After class, Elena approached her professor, keeping her voice steady despite her nerves. "Hey, Mr. Riley, do you have a moment?"
Mr. Riley looked up from his desk, noting the seriousness in her expression. "Of course, Ella. What's up?"
Taking a deep breath, she admitted, "I'm not feeling great today. I've been dealing with some stomach issues, and I was wondering if I could head home early."
His eyes softened with concern. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Ella. Of course, go ahead. Your health comes first. Take care of yourself."
Grateful, Elena smiled. "Thanks, Mr. Riley. I'll catch up on anything I miss," she assured him before gathering her things and leaving.
As she stepped into the hallway, a wave of nausea hit her. She quickly pressed her back against the wall for support, bringing a hand to her mouth to suppress the urge to vomit.

Emerging from the school, she hurried through a deserted alley, her steps quickening as dizziness set in. The familiar ache of fatigue weighed her down, reinforcing her decision to leave early.
With a weary sigh, she reached into her bag, fumbling for her phone to call Damon. But before she could dial, movement in the shadows made her freeze.
"Who's there?" she called out, her voice steady despite the adrenaline surging through her veins.
A figure emerged from the darkness, moving with predatory fluidity. Elena's heart pounded as she instinctively reached for the stake tucked into her bag, her training with Alaric kicking in.
The vampire stepped forward, his black-veined face twisting into a wicked grin as his fangs gleamed under the dim light.
Without hesitation, he lunged, but a shimmering barrier flared around Elena, pulsating with a faint blue light. Startled, the vampire recoiled, hissing in frustration.
He clawed at the invisible force, struggling against Bonnie's protective spell. Seizing the moment, Elena grabbed the vial of vervain from her bag and splashed it across his face. He howled in pain as his skin sizzled, but recovered quickly, lunging again with renewed fury.
Gritting her teeth, Elena fought to keep him at bay. Despite her training, his strength and speed were overwhelming, pushing her to her limits.
