To Tablekorner:
I'm glad you like the story so far. I couldn't imagine this starting anywhere else in TVD timeline. The setup is just too prefect. I'm also happy to hear that you've warmed up to Moraine. She does indeed have an interesting background that will be revealed little by little. My ultimate goal for her is that because of her uniqueness, She will be the one person who can empathize with Klaus the most.
THIRTY YEARS!
Why would ANYBODY stick around this SMALL hick town for THAT long?
thought Klaus, Now New Orleans…I can understand. It's lively and there is always something going on. "Just how old are you Moraine again?"
The girl sighed,
"Ric, you know I don't like to discuss my past. But if you must know I'm over a thousand… (Merely a decade younger than the Original Vampires.) she added under her breath but Klaus heard anyway.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to bring up such a sore subject."
Moraine looked at her foster Dad, "Geez! you must be stressing big time. And who can blame you? Between the recent relationship drama with Jenna to Preparing for Klaus' arrival."
They were waiting for me? Well I guess Elijah told them a bit more than necessary. Still, it is good to be "wanted" (inner chuckling)
He cleared his throat, "I must say Moraine. Your… reaction to the news of the infamous "Klaus" is a little unexpected. Everyone else seems to be freaking out while you're so calm." (Comparing others antsy to the girl's serene attitude.)
"Maybe with all my years of experience. I've learned that there are worst things out there then "Klaus Mikaelson."
Oh intrigue! "Like what?"
All he got in response this time was for the preteen to shut up and look out the window.
Not quite knowing what else to do "Alaric" drove them to the Salvatore's Mansion for the meeting.
Upon getting out of the car Moraine stretched and said "Hey Ric while the meeting is going on, I'm gonna go for a quick run okay?"
He blinked in surprise "You- You don't want to stay for it.
"Not really considering I'm supposed to play the part of the "blissful ignorant" kid" she said using quotations. "Just promise to clue me in if there's something I need to know in regards to my safety."
He raised an eyebrow
Really? Well be rest assured young one. I will tell you exactly what you need to when the time is right. "I promise"
"Alright so I'll see you later" she said, pulling off her red hooded jacket and tossing it in the backseat.
Re-shutting the door, the girl paused to give Alaric a quick peck on the cheek before sprinting off into the woods.
Then the strangest thing happened:
Just as she rounded the corner Moraine changed shape in broad daylight from human to werewolf!
