Klaus waited, and waited for the next full moon. Ever since Ray had told him that his pack met at Smoky Mountains on a full moon, he had been waiting for the day he could go and make his first hybrids. However, while he waited, he spent his time in a hotel room with Eliza and Stefan. For the two weeks they had waited, they had mostly been bored. Klaus had taken Eliza out to a few bars, but she didn't seem at all interested. They had grown a little closer over the time, but Klaus could tell Eliza still hated him - or wanted to hate him. It hurt him to think that she did hate him. When he took her out to one of the bars though, it reminded him of how they first met...
~1920's~
Klaus stepped into the bar with his sister, Rebekah, by his side. He wore a plain white shirt with a bow tie, and smart black trousers. Rebekah wore a classy, pale gold, sequined dress, with a head band tied around her head. They had been in Chicago for a few weeks now, and were currently in hiding from their father, Mikel. For entertainment, they had come to a bar for a night. It would give Klaus a chance to drink from some sweet innocent girl he met.
Out of the corner of his eye, a beautiful girl caught Klaus' attention. She was extremelly beautiful - her beauty outshone most women in this decade - and her eyes were captivating. The same colour his first loves, Tatia, eyes had been. He watched her as she sat alone, looking quite fragile and nervous. Her feet were tapping against the floor in rythmn to the music, and she was looking around as if waiting for someone. The dress she wore was very elegant, and simple. It suited her.
Soon later, a man arrived at the table she was sitting at, with a mischevious smirk on his face - one similar to his own. His hair was a shade darker than Klaus, and was a little longer. The man wore it gelled back, whereas Klaus left his messy. Placing a drink down before her, the man took a seat with her. She looked as if she was trying to make conversation with him, but the man had his attention elsewhere. Immediately Klaus could tell that the girl was now quite upset. After a few moments of gazing at the girl, Klaus took a seat close to there table so he could watch without being noticed. There was something about this girl that was captivating, for Klaus.
A large group of men now made there way over to the table, and the man rose from his seat greeting what must have been his friends. The girl grew more afraid and shy. She sat in silence, trying to keep the attention from her. However, the men noticed her after a few minutes and turned there attention to her. They began to touch her, as if teasing her. Constantly, they were all laughing and looked to be flirting with her playfully. One man went to grab her waist, which was when Klaus decided to rescue her. For some reason he wanted to save her, he didn't like to see other men touching her like that. He wanted her to be his.
~ Present day~
Klaus was broke out of his memory as Stefan came over to him, with Eliza by his side. Memories of her in the 20's still swimming in his mind, Klaus watched Eliza in wonder, curious to what it was about her that had caught his attention that day.
" Maybe it's best if you stay here, love. Me and Stefan will be back tommorow." Klaus suggested, not wanting any of the pack to use Eliza against him.
" I'm coming Klaus, I can't stand another day in this room. I'm coming whethyer you like it or not." A faint smile creeped onto Klaus' face.
" So stubborn." He teased with a smirk. For some reason he had been playfully teasing her a lot over the 2 weeks, and she didn't seem to mind it. Maybe they would make it as friends afterall... Maybe Klaus could manage to win her heart again. Afterall, he had first caught her attention by saving her and listening.
Eliza returned the smile, not able to stop it forming on her lips. They each exited the door in turn, heading towards the car where Ray was still unconcious. The journey to the trail didn't take long, and Klaus made conversation with Eliza while Stefan stayed silent, deep in thought. Once they arrived at the trail, Stefan threw Rays body over his shoulder and they began running vampire speed up the mountain towards the place Ray had told them.
" You okay there Stefan? Need a rest or sit down? I'm guessing Rays pretty heavy, I bet your legs are aching." Klaus said sarcastically, causing Eliza to laugh. But brooding Stefan obviously didn't find it funny, and turned to Klaus with a frown.
" Can we cut the chit chat? I've already had enough of you and Eliza flirting with each other. I know I'm stuck here, but I'd rather not fall for your charms like she has done." Stefan said, the anger raising in his voice.
" What the hell are you talking about Stefan? I havn't fallen for any charms, I'm merely entertaining myself. Maybe if you lightened up a little I wouldn't have to speak to Klaus. We were not flirting." Eliza stopped in her tracks, turning to Stefan with a frown on her face. Klaus stopped watching the pair.
" Oh come on Eliza. Thats all you two have been doing this whole summer. I'm sick of it. You should hate him, he killed Elena! He killed Jenna! and now he's going to kill a bunch of werewolves. How can you even speak to him when he's done that? I thought you hated people like that!" Stefan began to shout this time, anger flaring in his eyes.
" Well maybe I've changed my mind. Yes Klaus has done all those things Stefan, but right now your acting much worse than he is! You know he's been kind to me all of this summer while you've been a complete and utter dick! You've killed innocent people too Stefan! Thousands of them, I've seen it! Your just as bad as him." As Eliza said this, Stefan growled and pushed Eliza into a tree, grabbing her by the neck and holding her hard.
