We walk up the mountains, well, Stefan and Klaus walk... Stefan carries Ray bridal style whilst Klaus is carrying me on his back.

"My legs hurt." I groan, burying my head into Klaus's neck as he chuckles.

"Love, you haven't walked at all, I have carried you this whole time because you didn't want to get your boots dirty."I huff.

"Well, it's more exhausting to watch you walk than it is to actually walk," Stefan cracks the slightest of smiles.

"You okay? Is Ray getting heavy?"Klaus asks, mocking Stefan.

"I'm fine," Stefan replies, robotically.

"You sure about that? You know, we've been walking for quite some time now. If you need some water or a little sit-down..." Klaus says, letting the end of his sentence drift as I nuzzle my head deeper into his warm neck, allowing his scent to infiltrate my nose.

" You know, I get that we're, uh...we're stuck together, but if we could maybe just skip the chitchat, it'd be great," Stefan says, looking straight ahead.

"So much brooding. Your self-loathing is suffocating you, my friend"Klaus says, as I laugh, lightly nipping Klaus's ear as he squeezes my thigh lovingly.

"Maybe it's 'cause I'm a little tired of hunting werewolves. We've been at it all summer." Stefan says, hoisting Ray up sightly.

"Thanks to our pal Ray, we found ourselves a pack. There." Klaus says,removing one hand from my leg to point into the distance,

We come to an abrupt stop. I guess we found the pack's camp. Stefan enters their camp. Everyone looks at him. He puts Ray on the ground. A woman rushes over to him.

" Ray! Oh, my God. What's going on? Who are you?" The woman asks, her words all spilling into each other hazardously.

Klaus places me on the ground, helping me to my feet before joining Stefan.

"The important question is who am I. Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus." Klaus says, how ever did I get mated to someone so 'modest'.

"You're the hybrid." The woman states, her voice a mixture between shock and fear, allowing Klaus to smile.

"So you've heard of me."Klaus says mischievously...

________________________________________________________________

Klaus and Stefan are sitting on a log, myself sat on Klaus's lap, his arms wrapped around my waste lovingly. Everyone is standing still, looking at Klaus and listening, alert.

" It's fascinating, actually...A werewolf who isn't beholden to the moon, a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun. A true hybrid" Klaus says, smirking at his audience.

"You only find it fascinating because it's about you," I say as he slaps my leg playfully.

"Drop the attitude, Mrs, you're starting to sound like Stefan."I grin as Stefan scoffs.

Very suddenly, Ray wakes up, breathing heavily.

"Excellent timing, Ray. Very dramatic" Klaus states as I lean further into his muscular chest.

"What's happening to me?" Ray asks, panicking.

"Stefan?"Klaus asks/commands.

Stefan stands up from the log, unwillingly.

"Are any of you human? Your friend here needs human blood to complete his transition to vampire. If he doesn't get it, he will die" Stefan asks, looking at all of the werewolves around him.

"Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?"Klaus says, scanning the crowd, "You!" He says, pointing at a blonde man.

Quickly he places me on the log. He then rushes over to him and bites his forearm. Stefan grabs him, throws him on the ground in front of Ray. The woman protests but Klaus strangles her. I just sit there, wincing at the dampness of the log, standing up quickly so that I don't ruin my jeans.

"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will. Problem is I don't know how to stop " Stefan says, his voice sounding nothing but cold.

Klaus looks at the girl in his arms. "It's the new order, sweetheart. You join us, or you die"

"I'd rather die than be a vampire." The woman spits out venomously.

"Wrong choice," Klaus says.

He gives her his blood as Ray drinks the blood from the man, snapping her neck.

" She'll thank me for that later. Heh "

"OK. Who's next?" He asks, showing his hybrid face.

____________________________________________________

"There. Good as new. Now you relax, okay, mate? We're gonna need you when the rest of them wake up." Klaus says, feeding the poor human his blood.

A couple of metres away from myself, Ray is sitting on a rock, grabbing his body and shivering, unnaturally.

"They're dead. They're all dead" He gasps, disbelievingly.

"Ah, he's through his transition. He should be feeling better soon." Klaus says, as I wrap my arms around him, still looking at Ray curiously and unsure.

"So is this your master plan? Build an army of hybrid slaves?" Stefan asks.

"No, not slaves. Soldiers, comrades"Klaus states, playing with my brown hair.

"For what war, might I ask?" Stefan asks, trying to understand.

" Oh, you don't arm yourself after war has been declared, Stefan. You build your army so big that no one ever dares pick a fight. Plus, they will serve as extra protection for the princess." He says, cutely, earning himself a sweet kiss.

