"You look like you just got hit by a bus." I say to the man, attractive man, that walks into my emergency room.

"If that bus is a vampire, then yeah." He jokes.

"Wait, are you serious? Like a literal vampire?" I ask, clearly intrigued.

I myself, am a vampire. I cure my patients with my blood when they have nothing else to treat them with.

"I'm sure you know that was a joke." He says unsurely.

I examine his wounds on his head, and the side of his face.

"Were you attacked by a vampire?" I compel him.

"Yes."

"Woah, you're a vampire?" He seethes.

"Yes, and I'm here to help, not hurt." I reply hastily, whisking him into a private room and sticking some of my blood in a cup for him to drink.

It instantly heals him, and then I begin to question him.

"Who did this?" I ask.

"You've just met me, don't even know my name, and are already questioning me about the obvious?" He smirks.

"Fine, sorry. I'm Y/N." I say, introducing myself.

"I'm Alaric, apparently here to answer any of your unanswered questions." He smiles.

"You're a sarcastic little shit." I reply.

"Sorry, what did you want to know again?" Alaric asks.

"Who attacked you?"

"Uhh- some dude. He's an original vampire, so my vampire friends couldn't exactly help much." Alaric explains.

"Oh."

"Is that too much?" He asks.

"I-I'm an original vampire." I say quietly.

"What's an original vampire doing working in a hospital and saving lives?" He asks, clearly nervous.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." I reassure him.

"I'm saving lives, because it makes me feel better about myself."

"Happen to know which original did this?" I ask.

"I have no idea. Think he had like blonde hair, blue eyes. Couldn't really get a clear shot because he was trying to kill me." He says.

"Klaus." I say, gritting my teeth.

"Who are your vampire friends?" I ask cheerily.

"Damon and Stefan Salvatore. Caroline Forbes, Elena Gilbert. There's a lot of them." Alaric replies.

"Can I call one of them? You don't mind, do you?" I ask.

"No not at all." He says, hanging me his phone which is already ringing Damon.

"Is this Damon?" I say into the phone when he picks up.

"Yeah. Who the hell is this?"

"This is Y/N Mikaelson. Sweetie, your friend Alaric is here--" Damon cuts me off.

"Don't touch him, or I'll kill you."

"Jeez, don't be so pissed. I'm not going to hurt the guy. I've already healed him, by the way." I tell Damon.

"Where are you?" He asks rudely.

"Mystic Falls hospital. I work here." I explain.

"I'll be there in five minutes. I swear to god if you hurt him Mikaelson, I will k-"

"Kill me? Yeah, I got it." I say, hanging up the phone and handing it back to Alaric.

"They should be here soon. They think I'm trying to kill you." I laugh.

"You aren't trying to kill me, are you?" He laughs.

"No, No. I wouldn't. I'm not that type of person." I reply.

--

Five minutes later, as expected, Damon flies into the room with Stefan.

Damon grabs my throat and slams me against the wall. With my reflexes, I flip him over and grab his throat, slamming him on the floor.

"H-Holy shit. She's strong." Damon moans.

Stefan tries to rip me off of Damon but I flip him over quickly.

"Stop, guys. She's not going to hurt you." Alaric says.

"Of course she is, her last name is Mikaelson. She's going to hurt us." Damon retorts.

"You're nothing but pure annoying, Salvatore." I say to Damon, making Stefan and Alaric laugh.

"Anyways, I believe my brother Klaus attacked Alaric. Which I'm terribly sorry for, he's kind of a dick." I say apologetically.

"You don't like your own family?" Stefan asks.

"No, not really. Elijah is an exception though, he's not such a dick. Neither is Rebekah, but she can be a bit hasty at times." I explain.

"We need to take down Klaus. He's trying to kill our friend, Elena." Damon says.

"I know, I'm well-aware. Elijah told me everything. He's conspiring against Klaus. I don't want involved. I built a life for myself for a little while, and that's the way it's gonna stay."

"She's a good person. I think you guys should leave her alone." Alaric butts in.

"Yeah, what he said."

"Fine, but if I need your help, don't be surprised if you're the first person I come to." Damon says, flashing out of the room, leaving me with Stefan and Alaric.

"He's a real-"

"Dick." Alaric finishes for me.
