A/N: Here is Chapter 5. I know I have wrote a lot of the character OOC. I did this because sometimes I want to see them in a happier mood. Don't get me wrong. I live for Klaus being the non-trusting evil bastard that he is! However I also like him when he has some happy emotions. So you will be seeing a mostly happy Klaus and originals from me. Thank you for the 1 guest who reviewed my FanFic. It means the world to me. I haven't decided what route I want the whole Christoph thing to go so it may be awhile before you see him appear again. I want Tyler and Eve to stop playing and make a move. There are no lemons in this chapter. Anyway Read and review and Favorite/follow. Thank you to everyone who takes the time out to read. I appreciate it. Oh I also have been working on Chapter 6 already so hopefully I will be able to get it out this weekend!
5 Minutes Earlier
Eve paced the room. Why would he ask her to wait here? Maybe he went to go get a condom. No he seems panicky. Also he did say don't open the door only for him and Klaus… It didn't make sense. The more the wheels turned in her head the more scared she became. Just then she heard the door handle jiggle. Not even thinking she ran to the door. Wait a minute, she thought to herself. I'm not supposed to open the door. Fear immediately set in. Panicking Eve hid under the desk. At that exact moment the door flew open and she was being pulled by her hair upwards. "I can smell that dog all over you. You must be of some value. If not I will enjoy you all the same." Eve Barely had time to register what was happening before the man sunk his teeth into her neck. It wasn't painful. It was almost euphoric. It was over before it started. Next thing Eve knew was she was light headed and was being pushed down the corridor Tyler and her had come down previously.
Present time
Tyler was angry. Klaus was angry. Rebekah was angry. Let's just say everybody was angry. Tyler was angry Eve was involved. He didn't want her getting hurt. Part of the reason he left Mystic Falls was because innocent life was always disregarded when it came to the Scooby doo gang and saving the day, in the name of Elena. He did not want to fall back into the pattern of innocent people getting involved in supernatural bullshit. Klaus was angry because who did this fucker think he was calling the shots in his home? Klaus was a changed man since he had his daughter. He actually gave a fuck about people now. He saw in Eve's eyes she was a lost soul but a good one. He did not appreciate this fucker threatening her life. He was going to make a move. Rebekah was angry because it was her who invited Eve. She wanted a sense of normalcy and she felt having a human friend would do that. Now she would have to compel her to forget and always feel bad in the back of her mind for not being honest. This twat was going to pay and she was going to make sure Klaus dealt with him. After they got Eve out of harm's way.
Eve was sick. She felt like she was going to vomit. She didn't realize that she was being used as a bargaining chip. Eve felt the bile rising in her throat. Deep breaths deep fucking breaths Eve you can do this. You're already covered in blood no need to be covered in vomit. Too late. Chunks where outta of her mouth before she could even inhale deeply. That's when all hell broke loose.
The man who had been holding Eve had let go of her when she vomited. Pushing her to the ground causing her to hit her head and be rendered unconscious. It was a natural reaction. Who the hell wants to be covered in Vomit? Tyler sprang into action. Before Ignacio even had time to respond, Tyler was grabbing him by his shoulders and ripping out his heart through his chest. Causing the vampire to fall to the ground dead. Klaus Vamped over to an unnamed vampire and bit into his neck pumping him full of wolf venom. Rebekah picked up a passed out Eve and took her away. Not without having to snap the neck of a female vampire attempting to finish off Eve first. Elijah looked for Christoph but it appeared he was long gone. He took out his rage on dark haired baby vamp. He smiled as he pulled out his heart. The baby vamp reminded him of the elder Salvatore brother.
Klaus, Tyler and Elijah had managed to kill 7 of Christoph's men. Klaus was fuming. He immediately pulled out his cell phone and rang Hayley. He demanded that Jackson so send a few wolves to the compound. He was going to war and he needed soldiers. Not even giving her a chance to respond he hung up the phone. Klaus Turned towards Tyler. "You need to go check on Eve. If I were you I would not compel her. She is a target now. She needs to be on her toes and prepared in case she is attacked again but I assume you already know that."
