I wake up to the sun, shining through a large window, hitting my eyelids. I feel extremely dazed and weak. I open up my cloudy eyes and I feel something throbbing on my arm. I look down and see that there is a very large wolf bite sitting on my arm. Just sitting there, throbbing and aching.

"Oh Penelope! You're finally awake! I was starting to get bored." Lucien says as he approaches me. I look around and see that I am in his penthouse which only makes my heart speed up faster. I look at him with wide eyes.

"You... You bit me..." I mutter as I hold my arm while looking at him.

"Sampled quite a bit of your blood, you know, with you being a hybrid and all I was quite curious. Very sweet and very rich, just like I had expected." Lucien smiles at me as he sits down on his couch.

"Oh my God... Lucien, I'm going to die... I can't die.. No I can't." I say in complete shock while shaking my head.

"My apologies love, but your days were numbered when you first laid your eyes on Nik. Death is the fate to anyone who gets close to the bastard... Myself excluded." Lucien smiles smugly as I just look at him. Surprisingly, all of my adrenaline begins pumping through my body. I look down at my high heeled shoes and swallow hard as Lucien looks away from me.

I reach down and take my shoes off, throwing them at him, puncturing his neck and chest. "Bloody hell" He hisses. That is when I make my move. I run as fast as I can towards the one of his glass windows and just burst through it, shattering it to pieces as I begin flying through the air. I land on the roof of a lower building and feel the wind get knocked out of me as I hit the surface of that roof.

I breathe heavily and look at my throbbing bite. When I look at it, all I think about is that I need to get back home. That is the only thing I think about. It's the only thing on my mind.

"Klaus! Klaus!" I call out as I enter the compound, feeling a bit weak from the long walk over here. Within a second Klaus appears into the entrance way of the courtyard.

"Penelope, where in the bloody hell were you?" Klaus asks angrily, probably upset at the fact that I never came back last night.

"Klaus... Something happened to me last night, and I know that you are going to want to be angry and lash out but that is exactly what Lucien wants which is why he did what he did." I say to Klaus rambling on, trying to avoid the point that I am about to reach.

"What did he do?" Klaus asks in a low growl.

"Niklaus, please... You have to promise me that you will not fly off the handle and do something crazy.." I say to him as my chest bounces up and down. Klaus just looks down at my arm and rolls up my sleeve, exposing the infected wolf bite. I swallow hard as I see his face twist with anger and despair. He is about to pull away from me but I stop him.

"No, no you don't get to do that right now." I say to him as I put my hands on his face, making me look at him. "Klaus, I love you... And right now, I'm not going to let yourself get killed because our little girls are going to need you, and I don't want them growing up without a mother and father." I say to him, trying to remain strong, but at the end of my sentence I feel my knees give out and I fall into Klaus.

"Penelope.." Klaus says despaired as he holds me and looks at me. I look at him in the eyes and grab his bicep for support. "I can tell you that I love you tomorrow, because you're not dying today." Klaus says as he scoops me up in his arms bridal style and begins carrying me across the courtyard. The weakness in me spreads and in his arms, I fall into unconsciousness.

"P? P?" A soft voice says, waking me up. I open my tired eyes and see Hayley looking at me concerned as I am laid on the couch. "Are you alright?" Hayley asks concerned. I look at her and sit up.
