Sleeping Beauty- Klaus Mikaelson

80 -4x10

It had now been a full month since Eira killed Klaus's hybrids. She was better now, she was okay and she was somewhat changed. She was more independent than ever and she had a new sense of purpose: family above all.

Damon had been gone for a week. He went to the Gilbert family lake house to train Jeremy to get his hunter's mark. Stefan stayed with Eira, but he really just wanted to spend time with Rebekah.

Stefan was with Rebekah in his room. They were happy and they were holding hands as they sat next to each other on his bed. But, Rebekah sighed,"I'd stay here with you all day, but I called my brother, Kol. He's going to help me get one step closer to the cure."

Stefan sighed as well,"Fine. Go to your brother."

Stefan kissed her a goodbye. Once Stefan stopped kissing her, she took a deep breath, getting her bearings before she vamp sped away from him, leaving him with a frown.

Damon was training Jeremy to become a hunter. Jeremy was putting bullets into the gun chamber, but he was slow about it and Damon told him to repeat it. Then Damon asked Jeremy if he heard from Elena when Klaus walked through the back yard.

"I'm sorry, am I interrupting play time?" Klaus smirked, walking through the back yard.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Jeremy asked.

"I'm simply appreciating the sights and smells of Nature, neither of which presently include rotting vampire flesh, so I'm a bit concerned. How many vampires has he killed?" Klaus questioned, being immediately reminded of Eira once he said the word 'Nature'.

Klaus missed her dearly, but he had come to accept that she did not want him anymore nor did she love him. Even though it hurt, he accepted the fact that he would never be with her again. Since he was very much heartbroken, he put all his attention to finding the cure.

"If we throw Jeremy out into the real world right now, he's chum," Damon replied, being vague.

"Yeah, see, that's not a number. Twelve. That's a number. That's how many of my hybrids that Eira killed. Three. That's how many days it took to quell the urge to kill Tyler after he used her in a scheme to get rid of me. One. That's the number of purposes you serve," Klaus said, threateningly walking towards Damon. "You are here to grow Jeremy's mark, so I'll ask again...How many vampires has he killed since he's been here?"

"Zero," Damon glared.

"That's a pity. I'm going to need that cure sooner rather than later. Hybrid shortage and all. How can I help?" Klaus smirked.

"You know, now that you mention it," Damon picked up the gun off the picnic table, putting bullets into the gun chamber, then putting the gun chamber back into the gun. "Jeremy, watch and learn."

Damon quickly fired two bullets at Klaus, hitting him in the chest. Klaus groaned and glared at Damon. Klaus held himself up by leaning against a tree, being in pain.

"That's for my sister getting caught up in your sired hybrid failure," Damon stated.
