Athena's POV

"If we survive this, remind me to kill you for trusting Katherine Pierce" I tell Hayley.

"Hey, I didn't know she was a lying two faced bitch" she tells me. "How was I to know she was going to send someone to kill us?" she asks.

"Well with any luck, we'll be safe soon" I tell her as we walked through a truck stop.

"Yeah, who did you call again?" she asks me.

"The last person I expected to call" I state. Suddenly we hear something hitting metal. We stop and look around warily. We hear the noise again behind us and turn to see a man. "Hayley, run!" I shout as he vamp speeds over to us. He throws me into one of the eighteen wheelers. He then grabs Hayley by the throat, and slams her against the side of one of the trucks. Starting to choke her. "Get away from her!" I shout and ram him away from her.

Hayley fell to the ground coughing. He throws me into her and we land on a heap on the floor. He stalks towards us. Before he can harm us any further, Klaus vamp runs up to the rogue vamp, grabs him by his jacket, and spins him around to face him. Eyes glowing and fangs bared.

"Have a care, mate. That's no way to treat two ladies" he tells him. Klaus bites down on the vamp's neck. The vampire screams as Klaus continues to bite down on him. Klaus stops feasting on the vamp and throws him against one of the trucks. The vamp falls to the ground. Klaus looks down at Hayley and I.

"You called Klaus?" Hayley asks me shocked as I got to my feet. Offering her my hand.

"Didn't think you'd come" I tell him.

"Well, you did say it was urgent and I guess I do owe you one" he states. The vamp that Klaus attacked is writhing on the ground, gripping his neck wound and moaning. Hayley looks over at the vamp lying on the ground. He suddenly gets up and vamp runs away. "Oh, don't worry about him, love. He'll never make it through tomorrow night" he tells her.

"What if there are more?" she asks.

"I doubt it" I tell her as I run a hand through my short hair. I had cut it after mum's memorial. When Tyler and I left town.

"You were foolish enough to make a deal with Katerina Petrova. She used you to find the cure and now you're nothing but a loose end. You'll be lucky if she lets you both live" Klaus states.

"You said you would protect us" I remind him.

"And I will little wolf" he assures me. "Just as soon as Hayley here tells me everything she knows about Katerina" he states looking at her.

"Fine, but can we return to Mystic Falls first?" I ask him. He nods and he drove us there. Hayley and I decided to shower before she tells him anything. Afterwards we headed downstairs to see a meal prepared for us and Klaus.

"I thought we should discuss matters in a civilized fashion" he states.

"That will require wine or bourbon" I tell him. He took out a wine bottle pouring us all a glass. We ate in silence enjoying our wine. Hayley and I are on our third glass after we had finished eating. Hayley, pulled her foot up onto her chair, takes a sip of wine.

"So, you're rested, you're fed. Tell me about Katerina" Klaus says to her.

"Most men get their power kick from torture and intimidation. With you, it's drinks and fine dining" Hayley states. Klaus smiles.

"Oh trust me Hayley, he loves torture and intimidation" I tell her.

"True, but in your case, I favor hospitality over unpleasantness. But I have been known to change my mind on a whim, as Athena knows. Where is Katerina?" Klaus asks us.

"Never meet her, it was all Hayley" I tell him.

"You seriously think I know?" Hayley asks him.

"You tipped her off as to what we were up to and set her on a course to find the cure. In return, she sent her lackey to snuff you out, along with Athena. Tell me, what did Katerina promise you?" he asks her.

"I was in New Orleans trying to find information about my real parents. Katherine found me and told me she could help" she admits.

"An orphan? Well, that does explain your charming bravado. Abandonment issues will do it every time" Klaus states.

"Sounds like you would know" she states.

"I'm the only one that can protect you both. I'm happy to do so, provided you cooperate" he states.

"Yeah well, I'm going to need a stronger drink" I state after I finished my wine.

"What has you in a mood little wolf?" he asks me.

"You killed my mother, member?" I ask him. "I only asked for your help, because you owed me after killing my mother and making Tyler and I orphans" I states.

"You can't blame me love, I was enraged by your brother unsiring my hybrids. Leading me to having to kill them all. I wanted him to suffer" he states.

"Yet, you still plan on killing him. Leaving me with no family" I state. I get up. "I'm gonna go find a stronger drink" I tell the pair and left. I found his bourbon and took a bottle along with a glass. I found his art room and started to nose around. Hayley soon appears with her wine.

"Snooping?" she asks me.

"I was bored" I tell her. I hear Klaus enter. "What do you think of Klaus' paintings?" I ask her with a smirk.

