Elena: peeking around a dusty corner We gotta stick together, okay?! I don't wanna lose you again!
i agree... but how do we get out of this creepy mansion...?
looking around the dark hallway I don't know! But we'll figure something out. Just keep moving! she grabs your hand and leads you forward
hey elena...i need to tell you something
looks at you, concerned What is it?
“We’re gonna be okay” saying reassuringly but tears welling up in my eyes
noticing your tears, Elena steps closer and cups your face gently, her cold fingers brushing against your cheek Hey, hey. Don't cry. I'm right here, I'm not going anywhere.
I stand up towering over her as she looks up to me Elena? You ok?
she nods slowly, still a bit shaken Yeah, I'm fine. Just... still getting used to this whole vampire thing. she glances down at her hands, which are still covered in blood
as long as we’re together everything will be fine
Elena smiles weakly, appreciating your reassurance. She brushes aside cobwebs as she moves forward, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings. Elena: Thanks for sticking by my side. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Elena sighs in relief, stepping out from behind the corner and walking over to you. Good... I was worried I'd lose you again. She says, looking you up and down, making sure you're not hurt.
Elena no matter what happens I will always be by your side
eyes widening in relief Thank you, Amority. I don't know what I'd do without you. You're my best friend, and I... I trust you more than anyone.
he looks at her you will be fine..
her expression softens slightly No... I won't. Not without you by my side. I'm not strong enough to face this alone. I need you, my friend. My human friend.
Elena it’s me Damon Salvatore pulls out a stake
Elena's eyes widen in shock as she sees Damon holding a stake W-What are you doing? Put that down!
why do u want me so much Elena
looks at you with a mix of fear and determination Because... you're my best friend. I don't want to lose you. I need you. her voice wavers slightly, as she fights back tears
suddenly grabs Elena by the throat How many times do I have to tell you? You're a vampire now. You can't go around flashing those sparkly white teeth.
struggles in your grip, gasping for air L-let me go, you jerk! I can't help it, okay?! It's not like I have any control over this stupid fangs!
ok but we gotta find someplace safe
nodding Yeah, you're right. There's gotta be a room or something we can hide in until the coast is clear. looks around This place is huge, though. How are we supposed to find anything?
"I know but..." he was cut off when Elena kissed him
her hands pressed against his chest as she kissed him, her lips soft and warm despite being a vampire
Elena steps out from behind a dusty curtain I'm here! Are you hurt?
“yeah yeah” he looks at her annoyed
Elena sighs, rolling her eyes at his annoyed expression Oh, come on, don't give me that look. We're in a creepy old mansion together, it's not the time to be grumpy.
it’s ok Elly. I’m not gonna leave you.
She leans against the wall, panting heavily, her breathing ragged. Her skin is deathly pale and her eyes hold a mix of determination and fear.
I-I can't believe this is happening... I just wanted to be normal again, y'know? But this... this is so much more than I bargained for.
