Chapter 16:
They drove up the deserted road in silence. Kristina's stomach turned as she recognized the road sign, they were getting closer.
He wanted to make more hybrids. The idea itself was so absurd but now thinking back, it seemed so obvious. This didn't excuse the facts of the matter, though; more of him meant more enemies for her. She already had a solid list of people that hated her existence; she didn't need it to double in size.
"Love, if looks could kill." Niklaus chuckled lightly as he shifted in the driver's sit. He face, except for his scruff on his upper lip and his chin, had not change in the slightest since 1467.
"Damn. Their goes my hopes of you just dropping dead miraculously." Kristina said sarcastically, pulling on the iron cuffs that held her right hand to the car handle. At least their not coated with wolvesbane, Kristina thought.
A grin escaped Stefan's lips. For the time she was able to observe Stefan, this was the first time her presence had made a visible affect on the lost vampire. Her attention seemed to be lost for a moment and before she could stop her curiosity, it got the best of her.
"You don't remember me, do you?" Her voice was softer as she looked at the deeply disturbed man on the back seat.
The car was silent for the longest time but both Niklaus and Stefan had heard her, she was sure of it.
Kristina twisted in her seat till she was facing Stefan through the black leather seat. They locked eyes and his softened as did hers.
"In Chicago. You where their?" Stefan said his eyes reflecting the past memories that troubled his mind.
"Was she their." Nik mutter with a sarcastic tone, Kristina ignored it and kept staring at Stefan. All she needed to do was touch him and she would know his whole story, absolutely everything. It would answer her detailed questions perfectly.
"You tried to kill me." Stefan said his eyebrows netted and his hazel eyes narrowed into her grey ones.
"You made a big splash in my radar." She said frowning slightly while Niklaus grinned. "I was hired by the family of Amelia Crawford and Ernest Taylor. My goal was to put the target in a coffin but as you know complication arose." She said glaring at Nik as she said complications.
Niklaus face became stone solid. He didn't like being reminded of that terrifying event in his life. He had almost lost his life and his sisters. Worst of all, that night he had encountered his closest call with Mikael.
"Kristina Timandi." She said put stretching her hand out politely. Kristina almost patted her on the back on her genius idea of getting Stefan to touch her. He laughed slightly at her gesture but took it kindly.
It was like a train filled with memories hit her. Everything seemed to be flashing before her eyes. Kristina quickly let go of Stefan's hand and sat back down quietly as she sorted the his memories in her mind.
Throughout his 180 years of memory, Katharina seemed to pop up in most and in the most resent ones. They kissed and shared longing moments in each other arms till she finally understood that it was Katharina's doppelgänger, named Elena. Some were of Damon, his brother, if she was correct. It was all a waste. None of Stefan's memories seemed to help her with the situation she was in till the very end. The memories where fear filled and sorrowful this time, they where more in detail. There was a sacrifice-taking place with three rings of fire holding the three most accentual supernatural beings in the world: a werewolf, a vampire and the doppelgänger. The wolf was the first to go down, then the vampire and lastly the doppelgänger. She felt over come by the emotion of this memory. She felt pain in her heart and body as she watched Niklaus drain Elena clean. As Elena collapsed to the rock below, Kristin felt her own surge of pain explode from her insides. It was her own pain; she wasn't connected to Stefan's emotions anymore.
The slight tap on her arm brought her mind back to the horrible reality. Kristina locked eyes with the man that had disrupted her concentration.
Nik saw it. He knew those unforgettable eyes. They screamed to his inside and made his body almost cripple at the memories of pain they brought him. Yes, he had once thought those eyes would be the last thing he would ever see. They had hurt him beyond repair and brought a new mean of fear to his mind.
The white and pupil of the eyes were camouflage completely by a dull silver color with specs of golden topaz.
Nik most certainly knew those eyes, they where her witch eyes. They indicated when she was at her high of one being. Fully grey was noticeable when she used a lot of magic and the deep rich topaz eyes with a grey tiny was her wolf aspect.
Kristina didn't break her eye contact with the hybrid; those eyes brought new meaning to Stefan's memories.
This time she was in a cozy apartment. Kristina was anchored to the bar stool as she observed the two males talking. One was defiantly Niklaus but the other was to far hidden by Niklaus' broad shoulders. All she could see of the other man was that he had straight brown hair and wore a suit.
Her eyes widened as she digested the quick movement of Nik. He had drawn an old rusty steel-looking dagger and plunged it into the man's heart. As the man collapsed to the floor, already turning grey and veiny, she saw eyes that she though lost for all eternity. They where somewhat of a hazel but had a strong tint of emerald green and just like that her mind was once again pulled back to the present.
"We're here." Klaus's voices rung with excitement and deep desire, it made her cringed slightly.
She got out of the car, her hands still clasped together by the strong metal of the cop cuffs. Her surroundings were the same as she remembered, tall tress surrounding all around, the dirt filled with life laid everywhere and the pure natural energy force radiated off of the biology. Though, something was strangely off. The smell was different.
Yes, Kristina smelt the strong presents of pine and dirt and the morning dew on the grass but that all masked the odor she looked for. She was waiting for the smell of her pack in the higher forest floors but it wasn't carried with the breeze. Instead of the familiar aroma of her pack, she smelt the fragrance of other wolf-like beings.
"Shall we, love?" Klaus said placing a hand on her lower back. Kristina gave him a disgusted look and walked up to Stefan's side. The bloodsucker didn't need to more smug then he already was.
-(Minutes later)-
"You ok?" Niklaus said directing his question to Stefan, who had not said a word the whole walk up the smoky mountains like Kristina. "Ray getting to heavy for you?" The smirk playing on his lips indicated he cared nothing about Ray's weight but only sought out an opportunity to play with his head.