" Don't you ever say that again." Stefan growled angrily, but before he could do any serious damage Klaus grabbed Stefan and threw him off.
" I think that was a bit unnecessary mate." Klaus said, his voice calm but still angry. Eliza winced as stood back up onto her feet, and Klaus immediately went to her side, aiding her. " There's wood in your back Eliza, I'll take it out for you." Klaus told her, before quickly pulling the chunk of wood from her back. She gasped in pain as he did, but the wound immediately began to heal.
" I can't believe you just did that." She glared at Stefan, who was now picking Ray up from the ground again. This time Eliza walked a head, not speaking to either Klaus or Stefan for the rest of the journey. However, when they were close to arriving Klaus caught up and made sure he arrived there first, with Stefan by his side.
Klaus entered the clearing, where all the werewolves stood, with a large smirk on his face. All of there heads lifted in shock as they saw Klaus, Eliza and Stefan enter. Many of them gasped as they saw Rays unconcious body. Making sure to keep Eliza behind him, Klaus stepped further into the clearing, watching as anger spread across some of the packs faces. Stefan dropped Rays body to the ground, and a woman rushed over in panic.
" Ray! Oh my god. Who are you? What do you want?" She asked in panic, staring at Stefan.
" The real question is. Who am I. My names Klaus." Klaus introduced himself to the woman, who's eyes widened as she recognised who he was.
" Your the hybrid." She gasped in horror.
" Oh good. You've heard of me." Klaus said with a smirk. He was about to speak to the girl more to explain, before a figure he recognised well headed over towards them with a smile on his face, a mischevious one.
" Eliza Petrova." The man spoke, and Klaus knew him to be a man called William Handon. The man who had gone to grab Elizas waist the first day Klaus met her. Klaus hated William, mostly because during the time he'd been falling in love with Eliza, William had been trying to pursue her. But Klaus had been sure at the time that he was human... But William only looked to have aged around 10 years.
" William." Eliza gulped, taking a step back from him. She had always been quite afraid of William, mostly because he had always been very forward and demanding. He apparently knew Elizas family well, and did wish to marry Eliza. She obviously hadn't forgotten him like she had forgotten Klaus...
" How are you still alive?" Klaus asked in wonder, holding back the small ammount of anger her felt towards William.
" Klaus Mikaelson. I see you two are still together." William said, his expression turning into a frown.
" Where what?" Eliza asked, shocked by what William had just said.
" The more important question is how you are still alive." Klaus growled this time, annoyed by William already.
" After Eliza left with Stefan I dated Gloria for a while, she fell in love with me and put an aging spell on me so that I would age slowly. See I'm a werewolf, and I wanted to stay one for a long time. So I used Gloria, and here I am, with the rest of my pack." William explained, eyeing Eliza who still had a look of confusion on her face.
" Why don't we let you live a little longer then." Klaus said with a smirk, biting his wrist and shoving it into his mouth, then he snapped his neck. William dropped to the ground making all the others gasp in shock again, they now all looked angry. Before Klaus killed anymore, however, Ray awoke, quickly standing up onto his feet and looking around.
" What happened?" He asked in panic.
" Ah Ray, very good timing. Ray needs human blood to complete his trasnsition, if he dosn't get blood he will die. Any willing human volunteers? Friends? Girlfriends? Here along for the ride." Nobody answered as Klaus spoke, but it didn't matter. Klaus could already smell the human blood in the air, and picked a man out from the crowd. " You."
" No!" One of the women shouted, but before she could do anything Klaus bit into the mans neck and threw him towards Ray, who fed on him hungrily.
" Right then. Lets get started." In a flash, Klaus began killing all 13 of the werewolves that were here. Eliza didn't dare watch as he did. Once Klaus was done he headed back over towards Eliza.
" Why did William ask if we were still together?" Was the first thing she said to Klaus as he stopped in front of her. Klaus let out a small sigh, looking away quickly.
" Look I'll explain everything later, now's not the time, love." As he said that, Rays eyes began bleeding and he cried out in pain as he began to change.
" That's not suppose to be happening is it?" Stefan said.
" Well, obviously." Klaus responded sarcastically, and as he did Ray ran off into the woods vampire speed. Leeting out an annoyed sigh, he turned to Stefan." Go find him and bring him back."
" Whats happening Klaus?" Eliza asked, as one who had just fed from the human dropped dead on there feet.
" I don't know love." Klaus answered, slightly worried himself. He headed over towards the body that had just dropped, and found that the person was in fact dead. Just as he was about to head over to another hybrid thats eyes were bleeding, Eliza screamed causing his attention to switch to her. William had her held by the neck from behind and was biting into her shoulder. In anger Klaus speeded over there, plunging his hand into Williams chest and wripping his heart out. Eliza then dropped into Klaus' arms from the pain of a werewolf bite and blood loss. Biting his wrist, he gently fed her until she back onto her feet again.
" Get out of here love. Back to the hotel. Its not safe anymore. Run." He ordered, as more of his hybrids began to go crazy. Without a thought of doubt, Eliza sprinted back to where their car was still parked.
