"I just killed you!" Liam exclaimed. I groaned and staggered to my feet. "Yeah... I don't die easily." I said sarcastically. Scott and Hayden looked shocked. I glared at the three. "You can't really kill a hybrid, guys." I snapped. "What are you?" Scott growled, standing in front of Liam and Hayden. "It's a really long story." I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "We have time." Hayden pointed out with her arms crossed. Liam and Scott exchanged a look and nodded. "I'm a hybrid. A werewolf like you and an original." I began after a moment. "Original?" Liam asked. I nodded. "The oldest vampires." Liam and Scott's eyes widened. Hayden was speechless. "So how old are you?" Scott exclaimed. "Seventeen. Obviously." I rolled my eyes. "But you just said-" I cut Scott off. "My mother is the Original vampire Rebekah. I have the capabilities of an original. Doesn't mean I'm a thousand years old like them." I scoffed. "Oh." Scott mumbled. "My father is also a vampire. The ripper of Monterey, Stefan Salvatore. My true name is Theo Henrik Salvatore." I smirked. "My mother is Rebekah Mikaelson. I was sent away for my own protection. I was bitten when I was eight. The Raekens adopted me." I felt bitter. "I found my father because his brother kidnapped me." I grinned at the memory. "Seriously?" Judging little Hayden sneered. I glared at her. "I'm glad he did or I doubt I would have found my dad. I didn't even know where to start looking." I pointed out. "Why did you care?" Liam asked. "Because it's my parents." I answered simply. "I wanted to know them." Hayden snorted. I ignored her. "It was embarrassing to meet all my dad's friends but I became friends with Jeremy, Tyler, Caroline, and Elena. Jer is our hunter, he's a dork, he can be hot when he wants to be, and he's strong. He's been through so much and he's so strong. Tyler is another Hybrid, a crescent werewolf and a vampire, the first success. He's a jock, he is vicious, blunt, and fiercely loyal. Caroline is our peppy blonde vampire, her mother is the Sheriff, and she's the best. She is smart, optimistic, bubbly and if she doesn't get her way she will be satan's spawn." I grinned. "Elena is maternal. She will move heaven and earth for those she loves. She is so sweet and loving and also optimistic, and she is the moon to Care's sun. They're best friends." I could see the smiles of my friends as I explained them. "I'm the darker, non-jock version of Tyler. I have the brains in the group, and I sure as hell don't play football. I play Lacrosse. I also don't bite my girlfriend randomly because the Original ass Hybrid told me to." I rolled my eyes. Scott, Liam and Hayden looked like I was a lunatic. "Mystic falls is my home. No matter what, it calls to my blood. Literally. The only reason I'm here is because my mate is." I didn't realize that I'd said it until I was met with shocked faces. "Mate?" Scott asked. Liam looked sick. I felt a pang of concern for said mate, who bolted to the washroom and spilled his guts. "Liam?" Hayden squealed with fake concern. I felt my own stomach clench and Scott ran past me to Liam. I followed Scott, my vision hazy. "You knew." Liam croaked, looking at me. "It's me." Scott and Hayden disappeared and it was just me and him. I nodded. "Of course I did. I didn't think you did." I said softly. He looked at me. "Theo I need a hug...." he groaned. I slowly walked over and fell to the floor beside him, pulling him into an embrace. I kissed his silky hair and I felt his head on my chest. "What the hell?!" Hayden's furious shriek brought me back to reality. I glared up at her and Scott as Liam went limp in my arms. He was asleep. "Theo I'll take him to bed." Scott offered, holding out his arms but I snarled at him. "No." He backed up a bit. I felt clingy to Liam now that he partially accepted me. I stroked his hair. He was so beautiful when he slept. I really ended up on Mother Nature's good side. "I'm leaving." Hayden scoffed. "Bye." I called as she stormed out the door. "Good riddance." I added under my breath. Scott chuckled. I looked up at him. "Can you help me?" I asked, looking down at my peaceful mate. He nodded and together we carried Liam to the spare room. I laid him on the bed.