Tyler glared at Klaus. It wasn't one of anger. It was a glare of fear. Klaus knew exactly what Tyler was thinking without him having to say it out loud. "You should convince her to let a few of your and Marcel's guys patrol her house. It would be smart if you stayed there as well. I'll leave it up to you to work out the details. Although I'm sure Elijah would enjoy her company if you let her stay here." Klaus told Tyler with a pat on his shoulder. "You're right" Is all Tyler replied with. Walking off he knew exactly where Rebekah had taken Eve. I was the room when he would stay over at the compound.
"How is she?" he asked.
"Well, I fed her some of my blood. She hasn't woke up yet. I think she is suffering from exhaustion, and a possible concussion. We will not know until she wakes up though. Just give her a little time. I'm sure she will wake up with tons of questions." Rebekah answered with a sympathetic look.
"Well she needs to be cleaned up. Do you think you can manage?"
"Oh Tyler don't be so modest. Your scent is still all over her. Are you sure you don't want to clean her up?" Rebekah answered with a mischievous grin. "Really Rebekah? You are going to joke at a time like this?" He motioned towards Eve asleep on the bed. "Don't get you knickers in a bunch dog, I was just kidding."
"Yea well now is not the time to 'kid'. Get her cleaned up I will be back in an hour."
Rebekah rolled her eyes. Who did the 'dog' think he was bossing her around? It's not like she wasn't going to get Eve cleaned up. She just didn't appreciate him telling her to do it.
About an hour later Tyler was back at the compound. He really wanted Eve to wake up. They had a lot to talk about. In the back of his mind he couldn't forget the steamy little kiss they shared. Yea horrible time to be thinking about kissing her but it was just that good. He wasn't done with her and he wasn't sure if he was ever going to be. Wait a minute, he said to himself. He was moving a little bit too fast. Planning a little too far ahead when he wasn't even sure if Eve was going to be okay with the whole I'm a Hybrid and pretty much everyone I know is a supernatural being. He had seen it before. A lot of people didn't want to deal with the drama. Would she?
Eve awoke with a ponding headache. She looked around the dimly lit room and panicked. Where was she? She jumped out of the bed and ran over to the window. She saw a few men she didn't recognize walking around outside. Think Eve think. She whispered to herself. It all came flooding back to her. She ran to the adjoining bathroom. Touching her neck she searched for bite marks. Was she going crazy? She looked down at her clothes. How the hell did I get into my pajamas and robe? She asked herself. Turning around she decided to leave the bedroom. Opening the door and tying her robe closed she walked down the hallway towards voices. She remember being held hostage and vomiting. After that she didn't remember anything. She said a silent prayer and hoped that the voices she heard weren't her captives. Pushing open the double doors she felt a wave of relief wash over her. Then fear again. Tyler looked up locking eyes with Eve. He heard her heart start to race. Before he could speak Elijah beat him to it. "Eve, so nice of you to join us. How are you feeling?" She couldn't answer. Her eyes just bounced around the room hoping someone else would just start talking so she didn't have to.
Sensing her apprehension Elijah offered her a seat. "I know that you have a lot of questions and we will answer them all. We will be completely honest with you. So if you can ask then please proceed." Eve hesitated. What did she want to ask first? She didn't know where to begin. Then it came, almost as quickly as her vomit did earlier "what the fuck is going on" she said just above a whisper. The room visibly tensed. Tyler finally spoke up. "You were attacked by a vampire. I am a Hybrid, which means I'm a vampire and a wolf Klaus is the Original or rather first Hybrid. Rebekah Kol and Elijah are also Vampires."
Eve was listening. She was processing. There was no point in getting all upset about it or questioning it. She had seen and felt with her own eyes Tyler was speaking the truth. So the only next logical thing she could say was "Thank you." Tyler looked dumbfounded. "I know you guys probably expected me to flip out and ask a lot more questions, but I'm not. I am saying thank you because you didn't have to save me. You didn't have to put any value on my life but you did and you don't even know me. I don't know what exactly being a vampire or a hybrid entails." She said that part looking at Klaus "or if you are murderers or saints. I just am grateful and appreciative and forever in your debt that you saved me. I haven't really ever been saved before. It's good to know there are some decent people well in your case vampires" she said with a light chuckle "left in this world"
For the first time in a long time Klaus was speechless. She was right. He was expecting her to freak out then having to compel her to calm the fuck down but it wasn't necessary. He could tell by the sound of her heart that she was calm and telling the truth. "Eve as long as you choose we will protect you. No one had ever in the 1000 years that I have been alive has ever been so accepting of my family, after a night of murder and failed kidnapping. You should know no harm shall come to you. I know you probably have a lot more questions. Questions I'm sure Tyler can answer. Why don't you walk her back upstairs?" Eve nodded her head and Tyler stood up reaching out his hand for Eve to take. She obliged him. Bidding everyone a goodnight Tyler led her down the hallway. To her surprise they walked in a comfortable silence.
