Chapter 1: earthquake

As soon as the Salvatore brothers entered the boarding house they knew that something wasn't right as they tried to work out what was changed whether it was something that an old or new enemy had done to their house as a warning or if someone was waiting around the corner to attack them. However instead of seeing a vengeful attacker wanting to slaughter them for something they had done within the last hundred forty five years they had been turned, they saw a young female with a dark brown hair that was styled so that it was slightly messy as she poured herself a glass of Damon's bourbon. She wore a red lace high neck skater with a black belt underneath a vintage styled denim jacket and a pair knee high black boots, she had left her distressed black bag laying on one of the chairs near her.

" look, I don't know who you are or what you want but can you get on with it so we can kill you already?" Damon asked knowing that they didn't need another problem with a humanity free Elena roaming around the streets of Mystic Falls

" is there another option because I'd really like not to die?" She said as she turned around taking a sip from her glass as she looked at them completely unfazed by Damon's threat

" Peyton?... What are you doing here?" Stefan said as he took a step closer to her before giving her a hug to say hello properly as he realised how long it had been since he had last seen her

" and why are you drinking all of my bourbon?" Damon said pouring himself a glass as he tied to work out how his brother knew this strange unfamiliar girl since it seemed like they were close

" because I need it after the day or week I've had, your mutual ex payed me a visit" she said leaning against the couch as she looked between the both of them as they became confused

" you? Why would Katherine pay you a visit especially since I've never met you before?" Damon said wondering why Katherine would go to some random girl when she had helpers everywhere

" she wanted me to help her get some cure, apparently she wanted someone who wouldn't want it for themselves" she said only knowing really vague details about the cure and what was going on

" Peyton is a triggered werewolf hence why she wouldn't want a cure for vampirism" Stefan said explaining to Damon why Katherine would think about pairing up with an old friend of his

" so what she just showed and said get me the cure?" Damon said knowing that Katherine was never that obvious about her plans, she usually did with flare and was underhanded about it all

" no of course not, she gave me this big speech about saving you from yourself and how the cure was a death sentence" she said finishing the last of the bourbon in her glass before putting it away

" which it isn't...wait how did she know about you? You two haven't seen each other in two years" he said realising that Stefan must have met Peyton before he came to Mystic Falls for Elena

" how does Katherine know anything, since we were turned she's been following me and I guess she saw us together" Stefan said shrugging it off as he thought about her comments about Lexi and a Bon Jovi concert

" plus there was that business with the hybrid during the summer, you said she follows him too right?" She said knowing that although they hadn't seen each other in years they had talked

" Klaus? What's he got to do with it? Have you been involved in all the major bad guys in our live?" Damon said wondering how much trouble this one little female would cause them this time

" When I was with Klaus in the summer I worried about Peyton so I called her and told her to steer clear" he said remembering how he had been concerned that Klaus would turn her into a hybrid

" yeah so I figured I would give you a heads up especially since I owned you one" she said grabbing her bag from the chair since she had done the job that she had came there to do

" hey why don't I show you around Mystic Falls and we can catch up since you're here?" He said not wanting to let his friend go just yet, she was like a light among the darkness right now for him

As Peyton and Stefan walked around the town of Mystic Falls while she wore her sunglasses and took pictures of everything she seen so that she could paint them later to distract her from the topic that she knew Stefan would soon bring up. So far he had talked everything he had been going through since he had left her in the small town she had been living just after she had triggered her curse, some of it she already knew like why he had come back to Mystic Falls after saving Elena from drowning.

" so the girl you saved and fell in love with is now a vampire and in love with your brother?" She asked after he had told about everything that had been going although she found it so funny

" don't forget about how she was sired to him before he forced her to switch her humanity off" he said knowing that everything had gotten really messy since he had entered Elena's life

" wow and I thought my life was complicated... Why are you still here?" She said known it must be hard for him to see Damon and Elena flirt and beginning their new relationship since he loved her

" because we still have problems to deal with but you're right, lately I've been thinking about leaving after graduation" he said thinking of all the places he could explore and start over again

" how many graduations is that now?... I'm sorry by the way for coming to your rescue when you went all ripper again" she said turning more serious as she realised she had let him down slightly

" don't worry about, Lexi tried helped me from beyond the grave...although something tells me you had your own issues" he said noticing that there was something different about her from before

" yeah let's just say the hunt for my bio parents has defiantly been harder than expected" she said thinking about all the tough situation she had been in while looking for the family that gave her up

" and you haven't found any leads on where they are or who they are?" He said knowing that she had never had an easy life growing up in the foster system while being a werewolf in secret

