The Big Bad Wolf
Chicago, 1923
Amelia and Nicholas walk inside a club in Chicago and she sits on a booth waiting for Nicholas. A man approaches the booth and smiles at Amelia, making her blush. Since her death in 1864, Amelia had never been able to be intimate with a man, despite all the suitors she's had over the years. But the truth is that the beautiful redhead only loved one man in her entire life, George Lockwood, and he wasn't a saint. Amelia found out that he got over her death rather quickly in the arms of a stunning blonde.
"What is a girl as beautiful as you sitting here all alone?" The man asks. Amelia notices his beautiful green eyes, his defined cheekbones and jaw and his perfect placed golden hair. He was the definition of perfection.
Amelia sips on her martini and smirks. "I am actually waiting for my friend. He must be on his way."
The man looks at Amelia in shock. "I did not know you had company. Excuse me." He starts walking away when Amelia calls and he stares at her.
"Sit, please! I hate drinking alone." Amelia smiles and she orders a drink for the man. "I'm Amelia."
The man takes Amelia's hand and kisses her without leaving his eyes off of hers. "What a pleasure it is to meet you. My name is Eric."
This little introduction led to Amelia's epic love story with Eric, the man who knew her secret and loved her, even when he was dying.

Mia decides to go out for a walk, sick of listening to her brothers fighting over Elena and the whole blood sharing situation. Sometimes, her brothers are unbearable and Mia hates all the drama surrounding the love triangle. It's like history repeating itself. She makes her way into the woods and hears a howl. Ever since she was a kid, she hated wolves, maybe because she was nearly attacked by one when she was twelve years old. Suddenly, Mia trips on a wire and comes face to face with a wolf, except that this wolf was bigger than usual and then she realized that the wolf was actually a werewolf and she gets up as quick as possible because a bite from a werewolf is lethal to vampires.
The werewolf starts chasing Mia but stops and sits as if someone had told him to. Mia looks at the wolf and notices him staring at something behind her and she turns around. Behind her is a tall man with a huge grin on his face. "Are you lost, little red?" He asks with a sexy british accent, clearly amused by the whole situation.
Mia steps back from the man and realizes the wolf is gone. "Who are you?" She asks, afraid of the attractive man.
The man steps closer to Mia and takes in her scent. "There's no need to thank me, love." He smirks and continues to step closer, while Mia steps back until she reaches a tree and is unable to escape the situation.
"What are you?" Mias asks, scared of the man.
The man looks at Mia, mesmerized by her beauty, and his eyes turn yellow, making Mia even more scared. "My name is Klaus, I'm the original hybrid." He says, proud of himself.
Mia looks stunned. "You turned Tyler." She grins and stops being afraid of Klaus. "I've heard of you and I gotta say that I'm impressed."
Klaus pushes Mia's long red hair away from her face and smiles. "And who are you, love?"
Mia is paralyzed and her heart starts racing. "I-I'm Mia..." She breathes heavily and Klaus holds her hand, leaning against the tree. "Salvatore." She finishes her sentence, feeling Klaus' warm hand against her cold skin.
"You're Stefan's sister!" Klaus' voice is filled by shock. "He told me you were dead."
"Long story. I have to go now, Damon must be worried." Mia says before disappearing, leaving Klaus sitting on a branch thinking about the gorgeous redhead. He smiles and then leaves to his own house.

The next morning, Mia wakes up and images from last night start floating around like a movie and she smiles. Klaus made quite an impression on her and Mia wants to know more about the mysterious Original. Suddenly, she hears a noise coming from outside and looks out the window but can't see anything. Mia heads outside and after a few steps she sees her brother Stefan working on a vintage motorcycle. "Good morning, Stefan!"
Stefan looks up and sees Mia with a beaming smile on her face. He can't help but smile as well. "Looks like someone had a good night of sleep." He says while cleaning his hands.
"Let's just say that my night was dangerous and epic." Mia grins and she notices Stefan frowning. "What?" She asks before noticing Damon's presence.
Damon smirks and looks at Stefan. "Hello brother!" He turns to Mia. "Sister!" He notices the motorcycle. "What are you doing?"
Stefan stands up and glares at Damon. "Not that it is any of your concern but I want to help Elena have a good time, so I'm preparing this surprise for her."
Damon's smirk becomes bigger. "Well brother, those who can't do it, teach it." He laughs slightly.
Mia dismisses Damon's comment and smiles at Stefan. "I think that what you're doing for Elena is a beautiful gesture and she's gonna love it."
Stefan smiles and then turns to Damon. "I'm glad someone appreciates my intention on making Elena happy."
Damon puts his arm around Mia's shoulders and smiles. "You're so touchy!" His face turns serious and he looks directly at Stefan. "Look, we have an agreement and I intend to follow through. After killing that annoying vampire hunter I will leave town."
"Why?" Mia asks in utter shock by his decision.
"Elena chose Stefan." Damon says with clear pain on his look.
Stefan sighs. "You don't have to leave, Damon. Elena is a vampire which means the whole agreement doesn't mean anything." He stands in front of his siblings. "She needs to choose all over again and she needs your help in her transition." He sighs again, but this time louder. "The only thing I'm mad about is you sharing blood with my girlfriend." Stefan walks towards the house and Damon smiles.
"I can call this a win." He smirks.
Mia hits the back of his head. "You two are idiots! Stefan is your brother and this whole Elena situation is making you two miserable." She sighs. "Honestly, this thing is turning old. Like 150 years old." She turns around and enters the house, leaving Damon behind.
