A Big Thank You to All who have Followed, Favorited and Reviewed!

To Libsrocks:

Thanks, from the beginning of TVD I always liked how they introduced the "Originals" into the show and having Klaus pretend to be Alaric was a surprising ingenuous twist. In this Fic. You will see a bit more of Klaus as Alaric then you did when it aired.

Sure enough Three on the dot, "Alaric" parked his car outside the middle school waiting for the mystery girl to come out.

But unlike his long awaited doppelganger, he had no idea what to look for. It was not like he (Alaric) kept a photo in his wallet or anything.

Then with his eyes focused amongst the swam of fleeing kids.

His ears and body felt the passenger door open and slam close beside him.

Looking over at his right to find a small preteen girl with chestnut colored hair and quite familiar dark brown eyes huff in exhaustion as she dumped her heavy backpack on the floor of the car.

"Hey Ric, thanks for picking me up today. You can just drop me off at the apartment before heading over to the meeting at the Salvatore's"

Alaric winced as he turned the key over in the ignition.

"That's probably not a good idea, Moraine. I have a - "guest" there."

The way he said "guest" made the girl raise an eyebrow.

"It's Katherine isn't it?"

He blinked in surprise, what gave me away?

"I know it is! You're interrogating her on information about Klaus. Aren't you?"

If he were in his own body, he would be smirking right now. Well two out of three isn't bad, very good Love! Now what else do you know?

The preteen held up her hands in surrender.

"Hey don't worry about it, I'm not going to say a word to Elena or the Salvatores. Whatever you do to Katherine is your own business. I may only ask for the privilege to watch now and then. After what she did to me, the bitch has it coming"

Katrina, Katrina, you've certainly made some enemies haven't you?

The girl seemed to realize what she just admitted. "Sorry, I guess I went a little dark again huh?"

It took everything Klaus had in him not to laugh. "I would say so… but a little darkness never hurt anybody. Or so I heard."

"Alaric are you- (cough) (cough) ?"

"Ric" leaned over in the driver's seat and lightly pounded her back.

Once she seemed to catch her breath, she said "Thanks, my throat's been irritating me an awful lot lately. I guess tonight's the night for a hunt again."

Ahh! So the Vampire hunter knowingly took in a "young" vampire? This guy gets more and MORE interesting all the time!

"Remember tonight's the High School Dance. So please do your feeding without drawing much attention."

His eyes nearly dilating on the word "please".

The game was just becoming interesting and he didn't want to blow his cover with her just yet. Moraine laughed,

"Alaric, you act as if I haven't lived in Mystic Falls for thirty years prior to being with you!"
