We soon all left the bar and headed for the mansion. It wasn't long before we reentered the room where Thierry laid suffering from the venom that was bestowed upon him only hours before. I wasted no time grabbing a cup of some sort that was lying around and biting into my hand letting my blood run into the cup. As soon as my wound healed I handed the cup to Diego who placed it at the dying vampire's lips and slowly lifted the cup so the red liquid would flow down his throat like a river of blood. Almost instantly the bite started to heal on his neck and he let out a sigh of relief along with the rest of the people in the room. The sudden relief didn't last long though as the one who put us in this spot in the first place walked in.

"What do you want Klaus?" Marcel cautiously approached the new visitor clearly on edge.

"Only to apologize, what I did today was irrational and might have destroyed a friendship I cherish dearly. So not only do I give you my heartfelt apology but also a means to cure your friend," Klaus said seeming sincere.

"I knew you would come around," Marcel happily stated as his face lit up with a smile. His earlier state disappearing within seconds "and hey don't worry about the cure are hybrid already covered that," he moved aside showing that Thierry was healed.

"The other hybrid? I heard about that are you saying it's one of your guys?" He questioned acting as if it was an innocent question.

"All you need to know friend is my hybrid is very loyal to me," Marcel said giving Klaus a pointed stare but I caught the hidden meaning making me roll my eyes. A smirk appeared on Klaus's face as he caught me in my small act of rebellion. I immediately blanked my face not showing any emotion trying to quietly take back what I did but it was too late.

"Well, of course, hybrids have this strange attachment to each other always the need of someone like them to talk to. But then again I did kill my last bunch who were plotting my demise. But still that only leaves me left to wonder if he or she ever feels lonely since we are the only two of our kind, I bet there are many questions," Klaus said glancing once more at me the smirk never leaving his face. I held his gaze but on the inside, I could feel my stomach drop.

"I guess you will never know," Marcel said hinting that a meeting between us two will never happen, he quickly ushered Klaus out of the room turning around he faces me. "I mean it," I gave him a nod acknowledging his command. The thing is what Klaus said was true with no real family and being a rare hybrid I did get lonely and feel out of place, he was also spot on with me having a lot of questions about are kind.

Deciding that I had enough for one day, I headed home where I stayed in a small apartment. Being a hybrid had its perks like the fact that I didn't require a daylight ring. I of course still wore one on my finger to help blend in with the others but it's nothing but for show (the ring up above). Most of Marcel's group of vampires despise me though for the fact that Marcel practically raised me. They think because of that I had easily gotten into the inner circle. The truth is I had done many horrendous tasks for Marcel when I was young, in fact, the majority of the nightwalkers don't know exactly what I am. Only Marcel's inner circle knows that I'm a hybrid.

entering my apartment and retrieving a blood bag from the fridge. I stared at myself in the mirror as the veins under my eyes began to show. I had brown almost black hair with greenish-blue eyes that changed gold when I let my true face show. I also had pale skin like a stereotypical vampire. Marcel never talked about who my parents were and acted like I shouldn't care about it either. But I couldn't help but wonder where I had gotten my looks from and my attitude.

Shaking those thoughts from my head I went straight to bed passing out immediately.

After finally getting through to Niklaus in the slightest. I was still not sure if he was going to agree with the witches but there was no point in bringing it up at this very moment. As I and Niklaus sat on a bench somewhere in the city in silence there was one question nagging at my mind.

"While I was ensuring that the girl and your baby were not killed. What had you done about your little outburst at Marcel's party?" I questioned not looking over at him.

"I put one of my plans in motion" Klaus smugly told me with a smirk.

"The plan to take back the city?" Confused I try to pry more out of my scheming little brother.

"Well in a way I completed the first steps to both of my plans. Offering an apology to Marcel helped to put him at ease. While I got closer to are not so mystery hybrid," cocking my eyebrow I motion for him to explain further. "You see dear brother my random 'outburst' wasn't so random in fact you played quite the role in my plan. When you revealed the fact that a hybrids blood would heal the bite. You then helped to reveal that the hybrid had to be within Marcel's close group because of how quickly he was able to get a hold of a hybrids blood. during my heartfelt apology, Marcel seemed to feel the need to stake his so-called claim on the hybrid. Which was proven false by a not so subtle eye roll? which leads me to believe they know where we can find the hybrid," he said planning his next moves as we talked. But also left me to wonder if his logic was off saying that it was possible he was reading too much into the little details.

"Once you do find this hybrid what do you plan on doing with him or her? Let's not forget the hybrids that had been sires to you turned on you only a month or so ago.

"Yes well I dealt with them thoroughly, now the only hybrids left are me, this mystery one, and the pesky Tyler that's too busy hiding to come out and play. If you haven't noticed I'm quite determined to make this so-called loyalty to Marcel be loyalty to me," he talked as if he had already done the tasks at hand. Obviously not doubting himself in the slightest.
