"it's fascinating, actually... a werewolf who isn't beholden to the moon, a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun. a true hybrid." elle was sat next to stefan on the rock, making sure he was between her and klaus. she looks down at ray on the ground in contempt and tries to stop herself from rolling her eyes at klaus' speech.

"i think i might have picked up some of your brooding cynicism." she mumbles, nudging stefan. the vampire only glares back at her in response. klaus, who'd been listening in to them goes to open his mouth only to close it again when ray gasps, spluttering back to life.

"excellent timing, ray. very dramatic."

elle chuckles at klaus' words. "cute. that's something you guys have in common."

"what's happening to me?" ray interrupts before klaus can react.

"stefan?" he then calls, signalling for him to get up. elle shuffles over when he does so, having more room to stretch out.

"are any of you human?"

elle looks at klaus with eyebrows raised.

"what?"

"getting stefan to do more of your dirty work, really?"

"don't be like that sweetheart, that's what he's for."

"don't call me that."

the two are brought out of their bickering when stefan addresses the pack.

"your friend here needs human blood to complete his transition to vampire. if he doesn't get it, he will die."

"it doesn't take much, just a sample." elle nods, also standing up and moving further away from klaus.

"anyone? a boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?" no sooner than she is away from him, niklaus follows her, placing a hand on her shoulder.

elle looks around the camp, scanning her eyes over everyone. almost immediately her eyes land on a man, clearly human.

klaus spots the same man just as soon as she does. "you." he grabs the nervous man and quickly bites his forearm. he throws him to stefan who catches him and drops him to the ground next to ray. elle cringes at the screams erupting from a woman's throat at the sight of her boyfriend on the ground. as klaus restrains her, elle kicks ray lightly with her foot, nudging him towards the man he needed to feed from.

"go on, ray. it tastes pretty good." she encourages, smirking at the writhing man on the floor.

"if you don't drink it, ray, i will. problem is i don't know how to stop." stefan then says, still pinning down the human.

"he's got a greed problem." elle nods. "you wouldn't wanna see it."

klaus smirks at elle before turning back to the woman in his arms. "it's the new order, love. you join us, or you die."

"i'd rather die than be a vampire."

elle cringes at her words. "respect the plucky resilience." she nods, looking between her and klaus, knowing what would come next. "but-"

"-wrong choice." klaus finishes, opening one of his own veins and forcing his arm into her mouth. as she feeds from klaus, ray simultaneously begins drinking from the man on the ground. elle watches on and takes a step back.

"she'll thank me for that later." klaus smirks, dropping the now dead body of the werewolf. as he returns to elle's side she watches as he licks his blood covered fingers. he smiles devilishly at her before turning back to the pack.

"ok, who's next?"
