Chapter Eight: Bloodletting

Nobody's Pov

Everyone impatiently waited for Gertrude to play the next episode, wanting to know what's going to happen with Big kidnapped by whoever.

Ken was impatiently tapping his foot on the ground while shooting glares at the witch.

If you could see the look in his eyes you can tell he was gesturing for her to hurry the hell up.

Gertrude rolled her eyes at the bodyguard, along with everyone else, before sighing.

Without waiting any longer, the next episode began to play.

The screen turned on and the camera pans to a road where we see a truck driving late at night.

The camera pans inside of the truck. We head into the back, the trunk, and we see Holden with a slight bleeding forehead laying on the ground unconscious.

"Big!" everyone yelled with wide eyes.

They didn't know if they should be relieved that they were seeing him or worried over the fact that he was unconscious.

The blood on his forehead wasn't easing any of their worries.

Holden groans and slowly wakes up. Once his vision was cleared and he realized he wasn't at the mansion he looked down at his hands and saw that they were bound together.

Holden looks around, trying to find a way out, and begins to kick open the back window to escape. He struggles trying to get the glass to break and before he knew it the driver stopped the car.

"He seriously can't open the window? It's made of glass, it should be a piece of cake" Porsche rolled his eyes.

He thought Big was supposed to be one of the best bodyguards, he was Kinn's head bodyguard for a while from what he learned, yet escaping from whoever kidnapped him seemed hard.

It's pathetic, really.

"Porsche, he was literally knocked out meaning his strength is a bit weak" Jom said.

"Meaning it'll be a bit impossible to break the glass with just his feet. Especially when his hands are bound" Tem added.

"And lets not forget that he was fucking kidnapped and could be in danger, you idiot" Ken gritted out.

He hated the way Porsche spoke about his best friend like he was stupid.

If anyone is stupid it's Porsche himself.

And he wonders why he and Big hated him and never made any effort to get to know him better.

Holden heard the driver get out of the car, shutting the door, before footsteps were heard and the driver stopped in front of the trunk.

The driver breaks the glass window easily before opening the trunk.

Holden didn't hesitate to start kicking the driver, trying to push him back so he could get out and make a run for it, but the driver quickly grabbed his foot.

"Seriously?" the driver asked in annoyance.

Holden looked up at the man and saw a guy that could be around his age.

"Who's that?" Kim asked, looking at Gertrude.

"That's Tyler Lockwood. He's a hybrid, a hybrid that was turned by Klaus himself, and he and Hayley were old friends" Gertrude explained.

Everyone glanced at each other before looking back at the witch.

"If he and Hayley are friends why did he go after her and Big?" Pete asked in confusion.

"Holden" Gertrude corrected them.

They all ignored her and waited for her to answer the second question.

"And he was mainly after Hayley because of something she did back at a previous town she was at, Mystic Falls" Gertrude explained.

"But he took Holden instead?" Vegas asked, confused.

Gertrude sighed, "just continue watching and it'll be explained soon".

She didn't wait for them to respond and resumed the episode.

"Who the fuck are you?!" Holden yelled, glaring at the man.

"I could be asking you the same thing" Tyler shot back, glaring at the Marshall male.

Holden continued glaring at the man and went back to kicking him but the man restrained both his feet.

"You don't want to fight me. You know you can't beat a hybrid" Tyler told him.

"Cocky much" Vegas scoffed with a shake of his head.

"You're one to talk" Tankhun scoffed with a roll of his eyes.

Vegas shot his cousin a glare to which his cousin glared back at him. Pete simply laughed in amusement.

He doesn't wait for a response and quickly ties his legs together so that he can't get away.

"Let me go you half breed piece of shit!" Holden yelled, trying his best to get away.

"Shut up!" Tyler yelled at him.

He pulls Holden out of the trunk before throwing him over his shoulder. He begins walking while Holden thrashes in his arms.

The camera pans to Tyler's face and we see his hybrid face coming out before he continues to walk down the road.

Everyone couldn't help but shiver slightly as Tyler's face turned into his hybrid face.

And the fact that he looked really angry didn't help.

"Why do I think this is going to end badly?" Jom asked, worried about the former bodyguard.

"Lets just hope things get better" Tem told his friend, worried about the former bodyguard himself.

It's weird since they didn't really know him but from what they've gathered so far he seems like a chill person.

And now with him being kidnapped by this stranger it's clearly worrying them about what could happen.

The scene changes to the bayou and the camera pans to Tyler who was walking towards a small shack with Holden still over his shoulder.

As they reach the house Tyler bends down and places Holden on the front stoop of the shack.

Holden blows a bit of hair that was stuck to his face and glares at Tyler.

Despite the worry they were feeling, they couldn't help but laugh slightly at what they had seen.

Not only was it amusing to see Big being carried the entire way over his kidnappers shoulders but also seeing his hair sticking to his face.

"I always told that idiot to get a haircut" Ken muttered with a slight laugh.

"Or at the very least use more pins or whatever" Chan added.

Big always refused to cut his hair for some reason no matter how many times he and Ken told him to.

"Fucking finally. Blood was beginning to rush through my head because you wouldn't let me go" Holden scowled.

"Be lucky I didn't bash your head like I did back at the mansion" Tyler rolled his eyes.

Holden huffed before looking around the area and furrows his eyebrows together before looking at his kidnapper.

"What is this place?" Holden asked, confused.

"The armpit of Louisiana" Tyler replied.

He then pulls out a knife.

