Surprising Lover (TVDxOC) (Complete)

The Hybrid

Grace, Klaus and Stefan are walking in the mountains. Stefan is carrying Ray, unconscious, on his shoulders. Grace is listen to music with headphones in.
"You okay? Is Ray getting heavy?"
"I'm fine."
"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..."
"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."
"So much brooding. Your self-loathing is suffocating you, my friend."
"Maybe it's 'cause I'm a little tired of hunting werewolves. We've been at it all summer."
"Thanks to our pal Ray, we found ourselves a pack. There."
They stop. They 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?"
Klaus joins Stefan and signals Grace to stay hidden.
"The important question is who am I. Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus"
"You're the hybrid."
Klaus smiles.
"You've heard of me. Fantastic."

Klaus and Stefan are sitting. Everyone is standing still, looking at Klaus and listening. Who stares at a dancing Grace.
"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."
Ray wakes up.
"Excellent timing, Ray. Very dramatic."
"What's happening to me?"
"Stefan?"
Stefan gets up.
"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."
"Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?"
He looks at a man.
"You!"
He 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.
"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will. Problem is I don't know how to stop."
Klaus looks at the girl.
"It's the new order, sweetheart. You join us, or you die"
"I'd rather die than be a vampire."
"Wrong choice."
He gives her his blood. Ray drinks the blood from the man.
"She'll thank me for that later. Heh."
He twists her head and kills her.
"Okay, who's next?"
His eyes are yellow and his fangs are out.

Over in the camp, Klaus gives his blood to the human and compels him.
"There. Good as new. Now you relax, okay, mate? We're gonna need you when the rest of them wake up."
Ray is sitting on a rock nearby, grabbing his body and shivering.
"They're dead. They're all dead."
"Ah, he's through his transition. He should be feeling better soon."
"So is this your master plan? Build an army of hybrid slaves?"
"No, not slaves. Soldiers, comrades."
"For what war, might I ask?"
"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."
"What makes you so sure that they'll be loyal?"
"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."
Stefan laughs.
"That's why you're, uh...you're keeping me around? To witness my attitude adjustment?"
Klaus looks at Ray, 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." "Something's wrong.
"That shouldn't be happening, should it?"
"Well, obviously."
"What's... wrong? This is not the first or last time I'm seeing this why?"
"What do you mean?"
"It happens to some heretics when they use magic first time after turning."

In the camp, Ray is shaking and his eyes are still bleeding.
"You said it was gonna feel better. Why doesn't it feel better?"
"Some master race."
"Lose the attitude."
The woman wakes up.
"Derek, come feed your girlfriend."
He gets up. Ray snarls and makes a few jumps and leaves. Klaus looks at Stefan.
"Go get him."

It's night time at the camp and a campfire is burning. Klaus is with Derek.
"Bad news, my friend. End of the road for you."
Derek offers no resistance as Klaus kills him by drinking his blood. The woman is in front of him.
"Careful, love. There's only one Alpha here. And only on woman I will listen to."
Grace is walking and checking on everybody. All the werewolves are staggering around the camp, their eyes bleeding. They look like zombies.
"Bloody hell. Klaus what have you done."

Stefan walks back to camp back with Ray over his shoulders. The rest of the pack are lying on the ground dead. Klaus is there. Stefan drops Ray on the ground. Grace is practicing magic on the bodies.
"They went rabid. Some of them, I killed. The others just...Bled out. In the end...They're all dead."
He yells and throws the bottle of beer in his hand. He screams at the sky making Grace jump.
"[Screaming.] I did everything I was told! [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."
Stefan is uncomfortable and turns to watch Grace practice.
"You look like hell."
"Last I checked, I'm dying...and you don't want to heal me."
He sees Klaus looking down at Ray's body.
"I had to take him out. I didn't have a choice. I failed you. I'm sorry. Do what you have to do."
"It should have worked."
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.
"Bottoms up. We're leaving. [Stefan takes the bottle.] It appears you're the only comrades I have left."
Stefan drinks the blood from the bottle and throws it aside. Meanwhile, Klaus and Grace are walking ahead just enough to know Stefan won't hear.
"You care for him still don't you?"
"What?"
"The way you look at him, it maybe the darkness has taken over, but it's not off, Gracie I don't mind it's not off and you want to practice but if they get him to flick it back on he will leave us like (He clicks his fingers) that. So please bare in mind he may break your heart."
"Well you can't deny that you still feel for him from the 20's, you may have been able to take his memorise away, but mine are still there Klaus."
"You remember that?"
"He chose Rebekah at that point, he has chosen Elena now, I'm neither of them. It reminds me of a song from the musical Wicked."
Stefan catches up.
"What we talking about?"
"Could you sing it Gracie?"
"I could if you really want me too."
"Sing what?"
"A song from Wicked."

"Who's that about?"
"Nobody Stefan she just likes the song."
Klaus winks at Grace and the three walk on.
"Where to now?"
