Hey guys so im soo sorry for the late update but, here it is! And thank you again for everyone reviewing!
don't own the VD, just the stuff you don't recognize.
Damons POV-
As I held her in my arms as we sped to the hospital her eyelids began to flutter shut and her face pailed, lips turning from a rosey pink to a blue.
"Stefan, Go! Now! She's turning blue!," I yelled at Stefan In the drivers seat as he hit the accelerator.
We pulled up at the hospital quickly but before we got out I made a irrational decision as Stefan wrenched open the passenger door almost ripping it off its hinges.
I pulled my sleeve back from my wrist and quickly made a large cut upwards and waited for the dark blood to spill out.
"Damon, what are you doing!" Stefan cried looking at me panicked.
"I am not having her die on me, this will either fix her or turn her, either way she's not leaving me!" I growled as I brought my wrist down to her mouth and drained a large amount into her open mouth.
"Damon no!" Stefan cried, but It was already to late, within the blink of an eye I flew out of the car past Stefan and straight into the emergency room.
"Help, I need somebody now!" I yelled out into the foyer, a minute later 2 nurses and a doctor rushed toward me, quickly taking Lacey from my arms.
"Whats wrong with her?" the doctor questioned as he rushed Lacey on a bed through a long corridor.
"Asthma, she has very bad asthma, the doctor said she has reactive asthma," as soon as the words were out of my mouth the doctor turned to the nurses.
"Code blue, I need something to open her throat up with, stat!" One of the nurses held me back as they finally pushed her through a set of big swinging doors.
"no, I need to go with her!" I cried out as the nurse held me back.
"I'm sorry sir, you wont be aloud past this point, you need to return to the waiting room," She said sympathetically.
I fought against it for 10 more minutes before finally giving up when Stefan came up behind me followed by Bonnie and Elena.
"Damon its going to be okay, she'll be fine," Elena tried to sooth.
"Yeah of course she'll be fine, he gave her his blood before they dragged her away," Stefan growled.
"You what!" Elena's voice was high and squeaky.
"His reasoning was that she was either going to be fine, or one of us, but of course she would still be with him and that's all Damon cares about, isn't it brother," Stefan growled at me again.
"Don't start with me brother, I did what I had to do to save her," I hissed back at his shoving him into the nearest wall, He quickly composed himself and marched right back over to me getting in my face.
"No Damon, you didn't do what you had to do, you just cant stand to be alone so you drag other people into your misery, you know If she's turned, she'll hate you forever!" He growled back
"We'll see," I finished, finalizing the conversation before walking back the foyer and sitting in one of the uncomfortable plastic chairs, Stefan, Elena and Bonnie reluctantly sitting down beside me.
Half an hour later and the doctor came back out to see us, I was the first to rise out of my chair so he aimed his news at me.
"She's in the clear now, we had to cut open her throat and stick some tubes down her airways to clear the passage, but she's fine now, actually she's probably better then fine, its an odd thing that she's recovered so quickly, her throat is completely open and she's breathing normally now, id like to keep her for another hour or 2 but after that she should be right to leave," He said sympathetically to the small group.
"Oh thank god," Elena said letting out a sigh of relief.
"Can we see her?" I Asked quickly, the doctor hesitated for a second but nodded in agreement after I worked a little mind control on him.
We followed the doctor back through the long hallway and through the doors to a private room off to the left of the doors, as soon as we stepped through the doors
Lacey was sitting up facing a nurse as she took some blood, She smiled tiredly as she saw us.
"Hey, she managed to croak out to me as I rushed to her side and hugged her.
"My little princess is okay," I smiled down at her, pushing her fringe out of her face, she frowned up at me for a second.
"You gave me your blood didn't you," She croaked out again, I played the innocent part.
"I don't know what your talking about I said sternly, she glared at me this time.
"Damon! You know what could have happened if id…if I hadn't of made it," She tripped up over the last couple of words as she looked at me.
"Don't be to hard on him little one, I probably would have done the same," Stefan said coming to my rescue and defending me.
"I don't need you defending me Stefan, I did what I had to do end of story," I growled.
We sat around bickering for the next 2 hours before finally the doctor came in and announced that we were free to take lacey home, I carried her all the way to the car, not wanting her to strain herself, she may have had my blood to heal her but she was still exhausted.
After arriving home, I took her straight to her room and tucked her into her bed, albeit her protests.
"Your going to stay in bed and rest," I growled as she tried to protest some more.
