"There, you've had your week getaway. Now it's time to go home," Tyler stated.
"I'm not going home," I announced, causing him to look at me in surprise. "I can't go back to being Klaus' lap dog and that's exactly what he's going to do."
"You're being ridiculous! Let him help you! You're gonna die!" He yelled at me.
"And I'll die with dignity!"
"Fine," he huffed. "At least let me drive you somewhere. Where are you wanting to go?"
"Hmm," I said as I began to think about it. I've been alive for quite some time. There wasn't really anywhere that I hadn't been. I had time to thank for that. I leant my head against my hand, which was propped up against the car door.
"Maddie," Tyler said in frustration.
"How about New York?" I suggested. I had some fun back there in the forties. I was well aware of how much the city had changed, but I didn't doubt that I couldn't adjust. I always did.
Tyler didn't answer. He simply shifted the gear into drive. I smiled as we pulled away, trying to ignore the burning sensation in my wrist. I could see it growing darker from under my white long sleeve T-shirt. I lowered my arm in attempt to hide it from the hybrid beside me. I knew that he was worried about me. I knew that if he saw how fast my condition was worsening, he would take me back in a heartbeat. I couldn't let that happen. Ever.
A silence fell among us as we drove. It was an awkward silence. It was somewhat eery. It was like the aroma of death surrounded us. I could tell that I may not make it through the next week. Hell I may not even live to see tomorrow. I felt like I had been starved for weeks, but I tried my best to contain it. My wrist hurt, my head ached, and my stomach yearned for something — anything — to eat.
It was nearly midnight when Tyler finally pulled over. We agreed that it wouldn't be necessary to compel ourselves a hotel room. The car would be alright for the night. He filled up the car at the gas station before pulling into the truck pull beside it. He almost immediately fell asleep, but I couldn't get past the pulling in my chest. It were as if I didn't eat, my heart would fall right out of my chest. I had been drinking blood bags all day, but they weren't enough. I needed something fresh.
As if on command, two teenagers snuck across the parking lot. I watched as a darker haired boy pulled his girlfriend back behind one of the cars. I could hear their giggles thanks to my supernatural abilities. So "innocent". I felt my eyes darken as I thought of the love I had once witnessed when I was human. There was no such thing as innocent love. Everything and everyone in this world was corrupt.
I moved my hand up to the ceiling of the car and turned the overhead lights off so they wouldn't come on when my door opened. I slowly moved to the handle, pulling it towards me. The door opened, letting in a draft. I looked over to Tyler who only shivered under the cool wind. I let out a sigh as I swung my legs out of the vehicle and slowly let them hit the ground. I pushed the door closer to the vehicle without actually closing it.
Then I heard the squeals.
I cringed as I stood there. I clutched my wrist closer to me, noticing that it had turned completely black. My stomach growled and I felt the veins begin to pop out from under my eyes. Maybe if I fed, the pain would go away for just a little while. I vamped over to the end of the truck before forcing myself to stop. I hadn't actually fed on humans in years. What was I doing? I remembered as soon as the familiar pain jolted through me.
Within seconds I stood before the couple with their faces hidden. The male had the girl pinned against the truck and both of their faces remained hidden in each other's. I crossed my arms in annoyance. Teenagers these days. Teenagers who hadn't really had a chance to live yet. What was wrong with me? Who was I becoming? My stomach burned yet again, pulling me further away from logic.
"You know, it isn't safe to be out here all alone. You never know who could be lurking out there. Or what," I said, finally letting them know I was there. The couple froze, and I could see the girl's grip on the boy tighten. I only smirked in response.
"Trust me, we know," The familiar voice said. My eyes widened as the two turned around, revealing themselves as Bonnie and Jeremy. I wasn't able to give them much of a reaction before something was shot into my neck, my arm, and my back before I collapsed.
~*~*~*~*
I woke up in an unfamiliar room. My body no longer ached, but I felt more refreshed than ever. Perhaps the pain of the vervain darts reversed the disease within me. Not very realistic, but it was nice to think. I pulled my arm out from under the pale white comforter and stared down at the blank skin. It was gone. What had they done to me? I found my answer as a familiar voice spoke up.
"I killed him," he said without emotion. I looked over at the blonde who sat perched on a chair beside the bed. How had I not seen him before? "They threw my biggest adversary at me, and I conquered him. But yet I find that perhaps I haven't really conquered my biggest adversary quite yet. Because as I staked him, all I could feel was sorrow. Not because I had killed my father, but because I had lost the very thing that made my life worth living to begin with."
I stared at him as his blue eyes began to tear up. His posture slouched, giving him a frail look. His eyes were circled with dark bags. My heart ached at the sight, but I ignored that as I watched him. He was in pain, but he deserved it. He had caused me so much pain. He deserved to hurt. He deserved to feel remorse.
"My biggest adversary is the hatred that brews inside you. Not only the hatred for me, but your hatred for life and for love. Since you have maintained in your hateful state, you have denied yourself the happiness that you deserve. The happiness that I had once stripped away from you. And yes, I am well aware that you do not believe me, but I swear to you that I am being nothing but honest to you when I say that I am apologetic to what I have done to you."
"Why am I here Klaus?" I finally stopped him, feeling myself becoming overwhelmed.
"You are here because you needed me. Just as I need you," he answered softly, finally allowing one tear to slide down his cheek. As his hand lifted to wipe the tear away, I finally spotted the dried blood on his wrist.
He gave me his blood.
