"So this Klaus dude is a hybrid"
My fingers fiddled through one of the thousands of books Isaac and Damon had set out, surprisingly Isaac didn't seem upset by Damon's presence. To be honest, Damon didn't seem that bad of a guy, he's just a flirty charmer, but it was most likely an act.
"Yes, one of the most powerful out there"
Isaac and Damon continued to lay out more historic books to my side, occasionally opening to a page for me to read. I never thought I would be reading about the mythical creatures, the ones people feared and woke up from nightmares, much less be associated with two them that I currently know about. What if there's more? Who else could be a vampire or werewolf? It was such a secret within people, you didn't who it could be, which was the most frightful part.
"Wait how come a Damon can walk in the daylight, aren't vampires supposed to burn in the sunlight" Jumping onto the wooden table, I crossed my legs and rested my elbows onto my thighs while my eyes scanned the endless amounts of words in books.
"We have rings, that's how Klaus can walk trough the daylight and he's also a wolf too"
Nodding my head, my focus returned to reading but it was difficult due to the language barrier, most of these books were written in European languages and sadly all I know is English. My phone began to vibrate under my thigh as I pulled it out realizing it was 5:30 and Aunt Jen had reminded me of 'family' dinner.
"Guys I'll be right back" leaving the book room, I found my way into what seemed as the living room, pressing the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Kara, where are you?! Everyone's here"
"Sorry Jen, I got held up at school there's this homecoming dance on Friday and Kat asked me to help her"
"It's fine, but c'mon hurry up"
"I will, I will"
Hanging up the phone quickly, I began to make my way back into the book room when a peculiar photograph caught my eye. There they were, the two boys with an older couple (the parents most likely). They hadn't changed much except Damon, he had curly locks like Isaac but other than that they had the same faces.
"Sorry guys but I gotta head out," Reaching down to grab my bag, I felt as if a million eyes were on me, making my cheeks become Rosie pink.
"I'll walk you out"
Nodding Isaac, I shyly smiled and waved at Damon as Isaac made his way over hurriedly. Placing his palm on my lower back, Isaac walked me throughout the massive home and out to my car, even opening the door for me.
"Look Kara, you call me if anything happens, alright?"
Biting my lower lip, my lips began to curve into a smile as my fingers pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. I could feel his eyes gazing down at me and the usual smirk imprinted on his lips.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow"
Looking up at him, I stepped into the driver seat while he shut the door stepping back slowly muttering 'tomorrow'. Turning on the engine, I hit the button for the radio as I pulled out slowly, Isaac's presence still in the driveway. I found it 'cute' that he walked me out, it was genuine and sweet as my mother use to say. Taking one last glance at him, I quickly sped off towards my house, unprepared for the earful I would receive from Jen after all our guests leave the dinner party.

Shutting off the ignition, I stepped out and shoved the car keys into mr purse, slamming the door afterward. Sighing I began to step onto the steps to the porch when someone presence made me turn round. A man, about the age of Damon's with blond scruffy hair and bright green eyes stood in front of me. Dressed in a navy blue long sleeve snug shirt and a tight black jeans he stepped closer with a sinister-like grin.
"Who are you?"
"Don't you know, dear. I sent you a letter this morning, didn't you get it?"
Klaus.
My heart began to race rapidly when I tried to swallow the lump in my throat. The sound of a door knob rattling made us both look back, aunt Jen came out her tone instantly changing once she realized I wasn't alone.
"Kara...and company"
"Hi Jen"
"Is this the Isaac guy"
Looking to my left I didn't realize Klaus was immediately to my side, his finger applying pressure to my wrist as the seconds went by that I didn't answer.
"Uhm yeah, yeah I didn't know he would come here"
"Well darling, you must've forgotten that you invited me earlier"
Applying more pressure
"Of course, yes I just get so caught up"
"Oh well then, come in Isaac, it's a pleasure to meet you"
Walking in ahead of me, Jen pulled me aside into the stairway corridor while Klaus continued to walk in, but I knew he was listening in.
"Next time tell me it's you + 1"
Knowing I couldn't fully explain,at all, what was going on, I knew I needed to become an actress for the night. Leaving the corridor with Jen, I began to greet the familiar and introduce Klaus, as Isaac my 'Friend'.
Sitting all around the wooden table, we all munched on the food Jen prepared. Maybe if Klaus wasn't beside me, manipulating everything say, I would enjoy the evening more.
