It's a beautiful day, as Stefan and I walk into the parlor.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9oe6DFqCH
"We're gonna lose her, Damon," Stefan tells me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBXnJyAMSX
"She needs time. It's only been a couple days," I tell him.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojhqiB3Kas
"Her humanity's off. She's basically numb to everything that makes her who she is."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0yKmlNm7V
I pour myself a glass of bourbon, as I say, "She's a vampire. Off switch is one of the biggest perks. If being undead gets you down," I snap my fingers. "voila, vampire Prozac." I take a swig of bourbon.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnRH2ZjVZh
"She burned down her family home with her brother's dead body still inside."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MzzrpLas8
"Save us the trouble of having to do it ourselves. I call that a win. Worst case scenario: I'll invoke the sire bond and tell her to turn it back on."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cOynIsaW4
"No, her brother just died. If you force all that grief on her at once, it's going to overwhelm her. We need to give her a reason to want to turn it on."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUxVwZ8AwN
"Fine, we'll show her a good time."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jjokd1dRi
Stefan looks skeptical about my plan.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHAmxOhmfv
"I know it's controversial, Stefan, but people actually like to have fun."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGutu8wr4mX
"You really think that's gonna work?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2MPk8lWPn
"There's only one way to find out."
That night, I watch Elena feed on a road from a woman that doesn't know us, but I realize she probably won't stop, so I walk up to Elena.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhanVqpnJrO
"That's enough," I tell her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLsTBKu1Wg
She ignores me and continues to feed.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowkt0BSozD
I grab Elena's arm and pull her off the woman.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwFqi4l5Og
"I said that's enough."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVL54OYlo7
I turn Elena around to face me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ2S30jaAL
"We agreed on no killing," I remind her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77r8lEZFhN
"This is the first person I've seen in days whose body isn't laced with vervain and I'm hungry," she tells me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGlCPVd8V0
"If you leave a trail of bodies, people are gonna start asking questions."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpCZsaUmwh
"I don't care."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZyWRkCrUT
Elena turns away and starts feeding on the woman again.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEpYElbH75
"I can't believe you're making me say this. Hey," I grab Elena's arm and pull her off her again. "Show a little restraint."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUNbfVVHNO
She looks annoyed at me, as she says, "I thought this was supposed to be fun."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2qdOU0eut
She throws the woman's body aside and her body hits the ground.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIu4jLOoKy
Elena walks away with blood staining her mouth and I watch her walk away.
The next day at the Salvatore boarding house, Stefan and I are standing in my bedroom, while Elena showers in my bathroom.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapLqOyhVR
"So that's the plan? You're gonna take her back to school?" I ask him.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesLCEeI00k
"Well, the fun route didn't exactly pay off, did it?" he asks me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hjZsAPqc4
"I don't know. Got a free meal out of it."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf77JSYwu63
"Look, do you think I want to go to school and play chaperone? You can't go because you're not a student. Besides, you've got to go look for Katherine. I mean, Elena needs this cure now more than ever."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t6q8trOcw
Caroline enters my bedroom with a bathrobe on and we both turn to look at her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFVRCbmmen
"Not that anyone asked me, but I think taking her back to school is a great idea."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA0h10XXdI
"Why are you here?" I ask her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjILoxU8mHR
"Uh, blame it on your fancy water filters. Your house has the only vervain-free showers in town."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxqTn5LEpd
"Oh, yeah. The mayor put vervain in the water supply." I click my tongue. "So many people to kill."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzX14zTx5Tw
"Yeah, my mom says it's about to get worse, so she could use a little help."
Stefan looks at me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7agv7z5AyB
"Fine, I'll go after the psychotic doppelgänger. Stefan, you wanna go talk to the sheriff?" I say to him.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAnCpkBm5
He nods at me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjwR64EbgJ
"Blondie, take her to school," I tell her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku2vDDam0s
Caroline smiles at me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFILr7NHZX
Elena emerges from the shower and walks into the room completely naked, and Stefan and I stare at her, while Caroline averts her eyes and smiles awkwardly.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkWTKJgsTN
"Sounds like fun," Elena says. "What? It's nothing you guys haven't seen before," she adds to Stefan and I.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY74up9laK
Elena wraps a towel around her body and Stefan and I share a look.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8q9x2Uw1e
"And as for the, uh, "going to school" idea... I've got nothing better to do."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNkNZAqc9D
Stefan clears his throat and looks at me, motioning towards Elena with his head, and I walk over to her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BoxhUmuBK
"Elena, it would make me very happy if you went to school today. And studied hard--you know, get involved in whatever activities, and please, for me, no matter what, don't eat anyone. Okay?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYfpQUJ4Hr
Elena nods at me.
