It's a beautiful day, as Stefan and I walk into the parlor.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TGPqlaWQj
"We're gonna lose her, Damon," Stefan tells me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv6szk8Rae
"She needs time. It's only been a couple days," I tell him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW0p35PpoJ
"Her humanity's off. She's basically numb to everything that makes her who she is."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSbzws93Ey
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kTD9g5w02
"She burned down her family home with her brother's dead body still inside."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSGmm9OgEw
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ6oIDJeGl
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhXl1LLVXG
"Fine, we'll show her a good time."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwyOHIne1u
Stefan looks skeptical about my plan.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEb3JGKRnL
"I know it's controversial, Stefan, but people actually like to have fun."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zw89QMzM1
"You really think that's gonna work?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXqaycHA4k
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnZSlrPawU
"That's enough," I tell her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaJf3YsHB0
She ignores me and continues to feed.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWLQwMch4r
I grab Elena's arm and pull her off the woman.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzgVTTbP0Z
"I said that's enough."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ybbf5fUAb
I turn Elena around to face me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI8cOKWGqw
"We agreed on no killing," I remind her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkI05Q4ahD
"This is the first person I've seen in days whose body isn't laced with vervain and I'm hungry," she tells me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULTO5ZjGdd
"If you leave a trail of bodies, people are gonna start asking questions."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYGdGE94Nn
"I don't care."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy8TGDaRPE
Elena turns away and starts feeding on the woman again.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJnNsDW9NA
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WgseUEQu0
She looks annoyed at me, as she says, "I thought this was supposed to be fun."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoUqqWlHfm
She throws the woman's body aside and her body hits the ground.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtmUfl71Dh
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3335oH9XNk
"So that's the plan? You're gonna take her back to school?" I ask him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGTmy1JoU8
"Well, the fun route didn't exactly pay off, did it?" he asks me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI2uSlNvU0
"I don't know. Got a free meal out of it."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYecKXRFzRs
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W7pO64w1l
Caroline enters my bedroom with a bathrobe on and we both turn to look at her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn7Yx8K4uQ
"Not that anyone asked me, but I think taking her back to school is a great idea."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVixIgRbB1b
"Why are you here?" I ask her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIutHCHa1vJ
"Uh, blame it on your fancy water filters. Your house has the only vervain-free showers in town."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX4R38QQ2u
"Oh, yeah. The mayor put vervain in the water supply." I click my tongue. "So many people to kill."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqwrGzNWfU
"Yeah, my mom says it's about to get worse, so she could use a little help."
Stefan looks at me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20a4jHtcn6
"Fine, I'll go after the psychotic doppelgänger. Stefan, you wanna go talk to the sheriff?" I say to him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIkKNqJpHk
He nods at me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooeo3TUVsW
"Blondie, take her to school," I tell her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0TgzDTjlA
Caroline smiles at me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RJVKhXmmE
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbS4mBUoT7
"Sounds like fun," Elena says. "What? It's nothing you guys haven't seen before," she adds to Stefan and I.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsKoRq1aQP
Elena wraps a towel around her body and Stefan and I share a look.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12yjjL9lYn
"And as for the, uh, "going to school" idea... I've got nothing better to do."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk9kkzMG3L
Stefan clears his throat and looks at me, motioning towards Elena with his head, and I walk over to her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxlDo0zb2T
"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?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilgp3GWGs6
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIC055J3Nr
"Ah, what an unpleasant surprise," Klaus says to me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb01MJWnnLB
I stride into the parlor, a piece of paper in my hand.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8b9jWvbmo
"So I just came up with a list."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JoTynE7eS
Klaus closes the door and follows me into the room.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W56aRl8He
"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?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tw0W9LWmV
"I should help you?" Klaus asks me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAhk6ZcaYd
I nod and say, "Mhm."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxPqC2wAiE
"After you lot killed my brother and imprisoned me in the Gilbert living room?" Klaus asks.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3FDuHpBYT
I walk closer to Klaus.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1omiummsVE
"You might want to prioritize, Klaus. You have much bigger problems."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzx7haFeg1
Klaus looks at me blankly.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D3UndDtY4
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK42zliVz6
Klaus smiles and walks towards me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN3d0b5ZKO
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNXXRz0gxm
"What do you mean, she fed?" I question my brother. "I specifically told her, No Feeding. The sire bond should make her listen."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCkDMASTTC
"Right. That's what I'm saying. The sire bond isn't working," he says in a quiet voice.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkkn3MZadK
"That's not possible."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMpyGDJvMT
"Think about it. Elena's sire bond stems from her feelings for you, right? With her humanity off, she has no feelings."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHhAdO2En1
"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?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHwvpGqGUU
"I don't know, but more importantly, where are you right now?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIitoL1LSf
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA1ed4ss71
I hang up and look around suspiciously.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtklNNChCFA
When I turn around, I see Rebekah a few feet away from me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlrjIthtca
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wX7PJNmDG
"Well, I was looking for answers, and all I found was your Professor Shane, dead, and with him, anything anyone knows about the cure."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfPjOKnlTu
"Guess you won't turn into a real girl after all."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2CopcmC9i
I start walking away.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQd98oCG7I
Rebekah speaks to me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5m2npyNlR
"Oh, I'll get the cure. I just need Katherine, and I'm betting you can help me find her."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgc9nPyWBo
"Why would I help you?" I ask her, facing her now.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyvqhdYAiO
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?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwuRYOoiY5
I try to grab the vial of blood, while she's talking, but she snatches it away.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0AS8GXM1Y
I grudgingly say, "Fine. Follow me. I might know where to look."
