Coming for the crown

Chapter 7: Stranger things happen everyday

Elena's pov:

Dear Diary,
I'm gonna be blunt, there's no sugar coating it. I died, now I'm a vampire. I never wanted to be one. Ever since I found out about Stefan's secret. I accept what he was but I never wanted to be a part of that world. But unfortunately now I am. Elijah and Klaus argued about my new form this morning, Elijah feels I should try blood bags or the animals diet. Whereas Klaus thinks I need blood "straight from the vein" at least that's what he said.

Elijah took me hunting this morning. I was successful on my first try, but I couldn't hold it down. Every drop of blood I took down came straight back up. I even tried a blood bag when I got back to the compound but I couldn't keep that down either. Maybe I should talk to Klaus, I just don't think Elijah will understand...

I walked downstairs and went to find Klaus, I find him sketching something in his study. I leaned against the door and gently knocked on it.

Elena: Mind if I come in?

He gently closed his sketchpad and gestured for me to come in. I closed the door behind me and slowly walked over to his desk.

Elena: Something's wrong.. I can't keep any of the animal blood down.
Klaus: well there's a shock.
Elena: I think I need your help
Klaus: of course you do. Cmon lets go into town and you can pick your meal..
Elena: No.. no human blood. Elijah's right I have to at least try to get through this without hurting anyone.
Klaus: fine, come here.

He grabbed my arm and pulled me over to him as he stood up. I looked at him confused as he bit into his hand.

Klaus: Drink
Elena: what
Klaus: you're a new vampire Elena, you need warm blood from the vein. Maybe this will do the trick, or not.. but just don't tell Elijah or Rebekah
Elena: Why not?
Klaus: because blood sharing is kind of personal
Elena: what do you mean it's personal?
Klaus: Just drink!

Part of me didn't want to but for some reason I had this urge to listen to Klaus' every word and with that I gently gripped his hand and bit into it before drinking his blood. The taste was sensational I felt myself getting lost in it, but maybe that was just the new found vampire side of me. I moved closer to Klaus chest as I drank almost cuddling into him but somewhere along the way I pinned Klaus to the wall with my vampire speed and he gently stroked my head as I drank from his hand.

A couple hours had passed and I'd just been in my room since, I was kinda embarrassed to look Klaus in the eye after I fed from him. I knew he would tease me about just how much I enjoyed it, maybe too much. But again something felt wrong inside of me, I got up from my bed and headed through to the bathroom. I looked at myself in the mirror and ran my hands through my long brown hair before I started to cough up blood, it went all over the mirror, in the sink and down my clothes. I turned and ran over to the toilet and dropped on my knees in front of it but throwing up more blood all over the toilet. I felt scared, I didn't know what was happening, what was wrong with me. I panicked and just started cleaning. I was pacing all over the bathroom trying to clean up all the blood, I can't imagine the noise I was making but I must've been making a lot because Klaus ended up coming to the bathroom while I was cleaning all the blood up.

Klaus: you know I don't think you could make any more noise if you tried..

Then he saw me teary eyed, blood all down my clothes and all over the bathroom. I've seen him look at me worried before when I was in transition.. but this, this look was a different level of worried.
