Darkness Will Fall | Volume 1 : Sacrifice T.O}

Chapter 12: Transition

She wakes up with a start, completely panicked, looking all around her, before she woke up she was just rambling words, incomprehensible things. I take her in my arms to calm her but she breaks away.

Elena: I-I had this dream... I-I have. It was so real, Matt took us away and Rebekah appeared on the road and swerved us onto the bridge.. I saw you flying through the windshield and everything goes blurry. I felt myself leaving...

Talia: Elena... It was real, we had the accident.

Elena: That's not true... And he is Matt?!

Damon: Is he still alive? Ask Stefan is your hero.

Stefan: Don't worry, he's fine.

Elena: Thank you.. For a second I thought I was going to.. How did you do it?

Talia: He didn't stink... When we brought you to the hospital, Meredith lied to us about who you were.
So she made the decision to treat you with Damon's blood.

Damon: Then Rebekah ran you off the road and my blood was still in you.

Elena: Oh my god no, does that mean? I am dead ? No, no it's not possible..

Stefan: We might be able to stop you from mutating thanks to Bonnie.

Damon: No, the only thing that will help is food.

Talia: She has until tonight, in the meantime we'll find another way.

Damon: There's no way! The way to go is feed or die.

Talia: Oh thank you Damon, very elegant, you're not helping us there.

Elena: I was ready to die, I don't want to be a vampire..

Stefan: We promise we'll find a way...
The boys go back downstairs to let Elena think. She gets up and looks in the mirror, she looks at her teeth then places her hands on her head.

Talia: Your senses and emotion are starting to increase tenfold..

Jeremy: Elena?

Elena: Jeremy... I'm fine, don't worry.

Jérémy: It's not true you know, you always act as if everything is fine.

Elena: Jeremy, I'm fine, I assure you!
Excuse me..

Talia: Have you talked to Bonnie?

Jérémy: Yes, when the sheriff shot me, she called on the witches to bring me back, and they helped.

Talia: Yes but there will be consequences

Jérémy: Maybe, but she won't have to transform.

Talia: Elena call me if there's anything, I'll go see how Matty is doing.

Elena: Okay, and above all reassure him. He must blame himself and...

Talia: Don't worry, I'll tell him, you rest for now...
I let go of his hand, go down the stairs and walk out of the house to my car. An arm quickly grabs me before hugging me against him, I see Jonathan and take him in my arms again.

Jace: I was so scared, when Kol told me what Rebekah did I...

Talia: Jace I'm fine..

Jace: Are you sure? You want to talk about it ?

Talia: Elena is going to become a vampire..

Jace: I'm sorry, with everything going on there's nothing you could have done..

Talia: E-Look I need to go see Matt, he was also in the car when it happened and..

Jace: Hey look at me, I understand. Go join your friends but above all rest, you need time too.
