Filled With Fire

“f*****g Pansies.”

Tempest listened to the group of teenagers below her as she stared at the ceiling of her room. The shifter hybrid should have known that her younger brother would spill his guts on what had happened.

"After Klaus had compelled me to forget him and his sister, Mikael had seen me with them and decided to go for me, thinking that he could get some info to where they were going next."

The Salvatore Sister fell on her bed and ran a hand through her fiery red hair.

Shouldn't Damon be the onE to hate her? She was the one who had outed Katerina for who and what she truly was. And Stefan had obviously moved on with the newest doppelganger.

Maybe Stefan thought Temper had turned his brother against him? Damon had promised to make his eternal life hell for forcing Tempest to complete the transition. If he hated Tempest so much why had he pushed her into immortality? Why didn't he let her die? He would have been rid of her then.

"Just as Mikael was about to grab me and shove certain down my throat to knock me out, Tempest showed up and sunk her teeth right into the bastard's arm."

The Tiger heard the girls gasp and it made her roll her golden eyes, "f*****g pansies." She muttered to herself. The shifter then proceeded to strip off her clothes to shower.

When she came back into her bedroom, Temper found Damon on her bed with a small smile. Her brother shook his head slowly with a slightly confused look, "After everything he's done to you. Everything. You still saved him."

Tempest shrugged with a faint look of defeat on her face and rasped out, "I thought that maybe he forgive me and he could be..." The redhead sighed, "So he wouldn't hate me anymore."

"But why Temper? You're always here to save his ass and you pretend to not care but I know you'd do anything for the both of us. That's not always a good thing."

She sighed again and crawled into her bed, where Damon latched onto her in a tight embrace, just like when they were human.

"I should tell you now, Temper, that since you were last here, uh, " The oldest Salvatore hesitantly mumbled, "I got bitten by the werewolf downstairs."

Tempest stiffened and a dark growl left her throat. She tried to get up, but the vampire held her tight.

"I got better! I got better." He buried his face into her shoulder.

"How?" She muttered, her husky voice deep and threatening.

Her brother sighed, "Stef gave himself to Klaus for a decade to get me the cure. The ass was hunting for some wolves to make hybrids like himself."

The shifter nodded slowly, barely keeping her anger in check and fighting her feral instincts to rip this Original Hybrid's throat out.

"He woke up Rebekah for some locket and I think that was about when she called you, I guess. Then Stef opened his big, fat mouth and gave away the secret that Elena was actually alive after this sacrifice thingie to unlock his werewolf side."

The tiger didn't say anything, but she did roll over to hide her face in Damon's chest.

"Klaus killed Wolfie downstairs, compelled Stef to flip the switch. A whole heap of other s**t went down and apparently, the guy needs Elena's blood to complete the transitions of his hybrids. Then he pissed off for a while, leaving his psycho sister to wreak havoc."

"She's still my friend, Dae." The Tiger murmured, her gravelly voice muffled.

"Yeah yeah, whatever. Finally, we then found out about Mikael. Well, me and Katherine did."

Tempest growled again and moved her arm and hand around to smack him up the back of the head, "Idiot."

She felt Damon nod into the crook of her neck, "We planned to wake up the old man, point him in the direction of Klaus and see him loose, but instead the Papa Original wanted to lure him back to Mystic Falls for a supernatural showdown."

Getting a little distracted, Tempest muttered into his shirt, "Love that show." Then she actually processed his words. "You are all a bunch of idiots, Dae. He'll kill every single one of us."

"See, that's the thing, Temp. Klaus killed Mikael."

A huge breath of relief soothed the building panic that had begun bubble up in her chest.

"Finally, Stef did something stupid and stole all of the coffins. The huge wooden death boxes are holding all of his siblings. But we don't know what's in the fifth one, it's magically shut and Witchy's trying her hardest to crack it open."
