Lacey's POV

Chapter 27: 99 Problems

I eat breakfast then head upstairs to get dressed. Today's Plan: breakfast, excruciating pain, sleep. All in a day's work, right? After squeezing into my favorite pair of skinny jeans, I get a sick feeling in my gut. I run to my bathroom and throw up in the toilet.

I grimace, flushing it down. That'll be the last time I let Damon cook me breakfast.

Ew.

I brush my teeth, hating the taste I now have in my mouth. I go back to my bedroom, slipping on a loose t-shirt. After finally finishing everything from my hair to my makeup, I head out the door. 

Things would be so much freaking simpler if I could drive. I guess I could always get someone to teach me, sadly, I have plenty of free time.

I walk down the sidewalk, meeting eyes with another guy walking towards me. "Hey, do I know you?" He asks. "You look familiar." He's got short black hair and brown eyes. He's wearing a green shirt and black jacket, complete with baggy jeans. Honestly, he could probably pass as my brother. 

I shrug. "Probably not. I'm Lacey."

"Oh, you're the Salvatore's sister, right?"

I smirk. "Something like that. Who's asking?"

"Tyler Lockwood." He holds out a hand for my to shake, which I do. "Oh, you're Elena's friend, right?"

"Yeah. So, I hear you're a hybrid."

My jaw drops, I drag him away from waundering eyes, pushing him against a building. "What do you know about me?" I growl. He overpowers me somehow, and then it's me against the wall.

"What are you?"

"Same as you. A hybrid."

"How? And how do you know about me?"

"Long story. Elena told me." He replies. "How are you handling it?" 

"How should I be handling it? It obviously sucks."

He smirks, losing his grip on me completely."Tell me about it. Heightened emotions, weird blood cravings, and to top it all off, a sire bond." I grin. Tyler Lockwood is actually starting to grow on me. "Have you broken it yet?" I sigh, shaking my head. "You?" He nods. "Are you planning on it?"

"Tonight, actually." He raises his eyebrows. "Need any help?" I shake my head. "I've got somebody. Thanks anyway." He gives a slight nod. "Hey does the sire bond um..." I trail off. "Does it affect your emotions?"

He shakes his head. "Nah. I'll do what Klaus said and still hate his guts. If the feelings weren't already there, they wouldn't appear out of the blue." God, that's a relief. "I've got to go. It was great meeting you, Lacey."

I nod. "Yeah, you too."

"If you have any more questions or you need some help tonight, Stefan has my number. Call me or something."

I nod. "Yeah, okay."

I get to Klaus's and walk to the towards him, he's on the steps. He greets me with a gentle kiss. "Hey." I whisper. "Hey." He replies, our hands intertwine. "You ready, sweetheart?"

 "Not in the slightest."

+ + + + +

I scream. Every bone in my body is breaking. I've never felt anything like this before. So much agony. Klaus holds me in his arms through every second. Every minute of excruciating pain, he's by my side whispering words of comfort. Through every single transformation, wolf or human.

"I love you, I love you, I love you."

I squeeze his hand. I think this is only twenty-five.

Klaus's POV

I hold her as she cries, as she screams. "I love you, I love you, I love you." I mean every word. I kiss her face even though I knew nothing I could do would make the pain go away. I can only hold her and wipe away the tears. "Klaus?" She whispers. "Yes, sweetheart?" I think she's nearly halfway done. "Klaus, I love you." I smile. "I know."

She screams, her back and arms twist unnaturally. "Klaus! Make it stop! Make it stop!" She cries. "I can't." I tell her. "You're almost done. I promise. Soon it will be over. I love you."

"I know."

At seventy-five, she's begging, pleading, for me to make the pain go away.

At eighty, I'm pleading. " Lacey I can't do it. I can't watch this."

"No." She whispers. "I have to finish. It has to be over. I want everything to be real." "But I thought - " She cuts me off. "I have to." I kiss her hair as she screams again. "Klaus!" She cries. "I'm here, love." I whispers. "Is it almost over?" She asks, sweat covering her forehead. "Yes. You're almost done. You're doing amazing. You're so strong. But I promise you, this won't be the only reason I'll have you screaming my name." She laughs, even as she's crying. True beauty.

When it's finally over, she stops fighting. "It's over." She whispers.

"Come here." I say, holding her tight in my arms. I kiss her hair, wiping her tears away. "It's over, sweetheart. You're free." I carry her back to the boarding house. I ring the doorbell and Damon answers with a worried look when he sees Lacey. She's completely out. Sound asleep and dead to the world. "What the hell happened?" Damon whispers/yells. "She didn't tell you?"

 She broke the sire bond."

"She turned a hundred times all in one night?" I nod. "It was her choice." He sighes. "You can come in." I smirk, walking in the door without any trouble. Finding Lacey's room, I put her in the bed and slide in next to her. I kiss her cheek. "Goodnight, love."

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ! Here's your update as promised. Song is Miles !