That night, I lead Rebekah down a hall in the hospital.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cXbOjW4SU
"Why exactly would you think a sick vampire would check into a hospital?" she asks me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TsiT80PEc
I point upwards and answer her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUQIvqlGV6
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5x5Uu28tWj
I stop and surreptitiously push open a door into another room and Rebekah follows me. We then find ourselves entering a dark storage room.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gr01wVzCM
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l4PKmqRK9
"Impressive. You're like Sherlock Holmes with brain damage," she comments to me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfsilayunk
I continue checking the coolers to no avail, and groan in frustration.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIQtuAVZcp
"Stefan said the Mystic Falls Hospital had its entire blood bank raided, too," I inform the Original sister.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXgEuCmKqp
"It looks like our vampire gets around," she replies.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrQWKFBldz
"No. The guy's dying of a werewolf bite. He wouldn't have time to steal from both hospitals. This is someone else."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JiF5RgzYg
"Who?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YlZDG9txJ
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRslnyejdSE
I start to move to the door, but Rebekah blocks my way.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yweQ2OrlJ
"This better not be a wild goose chase," she warns me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliy4hNgnt3
"I want to find Katherine as much as you do," I answer her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr2rh2vot7
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP0DH3ggTH
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6dJ1GRCox
"Well, nobody could ever mistake you for subtle," Rebekah comments.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs1QnkYMTx
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fKMWxDXdV
She walks away.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVFTPowYwy
"You know, I just don't see how this increases our odds any," Rebekah says.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjV5of7PqV
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQk9Fygf6Z
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl242J2RnM
"Damon?" Will says to me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RJQzcW5bs
"Will?" I say to him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFihfLDwuwC
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHflBAPBWOH
I sympathetically say, "Yeah, it's okay. I know what to do."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAQWL4r9U
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHkyqk2JE2
"What the bloody hell are you doing?" she angrily ask me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwh3HAA5IU
"He was too far gone. I put him out of his misery," I tell her, before walking away, leaving her there.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmAOx25y2J
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08xQAm017H
I take a bottle of liquor out of someone's hand.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tWsr9H1KN
"Thank you."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWddKIupMi
I take a swig from the bottle but then I sense Rebekah behind me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ4JKwT9fg
"Will you please just take a hint and leave me alone?" I ask her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisEOWX2KJ7
"What are you hiding? I know you knew that vampire," she says to me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjFQQMdfJf
I turn around to face her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTxW7gUZ9z
"I know a lot of dead people."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkbXYOnO4X
"You killed him to prevent me from finding Katherine to keep me from getting the cure."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wmxtnDNCn
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9FYT6MPmx
"And what would that be?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSULvvwH66
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFblpSBDY5
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.
404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzM3jexEaXl
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPwmDY6uBN
"Let go of me!" Elena yells, as she struggles against his hold.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ptXOj0jai
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybyRn85XtX
"I admit, under any other circumstances, this would be a major turn-on," I tell her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8JycU9SQf
Stefan kneels beside Caroline who's on the ground after being viciously attacked by Elena.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU8KS0LJwd
"Get her out of here. Go," Stefan tells me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRQUel1NpE
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiFeHBxlgr
Elena is seated on my bed behind me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2duoKumj2
"How much longer am I supposed to sit here?" she asks me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Hu1hl67b
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKrHmTNeTt
"Are you judging me?" she asks me, standing up. "How many times have you tried to kill Stefan?"404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tn0mzZxkE
I look at her over my shoulder, but I don't answer her. I just turns back to the chest.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntCFdZPgg9
"What is that?" she asks, once she's standing at my side.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWqItGDVQh
I look at a photograph of Will and I from centuries ago.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq7YrStjie
"One of life's many mysteries. Elena, look--" I start, but she cuts me off.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjFZEHP5Ln
"Don't," she warns me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr0DJ7gR23
She turns and starts walking back over to my bed.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfe5mv65Gnm
"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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumqnbRUhiY
"You don't want to be like this," I tell her.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalyD6suBYG
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgHpQznIzT
She grasps my lapel.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNay5oWCpYq
"Be honest. You like me better like this," she says.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtWn4gx8Z0
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.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbs9vrhX25
"Hey," I greet.
"Where the hell are you?" my brother asks me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNGz5lqQW7
"Out for a drive. I needed some space. It's not me, it's you," I lie to him.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYC865GiHq
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0jk4QToVG
"Okay, so..."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnPSmo8HwM
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjS0h8QAp4
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbWo9ojjlk
I hang up.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSrzTD0UNQ
"He's gonna hate you for that," Elena says, seated in the front passenger's seat of my car.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NWlAOqp6S
"Yeah, well, emotions are overrated."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2PHmTokjV
"So where are we going?" she asks me.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsBNz0rjJU
I pull down a picture of Will and I from the visor.404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrUd9hdeYp
"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."404Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81bvrZP6vk
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.