"I'm fine." Stefan said. Kristina fell right behind his footsteps, not saying a word. The pack was unfamiliar to her and the knot in her stomach gave away some of it's tension. Kristina should have been over joyed that Ray gave Nik a different location but the fact that she would lose any brother and sisters of the moon still sank deep in her heart.
"You sure about that? We have been walking for quiet sometime now. If you need some water or a little sit down than." Nik said in a sarcastic but somewhat serious voice.
"I get that we're stuck together but can we just maybe skip the chit chat? That would be great." Stefan said dryly, that remark brought a slight smile the Kristina's rose lips.
"So much bruiting, that self loathing is suffocating you, my friend." Nik said bitterly.
"Maybe its because I'm tired of haunting werewolves. We have been at it all summer." Stefan said. Kristina's eyebrows netted. All summer? She thought.
"Thanks to our pal Ray we found ourselves a pack." As the words escaped Nik's mouth Kristina's eyes became wide with horror. It wasn't an average pack they had found. No it was one of the big ones. The ones that brought their loved ones alongside with them as they traveled, the ones that were family to one another. It was almost heart braking to envision what Niklaus had planned.
Stefan brought Ray's still concussions body down to the ground with a thud; Kristina tightened her lips at the maltreatment of a fellow wolf. A girl came rushing to his aid; she was one of the unlucky ones.
"Who are you?" She said her voice steady but her lips quivered like a child.
"The important question is who am I. Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus." Nik said interrupting.
"You're the hybrid." She stated getting up wearily. Kristina was a little baffled at her statement. Was she the only wolf who wasn't told about a hybrid being created?
"You've heard of me." His voice oozed with delight and excitement. "Fantastic."
Kristina never left her place from the outskirts of the camp lines; this was too unreal. She had witnessed Ray gasped for air like he had just been on the verge of drowning.
Niklaus and Stefan's mouth moved but she didn't care to listen or make out the words. In less then a minute the human boy was thrown to the ground with a bite mark in her left arm and Nik had the girl that had recognized Ray by the throat. Once he had feed her his own blood and snapped her neck like a twig, the same routine went to the rest of them.
She should have known his intentions; she should have sought him out once she had dealt with Mikael, to finish what she had started. If so this would have never happened, all the wolves on the ground lifeless were waiting to be woken and to be sentenced to their deaths with a startled grasp for air. Poor Ray would be the first to go.
Before Kristina knew what she was doing she was face to face with Ray, his green eyes seemed blood shot and his body trembled furiously.
"You will be forgiven." Kristina said her voice sweet as spring, she rested a hand on his cheek as tears rolled down his fearful eyes. He gave an understand nod but it didn't decrease the speed of the tear trial down his pasty cheeks.
Every werewolf had uncertainties with their death. They had taken a life and been bestowed the burden of being supernatural. Dying was different for them, dying seemed lonely and cruel for the supernatural. If they would be given peace, was under the control of the other side. Depended on the life they carried and the choices they made and the people they affected.
Kristina knew the spirits from the other side. They were as heartless as the demons that walked this earth spreading terror and death, but Ray need the comfort. Every werewolf here would need it.
Blood flowed down Ray's eyes like a stream of tears; this was a side affect to the death with Klaus' blood.
"That shouldn't be happening." Stefan said as Kristina backed off to reveal Ray's face.
"Well, obviously." Nik snapped, clenching his jaw slightly.
"You said it was going to feel better. Why doesn't it feel better?" Ray stuttered staring at Kristina for the answer but he knew she didn't have it.
Her eyes shifted slightly to the topaz sparked with silver, the full moon was rising by the minute. She gave him a slow blink and he dashed off with all the strength left in him, leaving an ear-smashing snarl behind him.
"Go get him." Klaus stated as he held the humans hand that was still blooding a lot.
"It isn't going to work." Kristina said. Her voice didn't seem to startle Nik. She hadn't talk to him since the weird longing stare in the car but he hadn't expected much under her circumstances.
He walked closer to her, pull her half way from the chain of her cuffs. Se stumbled into his chest but quickly stepped back and looks up at his shock blue eyes, half understanding. He was lonely, he was afraid and he felt weak. Kristina could blame him for wanting her dead; at this one point the feeling was mutual. He edged his face slightly closer to hers as his eyebrows netted and his jaw clenched and through his teeth he replied. "What would you know?"
"I know that she would have made it that easy for you." Kristina said her tone dangerously cold. He seemed taken back for a second till he heard a new voice gasping for air. It was the first wolf of the pack he had killed. Her hair was curly cropped short and a brownish black, but what truly caught Kristina's attention were her eyes. They a soft emerald green hidden by a tint of hazel that made her heart jump in speed.
Kristina shared those eyes with someone she missed deeply and she finally placed the name for the eyes he saw in Stefan's memories.
It came to her like a tsunami wave, one second she was staring at the ground and the next second her eyes were a strong topaz color as the anger set in.
"You bastard!" She growled as she felt her insides burn like fire and stretch till they ripped. Niklaus was on the guard, slightly on his toes. Ready to step aside.
"You killed him. After everything he did for you? He was your brother!" Kristina snarled, her emotions were in a high and she knew the moon was almost set in its familiar place at the high of the sky.
"One man's mistake another man's gain." Nik said coldly, he knew exactly who she was talking about and he was in no mood to deal with the past.
"Elijah was stupid to trust the world's foulest selfish creature." Kristina said before the pressure of the full moon took up her mind. She only shed one tear for her the lose of a friend before bursting into the servant of the moon.