"What makes you so sure that they'll be loyal?" Stefan asks, wishing he was doing what Klaus and I are doing but with Elena.

"Well, it's not difficult to be loyal when you're on the winning team. That's something you'll learn once you shake that horribly depressive chip off your shoulder"He says, his eyes staring deeply into my own.

Stefan laughs, hysterically might I add."That's why you're, uh...you're keeping me around? To witness my attitude adjustment?"

"Well-"I did but in before Klaus could. "We could ditch Klaus for a night, Stevie can still happen if that makes you feel any better." Klaus glares at me.

Klaus shakes his head at me and looks at Ray, he then walks over and sits next to him, and examines his face. Ray's eyes are bleeding.

" You'll know why I'm keeping you around when I've decided that I want you to know, "Klaus says mysteriously. "And there will be no 'Stevie', I assure you of that."He says as I scoff.

"Something's wrong," Klaus says, staring at Ray. Confused, he grabs Ray's chin between his hands and tilts his head from side to side, taking in his paleness and unhealthiness, staring at the blood that is falling from his eyes.

"That shouldn't be happening, should it?" Stefan says, purposefully pushing Niklaus's buttons.

"Well, obviously" Klaus snaps, standing up and pacing back and forth.

______________________________________________

Ray is still bleeding and shaking, and I can no longer bring myself to look at him.

"You said it was gonna feel better. Why doesn't it feel better?" Ray cries out.

"Some master race,"Stefan says, slinging his arm around my shoulder,

"Lose the attitude." Klaus snaps as the woman awakens."Derek, come feed your girlfriend." Klaus commands, halting his pacing.

Ray gets up, he snarls and makes a few jumps and leaves. Klaus looks at Stefan.

"Go get him," Klaus says to Stefan. Stefan removes his hand from my shoulder before begrudgingly hurrying off into the trees.

"Where did he go?"Klaus asks, walking up to Stefan who has just returned.

"He, uh...he got away. Forget him. Let's go" Stefan says, Klaus does not pick up on the almost frantic tone in his voice but I do, I stare at him, confused.

Quickly, Klaus grabs Stefan's arm,"A fatal werewolf bite. Ouch."

I hold my breath, shocked.

"Yeah. I'm gonna need your blood to heal me." I start to worry,

"Klaus, "I say, he ignores me, although the muscles in his back tense up.

"Well, I tell you what. You find Ray, and then I'll heal you."

"You can't be serious." Stefan and I say at the same time.

" You better hurry, 'cause that bite looks nasty," Klaus says.

Klaus goes back to the campsite and sees the others are waking up. All of their eyes are bleeding , I decide to try and help Stefan

_____________________________________________

Stefan appears behind Ray and rips his heart out through his back., while I stand, panting.

Only when I hear another voice do I realise that we are not alone.

"Fancy meeting you two here," Says Damon, pretending to be surprised.

"What part of "don't follow me anymore" got lost in translation, Damon?" Stefan asks, angrily.

"Might want to take it up with your girlfriend. You don't want her chasing you, I'd stop with the late-night phone calls." Damon snaps.

"Wait? Elena's alive?" I ask, growing more and more confused by the second.

"I didn't call her," Stefan says, clearly lying... When did this happen?

"Sure you did. She's not gonna give up on you." Damon says, walking away. Stefan sighs, turning to look at me.

"Evie, you can't tell Klaus that Elena is alive." He pauses as I try to take it ll in,"If he finds out because of you, then I will murder your brother."I feel myself pale.

_________________________________________________________________

"They went rabid. Some of them, I killed. The others just...Bled out. In the end...They're all dead. "Klaus says, disappointed as me and Stefan arrive behind him, I remain silent.

He yells and throws the bottle of beer in his hand. He screams at the sky, falling to his knees while I wince watching him upset.

" I did everything I was told! "Regaining his composure, he stands back up, " I should be able to turn them. I broke the curse. I killed a werewolf. I killed a vampire. I killed the doppelgänger." I hold my breath.

" You look like hell, "Klaus says, turning to look at Stefan.

"Last I checked, I'm dying...and you don't want to heal me," Stefan says, giving me a warning look.

"I had to take him out. I didn't have a choice. I failed you. I'm sorry. Do what you have to do." Stefan says as he notices Klaus staring at Ray's remains.

"It should have worked," Klaus says, quietly.

He turns around and takes an empty bottle of beer. He bites his hand, makes a fist, puts the blood draining from it in the bottle and holds the bottle out to Stefan, which Stefan takes gratefully. Klaus then turns his attention towards me, frowning slightly at my pale complexion.

"Are you alright, Angel?"He asks me. Quickly I nod.