"Damon," She said slowly as if a question, I looked at her sad eyes.
"It wasn't a dream this morning was it, you and Stefan were arguing weren't you, downstairs, and you were covered in blood weren't you," I knew exactly what she was talking about, I pulled a questioning look.
"What are you talking about Lacey?" I played stupid again.
"You know what I'm talking about," she said catching my full attention this time as she growled at me.
"No Little one, I promise you, it was definitely a dream" I replied kissing the top of her forehead before pulling her blankets up around her, no sooner had I done that, she was asleep, breathing softly, I watched he innocent form lay sleeping before sighing and turning away and heading back down stairs.
I heard a commotion from the library as I descended to the landing, It was Stefan yelling at someone, there was a crash a glass was smashed, Elena cried out in panic.
As I rushed into the library I saw Stefan had Elena pinned up to the fireplace with a piece of broken chair aimed at her chest, it took me a second to do a double take before I realized that Elena was actually standing behind the couch and the commotion had been caused by none other then Katherine.
She looked over at me from the fireplace where Stefan had her pinned.
"Well hello there Damon," she said my name seductively.
"Katherine," I Growled in response "What the hell are you doing here"
"Nice to see you to," She squeaked out as Stefan tightened his grip on her throat and pushed the stake closer to her heart.
"Now now Stefan, we all know you would never kill me, so let's just drop the act shall we," Katherine said looking down at my younger brother.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that Katherine," Stefan growled again.
"I only came for a visit, no need to be so hostile boys," She winked at me and held a smirk on her face slowly.
"Leave. Now." I commanded at her, She pushed her bottom lip out in an attempt to sulk.
"Why would I wana do that when we're having so much fun here?"
"Oh I don't know, maybe because everyone here wants to rip you limb from limb, Now, LEAVE." I yelled my anger boiling up inside me, she sighed pulling her hands away from Stefan's arms in mock defense, he slowly let her down and placed her on the ground.
"Oh all right then, you boys used to be so much more fun," She laughed softly.
She slowly walked around Stefan and then began to walk past me, trailing a finger along my chest as she did, I snapped it away quickly, hating her touch me like that.
She stopped at the Library doorway and smiled sadistically at all of us, capturing everyone's attention at once.
"Oh and I have a message boys, From Klaus," With this we all stiffened the air becoming tense.
"I'll be seeing you," she smirked before disappearing out the door and through the front door with a soft click, we waited in silence for a minute before anyone uttered a word, I was the first to break it.
"Well that's just, GREAT," I turned to my liquor cabinet and grabbed a silver flask, downing the whiskey I had stored in there, all in one gulp.
"What are we going to do Stefan," Elena cried and ran into his awaiting arms, they just stood there, tight in and embrace as I rolled my eyes and took a seat on one of the couches.
"We need a plan and fast," Stefan said directing it at me, I rolled my eyes again.
That's great little brother but right now we have nothing, absolutely nothing, so unless you know how to kill an original or know someone who can, we're screwed,"
And with that, the realization dawned on us, as of right now, we had nothing.
Laceys POV-
I woke up early the next day not even being able to contain my excitement; it was my first day at a new school.
I had rested up the last couple of days after my accident so Id be fit and ready to leave the house when school started, the boys had been on edge the last couple of days, well everyone had really, maybe because it was from my accident I don't know but they were sure keeping a close eye on me.
I got ready in record time, putting on a pair of denim shorts and a plain white t-shirt, paired with the tiffany and co necklace that Damon had got me.
I played around with my curls until they sat perfectly and kept touching up my make up for fear of something smudging, after I decided I was happy with it I packed my Marc Jacobs black studded bag that Damon had also given me as a present and chucked on my ankle light blue converse, I took a final look in the mirror and with a nod I set off for downstairs.
Damon and Stefan were talking ferociously about something in the kitchen as I entered but quickly stopped when they saw me approach, both smiling a little to hard at me.
"There's my girl, All ready for school," Damon said hugging me with a pained face.
"You know if you don't feel up to going to school yet you can stay home with me and we can hang out, or I can take you shopping, we can do whatever you want?" Damon urged.
"Oh come on Damon, you've had me on lockdown for the last week, I need some fresh air and new people to talk to," I laughed at him, Stefan turned to look at us, all seriousness now on his face.
"Damon's right Lace, if you don't feel up to it you can stay home for longer?" Stefan questioned, I frowned.
"Seriously what is with you two! I'm fine! I NEED to leave the house I'm sick of being driven up the wall doing nothing!" I protested to their dismay, Damon sighed.
