Loving a Mikaelson

Chapter 17: I Never Wanted This

Lacey's POV

Chapter 17: I Never Wanted This

I gasp. "It's getting worse." My throat sears with pain. Tears fill my eyes, my entire body agonizes with an intense pain worse than I could've ever imagined. A hunger fills my body, a new thirst. But I know nothing will satisfy it, it can't be quenched. I won't allow it. "I'm sorry." I whisper, my voice grows weak and scratchy.

"No. This is my fault." Klaus replies. "I didn't mean the things I said, I was angry. You didn't do this." "It should've been me to die. You are the only thing that matters to me, sweetheart. You are the only one I care about."

"You were standing up to your father. I know what it's like. It sucks. I -" I trail off. He kisses my forehead. "You can tell me. What's on your mind, love?" I stay silent for a moment, contemplating a reasonble response. "When we met, in the woods, you asked about the bruise on my cheek. Well..."

I shut my eyes, as a tear falls from them. The memories are too powerful, too painful. Especally since I've been shutting them out for so long. "No." He whispers. "He didn't."

I nod, more tears fall down my face. I bite my lip. "Yes, Klaus, I do get it. I understand. I never stood up to him. You did. You killed him."

"You're dying. I was wrong, I'm sorry for that. But I want you to know this, everything I did was for for you."

"I believe you." I say, my voice now barely audible and aching. "But you're not giving me the full story. You left because you were scared. Because every time you've felt something for anyone they let you down. And you're scared to trust, you're scared to believe, and most of all you're scared to love. But that's what makes part of you human."

"How could you possibly believe that? I will never be close to human. I am a murderer. You are being irrational."

"I've seen it. Anyone capable of love, is capable of being saved." He lets out a slow and heavy sigh, turning away from my gaze. I can tell that there are fresh tears forming in his eyes. "You're hallucinating."

"Maybe. I am dying, right? I guess I'll never know. But please remember I always loved you, no matter what. I always will, Klaus."

Klaus's POV

Lacey gasps for air, closing her eyes. "Lacey?" I whisper. Her body goes still, she stops breathing, her heart stops beating. "Lacey?" My eyes are wide and angry. I won't let her leave me.

I sigh, giving in to what I know I must do. At this point I don't care what she wants. She's becoming a vampire, because I can't live without her, even if it kills me.

I find a blood bag. I grab it, pop it open, and shove it into her mouth. I know she'll always hate me for this. She'll never forgive me. But I would rather her never speak to me again, then to lose her completely. She sips the warm liquid, regaining consciousness.

Then she realizes what she's doing, she screams and pushes me and the blood bag away. "What have you done?!" She cries, tears filling her eyes. "I'm sorry, love." I whisper. "But I can't lose you."

"No. I was ready to die. YOU WATCHED ME DIE!" She shouts. I close my eyes. Damon slams the door open. "What the hell is happening in here?!" Before another word can be uttered, Lacey falls to the floor, screaming in agony. She opens her mouth to reveal straight, pointed, teeth. "It hurts!" She yells. Damon takes charge. He takes her in his arms as she cries out.

Lacey's POV

"Lacey." Damon whispers, soothingly. Hey, look at me." He lifts my chin up and peers into my eyes. "You're okay. You're okay. I'm so sorry, Lacey. Hey. When I turned, I'd wanted to die. All I wanted was Katherine, and she was dead. Stefan forced the blood into me. You had a choice, Lacey. You chose to live."

A sob escapes my throat, I shake my head. "No." I whisper. "No, I never wanted this."

Damon's POV

I turn to Klaus.

"You." I growl, fury in my voice. "Get out." I growled. "Just wait. I'm -  "

"GET OUT!"

"I'm sorry, Klaus." She whispers. He leaves without saying another word. I focus my attention back to Lacey, my eyes soften. "You'll make it through this, okay? I know you will." I ruffle her hair. "You're strong enough."
