One

A young girl sighs as she leans against a black ford explorer. Her light brown-red hair was down in curls to her just past her shoulders and her hazel eyes looked around waiting impatiently. Klaus, the Original hybrid, and Stefan Salvatore, a vampire that she didn't quite like, were inside killing people. Her life had changed over the summer and all because of Elena Gilbert. Growing up Rose didn't like Elena, she was selfish and whiny as well as judgemental and held people to higher standards than she did with herself and her friends Caroline and Bonnie.

Rose Fell was the daughter of Meredith Fell from a one night stand and she loved her mother. She had come to Mystic Falls in May on vacation and her mother was going to follow shortly afterwards but her life had changed. Katherine Pierce had knocked her out and kidnapped her bringing her to Klaus. Rose didn't know the details but apparently she was important and because of that Klaus wanted her. A deal was made where she would spend the summer with him and in exchange she would give him a chance. It was funny but it seemed that despite her disgust she felt things for Klaus.

"Are you cold love?" an accented voice asked her.

"Just because it's Tennessee and summer doesn't mean us humans still don't get cold Nik," Rose said calling him by a name different than Klaus.

"I'm sure I can keep you warm," Klaus smirked wrapping his arms around her.

"Shut up," Rose growled.

She wanted to say that she pushed him away but the truth was that despite him being a hybrid and a prat Rose felt this connection to him, this attraction and she knew Klaus knew more than he was saying but he wouldn't tell her. Rose closed her eyes tired, cold and missing her mother. She hadn't had the chance to call her before leaving with Klaus and she just needed her sometimes.

"You can sleep love," Klaus whispered running his hand through her hair.

Klaus watched Rose as she fell asleep in his arms. He picked her up in his arms bridal style and held her as he waited for Stefan. He had always said that love was a vampire's greatest weakness but when Katherine had told him about Rose he hadn't wanted to believe it. The connection he felt with her and protectiveness he felt for her convinced him though he didn't want to tell Rose. Klaus knew that she thought him a monster but at the same time trusted him. He sighed figuring that she deserved a reward for her good behavior and he also didn't want her around when he went to the werewolves. There was something about Rose Fell that made him want to have love but everytime he felt something it was taken from him and he couldn't let that happen.

Meredith growled out in annoyance as she continued to search for her daughter. Years ago when she was was in high school she had a one night stand that ended up with her pregnant. When she had told the father he left her in the wind and so she was alone taking care of a baby by herself. Her parents hadn't been that supportive at first but finally caved in and her brother Logan, though he was a dick, helped her out. Meredith loved Rose with all her heart and when she sent her to Mystic Falls to the family home that she would move to soon Rose had disappeared. A girl who turned out to look like Elena Gilbert but was actually Katherine Pierce a vampire came to her and told her what happened to Rose. She also told her that Rose had a connection to the hybrid Klaus but wouldn't say more than that leaving her confused.

"I will find you Rose and protect you," Meredith whispered looking down at the picture.

The picture was taken on Rose's birthday on March 16th of that year which was her daughter's sixteenth birthday. Meredith didn't like to think badly of people but if Elena Gilbert hadn't been born the just maybe her daughter wouldn't be in this mess. She silently swore to find her daughter and protect her from anyone that would harm her no matter what.

~The Fell Girl~

Rose woke up curled in the back seat with a jacket draped over over. She recognized it as Klaus's jacket and as she sat up she put it on because she wanted to smell it some more mainly because it smelled like Klaus. She didn't know what it was with this connection she had to the hybrid but it was kind of annoying her. She was disgusted with some of things he did but she also knew that vampires and werewolves were predators and they couldn't change who they were. Rose frowned when Klaus stopped in front of a hotel, a very expensive one at that.

"What are we doing here?" she asked narrowing her eyes when Klaus turned to smirk at her.

"We are getting you a room here at this lavish hotel while Stefan and I go looking for werewolves to turn," Klaus getting out and coming around to her side.

"You're trusting me by myself?" Rose asked shocked.

"Well so far you haven't given me any reason not to trust you and I think you deserve a little vacation. You can call that mother of yours but know this if you run away I will hunt you down love," Klaus warned pushing a bang out of her eyes.

"Thank you," she said jumping to wrap her arms around his neck in a hug.

Rose felt Klaus freeze as if expecting something else and then it clicked. There were signs that she ignored but it made sense now. Klaus was abused and he was lonely. He didn't want to make hybrids because he wanted an army, he wanted to make hybrids because he didn't want to be alone. Rose pulled away and grabbed her bag following the hybrid inside. After a few minutes of waiting Rose finally had a room, a very expensive room, but it was a room. Klaus walked her to the elevator with a hand on the small of her back and she leaned into it. She opened the door with the key and turned to look at him seeing that he wasn't smirking like usual.

"Thank you Nik," Rose whispered pressing a quick kiss to his lips.

She felt a jolt of electricity and pulled away in shock. Rose entered the room closing the door behind her and leaning against it. Things were changing between her and Klaus very quickly and it scared Rose. She didn't know how to handle it mainly because her last boyfriend had been an asshole plus there was still that question that was bugging her pertaining to her connection with Klaus and what was so important about her. Sighing she closed her eyes figuring she could deal with it another day after she had seen or talked to her mother. Little did she know how much it was going to change her life.