Just like that the laughter stopped and immediately everyone grew tense.

"I swear to god he better not hurt him" Ken muttered, glaring at the onscreen hybrid.

"Even if he did Big would fight back. Bound or not he always does" Kinn reminded him.

Holden's eyes widened slightly and immediately grew worried.

"What are you gonna do with that?" Holden asked.

"Depends on you" Tyler said.

He walks closer to him before crouching in front of him. Holden breathes out a sigh of relief when Tyler cuts off the zip-ties that were bounding his legs.

Everyone breathed out a sigh of relief, the loudest being Ken himself.

Holden then glared at him, "hey you're the one that attacked Hayley and I, remember? Ambushed us in our own home".

"First of all, I was only after Hayley. Not you. I thought she was alone but it looks like I was wrong. You just had to interfere with my plans and take her place instead" Tyler reminded him.

The ones from the mafia couldn't help but sigh at what they just learned.

Leave it to Big to protect Hayley from any sort of danger and put himself in danger and let himself get kidnapped instead of her.

They understand it's his sister and she's pregnant but he could've done something else to protect her and her baby.

"Wait, I don't get it, why was Tyler even after Hayley in the first place?" Chay asked.

"Just keep watching. It'll be explained very soon" Gertrude softly told the boy.

Chay pouted slightly but nodded as he turned his attention back onto the screen.

"Second of all, that's not your home. It's Klaus's. You and Hayley are shacked up in that mansion with that psycho. Long way from the girl I've met in the Appalachians, helping other werewolves" Tyler said, talking about Hayley in the end.

Holden stared at him for a few seconds before his eyes widened slightly.

"Wait, you're that Tyler? The Tyler Hayley helped to break the sire bond?" Holden asked.

"Why am I not even surprised that he knows him already" Kim shook his head.

"The question is, how?" Kinn asked.

Almost everyone looked at the witch that was in the room with them.

Gertrude rolled her eyes before answering.

"Holden had a secret phone during the time he spent working with your family. He wanted to keep in contact with his sister and they would always spend time talking on the phone, always checking in on each other and updating each other on what's been going on in their lives" Gertrude explained.

No surprise, the members of the main family were shocked to hear that.

Hell, Chan himself was shocked.

He was there when Big became a bodyguard and he was there when Big handed in his phone since the rules were clear that no bodyguard was to have phones with them unless they were on a mission.

They probably should've done a double check.

Kinn, on the other hand, felt angry at Big for disobeying orders and he also felt angry at the fact that he kept more secrets from him.

Big was one of his loyal bodyguards yet, here he is, learning more about his life along with his lies.

"Good, you know me. My question is, how do you know Hayley?" Tyler asked with a raised eyebrow.

Holden sighed before replying, "she's my sister".

Tyler's eyes widened at that, clearly not expecting that.

"She never told me she had a brother" Tyler said.

"Yeah, well, before we separated we made a promise to never tell strangers about each other. If we ever made any enemies we didn't want them coming after one of us, for safety reasons" Holden explained.

"Smart" Tyler hummed.

They'd never admit this out loud but they did agree with him.

Hayley and Big's decision to keep each other a secret from others was indeed smart.

"Look, I don't know how close you and my sister were but alot has happened since the last time she saw you" Holden said.

"You mean that Hayley's pregnant?" Tyler sarcastically asked.

Holden didn't expect that since he thought he didn't know about his sister being pregnant.

"A hybrid baby, yeah, I know all about it. I've been roaming around the Bayou, asking questions. Now, let me tell you what I've learned" Tyler said.

He stalks towards Holden and makes him stand up. He then pulls down his sweater to reveal the birthmark on his shoulder.

"This crescent birthmark means you and Hayley come from a big-shot family. Some kind of royalty for the werewolves of this region" Tyler told him.

Holden's eyes widened at that. 

He didn't know anything about his or Hayley's family and all their lives they've been wanting to know who they were or what happened to them.

He didn't expect that their birthmarks represented their family or that their families were big shot people. Let alone royalty.

Everyone's eyes widened at that and some of their jaws dropped at what they just learned.

"Hold up, is everything that he said true?" Porsche asked, looking at the witch.

"Big and Hayley's family are royalty?" Pete asked.

Gertrude sighed, she didn't want to tell them but she knew they weren't going to let this go unless they got answers.

And, honestly, she wanted to tell them just to see their reactions.

"Yes, Holden and Hayley's birth family are royalty. They're called the Labonair family, a royal bloodline of werewolves that has been referred to as having existed since the beginning of the werewolf species. The birthmarks that the twins have on their right shoulder are of those that share in its bloodline" Gertrude explained.

Silence.

Silence filled the theater room.

Everyone tried to process everything that they just learned.

The main and minor family were shocked that Big, a former bodyguard, came from a royal family.

They honestly weren't sure if that was just as shocking as when they learned that he was a werewolf.

Gertrude covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from laughing due to everyone's reactions.

She could only imagine their reaction when the Kenner brothers make their appearance and learn about their connection to the siblings.

Tyler then gestures around to where they are at, "and right here this is all that's left of them".

Holden began looking around the place, letting his eyes take in everything that was present, before stopping at a blonde woman that was nearby.

He studied her for a bit before his eyes wandered down to her shoulder and quietly gasped when he saw a birthmark. The one like his and Hayley's.

"Hey!" Holden yelled.

The woman is startled and didn't hesitate to run away.

"Bitch!" Ken yelled, glaring at the woman onscreen.

