Thank you very much for your reviews, it's always nice to have a feedback. As you can see in this chapter, the storyline is going to be very different than in Vampire diaries. Please let me know what you think.

Chapter 9

Night of the hunter

Virginia 2010

It had finally happened. The curse was broken. Klaus had never felt more alive. The irony in that was truly amusing. Klaus smiled when he caught another human and sank his fangs into her neck. It was fun when they ran.

"Isn't that enough already brother?" Elijah asked coldly.

Klaus licked his lips and let the woman's body fell to the ground.

"I'm just getting started."

There were still at least four campers trying to run from him.

"Why don't you join me brother? I don't mind sharing."

"No thank you", Elijah replied.

"Suit yourself", Klaus said and searched a new snack.

They were all running in panic. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't see in the dark woods. He could. Almost too easy. Klaus was hoping some more challenge but right now he would take what he would get. Life was good after all. He had killed a vampire, a werewolf and the doppelganger. No more annoying restrictions for him. He was finally a hybrid. Unfortunately he had also lost Maddox but he was just a collateral damage. When he would be done here, he would use all his time and energy for finding his girl. Then everything would be perfect. It shouldn't take too long since he had made a deal with Elijah. He had agreed to help Klaus if he would get their siblings back. That was a fair trade. Klaus didn't have anything to fear from any of them anymore. Elijah could play house with them if that was what he wanted. But first things first, they would find Zora together. One of the campers was hiding behind a fallen three. How cute.

"Boo!" Klaus said before he killed him.

Elijah rolled his eyes but he didn't say anything.

"Isn't this fun? You and I hunting together just like old times."

"More like me cleaning up your mess. Just like old times", Elijah said coldly.

"Oh come on, loosen up already! Live a little!"

"All I want is you to keep your end of our deal."

"And I will I already gave you my word. Don't pout Elijah, it doesn't suit you. You made the right decision. Or did you really think that those little brats and their witch friend would have had a chance against me?"

"I suppose not", Elijah said. "But you do know that gave Josef my word that I would keep an eye on his daughter and help her if possible. I don't think handing her over to you is helping her."

Klaus looked at his brother.

"Don't tell me that you have second thoughts about our deal."

Elijah hesitated.

"You are already a hybrid. Isn't that enough?"

"No Elijah, it's not. She belongs to me."

"She has already spent her whole life running from you! Can't you just let her have a normal life?"

Klaus laughed.

"Normal life? You can't be serious. How could she ever have a normal life? And besides you make it sound like I would be some kind of monster."

Elijah raised an eyebrow and looked at the body on the ground.

"You know what I mean. I will be good to her, I promise you. Happy now?"

Elijah didn't say anything.

"Good. Now it's time to pick up some more fast food. Get it, fast food?"

"Yes, very amusing, brother", Elijah murmured.

He watched his brother disappearing to the woods. Elijah truly hated himself at that moment. He prayed that he was doing the right thing. But family was family. He had to get them back. Hopefully he could also help that poor girl. She probably hated him anyway. Elijah was still ashamed. He had definitely handled things badly with her. Well, that didn't matter anymore. He had lost her tracks after that fiasco in Illinois. He had actually been in a bar fight with werewolves. Elijah couldn't help but smile. That was kind of amusing. And definitely a new experience for him. Elijah wasn't sure what he felt about his brother. Klaus hadn't really changed very much. Elijah had hated his brother so long because he had thought that Klaus had taken their siblings from him. Now… he really wasn't sure. Hopefully this co-operation with him wouldn't be completely unbearable experience.

"Marco…. Polo!"

Elijah shook his head. Apparently Klaus still liked to play with his food. Elijah wasn't sure how far away he was.

"Come on Elijah! I saved the last one for you!"

"No thank you!"

"Buzzkill!"

Elijah rolled his eyes. His brother was like a child in a sweetshop. He needed someone who calmed him down a little. Elijah had been that someone for a long time. Now it seemed that he had to be that person again.