"Well I hate that" she says pointing to one. "Too much. I don't get that" she states and I chuckle. I pick up one of the smaller paintings joining in.

"Hmm...I don't care" I say tossing it. Hayley picks up another. "This one" I muse as I examine it with her.

"Doesn't make us want to puke" Hayley finishes. She puts it back down. "Why'd you paint it?" she asks Klaus curious as I enjoy my bourbon.

"Painting is a metaphor for control. Every choice is mine-- the canvas, the color" Klaus states as he walks over to us. "As a child, I had neither a sense of the world nor my place in it, but art taught me that one's vision can be achieved with sheer force of will. The same is true of life, provided one refuses to let anything stand in one's way" he explains.

Hayley snorts slightly as I roll my eyes. We look at Klaus through hooded eyes. We lean forward to whisper in his ears. "So this is your thing?" I ask him teasingly. I'm a flirtatious drunk and have been known to make stupid decisions when drunk. I usually wake up next to some guy I don't know.

"Show a girl a few mediocre paintings, whine about your childhood, and we swoon and spill all our dirty secrets?" Hayley asks.

"I felt I had many charms, but, uh, regardless, I'm enjoying myself" Klaus tells us. I roll my eyes and pour myself another glass of bourbon. "Maybe you should slow down" he tells me.

"You're not my dad, so can't tell me what to do" I tell him.

"And you do whatever you enjoy" Hayley says taking his attention from me. I slip out of the room. So that I can drink in peace. Hayley finds me by the fire place and takes my bourbon away.

"No" I whine.

"I'm cutting you off" she tells me and I roll my eyes as I get to my feet. My mind is really hazy and I'm horny. Mixing drinks does that to me.

"Please, you're as wasted as I am" I tell her. Just then Klaus appears. "Oh joy, he's back" I say.

"This is my house little wolf" he reminds me as he stands in front of Hayley and I. "My sister informs me that your vampire assailant is dead, so you both are safe and free to go. Or stay" he tells us. I look at Hayley and we look at him.

"I could be persuaded to stay" I say seductively.

"Same, enjoy some of the good life" Hayley adds. "And maybe I could drum up a few more of Katherine's secrets and you could do something for us" she states.

"Oh, I'm sorry, love, but you'll never convince me to let Tyler go free" he states.

"Well, then, I guess I'll never get my chance with Tyler any more than you'll get a shot with Caroline" Hayley states. We go to leave. I pause and look back at Klaus.

"Do you wanna know why we like that painting?" I ask him with a slur.

"Well, perhaps it was because it allowed you to see into my deep, wounded soul" he suggests. We shake our heads and walk over to him.

"We saw how twisted it really is" Hayley tells him. We bite our lips. "And maybe we can relate" we tell him. Klaus walks closer to us.

"So what's it gonna be? Going? Or staying?" he asks us.

"You like to be in control. You tell us" I tell him. He brushes his hands against our cheeks. Then kisses me passionately. He pulls away and Hayley removes his shirt. He kisses her while I removed my jacket. I then pull him away from Hayley and kiss him again. As Hayley removed her shirt.

He vamp speeds me onto a table. He pulls away and I remove my shirt. Klaus pushes me down flat onto the table, then mounts me. Kissing my neck as Hayley came up behind him and kissed his shoulder. You know what happened next.

(Time skip)

"God I'm such an idiot" I grumble as I got dressed with Hayley. I can't we believe I had a threesome with Klaus. It's not the first time Hayley and I have had a threesome with a guy. But Klaus murdered my mother.

"Running away little wolves?" Klaus asks us amused. Hayley smiles a bit but doesn't say anything. Klaus reaches out and pulls her shoulder back a little, having spotted a strange mark on Hayley's back. It looks like a crescent moon. I put my shirt back on.

"What?" she asks him.

"That mark. I've seen it before" he tells her.

"Yeah. It's a birthmark. People have those" she tells him.

"In my considerable lifetime, I've only seen that mark on a handful of others, all from the same bloodline-- a werewolf clan that once thrived throughout much of what we now call Louisiana" Klaus states. Hayley stands facing him.

"Don't lie to me-- not about this" she tells him.

"I wouldn't dare. Matters of family are sacred" he states.

"Tell me" she says. I left them to go find my jacket. I put it on as Hayley appeared. "We're going back to New Orleans, the French Quarter" she states. I nod my head and we left.

"Hayley we never speak of this ever and don't ever tell Tyler" I tell her.

"I promise" she tells me.

"I blame the full moon, I'm still horny from it and mixed drinks. Not a good combo" I state. "Lets go to the airport and I'll check flights along the way" I tell her. She nods her head and we got a car. She drove as I looked up flights.
