Vampires don't age.
Vampires don't sparkle.
Vampires are predators.
And a vampire's worst sin would be to fall for his prey.
(Ok, this is my 2nd fanfic. I tried to get together two things that I adore: Sebastian Stan & supernatural creatures. A lot...
"Hope...", I say softly. The room is in twilight. She looks confused. I come close to her.
"What happened?", she asks again.
"You had an accident... I was contacted by the police and picked you up at the hospital", I say as calmly as I can. Truth is I am terrified and I feel guilt taking over myself.
"Why am I...?", she looks at her clothes, stained in blood. "My head hurts. What did the doctors say? Shouldn't I be under observation?".

"I... uhm... I decided it would be for the best to bring you here. So you can rest...", I lie.
'God, how am I going to explain any of this to her?'.
"I think I'll close my eyes for a bit if you don't mind...", she says and passes out right away.
As desperate as I am, I think of the only person that could help me.
Elijah's P.O.V
"You should have called me the moment you were at the Hospital. Do you have any idea of what this means, Sebastian?", I sigh, frustrated.
"It means she can either become a vampire or...", he looks away. He is aware that if Hope doesn't want to feed, she will not complete the transition and that will lead to her death. I can see the pain in his eyes and sense the guilt he is feeling.
Hope opens her eyes from time to time, but never long enough to stay fully awake. It's been like this for several hours. Sebastian looks devastated.
"I can't lose her...", he whispers.
"As much as it hurts you, it is not your decision to make...", I say.
I can understand what he is going through. And honestly, I don't want Hope to die either, but it is her call, not ours.
We hear her gasping and she walks out of the room, looking at us.
"What's been going on?", she asks and frowns. She now stares at me, as if she could remember me.
"Hope, do you remember Elijah?", Sebastian asks as he wipes a few tears from his eyes.
"Yes, you hosted the New Year's Eve party..." she says and looks at me for a second before turning her head to Sebastian "Sebastian, why are you crying? What happened?".
Sebastian breaks down and I decide to step in.
"Hope, there is something you should know...", I start.
By the time I'm done telling her the whole truth, she is in shock. During this whole time, she looked at Sebastian only once, with mixed feelings towards him. She stares at the floor for quite some time before speaking.
