Loving a Mikaelson

Chapter 14: Full Speed Ahead

Lacey's POV

Chapter 14: Full Speed Ahead

I go to Caroline's birthday party/funeral with the rest of the gang - Elena, Matt, Caroline, and Bonnie. It's a blast. Laughing, drinking, and just having fun. Caroline walks out to talk to Tyler. Apparently he has some unresolved feelings or something for her. Aftershe doesn't return, Matt and I decide to go search for her, and Elena and Bonnie hang back just in case she returns.

"Caroline!" He calls. "Come on, Caroline!" I yell. There's was a rustle in the bushes. "Ooh Matt's being haunted by the Fell ghost!" I joke, remembering an old story from when we were kids. Matt actually used to live in Evington, which is where I used to live before Stefan and Damon. We were best friends. Since birth, actually. Our moms knew each other, and he was always nice to me. At some point, he moved back here. We tried to keep in touch, but one day we just stopped talking.

He laughs, shoving me. "I've missed you, Lace. You know that?" I giggle, shoving him back. "Yeah, I know. Imissed you too." I said, grinning. Something throws Matt flying against the wall. I try to scream, but whatever threw Matt covers my mouth and my cries are muffled and unheard.

That's when I realize, my kidnapper is Stefan.

The car whizzes by at an incredible speed. I'm in the passenger seat, against my will and Stefan drives to God knows where. "What are you doing, Stefan?" I ask worried for my life. My phone rings. I pull it out of my pocket to answer, but Stefan grabs it from my hand.

Stefan's POV

"Hello, Damon. She's a little busy right now." I tell him through the phone. "Why the hell do you have Lacey's phone?" He asks, annoyed. "Making my next move. Let me ask you something. What's Klaus going do if the one person that cares about him were to accidentally fall off the bridge?" Flips around to face me, her eyes going wide. "What?!" I ignore her.

"Stefan, leave her out of this!" Damon warns. I end the call, ignoring my brother. I roll down the window instead, throwing Lacey's phone out of the car. "What are you doing?!" She shouts. "Stefan, let me out of this car." I ignore her pleading, and continue to drive faster. "Do you hear me? Let me out of the car."

"So what's the plan, Stefan? What's the big move you're making?"

"I want my freedom, Lacey. I also want revenge."

She laughs. "So what are you going to do, Stefan? Huh? Lock me in a cave and keep me hostage?"

"Maybe I'll just turn you into a vampire." She looka at me, fear, pain, and hurt all mixed in a swirl of emotions shows through her chocolate eyes.

"Stop the car, Stefan." She demands. "STOP THE CAR, STEFAN!" Her voice is now a scream, terrified and panicking. I only accelerate faster, dialing Klaus's number on my phone, and putting it on the dashboard. "Stefan! How nice to hear your voice!" Klaus says on the other end.

"I want my freedom, Klaus." I growl. He chuckles. "Well that's not going to happen."

I laugh. "Okay! Then I'm going to drive the only person who cares about you off Wickery Bridge." Lacey stares out the window, eyes now grey. I could tell she was trying not to feel, trying to block out the words. Almost like a vampire shutting off their humanity switch.

"He doesn't care about me anymore." She mumbles. "You're wasting your time."

"I don't believe you, Stefan. You won't kill her." Klaus retorts. I bite my wrist, and shove it on Lacey's mouth.

She struggles, fighting me. She coughs and sputters, but I manage to get the blood in her system and I pulls my arm away. "What are you doing?!" She screams. "What's going on?" Klaus demands, his voice like a feral dog on the attack. "I just fed her my blood." I reply. "Is that what you want, Klaus? For your girlfriend to become a monster like you?"

"He doesn't care, Stefan! LET ME GO!" She screams, tears spilling down her cheeks.

"You won't do it."

I just smile. "Really? Try me." We near an upcoming bridge. "Say goodbye to her human appearence, Klaus." I say, preparing to do what I have to, all for my freedom. Lacey screams. "Stefan! Stefan, slow down! Stefan! Stefan, stop it!"

"Fine." Klaus agrees. "I'll be in Mystic Falls tomorrow. You win."

I only speed up. The car races faster and faster. "STEFAN! STEFAN, STOP!" Lacey cries.

"Stop the car, Stefan." Klaus growls, fear evident in his voice.

Lacey screams once again as the brakes screech the car to a hault.

Lacey's POV

I try to slow down my breathing. I open the car door, and wipe the blood off my mouth. "Get back in the car." Stefan commands, following me

"Stay away from me!" I cry, running away from him. "Lacey, get in the car!" He yells. I spin around. "HOW COULD YOU?!" Tears spill onto my cheeks. "You knew that I loved him! You used it against him! Against me! You're supposed to protect me!"

"Look, he had to believe I'd do it, alright?" Stefan said. "Well what if he hadn't?" I shout. "He did." Stefan argues. "WELL WHAT IF HE HADN'T?!"

"He did, Lacey! He had a weakness. You are his weakness. I need to destroy him." A sob escaped my lips. "You'd be willing to destroy him bydestroying me? After everything, that's what matters? Destroying the one person I can say I have loved? You said you would protct me. You said you would keep me safe." I turned away. "Destroying Klaus is all I have left. You're not hurt, Lacey. You got out in one piece."

"You have me! I'm your sister, Stefan! You have Damon, and Elena! You have people that love you! I didn't always have that. You're throwing everything away! I can't forgive you for this! You tried to kill me." 

He shakes his head. "I'm sorry I'm not the fatherly type you pictured." With that, he gets back in his car and drives away.

Damon's POV

"Thanks for picking me up." Lacey says to me when we arrive home. "Anytime." I smile. "Are you going to be okay?" She sighs, looking at me head on. "I'll survive. Somehow. I always do." She brushes it off like it was nothing, but I can tell she's hurting.

"Really. Tell me. Are you going to be okay?" 

"The truth is, Damon. I don't know. But what I do know, is that tomorrow I'll wake up. And put on a brave face. Because I don't know what will happen tomorrow, or the next day, or whenever. But I'm not giving up anytime soon, not now, not ever." I smile down at her. "You'll be okay, Lacey. You're the bravest girl I know. You'll get through this."

"Thanks Damon. Goodnight." I smile. "Goodnight, Lacey."
