Character(s): Klaus and whoever. Damon or Elena would be hilarious, but anyone would be awesome.
Rating: TBD
Cautions/Warnings: Probably swearing - others TBD.
Location: Woods near the arrival hut.
Approximate Date: evening after Klaus' arrival.
Status: open

Once he got accustomed to the idea that he was in an unnamed place where, shock and awe, his powers barely worked, Klaus waited until sundown and decided to explore so he knew his surroundings just in case something were to happen. He didn't like getting caught off-guard, and the best way to prevent that was to know his surroundings. He wasn't the type to panic, so he was keeping an even temper right now. Nothing worse than a temper tantrum in the middle of the wilderness.

Idly he wondered if he was the only one here, or if there were others who had been unfortunately nabbed into this abandoned landscape. Judging by how often he got duped, there probably weren't very many people in the same predicament as he. Maybe he was just on a downward slope, though, because first he'd gotten the coffins taken from him, and now this? Hm, he must have been going into a funk...

Traipsing through the woods, he found little things that told him about the island. There was an upside to have grown up in the woods with his family, after all. Touching each leaf as he passed it, he scanned the wooded horizon with a critical eye. He could see each trail leading over the hills and through the gnarled trees that led back toward the beach. He kept stomping through the forest, barely caring how much noise he was making.

Bjorn as some were affectionately calling him after Eric had started was after the vampire when he went after the girl. The big bear was sort of a self appointed protector of all thins small specially from the things that Orophin called dead. They didn't sit well with him so with a quick move he tackled the 'old' vampire to the ground and the elf was after him too, bow drawn arrow pointed at the vampire. He'd called himself bad after, and though he boasted of age it seemed he was still just a child in the elfs prospective.

"Why do they call you a bad man? Are you a servant of Sauron?" He asked there were so many people about right now and he really wished the bear hadn't got them in the middle of this but he'd stand by his friends side in a battle he felt was worth it.

Klaus knew that his history with Elena was anything but flawless, in fact it was downright convoluted, but what he was most curious about was why she was here as well. It seemed like this whole place was a broken seam in the world where other creatures - or creatures from different dimensions maybe? - came together on an island that muted powers and brought everyone down to an equal playing field. It was a fascinating thing, Klaus had to admit. It didn't change the fact that Elena was completely terrified of him, and why shouldn't she be? He'd killed her, after all. Some sorcery had brought her back, obviously, but now they were here.

The irritated tone was old hat to Klaus, and his lips twitched, a . He'd seen the pure fear in her eyes before she'd run away from him, and as he came closer, the sound of her voice washed over him. There were so many facets to the human voice, he thought as he stepped closer to her. He was expecting Damon - the ever-noble savior since Stefan had gone rogue - to come up behind him and try to stop him from coming any closer to his precious doppelganger.

"Small world indeed, darling," he told her, walking closer and navigating the landscape with ease. The soles of his boots gripped the underbrush, giving him a steady stride even as he walked over logs, branches and curved rocks. He cocked his head, the sense of another being still linger in the clearing beside Elena and, indeed, on her skin. "Who was your friend? Anyone I should know?" A glint of cruel mischief danced in his blue-green eyes as his grin turned a bit wolfish.

The expression flattened when he felt the movements of the bear behind him, and it was more the presence than the sound that got him somewhat away from the animal. It caught him off-guard despite everything and knocked him to the ground, knees touching the ground before he rolled and was back on his feet, a step away from the animal and back up on his feet. He leveled his eyes to the arrow pointed at him, and an eyebrow lifted, staring down the weapon evenly. Sure, wood could hurt him - his vampire side, at least - but a simple arrow could not end his life. Many people had tried with much more complicated weapons. "You realize that you can't kill me with that," he told the elf, turning his eyes to the elf again, mildly confused by the name he had dropped. "Sauron? I have no idea who that is, but, no. I serve no one but myself and my family."

Elena could practically feel her skin crawling as Klaus spoke, and her determination to come across as anything but terrified seemed to be slipping in the face of the vampire who had destroyed so much that she had cared about. It was proving very difficult, but she kept her chin tilted up just slightly, head held defiantly high as she glared fiercely at him. Of course he was going to ask about Eric, heaven forbid Klaus miss the chance to hurt or maim.

"He's none of your concern," she said firmly, clenching her hands into fists in her pockets to try and subside the shaking again. "Another vampire, an old one. He'll leave you alone of you do him."

She opened her mouth agin, ready to propose some sort of deal. Once again, she was back to gambling for the lives of her friends. but she never actually made that far. The shock of seeing a polar bear launch itself at Klaus made her jump back a few steps (and that was of course ignoring the big factor of a polar bear on the island at all, let alone a vigilante one) but blurt out all the same.

"He's not from your world, he's from mine. Sauron doesn't exist to us."