"Ken" Chan yelled, shooting him a warning glare.

"What?! She sees that Big is bound and clearly in trouble but she runs off like a coward" Ken defended.

If he was there he wouldn't hesitate shooting Tyler, hybrid or not, so he could help Big and get him out of there.

Chan opened his mouth to say something when Kinn beat him to it.

"You have to remember that Big can take care of himself. Bound or not he will find a way to fight back against Tyler and he will escape. Just give it time" Kinn sternly said.

Ken bit his lip, stopping himself from retorting back to his boss, and simply turned his attention back to the screen.

Chan sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder and rubbed it in order to calm him down.

"Help me!" Holden yelled after her, bringing his bound hands up.

Tyler laughed and shook his head at the Marshall male.

"They can't help you. They're in the woods, hiding, because they were persecuted for decades by vampires" Tyler told him.

Holden stared at him for a few seconds before footsteps were heard.

Holden turned around and sees a man walking towards them.

"Now who the hell is that?" Porsche asked.

"He's just a werewolf and his name is Dwayne" Gertrude told him.

"Who's that? I thought you said you were bringing a pregnant werewolf girl" Dwayne asked.

"Change of plans, Dwayne. Just get him inside" Tyler told him with a sigh.

Dwayne just nodded before grabbing Holden's arm while Tyler walked off.

"Tyler! Tyler, get back here!" Holden yelled, a hint of fear being shown in his tone.

Tyler ignored him and Dwayne dragged him inside of the shack.

"Now that's surprising" Kim muttered.

Big was never scared of anything or anyone. All of them knew that.

He was someone that never showed fear, someone that told everyone to never show fear because others will see it as a sign of weakness.

Hell, he trained some of the other bodyguards how to not show fear for whenever they were on missions.

Seeing him look and sound afraid just didn't sit well with Kim.

The scene changes to the inside of the shack and we see Holden sitting on the ground, zip-tied to a fire stove.

He's struggling to break free from the zip-tie when the door opens causing him to look up. Tyler walks into the shack with a blank look on his face as he closes the door behind him.

Holden hesitated before asking, "Tyler, there's been two wolves watching Hayley and I lately. Protecting us, like it instinctively knows that we're part of its pack. You're a hybrid, you can turn into a wolf whenever you want. Was one of the wolves you?".

Everyone leaned forward in interest.

They doubt that Tyler is one of those wolves, given he had the intention of kidnapping Hayley and not protecting her, but they wanted to see what he'd say.

As they too were curious about those two wolves watching over the siblings.

Tyler looks confused at that before shaking his head.

"No, but you're right. Only hybrids can control when they change. And I'm the only one left, besides Klaus" Tyler said.

"Whatever you think you're doing, you know that whole Original family has made some sort of pact, or something, to keep Hayley, her baby and I safe. So, if you hurt me, they'll kill you" Holden told him.

"He's right. If he lays a finger on him, he's as good as dead" Macau nodded.

Tankhun, on the other hand, seemed a little disappointed.

Now, don't get him wrong, he wants no harm to come to Big whatsoever.

But he says that because he wants to see the type of reaction that Klaus would have if he were to find Big injured.

He'd love to see how protective Klaus would be over the former bodyguard.

"What makes you think I'm afraid to die?" Tyler asked with a raised eyebrow.

Holden said nothing and the door of the shack opens and they both look to see Dwayne walking in.

"So, what now? I can't become a hybrid now since you brought the girl's brother instead of her" Dwayne asked.

"Well, since this idiot interfered with my plans we're going to use him as leverage against not only Hayley but Klaus. Trust me, they're gonna be here soon for him and when that happens we'll be ready" Tyler told him.

Dwayne sighed in annoyance but nodded his head.

"Ok, what the hell is the deal with you and my sister? I thought you guys were friends. And what's with your hatred against Klaus?" Holden asked.

"Well, to be fair, Klaus is just Klaus" Pol shrugged.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure that guy has tons of enemies that want him dead" Arm nodded.

"But I find it strange that Tyler wanted to kidnap Hayley. Just like Big said, aren't they friends" Ken frowned.

Some people began thinking of the possibilities of why Tyler is so angry at Hayley.

Maybe she did something in the past, when they were friends, and he still holds a grudge.

"We were friends. Until she betrayed me and let all my hybrid friends be killed. And Klaus destroyed everything good in my life. So, once he and Hayley get here, I'm gonna take away the thing he wants the most" Tyler told him.

"What the hell are you even planning? Why did you want my sister instead of me anyways?" Holden asked in anger.

Tyler pressed his lips together, unsure if he should tell him his plans or not.

He glanced at Dwayne and the werewolf nodded to which Tyler nodded back.

"Fine. I'll tell you what my plan was and why Hayley was my target" Tyler said.

Everyone immediately leaned forward, wanting to know as much as possible.

They had to know the reason behind this entire kidnapping and what Tyler was going to do if he had succeeded in kidnapping Hayley.

"I've been running with wolf packs all over the country. One of them was tight with a witch. She had nightmare visions about Hayley's baby and how Klaus could use its blood to make an army of hybrid slaves" Tyler explained.

Holden's eyes widened at that, clearly not expecting that.

He didn't know that his niece's blood could turn werewolves into hybrids. He thought that her blood would just heal his sister whenever she was injured, guess he was wrong.

"WHAT?!" everyone shouted in surprise and disbelief.

Everyone turned to Gertrude for clarification and she nodded her head.

