Chapter Twenty One

I sat silently on the couch as I flipped through the channels, my mind close to exploding from boredom. I sat in Klaus's Mansion, my warm mug of coffee on lap with my legs crossed on the coffee table. I bite my lip in satisfaction when How I Met Your Mother comes on the television and I lean back on the couch, sipping on my coffee.

If you're waiting for me to say it, then I will. I drank the blood and I transformed into a hybrid in front of Damon on the Wickery Bridge under the stars at midnight.

I remember how I looked this morning when I looked in the mirror and transformed, wondering how I looked as a hybrid. My eyes were shining blue with bloody veins around them. Veins had appeared under my eyes. My fangs were sharp, similar to a werewolf's and a vampire's combined.

If I'm being completely honest here then I will tell you how I feel.

For starters, I feel dead. But I also feel like I had betrayed everyone. Now I'm sired to Klaus and god knows what I might do. I know that I will end up hurting my friends — both emotionally and physically — but I will have no control over that. There also might be a scenario where I have the option to either save Elena or Klaus, and due to the sire bond I will probably choose to save Klaus.

My own life might be at risk too. By instincts, someone might lash out for Klaus but then I'd jump in and they will rip my heart out instead. There are so many scenarios in my head that could happen. Worst part is that whatever is going to happen, I won't have any control over it whatsoever. So me being me, I choose to distance myself from everyone besides Klaus since I'm basically stuck with him.

As much as I want to hate Klaus for ruining my life, I couldn't find myself to. I feel this respect and the need to please him. I knew it was the sire bond and god did I want to break it. I tried — so many times — to snap at him or to lash out for what he did to me, it was always the bond stopping me and reminding me that it was there.

It's like I'm putting Klaus first before everyone else and even myself. I'd die for him and I'd sacrifice everything for him and to save him. I'd risk everything to make sure that by the end of the day he would be safe and unharmed and alive. That's why it hurt. Because I knew inside and deep down in my heart that I will always put Klaus before myself and everyone else, all thanks to the stupid sire bond that I have no control over whatsoever.

I knew that you could break the sire bond because Tyler did for his strong love towards Caroline. Before I could think further, Klaus steps into the living room, his frown turning into a big bright smile when he catches my eyes.

"Good afternoon, Princess." Klaus greets, sitting on the couch beside me. "How are you feeling?" He asks, tilting his head.
