Authors Note: hey guys, back at it again. Allow me to clear some things up.
1.) Yes he has powers from Teen Wolf. I'm using this to separate him from normal wolves.
2.) Bonnie is an will be the pairing. It will allow me time to get what I want set up before she comes to NOLA. Zach will know about her death and…. Change :)
3.) The plot will remain as is for the first season at minimum. I personally like the original story a lot. Though there are a few things I'll 'fix' or change to better suit my needs for Zach and his pack.
Do hope you enjoy the chapter. Here we go.

Klaus' voice
Over the course of my long life, I've encounter no shortage of those who would presume to speak of good and evil. Such terms mean nothing. People do what Is in their best interest, regardless of who gets hurt.
Is it evil to take what one wants? To satisfy one's hunger even if doing so will cause another suffering?
"What some would call evil I believe to be an appropriate response to a harsh and unfair world." The original hybrid says looking away from before turning to Camille.
"No offense but I'm not sure I follow why you've invited me here." The blonde human says.
"Because I enjoy your company. And I sense you have the capacity for understanding someone of my complexity. You see, I returned to New Orleans to investigate a threat posed against me. What I found was a young woman, pregnant, in need of protection.
My brother, always the do gooder, tried to manipulate me into helping her. He thought it might redeem me. Trouble is, I've since learned of another young woman. A girl really, one with vast potential, held in captivity by a tyrant. I want to help both of these women— protect one and free the other. So tell me, Cami, does that sound evil to you?" The hybrid asks.
"I don't believe in evil as a diagnosis. I think you have unstable personal relationships, stress-related paranoia, chronic anger issues, fear of abandonment. I truly think you could benefit from taking to someone professionally."
"I think I prefer to talk to you, so I'm going to offer you a job. As me stenographer."
"Okay what're we writing?"
"My memoirs of course. Someone should know my story. It will also give us ample time to discuss other riveting subjects like your handsome suitor Marcel."
"Excuse me, my private life is—" Cami begins only for klaus to cut her off. "Your private life is, as it turns out, essential to my plans. You see, Marcel wants you, and because of that, he will trust you, which serves me." He says, pausing for a moment to let it sink in before standing up to speak again, making Cami flinch.
"You see, the French Quarter is on the verge of war. On the one side, there's me, and on the other Marcel. Along with a very powerful witch and an army of vampires."
"What?!" Said blonde bartender was stunned. Klaus moves quickly and begins to compel her.
"You're frightened. Don't be." He says before releasing her.
"I'm not scared anymore. That's amazing. How did you—"
"It's called compulsion. It's a neat bit of vampire trickery. I'll tell you about it, but first, let's talk a little more about Marcel."

Marcel was just told up by Davina. Finally letting her go to the Dauphine Street Music festival.

Camille was angry, "you're going to force me to do this aren't you? Why even bother with politeness?" She asks Klaus.
"Because I like you. I like the way your mind works. Under different circumstances, I think we might be friends. However, I don't have the luxury of passing up tonight's opportunity. You see, in addition to being Marcel's rather potent secret weapon, this girl Davina is holding my brother captive. In other words…." Klaus trailed off.
"This girl needs your help. Call Marcel, tell him you'll be happy to oblige."

Marcel's leading his men through the Quarter. "Send word through the cauldron, any witches come here tonight we kill 'em. And while we're at it no originals, I don't like how Rebekah's been snooping around.
I got my girl cami coming, her and a little friend of hers. I want eyes on them at all times, eyes only, I don't want anyone going near any one of em. Everybody's got a post, everybody keeps an eye out. We cool?"

In the bayou
4 blurs run through the Forrest under the moonlight while the music festival happens in the city. After a moment one of the blurs comes to a stop back at the steel house followed seconds later by 3 others.
Zach
"I think that went well." I say to the pack walking inside. Thankful none of us were wolfed out because i'm rather tired of seeing them naked.
Derek responds, "yea, we just have to find a witch capable of being trusted enough to make the rings." He received nods from Kyle and Katie.
We'd just come back from speaking to another small pack that was trying to come to New Orleans for a better life until they found the conditions werewolves were subjected to. The prospect of being able to control the curse was just icing on the cake. Though we kept how exactly that'd happen to ourselves. I'm just biding my time until Elijah gets out and Klaus takes back the mansion on his own after Rebekah's betrayal and Marcel's ambush.
I grabbed a glass of blood and began sipping. My first steps had been laid. Now it's time to sit and wait.

Rebekah
After compelling the priest I walk towards the attic. Finding it I say audibly. "I knew it!" I say going to walk in but am stopped by a barrier. I see Elijah in the coffin and his eyes open before pulling me into a memory we share.
_
I come back to the real world as I voice my promise to Elijah about protecting Hayley and the child in her womb. "I swear."

Saint Anne's Church
Cami is speaking to Klaus on the bench. Revealing it was her twin who massacred the students in the church. "I hate what happened. I hate that I couldn't help him."
Klaus being the 'helpful' guy he is speaks, "we all must stand alone against our demons."
She reveals she's worried about becoming like him to. As if it's a genetic thing to massacre your entire class then yourself.
Klaus, ever the opportunist, sees his time to intervene in Davina's reunion. Compelling Cami, he begins to move.

The tense atmosphere between Keiren and Marcel is interrupted by Josh. "Diego said he lost eyes on the girls."
Marcel smiles. "To be continued," before moving toward Josh.

Zach
I heard wolves howling. I move on instinct. This is my land. Someone being here is a direct challenge in my book.
I'm out of my house into the property we own in a blur as a wolf. Time to see what's got the crescent pack riled up.
_
In minutes I see the wolf intruding. With a growl I gain his attention. He grolws in return. 'Ah, so not just a passerby. He believes this to be his also. How wrong.' I think to myself before moving faster than any wolf had any right to. With a quick move I scratch his face down his neck with my claws. The yelp I receive in return tells me it had the desired effect. Before he can make a move toward me or to escape, my bite lands on the opposite side while I pin him to the ground.
He tries fighting but I release my bite and roar at him, my crimson eyes burning like stars. The sound echos throughout the bayou.
With that handled I step back and wait for the intruder to walk away. He does so after a few minutes, limping heavily. I let out one more deep, echoing howl announcing to everyone in hearing distance that this belongs to me.