Once back in Tyler's room, He took a seat near the balcony and Eve had a seat on the bed. Tyler began to speak but Eve cut him off. "You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to feel like you owe me anything, I know we were just about to hook up before all the chaos happened. I'm a big girl I don't need the morning after pep talk" She said with a little sadness in her voice. Tyler laughed. "Do you really think that less of me? I know we don't know each other that well but it doesn't mean I am not interested in you. For your information it just wasn't going to be a hookup. I like you Eve. I find you attractive and I also don't understand why you would assume the worst of me." He said with desire in his voice "Do you think you don't deserve attention?" Eve looked away. She was unsure how to answer that questions. Of course she thought she deserved attention. But did she really need it at the moment? She didn't come here to be involved. She came here to start over and clear her mind. She had a lapse in judgement and she was just about to tell Tyler that when he stopped her. "Look Eve. I don't know shit about you. But if you think that 2 people can't have a connection no matter the time period of them meeting then it says a lot about the way you have been treated in the past. I am a lot of things but asshole isn't one of them. So before we go any further on what 'that' was down stairs. You need to figure out what it is you want" Tyler finished while walking into the bathroom in a hurry slamming the door behind him. He was pissed. No his feelings were hurt. He laughed internally. Feelings. Where in the hell did they come from? He rubbed the 3 day old stubble on his face and decided to take a shower.
Eve heard the shower turn on. Damn did he just tell her off in a not so mean but stern way? She chuckled. What the hell was she getting herself into? She was drawn to Tyler. She would be lying if she said that she wasn't interested in being intimate with him. However was she ready for what he was offering her? What exactly was he offering her? Continuous sex as friends or even a relationship. Fuck it she thought. Whatever happens, happens. She wasn't going to give it any more thought. She was going to just go with the flow and pray she didn't get hurt again. He was right. She needed to figure out what she wanted. In that moment she decided she wanted him.
20 minutes later a clean Tyler stepped out of the bathroom only to find a sleeping Eve curled up under the Duvet. He never really liked the décor in the room but seeing Eve's rich brown skin on the teal colored blankets made him realize just how pretty she was. He even realized that maybe he was starting to have feelings for her. Well more than just lust because for the past week, that's all he was feeling. Deciding he didn't want to bother her, he grabbed the throw blanket at the foot of the bed and laid down on the couch. "You know this is your room from what I can tell. I think we are both grown enough to share a bed, don't you think?" Tyler froze in his tracks. Damn she called him out. Two could definitely play that game. "I didn't want you to think I was trying to take advantage of you." Eve laughed. "Are you kidding me? Come on lay down. The last thing I was thinking was you were going to take advantage of little old me." She said with a sly grin. Tyler didn't hesitate to make his way over to the opposite side of the bed. This is why he was drawn to Eve. Her ability to make him smile. It wasn't always easy smiling for him. He was always in the middle of some supernatural bull shit. Since meeting Eve almost a week ago she had managed to keep a smile there planted on his face. "You know Tyler I don't know what I'm getting myself into being around you. All the alarms are going off in my head. However I can't help but feel a sense of peace when I'm near you. I don't know what that means for us but I really would like for us to continue to be closer. If its friends or lovers I am open to both" Eve said with Smile. Tyler leaned over and kissed her forehead. She absolutely loved third eye kisses. She shuddered. Tyler pulled her closer and Eve laid her head down on his bare chest. "You should get some more sleep Eve. We have a lot to talk about in the morning."
"Okay" was all she managed to say before sleep overcame her. The last thing she remembered was Tyler rubbing her back lulling her to sleep.
