God I managed to complete it! I am not really proud on this chapter, it didn't seem to flow like it normally does but I promised to update and I thought more then a week without a update would be ridiculous. But it is an extra long one so I HOPE you will enjoy.

Some IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. I changed chapter 4. Why in the hell would I do that, you ask me. Well; J. D. Theron wrote me a review and that set some things into motion. She was confused as to Niklaus was already in Alaric's body and asked me when did that happen? I thought I had made that clear in chapter 4, but reading it back I can see how it might have not come through the way I wanted it to. So I re-wrote that part to make that more clear.
2.When I changed that, I started to ask myself 'CAN Niklaus, him being in Alaric's body, even heal people with his blood?' I have always been confused as to what powers and vampire characteristic stayed or disappeared when he changed bodies. Seen as he is able to compel people and seems to speed away after the scene in the cafeteria, but says to Maddox that he won't be able to beat Bonnie 'in this body' and seems powerless to Stefan in the Gilbert's kitchen. So I conclude no. He is not able to heal people with his blood and so I wrote that part out.
3. Because I wrote the healing part out of chapter 4, I added a part in chapter 5 meantioning that she is still hurt. That only seemed fair. THis one is really not worth rereading. It's just one sentence.
4. Re-watching the series had me have a good look at Klaus once again, realizing that the picture I found on internet of him must have been edited, since his eyes are some sort of green/greyish color. Not blue at all. So I changed that as well in every chapter.
5. I am so sorry for all the hassle. I changed it only slightly so real fan's can go re-read it, but it doesn't matter if you do not. It is mostly for people who just start the story that they read it right the first time around. Once again my apologies for being so amateuristic, I hope (but can´t promise) that it will not happen again.

CHAPTER 6: IN WHICH HANNAH MEETS DAMON AND NIKLAUS RETURNS

Hannah lets her head fall back as the water flows through her long hair, rinsing out all the soap. The only sound in the bathroom is the water splashing against the cream-colored tiles and Hannah sighs – almost happily. Her peaceful moment is interrupted when another, distant noise is heard. The sound of heels walking around on a wooden floor and – voices, although dulled through the walls and the sound of the shower. Niklaus can't be back already, he went away when she stepped into the shower and that can't me more than fifteen minutes ago. He said he was going to be away for a while, taking care of some last unfinished business before he could turn back into his own body. So who is in the house?
She looks at the shower panel, turning the shower off will only attract attention. If the visitors haven't notice the sound of another person being in the house yet they probably won't notice at all. Until she takes the noise away. Slipping out of the shower and quickly wrapping a towel around her body, Hannah believes she can hear somebody coming into the bedroom. Hiding behind the door she waits until it opens, swallowing as a woman steps into the bathroom. Must be a human, a vampire would have noticed her standing there already. Quickly closing the door behind the woman, Hannah steps in front of it as she turns in shock.
"Be still," Hannah compels her. The woman's mouth – open in surprise – closes slowly but surely.
"What are you doing in my bathroom? Speak softly," Hannah then asks, hoping that the shower will make enough noise to cover her voice if there really is a vampire in the house.
"I had to look who else is here," the woman voices monotone. Hannah lets out a quivering sigh. They cannot know she is here, nobody is supposed to know that she is here.
"Well what are you doing here in this house, in the first place?" That is what Klaus would want to know.
"We are here to check up on Katherine,"
"We? We who?" Hannah continues.
"Me and my boyfriend," the woman answers and Hannah needs to ask.
"What is your boyfriend?" The woman opens her mouth, ready to speak but seems to choke on her words.
"I can't say," the woman whispers, and Hannah knows enough.
"Stay here," she comments, quickly pulling on her socks, to make as less noise while walking as possible and hurries into the bedroom. The voices are more clear now, Katerina and somebody else. The boyfriend; the vampire, she assumes. Fortunately the door is still ajar and she can see Katerina with her back to her and a man in front of the door. Not invited in, Hannah thinks.
"Answer one question first," he bargains, Hannah hears him say in a nonnegotiable way.
"You double crossed us with Isobel, why?" Hannah searches his face, dark hair, blue eyes, and handsome features. She needs to remember that.
"I didn't think,-" she hears Katerina start to explain but does not stay to hear any more. She knows she doesn't have much time until the vampire will ask where his dearest girlfriend is staying. She sneaks back into the bathroom where the woman is looking around seemingly bored.
She grasps the woman's forearms, looking up a little since the woman is taller.
"You won't remember our conversation," she starts, seeing her going into trance in front of her. "Nobody else is in the house; you went into the bathroom to find it empty. The shower was running you tried to turn it off but you couldn't,-" Hannah articulates clearly, staring in the woman's eyes.
"Andie?" Hannah hears coming from afar and knows she has to hurry.
"I couldn't turn it off," the woman – Andie – repeats.
"The shower must be broken, if he asked what took you so long, you say you like the house." That was stretching it a bit far. Andie doesn't even look like a person who would be able to as much as tolerate this style of house interior – hell she herself didn't even like it – but with desperate times come desperate measures.
"I like the house," Andie speaks airily and it makes Hannah frown, this one is definitely not one of her best works, but it had to do.
"Go back to your boyfriend and tell him what I told you to." Hannah ends, and Andie turns to walk out of the bathroom. Hannah waits for a moment and then follows quickly; she is in time to hear Andie's answer. The man frowns for a moment but seems to believe her.
"Told you nobody's here." Katerina says, arrogantly. The man only stares at her.
"You owe me," he says and Hannah almost shivers from his intense voice. "And I will collect." Then he nods towards Andie. "Come on," and disappears out of sight. Hannah stands awkwardly close to the door opening for a while longer until her knees buckle and she drops to the floor with a loaded sigh. It worked; thank god it worked but how in heaven's sake will Klaus responds to this?