"Well I've had a wonderful evening getting to know Kara's family but sadly I must return to mine, thank you Jen the food was absolutely delicious"
Ugh. I nearly gaged after every word he spoke, but I just kept to myself and rolled my eyes continuously.
"Kara, why don't you walk your guest out"
Sending a shy smile to the group of people, I stood up slowly and joined Klaus at the door, shutting it behind me. I found myself praying the Hail Mary inside my head as the seconds went on, I was just waiting until he would attack.
"Kara, did your little boy toy, or shall I say boy toys, explain to you why I'm here"
Crossing my arms over my chest, I bit lip nervously as I nodded my head insinuating 'no'.
"Well let me just explain then," grasping my neck into his grip, he slammed me against the wall, as my heart raced rapidly,"I came to lift up the curse, and do you know how I have to do that"
"N-no"
"I need to kill you as part of it"
Slamming me harder against the wall, I began to cry hysterically as his grip hardened on my neck. Why me? Why am the chosen one?
"LET HER GO KLAUS"
Isaac came rushing over his eyes bloody red as my body quickly dropped to the floor like a rag doll. I felt my skin tearing off as I hit the floor, the aching pain already beginning.
"Oh look the boy toy comes to the rescue, too bad I was just heading out, nice to see you Isaac, your catching up to your brothers looks, say hello to Damon for me"
I watched as he disappeared into the thick fog that clothed the Forrest floor, that eerie feel traveling all around me.
"Hey you okay?"
Isaac's comforting touch was felt on my waist, his thumb ran circles on my exposed skin due to my scrunched up long sleeve top. Ruffling around my hair, Isaac helped me up as I tousled around before finding my balance.
"Uhm yeah, just my legs cut up a bit"
Lifting up the right side of my jeans, I looked down to the bloody mess that was dripping down my leg. The sight of blood always grossed me out, it scared me to be honest. Blood always meant something bad if you really think about it.
"We should get you cleaned up"
"Aunt Jen can't see me or the rest of the family to be exact"
"Can't you get in through somewhere else"
"The bay window in my bedroom, probably"
Looking up at the two story home, my feet wobbly trailed over to the side view of the house where half of my window was visible. Luckily there was a ladder but somehow Isaac insisted he didn't need a ladder.
"Kara hold on to me, tightly" wrapping my arms securely around him, Isaac jerked upward, landing at the flat roofing just below my window. Pushing the window upwards, Isaac first tip toed inside before gently getting me inside as well.
While closing the window silently, my feet lingered over to the door where my curiously decided to take over. The constant chattering from downstairs was an entertainment to me.
"She's gotten so beautiful"
"She's looks just like Anne"
"And Jonah, your so big and handsome"
"Ah these kids are so beautiful and good"
I found myself smiling at the positive comments, it was rare that I was ever complimented. I wasn't anything special really, I had straight brown hair, dull green eyes, and a petite frame with a height of 5'7.
"Alright you ready"
Isaac husky voice brought me back to reality, I was just nearly attacked by a hybrid, my leg is all cut up, and I'm in contact with a werewolf and vampire. Good, eh?
Setting myself on my bathroom counter, Isaac began to gently clean up my wounds while he silently chuckled out loud.
"What?"
"Nothing's it's just, I'm always cleaning up your bloody messes"
"Well, I guess, I rather have you than someone else clean them"
Setting the wash cloth to my side, Isaac lifted himself off his knees and bent down to my eye level, knuckles resting on the counter as we gazed intently into each other. There was a silence between us, it wasn't awkward but pacifying. Shifting his head downward my fingers found themselves on his prominent jawline, lifting up his head. His crystal blue eyes never looked so precious and beautiful, it was like a sea of sapphire gems.
Biting my lip nervously, my thumb continued to draw invisible circles on Isaac's checkboxes, I had never had such a real moment with him, it was uncalled for and unimaginable.
I felt our foreheads press together while each others silent breathing could be heard in the loud silence. Both our eyes began to shut tightly while our heads moved in slow motion. Lips on lips, they moved in sync slow and gentle at first until we both became passionate. His large palms rested on my waist while my arms wrapped around the crook of his neck, twirling his curls in between my fingers tips.
My thoughts were still numb to what was happening, I promised myself to try to not fall harder for Isaac but my plan all came to an end when I felt the gentle touch of his lips.
