Chapter 3

Even though Elena hadn't seen Rebekah in years the sound of her voice still got to her. She had a temptation to beat up Rebekah and reached out to slap her but was calmed by Tyler putting his hand on her shoulder. She immediately stopped and was thankful to have Tyler around to keep her calm.

Tyler answers Rebekah, "It's a long story and I'd only like to say it once to Klaus. By the way next time you upset my wife I won't stop her from beating you up."

"Wow. You and Elena. Crazy." Rebekah laughs and shakes her head in unbelievement. "I'll go get Nik." With that she walks back inside and disappears further inside.

After what seems like an extremely long wait Rebekah returns with Klaus at her side. "Rebekah tells me that you two would like to have a chat." Klaus says charismatically.

Elena, having recovered from Rebekah's insult, steps closer to Klaus and says, "Can we talk inside?"

"I see no reason why not, love." Klaus answers in a good mood.

Tyler and Elena follow Klaus and Rebekah back into the house. Once they are all settled in the formal living room Klaus is the first to ask, "What are you guys doing here in New Orleans?"

"I've triggered my werewolf curse once again. I had been trying my hardest to stay human but I guess I'm meant to be supernatural." Tyler tells Klaus and Rebekah.

Elena adds, "I know you can't make hybrids anymore but I figured you would know something that would help Tyler."

"Now why should I help Tyler? We've never had the best track record and you know that." Klaus reminds Elena and Tyler.

"I know that but what if we could find a way to make hybrids again." Elena says in a calm manner.

"The one dose of vampirism cure that we knew existed is gone. You're the one who shoved it down Katerina Petrova's throat. Maybe you should have thought that through." Klaus says.

"I was worried about what the cure would do to me. Now that we know that it causes a vampire to age the amount of years it's been since they became a vampire. I became a vampire at 18 and would only have to endure the aging of 8 years." Elena says.

"Elena, you forgot the part where you can never be a vampire again. Katherine was unable to turn when she was sick and died a human." Tyler reminds Elena.

"Then maybe my doppleganger blood will be enough to complete the transition for a hybrid." Elena says with a hint of determination in her voice.

"That's a big risk you'd be taking with Tyler's life but I'm willing to give it a shot." Klaus says as he approaches Tyler and prepares to bite his own wrist for Tyler to drink from.

"Maybe we don't have to take that risk." Elijah says as he walks into the room with a vile in his hand. "This vampire cure is side-effect free. I found the vial with a drop of cure for immortality left in it after Elena gave it to Katerina. A witch was able to replicate it and improved it allowing a vampire to become a human and then return to their vampire state once more and it also no longer causes aging of the years you've been alive. I mostly had this made for Rebekah if she ever decides she wants to live a normal human life but decides in the future she wants to be immortal again."

"Wow, Elijah I didn't know you cared about me so much. You know how much I've wanted to have a normal human life for a long time. Now you want to give this cure away to Elena." Rebekah says a little hurt.

"I have more than one vial." Elijah says as he moves his hand to reveal another vial. He hands a vial to Rebekah and Elena.

"How do we know this really does what you say it does?" Tyler asks concerned.

"I would only give this to Rebekah if I knew it worked. I've tested this cure on vampires for a couple years now and they haven't aged a day and all were able to return to their original vampire state." Elijah informs everyone.

"I trust you, Elijah." Rebekah says and then drinks down the contents of the vial.

"I told myself I would be willing to do anything to help stop Tyler from having to turn into a werewolf every full moon." Elena says. With that she downs her own vial of cure or what she hopes is the cure for vampirism.

Klaus finally breaks his silence and says jokingly, "Hope it works for both of your sake's I would hate to see Elijah's concoction kill you both."

Rebekah walks past Klaus bumping his shoulder and tells him rudely, "I guess we'll see won't we." Tyler and Elena watch as Rebekah walks up the stairs in a huff.

"Tomorrow I want to see if we can create hybrids out of the doppleganger again." Klaus smirks at Tyler and Elena. "We'll start with Tyler for my first hybrid."

"Can't we try another werewolf to begin with so we can make sure my blood works? I couldn't bear to see Tyler die." Elena pleads with Klaus.

"My final offer would be Tyler doesn't have to be turned into a hybrid first but if the first werewolf we try can complete their transformation you will stay with me and help me make a new pack of hybrids. Once I'm done creating a new pack I will turn Tyler and then you guys may leave. This way I figure you will be more apt to help me with my hybrids if Tyler has to wait until I'm done before I help him, no matter how many moons he has to turn." Klaus tells them.

Elijah tells Tyler and Elena that they can spend the night in one of the spare bedrooms. They follow Elijah upstairs and he shows them to a master bedroom with an attached bathroom. Before leaving them alone he tells them, "I hope for your sake's Klaus actually keeps up his part of the deal." He then closes the door on his way out and he is gone.

"You don't have to do this for me." Tyler tells Elena and sits down on the edge of the bed.

Elena sits down next to him and takes his left hand in her hands. "I would do anything for you. No matter what. If Klaus changes his mind we'll kick his ass together. Besides I would like to stick around awhile to see what happens to human Rebekah." Elena says with a big smile on her face.