" no and if you want me

to open about my journey to find my lost parents then I'm going to need a drink" she said heading towards the Mystic Grill where she sat on a stool at the bar with Stefan next to her

" hey can I have to two glasses of bourbon please and leave the bottle?" Stefan said compelling the bartender since Peyton was still technically underage with only being 20 years old

" thank you...basically I have nothing to go on, no names or bloodline or hints ...so I'm just going to pack to pack looking for info" she said taking a large sip from her glass trying to hide the pain she felt over it

" we have or had a werewolf here from the Lockwood bloodline, maybe he would know something" he said knowing that Tyler had spent time in Atlantic with a pack of werewolves

" or maybe I can help in things concerning werewolves and bloodlines since I'm a lot older than you Stefan" a British sounding voice said from behind them as Stefan turned around while Peyton focused on what remained of her drink

" I think the last thing we need is more Klaus in our lives" he said knowing that he didn't want Peyton to get mixed with Klaus since he knew from experience that nothing good came from it

" well that's not fair mate, you haven't even introduced me yet to this lovely lady" he said as Stefan stood up to protect Peyton from the evil hybrid while Peyton paid them no attention as she looked forward

" who needs an introduction? Everyone knows about Klaus the original vampire and hybrid" she said refilling her drink as she turned around to face them as she saw Klaus flashing her a smirk

" ahh but it's you I don't know" he said realising that there was something about this girl that intrigued him in a way that no other had every done in all of his life as he wanted to know more

" Peyton Matthews" she said running her hand through her long brown waves as Stefan watched his best friend interact with the deadly Niklaus Mikaelson like it was nothing to be scared of

" Peyton... What a unusual but lovely name for a equally lovely person" he aid causing both Stefan and Peyton to exchange a look since they were both confused and unnerved by klaus being nice

" are you trying to flirt with me?... Stefan, there's Katherine lookalike over there with blood on her" she said before noticing Elena coming out of the bathroom slightly covered in someone's blood

" great, are you going to be ok here if I go and deal with her?" He asked feeling really bad for leaving her alone to deal with an weirdly nice Klaus while he dealt with his emotional void ex

" I think I can handle him, go make sure she hasn't killed anyone" she said giving his arm a gentle squeeze for reassurance before turning around to focus on her drink rather than the evil blonde

" something tells me you are one tough little wolf" he said sitting down on Stefan's now vacant chair as he poured himself a glass of bourbon from the bottle next to her as she turned towards him

" why? because I'm not scared of you?" She said almost scoffing at the thought of him scaring her off as she really looked at him trying to work out what would make her do that

" why aren't you? Your friends have always feared and hated me" he said thinking that maybe that was because he always wanted one of them dead every other weeks for some reason

" because you may be a awful person but you weren't born that way, you were made that" she said sadly as she looked away from her glass in his piercing blue eyes that drew her in closer

" what do you mean, love?" He said trying not to let it show how much she made him nervous especially since it seemed like she could see through the many covers he put up from people

" the things that happened to you like your dad hunting you for centuries and being betrayed so many times made you this person" she said not being scared of telling him what she thought

" did it love? And what person would that be?" He said wanting to know exactly what she saw when she looked at him because it seemed to be more than anyone else had seen in years

" this person who needs to be feared and hated because it distracts people from realising that you're lonely and just want to be loved" she said realising that she has said too much without meaning to

" you just might be the bravest and fiercest little wolf I've met" he said moving closer to her closing in the space between them so they were inches away from each other's lips and faces

" I should go...goodbye Niklaus" she said realising that she was about make a mistake as she quickly drained her glass and grabbed her bag as she turned towards the door before coming back

" I thought you were leaving" he said giving her the smirk that made her want to kiss him so badly as she walked back towards not being surprised by the fact he knew that she was near

" I left my camera behind...urgghh screw it" she said as she placed her camera on the counter as she gently leaned into him as she captured his lips with hers as he automatically kissed her back matching her passion and desire

Soon Peyton found herself in the Mikaelson mansion as her and Klaus struggled to get through the door while they kept kissing and began to take their clothes off starting with her denim jacket then his leather jacket followed by his Henley long sleeved top. Peyton then wrapped her legs around his waist as he let his hand slightly travel up her leg before he used his vamp speed to take them to his bedroom so he could finally strip the red lace dress off of Peyton to expose the black lace strapless bra and black lace panties she was wearing underneath it. He laid her on the bed as he gently took off her boots before kissing his way up to her mouth by starting with her stomach before moving up to her chest until she had enough of being patient and captured his lips with hers again. Afterwards Peyton gently rested her head on top of Klaus's chest as he played with her hair before they were disturbed by the sound of her phone signalling a text

