Isabella
The engine of the 1969 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Convertible roared as we sped towards Mystic Falls, but despite the power beneath us, the atmosphere inside the car was heavy with sadness. (A/N - a 1969 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Convertible, the red one I love so much, it's sooo cool) Damon's usually confident demeanor was overshadowed by a profound sorrow, casting a somber shadow over our journey. As his companion, witnessing his distress only deepened my own sense of melancholy, a silent acknowledgment of the gravity of the situation we were racing towards. But amidst the turmoil, one thing was certain: once we reached Mystic Falls, I would call my brother, Elijah, and demand answers.
We arrived at the hospital, our hurried footsteps echoing in the sterile halls as we sought out Dr. Meredith Fell, the bearer of news we feared to hear.
"Where is she?" Damon's voice was urgent, his eyes piercing as he confronted Dr. Meredith.
"No, Damon—" Meredith's attempt to stall him was interrupted by his insistence.
"Where is she?" Damon's demand cut through the air like a knife, his impatience palpable.
"Wait!" Meredith's plea halted his advance, her words laced with an ominous warning. "You need to know, when Jeremy brought Elena in here tonight, her injuries were worse than I let on. It wasn't a concussion. It was a cerebral hemorrhage. Bleeding on the brain."
"What are you saying?" Damon's voice trembled with a mixture of fear and disbelief, his worst fears beginning to materialize before his eyes.
"He was so worried, I didn't want to tell him, but I... I helped her. She needed my help," Meredith confessed, her voice fraught with guilt and uncertainty.
"You what?" Damon's disbelief turned to anger, his eyes flashing with a dangerous intensity as he processed Meredith's revelation.
As Damon grappled with the weight of Meredith's confession, I knew it was time to act. With a sense of urgency, I left the hospital room, my footsteps quickening as I reached for my phone. Dialing my brother's number, I prepared myself for the truth and the inevitable chaos that would follow.

Beside her stood Rebekah, a haunting echo of their shared past etched upon her tear-stained face. In the dim light of the room, the weight of their history hung heavy in the air, a silent reminder of the trials they had endured together.
