To TableKorner:

I hope you enjoy this chapter diving into a little bit of Moraine's past.

WH-? NO WAY! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I'm the only one! …

Never mind, never mind, focus on the task ahead Niklaus - Find out what my precious doppelganger and her friends have planned. Though this new development bares looking into…

thought Klaus as he turned from staring at the place where "his" charge vanished.

Walking up and knocking before opening the front door of the Salvatore's Mansion.

"There you are," said Damon Salvatore.

Closing the door, "Alaric" walked over to join the group. "Sorry I'm late."

Damon gave a slight shrugged of his head, dismissing the apology. "Hey, I'm gonna need you to put me down as a chaperone for the dance tonight? Klaus made his first move," he explained.

"Ok so we find him and then what?" asked Elena. "What's our plan of attack?"

Her friend, Bonnie Bennett saw this as her cue. "Me,"

Causing Damon to turn his head along with everyone else's to stare at the young witch.

"I'm the plan," she continued. "He has no idea how much power I can channel." Taking a few more steps towards her doppelganger friend. "If you find him, I can kill him Elena. I know I can."

"Alaric" was uncomfortable. "That not going to be that easy. I mean… he is the biggest baddest vampire around."

"Alaric has a point," said Damon. "I mean what if he-" (Trying to speed flash in front of Bonnie but the witch held up one hand. Halting him in his tracks before slamming his body down on the hard wooden floor with the throw carpet as his only cushion.)

His brother, Stefan Salvatore merely shrugged at the scene "Well I was impressed."

Bonnie then started walking around the room in a circle,

"It doesn't matter if he's an Original. I can take down anybody that comes at me."

Elena huffed in acceptance of her friend's strategy while "Alaric" just stared.

Realizing what he was up against before Stefan captured his "friend's" attention. "Hey Ric, are you alright? You seem like you have a lot on your mind. Is it Moraine?"

Ah yes! Moraine I nearly forgot about her. Still so many questions…

"Yes Stefan is about her. Did-did you know she can turn into a werewolf? I thought she was just a vampire."

His comrade just smiled and lightly patted his back, "Yeah, I had that moment myself once back when I first found her in 1977."

"You- found her?"

"Hmm-mm, Didn't I already tell you this story?" he asked and then sighed.

"Aww well! It was October 13th,

For one reason or another I found myself wandering the streets of Chicago at 8:30 at night.

When my nose picked up the stench of burning kerosene... It ended up leading me to an old blazing warehouse.

It seemed deserted, and I was just about to go and find a payphone to call 911 when I heard a faint scream coming from inside the building. All the doors were locked but I managed to find an opening by crashing through the basement window. As luck would have it, I was right where I needed to be.

There in the middle of the room was a small metal cage with what appeared to a little creature huddled in the corner of it.

As I got closer, I soon realized it was a child.

Once I got the cage door open, I found that she'd been chained up in addition.

We were running out of time, the smoke was already starting to creep in.

So I resorted to yanking the restrains from the screws that bolted them to the cage. We just barely made out the way I came in before the building exploded behind us.

It took a few minutes before she started moving.

I could tell she was in immense pain.

Then her fangs came out once she smelled the pulsing blood coming from the human firefighters that finally arrived on the scene. I knew I had to get her away from there.

Not knowing what else to do,

I brought her home to Mystic Falls where I received help from Sheila Bennett, Bonnie's grandmother.

Moraine turned into a wolf once or twice in my car on the way there to deal with the pain.

It took some convincing but Sheila felt sorry for her when her magic revealed Moraine's bodily history:

Prior to the actual fire and the conditions I found her in. She had been beaten, raped and tortured repeatedly for quite some time.

The healing spell Sheila cast could only do so much. Some of both the mental and physical scars she suffered would be permanent. But we would be there to help her through it.

And so she has stayed here ever since... apart from being with you."
