NOTE; FLASHBACKS ARE USUALLY TO WHEN THEY WERE ALL HUMAN AND ARE IN ITALICS - ENJOY THE CHAPTER.

elijah had followed after the two newly turned hybrids for two days and between them the two wolves had slaughtered dozens. elijah had watched elle's pure white wolf form and niklaus' dark brown one chase after one another, hunting together.

despite everything, Elijah felt happy for elle. though she didn't mention it, he knew she missed being a wolf from the days before they were turned. she had told him that she loved the rush and being so close to nature, that you could only ever feel in wolf form. saying it felt euphoric.

elijah sat down next to niklaus, atop the hill that overlooked the entire village. his brother had told elijah of elle's first transformtion and that he had wanted to see her, and as klaus wasn't allowed to watch the wolves alone, elijah had joined him. he watched as his brother stared at one wolf in particular. it was snow white and pure, it had to be Elle.

"you love her, don't you niklaus..." elijah asked his brother, knowing the answer already. he wasn't blind, he could see the way that niklaus looked at the girl. it was different to how the other men lusted after her, he showed admiration and pure intentions.

"what gave me away, brother?" klaus looked down, a smile on his lips.

"the fact that you'd risk your life in coming out here while the men turn to beasts, just to oversee elle's first transistion."  with that niklaus turned back to the clearing, watching the snow white wolf race through the trees, she was beautiful.

"i needed to ensure that she was safe."  klaus added, watching elle in awe. "but it seems that she is more at peace than ever before."

;;;

elle sat up, blinking in the sudden sunlight. a smile formed on her lips immediately as images rushed through her mind like a film strip. it was unlike any transistion she had ever been through as a wolf, she could remember it all. she remembered every kill, every second of racing through the forest, she remembered everything.

when a pile of clothing is dropped on her lap, she quickly threw the cotton slip dress over her head, realising she was in company. niklaus was sat not too far away from her, also naked and also grinning. he turned his head to look at her, licking his lips slightly. they were both completely covered in dirt with leaves scattered in their hair, but neither cared.

"you two've been busy." a voice muses, causing both hybrids to snap their heads in the direction of the voice, only to be met with elijah, who was standing in a pristine suit.

"that was amazing." klaus mumbles, in an almost mesmerised tone.

"euphoric." elle mumbles.

"how long has it been?" nik asks his brother, pulling the jeans on that elijah had given to him, while elle tried to look any where other than his naked body.
