Hannah awoke and the room was filled with light, it was nearly mid-day. Klaus was stood in the only dark corner; he looked like he was conflicted. "whats wrong?" Hannah said crossing the room so she is standing in front of him, she put a hand on the side of his face and kissed him. "i think its time i told you something" he said. "what is it?" she asked. he took her hand and lead her threw the mansion and out into the country side. the day was warm and Hannah enjoyed feeling the sun on her skin. "whats wrong Klaus?" she couldn't understand what was wrong with him, she's alive, hes alive; they can finally be together now that Byron's out of the way. "i think i should tell who i am, i mean who i really am" he said. "what do you mean?" she asked coming to a Holt on top of a hill and refusing to move untill he explained, she took a seat and looked at the mansion and its grounds; klaus sat next to her.

"i told you about how i became a vampire remember?" he asked turning to look at her. "yes your mother turned you because she couldn't bare to loose another child." Hannah said. "yeah, but there was a part of the story i missed out" he said standing up "please walked with me" he said and Hannah stood by his side and began to walk. "werewolf's like the ones in my village have to take a life in order to activate the curse" he explained, "well when i became a vampire i killed and activated the werewolf curse, i became the first hybrid" he explained. Hannah was slightly baffled she needed clarification, "so that would mean your dad was..." she said and promted him to continue. "my mother had been unfaiful and i was the result." he said, "so my mother couldnt stand for such a abomination of nature, so she put a curse on me locking my warewolf away so i was just a vampire again" he said looking down at the floor, "i was so angry, i killed her". hannah wanted to comfort him and tell him it was all okay but she felt there was more to this story, "there is however a way to break the curse, so i can become that powerful again, but it requires something even you wouldn't forgive" he said. Hannah turned and looked into his eyes, "what is it?"

Klaus's face was as conflicted now as it was when she first saw him this morning. Like he was afraid what she would think of him if he told her this "there was this girl in the village that my brother and loved, tatia, to stop us fighting over her my mother made her the sacrifice; her blood turned us into what we are today, her decedents lived on, every few hundred years one is almost identical to her; these are called doppelgangers it is there blood that breaks the curse a long with the blood of a vampire and a werewolf." he said, before going on to say " a very long time ago my brother and i thought the last of tatias line died but i have recently learnt this is not true and now i go and breake the curse" Hannah understood what he meant, he was going to kill someone. she wasnt sure what to say or how to react, they had been walking a good half an hour now and were cirled back towords the mansion. "do you have to break the curse?" she asked, he grew more aggitated at this and replied simply buy saying "yes". as they reached the mansion she spoke again "killing people is wrong Klaus" she said before she could continue he spoke. "there is something else i would like to show you" he said and opened the door to the mansion, she stepped in.

*********************

Klaus lead Hannah to a dark room with no windows and only one entrance that he had to unlock. as she entered Hannah surveyed the objects inside, four coffins. "what are these?" she asked. Klaus opened one the ones closer to him and said "my siblings apart from my brother, they were against me" he said. "so you killed them?" Hannah asked dreading the answer as she looking into the coffin, it was a girl with blond hair in a white 1920's style dress, her skin was vainy and dark. "no, not killed, just sleeping" he said and closed the coffin again, "when i've broke the curse and killed my father i'll wake them again" he explained. "and the other? where is he?" Hannah asked. "here and there, i don't check in often" he said, Hannah did the math in her head, Klaus said he had four brothers and a sister, one of this brothers died and one is still walking so that meant that there should only be three coffins. "whats in the fourth?" she asked. "my greatest fear" he said "you dont need to know more then that" he said.

Hannah had learnt allot about Klaus today, she knew his past was messed up but this was something else entirely. He carried his siblings around with him in coffins. This knowledge didn't change hannah though, she felt she had a greater understanding of Klaus now and she still loved him, but she couldn't idly stand by and let him kill an innocent girl so he could become a hybrid, though she knew she had no hope in hell of talking him out of it. "now you know all there is to know about me and my past. You can choose to love me still, and love a monster. or do the logical thing and forget about the past few weeks" he said when they were once again in the foyer of the mansion.Hannah looked threw the window, the sun was setting over the horizon and she knew she should go home because her aunt and uncle would be going crazy since the fair. "i will always love you Klaus, i didn't make that choice it just happened!" he stated and looked at him standing her ground.

As she was about to say something more, when there was a chime as the door bell was rang. Klaus opened it and Chelsea stepped threw, She and Klaus exchanged a look Hannah thought they were having some form of an unspoken conversation, then Klaus nodded. "whats going on guys? Chelsea what as you doing here?" they didn't reply, Klaus came back towords Hannah and kissed her on the forehead, she had a bad feeling about this. "i'm sorry love, this is for the best" he said and concentrated into her eyes, she saw his pupils change size, he was about to compel her; Hannah knew it wouldn't work because she still had vervain in her system from the injection Byron gave her but she didn't say anything because she wanted to see what was going to happen and he would then wait till the vervain had gone and she would have no choice. "hannah your going to forget me and everything that has just happened, its going to be like i was never here or in your life; your going to go to india with chelsea and live a long happy human life, a life you could not have had if you were with me, the life you deserve" he said,  a tear rolled down his cheek and Hannah tried hard to keep one from hers. She continued to pretend, it was better if they didn't know and she didn't want to forget. "do you understand?" he said and she nodded not breaking eye contact. "your going to go back to the cottage and then you will go to sleep, when you wake up you wont remember any of this" he said kissed her on the lips this time then turned to Chelsea "take her home"

Klaus's POV

Giving up Hannah was one of the hardest things he had ever brought himself to do the moment he said the words his world crashed around him. as Chelsea lead Hannah out she placed an envelope on the phone table at the edge of the hall, Klaus didn't move he didn't talk he didn't even blink, he just watch Hannah leave. this house reminded him of her, he made his way into his study where he began to work his way around the room crashing, smashing and tearing. he hated himself, he hated this house; he let her go. he had to. He did this in all of the rooms screaming as he went along; Hannah had done this once, she was drunk. he remembered coming home and finding her on the floor humming a tune in exhaustion because he compelled her; that was the day he knew for sure he had feelings for her. and regretted compelling her in such an awful way.

Being as old as he is, Klaus knew that you couldn't turn your emotions of like a switch, they always come back but you came dim them for awhile. for a long time this is what he was like, looking out for himself, being cruel and at times heartless, but not when he met her. no, he couldn't. she made him want to feel. now she was gone he felt that way again, he dimmed his switch once more as tore his house apart, he didn't need this place anymore. He went into the garage where he kept his car and got a bottle of petrol 'this should light up nice!' he thought and rampaged back threw the house throwing it everywhere, over curtains, floors and sofas. anywhere he could. As he doused the main foyer he picked up the brown envelope and opened it seeing an article 'elena gilbert, mystic falls america' he was going to America.

He pulled out a lighter and set the place ablaze. he didn't need it, he knew where is doppelganger was, now he was going to break the curse and be more powerful then anyone could imagine, he would make an army so big that all of his enemy's ran in fear; including Mikael. but first he had to see her one last time to know that she's truly forgotten.