"Have you got everything? Books, Phone, Asthma Puffer, Lunch money?" Damon asked slowly.
"Yep, all there," I said smiling with enthusiasm.
"I think I should drop you to school," He started.
"DUDE! ENOUGH! I'm going with Stefan, everything is going to be okay, I'm not going to have an attack and I'm going to make new friends," I said smiling widely up at him, he along with Stefan had grim expressions on their faces.
"Seriously what is with you to, its like it's the end of the world that I'm going to school, its not like I'm going to die at school," I joked, they both had a frantic look to their eyes but tried to laugh it off.
"Yeah I guess your right and I'm going to be around ALL day so you should be fine," Stefan finished with a little to much emphasis on all, I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah okay Steffy, whatever you say" I said playfully punching his arm.
We walked as a group to the car, the guys looking around the yard slowly, that was a bit odd.
As I was about to climb into the car Damon grabbed me and gave me one last bone crushing hug before kissing my forehead and pulling me back to stare at me in all seriousness.
"If you need me at all, ANYTIME today, call me and I will be there in a flash," he said looking worryingly at me, okay now their behavior was a little bit suspicious.
"I know," I said smiling sweetly up at him before standing on my tip toes to give him a kiss on the cheek and then climbing slowly into the car.
As we pulled out of the driveway, I looked back at Damon's unmoving form, his forehead creased in a frown, arms crossed against his chest, it unnerved me, He was never like this.
"Stefan," I began as we pulled along the main road.
"Mm?" he said in reply as he drove carefully through town.
"What's up with Damon, I'm worried about him," I said slowly, he looked at me with a small smile.
"Nothing at all to worry about kiddo, he just worries about you an awful lot," he said frowning as we pulled into the school car park, I nodded in understanding but it was still worrying me.
As we crossed the lawn to the administration building we were greeted by Jeremy and Elena, I smiled widely at Jeremy, he'd been keeping me a lot of company the week I was on house arrest from my asthma hospital visit.
"Jer!" I ran up and hugged him tightly.
"There's my favorite girl," I smiled, I liked the sound of that, I wasn't going to admit it but I had formed a small crush on my newest closest friend.
"Hey Elena," I smiled over at the girl currently preoccupying Stefan's arms happily.
"Hey Lace, how are you feeling?" she asked concerned, I laughed at this.
"Well thanks to this one and Damon I've been on constant house arrest, and I've barley been able to leave bed, so right now, I'm feeling pretty amazing to be outside," I said pointing at Stefan and beaming widely.
"Well I'm glad your feeling better," she said returning the smile warmly.
"I have to take Lace to the administration building to get her forms sorted out but I'll see you in class?" Stefan questioned, She looked worried for a second but the expression was gone as she nodded and gave him a quick kiss walking into the building followed shortly by Jeremy.
"We'll probably have the same subjects so I'll see you in class Lace," Jeremy smiled before running to catch up with Elena.
"See you in there," I called back, Stefan looked amused.
"You two seem to be getting close," Stefan observed, I laughed.
"Of course, he was my first new friend in town," I beamed up at him happily.
"Yes well lets keep it that way," Stefan laughed it off.
The school day flew past as Stefan took care of all my papers and I got settled into all my classes, the only one I didn't have with Jeremy was French, other then that we were in the same History, Science, Math, English and Art Classes.
I had just finished French and was crossing the quad to the front of the cafeteria where Jeremy and Stefan both said they'd meet me when a stranger stood in my way, I looked up as I almost crashed into him apologizing quickly, he smiled down at me.
"The fault is entirely mine," He said in what sounded like a British accent, I looked him over once, he looked around Damon's age but I wasn't sure, could have been Stefan's age really, he had light caramel hair and bright green eyes, he had a gorgeous smile and perfect white straight teeth.
"I'm sorry so rude of me, I never introduced myself, my name is Nicklaus, Niklaus Mikaelson but everyone just calls me Klaus," he said politely extending a hand, I took it quickly, his touch was slightly cold and for a second I could've sworn I saw a look in his eyes but I quickly shook it off.
"I'm Lacey, Lacey Salvatore, nice to meet you, are you new here?" His smile grew for a second and then he nodded, yes actually just transferred in, I'm a little lost, I'm trying to find my way to the cafeteria," He had that gorgeous smile on again and I was mesmerized.
"Oh so did i! I know it's a little confusing, I can show you the way if you'd like?" I offered politely, he looked around and smiled again.