"It's true. The blood of Hayley's baby can be used to turn other werewolves into hybrids. So, if one ever wanted to become one they wouldn't have to go to Klaus. They could simply use the baby's blood" Gertrude explained.

Everyone was silent in shock, not believing what they were hearing.

They couldn't believe that the blood of Hayley's baby could create hybrids.

They knew the baby's blood was powerful, they saw it cure Hayley's injuries, but they didn't know it was that powerful.

But then his shock was overtaken by anger and he let out a groan.

"I am sick of these witches and their premonitions about my sister's baby. It's just a baby!" Holden yelled.

"Maybe. Maybe not" Tyler shrugged.

He then gestured for Dwayne to come closer and he did.

"That's where Dwayne comes in. You see, he was happy to be a test case. If you haven't noticed, these people don't have much to live for. They'd all welcome the chance to become the superior species. Trouble is, all hybrids are sired to Klaus. They follow his every move" Tyler explained.

He then grabs a knife from his bag and sets it down on the table.

"No way I would let that happen" Tyler shook his head.

"Wait, if werewolves are turned into hybrids by Klaus then they're sired to him?" Vegas asked with a tilt of his head.

"What does being sired even mean?" Pol asked, confused.

"To answer your question, Vegas, yes. And to answer your question, Pol, being sired means they have to follow the move of the one they are sired too. Take Tyler as an example. He was the first hybrid Klaus turned and because of that he was sired to him for quite a while. Before breaking the sire bond, he had to do everything for Klaus" Gertrude explained.

Everyone pressed their lips together at that before looking at each other.

They were learning more and more about the supernatural.

Especially when it came to not only werewolves, vampires and witches but hybrids and the baby Hayley is carrying.

To say they were intrigued yet scared would be an understatement.

Holden swallowed thickly as he glanced between Tyler and Dwayne.

"How can you be so sure Klaus knows what the baby's blood will do?" Holden asked.

"What do you think? Klaus Mikaelson, killer of men, women and puppies, all of a sudden wants to be a daddy? Or, he's got an ulterior motive. Hybrids can walk in the sun. Their bite is lethal to vampires. They'll take over New Orleans by the end of the week. And you know what's going to stop Klaus then? Nothing" Tyler explained.

"Well, I mean..." Macau trailed off.

"He does have a point" Vegas said.

"Yeah. Think about it, Klaus didn't want to be a father. He said it himself. Then all of a sudden he has a change of heart and now wants to be one. I think the only reason he wants that baby is so he can use its blood to make more hybrids. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason he's suddenly alright with this news" Ken added.

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but take their words to heart.

They had to admit that they were right, all three of them, since this is Klaus they're talking about.

Tyler did have a point about Klaus being nothing but a killer and killing everyone that gets in his way.

Not to mention he seems to only care about power.

Tankhun, on the other hand, didn't agree with the others.

He believed that Klaus didn't know about what the blood of his child could do. He knows that Klaus isn't the best person out there, but there are far worse people out in the world.

And while Klaus may not have liked the idea about being a father in the beginning, Tankhun can see that he does care about his unborn baby.

Out of frustration, Tyler flipped the table causing it to break.

"But because you decided to intervene, my plan is ruined. Meaning I can't test my theory, not unless Hayley is here" Tyler scowled.

Holden scowled back, glaring at him, before using his free hand to flip off the hybrid.

Everyone couldn't help but either snort or laugh at Big's actions.

Porsche had to admit that if he was in Big's position he would've done the same since that Tyler dude is annoying.

Tyler rolled his eyes before turning to Dwayne.

"Stay here, make sure he doesn't escape, while I'm gone" he ordered.

Dwayne nodded and with that Tyler was gone.

"Hopefully Klaus finds him and kills him" Ken muttered.

He didn't like Klaus, probably never will, but he just wants him to appear so he can get rid of Tyler and help his best friend.

Holden turned to Dwayne before speaking, "why the hell are you doing this? I get you want to be a hybrid, be powerful, but you don't have to help him".

Dwayne turned to look at him. He stared at him for a few seconds before crossing his arms over his chest.

"I'm only helping him so I can get what I want. I want to be able to be more powerful and get rid of those vampires that drove us out" Dwayne told him.

Holden opened his mouth to say something but Dwayne left the shack, wanting to get some fresh air.

Holden sighed and threw his head back in annoyance. When he picked his head up he began looking around the shack, trying to find something that he can use to defend himself or help him break free from the zip-tie.

"Can't he use his gun or something?" Jom asked in confusion.

"One of his hands is bound. And something tells me he doesn't have his gun with him" Tem reminded him.

His eyes wandered to the ground and he saw the knife Tyler had taken out of his bag on the ground. He then tried reaching it but it was too far. 

He groaned in frustration before looking around trying to find something else. He then spots a broken chair leg and tries grabbing that.

Fortunately, that one isn't too far from his reach and he manages to grab it.

Everyone sighs in relief at that.

They weren't too sure what Big was going to do with a broken chair leg but at least he had some sort of weapon with him.

A bit of time has passed and the camera pans back inside the shack where we see Holden still sitting on the ground, looking bored and tired.

He sits up straighter when the door opens and Tyler walks back inside, holding some sort of needle in his hand.

"Where the hell were you?" Holden asked.

"What? Did you miss me?" Tyler sarcastically asked.

"Not a chance" Porsche scoffed.

"Not a chance" Holden scoffed.

