Nyra's POV
_____________

"Nyra? Wake up! Nyra!"

"Yo." I opened my eyes. "What's up?"

"What's up? You've been out cold for 10 minutes, that's what's up." Elena said angrily.

"I passed out! Don't get angry with me!" I sat up and noticed Damon was no longer here. "Where's Damon?"

"We sent him away."

"Why?"

"Do you not remember what he did?"

"Yeah, I do."

"You're not mad?" Elena questioned me. I shrugged. "How can you not be mad?"

"He did what he thought would keep me alive." I answered.

"How can you be ok with this? He has practically turned you himself." She snapped at me.

"I didn't force him to feed me his blood, don't get pissy at me!"

"I think the blood has done something to her, Stefan."

"I'm fine!" I stressed to her. "Would you prefer me sobbing on the ground right now?"

"Yes!"

"Wow. You're a bad twin." I rubbed my soar butt and stood up. "Do you know where Damon is?"

"I can't believe you." Elena shook her head.

"Would you be acting this way if it was Stefan?" I asked her.

"Of course I would! It is suppose to be our choice!"

"Who chooses to be a vampire, Elena? Damon and Stefan didn't, Caroline didn't! He did it because he was willing to do anything to stop be from dying."

She still shook her head in disapproval. I could see that I was never going to get through to her.

I went downstairs, but stopped when I heard Elijah's voice. "Sounds like you won't be needing this anymore." Was he talking to me? "Feeding her vampire blood rendered it useless." He was talking to Damon. I stopped on the stairs so I could listen. If I became a vampire....that means....hot vampire/hybrid sex with Elijah!. "Tell the girls I'll be back before nightfall. We'll proceed as planned."

"We both know that elixir wouldn't have worked, anyway." I heard Damon say to him.

"Your problem, Damon, you talk a good game, but you don't actually know anything." I leaned against the wall and continued to listen in. "She'll never forgive you. And never for a vampire....it's a very long time."

"I've got it." I got snapped out of my eaves dropping by Jenna holding a blood bag. I nodded and followed her up the stairs to give it to Stefan.

"Thank you." Stefan told her. "Both of you."

"Yeah. Well, we'll be downstairs." Alaric replied and guided Jenna out the room.

"I know it's, uh, it's a lot to take in, Adnyra." Stefan said to me.

Here we go again.

At least he wasn't giving me a lecture like somebody was, cough Elena, cough.

"How could he do that to her? Why?" Elena hissed, she looked at me and then back at Stefan. "I want you to feed me your blood."

"What?" Stefan said.

"What the hell?"

"I'm not going to let her go through this alone, Stefan."

"Elena." I said sharply, "You really don't have to do this, I'm fine!"

"You're in denial."

"I know what I feel, Elena! I am FINE!" I was beginning to sound like Ross. "Don't do it!"

"I've made my mind up."

"Change it back!"

"No."

"Elena." I shook my head. "This decisions on you, not me." I said and walked out of the room.

Why did my sister insist on being the hero all the bloody time?

When I went back downstairs, Damon had gone, I actually wanted to talk to him.

"Stefan is taking Elena out for the day." Jenna told me.

I nodded, "Jenna?"

"Mm?"

"Would you spend my last potential human day with me?"

"Really?"

I smiled and nodded, "I don't think there's anyone else I would want to spend it with."

"What about Elena?"

"Elena is on my hit list right now."

She smiled and sat down next to me. "Ok, what do you want to do?"

"Shopping and then watch Fast and the Furious." I grinned at her.

"I should have guessed. I'll go get my jacket."

"I want to make a quick stop first." I called after her.

I was happy that if this were my last day as a human, I would be spending it with Jenna. I wish I could spend it with my parents and Allison but I wouldn't have enough time with them. Elena was right, I guess I was a little in denial, but only because it didn't seem real. I didn't feel any different, I didn't even feel that sense of dread. It was going to happen tonight and I couldn't see it happening. I reckon I've blocked out the idea so when I do think of it, it's just not real. "Ready?" I asked Jenna, she nodded and we went out to the car.

"So where are we stopping?" She asked me.

"At the grill."

"To see Damon?" I nodded. "How do you know he will be there?"

"He always goes there to sulk." I smiled to myself.

"Is it true what you told Elena? Are you really not blaming him?"

"I take it she's complained about that?"

"She's just worried about you." Jenna told me.

"It brings out a really annoying side of her." I replied. "Yes, I'm mad at Damon, I just didn't want to tell her that because it annoyed me how much they were angry with him."

"Yes, because that makes sense." She chuckled.

"I'm mad because he took that choice away from me instead of listening to me, but will I be mad forever? No." I shook my head, "His intentions were good and I can't stay mad for him wanting to save me."

"What are you going to say to him?"

"I have no idea." It wasn't a long journey, before we reached the grill. "Wish me luck." I told her.

"I'll wait here."

I nodded and walked into the grill. Straight away I saw Damon at his usual spot, the bar. I took a deep breath and headed over there. He was sitting with Alaric, who spotted me first, he nudged Damon and he turned around, standing up straight as he saw me. "Hi." He said softly.

"Hi." I replied in the same tone. Alaric turned back to the bar and pretended he wasn't listening. I moved to the other side of Damon and leaned on the bar.

"Nyra, I screwed up, I-"

"It's ok." I cut him off. "Despite what everyone is probably telling you, I don't hate you. Far from it actually."

"Good. I don't think I could stand you hating me."

"Why so glum?"

Oh for the love of god.

I knew who that voice belonged to straight away, how could I forget it? I turned to my right to see Klaus staring down at me.

"Damon-" My hand went to his chest, he looked down at me and realisation hit him as soon as he looked at me.

