It's been a year since I've been in New Orleans.

Before moving back to my hometown Mystic Falls in Virginia, I've lived in New Orleans for three years, now on my way back.

There's supposedly some kind of family reunion, or get together- and I'm going to visit some friends of mine.

Visiting New Orleans just to encounter with some people I've known for years isn't the only reason I'm heading back;

I'm staying for the summer.

I'll be staying with the people I've mentioned before, who've invited me.

And the invitation they sent to my house address, is quite luxuriant, inevitable, might I add. It was written in fine print:

"You are invited to the Mikaelson's Reunion,
Where friends and family come together, during the evening of this Saturday at 6:00.
Please dress formally.
Sincerely,
The Mikaelson's.

To top off the fine invite, they finished it off by stamping the outside of the envelope with a black printed 'M'.

Finally arriving at the gathering, I pull up in my car,

About to swing my door open to exit, just before a hand in a black leather glove reached out and opened it before I could.

Still sitting in the driver seat I glance up to see that it's just a man helping me out, gesturing for me to get out as he stands holding open my car door.

I swiftly get out, the man closing the driver side door behind me.

I offer him a 'thank you' then giving a slight smile before walking off into the French Quarter, where the gathering is taking place.

I walk into the main entrance already meeting eyes with familiar faces.

I lock eyes with the devil in disguise himself, as he walks towards me,

"Hello love," his devilish smile appears, while I remain with my impassive, straightening face,

"Klaus."

"You look stunning! So tell me, how's life in Mystic Falls?"

He places his hand on my shoulder, with his smile he's abruptly waiting for my answering,

"Alright, I guess. How's the family? Oh wait no don't tell me- you killed Elijah, still haven't awoken Kol, and let me guess- Rebekah left you again,"

His slight smile disappears, staring into my green eyes as if I just unleashed a dark curse upon him,

I can't help but to crack a smile,

"You've always been so--"

"Hayley,"

I hear a deep, passionate and familiar voice call my name, interrupting my encounter with Klaus,

Then looking over Klaus' shoulder recognizing who it is, I came in contact with someone I'm fond of,

"Elijah,"

He smiles, lightly exhaling the breath I noticed he was holding in,

"You look lovely,"

In return I let out a widened smile,

"Thank you, Elijah. You're not so bad looking yourself tonight,"

We exhange smiles, leaving only Klaus with a serious look spread across his face,

Elijah breaks our greeting,

"Niklaus, you don't seem to be having such a time, everything alright brother?"

Klaus glares at his older brother,

"Everything's bloody great. I'm going to get a drink."

Without giving us a chance of speaking to him again, Klaus walks off into the crowd of formally dressed townspeople; vampires, werewolves, and humans.

After gazing at the crowd I turn over to continue talking with Elijah,

"So let me get this straight, Klaus invited werewolves to this so called reunion, to straighten things out? He really thinks creating some massive get together would solve the conflicts between vampires and werewolves?"

"Maybe. That just depends on if someone's going to get their head bitten off tonight," Elijah informs me,

I give a silent 'Oh' and nod,

I raise an eyebrow, "And if this works?"

"Well that would mean all of the vampires and werewolves here in New Orleans would finally form allies, and the werewolves would be able to enter the French Quarter whenever they please,"

He glances out at the crowd, and continues,

"Considering that when there happens to be an encounter between the two kind, usually it always seems to yet become deadly, dangerous, not to mention the breakout fights and someone literally losing their head from the rippers around here,"

There's always been something mischaracterized standing in between vampires and werewolves and hybrids.

All immortal.

All strengthening, mischievous supernatural beings.

Rippers are vampires that crave for blood uncontrollably. Once they feed on human blood, they can't stop, first starting to feed from the targets neck, and draining

Every.

Ounce.

Of.

Blood.

And eventually from deeply gauging their teeth into the neck- the targets' head literally rips from their body. And that's who Elijah was referring to generally when informing me about Klaus' plan, only for there to be a ripper to attempt a disastrous bloodbath.

Vampires are-- well, vampires.
From literally burning from the sunlight, or to protecting ourselves with a daylight ring, or any jewelry that's upon a spell from a witch to create protection against the sunlight. Another thing: vamp speed. The given ability to literally speed away, almost disappearing from whatever they chose to abandon.

And the rumors and legends aren't true from the garlic to crucifix endangering us, if anything vampires are just a myth to ordinary human beings.

These things we keep to ourselves. Hiding supernaturalism from the rest of the world.

But a way to kill a vampire?

A steak into the heart.

Bursting into flames (from an ordinary fire or from the sunlight, without a daylight ring that is).

Getting your heart ripped from out of your chest.

A bite from a werewolf.

Yes a werewolf bite does kill a vampire. But not within the first seconds of the wound, first there's the dizziness, and you start to hallucinate, and then, you can't control your hunger: your bloodthirst.

And eventually, you die.

Werewolves, not your average hairy four-legged beasts that go around chasing their prey. They actually attain human looks. That's right, human looks- walking around on two legs, the same appearance as vampires roaming around. Not all vampires show as what you see on t.v. dressed like Dracula, with vangs out and visible. And werewolves don't look as you seem to visualize neither, somewhat simular to dogs.
Werewolves also have a super speed like vampires.

And what kills werewolves?

Pretty much everything same to killing a vampire.

Witches, dangerous, but can be extremely helpful when it comes to needing... pretty much anything. ALMOST anything.
And witches are built as humans, but with power. Meaning dying in any way a normal person would just the same.

Original vampires -Klaus, Elijah, Kol, and Rebekah. The strongest, most impassive immortal vampires by far. There's only one weapon that can stop or kill an original-- the white oak steak. From the white oak tree deserted and burned down thousands of years ago, there's only one more piece that came from the tree, hidden in the Mikaelson home, in safe keeping protecting themselves from remaining breathless, forever.

Once it's pierced into the heart of an original, the impaled body slowly shutting down, then catching on fire: they die. Never to awake again.

And there's a dark dagger; once stabbed into the heart, it causes the vampire to go into a sleep, to not wake unless the dagger is taken from out of the heart.

And then there's hybrids. I belong into that category. A vampire... and a werewolf. A mixed breed. A bit stronger than your average vampire, and of course there's the bite. With werewolf blood in a hybrid's system, a given bite to a vampire will kill it just as a full blooded werewolf bite would. And another thing; our blood. A hybrid's blood can heal any vampire injured or slowly dying from a werewolf bite. As for humans too, if a human is injured, a vampire or hybrids' blood can heal them if drunken our blood in enough time before they die.

And then there's that question,
How do you kill a hybrid?

Same way as to kill any vampire.

But without the werewolf bite, considering it doesn't bother us.

And one more person who fits into the category of hybrids--

Klaus.

He's also a hybrid. But stronger than me, and that is because he's also an original vampire like his siblings Elijah, Kol, and Rebekah.

Going back to Klaus' plan, this gathering or reunion he came up with, is filled with vampires, werewolves, and humans-- just for the vampires to suck their teeth into.

And he hopes to bring us together to break the tension between werewolves and vampires.

Which I highly doubt his master plan is going to work.
