TENNESSEE.
𝐴𝐷𝐸𝐿𝐴𝐼𝐷𝐸 𝐺𝐼𝐿𝐵𝐸𝑅𝑇 felt homesick. She had been on the road with Klaus Mikaelson and Stefan Salvatore for a few months now. The summer was nearly over, and she missed her brother and sister dearly, not to mention her friends and her best friend, Damon Salvatore. Klaus had trusted her to be able to text Damon on burner phones throughout her time with him, and he knew that she knew it would be stupid to text him their whereabouts. Klaus would kill Damon within seconds. Of course, he had no idea that Elena was still alive, and Stefan and Adelaide planned on keeping it that way. She mumbled curse words under her breath as she wrapped her leather jacket around herself, following Klaus as the two of them walked up towards the house in Tennessee. Klaus had been on the hunt for wolves during the summer, so he could make more hybrids that would have no choice in being loyal to him. He was planning on making an army of hybrids, just like himself, but wolves were quite tricky to find. The only good thing is that once you find one wolf you tend to find more as most wolves belong to a pack. Obviously there is an exception for some wolves. She held the broken phone in her hand as she saw a young woman step out of the house to call for her pet. Probably a cat as dogs aren't as independent and or trusted to go out on their own without running off.
"Rudy! Come on, it's too hot for me to come looking for you." Adelaide heard the girl say before she turned around, coming face to face with Klaus who had snuck up on her.
"I am so sorry." Klaus attempted an American accent. It was terrible. The definition of horrible. Adelaide and to control herself and try her hardest not to burst out laughing, which was proving to be extremely difficult, so she pretended she need to lace her heeled boots up, bending down to cover her face as Klaus talked to the woman. "I didn't mean to scare you." Sure he didn't.
"Can I help you?" The young girl asked. She looked around Adelaide's age, if not a few years older. Adelaide stood back up and joined Klaus's side, where he wrapped a arm around her waist, despite her telling him to stop doing that weeks ago. He never listened. She felt the same tingling feeling she always did when she was around him, travel down her body, goosebumps appear on her skin. She could tell Klaus knew he had that effect on her, which was guessable by the smirk on his face and the way he lowered his hand slightly so it was practically touching her ass. She didn't move or say anything however as she knew she couldn't act out about his actions at this very moment in time, besides although she told him to stop doing it, she had to admit she liked the feeling.
"Yeah, our, uh, our car ran out of gas a couple of miles back." He lied, the American accent laughable. "We feel like we've been walking forever. Yours is the first house we've come to, so I was just hoping we could use your phone."
"Don't you have a cell phone?" The girl asked, sceptical of them.
"Yeah, battery died." Klaus faked a small chuckle as he pulled the dead phone out of his back pocket.
"What about you?" The girl turned to Adelaide.
"He has anger issues." Adelaide gestured her head in Klaus's direction as she held the smashed up phone. She wasn't technically lying. Klaus did have anger issues and he had been the one to break her phone. It was over something ridiculous as well, but luckily he was rich and if Adelaide got her own way once all this was over she was making him buy her the newest iPhone.
"Well, you were cheating on me." Klaus dug his fingers into her side slightly, sensing the woman in front of them was even more cautious of him. "Look, I promise I'm not a serial killer. I just want to use your phone."
"Sure." The woman finally gave in, sighing.
"So... I can come in?" Klaus asked following her.
"No." She shook her head, "I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you." She was smart to be cautious of him, but not so smart in thinking she wouldn't end up dead. Adelaide felt her body go tense as Klaus let go of her and returned his voice back to his usual sexy British accent.
"I though you country folk were supposed to be more trusting."
"I'm from Florida." The girl sassed.
"Well, that explains it." Klaus used his speed to grab her by the neck. "Now show me a little Southern hospitality... sweet-pea." He compelled the girl, only adding the nickname to tease Adelaide. He knew she got jealous easily when he did that. Adelaide crossed her arms over her chest, biting down on her tongue as she rolled her eyes.
The girl was forced to invite Klaus in and while he went in he told Adelaide to stay outside. And of course, like always, she didn't listen.
"What's going on?" The older woman in the house asked as she turned around and spotted her daughter being held in a tight grip by Klaus.
"Please don't be alarmed." Klaus told the woman who stopped washing the dishes as her eyes went wide. The blonde girl was sobbing now, scared of what was going to happen. "I'm told Ray Sutton lives here." Ray Sutton was the wolf they had been hunting down these past few months.
"He's almost never here." The older woman shook her head. "He's on the road mostly." Like us, Adelaide scoffed in her head.
"But I expect he makes it home... once a month." Klaus walked further into the room, bringing the young blonde girl with him. "That's what I thought." He whispered in his raspy deep voice, as the two girls stayed silent.
"Klaus," Adelaide warned in a softer voice. As far as she knew these girls were innocent.
"Don't worry love," Klaus sent Adelaide a smile before turning back to the older woman, "Where is he now?" Silence. "If I have to make you tell me, it's going to be infinitely more painful for you." Adelaide squeezed her eyes shut as she took a deep breath in before slowly exhaling. She heard the dark haired woman make a run for it, but when she opened the door Stefan was there waiting for her, making her let out a surprised yelp out of fear. Adelaide followed Klaus as she stood at the other kitchen doorway, staring down the corridor. "I love it when they run." Klaus exclaimed cheerfully.
"He's in Tulley." She finally gave in as Klaus neared her, still having a hold on her daughter. Or who Adelaide assumed was her daughter anyway. "It's near the border. A bar called Southern Comfort. It's off Highway 41." The woman sobbed, giving them all the information she knew.
"Thank you, my love." Adelaide hated it when Klaus called others that, but she kept her mouth shut knowing she had no right to be jealous in the first place and she also knew that it was wrong to feel jealous at all, because of who Klaus was and what he had done.
"Now..." Klaus moved the blonde's hair aside as if brushing it. "May my friend come in your home?"
"Yes." The girl sobbed while shaking her head, knowing what was about to come.
Stefan walked into the house before making his way over to the blonde.
"Kill this one quickly." Klaus told him, handing the girl over roughly.
"Klaus, please don't. They told you what they know." Adelaide practically begged the hybrid.
"Make that one suffer." He didn't ignore her but he didn't do as she said either.
"I'm so sorry." She whispered to the two girls as she was steered out of the house by Klaus.
"We'll be in the car." Klaus told Stefan. Once outside, Adelaide heard the girls screams begin as she knew Stefan was feeding off of them and wouldn't be leaving them alive.
"Don't touch me," she swatted Klaus's hand away from her angrily as he tried to take a hold of the top of her arm, not wanting her to try and interfere with Stefan and the two girls he was in the middle of killing. "They were innocent." She snapped, feeling tears blur her eyes.
"We're vampires. It's in our nature to hunt and kill. You need to start understand that Adelaide." He spoke to her as if she was a child making her scoff.
"Well, it wasn't in Stefan's. Not until you forced him to become the very thing he tried so hard not to be." She glared at him before shoving past him, making sure to purposely bump her shoulder into his as she stormed her way back to the car, trying to block the screams out.

There we have it, the first chapter to season three. I am so excited for this season because there will be a lot of Klaus and Adelaide moments, as well as more Damon and Adelaide friendship scenes too. Plus... it's the season where Klaus eventually undaggers his siblings, so they can all then meet Adelaide. I can't express how excited I am to write about Adelaide befriending Kol and Rebekah.
