I jump up and my brothers just stare at me as I flit away vamp speed to their house. "What is going on?" and June's on her knees, biting her bottom lip to stop the screaming. Then her shoulder shifts back wards and Matt's eyes are tearing up. "I'm not even a werewolf..." she whispers before crying out in pain. Then she goes flying across the room but I catch her and hold her down. It's difficult but being super strong helps. Elijah probably sensed something because he's here too. And that's when June's wrist snaps and she puffs out her cheeks. She keeps moaning about how she's not a werewolf and this didn't happen to Tyler's mum so why her? Matt wraps a blanket around her and I hold her close.
I check the time, it's 8:20, five minutes has passed and nothing else has happened. Matt's on the phone to Bonnie and Damon storms through the door and picks her up. The last broken bone knocked her out. But she's so strong. Any other human would be crying their eyes out. Matt's in tears at the sight of it. Elijah rubs the back of his neck obviously puzzled by it all, on the phone to his witch. Matt stomps off to the kitchen. I follow him and hug him. "What if the birth's like that? Or even worse? That could kill her." He's freaking out. "Then what would happen? I can't lose her, and then what about the baby?" He's scared and it actually pains me to see him this way. Damon's walking upstairs with her and kisses her forehead. At least he cares about someone and not in a whole, "I love you" way. 10 minutes later though we hear her jump out of bed and come downstairs, rubbing her eyes and beaming cutely at everyone. I shake my head as Matt hugs her close. What is she?
This happens every night at 8 o'clock for exactly 15 minutes. It's actually bruising her everywhere now. We made Klaus watch one night and he says its like a transformation without turning into a wolf. Damon and Caroline stay over to keep it under control. Klaus frowns at that and barges into Damon whenever he walks past. Damon's noticing it now. We haven't told Kol. It doesn't concern him and June hates the idea of so many people fussing and knowing about it. Fussing being her word.
Bonnie stomps in one day and declares she has the answer. "Okay so we know that once every year, there is a super-moon right?" But Damon furrows his brows. "The moon goes super-big. But this year, according to legend, the moon spins a different way. It's meant to be a gift of nature, but its painful. What happens is for the entire month, lycanthorpe vessels .i.e. June, will go through the pains of transformation to strengthen her for the birth." Damon curses loudly about stupid wolves. "However..." Bonnie continues, " on a more serious note, this is also a test to see if the vessel .i.e. June is worthy of bringing one into the world. There's a chance that this will kill her." Bonnie's eyes are serious and Elena stiffens, shaking her head. My heart drops and I feel like I'll cry, so I turn it off. Matt stops breathing for a second and his face stiffens as he stare at his hands. June comes sliding into the kitchen and hugs Elena and smiles at everyone before making hot drinks. I just watch her the whole way through. She heard us. She's not stupid. But there's no fear or worry in her eyes. She just marches on like a soldier.
I growl at Klaus as I walk through the door and throw my shoes around. Kol smirks, "Someone's in a mood today." I scowl at him and stomp off upstairs before slamming the door shut. "Careful... your showing you care..." Klaus opens the door and leans against the wall. "So, what's up with you today?" He sneers down at me and I tell him to go away. Then Elijah steps inside and sits onto the bed with me and holds my hand. "It'll be okay. June's a trooper." I snatch my hand back. "It'll be good for me if she goes. " I spit. I 'll push her away. I've gotten too close to a measly human that I can't even change. Elijah tuts at me. He knows me too well to see what I'm trying to do. It's dumb to get close to someone; especially a girl like her, who refuses to hold onto the bad things people do. Klaus looks at Elijah quizzically before looking back at me. "Come along, Niklaus, our sister has issues to work through." And I throw a pillow at them as they stomp out and close the door.