" crap..." She said scrambling out of bed almost reluctantly as she grabbed her underwear and began to put it on while Klaus sat himself up so that he was resting against the headboard

" running away little red" he said trying out a new nickname on her as he wished that she would forget whatever had just happened and stay in bed with him for a little bit longer

" I'm not running away, I just forgot about my best friend back in the grill...wait little red?" She said clasping her bar with his help as he swept her hair to one side and began to kiss her neck

" seems fitting just as much as little wolf does... That mark, I've seen it before" he said almost absentminded as he gently stroked the crescent moon shaped mark on her right shoulder

" it's a just birthmark that looks like a moon, I know it's weird but what can you do?" She said brushing it off as just being him discovering something new about her and her body

"In my considerable lifetime I've only ever seen that mark on a handful of others all from the same bloodline" he said remembering the conversion she had with Stefan earlier about this

" what bloodline?" She said pulling her dress over her head as she sat back on the bed almost holding her breath since she knew this couldn't be a coincidence of her having the same mark

" a werewolf clan who once thrived on much of what we now call Louisiana" he said running his fingers up her arm as he realised how much this knowledge meant to her

" please don't be lying to me, not about this" she said knowing that she wouldn't be able to take another dead end or false trail that could lead her to the family she never got to know

" I wouldn't dare little red, matters of family of sacred" he said hoping that the use of newly acquired nickname would help convince her that he was telling end the truth about this

" tell me everything you know" she said moving closer to him as she realised that she was getting more than she bargained for with him as she looked into his blue eyes

Later that night once Peyton returned to the Salvatore boarding house she quickly headed for Stefan's room to take a shower happy that no one was home yet leaving her alone with her thoughts of what had happened between her and Klaus as well as what he had told her about the pack of werewolves from New Orleans that could be her family. When she was finished with her shower she got changed into a pale pink knitted sweater, a white tank top, a pair of blue jeans, a light brown suede biker jacket,a pair of beige buckled boots and the silver crescent moon necklace she always wore. She threw her half dried wavy hair into a messy bun to keep out of her way through what seemed to be a long drive, she wore light makeup consisting of eyeliner defining her light brown eyes and light pink lipstick. As she was gathering her things and putting them away in her white and orange weekender bag that Stefan had brought to his room before they left for the two he entered the room

" you're leaving? I thought you were going to stay a couple of days hence why I unpacked for you" Stefan said leaning against the doorframe of his bedroom watching her actions still

" I was but that was before... Somethings happened, one good and one not so good so which first?" She said knowing that he had to find either way from her rather than from Klaus

" ok...ummm the good one first" he said sensing that was the one that she wanted to tell him more than the not so good which he was apprehensive about as he began to wonder about it

" I have a good solid on my family, apparently there was a pack of werewolves in Louisiana with the same birthmark as mine" she said sitting on the bed and abandoning her packing

" seriously? That's great, how did you find out?" He said knowing how much this meant to her since she had been looking for her family since she had found out she was a werewolf

" Klaus actually, he recognised my birthmark and told me everything he knew about them" she said trying to keep her voice even as she tried to give anything away about what happened

" did he tell you this at the grill after I left to check on Elena?" He asked since he knew that he hadn't said anything while he had been there and she had kept her jacket on the whole time

" no he ummm told me this back at his place" she said in a small voice trailing off the end slightly since she could predict what his reaction what was going to be like before it happened

" his place? Why you were at his place, Peyton?" He said moving away from his doorframe so he could move closer to her as he realised that they were getting to the not so good news

" because I accidentally slept with him..." She said knowing that it had been anything but an accident on her part or at least it was an accident that she was almost happy about

" how do you accidentally sleeping with someone?" He asked finding it hard to believe especially when it came to someone like Klaus who tried to charm his way into everything

" I don't know, one minute I was leaving then the next I had my legs wrapped his waist and he was shirtless" she said showing that brutal honest again as she wished she had a filter to use

" but why Klaus?... Is that why you're leaving?" He said beginning to wonder if Klaus had something to hurt her feelings or had scared her into leaving before she was planning to

" no I'm leaving to follow up on this lead and because I know better than to get involved with public enemy no.1 in my bestie' life" she said knowing that she wouldn't do that to Stefan

" promise you'll call or Skype or smoke message me all the time and never call Klaus" he said making her laugh as she realised that she never actually got Klaus's number from him

" I promise and I couldn't even if I wanted to, we never got around to the exchanging number thing" she said noticing how relieved Stefan seemed to be in that moment at her words

" good, I hope you find your family" he said as she gave him one last hug and grabbed her bag as she headed out so where her green little bug was parked as she got in to drive to New Orleans
