there's more of these things just running around the woods, then let me the first to say, that we're screwed." I pointed out, referring to the fact that Damon, as old as he was, was almost over powered by this hybrid.
0~o~0
With the hybrid now tied to a tree, me and the others now start trying to formulate some sort of a game plan, seeing as everything has now changed due to use knowing that there are in fact hybrids in the area.
"That was the last of our vervain. We don't have enough stuff to hold him. I don't think we're gonna make that Ridge before the full moon." pointed out Alaric
"If we can get him to talk, we don't have to." said Elena, as she then proceeded closer towards the unconscious hybrid.
Now just as Elena had gotten close to the hybrid, the hybrid suddenly awakes. And with him waking up, he instantly lets out an earth shattering scream, which is accompanied, by the snapping and breaking of his bones.
"You've got to be shitting me." I blurted out, as it was painfully obvious what was now happening to the hybrid
"Is he turning?" asked Damon shock
"It's impossible. It's still daylight." blurted out Elena in disbelief
"Tell him that." stated Alaric
Realizing that we were completely unprepared for this, and that attempting to go on any further would be suicide me and my group quickly turned around and high tailed back from where we came. As we attempted to get as far away as we possibly could from the now turning werewolf hybrid.
0~o~0
It was now night fall, and we were still running through the forests on our way to Alaric's Tahoe, when Elena suddenly trips and falls.
Now you'd think that would be the worst part of all this, but it wasn't. You see stationed right in front of Elena bearing it's fangs, was none other than the wolf we were trying so hard to get away from.
Deciding to be the hero of the story, Damon draws the wolf's attention, before then super speeding away and not far behind him, was the werewolf.
"Now come on. Let's keep moving." said Ric, after both Damon and the werewolf ran off in to the woods.
"We can't leave Damon." pointed out Elena
"Are you frigging kidding me right now?!" I asked in utter disbelief "Damon is a big boy he can handle himself. Now let's move!" I ordered
"No. If he gets bit, he'll be dead. I'm the reason he's out here." whined Elena
"I am the reason he's out here. I told him where we were, and I'm telling you to keep moving. Let's go. Elena, now!" snapped Alaric.
And with that Alaric, Elena, and myself all bolted back to Ric's Tahoe. Where we'd wait for Damon to rejoin our group.
(After some time has passed)
Back at Alaric's Tahoe, both Ric and Elena waited inside the vehicle as two shared a heart to heart. Me, I was sitting on the hood of Alaric's Tahoe, making sure to keep an eye out for any dangers, plus I didn't want to be in car while Elena and Alaric were having there moment. I don't know why, but as of lately, just the sound of Elena's voice tends to annoy the hell out of me. I don't know, maybe it's because she's always winning, or maybe it's because I feel she's spoiled, or hell, maybe it's just because I'm just a bitch, I don't know. I just know I refuse to be in confined spaces with that overly dramatic drama queen.
Just then and much to my relief, Damon finally exited the woods on route to Alaric's Tahoe.
"Damon!" I called out, as I happily hopped off the hood of the car and watched as the older Salvatore, made his way towards the car.
It was then that Elena hopped of out the Tahoe, "Damon?" she called out, before then running over to Damon, who to my surprise was in quite the hurry to leave.
" Are you ok? Did you...?" asked Elena
"Fine, bite-free. Get back in the car, please." ordered an impatient Damon,
"Can you just give me a minute to appreciate that you're not dead?" asked Elena in a smug tone
"I'll give you 10 seconds. 9, 8..." said Damon, before then turning first turning Elena around as he then started pushing her towards the Tahoe. 'Hey Ric, you happen to see where I parked my Car?" asked Damon in a teasing manner as he continued to shove the Petrova doppelgänger towards the passenger seat.
"Damon, stop being such a caveman." got out Elena, as she tried resisting Damon's shoving
Looking back at Alaric with a some what disgusted look on my face I asked, "Are they always like this?"
"Yea, and the worst part is, this isn't even the worst of it." joked Ric, before then pushing off the hood of his Tahoe, as he then hopped back in the driver's seat.
At this point in time, Damon had just gotten Elena in to the passenger side of the car. "Hey." called out Damon, in an attempt to get my attention. "Am I going to have to start shoving you to?" asked the impatient Salvatore
"Nope, I am all good." I responded, as I lifted both my hands in surrender on my way towards the back seat located on driver's side of the Tahoe.
With all of us now in the Tahoe, Ric started up the engine, and just like that, we were finally on our way home after a long and grueling day of looking for Stefan up in Smoky Mountains.
3rd Pov (The Old Lockwood Cellar)
A butt naked Tyler had just woken up, after passing out as his wolf form reverted back into that of a human. Looking around the cell he was in, Tyler notices the state of disarray everything is in, before he then spots his mother, on the opposite of the locked gate curled up in a corner with tears running down her face.
"I'll take care of it. I'll make sure nothing happens to her." said Carol
"Thank you." replied a relief and very grateful Tyler
Sam's Pov (Right out side the Gilbert House)
Upon returning to Mystic Falls, me and the rest my of group got dropped off at the Gilbert Household. Now while everyone was inside, I opted to waited outside on the porch for Damon, seeing as we both told Alaric we'd just walk up.
So as I stood on the porch gazing out at the night sky, the front door finally opened behind me, and out strutted Damon.
"Come one let's go." said Damon, just as he was passing me.
With a playful and some what judgmental scoff, I immediately followed after the Older Salvatore.
"What's with the scoff, Miss Judgy?" asked Damon as we made our way off the stoop.
"Did you have fun up there?" I asked, referring to the fact that I knew Damon was in Elena's room seeing as her window is right above the porch and I kind of some what heard them talking
"Now what's that suppose to mean?" asked Damon, with a bit of a attitude
"It means, it's already bad enough that your in love with your brothers girl, but why on top of EVERYTHING going on do you have to make a move on her? It's wrong Damon." I pointed out, which in turned brought me and Damon to a full on stop, as we now turned to face each other
"Ok first off keep you're little judgy comments to yourself, and second I'm not doing anything. And even if I was, It wouldn't be any of your business." smirked Damon
"My uncle, your brother, give himself over to Klaus to save your life and instead of doing he RIGHT thing, which would be to stop all your flirty antics with Elena until Stefan's back. You're just going on business as usual, and it's a little sicken." I explained
After a moment of silence, which was then followed by an angered look that suddenly made it's way across Damon's face. "Yea well, you're shot." spat out Damon in contempt, before vampire speeding away.
A few seconds after Damon left me, he suddenly returned, extending his hand to me with an annoyed look on his face. "Come on grab my hand let's go home." said my salty uncle,
With a smile, I took his hand and just like that we off. As he super speed us back to the Salvatore Boarding House. Now it's true he was a little mad about me telling what I did, but he knew it was truth. And after spending two months alone, just him and I, we've actually become closer with one another and if I'm being honest, I kind of like it. Cause now we're beyond being rivals, now we're more like the annoying brother and sister who always argue and never get alone, but deep down inside, the two truly love each other and willing die for the other.
Now it still sucks that Stefan was taking away from us, but this is the silver lining, and I'm thankful for that.