Porsche blinked in surprise at having said the same thing as Big did.

"I went to get this. I'm gonna put you to sleep and leave you here. Once Klaus and Hayley get here and see you in that state, Dwayne and I are going to catch them off guard" Tyler explained.

"To test your theory about the baby's blood and get rid of Klaus yourself" Holden finished.

"Bingo" Tyler grinned tightly.

Holden scoffed, "you're an idiot if you think you can destroy Klaus. He'll kill you".

"He's right. Klaus is the first hybrid, he's powerful" Arm nodded.

"And it's clear he's not going to hold back against him. Especially when he kidnapped Big" Tankhun muttered.

They, along with everyone else, knew that once Klaus got his hands on Tyler he wasn't holding back.

"True. But I don't care. If I die, I'll make sure to take him with me. After all, he deserves it" Tyler scoffed.

He bends down to grab the knife that was on the ground before walking towards Holden, readying the needle that was in his other hand, causing the Marshall male to tense up.

"Look, there has to be another way. I don't know you like Hayley did but I know that you're not like this" Holden said.

Tyler shook his head at him and continued walking towards him, ready to stab the needle into his neck in order to knock him out.

Everyone began tensing up at seeing the hybrid advancing on Big.

They were hoping Big attacked first or, hopefully, Klaus along with Hayley and Elijah make their entrance and save him.

But just before he could do that Holden quickly stabs him in the gut with the broken chair leg he grabbed earlier.

Tyler screams in pain, dropping the knife, and pulls out the stake from his stomach.

"Yes!" everyone yelled in satisfaction, grins appearing on their faces.

"Go, Big!" Ken cheered for his best friend.

Tyler picks his head up and glares at the Marshall male.

"That was stupid!" Tyler yelled in anger.

He starts walking towards Holden again, ready to stab the needle into his neck, when all of a sudden one of the windows breaks and two smoke bombs are tossed into the shack.

"What the..." Tyler trailed off, confused.

The smoke bombs go off causing Tyler to yell in surprise as he quickly bends down and covers himself with his arms.

Everyone jumped back in surprise at the sudden surprise attack.

"What the hell? Who did that?" Macau asked, confused.

He turned to Vegas and Pete for an answer but neither of them said anything.

Nobody answers the boys question because they didn't have an answer as they too were confused and curious as to who could've caused that surprise attack.

Holden, although confused himself, sees this as an advantage and looks around before spotting the knife Tyler had dropped.

He quickly grabs it, considering it was now closer to him, and uses it to break free from the zip-tie. Once he's free he quickly gets up and rushes out of the shack.

Once he's out of the shack he sees Dwayne rushing towards him, trying to subdue him, and doesn't hesitate to tackle him to the ground. The two of them roll around for a bit before Holden straddles Dwayne's waist and slices his neck with the knife.

"Yes!" Ken yelled, a grin appearing on his face.

Kinn and Chan smirked. Now that was the Big they knew.

Dwayne's eyes widened and he started choking. Holden quickly gets up and starts running, not once looking back.

The camera pans a little deeper into the woods and we see Holden running as fast as he can, jumping over a few logs to avoid tripping, before finding a nearby tree and quickly hides behind it.

As he leans against the tree, catching his breath, he hears footsteps approaching to where he is.

"There's no way that's Tyler. He couldn't have caught up to him that fast" Porsche shook his head.

"But he's a hybrid, he's quicker than a normal werewolf" Pete reminded him.

"Lets just hope it's Elijah or Hayley. Maybe they found him" Ken said, tapping his foot worriedly.

"Or Klaus" Tankhun muttered, biting his nails worriedly.

He was really hoping it was Klaus since in the previous episode he was worried when Hayley revealed Holden was taken.

Holden pressed his lips together and his grip on the knife tightens. No matter what, he wasn't going to back down without a fight.

"Atta boy" Chan muttered, a grin appearing on his face.

If there's one thing he knew about Big is that he doesn't give up easily or let anyone else win.

No matter the situation he's in, he's not going to let himself get kidnapped again or hurt.

He'll fight the toughest and hardest that he can to ensure his safety and return home.

Holden braces himself, readies the knife, and turns around to attack as he raises his arm in the air to stab who he believes is Tyler.

A hand wraps itself around his wrist, stopping him, and he tenses and quickly looks up.

However, he visibly relaxes and breathes out a huge sigh of relief at the person in front of.

Klaus Mikaelson.

A cheer was heard and everyone turned to see Tankhun clapping his hands together.

"Yes! I knew it!" Tankhun yelled, a happy grin appearing on his face.

He knew Klaus would find him one way or another. He knew he would get there first before Hayley and Elijah.

Everyone looked at Tankhun weirdly, unsure of why he sounded so happy at seeing the hybrid, before turning their attention back to the screen.

While they were happy that Klaus was there and Holden was safe, they would've preferred if it was Hayley.

Considering that's his sister and she seemed the most worried about his safety than anyone.

Klaus chuckled, not letting go of Holden's wrist, and let a smirk appear on his face.

"Apologies, love, I thought you needed help. I guess I was wrong" Klaus told him.

Holden let out a breathless laugh as Klaus releases his wrist and he drops the knife.

Without thinking, he lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Klaus's neck and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, you don't know how happy I am to see you" Holden breathed out, his lips twitching upwards.

Klaus, clearly taken aback by his actions, extended his arms out and let them hover over the male that was hugging him as he was unsure of what to do.

