Taylor's POV
It's been a few days since the full moon. There was a funeral for Jenna and John. Both had died that night. Jenna as a sacrifice for Klaus to break his hybrid curse. Apparently there was never a sun and moon curse. He'd made it up so that it'd make it easier to find the moonstone and doppelganger. He had to sacrifice a wolf, a vampire and the doppelganger. So he killed Jules and Jenna, along with Elena. But she came back as John gave his life for her. And now Klaus is a true vampire and werewolf hybrid, he must have been the wolf I'd seen that night. I pray he's left town. Tyler and I had a little memorial for Jules, buried her with her pack.
Anyway, Tyler is out with friends and I decided to help Stefan out with Damon. "Hello sunshine" I say as I look into the cell.
"What are you doing here?" he asks me.
"Baby sitting" I tell him with a shrug. "Here you go" I say placing a phial of blood on the window of the door. Before backing away so that he can't grab me through the bars.
"Why do you care?" he asks me draining the phial.
"I don't" I tell him. "But my nephew did nip you, which is why you are in this cell" I state. "Figured I owed Stefan a couple hours while he talked to Alaric and tries to find a cure. That may or may not exist" I explain.
"What a saint" he drawls and coughs.
"I'm no saint" I tell him. "Besides once Alaric arrives I'm gone" I state. I just lean against the wall as he stares off into space. Must be hallucinating. Damon regains his senses, lifts up his sleeve, and sees the bite has gotten worse. Which is understandable as it has been several days since I last saw it.
"Well, that looks bad" a man states and I turn to see a guy around my age.
"It feels worse" Damon tells him.
"I take it, you're Alaric" I state.
"Ric, and you're Taylor?" he asks.
"Sure am" I tell him.
"My subconscious is haunting me, Ric. Please tell me you have something for that" Damon pleads. Never thought I'd hear him beg or plead for anything. Alaric puts a glass of scotch and Damon's ring on the door window sill.
"Double shot" he states pouring it.
"That's good" Damon states. "So my brother sent you for suicide watch?" he asks.
"He's just trying to help" Alaric tells him.
"He's doing what he always does, trying to right the wrongs of the past" Damon corrects him. He screams and bends forward in pain. "You both should want me dead. I'm the reason Jenna got killed and I killed your kid brother" he states.
"Oh believe me, I want you to suffer for that and I am enjoying seeing you suffer" I tell him.
"I don't blame you for Jenna" Alaric tells him.
"I would" I tell him.
"Oh, sure you do. Let's not forget I turned your wife into a vampire. You must really hate me for that one" Damon reminds him.
"Okay, give me your glass. Neither one of us is drunk enough for this conversation" Alaric tells him. Damon gets closer and grabs Alaric's neck through the door window. He begs for Alaric to kill him. "Screw you" he tells him. He injects vervain into Damon with a dart. Damon falls on to the floor.
"Well I'm out of here, have fun with Damon" I tell Alaric.
"What are you gonna do today?" he asks me.
"No idea" I tell him and leave. I go out the back door and get into my car. I leave the boarding house and decide I need a drink. So I go to the grill, only to see it empty. Guess I'll have to go back to Carol's for a drink, oh well.
My phone rings and I see an unknown number. I frown in confusion and answer it. "Taylor, it's Stefan" he states.
"What can I do for you Stefan?" I ask him.
"I take it you and Tyler are long gone?" he asks. I frown in confusion, he knows we're not. So why would he ask that? I decide to play along.
"Of course, I couldn't let Klaus find us. Who knows what he'd do to us now that he is hybrid" I tell him.
"Good, where are you both going?" he asks me.
"No idea, maybe to visit a few friends of mine" I lie. "How's your brother? I saw Tyler get him that night" I state.
"He's not good, but we're looking for a cure" he states.
"You know the only cure is to kill him" I state. "Look I gotta go, I hope Damon doesn't kill anyone before you come to your senses" I tell him and hang up. Before going to look for Tyler, if Klaus is still in town. Tyler and I need to stick together, no matter what.
(Alaric's apartment) Third Persons POV
"Shame" Klaus says as he holds a jar of his blood. "Those two wolves would have saved your brother. Now we'll have to com up with another deal" he states. "How 'bout a decade-long bender? And I have big plans for you when we leave this town" he suggests.
"I'm not like that anymore" Stefan tells him.
"Well, that's too bad. You would have made a hell of a wing-man" Klaus states. He starts pouring the blood down the sink.
"Wait" Stefan tells him and Klaus smirks. He stops pouring the blood. Placing the jar down beside him.
"Now that's more like it. I want you to join me for a drink" he states sliding Stefan a blood bag. Stefan takes it. Klaus watches while drinking his glass of blood. Stefan takes a sip from the blood bag. "Finish it. All of it. You do everything I say, and I save your brother. That's the deal" he explains. Stefan finishes the blood bag and Klaus gives him a second. "Again" he says and Stefan starts to drink it.
(Back with Taylor) Taylor's POV
I found Tyler and we went back to his house. "You sure we're safe here?" he asks me.
"No, but we can't just skip town again. It'd drive your mother nuts" I state. "We just need to keep a low profile until we know Klaus is gone" I tell him.
"What would he do to us?" he asks me.
"No idea, but he can't be trusted. No original can" I tell him. "Though most keep their word, they always have their own agenda" I state.
"Do you really think there's a cure for werewolf bite?" he asks me.
"No idea, but the originals have been around for a thousand years. If anyone would know, it'd be them" I state. Just then we hear the front door open.
"Tyler, I'm home!" his mother calls and we sigh in relief. "I brought home pizza" she adds.
"Sweet" he says and we head for the foyer.
"Hi Carol" I say as I lean on the banister.
"Oh hi Taylor, I got you a pizza too" she states.
"Awesome, mind if I have a real drink?" I ask her.
"Not at all" she tells me. I go help myself to my brother's old stash. We then all sit down and a enjoy family dinner.