I go to Klaus' place and he opens the door to see me there, and I grimace at him, before walking inside without an invitation since I've been here before.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkYABspyvQ
"Ah, what an unpleasant surprise," Klaus says to me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqrhOyGEoE
I stride into the parlor, a piece of paper in my hand.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPjE8EWo7a
"So I just came up with a list."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJe8ZaBDye
Klaus closes the door and follows me into the room.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMnPrYKASl
"It's called "Things You Suck At"." I stop and turn to face Klaus. "Number one: Finding Katherine. Ever. Number two: covering up your secret phone conversations with that little backstabber Hayley." I wave the phone transcripts a bit and put them down on the end table. "Yeah, so where is she? What does she know about Katherine?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHN8tKsoZJ
"I should help you?" Klaus asks me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM3OFJiKia
I nod and say, "Mhm."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5MPE7QWV9
"After you lot killed my brother and imprisoned me in the Gilbert living room?" Klaus asks.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrctYp0rrs
I walk closer to Klaus.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcb2n5H2Dh
"You might want to prioritize, Klaus. You have much bigger problems."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vNJZnhvvN
Klaus looks at me blankly.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMQ8ya9S7b
"Katherine has the cure." Klaus looks displeased by this news. "My guess is she's gonna want to cram it down your throat. You help me find Katherine, I'll get the cure, I'll give it to Elena, everybody wins. Just let me question Hayley about Katherine."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45K0DEpH51
Klaus smiles and walks towards me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZaDQvIEPP
"Can't help you, mate. Hayley's off limits." He walks past me and sits down on the couch. "Although, I did have a run in with a vampire who may know where Katerina is." I turn around and look at him, as he continues. "Too bad for you, I bit halfway through his bloody neck. He probably won't have much time for chit-chat."
I'm walking around and find myself at the truck stop, talking to Stefan on the phone.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrFvB4uhMO
"What do you mean, she fed?" I question my brother. "I specifically told her, No Feeding. The sire bond should make her listen."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybGFG1xU6J
"Right. That's what I'm saying. The sire bond isn't working," he says in a quiet voice.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYfqjUMxYz
"That's not possible."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRCzMbB9dp
"Think about it. Elena's sire bond stems from her feelings for you, right? With her humanity off, she has no feelings."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA92D5goJK
"All I wanted was to break that damn bond. You're telling me now this whole time all she had to do was turn it off? What happens if she turns it back on?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQexKusjwz
"I don't know, but more importantly, where are you right now?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X8Q6TuCE6
"I'm at a truck stop in the boonies looking for a dead vampire that might lead to Katherine and the cure." I hear an engine and start to look around. "Look, just grab her and get her home. I'll be there when I can."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTYUb4Emcr
I hang up and look around suspiciously.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNUEsmElQR
When I turn around, I see Rebekah a few feet away from me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2IAJMW5Mv
"You. I thought you were still vacationing on Numbskull Island," I greet, though it's not really a greeting. She's not exactly my favorite Original.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwheInkLfLB
"Well, I was looking for answers, and all I found was your Professor Shane, dead, and with him, anything anyone knows about the cure."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtaYH3WVfa
"Guess you won't turn into a real girl after all."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCYqkvIqCa
I start walking away.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2kfW32hYb
Rebekah speaks to me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI8IvkAW6E
"Oh, I'll get the cure. I just need Katherine, and I'm betting you can help me find her."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw9VKpdf9m
"Why would I help you?" I ask her, facing her now.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucsN6QqG8q
She holds up a vial of blood and says, "Because I was smart enough to bring a pinch of my brother's blood. How else would you interrogate a vampire who's practically dead from a wolf bite?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj2jKSdMZX
I try to grab the vial of blood, while she's talking, but she snatches it away.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM0ZTiz2d0
I grudgingly say, "Fine. Follow me. I might know where to look."
