My eyes open weakly. A dark room, a fan spinning in the corner with an odd smell I recognise to well. Vervain. The fan spun in front of the herb, spreading the sent around the room. Weakening me.
I let out a croaky cough as I try stand up towards the door. The room looked unfamiliar. I knew I was still in the manor but the surrounding were unfamiliar. The door looked like a hard dark wood with only a small square hole, blocked with metal bars.
I pull myself up towards the door and grab ahold of the metal bars. I shake the door vigorously, in hope it would fall if it's hinges. But I was too weak. I let out another cough but this time it was weaker then before. I looked over towards the vervain and back at the door. I shamed the door again but this time with more force and energy.
"Hello!" I shout in hope someone will let me out.
No answer.
I curse under my breath as I look at my hands. The colour of my skin as dimmed. I wasn't the tanned skin I normally looked like.
"Hello!" I called again.
No answer.
"Anyone?" I shout using as much energy as I could.
There was a small noise of someone unlocking the door above and then foot steps hurrying down the stairs.
"Oh, you don't look too good." A blond headed boy says.
My eyes were barely focusing on who was on the other side of the door. I noticed their white, curtained hair and their slender, tall figure. I stint trying to make out who was there.
"It's me. Draco."
I huff as I step away from the door and turn the other way. I take one more heavy step away but I feel the floor getting closer towards me. My knee buckles as I fall onto the floor. I let out a fragile groan as I hear a gasp towards the door.
"Your humanity is off. You are numb to everything that makes you who you are." Draco submits.
I turn on the floor as I look up towards Draco. I furrow my eyebrows as he looks horror struck. "I am part vampire an off-switch is one of the biggest perks." I reply thinly.
"You killed some, Lilith." Draco pauses as he eyes me up and down on the floor. "You killed them. In front of me."
I let out a snicker as I push myself off the floor. I felt weaker then before, I felt like I was dying. It was strange, I never felt like this before.
I approach the wooden door slowly as I grab on hold of the metal bars once again. I lean in closer towards the metal, I watch Draco's face carefully. His lip quivered as he stared blankly. "Would you have preferred I killed in instead?" I interrogate.
Draco doesn't answer but his facial expressions does. His eyes widened as they glazed over with panic and misery along side with the sad glumness of his eyes there was a glimpse of hope.
"Would you?" I questioned intelligently.
He looks down at the floor and shakes his head slowly. His head rises back up as he looks at my pale, dead face.
"Get me out of here." I cough.
No reply.
"Draco. Get. Me. Out. Of. Here." I repeat myself.
No reply.
I shake the bars forcefully. "Get me out! Get the keys and open the door."
"I- I can't." Draco trembles.
There was one thing I learnt about Draco was he would never disappoints is father. Not because he agreed with him, but because he was scared of him.
"Lilith," Draco begins shakily. "I miss the old you, more then I can put into words. But I know as long as you have your switch off I can't be with you. You're dangerous. I will continue to work on the cabinets until you become yourself."
I stare at him coolly. Resting on the door handle in hope I don't collapse on the floor again. The smell in the room gets stronger as a new batch of vervain gets pumped in. I needed blood to regain my strength.
"Come closer." I advise.
Draco moves closer to the door hesitantly. I could hear his heart beat get faster as he got nearer. His hands were shaking as he held his wrist, struggling to keep his hands still.
In one sudden move, I slip my hand through the bar of the door as pull his arm closer to me. He lets out a small weep as the veins appear underneath my eyes. I pull his arm through the bars of the door and dig my teeth into is skin, something I desired for a while. I felt my strength grow the more I drank of his blood. I feel his arm sway away from me as my body get forced back into the wall, hitting my back and collapsing onto the dirty floor.
I hear small panting from Draco on the other side of the door. I lick around my lips as I get rid of the remaining blood. Standing up was easier then before but I could still feel the vervain hit me. As I got closer towards the door I notice Draco wasn't alone anymore.
My father stood next to him. His eyebrows furrowed as his lips frowned. "I may not like the young Malfoy boy but killing him is past the line, Lilith."
"I think I passed the line a long time ago. Don't you think?" I provoke.
"You will regret this. All of this." My father mentions.
I scoff as I roll my eyes. "I think I'll be fine." I look over towards Draco, who was shaking more then the first meeting with you-know-who. My eyes quickly change positions of my eyes sway towards Draco's arm. It was dripping of blood from the forearm down, I let out a sinister laugh as he stared at me blankly. "To scared to speak?" I rudely ask.
"Lilith!" My father shouts.
"What?"
"You will no longer be allowed to see the Malfoy boy." My fathers says.
I let out a scoff and a cough at the same time. I notice Draco's face drops as he looks up towards my father. Draco's blood didn't keep my strong for long as I put my back onto the door and slid down it dramatically.
Draco POV
I didn't know what hurt more. Lilith feeding on my arm or that I am no longer allowed to see her. Either way, I will get her back. Back to her old self.
Lilith was no longer in site through the door. You could only hear her weak coughs from behind the door, I hated that she was in pain but she caused pain on others more then herself.
"What we going to do?" I whisper towards klaus.
"I can still hear you!" Lilith moaned.
Klaus rolled his eyes and made his way up the stairs and shut the door behind him. He didn't like me. It was worrying, I wouldn't call me and Lilith 'girl friend' and 'boy friend' right now but her father doesn't like me. I wasn't too surprised, I don't like me either.
I let out a huff as I hurried to my room. I ran over towards my desk which I don't think I have sat on since I was in 3rd year. I grabbed a peace of plain paper and quill and placed it in front of me. I sit there staring at the blank paper with my head in my hands. How could I get Lilith's humanity back on I thought to myself.
There was whispering coming from outside my door, sounds of Lilith father and mother arguing. I rush over towards the door and rest my ear against the heard frame.
"No!" Caroline shouts towards klaus.
"It's our only hope!" Klaus replies. I could hear his anger through his tone.
"No. It's too much of a risk." Everything goes silent as I only hear my heavy breathing.
"Didn't Damon Salvatore kill Matt Donovan once?" Klaus speaks low.
"Only once?" Caroline joked. It was the first time I heard her laugh, it was sweet and innocent.
"Didn't Damon kill Matt to get Elena Gilbert's humanity back on?"
"Yeah..." Caroline replied questioningly.
"Well that's how we can get Lilith back." Klaus explains.
My eyes widen as I lean in closer toward the door. My heart felt warm thinking of the fact of Lilith being herself again, but on the other hand I felt a pool of worry build up into my stomach.
"Seriously? No. You're not killing anyone to get her humanity back." Caroline demands.
My heart feels like it comes to a stop. I pull away from the door as I think to myself. There has to be another way to get Lilith back without anymore deaths.
"Don't worry, love. I got a plan." Klaus reassures her.
A/N- I came up with another book idea yesterday and I'm debating whether to start writing now or wait till I finish this book.