He groaned and hung his head down, "Klaus, I presume."

"In the flesh." He replied, "Thanks for the loaner, mate." He said to Alaric.

"Any reason you stopped by to say hi?" Damon arm wrapped around the front of me as he pulled me against his chest as if to show Klaus that I was his.

"I have my reasons." Klaus replied, before focusing back onto me. "Adnyra love, I was hoping I'd run into you before tonight."

"She's not your love."

"Oh, yes. I heard that you and your brother fancied each of my doppelgangers." He responded in a bored tone. "Just thought I'd remind you not to try anything you'll regret."

Damon let out a laugh before his face scrunched up, "Thanks for the advice." I felt sandwiched in by the two men. My back was pressed against Damon's chest and my front was pressed against Klaus's chest. "I don't suppose I could talk you into a postponement by any chance, huh?"

Klaus responded with a low chuckle, "You are kidding. He is kidding, right?" His eyes flickered to Alaric.

"I mean, what's one month in the grand scheme of things?"

"Let me be clear." I had to actually lean back as Klaus took a step closer. "I have my vampire. I have my werewolf. I have everything I need. The ritual will happen tonight." His eyes glanced down at me. "I only need one of them dead and the other-"

"Will become your trophy?" Alaric finished.

"Filled them all in, have you sweet heart?"

"Just a tad."

"She's mine."

"Do you really think some silly claim by you means anything to me?" Klaus asked Damon. "If you want to live to see tomorrow, I suggest you don't get in my way." He sent a menacing glare to Damon to show that he means business, before looking back down at me. "See you tonight, love."

I released a breath I didn't realise I had been holding when he left my sight. "I have to go see if Jenna is ok." I told them and quickly headed towards the car.

Jenna was fine, much to my relief. "So, did you see him?"

"Oh yes."

"And?"

"And I got as far as telling him that I didn't hate him, but then Klaus appeared."

"He didn't do anything?"

"Just made verbal threats." I sighed, "Let's just get out of here, I don't want to think about it." I told her and we drove off to the mall.

"We haven't had a shopping trip in too long, it's just a shame we are doing it under these circumstances." Jenna sighed.

"I know."

We went to a few of our favourites stores. "I'm going to go try this on." Jenna told me.

"Ok, I'll be here, somewhere." I told her, she nodded and headed into one of the dressing rooms. I ended up in the lingerie section. I decided I was going to be one of those sexy vampires! Wow, that sounded a lot cooler before. I chuckled to myself as I saw some of the stuff on sale, I'd feel so stupid in half of these.

"You should get used to these." I froze.

"Are you following me now?" I said, without turning my head. I tried to remain calm and not to cause a scene, I didn't need anyone getting hurt.

"Merely just keeping an eye on you."

"Is that what you call it?"

"I quite like this." Klaus picked up a red skimpy set and held it up against me. "It's my favourite colour after all. What do you think?"

"I think, I will never wear it, especially not for you." I pushed it away from me. "Let's get one thing straight, I will never be yours."

"I never gave you a choice." He placed it back on its rack.

"Do you really think some silly claim by you means anything to me?" I mocked what he said to Damon earlier.

"You can either accept it or resist. Either way, you will be mine."

"The hell I am!" I growled. "I'm not going to stop fighting you."

"I know and what a shame that would be, after all I have planned for us." I pulled a disgusted face. I tried to turn away, but he was there when I turned.

"You can't do that here." I hissed at him.

"I've compelled everyone in the shop, I can do whatever I want."

I take it that's his motto.

"Jenna will be back any minute now, you need to leave."

"Make me." I wanted to smack the smile off his face.

"You are taking everything away from me tonight, the least you can do is give me this." He didn't move and his eyes continued to linger over me. "Why can't you pick someone else to be your trophy?

"I fancy you." I scoffed at his response. "Is that so hard to believe?"

"Err yes."

"Why?"

"Because-" I didn't even know how to answer that.

"You're beautiful, you're strong, you're full of light. I enjoy you and I can't wait to properly enjoy you."

"I'd rather die."

"I'm afraid that's not an option."

"I'm with someone, anyway." I muttered a lie, trying to get him to back up as I continued to pretend I was interested in the rack of clothes I was looking for. I was just thankful Jenna was taking so long to get ready.

"Doesn't he have a pet of his own? So I hear."

"uh-"

"Then you're not spoken for."

"Whether I am or not doesn't mean I'd ever be yours." I shot at him.

"The more you fight it, the more I desire you." His finger brushed down the side of my body. For the side of my breast to my hip. I connected his eyes with mine and just tried to stare him down.

"You don't even know me."

"I know you more than you think." I stared at him in confusion. "I'll see you tonight."

"Don't make anymore random appearances until then, ok?"

He chuckled to himself, oh crap, that wasn't suppose to make him laugh! "Nyra-" I turned my head to see Jenna, when I turned it back, Klaus was thankfully gone.

"Hey, are you going to get it?"

"Are you ok? You seem a little shaky."

"I'm fine. Just fine."

"Friends déjà vu."

"Really....I'm fine." I said that in a low tone. "Are you buying it?"

"I am indeed."

"Good. Let's get it and get the hell out of here."

"What's the rush?"

"I am just extremely excited to watch Fast and the Furious."

"You've probably watched it a million times!"

"And it never gets old." I chuckled nervously as I looked around for any signs of Klaus. I wanted to get Jenna back to the boarding house so we were out of his sight.

I just wanted to enjoy my last day as a regular doppelgänger werewolf, alive or potentially without the label of pet.

Hopefully this time tomorrow, Klaus will be dead and I will be free to enjoy the rest of my life as a werewolf.

A girl can dream, can't she?
