The Apex Predator (Rebekah Mikaelson X Male Oc)

Time In Hell

After becoming The Original Hybrid, Klaus made it his mission to find Ryker and speak to him about where he has been all these years.

Klaus compels some people to scout every inch of the Mystic Falls Town Square hoping that they would be able to find Ryker. But he was very much so disappointed when none of them were able to complete the task and in his frustration he killed all of them.

Klaus was now realizing that if he wanted to find Ryker, he would have to do it himself. Since he was soon leaving Mystic Falls with Stefan Salvatore. So after some time of looking around Mystic Falls, he tries to put himself in Ryker's shoes and he tries to think about where he would go.

And thus his thoughts lead him to the same ground where he and his family including Ryker were turned into The Original Vampires. As Klaus walks through the woods of Mystic Falls, he uses his hybrid senses to pick up on any detectable movement, but to his disappointment he hears nothing.

A sigh heavys from his lips as he was about to turn around until the subtle sound of leaves rustling was heard by the Original Hybrid and the sudden smell of death roamed the air. Niklaus turns on his heels and walks towards the smell and as he gets closer he sees a figure crouching down holding a body in their hands while bodies lie scattered all over the woods.

"Hello Niklaus" Ryker says his voice still rough and coarse as he slowly stands up dropping the body and turning around to face the Hybrid.

Death echoed through the air as Klaus took a moment to take in the appearance of the man. His hair was ruffled and his white shirt was now drenched in blood. Ryker's face was dripping with blood as he tried to wipe the blood off his chin.

"Ryker... How is this possible I thought you died a thousand years ago along with your mother?" Klaus asks as he slowly approached the man who took a few steps back shaking his head slightly.

Ryker lets out a heavy sigh before speaking. "A thousand years ago, after my mother passed on this very ground... I was trapped in this dimension, it was-" He paused trying to figure out the right words.
"It was hell... It was the absolute worst thing I've ever experienced in my long life and for a thousand years. A THOUSAND YEARS I was stuck in there. Watching time go by as everyone else enjoyed their lives as I was stuck in my own hell. And now I come back and I-I... can't control it. This thirst for blood, this obsession... It's... it's driving me insane" Ryker continues his throat hurting from speaking as he blinked fast trying to keep a stoic expression.

Klaus stared at the man who had now turned around to face the sunset once again. "How about I buy you a drink and we can talk about this?" Klaus says as he watches Ryker turn around and think over it before nodding cautiously.

"But first let's get rid of the bodies" Klaus says as he gestures to the fallen people of Mystic Falls.

"I'll do it" Ryker says as he says as he takes a few steps back before closing his eyes.

"Incendia" He mutters under his breath causing all the bodies to catch alight and also causing Klaus to look at him with shock and curiosity.

AT THE MYSTIC GRILL

Klaus and Ryker where seated at the bar in the Mystic Grill when a blonde girl approached the bar.

"Can I get you guys anything?" She asked looking between the two men. Klaus looked at Ryker silently asking him what he would like but Ryker was zoned out and was not paying attention.

"Get us your best Bourbon." Niklaus says as the waiter writes down the order and heads to the back of the bar. "So..." Klaus says breaking the silence and snapping Ryker back into reality, which makes him flinch and jump back slightly.

"What do you want from me exactly Niklaus?" Ryker asks bluntly not being able to take this stalling any longer.

Klaus shifts in his seat before turning to face Ryker completely. "Well, there are many things that I would like to know. For starters how about you tell me about how you are able to be a vampire and a witch?" He asks with curiosity glinting over his eyes as he looks at Ryker.

"Technically, I'm a witch, vampire and werewolf. But I was also an immortal before that and since I am the first of my kind and the first vampire... I guess that makes me the freak show that is the original tribrid with immortality of course" Ryker says without adding much thought to it which causes Klaus to look at him with a mixture of fear and shock on his face.

"But if you are an Original Vampire that means you were ready gifted the gift of immortality." Klaus states in a questioning tone, looking for an answer to his statement.

"Indeed, but Originals can be killed using the White Oak Stake and they can be subdued by the White Oak Ash Daggers that you own while I cannot. You see Niklaus, since I was an Immortal before I transitioned into a Vampire, I inherented all the strengths of a vampire but I did not carry on the weaknesses. An immortal cannot be killed by anything and with the power that comes with me being The Tribrid makes be the ultimate predator." Ryker states as he flashes his Tribrid face to Niklaus, revealing his reddish yellow eyes with the veins around his eyes darkening.

"How to you know that I have the white oak daggers?" Klaus asks with an accusing tone as he looks at Ryker who sighs but chuckles slightly thinking about how that was the only thing Klaus picked up from his entire monolog.

"This dimension that I spoke of earlier, it allowed me to see everything that was happening in the real world while I had to sit and watch the world move on without me. I went centuries without uttering a single word because I was alone even though I could see everyone, I could even smell their blood... so close yet just out of my grasp. Everytime I felt like I could just reach out and just have a taste of blood but I couldn't. That's probably why I'm having so much trouble controlling my bloodlust, after centuries gone without even so much as a drop of blood." Ryker realizes as their drinks arrived and Klaus compels the waiter to forget about them.

After compelling the girl, Klaus turns to face Ryker again before speaking." So how did you manage to escape after you know a thousand years and all?" He asks before taking a sip of his drink.

"Well, after a couple of years strange things started happening. Weird creatures would appear in the world every day and everytime they would try to kill me. For the first three centuries I fought back and killed each and everyone of them but they more and more would appear the next day so after a while I stopped trying because I realized everyday I spent in that world made me weaker. So I just let them kill me, hoping that I would finally be free from my hell. But no... everytime they killed me I just woke up the next day just to do it all over again." He paused before looking at his drink and taking a sip, shaking his head when it the liquid entered his mouth.

"So eventually I realized that the creatures must be coming from somewhere so I decided to try to do a spell going into the mind of a creature. Once in the mind of the creature I was able to figured out that all of them were able to be transported to the realm only on full moons as the person sending them needed to draw power from something. So on the next full moon I tried to do a spell that would get me out of that hell, but unfortunately it didn't work as I was weak from not drinking blood for centuries. I needed to harness more energy as the full moon was not enough but a once in a thousand years type of event worked." Ryker finished with a smile on his face as he looked at Klaus who was now also grinning ear to ear.