Hannah is staring at the dancing and drinking Katerina with a bemused expression. The music is annoying and Hannah wants to stop it – she already did, twice, actually – but since Katerina doesn't know it is Hannah who continuously turns of the music, she just turns it on again thinking the radio it just of crappy quality. Hannah finds the girl showing of her dancing skills outrageous, who holds a party all by themselves?
At that moment she sees Katerina freeze for a moment and then the girl sits on the couch looking sort of sulky the next moment Niklaus walks through the door. He slams the door closed behind him and Hannah already knows what time it is, she turns to the television. How in the world is she going to break the news to him if he is already pissed of like that? There is no way in hell she is going to live through this one without damages, Hannah frowns realizing that she didn't even get to ask the name of the other vampire. What was wrong with her?
She hears glass break and Alaric's voice trying to be icy and dominating, what not really works as much as it could have, if it had been Niklaus his own sound.
"Hannah?" She hears him call loudly and she moves up from the chair she was sitting in.
"I'm right here, no need to yell," she murmurs, looking at Katerina who seems spaced out. The compulsion working, she guesses. Niklaus looks her up, frowning.
"Something happened?" He asks and Hannah nods, sighing, better get it over with.
"Somebody came by, today," she says.
"What?" Niklaus says, the eyes of Alaric widen comically but Hannah doesn't feel like laughing.
"I was showering, he was a vampire and send his human girlfriend to look around; I compelled her to tell him the shower was broken, though. I believe he has no any idea of the fact that I was here." She hurried through the explanation, wanting to get to the good end before he could explode in rage of things not going his way.
"Well who was it? What did they want?" Niklaus demands, fuming.
"The woman told me they came to: 'Check up on Katherine,'. I think she meant Katerina? Her name was Andie, I forgot to ask his'," she ends, murmuring. The slap ticks her head to the left in a split second and the can feel her head reeling. Hannah grinds her teeth together to stop from crying and takes a moment to relax her ragged breathing.
"He had dark hair, looked real black and had unbelievably looking-straight-int0-your-soul blue eyes. He was quite handsome, wore a leather jacket. He had good taste," She manages to get out and she can see Klaus freeze. Before he can react further though, the door opens and Maddox comes walking through.
"Maddox! What took you so long?" He urges, pissed off. Maddox does not seem affected.
"You got a lot of luggage," he explains and people come walking in. Hannah walks off to the bathroom, not looking anybody in the eye. Before she closes the door behind her she can hear her voice and she feels the urge to puke, or punch something. The sweet way Niklaus is talking back drives her even crazier, one thing's for sure: she isn't going back into the living room with her cheek al messed up.
Hannah inspects her cheek in the mirror, it's a flaming kind of red and she is actually able to see the prints his fingers left when he backhanded her. She raises her hand to slightly touch the spot, the skin there feels hot and it hurts.
"It'll bruise like crazy," she murmurs to herself, the corners of her mouth turn down. Hannah leans her head against the cold mirror and she turns her head slightly to cool her cheek but hisses as the pressure makes her skin sting.
