The Gilbert Witch 4

Growing Pains

I gasp awake.

It's morning.

Stefan and Leo are sitting on the end of my bed.

I'm confused on what's going on.q

I thought I died.

Stefan? Leo? "I asked confused.

Hey. We're right here. You've been in and out for hours. "Stefan said.

Wh-what happened? "I asked scared.
You were in an accident. "Leo said.

Oh my God. Matt, Elena are they...? "I started.

Alive? "Damon said.

Me, Leo and Stefan both look at him.

Ask Stefan and your little Angel Leo. The heros. "Damon said coldly.

I look back at Stefan and Leo.

They're fine. "Leo said ignoring Damon.
Thank you. I thought that I – how did you...? "I asked.

Save you? They didn't. "Damon said.

When Jeremy amd Elena brought you to the hospital before all this happened, your injuries were worse than anyone knew. Meredith Fell made a choice, she used Damon's blood to heal you. "Stefan explained to me.

And when Rebekah ran Matt's truck off the road, you had vampire blood in your system, Emely. "Damon said.

My eyes widen.

Oh my God. Does - does that mean that I – am I dead? "I asked scared.

Leo, Stefan and Damon don't say anything.

No, no, no, no! That wasn't supposed to happen! "I said frustrated.
Maybe it doesn't have to. I talked to Bonnie, she says she's stronger than ever, there might be something that she can do to help you. "Stefan said.

No, the only thing that's going to help is for you to feed and complete the transition. "Damon said.

We have all day before she has to feed, Damon. That's a day to exhaust every possible way out of this. "Leo told him angrily.

There is no way out of it. We all know the drill. You feed or you die. There is no door number three. "Damon spat at him.

I was ready to die. I was supposed to die. I don't – I don't want to be – I can't be a vampire! If there's something that Bonnie can do we have to try. "I told them.

We will. We'll try everything. "Stefan said.

Damon scoffs and rolls his eyes.

Your choice, Emely. As always. "He said.

He gets up and leaves.

Stefan looks at me.

All expression leaves my face and its blank.

Leo. Please make sure my sister is fine. "I told him.

He nodded and orbed out.

5 Mins Later

I look at myself in the mirror.

I'm breathing heavily and rub my face.

I touch my teeth to check if they have sprouted fangs yet.

My hearing has intensified and I can hear the electricity running through a lightbulb and look down at it.

Then I see Jer, Elena, and Leo in the doorway and I walk over to them.

Jer! Elena! "I said happily.

We hug eachother.

Thank you. "I told Leo.
