The Other Hybrid [A TVD & Originals Fanfic]

Chapter 27: The Plan

5 weeks. It has been five weeks since my world once again came crashing down around me; since I found myself lost in a darkness so deep I forgot what light looked like. It has been five weeks since I learned the awful truth.. that the man who had attacked me in such vicious means was in fact the younger sibling of my closest friends. The brother to the man I loved.

 Kol Mikaelson.

When Klaus revealed the truth to me about Kol I didn't believe him. I was in complete denial and refused to think that my tormentor was the brother to the man I held most dear. When I heard his words I screamed my disbelief, convinced this was some sort of sick joke. But my suspicions of this being some mere prank were quickly dissolved when Elijah brought forth an old picture from deep in the attics of their home.

He handed it to me and when I looked upon it I saw the familiar faces of Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah. But I also recognized the face of another. I knew it was Kol immediately and as soon as my revelation became clear I turned in horror and ran to my room. I've been here ever since.

The only thing I knew for certain was the monster who did such terrible things to me was the brother of the man I loved most. How could I get past that? They were brothers; they were born and raised together. They shared the same blood. They were family.

My insides turned at the thought of it. It sickened me to think that I had shared two brothers like some tramp. What was worse was knowing what I had to do next.

I had to leave this place, leave this house, leave this family. Forever. No good came from me being here. It was torment for me to be here. I couldn't even think of Klaus without Kol flashing in my mind. I was being held captive by my nightmares and I had to free myself.

I'd thought it over dozens of times; how I would leave. I contemplated sneaking out in the middle of night or simply just walking out the front door and running down anyone who tried to stop me. I was so ready to be gone. I knew I would feel tremendous pain when I left this place. When I left my Klaus. But I couln't let that cloud my judgment, I needed to think straight. I pushed every thought of him away, blocking him and any emotion of leaving him away. I stopped myself from feeling any sorrow over this. I would be able to get over him. He could be forgotten over time. But bo matter what I overcame I was always held back by one thing. My uncontrollable thirst. I couldn't allow myself to be loose on the public. I would never allow myself to hurt more innocent souls, even if it meant enduring more time in this house with my haunting memories and torturous realities.

I sat up in my bed, looking over to the dark windows across the room. The moon shone bright and full, announcing the night was at its best. A thought sparked in my head as I moved my gaze back to the moon. A full moon to most was simply a normal occurrence, but to me it was much more. I'd never considered the possibility before, the things I was still unaware that I was capable of. I was half werewolf, I could shift with the moon. I'd never turned before because I had protective magic over me, blocking that side of me. I'd had a witch do it with my parents and here Sophie kept it concealed. If Sophie was able to put a spell on me to keep the curse oppressed, maybe she could do a reverse of the spell. Maybe she could make it so that once I turn into a wolf, I stay a wolf.

I stood up and began pacing back and forth as my plan pieced itself together. As a hybrid in this form I craved blood like nothing else, but what if in wolf form that instinct would disappear? Werewolves don't crave blood so if I was in wolf form, there was a definite chance that I could leave and not worry about destroying hordes of people, right?

Pip startled me out of my daze by nudging my leg with his cold nose. I looked down at him, he had grown so much from the scraggly little pup I'd found before. He stood with his head even with my torso, his long legs giving him height, and his muscular build made him look like the fierce animal he was.

Another thought manifested as I looked at  my four-legged friend. What if I went with Pip? What if I stayed with The Firsts? I wouldn't have to worry about Klaus or Elijah or anyone trying to bring me back if I was with Pip's family. I would be free from humans and vampires alike, I would be able to sleep without the memories of the past pulling at me from every corner. I would simply be a wolf with other wolves.

But what did I really know about The Firsts? I knew almost nothing, all I was sure of was that Pip was here to protect me, and if he tried to stop me from carrying out my plan I would remind him of that. If he refused to help me and I had to stay here a day longer I would end this entire thing on my own terms. I reached down and fiddled with the daylight ring on  my finger. If he tried to deny me I would threaten to burn myself to death. I would dispose of my ring and expose myself to the sun and end it all, that went against everything he stood for. He had to help me.

I felt bad for thinking of ways to threaten him into helping me, but I needed assurance that he would help me.

This was it, this was the key to my escape. This is how I could free myself from these walls and the horrible things they made my mind recall. This is how I was going to start over. This was the plan.

Now its time to set it into motion.

I walked over to my bedroom door and turned the handle, stepping out into the hall and slowly walking down the long corridor to Hayley's room. I lightly tapped the door and waited for a response, which was almost instant. Hayley looked at me in shock, surprised to see me emerged from my desolation.

Before she could speak a word, I made my point simple and clear;

"I need you to help me get in touch with Sophie Devereaux. Don't ask why, I just need to know if you can help me or not."

Her eyebrows knit together but she shook her head as she looked me over curiously, "I'll see what I can do."

I didn't stick around after she answered, I simply turned and walked away. Getting Sophie to do the spell was step one of a spiraling endeavour I was determined to accomplish. If this works, if this actually happens, I'll be free. I won't have to hide anymore. I can live without the fear of hurting people, I can forget everything that haunts me. I can forget Klaus and Kol, I can forget the Mikaelsons. I can forget the miracle baby and this house and everything I've ever felt while being here.

I can start over, start clean.

But first came goodbye.
