Animal Instincts

6 Years Later

A 12-year-old boy with long curly hair could be seen packing a suitcase, he turned his attention to the door as he heard the creaking of the wood below him.

"Do you have everything," Sheila asked with a smile on her face, stepping forward she put a hand on his shoulder looking into his suitcase.

"Grams, do I really have to go?" Elias gave her a sad face.

"Your father is finally done with his business, aren't you the one always complaining about how he only shows up for holidays?" Sheila asked with a smile pulling Elias into a hug rubbing his head she looked down at him as he smiled relaxing in her embrace, Sheila leaned down kissing him on the forehead. "Finish packing before Bonnie gets here."

Later

Elias sighed as he easily carried his suitcase down the stairs, his vampire abilities were starting to develop more. He smiled as he reached the bottom of the stairs he could hear bonnie's voice, the moment she saw him she rushed up to him pulling him into a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you so much," Bonnie said as tears started to fill her eyes.

"I'm only going to be gone for a couple of months, Bonnie," Elias said still hugging her.

"I know, but you're my little brother, I can't remember the last time went a day without seeing you."

"Bonnie go and check on the food," Sheila said from the other room. Bonnie finally released Elias before running towards the kitchen. soon Shiela entered the room and behind her stood Elijah with a small smile on his face. He walked up to Elias pulling him into a hug, "I've missed you, son, let's go before your sister comes back."

Elijah picked up Elias's suitcase heading towards the door, Elias walked up to Sheila as she pulled him into a quick hug, "I'll miss you grams."

"You'll be back before you know it," Grams said as she ran her hand through his hair.

Elias jogged out of the door following his father who soon stopped in front of a Camaro opening the trunk placing the suitcase inside. Elias's eyes widened as he looked at the car "Cool car," He smiled before turning to the front seat. "No Uncle Klaus this time?" Elias asked with a frown, although he didn't understand Klaus's sense of humor the stories he told him were the best.

"No Uncle Klaus this time, He apologizes for not being able to make it though you might see him later on." Elijah stepped into the car with Elias doing the same.

The drive began and before either of them noticed it had been nighttime. Elijah pulled over stopping at a gas station quickly running inside.

When he returned he saw Elias car door open and a blurred figure speeding for the woods. Elijah immediately followed once the figure reached a clearing it feel to the ground.

Elijah could recognize Elias on the ground holding his head, his features expressing his more vampire origins. His screams went on for minutes before he stopped screaming and his appearance returned to normal. Standing up flashing a reassuring smile towards Elijah who breathed a sigh of release.

Elias screamed as he could feel the bones in his body snapping. 'Crack, Crack', He soon fell to his knees as his legs had gone out he looked at his father with a pained expression. " Father what's happening to me." Elijah froze thinking he had seen this once in the past, before memories of Klaus going through the same thing.

It was the day they became Vampires, There entire family besides his mom was given the elixir. They all became faster, stronger it gave them the abilities to slaughter the beasts that plagued there village. Like most vampires, no one in his family could control themselves at the sight of blood each of them killed the first person they sucked blood from. But Niklaus was different He triggered his curse becoming a werewolf or a beast as his father called them, But that's where things were different Elias had only killed one man in his entire life and that was years ago, he shouldn't be transforming.

Elijah snapped from his memories looking at his son he wouldn't make the same mistakes his father had in the past.

"It's alright, Elias I'm here, you're gonna be fine," Elijah spoke doing his best to assure his son that things will be alright.

Elias still screamed as his bones cracked before he was on all fours. He looked up at the moon as the pain stopped for a second he swore the Crescent-shaped moon got brighter.

Elijah watched as his son's glowed red before midnight dark hair started to fill his face. His teeth grew his face became more animalistic as his body started to enlarge. Elijah watched as his son became something that resembled the werewolves that plagued his village.

Elias stood on his two feet as he looked up at the moon before raising his head and howling for the first time. He roared shaking the very trees, shocking Elijah who took a step back, the sound of a predator destroyed any peace that had once filled those woods instead it filled every animal with fear.

Elsewhere in the woods

Peter Hale in his alpha form dashed through the woods relying on his bestial instincts to direct him. He soon stopped in front of a body, well half a body it was his niece, he Killed her but when he did that she was still whole. That was when he heard it the sound made his hair stand tall his very bones shook in fear, without thought he turned tail and ran leaving the woods not looking back.

Elijah stared on as he looked at his son who had literally become a beast one that barely resembled the werewolves he was used to seeing.

Elias turned to Elijah growling preparing to attack before huffing and running into the woods.

Elias' thinking has changed from a systematic human to something more animalistic. It was like all his senses were being blinded by one, a new sense. One that neither a human or a Vampire could ever truly learn to feel, it was a sixth sense one that could influence his very survival. That six sense screamed one thing 'Pack, Pack , Pack,' Elias was overwhelmed by the thought and trying to ignore it only made the pain worse. Like someone was sticking a needle into your arm only that small pain was multiplied by hundreds.

"Roar," Elias roared to the moon as he felt that horrible pain not wanting to experience it again he followed his instincts and Ran.

Running in his new form felt natural it was as if He had found who he truly was all along. He ignored everything in his path until he heard it the sound of footsteps out couldn't be more than two people.

One slipped down a hill his heart was beating fast, the other was frozen in fear. Elias charged for the one down the hill. Making a lot of noise he alerted the boy the look of fear in his eyes only made Elias' red eyes shine brighter as he pushed the boy quickly biting him in the side.

Examining the bite he inwardly nodded before hearing footsteps, the other boy charged at him with a stick wanting to protect his friend.

Elias growled lowly before swiping at the boy, seeing him land he quickly bit him in the arm. Turning his attention to the other boy he shook his head realising he could think rationally now.

He ran away back through the woods doing house best to return to his father. Halfway through he could feel it the calmness of the woods, he soon realised Howe peaceful the woods truly were. Slowing down her didn't even notice with every step he took he was losing the features of a wolf returning to him human self. Elias transformed into a werewolf at the age of 13 and for the most part he looked that age but after the transformation things were different.

In his place stood a 17 year old with the body of an athlete. Not only did the transformation age him it gave him the most optimal body and appearance. Elias kneeled breathing in and out falling to a prone position sleep overtook him.
