Imarina was a normal girl until one night she turned into a jaguar. After a dream of Damon Salvatore nearly being burned alive with the tomb vampires. Not knowing why, she follows her new instincts to Mystic Falls. Where she learns her duty as a wer...
"I feel like a whale" I whine as Jackson helps me on the hike. I'm now fifteen weeks pregnant and look like I'm half way along. But I'm not. We've finally reached the location of the pack. The Great Smoky Mountains. But now we have to hike to their camp site.
"I can carry you" he tells me.
"Would you?" I ask him and he picks me up bridal style. We catch up to Klaus and Stefan. Who is carrying a still dead Ray.
"Ankles sore little cat?" Klaus asks in a teasing voice.
"Go jump in the lake" I grumble as I bury my head into Jackson's neck.
"Someone's catty" he says and I groan.
"How much longer?" Jackson asks him.
"We're here" Klaus states and I hear them stop walking. I raise my head to see the pack's campsite. We enter it and Jackson puts me down. But wraps an arm around me, keeping me close as Stefan drops Ray onto the ground. A woman rushes over to Ray.
"Ray! Oh, my God. What's going on? Who are you?" she demands while glaring at Stefan. Klaus steps forward.
"The important question is who am I. Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus" he says introducing himself.
"You're the hybrid" the woman says.
"You've heard of me. Fantastic" Klaus says with a smile. We all sit down as Klaus continues to talk. "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" he states. Just then Ray decides to wake up.
"Splendid timing Ray, very dramatic" Jackson says.
"What's happening to me?" Ray asks.
"Stefan, little cat" Klaus says looking at us.
"Are any of you human?" I ask the campers.
"Your friend here needs human blood to complete his transition to vampire. If he doesn't get it, he will die" Stefan states.
"Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?" Klaus asks them.
I take a deep breath and look at a young man with Jackson. "You" we say together. Klaus rushes over to him and bites his forearm. Stefan then grabs him, throws him on the ground in front of Ray. The woman protests but Klaus grabs her.
"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will. Problem is I don't know how to stop" Stefan tells him. I bury my head into Jackson's chest not wanting to see what Klaus will do next.
Soon all the werewolves are in transition. Klaus healed the human and sent him to rest. No doubt, he'll kill him once he seized to be of use.
"You should rest Imarina" Jackson tells me.
"But we're not finished yet" I say with a yawn. I had not gotten much sleep with all the traveling while being pregnant.
"He's right little cat, sleep" Klaus tells me. I nod my head and lean on Jackson letting sleep take me. I wake up in a dream in Jaguar form carrying a jaguar cub. With a tiger and cheetah cub following me to a cave.

Soon Tiger appears and I put the cub in my mouth down. I rub my head against the tigers chaffing happily in greeting. He does the same before greeting the cubs. Is this Jackson and I with our future cubs? Are these their werecat forms? So many questions, but I guess only time will tell. I continue to enjoy my dream. Watching the dream cubs play as I lean on Tiger with a content smile.
I wake up to a roar of anger. I open my eyes to see a were-tiger killing rabid hybrids with Klaus. I notice the hybrids have gone made, blood coming from their ears, eyes and noses. I also notice Stefan is nowhere in sight. Soon all the hybrids are dead and the were-tiger looks at me.
"Jackson, come back to me" I say in a low voice as I stroke his face. He growls lightly. "They are gone, you killed them all. The cubs and I are safe" I assure him. He takes a deep breath and turns back to normal. "Go change, I am safe with Klaus" I tell him. He nods his reluctantly and goes to a nearby tent.
"So what did I miss aside from the hybrids going rabid?" I ask Klaus.
"Not much" he grumbles as he opens a bottle of beer. "It should of worked. I killed a werewolf, a vampire and the doppelganger. I should be able to make my own hybrids" he states.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out" I tell him. "But we need a witches help" I state.
"I know just the witch" he states as Stefan returns. As Jackson enters the tent in a new outfit. Jackson hugs me close and I smile nuzzling into him. "They went rabid. Some of them, Jackson and I killed. The others just...Bleed out. In the end...They're all dead" Klaus tells Stefan.
"They tried to attack Imarina, no one attacks my mate" Jackson growls glaring at the dead hybrids. I smile and kiss his cheek. Making him relax.
Klaus yells and throws the bottle of beer in his hand. He screams at the sky. "I did everything I was told!" he screams before regaining his composure. "I should be able to turn them. I broke the curse. I killed a werewolf. I killed a vampire. I killed the doppelgänger" he states. I notice Stefan looks uncomfortable and frown. Is he hiding something? Klaus doesn't seem to notice.
"You look like hell" Jackson states looking at Stefan.
"Last I checked, I'm dying...and Klaus doesn't want to heal me" he grumbles.
"Where's Ray?" I ask him.
"I had to take him out. I didn't have a choice" he states. "I failed you, I'm sorry. Do what you have to do" he tells Klaus.
"It should have worked" Klaus grumbles. He turns around and takes an empty bottle of beer. He bites his hand, makes a fist. Pouring blood into the bottle and holds the bottle out to Stefan. "Bottoms up. We're leaving" he states. "It appears you three and the future cubs are the only comrades I have left" he states. Stefan drinks the blood healing his wolf bite and throws the bottle away.
Jackson carries me back to our car. We then follow Klaus' car. "I had a lovely dream" I tell Jackson with a smile.
"What about?" he asks me curious.
"About us and our future cubs" I tell him smiling. "I don't know if the cubs were in their werecat form. But one with a jaguar, another a tiger and the last one was a cheetah" I explain.
"I think your dream was real, we are all connect in a our prides mentally. Even before birth. I think our cubs cats with are trying to form a mental link with you" he tells me with a smile.
"So that maybe their true werecat forms?" I ask him excitedly.
"Most likely" he tells me.
"Well Klaus will be happy one of them is a jaguar" I state and he chuckles. "I think I'm going to take another nap" I tell him.
"Go ahead, I'll wake you in an hour with some food" he assures me. I smile nodding my head. I lean my seat back and close my eyes. Falling into a dreamless sleep.