Klaus:
"What was that all about?" I'm curious. What's going on with June? She's quite the character. But Elijah waves me away. They're hiding something from me. But I am who I am. I'll find out soon enough. I'm quite hungry today. But I want something fresh. I pick up my jacket and head outside, Kol tagging along. It's always fun grabbing a snack with someone who thinks like you. So we're stomping through the square. And I see June and Tyler Lockwood. "Please, just do this for me, please..." he's begging and pulling her into a store. She shakes her head again and again but finally gives in. Push-over. I can see Kol stiffen. He definitely feels something for this girl. And today she looks exquisite. She's wearing a cream scallop laced skater dress with ¾ sleeves and her legs are bare. Her hair is voluminous and pulled back into a pony-plait. "This dude pisses me off, so much you don't understand, June." It's a music shop and this fat guy walks over to her and peers at her disgustingly. Tyler growls and he snaps his head up. He's extremely obese with long frizzy hair that reaches his shoulders and glasses that rest on his spot- riddled face. "So how can I help you, today?" He eyes her and bites his lip. Nasty, I think I'll kill him. Kol is with me. I've followed them into the store. She just cocks her head at him cutely and smiles, completely oblivious to it all. He's resting his hand on her shoulder and Tyler's strolled off looking at guitars. "I want to look at guitars," her lips are pursed and his eyes just fondle her. "Why would a pretty little thing like you, worry herself with something as heavy and difficult as guitar. You don't seem the type." Typical. "That's why I'm here. I was hoping you'd help me," and she twiddles with his hair. He blushes and guides her over to the appropriate section. "So what type of guitar would you like?" He smiles down at her, "The type you plug into a black box." She smiles and he laughs at her, gleefully and this look spreads across his face like wow you're stupid. Then he pulls out a black guitar, "Oooh, can I test it out?" and he nods before stepping back and watching her fumble with the strums to tune it. "Tyler, play a song on your phone." And the guy gapes at her. Tyler steps up and plays Lawson, the song Juliet.
Then she waits for the cue, keeping eye contact with the dude the entire time and winks before blowing the roof off the place. The guy gasps at her in shock, then pulls out the plug and ushers the two out of the store. "Up yours, fat ass." Tyler whoops and he wraps an arm around June. The dude was sniffing her hair before. He's definitely a weirdo. Before I go over there, Kol flits over and snaps the guy's neck. I shake my head at him. He does feel something for the girl.
Then we flit out of the store. "That was disgusting..." we hear June say. I chuckle at the look on his face as Tyler stares dumb-founded at the man whose standing in front of them. June blinks really hard as if she can't believe her eyes. "Mason..." she breathes as he bends down and kisses her belly before wrapping his big strong arms around her. He aims a kiss at her mouth but she moves her head so it lands on her cheek. Kol's clenching his fist extremely tight. Damon flits in out of nowhere and wraps his arm around June's waist; protectively in a way. Is this Mason Lockwood?
June:
Why is he here? Damon pulls me away and I'm still registering the shock. My eyes are wide as I stare at Damon and I feel like a lost puppy. Then I start laughing and rolling my eyes as he fidgets. I walk over to Elena and hug her. It's always reassuring to hug her. It's warm and genuine. It's 7 o'clock now. "I have to get home now. Whole bone snapping's going to start. I'll see you in a bit." Damon nods at me and Elena kisses my cheek. I stomp out the Grill only for a napkin to muffle me and everything goes black.