"That would be great, thank you," I started off towards the cafeteria questions brewing in my head.
"So where did you transfer from?" I asked curiously, the whole while he kept his full attention on me.
"Just from Chicago, but before that England, as you can probably tell by my accent, I travel a lot," He smiled softly at me.
"oh that's so cool, I've always wanted to go to England, what's it like?" I asked curiously again.
"Cold," he said finally, ending that topic of conversation as we approached the cafeteria.
we quickly got food and continued to make conversation until we walked outside and met the group of Stefan, Bonnie, Elena and Jeremy at a nearby table, they
smiled up at me as I walked over but had a quizzical look as to who the stranger was beside me.
"Guys this is Klaus, He's new here, he just transferred in from Chicago," I said quickly taking a seat next to Jeremy and leaving a space for Klaus next to me.
The whole table fell silent and Elena choked on a piece of sandwich she'd been eating, Stefan had a hard look to his face and he was staring rigidly at Klaus, Bonnie just Sat in fear and Jeremy and I were confused by everyone else's silence and reactions.
"Sorry about them, they don't get out much," I joked to Klaus, his eyes light up amused at my joke.
"That's Bonnie, Elena, My brother Stefan and Jeremy," I pointed to each of the people seated at the table but they all remained glued to the spot in fear or silence.
"It's a…pleasure to meet you all," Klaus purred again with his accent.
I looked around the table and everyone still hadn't moved.
"Ah guys your kinda being rude," I managed to say quietly, looking around at them and then back at Klaus.
"Oh no, really love its fine, I think its just because I'm one of the Originals, a very old family of vampires, that and I'm hunting down Elena to be my sacrifice, to break an ancient curse," He purred again looking at me as he opened his can of coke and took a sip, I sat glued to my spot, realization had finally hit me, he was a vampire. After Elena. A very very bad Vampire. He pulled a face as he took another sip.
"They haven't changed the taste much, just added more sugar, ghastly stuff it is," he looked at the table again.
"Now now children, I'm just here for a little friendly conversation, no need to worry. Yet." He finished.
"Leave, Now," Stefan finally managed out growling.
"I don't think so Mr. Salvatore, I'm just starting to like it here and besides if you try anything, I'll break your little sisters neck," he stared amused from Stefan to myself.
"Such a shame really, she's quite entertaining, I can see why you and Damon keep her around," he said stroking my cheek, softly I flinched back.
"Touch her again and you're dead," Jeremy growled trying to put an arm around me and pull me away from Klaus.
"Oh how cute, I think somebody has a crush on you sweetheart," Klaus said motioning to Jeremy.
"I'm not going to tell you again, LEAVE" Stefan growled one last time, Klaus's expression became dark and angry.
"You do not speak to me like the young Vampire, I am a lot older then you, you will respect me and I will do what I want," he commanded back, slamming a hand down on the table, everyone flinched, after looking around the table his eyes came to land back on me.
"Now I just came to inform you, I'm staying for a while and you will stay out of my way and let me do what I came to do," he said eyes narrowing in on Stefan, Stefan's face became blank for a second and he nodded.
"Yes Master Klaus," I was shocked.
"Stefan what the hell!" I cried out about to reach across the table, Elena shook her head at me just as Klaus's arm came to rest on my shoulder holding me in place.
"Don't worry little one, I've just compelled him is all, he's not being a traitor," he informed me, I tried to shrug his hand off my shoulder but as I did his grip became tighter.
"Let me go," I growled at him, trying to bring my other hand up to punch him or do something, He had a amused expression on his face again.
"I like this one, I think I'll keep her," He smiled across the table at the others.
"Like hell you will," Jeremy began to fly at Klaus from next to me but Klaus stopped him quickly.
"Touch me and I will snap your neck like a twig," he said like an order.
"If..if, I go with you, will you leave them alone," I tried the question quickly, he contemplated it for a second and then nodded.
"Very well then love, I think that is a deal," He smiled at me again, everyone at the table tried to protest but as soon as Klaus turned to them again they stopped, his eyes fell on all of them, one by one he compelled them.
"You will sit at this table as if nothing has happened and you will not leave until the bell has rung," they all nodded in response and I looked at them sadley, what was I going to do, Klaus slowly rose from his seat and held out a hand to me waiting for me to take it, I looked at them all one last time and then slipped it into his grip, slowly but surely he pulled me away from my friends, and away from the life I was about soon to forget.
