Chapter 29

Niklaus was making Stefan carry Ray up the Smokey mountains, and I was walking next to Stefan, just behind Klaus.
"You okay? Is Ray getting too heavy?" Klaus asked the youngest vampire. Stefan rolled his eyes groaning in annoyance.
"I'm fine." He says with no emotion in his voice.
"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..." Klaus asked mockingly.
"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." Stefan said. I admire how fearless Stefan is talking to my brother.
"So much brooding. Your self-loathing is suffocating you, my friend." Klaus said.
"Your voice is making me want to jump off the mountain. Shut the hell up." I said to my brother, who turned around, grabbing me by the throat. "Phesmotos Insidnea." I said, burning my brothers arm, he drops me reluctantly, patting out the fire.
"Ow." He said in annoyance.
"Maybe I'm brooding cause I'm a little tired of hunting werewolves. We've been at it all summer." Stefan said, drawing Klaus' attention away from me.
"Thanks to our pal Ray, we found ourselves a pack. There." Klaus said, pointing to a group of what looks like campers. Klaus walks right in the middle of the group, and Stefan throws Ray onto the ground. A brunette woman rushes up to him.
"Ray! Oh, my God. What's going on? Who are you people?" She asked in a panicked voice. I'm assuming that this is rays lover or sister. Can't really tell.
"The important question is who am I. Please forgive the intrusion. My name is Klaus." Klaus said.
"You do realize that her saying you people' included you too, right?" I asked my older brother.
"You're the hybrid." The woman said, staring at Klaus in fear and awe.
"You've heard of me! Fantastic!" He said, smiling and clapping his hands together. "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." Klaus says as Ray waked up. "Perfect timing Ray. Very dramatic."
"What's happening to me?" Ray asked in confusion.
"Stefan?" Klaus asked. Stefan nodded, getting up from where he was sitting.
"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." Stefan said.
"Doesn't take much, just a sip. Anyone? A boyfriend, a girlfriend, along for the ride?" Klaus asked, looking around the camp before looking at a skinny man. "You!" He rushes over to them and, biting his arm. Klaus hands Stefan the body, as a woman goes to tackle Klaus. I speed up to her, grabbing her by the neck.
"I wouldn't do that." I said, smiling.
"Your eyes... they are purple." She said to me. I rolled my eyes.
"How observant." I sighed.
"If you don't drink it, Ray, I will. Problem is I don't know how to stop." Stefan said to the struggling to make a decision. Klaus looks at the woman I'm strangling.
"It's the new order, sweetheart. You join us, or you die." Klaus said.
"I'd rather die then be a vampire." She said. Klaus started to laugh.
"Wrong choice. Have your way." He said to me, I smiled at her, and she spit in my face.
"Well I was gonna make your death short and painless, but I think I'm gonna turn your brain into putty!" I smiled at her. "Phesmotos Mayum." I said as she fell, screaming in pain. I then snap her neck. I turn around to see Ray feeding on the human.
"Okay who's next?" Klaus asked in amusement. ____________________________________
Klaus ended up turning every wolf there was in the camp, and Ray was standing there in horror.
"They're all dead. Everyone is dead." Ray said, looking at his fallen pack.
"Ah, he's through his transition. He should be feeling better soon." Klaus said, smiling.
"So is this your master plan? Build an army of hybrid slaves?" Stefan asked.
"No, not slaves. Soldiers, comrades." Klaus said to Stefan, smiling.
"For what war, might I ask, Nik?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"Oh, you don't arm yourself after war has been declared, Sister. You build your army so big that no one ever dares pick a fight." Klaus said. I rolled my eyes.
"You're an Original... you're already untouchable." I said to him, making him scoff. "What makes you so sure that they'll be loyal?"
"Well, it's not difficult to be loyal when you're on the winning team. That's something you'll learn once you shake that horribly depressive chip off your shoulder." Klaus said to me.
"That's why you're, uh...you're keeping me around? To witness my attitude adjustment? Is that why I'm not in a casket?" I asked.
"I was actually talking to Stefan, who I like." Klaus said to me. He went to Ray, noticing that his eyes are bleeding.
"You'll know why I'm keeping you around when I've decided that I want you to know, sister." He wiped rays fave, but the bloody tears kept coming. "Well somethings wrong."
"That shouldn't be happening, should it?" Stefan asked.
"Well obviously." Klaus said.
"You said I was gonna feel better? Why don't I feel better?" Ray asked.
"Some master race, brother." I said, looking at the whining wolf hybrid thing.
"Lose your attitude." Klaus said to me. The woman wakes up, looking around. "Derek, come feed your girl." Klaus said, looking at the human. Ray gets up and runs away, making Klaus look at stefan and I.
"Go get him." Stefan and I speed after the delusional hybrid. Stefan gets to day first, jumping onto him. Ray flips Stefan over, biting him before he leaves.
"Oh my god! Stefan." I said in a panic, rushing over to examine the wound. Stefan pulls away, before looking away.
"What are you guys? Twelve?!" I hear Alaric's voice say, annoyed. I looked at Stefan.
"What do they not understand about me not wanting to be found?!" Stefan asked, freaking out.
"They love you. They aren't gonna stop." I said to Stefan. Klaus speeds up to us, and I walk up to him, blocking his vision of the Scooby Gang.
"Where did he go?" He asked me, looking down.
"He, uh...he got away. Forget him. Let's go." Stefan said, pulling me away from my brothers deadly gaze. Klaus looks at Stefans arm, grabbing it.
"A fatal werewolf bite. Ouch." Klaus said to Stefan. I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah. I'm gonna need your blood to heal me." Stefan said, smiling at Klaus.
"Well, I tell you what. You two find Ray, and then I'll heal you." Klaus said.
"You can't be serious." I said to my brother, crossing my arms.
"You'd better hurry. That bite looks nasty." Klaus said, waking away.

I was watching Damon walk around in the woods, as Stefan was standing behind me. Ray rushes up to Damon, pinning him to a tree. I rush to the two, pulling Rays heart out.
"Fancy meeting you two here." Damon said, smirking at Stefan and I.
"What part of 'don't follow us' for lost in translation, Damon?" Stefan asked his older brother.
"Might want to take it up with my girlfriend. You don't want her chasing you? You know that's not gonna happen. Youre her best friend." Damon said to Stefan.
"She has to. Because I'm never coming back. Why don't you get her home? See if you could keep her there this time." Stefan said.
"I'm sorry Damon." I said looking at the rather pissed Vampire.
"Your apologies mean nothing to me. I hope you suffer at the hands of Klaus."
"I'd do anything for my family. You have proven you'd do the same. We are quite alike, Damon." I said, turning around walking away. I took Stefan hand, practically dragging him to Klaus. And Stefan was dragging Ray.
"They went rabid. Some of them, I killed. The others just...Bled out. In the end...They're all dead." Klaus said once he felt us there. He turned to the sky, screaming. "IVE DONE EVERYTHING YOU ASKED!" Klaus turns back around to me, trying to keep his anger under control. "I should be able to turn them. I broke the curse. I killed a werewolf. I killed a vampire. I killed the doppelgänger." Stefan stood there uncomfortable, looking at the angry hybrid. "You look like hell."
        "Last I checked, I'm dying...and you don't want to heal me." Stefan said, weakly.  Klaus looked down, only to see a dead Ray. "I had to take him out. I didn't have a choice. I failed you. I'm sorry. Do what you have to do."
        Instead of killing Stefan, Klaus just looks at him. "It should have worked." He said, grabbing and empty beer bottle, dropping his blood into it. "Bottoms up. We are leaving." Klaus said as Stefan drank.