However, he slowly brought his arms around the Marshall male and held him close and tightly. Closing his eyes while letting out a sigh of relief.

Everyone was really surprised at seeing Big hug Klaus Mikaelson, of all people.

But what surprised them the most was that Klaus hugged him back instead of pushing him away or getting angry at him for touching him in the first place.

Tankhun, on the other hand, was basically bouncing in his seat while a visible grin was plastered on his face.

The two of them remained the way they were, neither wanting to let the other go. Their hug lasts for quite some time before Holden snaps out of it.

His eyes widen when he realizes that he's hugging Klaus Mikaelson and Klaus Mikaelson is hugging him back.

"Good to know he's self aware of what he's doing" Ken muttered.

Why his best friend was hugging the hybrid in the first place was beyond him?

He just hopes that doesn't happen again since he doesn't like or trust the hybrid and wants his best friend to create some distance between them.

Holden cleared his throat and pulled away from the hug. Klaus looked a bit disappointed before shaking his head.

Klaus frowned as he took in the state he was in and placed his hands onto his shoulders, scanning him up and down.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?" Klaus asked, still scanning him for any injuries.

"I'm fine. I was mainly tied up but he didn't lay a hand on me" Holden told him.

"Good for that. Or else I would've tracked him down and taught him a lesson myself" Kim muttered.

He'd never admit this to anyone but he always liked Big.

He always saw Big as another older brother.

Big was always there for him no matter what and was already ready to help him for whatever he needed, the same way he was with Kinn.

If Big is harmed in anyway, he will go after the person at fault and he doesn't care who or what they are.

Klaus looked relieved at that and nodded his head as he pulled his hands away.

"You stay here while I track down Tyler. No doubt he's still around and I won't let him get away. Not again" Klaus sternly said.

He turned around and was going to leave but was stopped when Holden walked around him and stepped in front of him.

"You aren't going anywhere. Not yet. We need to have a talk" Holden sternly said.

Everyone looked at each other and knew that Holden was going to ask Klaus if he knew what the blood of his baby could do.

The majority of them believed that he did know and were just waiting for him to come clean.

While very few that believed that he didn't know were waiting for him to tell Holden just that.

And they were really hoping that Klaus had no idea about what his baby's blood could do.

"Love, can't it wait? I really don't want him to get away" Klaus asked in slight annoyance.

"No, it can't. We need to talk about your baby" Holden said.

Klaus furrowed his eyebrows at that, "what about the baby?" he asked in confusion.

Holden pressed his lips together, hesitating, before deciding to get it over with and just ask him.

"Did you know that the baby's blood can be used to make more hybrids?" Holden bluntly asked.

"Getting straight to the point. Nice" Vegas nodded in approval.

There was no need to sugarcoat anything when he needed to get straight to the point.

Big, along with everyone else that was present in the theater, needed their questions to be answered.

Klaus's eyes widened at that.

"Excuse me?" he asked, genuinely confused and shocked by what he was asked.

"Tyler had the intent of kidnapping Hayley so he could test a theory of his. He said that the blood of the baby could be used to sire hybrids. And he says that you knew" Holden explained.

Klaus says nothing. He's still clearly shocked.

Holden pressed his lips together at his silence.

"Klaus, tell me you didn't know. Please tell me you weren't going to use the blood of my niece just to make more hybrids" Holden said.

Everyone leaned forward, wanting to know what Klaus's answer was.

Majority were waiting for him to fess up while few were internally praying that he didn't know anything.

Klaus's eyes met Holden's and they both stared at each other.

Finally, after a bit of silence, the original hybrid spoke.

"I can assure you, love, that I had no idea that my baby's blood could do that. I swear I didn't" Klaus told him.

The majority of the people that believed Klaus knew were shocked by what they just learned, they thought he was guilty.

While the few that believed he didn't know, breathed out sighs of relief.

Tankhun being the loudest and you already know why.

"You're serious, right?" Holden asked, wanting to be 100% sure.

"Yes, I'm serious. Look, I didn't know it was possible for me to have children since vampires can't procreate. I certainly didn't know that the blood of my baby could make hybrids" Klaus told him.

Holden said nothing and simply stared at him with his lips pressed together.

He studied Klaus's expression, his movements and, more importantly, the way he spoke.

"Good. He's analyzing all the important things about him in order to know whether he's lying or not" Chan hummed.

He didn't expect anything less from Big.

Big was one of the bodyguards that impressed him, along with Kinn and Korn due to his hard work and determination.

And the fact that he was smart and used his knowledge, not just his skills. 

"Please believe him. Please believe him" Tankhun muttered.

Holden let out a sigh before nodding his head.

"Alright. I believe you" Holden said.

"Yes!" Tankhun yelled, a relieved smile on his face.

Everyone looked at him weirdly and questioningly but he just ignored them and put his attention on the screen. 

Klaus looked surprised at that and raised an eyebrow at him.

"You do?" he asked.

"Yes, I do" Holden nodded.

"Why? Anyone would've taken Tyler's side instead of mine. I'm pretty sure your sister wouldn't have believed me" Klaus said.

"True. But, I know when people are telling the truth. And I can tell you are telling the truth when you say you didn't know. I could see it in your eyes and the way you spoke" Holden explained.

"He can do that?" Porsche asked, confused and a little curious.

"Yes. It's called observation. You should try it once in a while" Ken sarcastically told him with a smile.

Porsche shot him an offended look while everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Klaus stared at him for a few seconds before slowly nodding his head.

