"You okay? Is Ray getting heavy?" Niklaus asked as we trudged up the Smoky Mountains.

"I'm fine." Stefan replied. He was holding an unconscious Ray on his shoulders and he didn't look very happy.

"You sure about that? You know, we've been walking for quite some time now. If you need some water or a little sit-down..." Niklaus insisted. I would love a sit-down, hiking up a mountain in ankle boots was not a good decision.

"Niklaus..." He turned back to me,"Can you carry me?" I asked giving him my best puppy eyes. He gave me a soft chuckle and crouched down, allowing me to get on his back. I hopped on and stuck my tongue out at Stefan. "See you at the top loser." I said before Niklaus sped off.

We stopped a few feet away from the campsite so the pack wouldn't see us before Stefan arrived. I got down from Niklaus' back, a little dizzy, and observed the pack. They all looked worried, most likely because of Ray. It brought me back to when I was a part of a pack all those years ago. I miss it sometimes, being a part of a group of people just like you.

"You alright love?" Niklaus asked breaking me out of my thoughts. I must've had a sad expression on my face for him to be worried.

"Just thinking." I replied. Niklaus engulfed me into a hug and I sighed into his chest.

"Just know that you can always talk to me, darling." I nodded and nuzzled closer into his warmth. Why do I keep so many secrets from him? All that Niklaus has ever done is love and respect me and I've broken that bond by cheating on him. 

"Are you done?" I rolled my eyes at Stefan for interrupting our moment.

I let go Niklaus and stormed off. "Let's get this over with."

Ray's body landed on the ground with a loud thump. "Ray! Oh, my God. What's going on? Who are you?" A woman with brown hair cried out.

"The important question is who am I." Niklaus said,"Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus."

"You're the hybrid." She said making Niklaus smile.

"You've heard of me. Fantastic." I spotted a nice looking tree trunk and sat on it, watching the spectacle unfold before me. Everyone stood still and watched Niklaus.

"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." He marveled. As if on cue, Ray woke up with a loud gasp.

"Well that was dramatic." I mumbled. I looked to Stefan, who was siting next to me, and caught him smiling at my comment.

"What's happening to me?" Ray asked in fear. Poor guy.

"Stefan?" Niklaus called for his help.

He got up and said,"Are any of you human? Your friend here needs human blood to complete his transition to a vampire. If he doesn't get it, he will die."