I wake up and I'm in the Lockwood mansion. I rub my eyes and yawn. Tyler runs to me and hugs me. "How did I get here?" My eye sight is hazy and he mumbles about Mason. "Crap what time is it?" but before he can ask I'm thrown across the room. "Call Damon!" I screech as Tyler holds me down but its no use, he goes flying as well. This is bad, this is really really bad. I get thrown again and Mason yelps as I land on him. "What in hell, June..." but that's when the bones start to snap. Mason's eyes widen and he holds me down. This part kills and I'm pursing my lips to stifle the groans. This time it's really hard. "I'm not a fucking werewolf," I shout out as I jump up and go flying, knocking onto Mason in the process. He leaves the room before coming back with a knife. Stefan storms through the door at that point, and hits Mason in the face before pulling me in. I'm trapped in his hug and he stomps out the house. He flits to our house and I see Rebekah running up to us. My hands keep snapping and then my back breaks and this time, I have to scream. She stares widely at me and takes me from Stefan before jumping into the sitting room and holding me down on the floor. My back resets itself but snaps again and Elena storms in, "OH MY GOD!" I scream and my spine feels like powder. She runs out and Stefan holds her close. "What the hell is this?" Stefan's eyes are wide and his eyes searching as Matt steps up and explains everything. I hear a crunch and everything goes black. When I wake up, my skin is on fire and I can hear people scuttling around. I hold my head in my hands and rub my bump before pulling my legs over the bed-side and stomping out of my bedroom.
Elena runs and hugs me close. I kiss her cheek and laugh it off before hugging Stefan. "Thank You," I whisper and smile at him. "Ooh are we having another sleep-over?" And I wiggle my eyebrows but Elena scoffs at me. Stefan and Elena mumble how they have to get going and brush my hand as they walk out. Then Damon jumps in pissed off.
"Where on earth did you go?" he hisses and I laugh at him. "I was nowhere." I know that he'll probably wail on Mason if I say what happened. "You need to be responsible..."but he gets cut off when the doorbell rings. I run and slide to the door and open it. It's Tyler and he's looking grim. I jump and hug him. "Are you okay?" I whisper and he nods. "Don't say anything to Damon," I mouth pressing my finger to my lips as I pull him inside.
He sits down, his face grey and pale. He just stares at me. Damon's looking at him as if he's catching on. "So where were you, June?" he's grumpy, " Damon," I shoot a look at him and I turn to leave but he pulls me close to him, his face an inch away and he's hissing. Rebekah pulls him off me. "I know where she was." Tyler whispers and Damon flits over to him. "Damon, don't." I shake my head but Damon snaps and breaks a plate, making Tyler flinch. "Mason. Mason knocked her out and brought her over. Says he wanted to talk to her about something important." Rebekah snarls and I turn on my heel and roll my eyes. "What was going on tonight, June?" He stops me from leaving and for once I do the explaining of it all. "I only have to go through that for three more days," I smile. But he holds me close and bites his lip like a little baby. Damon is fuming and pulls me to him, checking me for any bruise marks. "He used those smelly napkin things." I smile widely at him. "Don't go all revenge-y on him. Don't kill him...again" I look him dead in the eye and he scowls. Then he mumbles how this time he'd actually deserve it.
I'm in the grill. I'm wearing black leggings and a purple skater dress. I don't want to buy maternity clothes and I love the feel of leggings on my bump. Klaus comes and plops down next to me, smiling. He's cracking all these jokes that I can't help but laugh at. Then Mason stomps off and makes a bee-line for me. Klaus holds my hand, something he does whenever a stranger walks past. I don't know why. He holds out his hand and I smile at him before saying bye to Klaus and taking it. I look back and give him a thumbs up as Mason leads me out the Grill.
Klaus:
That's the man from the other day. I don't like the look of him. But June seems to trust him. Then Damon stomps in from the bathroom, pissed off. He's been holding that expression for quite some time now. "Where's June?" He growls and I smile at him. I want to see if there's any feelings there for June, "Oh, she's gone off with that lad who kissed her bump the other day. Quite a handsome fellow, don't you think?" And Damon's face drops, and there is sincere worry on his face. "Do you want her to die?" Damon growls at me before stomping off. Now what is that about? Damon barges past Kol who glares at him devilishly before heading towards me. "What's that about?" "Something about June and letting her go off with that guy from the town square the other day." I jump up and walk into Damon's direction because I don't like this either. And I like June. She really is too trusting for her own good.