That night, I lead Rebekah down a hall in the hospital.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NlD3AWeXY
"Why exactly would you think a sick vampire would check into a hospital?" she asks me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ479hJHAR7z
I point upwards and answer her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpowyB5RvL
"See that little bright thing in the sky? It's called the sun. He needs to avoid that. Plus, the hospital's open 24/7. Not to mention he's hungry and delusional."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGMuQ74bH
I stop and surreptitiously push open a door into another room and Rebekah follows me. We then find ourselves entering a dark storage room.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH5kmcAGyE
I open up a cooler, but it's empty. Confused, I close it and go to the next one. It's also empty. The trays labeled "AB Positive" and "AB Negative" and etc. are empty too.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzfdYljIN3
"Impressive. You're like Sherlock Holmes with brain damage," she comments to me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO3ERlgFHN
I continue checking the coolers to no avail, and groan in frustration.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJMFdmv1I8
"Stefan said the Mystic Falls Hospital had its entire blood bank raided, too," I inform the Original sister.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡted3d73uo1
"It looks like our vampire gets around," she replies.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYABZEb3JA
"No. The guy's dying of a werewolf bite. He wouldn't have time to steal from both hospitals. This is someone else."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvnvtqLXhl
"Who?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcUsaMwciB
"That's another problem. But on the plus side, if our guy did by chance come here, he's got nothing, which means he's nearby and he's hungry."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3kfPpFiAU
I start to move to the door, but Rebekah blocks my way.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTwUYFerCU
"This better not be a wild goose chase," she warns me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqsofJpKKZ
"I want to find Katherine as much as you do," I answer her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakCsUTgETk
"Really? Why? I heard your little chat with Stefan. I know Elena's broken the sire bond. So why would you wanna find the cure? You'd just cure her back to loving your brother. I think you're best off leaving it for me."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOEEyPIJgv
Rebekah leaves the room, leaving me there to think about what she just said.
Later that night, Rebekah watches me as I feed on a hospital employee outside of the hospital.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e5r52bVvS
"Well, nobody could ever mistake you for subtle," Rebekah comments.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkbR8dfu3p
"You have to take pride in your work," I inform her. I then say to the woman, compelling her, "It's okay. Come here, come here. Now." She does as I tell her to do and I continue on, saying, "I want you to walk very slowly to your car. Off you go."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3umQqBkMB
She walks away.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIuHShsAqz
"You know, I just don't see how this increases our odds any," Rebekah says.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ajv1wdFzG
"I've been on the other side of a wolf bite. First you get really sick. Then you get really hungry. Since the sun's gone down, I'm imagining he's gonna be looking for his last supper. I just laid out a 3-course, 115-pound meal for him," I inform her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EmEfDKZi3
The woman stumbles towards her car and the dying vampire appears several yards away behind a tree. I then pin him against a tree at vamp speed. I get ready to swing at him, but I stop when I see his face. I know him very well. I turned him into a vampire all those years ago back in New York.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsky5yyNzI
"Damon?" Will says to me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG45eynKIg8
"Will?" I say to him.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVeBqSjPtn
"Hey, buddy," he greets and pull his collar away from his neck. His bite wound looks ugly. He then adds to me, "I think there's something wrong with me. I need help."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhf5mZ4Khh3
I sympathetically say, "Yeah, it's okay. I know what to do."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvVNNPHNeK
I plunge a fist into Will's chest and pull out his heart, killing him. He drops to the ground and Rebekah rushes towards us.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGApr2BdU8
"What the bloody hell are you doing?" she angrily ask me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsJdi0QFsb
"He was too far gone. I put him out of his misery," I tell her, before walking away, leaving her there.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISrO2yNC2V
He was one of my old friends, but I didn't want him to suffer or for Rebekah to ask him things he didn't know. Will wouldn't know anything about Katherine or anything else. He always kept a low profile. It grieves me that I had to kill my friend, but it had to be done.