'Elena. I'm still here,' Eric said from behind her, quietly. He looked at the man she called Klaus and finally took in his appearance fully. 'You!' His jaw flexed and his fangs came out, though he didn't intend to attack him. 'I thought I had seen the last of you in 1912. I always thought Mikael finished you off. Would've been good riddance,' he growled, uttering a vile curse in Swedish.

'I can't promise to leave him alone, Elena. Please don't make that promise for me.' He glance to Orophin. 'He's right. You can't kill him. Or he'd long since be dead.'

"An old one, hm?" Klaus asked, a small smirk tugging at the corner of his lips before he licked over his bottom lip as if hungry. He could tell that Elena was terrified that he was going to do something to yet another precious vampire of his, and the thought that Elena thought he was specifically out to ruin her little life almost made him laugh. Chaos was indeed fun, but being predictable was also incredibly boring. "We'll see about that."

Turning his attention from Orophin and the puny weapon pointed at him, he looked at Eric and took him in as he hissed at him, regarding him as an old friend, which of course - ironically - he sort of was. He didn't jump back when Eric's fangs came out and he was subsequently cursed out; he truly was not caught off-guard once he realized whom it was he was regarding. Honestly, it wasn't his fault that Eric was so bitter toward him. It hadn't been his choice whose blood ran through his veins. "Eric! Pleasant as always," he told him, intense eyes sparkling despite the mild stab of fleeting loneliness he felt. Shoving it away resolutely, he kept the amused expression on his face. "Mikael has tried many times to 'finish me off' but alas, it has never quite worked."

'Clearly.' The word was clipped, the voice uttering it tight. 'And now you're trying to create more mutts like yourself,' he said, recalling what Elena had told him only minutes ago. Everything clicked into place now.

Eric hadn't missed the other man. So deep was his hatred of werewolves that once he'd learnt that Niklaus was part mongrel he'd walked away from their friendship never once looking back.

'I want you to leave Elena alone,' he said, speaking in Swedish. 'We all try to get along, on this island, try not to hurt each other. Which means feeding from animals, or voluntary donors only, and not hurting others.'

"So word travels fast," Klaus replied, voice curt and dry. The feelings had subsided long ago, but the shock of seeing his once-friend in front of him like this had dredged it up, for a second, before he turned it off like he turned everything else off. It had been sudden, the way their friendship had ended, and honestly Klaus felt some resentment toward the other vampire for the abrupt goodbye and the cold reunion, even though it was a typical relationship in his life. It just made him realize, who gave a flying leap about Eric anyway?

When Eric began speaking in Swedish, Klaus' lips quirked upward. More lecturing - be nice, Klaus, because nothing is what it seems here and everyone has to work together to survive - that made him roll his eyes. All of this goody-goody lecturing was tiring. "And you think just because you desire it, that I'm going to leave her alone? You have long since fallen out of that slot, my friend," he told him in Swedish right back, crossing his arms loosely across his chest.

Eric stalked forward, teeth bared, a menacing glare on his face as he stood toe to toe with his former friend, towering over him. 'I may not be able to kill you. But Niklaus, I know you can still feel pain. And I thoroughly enjoy causing those I dislike to suffer.'

He reverted to English. 'Consider Elena to be under my protection.' He barely knew her, but seeing her utter fear of Klaus triggered the primal instinct to protect her.

Klaus wasn't one to back down from a fight, even from someone like Eric. He used to respect the vampire before his discrimination killed what could have been an intense alliance, but despite the fact that Eric was challenging him, he was not intimidated. "I remember well how much you enjoy causing suffering, Eric. It was one thing we bonded over," he replied coolly, looking up at the vampire and enunciating the word 'bonded' because it implied animal instinct, which Eric so obviously despised.

Height was not everything, after all, and it was not nearly enough to intimidate him. "But remember, I am not easily intimidated, at least not by those fangs of yours. You do not frighten me." His eyes flashed menacingly before the conversation switched tacks.

"Aw, how sweet," Klaus said in a musical, mocking sort of tone as he reverted back to English as well. It amused him, tickled him even, that yet another clueless vampire was taking the doppelganger's side as protector. As if Stefan and Damon weren't enough. "Elena has yet another protector. I would ask if her blood is like a rare wine, but I have tasted it and it is indeed sweet. In fact, I drained her of it."

It wasn't animal instinct that Eric loathed. His hatred of mutts was wholly irrational, he knew, borne of the slaughter of his family. More irrationally, the slaughter had been orchestrated and commanded by a vampire, yet he didn't hate all vampires. But that was the thing with irrational beliefs--they weren't rational.

'I don't care whether or not you're afraid of me. Remember I know many of your weaknesses, friend. As for her blood, I haven't fed off her. Some of us have self-control,' he said icily. He reverted once more to Swedish. 'Tell me Niklaus: will you remain alive if I rip your head off your shoulders? I am as old as you, and as strong. I will agree to a truce, if you wish it, on the condition that you leave my friends alone.'