"Thank you for believing me, love" Klaus softly said.

"You're welcome" Holden softly said, rubbing his arm.

Klaus turned his head away in order to hide a faint smile that was threatening to appear on his face.

Tankhun resisted the urge to cheer.

Those two were beginning to get closer and closer with each other and he was living for it.

Klaus then cleared his throat, getting back to the situation at hand, and turning his head to face the werewolf male.

"Well, how about you head back to the shack while I find Tyler" Klaus suggested.

Holden looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Is that necessary? He's probably run off like a coward by now" Holden asked.

"I doubt that. He was pretty hellbent on finding Klaus and getting his revenge" Kinn frowned.

Vegas scoffed before leaning against his seat.

"Let's just hope he was smart enough to leave. He might be a hybrid himself but he is nowhere near stronger than Klaus" Vegas said.

He then wrapped an arm around Pete's shoulders to which his boyfriend leaned into his side.

"Yes, it is quite necessary. After kidnapping you and planning to use my baby's blood, he needs to know not to mess with me ever again" Klaus sternly said.

Holden opened his mouth to protest but Klaus had already vamp speeded away, going to find Tyler.

Holden huffed as he stuffed his hands into his pockets and began walking.

"Thanks for leaving me here and making me go back to that stupid shack" Holden muttered in annoyance.

Everyone couldn't stop themselves from laughing, Big was indeed funny when he wanted to be.

The scene changes back to the shack and the camera pans to Holden walking towards it.

Just as he was reaching the shack the door opened and Hayley came out with Elijah behind her.

"Hales!" Holden yelled, a smile appearing on his face.

Hayley's head snapped up at hearing the voice of her brother. She looked around and when she met the eyes of her brother nothing but happiness and relief coursed through her body, as well as her eyes.

"Holden!" Hayley yelled.

She began running towards him and Holden did the same. They met in the middle with Hayley wrapping her arms around the neck of her brother, hugging him tightly. Holden wrapped his arms around his sister and buried his head into her shoulder.

Everyone couldn't stop themselves from smiling at the siblings reunion.

They could tell how worried Hayley was and they could tell how relieved she was at seeing her brother with her own eyes, safe and unharmed.

Porsche wrapped his arms around Chay and kissed his temple. Chay smiled at his brother and leaned into his side.

Vegas ruffled Macau's hair before pulling him into a hug. Macau huffed slightly but let a small smile appear as he hugged his brother back.

Tankhun, Kinn and Kim all looked at each other and while they didn't hug they did smile softly at each other.

"Oh, thank god you're alright" Hayley breathed out, tightening her hold around her brother.

"I'm alright, Hales. I'm alright" Holden reassured her.

The siblings squeezed each other tightly before pulling away.

Hayley cupped the sides of her brothers face and began scanning him up and down for any injuries.

Holden chuckled, "don't worry I'm fine. Tyler didn't hurt me".

"Thank god. I would've tracked him down and killed him myself" Hayley said.

"Get in line" Ken scoffed.

If anyone was going to find that Lockwood boy and kill him it was going to be him.

Holden nodded before looking over her shoulder to see Elijah standing a few feet behind her, a small smile on his face.

"Hey, Elijah" Holden greeted him.

"Holden. I'm pleased to see that you're unharmed" Elijah told him.

Holden nodded before turning back to his sister.

"Did you guys just get here?" he asked.

"We arrived a while ago. We thought you were inside the shack after seeing the dead body of that werewolf but the only thing we found was a mess" Hayley told him.

Holden looked at Dwayne's dead body before looking back at his sister and Elijah.

"That's Dwayne. He was here with Tyler. Tyler tried injecting me with a needle to knock me out when smoke bombs entered the house and when they went off I managed to escape. Dwayne tried to subdue me but I sliced his neck before running off" Holden explained.

Hayley and Elijah glance at each other before looking back at the werewolf male.

"Smoke bombs?" Elijah asked, confused.

Holden studied them for a bit before crossing his arms over his chest.

"Judging by your reactions I assume neither of you set those off" Holden said.

Hayley shook her head and Elijah did the same.

"Weird" Holden muttered, confused.

"Weird indeed" Jom nodded in agreement.

"Wait, so if it wasn't Hayley or Elijah who set off the smoke bombs and it sure as hell wasn't Klaus, then who did it?" Tay asked, confused.

Everyone looked at each other, nobody had an answer.

They too were confused and they were curious as to who could've set off those smoke bombs in order for Holden to escape.

Gertrude pressed her lips together tightly before looking away from the others.

She so desperately wanted to tell them who it was, but she knew she couldn't.

Not yet.

"Where is Niklaus?" Elijah asked.

"He went to find Tyler so he could finish him off himself. He doesn't want him getting away without punishment" Holden explained.

"Good" Hayley scoffed.

Holden bit his lip, wondering if he should tell his sister what he learned from Tyler about the baby's blood.

"He should tell her. It's better to hear the news from him rather than someone else" Porsche said.

"Agreed. If she finds out from someone else and learns that her brother knew and didn't tell her, no doubt she'll be angry" Kinn nodded.

However, just before he could make his decision footsteps were heard causing everyone to turn around.

Hayley stepped in front of Holden, ready to protect him, while Elijah sped in front of them both in order to protect them.

However, they all relaxed when they saw that it was Klaus and not Tyler.

Everyone, having tensed up thinking that Tyler returned, sighed in relief at seeing the original hybrid and not the other one.