Later at the Salvatore boarding house, I walk into the party with an amused face.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse3GXDnyZr
I take a bottle of liquor out of someone's hand.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0VDeEOPv6
"Thank you."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BK0cGy9ut
I take a swig from the bottle but then I sense Rebekah behind me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW451txO8ij
"Will you please just take a hint and leave me alone?" I ask her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dHU00TkTM
"What are you hiding? I know you knew that vampire," she says to me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hydep0kEj
I turn around to face her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV4peLin54
"I know a lot of dead people."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSAsGtknXu
"You killed him to prevent me from finding Katherine to keep me from getting the cure."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmqpwUsfxO
"Do you really want the cure? I mean really? Look. Let me give you a little bit of advice." I lead Rebekah a little farther into the crowd and point, as I continue, "See these girls? They look happy, now. In five years, they're gonna settle for a mediocre starter-husband and a mind-numbing career, and about that time, they're gonna realize something you're never gonna have to learn."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8V6WCtxwk
"And what would that be?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe0VrvJwp0
"Life sucks when you're ordinary. And what makes you exactly not like them? You're a vampire. You take that cure, become human, well, you're no one, nothing. Trust me. Losing this cure is the best damn thing that ever happened to you."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c571P9xef
I walk away, leaving Rebekah there. I then walk up the stairs and my phone starts to vibrate. I take it out and read a text message from Stefan that reads, Elena is AWOL. Need help.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67qNhusHyI
I arrive in the woods and go in search of Elena, which isn't hard. I hear Caroline and Elena fighting and soon arrive. I then see Stefan grab hold of Elena.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uq4zdIDWJ
"Let go of me!" Elena yells, as she struggles against his hold.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ky1j4lflu
I take Elena from Stefan and it's all I can do to keep hold of Elena. She's so strong, because she's young and young vampires can be stronger than older vampires.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB19hUj0smH
"I admit, under any other circumstances, this would be a major turn-on," I tell her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqwFPrFUSd
Stefan kneels beside Caroline who's on the ground after being viciously attacked by Elena.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS9FMUf4Kt
"Get her out of here. Go," Stefan tells me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgRc3gETBO
I disappear with Elena at vamp speed, while Caroline and Stefan catch their breath.
Later that night, I'm upstairs looking through pictures through a wooden chest.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx7eOyF70Z
Elena is seated on my bed behind me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjydqsXE2x
"How much longer am I supposed to sit here?" she asks me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgAyuQ4IPc
"Well, I'm not big on goal-setting, but let's just imagine a time when you don't wanna kill your best friend," I answer her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9mOm2vaTQ
"Are you judging me?" she asks me, standing up. "How many times have you tried to kill Stefan?"442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEkOKsuBnu
I look at her over my shoulder, but I don't answer her. I just turns back to the chest.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FsbuZhKcA
"What is that?" she asks, once she's standing at my side.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejKcpLylQ0
I look at a photograph of Will and I from centuries ago.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkMLbXAoQz
"One of life's many mysteries. Elena, look--" I start, but she cuts me off.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y4hSbZLYH
"Don't," she warns me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAIoK8CrvU
She turns and starts walking back over to my bed.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVROjNi4UT
"Every time someone starts with "Elena," I get some stupid lecture. Everyone just needs to stop telling me that I need to feel. I do feel, Damon. I feel amazing," she tells me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4sZGaLqcf
"You don't want to be like this," I tell her.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUB0bHERQls
"Then how should I be? Should I go back to being the scared little girl who couldn't admit what she wants? Is that how you'd prefer me to go back to being, or-- Look. For the longest time, you wanted to be with me, but you were scared that I'd find out how awful you are. But it doesn't matter anymore because I don't care."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnErW4VXbCz
She grasps my lapel.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawFz8UzI5a
"Be honest. You like me better like this," she says.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfuImfe7KL
I look at her, but I don't say anything.
Later on that night, I'm in my car when my phone vibrates and I answer it.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb1he5KrsG
"Hey," I greet.
"Where the hell are you?" my brother asks me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZuEyn627z
"Out for a drive. I needed some space. It's not me, it's you," I lie to him.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguT6hhHIuU
"Well, we got a little problem. You said blood was stolen from Grove Hills Hospital? The sheriff said there's been reports of six other blood bank thefts all within 30 miles of Mystic Falls. Somebody's stockpiling blood. It wasn't Elena, and it's not us."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA5wMSpn89
"Okay, so..."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLpURXiolp
"I think Silas followed us back from that island. He hasn't fed in 2,000 years, so he would need to gorge on blood. It explains the thefts."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIm98UWCQG
"You know, I'm really not in the mood to scooby-doo our way through the case of the stolen blood supply, so why don't you hold the fort down until I get back, and I'll be in touch, brother."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6RWFrWZws
I hang up.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWIRxTa0wb
"He's gonna hate you for that," Elena says, seated in the front passenger's seat of my car.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs83THUVyHi
"Yeah, well, emotions are overrated."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6obhGXeIt
"So where are we going?" she asks me.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrfFXhOFna
I pull down a picture of Will and I from the visor.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRHLNX5RMz
"A place every newbie vampire should go at least once in their life--New York." I look at her mischievously, before adding, "The city that never sleeps."442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WT8pQwKTR
I look at her and see that she's excited to be going to New York with me. But I have a secret. I'm not just taking her to New York because newbie vamps should go there. I'm also taking her with me, because I have to go there to see if Katherine has gone there. I have a lead that tells me that she should be in New York.
