It was only two years later that Lucia went through one hell of a growth spurt that made her nineteen-twenty.

Niether Klaus nor Claudia had expected their daughter to reach full maturity at just seven, almost eight years old. There was nothing left of that little girl growing up, only the photos and videos that they had took told the tale. It was unnerving.

Claudia woke up with a yawn, raising a hand and rumpling up her hair as she sat up in bed two years later, wondering what had woken her up, but she had a good idea what it was.

So, she silently slipped out of the bed, leaving Klaus fast asleep as she made her way down the stairs to the living room, peering through the crack of the door and felt her eyes roll at the sight of her daughter on the sofa with a young man, biting into his neck amoung other things.

Claudia stepped back now and went back upstairs, letting out a low sigh as she did so-

Lucia had truly changed from that little girl. She was a fully fledged predator now with a deadly streak that matched her fathers. Between everything else, she was most likely to be seducing human men, sleep with them and kill them in the morning.

"Morning." Klaus said, eyes closed as Claudia got back into bed. She sighed. "She's at it again."

"Ah, let her."

"Let her screw some guy on the sofa and let his blood stain everything?"

He opened his eyes now and growled quietly. "Not again-" then got up, yanking on his dressing gown and stormed off downstairs. Claudia rolled her eyes as she heard the argument- Klaus and his daughter got on like a house on fire, but they did have their arguments sometimes. Mainly about Lucias careless ways.

Then again, she didn't care.

When he came back up, she could see the annoyance in his features.

"Ahh, come on." she sighed, grabbing his arms and pulling him onto her, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately for a moment.

Klaus chuckled now, kissing her neck. "Shall we have a family meal again tonight?"

"Hmm... yeah, that little town up the road looked rather nice. As long as Lucia doesn't nab all the hot guys again."

"Oh I just want the pretty little young women."

"Better not be for something else."

The Original snorted, raising a hand and brushing the hair from her eyes. "Sweetheart, I would never."

Claudia just raised an eyebrow, making him groan. "Ok, ok. Guilty." Then she scoffed and flipped them over so she could say in his ear. "It's a good job we're not married, or I'd personally stalk you."

He smirked, then kissed her once more, but before it could go any further, the bedroom door was pushed open, accompanied by an-

"Urgh, I think we need a new sofa."

Klaus growled under his breath, then sat up and turned around to his daughter. "Do you mind?"

Lucia shrugged, then scoffed. "You tell me off for hooking up, yet here you both are!"

"We're your parents, theirs a difference."

"Not much. I'm still sure you raped mom."

Claudia chuckled now, then pushed Klaus off, the moment ruined. "He didn't rape me, Lucia. I assure you."

"Urgh, I don't want the details thanks." the young woman snorted, walking over to the windows and pulling the curtains back. Claudia took in her daughters appearance now- tall, slender, truly beautiful with long slightly curly brown blonde hair like her fathers, but her eyes had always been that same deep dark sapphire from birth. She was so much like her father in terms of violence, always opting for the more bloodier method, finding it funny. She preyed on men frequently, leaving their drained bodies over the house, making her parents scold her for being so untidy.

But then again, neither parent could truly complain. They'd done it time and time again... no wonder she'd picked up the little trait.

Lucia had no patience for love. Quite frankly, she didn't see just why her parents were together. Sure, they were her parents and as bloodthirsty as each other, but she didn't understand that bond they had between them.

She'd never truly felt love before.

-FORSAKEN-

Lucia woke up later that day between her two newest hook-ups, then frowned, wondering why the house was so quiet. Her parents always kept her nearby. And daddy was always the one to keep an eye on her the most.

Oh, she knew what she was. A hybrid, part werewolf and vampire like her father, but even he had been surprised to find her stronger than himself when she pinned him to the wall by his throat when he wouldn't let het go out.

She got up, leaving the pair in bed as she walked through the house, listening for someone else, but there was no one in. She thought-

Lucia walked into the living room and found her mother sat there, reading with a glass of blood in her hand, taking a sip as she watched.

"Where's dad?" she asked, stepping forwards and sitting down next to her.

Claudia sighed. "Breakfast." then turned her page over. Lucia sighed. "I'm sorry I'm such a bitch all the time."

Now Claudia chuckled. "You take after your father on that."

"I don't know whether that's an insult or not."

"Hey- I love your father."

"He's a thousand year old freaky dog."

"Maybe, but he's your father."

Lucia was silent, then sighed. "I'm off to find him. Want a bite?"

"I'm good thanks Sweetie."

Lucia smiled, then leaned forwards and hugged her mother for a moment, then said. "I do love you mom. You know that right?"

Claudia took her daughters face in her hands and chuckled. "Sweetie... you're eight years old biologically."

"And? I'm special. One of a kind remember? Let daddy-o knock you up again and rinse and repeat."

"You are such a pain sometimes."

"And loving it!"

"Ok, get out and find dad already."

Lucia giggled and kissed her moms cheek, then was gone in a flash.

-FORSAKEN-

It didn't take her that long to find him- follow the screams.

The little town up the road was in total panic as the monster ripped through town, but now Lucia had joined in, there wouldn't be anyone left to panic.

"So- what happened to the family meal hmm?" she asked, pushing a body away with a foot as she walked towards her father who had a young petite woman in his arms, biting into her neck.

"I got bored." he chuckled, letting the girl drop onto the floor, turning to her. "I'm sure there's another town nearby we can attack instead."

"Control yourself for five minuets?"

"Where's the fun in that?"

Lucia chuckled, then let her father walk forwards and take her face in his hands. "Do you remember me telling you about Mystic Falls?"

"Of course. Duh (!)"

"Well..." he smirked.

"I have a job for you."

Well, like father like daughter? Looks like Mystic Falls is in trouble now with the newest not so little ripper on the way. Next up soon and reviews much loved! :D x Nicola
