You were pulling away now that Jeremy was getting better at hunting, he didn't need you that much anymore and you were just there until someone said that it was okay to leave, you were sitting in the Grill eating when someone sat opposite "What do you want?" You asked as you picked up your drink noting that it was Klaus sitting in front of you.

"You seem rather capable." He said and you looked at him but you didn't say anything, you waited to see what he wanted. "I want you to help me, I'm looking for The Cure but you already know that."
"Why would I help you?" You asked. "You know who my family is right?"
"Yes much like my family, yours has made a name for themselves, though your family name doesn't mean that you won't help me." He explained and you looked at him and rolled your eyes.
"I'm not helping you." You said as you called the waiter over to ask for your check.
"You think you can just walk away from me?" He asked, "if you turn me down now, I'll kill you with the rest of them."
"You know somehow I knew that you were going to say that, but do you see how I'm not surprised?" You asked as you leaned across the table. "My life is threatened every day so you'll need something else if you want to actually corner me." The waiter walked over with the check you paid and then you left.

Later that day you were in your room when Jeremy opened the door "I'm going to have to get you a bell." You muttered as you turned the page of the book that you were reading.
"What were you doing with Klaus?" He asked, you glanced up at him and shrugged.
"We had a chat." You answered as you looked back at your book.
"You realize that he's trying to kill all of us?" Jeremy asked. "What were you talking about?" You didn't like the tone that he had taken, so you closed your book and looked at them.
"Is there something that you wanted to say?" You asked.
"Are you working with him?" He asked.
"Working with him?" You asked.
"Bonnie said that she heard you talking." He answered.
"Well, she only heard half the conversation." You glared as you stood from the bed. "I was only there because I wanted something to eat."
"So you went to eat with the enemy?" He asked.
"Did you ever think that he found me there because that's what happened, I was there eating and he found me." You explained.
"I never meant-"
"You never meant to accuse me? Yes, you did, that's what you're here for, it doesn't matter though, I'm leaving soon anyway." You answered.
"Leaving?" He asked, stepping forward.
"You didn't think that I was going to be here forever did you?" You asked. "I have to go back home."
"Right.." He answered as he turned away from you "of course you do."

It was literally hours later that Damon was leaning against the door frame of your room "I'm not working with Klaus." You muttered as you looked up from the book that you had picked up again.
"I didn't think that you were." He informed you as he walked into the room looking around.
"I just heard that you're leaving soon." He answered.
"Jeremy tell you that?" You asked as you turned the page of your book.
"Did you tell Jeremy?" He asked and you looked at him and gave him a 'really' look. "Well, are you leaving because of him?"
"No, I'm leaving because the training is over, you don't need me here anymore." You answered and he nodded.
"Not because he accused you of working with Klaus?" He asked.
"As I said, I did the job that I came here for, you don't need me anymore." You reiterated.
"You know that's not true." He answered.
"Some would say otherwise." You muttered "Either way I have other jobs to do, your problems didn't become mine when I got here."
"Well, I hope you know I'll be calling on you when I need a huntress," Damon answered and you looked at him and smiled.
"I'm sure you will." You said as you heard him leave and you looked around the room, guess it was time to move on.
