Third person p.o.v.
Klaus, Arabella, and Stefan biked along through the woods, trying to get to where the pack was meeting. Stefan was carrying Ray's dead body over his shoulder as Arabella walked behind Klaus.

"You ok?" Klaus taunted to Stefan "Is Ray getting heavy?"

"I'm fine." Stefan said back.

"You sure about that?" Klaus asks him with a smirk. "You know, we've been walking for quite some time now. If you need some water or a little sit-down..."

Stefan sighs in annoyance as Arabella snickers next to Stefan. Stefan tried to walk ahead of Klaus.

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

"So much brooding." Klaus notes. "You're self-loathing is suffocating you, my friend."

Arabella cuts in. "Maybe it's 'cause we're a little tired of hunting werewolves. We've been at it all summer."

Klaus smiles at her. "Well, my love, thanks to our pal Ray, we found ourselves a pack."

The three turn to see at least a dozen people walking around, carrying things and preparing for the full moon tonight. They all looked busy doing their own things. The Salvatores looks at the pack while Klaus eyes them.

"There." Klaus says as Stefan and Arabella step forward. Everyone's eyes go to them as they stop their activities. They all stand up as Stefan puts Ray's body on the floor.

"Ray! Oh, my god." A woman yells out, going on the floor to Ray's side. A man travels to the woman's side as she inspects the blood. "What's going on?"

"Who are you?" The woman bitterly as she looks up at Stefan.

"The important question is who am I." Klaus says as he steps into view. The woman's eyes go to Klaus as he looks at the pack. "Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus."

The woman stands up slowly as the man puts her behind him. "You're the Hybrid."

"You've heard of me. Fantastic." Klaus says smirking. Arabella rolls her eyes at his growing ego.

Klaus, Arabella, and Stefan were seated on a log as Klaus bragged about himself. Arabella didn't much care, as she was picking the dirt from her nails.

"It's fascinating, actually- a werewolf who isn't beholden to the moon, a vampire who doesn't burn in the sun." Klaus says. "A true hybrid."

At that moment, Ray gasped awake. Everyone turned towards him as Klaus got up from the log, pulling Arabella with him.

"Excellent timing, Ray." Klaus says as Ray looks around confused. "Very dramatic."

"What's happening to me?" Ray asks anyone who was standing around him. The pack doesn't meet his eyes.

"Stefan." Klaus signals. Stefan stands as Arabella eyes everyone.
