I was in Tyler's room at the hospital overnight and I hear a loud sound.

"Ty" I wake him up, but he was already awake.

"What was that?" He asks me.

"It's the hunter. I know it is." I say and Tyler gets out his bed and goes to a corner of the room when he walks in.

"Where is he?" Connor asks. Before I can say anything, Tyler comes from behind. But Connor injects him with a paralytic liquid and takes the venom from his gums.

—

It was the morning and I stayed up worrying, so did Tyler.

"I'm worried of the reason he took your venom. He's a hunter and only hurt people who were vampires." I say.

"I know. When can we get out of here?" Tyler asks.

"When you're mom arrives." I say as his mom comes into the room.

"You guys ready?" She asks and Tyler nods. "And thank you for staying with him, especially since the Connor guy did come." Carol tells me and I smile.

"Of course, Carol." I respond. I've known Tyler's mom basically my whole life, when Mason took me in and she helped a lot.

We head back to his house and we see 2 guys, hybrids standing by the door.

"Who the hell are you two?" Tyler asks and i furrow my eyebrows

"Tyler, it's ok. They're here for your protection." Carol says.

"They're hybrids so I'm assuming Klaus is here?" I ask and me being right, Klaus walks in.

"I was halfway to Chicago when I heard you were attacked. I had hoped to leave Mystic Falls for good, but duty calls and other reasons." Klaus glares at me.

"Nice to know you care." Tyler says, pissed.

"I don't. I should have killed you for the little stunt you and your friends pulled— stopping my heart, leaving me in a coffin to rot."

"Yeah, well, you used my body as an escape hatch, so maybe we're even." Tyler responds, all up in Klaus' face.

"Not even close. But you hybrids are a dying breed. I can't make more of you, and I won't have anyone taking liberties with the ones I have left. Consider them your new bodyguards." Klaus walks away.

I've been hanging with Tyler, the stupid hybrids have been coming in and out.

"So this is where you've been hiding, huh?" A girl comes in.

"Hayley?" Tyler gets up and i furrow my eyebrows.

"Hey, Lockwoof." She runs up and hugs him, then hits his chest. "Ass. I thought Klaus killed you."

"I should have called."

"From your trailer park in Florida. You liar!" Hayley shouts. "You're totally loaded."

"He is loaded." I interrupt and Hayley looks at me.

"Ashley Sommers!" Hayley recognizes me.

"Hayley Marshall." I get up and hug her. "I've missed you!"

"How do you guys know each other?" Tyler asks.

"Oh, we were at daycare together when we were little, then the last time we saw each other she was 12, I was 17 I'm pretty sure. You've grown up so much." Hayley smiles which makes me smiles.

"She also watched over me when my mom was too busy. Hayley came here a lot." I tell Tyler.

"Come, we need to catch up." Hayley says and we go into another room. "So you're a Huntress and a werewolf now. How is that possible?"

"Well, the Huntress goes through the bloodline on my moms side and I activated by killing a vampire, he was trying to kill me. The gene is from my dad's side."

"And Klaus? So many rumors Ash, when someone told me the Huntress who can handle it was Ashley, I had to come to see for myself." Hayley says.

"Me and him, let's just say the word is complicated. We argue, we care for each other, it's complicated."

"Very much so. But we both know it's more than that." Klaus comes walking in. "You're a new face." Klaus looks at Hayley.

"And I take it from your accent you're and old from, and you talking to Ash, you're Klaus." Hayley says.

"My reputation precedes me, hopefully not all bad." Klaus smirks, which made me furrow my eyebrows.

"A little bad, mostly repulsive." Hayley responds.

"So you're a friend of Tyler's. That's strange. He's never mentioned you." Klaus says, then focuses on background nose. "And I think I know why."

"You're coming with me." Klaus says pulling me away and Hayley laughs.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"You're a huntress, and we need to talk to a hunter. And we need to talk about how you know the new girl." Klaus says.

"I used to go to daycare with her and we used to hang out. I'm not telling you anything about her, I don't trust that you won't hurt her." I say, crossing my arms and Klaus starts to walk fast.

"I don't know if you forgot, but you did make me sprain my ankle, which I'm pretty sure is a fracture now." I say as he waits for me to catch up to him.

—

"You brought her?" Damon says, being over protective.

"She has abilities and what not." Klaus says as i roll my eyes. They made a plan to make arrows shoot out at the hunter so he couldn't escape, which worked.

"You three are gonna kill me anyway." Connor says.

"Well, let's not be too hasty. I feel like we're just getting to know each other." Klaus smirks.

"Let's start with the basics. Where are you from? What do you know? Maybe you can cue me in on this greater evil, because I've fought this guy, and there's nothing more evil than that." Damon says.

"Yeah, truth be told, I'm as evil as it gets." Klaus responds.

"I'm not telling you anything. You think if you kill me, it's gonna be over? There's another waiting to take my place."

"See, this is what I like to hear— vague threats, ominous prophecies, disappearing tattoos." Damon says and Klaus' smirk disappears.

"What do you know?" I look at Klaus, which makes Damon look too.

"There's more to you than meets the eye, isn't there?" Klaus asks Connor, totally ignoring me. Connor tries to uses a stake, or weapon to hurt Klaus but he's fast to stop him.

"Nice try, but I'm faster than your average vampire." Klaus says.

"He's not blood related like I am, so he's apart of a group or something." I mention, getting a feeling.

"What else?" Klaus asks.

"Um... he got chosen to be one, his tattoo on his arm might be apart of it, I mean it's huge."

"You can see the tattoo?" Damon asks.

"Yeah, I mean it's humongous, anyone can see it." I say.

"She's The Huntress, even if her story is different she's still a huntress. He's apart of the five." Klaus says and Damon furrowed his eyebrows.

"The what?" Damon asks

"I'm faster than the average hunter." Connor says, pulling the arrow, which was hooked up to a bomb.

Damon looks at you and grabs you and uses his speed to run.

"Are you okay kiddo?" Damon asks and I nod.

My phone starts to ring, and it was Stefan.

"I called Damon a bunch of times—" Stefan says in which I interrupted him.

"Yeah, incident happened so he couldn't answer, what's wrong?" I ask.

"At the party, there was wolf venom in the drinks, and it's in Elena."

"I'll come with Klaus, be there as soon as I can." I hang up and stand up to find Klaus.

I eventually find Klaus walking out of the hospital.

"I need a favor." I say and Klaus instantly shakes his head. "Need i to remind you that you used me to get answers from this hunter? And you sprained my ankle and pulled me away from someone I haven't seen in like 4 years?"

"Fine. What is it?" Klaus asks.

"Elena has wolf venom in her system—"

"So now you're using me for my blood?" Klaus laughs.

"Klaus, it's my cousin. She's my family, please." I used my puppy dog eyes, which he has used on me multiple times.

"Ok, ok, let's go." Klaus says and we head to the boarding house.
