DraculaWolf and Ripperboy and I are walking in the mountains. Stefan is carrying Ray, unconscious, on his shoulders.

"You okay? Is Ray getting heavy?" Klaus taunts

"I'm fine." Stefan blurts

"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..."

"I'll take one of those, thank you" I sit down on a boulder

"You know, I get that we're, uh...we're stuck together, but if we could maybe just skip the chitchat, it'd be great."

"Agreed" I add

"So much brooding. Your self-loathing is suffocating you, my friend."

"Maybe it's 'cause I'm a little tired of hunting werewolves. We've been at it all summer."

"Thanks to our pal Ray, we found ourselves a pack. There."

We stop at a pack's camp. Stefan enters the camp. Everyone looks at him. He throws Ray to the ground. A woman rushes over to him.

"Ray! Oh, my God. What's going on? Who are you?" Klaus joins Stefan.

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

"You're the hybrid." The woman and of course Klaus smiles.

Klaus: You've heard of me. Fantastic.

Klaus and Stefan are sitting. Everyone is standing still, looking at Klaus and listening. I stand with my arms crossed uncomfortable.

"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."

Ray wakes up gasping for air

"Excellent timing, Ray. Very dramatic."

"Of course draculawolf queen of drama"

"What's happening to me?"

"Stefan?" Klaus says and Stefan stands up

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

"Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?" Klaus says

"Look I wouldn't want to do this either but you guys don't have a choice" I speak up telling them like it is and Klaus spots a man

"you!" Klaus calls to a blonde human. He rushes over to him and bites his forearm. Stefan grabs him, throws him on the ground in front of Ray. The woman protests but Klaus strangles her.

"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will. Problem is I don't know how to stop."

"It's the new order, sweetheart. You join us, or you die."

"I'd rather die than be a vampire." She spits

"Wrong choice." I say knowingly. He gives her his blood. Ray drinks the blood from the man.