"Jesus, this guy likes scaring us" Tem breathed out, leaning against his seat.

"You said it" Jom muttered with a nod of his head.

"God, next time warn us will you" Hayley shot him a glare.

"Apologies, little wolf" Klaus sarcastically smiled to which Hayley rolled her eyes.

"Did you find Tyler?" Holden asked, taking a few steps forward towards Klaus.

Klaus nodded as he replied, "I did. And the two of us engaged in a heated fight but, of course, I overpowered him".

"Did you kill him?" Holden asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, love, that is for me to know and for you to find out" Klaus cheekily told him, winking.

Holden blushed slightly before rolling his eyes and looking away.

"Is Big blushing?" Pol asked, turning to his crush along with their friends.

Arm narrowed his eyes at the screen and slowly nodded his head, "yes he is".

"Weird. He never blushed at anyone other than Mr. Kinn" Pete frowned.

Porsche frowned, knowing full well that the former bodyguard had a crush on his boyfriend.

He shook his head as he reminded himself that Big wasn't with them anymore and Kinn was his. And he sure as hell ain't letting anyone else have him.

Ha...if only he along with everyone else knew the truth behind Big's feelings towards Kinn.

"Well, if we're done here can we leave. I'd like to return home and get some rest" Holden told the others.

Klaus nodded, wanting to get him home so he could rest. He deserves it after everything he went through today.

"Uh, actually, I think I'm going to stay here" Hayley told her brother.

"Why?" Holden asked with a raised eyebrow.

"This place feels familiar. It's like I'm drawn to it, like with those two werewolves that have been watching over us" Hayley explained.

Holden's eyes widened slightly as he nodded.

"Right. Tyler said something about this being our home or whatever" Holden told her.

"And you believe him?" Elijah asked.

"Maybe I do. Maybe I don't. But I definitely don't, never will, trust him since he kidnapped me" Holden shrugged.

"It's basically a no" Ken deadpanned.

"Yeah. I wouldn't trust that piece of shit either" Macau nodded.

Pete shot him a glare and smacked him upside the head. Macau hissed slightly before muttering an apology.

Vegas chuckled slightly before pulling his boyfriend closer to him while kissing his head.

"Look, you can head home and rest. I'm gonna stay here and just take a look around and see what I can find" Hayley told her brother.

Holden sighed but nodded, knowing his sister wasn't going to change her mind.

"Just be safe and text me if something happens. I don't want you getting hurt" Holden told her.

Hayley opened her mouth to reply when Elijah beat her to it.

"No worries, Holden. I'll stay here with Hayley and make sure she's safe. You have my word" Elijah told him.

"Why am I not even surprised he'd want to stay with her?" Vegas muttered under his breath, shaking his head.

It was as expected from everyone since they could tell, and see, that those two like each other.

Hell, a stupid person can easily tell something is going on between those two.

Hayley looked at Elijah and let a faint smile appear on her face before turning to her brother and Klaus.

Holden eyed the two of them, as did Klaus, and let his lips twitch upward slightly before slowly nodding his head. He hugged his sister and kissed her forehead before turning around and walking away.

All of a sudden Holden let out a surprise yell and his eyes widened when he found himself on Klaus's back.

Everyone jumped at the unexpected yell from Big.

Then their eyebrows furrowed together when they saw what Klaus was doing.

"Is it just me or is Klaus literally giving Big a piggyback ride?" Pol asked.

"No, we see it too" Arm told him.

To say they were confused and surprised would be an understatement since it's not everyday you see Klaus Mikaelson giving someone a piggyback ride.

"Uh, what the hell are you doing?" Holden asked in confusion.

"Giving you what those kids call it these days, a piggyback ride" Klaus told him.

Holden rolled his eyes and sarcastically replied, "I know that but why are you doing it. Don't you see I have legs and I can walk?".

Klaus chuckled and nodded his head.

"I'm very aware that you have legs, love. But it's going to be a long way back and I know you're not going to walk. So, the fastest way to return home is if I vamp speed us there" Klaus explained.

"Didn't they bring a car or something when they were looking for Big?" Porsche asked.

"Yeah. I doubt they used their vampire speed, especially when Hayley was with them" Pete added.

Holden pressed his lips together, knowing that he can't say anything since he knew that Klaus was right.

He let out a sigh of defeat and, reluctantly, nodded his head.

"Fine, but just hurry. Please. I want nothing more than to crash on my bed and sleep until I'm thirty" Holden told him.

Klaus chuckled and answered, "of course. Just hang on tight and we'll be there before you know it".

Holden nodded and wrapped his arms around his neck.

He let out a sigh before resting his head on his shoulder.

"Don't get mad if I end up falling asleep on your back" Holden muttered.

Klaus looked over at him and let a faint smile appear on his lips.

"I'd never get mad at you, love" he quietly said.

Ken was narrowing his eyes at the interaction between his best friend and the original hybrid.

Not just this specific interaction, the interactions they have had so far ever since they arrived.

Meanwhile, Tankhun was gushing over them as quietly as he could since he didn't want anyone to hear him.

"So cute" Tankhun muttered, a grin plastered on his face.

Holden merely hummed before closing his eyes, making sure his grip around Klaus's neck was enough for him not to fall.

Klaus sighed before turning back around, taking a few deep breaths, and vamp sped out of there.

And with that they were heading back to the mansion.

As the screen turned black, indicating that the episode was done, everyone couldn't help but wonder what would happen next.

They had a feeling that more drama, along with some action, would be happening.
