I was a hunter, a killer, but not the kind you would think. I am a vampire hunter. I know you probably think I'm insane but they're real. I've always been strong in my belief's but than I met him and he turned my world upside down and inside out. Klaus/oc prequel to love and hate

My head pounded in the far to familiar feeling of a sudden painful impact. I forced my eyes open to observe the blurry, spinning room. My stomach gagged nauseously as I slowly tried to force myself up. "Well she's alive" a voice purred as I tensed looking up at the blurry figure in the dark room. My vision slowly started to clear as Nicklaus started to come into view.

"What happened" I mumbled as memories started to come back. As they flashed in front of me I tried to force myself up. I fell to the ground as my world spun and my stubborn legs gave out from under me.

"That's what I'd like to know love" he smirked down at me from what looked like a casket.

"Where am I" I asked as I remained still, mentally searching my body for the protective feeling of pressure on my body. I felt nothing as my hand instinctively felt along my empty back pockets.

"Looking for this" he smirked dangling a stack teasingly from his hand as I remembered something.

"I staked you" I stated as he smirked.

"That you did love. Good aim you got there" he confirmed with a smirk.

"I didn't work" remembered as I slowly tried to inch myself away from him.

"Never has with me sweat heart, and I wouldn't advise you trying it again" he continued to smirk arrogantly, eyes sparkling with the threat.

"What are you" I whispered eyes flashing around the dark, casket filled room before landing back at him.

"Unique love, unique" he stated standing up as I shifted barely, readying myself for the possible attack. I felt the reassuring pressure of my necklace still hanging from my neck. Would it work though? A stake clear through the heart barely slowed him down.

"You're not too common are you though love" he continued to speak, side turning on me, knowing I wasn't a threat. "A female hunter that actually knows what she's doing" he stated as I tensed slightly.

"You know what I am, so what are you" I asked back as he turned back to me.

"What were you doing in the morgue" he asked hands running along a casket calmly.

"I'm trying to find someone" I answered warily back watching his movement for any sign of aggression.

"Who" he asked not even looking over at me.

"His name's Daniel, Daniel Zinger" I answered as I questioned my sanity. How did I know he wasn't Daniel's goons. I don't know how I knew, but I knew. He held far too much power in his walk, his aura to be anyone's goon. If anything he had goons of his owns.

"Why" he asked glancing over at me when I hesitated.

"He tortured and kill my family and tried to kill me" I forced myself to answer not knowing what else to say.

"So you're hunting him" he asked thinking to himself.

"Yes" I answered unease suddenly tightening my muscles.

"I know what it's like, fighting for your life" he told me as I tensed not sure what to do.

"I staked you and it didn't work. If that can't work how would you know, you can't die" I asked surprised by my bravery.

"I can die, it's just not very easy" he shrugged, suddenly turning to me, eyes drilling into me. Without warning he was a blur, stopping inches in front of me. I forced myself to remain still, to not back down. If he was going to kill me he would have, right? "You're brave" he stated when I didn't back down, my heart barely stuttering.

"I'm not afraid of death, I've seen enough of it before" I stated back. Before I could react his hand was around my neck, slamming me against the wall. I reacted, my training becoming almost instinctive. My knee jammed into the soft tissue between his legs, as he grunted in pain dropping me as I slammed my fist into his chest. He stumbled back as I made a dart for what looked like the door. Arms wrapped around my waist as I was thrown aside, back slamming into the wall. Pain shot down my spin as my head spun. When my ears stopped ringing I heard him laughing.

"You're brave girl, very brave" he laughed as confusion hit me. Finally he stopped laughing as I he turned to me. "You intrigue me Liz. In my thousand and some odd years of life I've never met someone so strong, so loyal to your family." he stated eyes watching me. "You have no interest in other supernatural beings" he asked as I watched him.

"I'm not as invested as my parents were. I want Daniel dead, Daniel and anyone that helped him" I answered knowing what was about to happen.

"I can respect that" he nodded as I confusion continued to bubble within me.

"Thank you" I whispered in confusion forcing myself to my feet finger tightening around my necklace.

"I lost my family, and my friends. I am unable to kill the person that took mine away, but I can help you" he stated. "I give you my word I will help you kill this Daniel individual" he stated as shock almost toppled me over.

"Why" I asked fighting the gasp of air.

"Like a said my dear, you intrigue me" he smirked.
