"I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Klaus said, in a ð©ð°ð³ðªð£ð£ðð¦, horrible, american accent. The woman in front of her had a sceptic look on her face.
"Can I help you?" the women asked.
"Yeah, my car ran out of gas a couple miles back. It feels like we've been walking forever." Klaus began.
"And yours is the first house we've ran into, I was hoping we could use your phone." Arielle added.
"Don't you have a phone?" the women asked, slowly backing away from them.
"No, Nate, over here, forget them at home." Arielle quickly jumped in, "He's so unorganized sometimes."
"Oh, I get that." the stranger said to them. The girl couldn't believe the blonde girl missed the glare Klaus was sending the were-witch.
"Yeah, I honestly don't know how I can stand him."
She gave Klaus a pat in the back signalling him to play along, "Don't say that. You still love me either way." he said with a cheeky grin, playing along.
"Mmh, sure!" she joked before turning back to the women, "Can we come in now?"
"Oh, I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you. You're not coming in." the women informed.
"I thought you country folk were supposed to be more trusting." Klaus said dropping the accent.
"I'm from Florida."
Arielle stood furthur from Klaus as she said, "Ohhh, that explains a whole lot."
The woman tried to turn away but Klaus sped infront of her and strangled her, "Now show us a little southern hospitality, ð´ð¸ð¦ð¢ðµ ð±ð¦ð¢." he compelled.
~~~
"I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning." a brunette women said.
"He should've." Arielle said making her presense known. Behind her was Klaus with the, now compelled, blonde women.
The brunette women backed away, "What's going on?" she asked, clearly scared.
"Please don't be alarmed-"
"Since when do you say please?" Arielle cut off.
"Are you seriously doing this now?" Klaus asked annoyed.
The girl gave him a sarcastic smile before turning her attention elsewhere, "What's your name?" she asked the brunette, but the girl stayed frozen in fear, "Fine, let's go with Janice."
Klaus rolled her eyes at the girls games, "Are you done?"
"Please, continue." she said sarcastically.
"I'm told Ray Sutton lives here." he told the two women, who stayed frozen in fear.
"Come on, Janice, tell us." Arielle said sweetly.
'Janice' gulped before speaking, "He's almost never here. He's on the road mostly." she said in fear.
"But I expect he makes it home."Klaus began, before looking at Arielle to finish for him, "Once a month." the were-witch finished.
Janice's face faltered making both the wolves smirk, "That's what I thought."the hybrid said smugly, "Where is he now?" he asked.
The women stayed quiet, "Janice." Arielle tutted, "If you don't tell us, then he's going to torture you, so I suggest telling us." the girl advised.
The girl seemed like she was going to answer but instead she ran away. The two wolves looked at eachother knowing Stefan and Caroline were at the door.
They both went to where the girl was, seeing she was frozen in fear, while Stefan and Caroline stood outside the door, unable to enter.
"I love it when they run." Klaus said as they got closer.
"He's in Tulley." Janice admitted.
"Not enough Janice."Arielle denied.
Janice looked around, she was surrounded, even if she tried, she wouldn't be able to run away, "It's near the border. A bar called Southern Comfort. It's off Highway 41." she informed.
"Thank you, my love." Klaus said. Then he turned to the blonde girl he had in his arm, "Now...may my friends come in your home?"
"Yes." she sobbed.
Caroline and Stefan entered the house while the human girls watched in fear, "Kill that one quickly." he demanded pointing to 'Janice', "Make this one suffer." he pushed the blonde to Stefan and grabbed Arielle's hand, "We'll be in the car."
Arielle spared her sister an apologetic look before being dragged out by the hybrid.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After spending the night at a motel, the four found their way to the bar Ray was supposed to be.
The plan was for Stefan to compel the people in the bar, Caroline and Arielle would find Ray, and Klaus did basically nothing.
"Can I get a mojito!?" Arielle asked, signalling to the bartender.
Over to her side a man arrived and sat down two seats next to her, "What's up Ray?" the bartender greeted.
"Hey, Red. Can I get a beer?"
Arielle nodded to Caroline, who was sitting down across the bar, "Did I hear that right? Are you Ray?" the red-head asked.
"Who wants to know?" he asked back.
"I'm Hayley." she took out her hand, which he grabbed.
"Nice to meet you Hayley, I'm, as you already know, I'm Ray." he let go of her hand, as Arielle kept her soft smile.
"I was hoping you could help." she whispered, before flashing her wolf eyes at him, "I had a falling out with my pack and a friend of mine told me you could help me."
"Yeah, I can help."
"It's him." she yelled at her sister.
"What?" Ray said confused. He looked behind him, only to see Klaus standing infront of him.
"Hello mate."
"Who are you?"
"Doesn't matter, what matters is that I've been looking everywhere for you. We started in Florida, Pensicola. I met a young chap there who worked with you before you moved to Memphis, remember love?" he asked Arielle, which meant he wanted her to finish wrapping up.
"Then, he led us to two young girls, and then, they led us to ðºð°ð¶." she finished, pointing at him.
"You're working with him?" he asked the young wolf.
"Yeah." she said with a frown.
Klaus noticed her pout and quickly jumped in, "Don't pout, you've loved this little roadtrip so far."
"If you need to tell yourself that to sleep at night, then go ahead."
"I think, I'll be going." Ray got up to leave but was cut off by Caroline. He then tried going in the opposite direction but was again cut off, only this time, by Stefan.
"I wouldn't do that." Stefan warned.
The wolf looked around, "Vampires." he spat out.
"Wow, such a profound observation." Arielle remarked sarcastically.
"He deserves an oscar for his fenominal deduction skills." Caroline added.
Caroline had learned that it would either be miserable or play along, some days she played along, some days she was miserable, either way, she still gave Klaus an earfull about how torturing people was wrong.
Everyone let out a laugh at the sisters remarks, "You're swifty, swift, Ray....yes, my two blonde friends are vampires, he compelled everyone in the bar, so don't look to any of them for help." he began. "That lovely lady is a werewitch." he said pointing at Arielle.
Ray turned back to face the woman, who gave him a small wave, "I'm Arielle, by the way, not Hayley." she informed.
"I however..." he began, making Ray look back to him, "I'm something else. A different kind of monster. I've got some vampire, I've got some wolf-"
"A what!?!" Ray cut off.
Arielle could pratically smell the fear coming off him, his expressions, his sweaty face, the fear in his voice, "A hybrid, Ray, he's both." Caroline told him.
"Yes, Caroline, thank you.....you see, I want to create more of me. Now, you being the first werewolf I've come across in many a moon, pun intended, Ray. I need you to direct us to your pack."
"So...where can we find them Ray?" Arielle asked impatiently.
"You can't compel me, it won't work." the wolf said through fear.
Klaus looked at Stefan, signaling to go ahead, the male sighed before looking at the bartender, "I need a scotch on the rocks, please."
Caroline handed him a small pouch and he looked back at Ray, "Tell you what, Ray....We're going to play a little drinking game. Something I like to call, truth or wolfsbane."
As he started to take the wolfsbane out of the pouch, Ray turned back to Klaus in fear, "This is going to be fun, Ray." the hybrid said, with a big smile plastered on his face.