Not sure what to do now, she walks back into the bedroom and places herself on the bed, right in front of the closed door. Hannah falls back into the soft bedding with a soft sigh, is this how it will continue? Or will everything change after the ritual? Will Klaus stop caring and finally let her go? It isn't like she has it that bad with him. She has had a sort of normal youth – leaving out the fact that everybody around her was immortal and fed on blood – Niklaus is a rather nice person to be around, normally. He just has his moods, his moments, he is like a kid himself sometimes. A very spoiled one that is. If things do not go his way or when people disappointed him he can see red and do the cruellest of things. Hannah learned that the hard way but he cares. Hannah knows he does. He just can't show it because he has been protecting himself for over a thousand years. It is a habit to pretend to not care as to not show any weaknesses. To look strong and powerful, to be invincible.
Hannah her deep thoughts are interrupted by a constant chanting. She gets up from the bed slowly and opens the door almost silently. Maddox and Greta sit kneeled on the floor before an upright standing case, Niklaus or maybe she should say Alaric, stand next to it. He seems to waver for a moment and opens his eyes, looking straight a Katerina.
"Elena?" He close to murmurs and Hannah rolls her eyes. Dumbshit, Hannah can't help but think but is then distracted by Maddox who stands up to open the coffer and Klaus steps out. His blond fuzz looking hair, green-greyish eyes, sharp features and mischief looking smile he rises and Hannah can't help but smile, leaning against the doorpost.
Klaus feels victorious being back in his own body, he looks around noticing the teacher, fallen down, Katerina with her eyes wide in fear, Greta still on the floor looking at him with a admiring gaze, Maddox standing tall and relax and Hannah, leaning on the doorpost with a special smile on her face. One that is special for him, he knows. Even though he just slapped her and she is still standing there smiling his smile at him. He will never understand the teenager.
"Well let's clean this up, shall we?" He suggests, but walks away from the scene to leave it to the witches and walks to the bedroom where he sees Hannah disappear into. As he closes the door behind himself he sees the girl laying spread out on the bed, hurt cheek up. He can see it already starts colouring and it must seriously hurt her being (mostly) human and all.
"What are you doing here?" She drawls, she must be tired since her accent is mussing her words together. Just like when she was younger.
"Came to heal that cheek of yours," Hannah comes up a bit, leaning on her elbows.
"Is that so?" She asks, curious.
"Yeah, I should not have hit you but you know my temper," Klaus speaks, as sort of apology without really apologizing. She just nods, sitting up eagerly. It concerns him still and he really rather not do this but he finds it to be the best way of saying sorry. Just taking away the pain, he looks her up one more time and bits into his wrist. Hannah pushes her lips to the wound and sucks up the blood. It tastes quite like nothing else does and it sooths her throat even though it didn't hurt in the first place. Niklaus watches her with wary eyes, wondering if he will ever know what exactly makes her tick. She doesn't need his blood to survive, but ever since her terrible fall down the stairs she ends up hurt sometimes with this questioning look into her eyes. He barely ever gives her any though, not knowing what it will do. He brings his arm back to his chest quickly and thinks he sees some flash in her eyes, something... dark. But it's gone before he can really put a name to it and Hannah murmurs that she would like to sleep now, so he leaves her be. He needs to compel a teacher to send a message, anyway.

That was it again, everybody. Hope you liked it, it took me some effort =S

Until next time!

Love Lucky.
