It Takes Three To Tango (TW&TVD FanFic)

The Hurtful Truth

"Well I will try and keep this short-", sighing Caroline really didn't want to tell them, But they sadly have been strung along into it by the bastard himself.

They relocated back downstairs in the living room. It really was the only place with furniture for guests right now. Caroline is pacing in front of the two men sitting on the couch. Derek and Stiles are surprisingly not interrupting her thought process.

"That was Klaus, well Niklaus, but whatever. He is one of the original family of vampires, thousands of years old and is a hybrid. That means he is a werewolf and a vampire. I know it sounds crazy, but he was born a werewolf and then was made into a vampire. Then he took centuries to try and find a way to make him be both because of the the moon curse thing. One of my friends back where I lived before here, Mystic Falls, was a pretrova doppelganger so her blood helped him transform into his hybrid status. He is a killer and has an unnatural obsession with me", Caroline stopped rambling. Looking back at her boys she sees some confusion, but looks like they followed along.

"Well...okay." Stiles didn't know what else to say, but didn't want to keep her waiting for a response.

"So, Hybrid? Sounds interesting." Derek said in a strange, but curious tone.

"It is interesting, But I've had enough of this Hybrid. I was nice for too long." Caroline replied.

"You will have nothing to worry about with us around. We will do all we can to help and protect you." Derek said in a reassuring tone.

He stood, and walked to Caroline and gave her a soft peck on her forehead. "I really could get used to this." She kept thinking.

"How about we go to my place and all get to know each other more?" Derek continued, "Stiles, you in?"

"Ofcourse."

"Well, let me leave my Mom a note and we can be on our way!" Caroline said happily.

As they walk outside she notices how nice his car is right away. "Whoa this is your car?" With a shocked expression she stares at the sleek shiny black car in front of her house. Hearing a snort followed by a laugh she looks at Stiles. He just gives her a knowing expression.

Unlocking the car, Derek slides into the drivers seat. Without any discussion Caroline gets in the back leaving the front for Stiles. The whole ride was pretty quiet, but thankfully it wasn't awkward or weird. It still surprised Caroline so much that she felt this way in such a short period of time.

Seeing the burned down house come into view, Caroline wonders out loud what happened to such a beautiful home. It suddenly got a little tense inside the car. Looking at Derek's face broke her heart. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend-", Derek cuts her off. "It's fine you will soon know anyways", giving her a small smile like resembled a grimace.

Getting out of the car they all went inside the beat down house

The three of them have been sitting on the rundown couch for awhile now. The silence wasn't as bad as she thought it was, but Caroline knew she had to keep quiet. Looking at both their faces she just knew the story was going to be horrible.

"Well I should probably start with when I was a teenager, around sixteen, I was dating this older woman named Kate. I thought we were in love. I foolishly was blind by her womanly charm. Come to find out she was a hunter. All she wanted from me was a way in. A way in towards our werewolf territory", taking a harsh breath, Derek tried to settle his thoughts and finish his horrible past.

"One night our home was surrounded by hunters. They burned our house down with everything, and everyone inside. Everyone wasn't a werewolf, there were some humans in my family. They all died except for Laura and Peter, But both of them are dead now too", wiping his face with a hard hand, Derek couldn't help but feel horrible. Stiles didn't say anything just took Derek's other hand in his, which made him feel a bit better.
