"Klaus! Come on, my love, try to catch me!" hollered Sonya cheerfully.
She gathered her skirts in her hands and began to run through a field of crisp green grass that went up to her knees and pink and purple flowers of all kinds.
She ran as fast as her human legs could carry her, but she was far from fast when it came to Klaus and his vampire capabilities, he caught her after a few minutes of just watching her run and pulled her to the ground with him, lying on top of her.
"Caught you." he said with a small smile of triumph.
"That you did my love." replied Sonya with a giggle.
Klaus brushed the long black curls from Sonya's face with the pads of his fingers and pushed them behind her ear, looking into her hazel-green eyes with a ghost of his smile still on his lips.
"Do you love me, Klaus?" asked Sonya, her smile gone and semblance of concern in her eyes.
This caught him completely off guard, the ghost smile slipping from his beautiful face.
"Of course I do, my darling. You are everything to me." he replied.
"But I am just human, you've told you're brother Elijah that falling in love with a human is a vampire's greatest weakness. And I am human and you love me. I do not understand how that works."
"Why do you wish to know, are you having doubts about me?" asked Klaus stiffly.
"Not at all Klaus. I am simply curious as to how it is different." replied Sonya nibbling on her bottom lip.
Klaus lay there, searching her soft hazel-green eyes for one long moment before brushing his lips against hers softly.
"It does not matter how it is different or how it is not. All that matters is that I do love you. I will never make you choose something you do not want, like eternal life, it will always be completely up to you." said Klaus softly, a small smile on his lips.
3 Months Later
Klaus and Elijah were sitting in the study, both reading thick books when a loud crash echoed throughout the house.
Both men simultaneously looked up from their books and tossed them aside before darting up the stairs to where the crash originated.
"I'm so sorry." said Sonya frantically, picking up the shards of glass.
As she was picking up a shard of glass, it sliced into her palm, making a really deep gash into the skin.
Klaus quickly wen to her side, cupping the back of her hand with his palm and helped her to her feet while Elijah finished picking up the glass.
"What happened, Sonya?" asked Klaus while cleaning her wound with a wet cloth.
"I was just coming down to the library to get a book when I felt dizzy and fell. I am so sorry, I know that the vase must have been priceless." said Sonya, avoiding his eyes.
With his free hand, Klaus put it underneath her chin and lifted her face, so he could look her in the eyes.
"It is just a material thing, it has no importance." said Klaus sternly.
"That vase was our mothers," said Elijah angrily, the veins protruding from underneath his eyes. "It is irreplaceable."
"Elijah!" said Klaus darkly.
"Either you kill her now, and rid us of her clumsiness or turn her. But do something now or I'll do it myself." said Elijah, his voice even.
Klaus looked between Sonya and his brother before lunging at him, pinning him to the wall with his hand clamped tightly around his throat.
"You will calm down, brother. She stays as she is until I am ready to make a different decision, is that clear?" asked Klaus quietly enough to where only Elijah could hear him.
"She is getting worse Klaus, clearly you can see that as well as I can." whispered Elijah with some difficulty, Klaus was still cutting off his air supply.
Klaus look back at Sonya and frowned, "She is perfectly fine, brother."
As he turned back to glance at her again she began to cough violently, blood staining the cloth that she pressed to her mouth in an attempt to muffle the coughs.
"See, I'm telling you, Klaus, she is going to die no matter what you choose. And it's going to happen soon, I can just feel it." said Elijah quietly.
Klaus tightened the grip he had on Elijah's throat before releasing him and walked over to Sonya as he fell to the floor, rubbing his neck.
"Sonya, we must talk." said Klaus, placing his hand on her lower back.
"Klaus? Why on Earth are you looking at me like that?" she asked softly.
"I am truly sorry about this, my dear." said Klaus calmly.
"Wha-" before Sonya could finish her question, Klaus bit into his wrist and shoved the bleeding appendage into her mouth.
Sonya choked on his blood before finally giving up and allowing it to slide down her delicate throat. Once Klaus was satisfied that she had had enough, he removed his wrist from her mouth and let it heal.
"Now you wish to kill me, don't you?" asked Sonya, tears rolling down her porcelain cheeks.
"My brother is right, you are sick and it is just getting worse. This way you'll never be sick again and we can be together." said Klaus normally.
Sonya stared at him in disbelief, "You said that it was my choice, and yet you force you're blood down my throat."
"It is still you're choice, Sonya," said Klaus, taking a step towards her while she took a step back. "you can choose to take a life and live forever or don't and die."
Sonya stayed silent as more tears slid down her face before darting down the stairs, out the front door and ran as fast as she could through the woods.
She got as far as the middle of the woods before she ran into something hard, knocking her to the ground, when she looked up she saw that it was Klaus.
"Why are you doing this to me?" she sobbed, covering her face with her hands.
Instead of answering her Klaus growled and pounced on her, eliciting a blood curdling scream from Sonya. With one swift movement, he snapped her neck and watched as she slumped to the ground, dead.
Klaus sat beside her dead body and waited, he didn't care how long he had to wait, he just couldn't leave her in the middle of the woods by herself.
Two days went by and Sonya was still laying in the same spot in the woods, Klaus still sat beside her, his patience beginning to wear thin when she finally stirred and her eyes fluttered opened.
"There you are, my love, I thought you would never awaken." he said with a small smile as her cupped her cheek.
She simply looked at him with confusion before a feral growl erupted from deep in her throat.
"You bastard!" she yelled angrily as she pounced on him. "You sick, sadistic, murderous bastard! How could you!"
Klaus simply flipped them over so that he was now on top of her; "I did it to save you!"
"Save me? You killed me! You said that it would always be my choice, not yours. And you took that choice from me!" she yelled, angry tears streaming down her face. "I hate you for this, Niklaus."
She paused to take deep breaths of the crisp, clean air, before continueing again; "And for your imformation, Klaus, I would have made the choice soon enough. If only you would have given me the chance."
With all the strength she could muster, Sonya flung Klaus off of her and dashed away into the night. Klaus made to follow her but a strong hand on his shoulder stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Give her a little time, brother. She'll come back once she starts to get hungry. She wont be able to hold off on feeding for long." said Elijah calmly.
Klaus nodded once and followed his brother back to their home.
They waited for weeks and Sonya still didn't show up at the castle. After another month went passed the two brothers gave up on waiting for her, thinking her to be dead. But that wasn't the case.
Present: Mystic Falls
"So you didn't go back right away?" asked Alaric re-filling their wine glasses for the fifth time that night.
"Not immediately. I did end up feeding, as you can tell, but I was able to hold of for quite some time. I don't know what it was that kept me alive for weeks without finishing up the transition, but it did. But after a month and a half, I just couldn't hold it off anymore. Since I wasn't dying without it I thought that I might as well drink and see if maybe that would finish me off." replied Sonya pushing away her once again empty glass.
"When did you decide to go back to them?" he asked pushing away his glass as well.
"About a year before they found the doppelganger; Katerina...
"Why did you decide to go back anyways? You hated him for what he did, I'm sure." said Rick with a small smile.
"Oh, I did. More than you could ever imagine..." replied Sonya with a laugh.
"I wanted revenge on Klaus, that's for sure. But I never did seem to get it... Or well, I did get it but many many years after the fact."
A/N: Well there is chapter 12 for you all. It may not be the best chapter I have ever written, but I am proud of it. I thought it would be a good idea to have a flashback thrown in there so you can know better what happened to Sonya.
Please read and review. They really make my day and they do help me write more and update faster.
