E p i s o d e 7 P a r t 2

Aleksios P.O.V:

Nik, Elijah and I have been searching the bayou for hours. It's morning now and we are near the werewolf encampments. Nik and I walk alongside one another while Elijah walks infront.

"We should head south towards the water." Elijah says after a long silence.

"You seem quite determined to find the little wolf." Nik says walking up to Elijah while I stay where I am and resist the urge to hit him.

"If I'm moving too fast for you, Niklaus, you're welcome to go back and wait in the car. Do be certain to leave the windows down." Elijah makes a jab at Nik and I sigh.

"Ah, so I've touched a nerve? You've begun to admire this girl. Perhaps that's why you've been barking orders since your return, hoping to impress Hayley by assuming the role of family patriarch." Nik continues working on Elijah's nerves.

"If you're going to insist on treating her like a walking incubator, then that's your mistake." Elijah says and Nik opens his mouth to say something but I walk up in between them and slap them both across the head and then I turn to face them.

"Stop it. The both of you. You are acting like hormonal teenage boys in a testostorone competition. You're millenia old vampire's for god sake's. Act like it." I scold them and they hang their heads in shame and each mutters a 'sorry'.

I catch a wiff of a over fimiliar scent and I groan.

"What?" My oldest living brother asks me.

"Smell." I say to Nik. He sniffs at the air and groans as well as we walk towards the scent.

"Have you found her scent?" Elijah questions us.

We come upon an SUV and Nik starts searching through its contents while I watch.

"No, but I found someone else's. This vehicle reeks of someone I thought I was rid of... Tyler Lockwood." Nik says with another groan.

"And why would your little hybrid-sidekick from Mystic Falls have any interest in Hayley?" Elijah ask Nik and I look at Nik with a grin.

"He wants revenge because I went after his girl." Nik says and I raise my eyebrows and Elijah sees me.

"Why do I suspect this is the least of your offenses?" Elijah asks him, nodding his head towards me.

"Because it is." I say and Nik throws me a glare.

"Back when I had the means to sire hybrids, he was my first, Although, I didn't give him much choice in the matter." Nik say and I roll my eyes. Stop beating around the bush already.

Nik pulls a blanket out of the abandoned car and sniffs at it. As he does that I krinkle my nose in disgust.

"That's nasty." I comment and he rolls his eyes.

"He was loyal in the beginning, but he grew insubordinate, turned my other hybrids against me. I couldn't have that, so I massacred the lot of them. Tyler ran like a coward before I could finish him off." Nik says and I roll my eyes again.

Elijah sighs in frustration and I almost chuckle "Anything else that you would like to share?'

"If you don't tell him I will." I threaten and he sighs but nods.

"Well, there was this business with his mum..." Nik says, not even a little ashamed.

"You killed his mother. Wonderful." Elijah says incredulously.

"He needed to be taught a lesson!" Nik defends and I snort.

"Some lesson." I say crossing my arms over my chest.

"And what lesson will you be taught, Niklaus, if he retaliates by harming Hayley?" Elijah asks him and my eyes widen. I didn't think about that.

"So you do care about her. Well, go on, then. Have at it, brother. Save her. Claim what spoils you can. I've sampled what she has to offer and let me tell you, she is exquisite-" Nik taunts Elijah but he cuts him off.

"Niklaus, so help me..." Elijah says but trails off.

"Enough. I'll kill Tyler Lockwood myself." Nik say and speeds away to find Tyler.

"Lex-" Elijah starts and I nod.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll go after him." I say and speed off towards Tyler's scent.

It takes me awhile to find the because they have already begun to fight one another.

I finally see Nik wandering around and checks random tents as he searches for Tyler. I decide to stay hidden in the tree until he needs me.

"Is this your idea of revenge, Tyler? A grueling game of hide-and-seek?" Nik ask and I see Tyler runs up behind him and stabs him through the chest with a stake. I speed towards Tyler, grab him by the throat and throw him to the floor. He looks up and whem he sees me him eyes widen. He gets up and continues to stare at me.

"Lex." He says in fear.

"Hello Tyler." I greet back and I keep on a murderous facial expression.

"Now, I wonder. Just how stupid are you? Huh? Attacking my brother, that's like signing your own death sertificate." I say in a calm voice which only frightens him more.

"Let's end this, shall we?" Nik says and I throw him a glare.

"Are you realy gonna fight this punk?" I ask him in disbelief and her nods.

The two glare at each other. Before they lunge forward to fight, their hybrid eyes and fangs emerge. Tyler tackles Klaus, and they both roll down a small hill and land in front of a shack. I speed down there and watch further. Tyler punches Klaus in the face, so Klaus grabs him in a choke-hold.

"How dare you!" Nik asks, outraged.

"I'm just getting started." Tyler says and stakes him in the side, and Nik groans in pain.

"Don't even ask for my help." I say to Nik but we both know it's a lie and that I would help him.

"You've grown bloodthirsty. Perhaps it's best your mother didn't live to see you like this." Nik says and laughs devilishly at him. Tyler gets more enraged and begins to pummel him in the face. Nik grabs his fist, flips him over so Klaus is on top of him, and stakes Tyler in the chest with the stake that was stuck in his side. Tyler moans in pain, and they both get back on their feet.

"It's sad, really. I thought I made you better. Turns out you're quite the disappointment." Nik tells him and Tyler pulls the stake out of his chest and throws it aside.

"I guess I'm another one of your failures. Like how you failed at making hybrids. How you failed your family!" He says and I growl. I pick up a piece of wood and speed towards him, impaling him in the stomach.

"Mind your toungue." I hiss out and rip out the stake as I speed back my watching position, dropping the stake.

Tyler approaches my twin and smiles. "Now it looks like you're going to fail your own kid!" He says and my anger flares.

"Are you deaf or stupid?" I ask him and before I could do anything Nik grabs Tyler by the throat and pushes him against a tree.

"And thus ends your tedious little life. At least it was brief!" Nik says and I look on.

He jams his hand into Tyler's chest and grabs his heart as Tyler shouts in agony.

Tyler gasps for breath. "Do it! You're never gonna break me! Only thing you can do is kill me, so go on! Go on, get it over with!" He shouts out.

Nik pauses and chuckles. "Ahhh, you want me to end your suffering, don't you? Hmm? I did break you! I took everything from you, and now you're begging me to sweep away the shards of your shattered little life." Nik says and I groan, already knowing where this is going.

He stares at him for a moment, and just when Tyler thinks Klaus is about to kill him, he pulls his empty hand out of his chest and chokes Tyler momentarily.

"Death offers more peace than you deserve. It's better to let you live. And each morning, you will wake knowing your wretched existence continues only by my will." Nik starts to compel him. "Now go, and live the rest of your days knowing that you are nothing to me."

Nik lets him go, and leaves him alone in agony.

"Are you seriously going to let him live?" I ask him curiously and he gives me a look which I immediately understand.

Caroline.
