Gifted (Vampire Diaries Fan-fiction)

Tug of War - Chapter 55

Elena POV

"What the hell is 'By three' suppose to mean?' Damon asks as he slurps down half of a blood bag. Stefan tosses the crumpled piece of paper on the coffee table and sits down, he rubs his forehead and then clasps his hands together. He was frustrated, we had spent the entire night waiting for Damon to heal and when he finally did he was little help.

"Are you sure you didn't see who staked you?" Stefan asks for the tenth time. Damon growls.

"I already told you, he grabbed me from behind. I never got the chance to see him, all I heard was his voice and from what I could tell it was a he, not a she." Damon's voice was filled with annoyance. He finishes the blood bag and places it in the empty pile next to him, I had lost count of how many pouches he had drank. He reaches towards the small red freezer placed next to his feet, he grabs another bag and begins tearing the corner. I clench my jaw, in less than a second I snatch the bag away from him. Damon's eyes widen and Stefan stills.

"You've had enough." I say trying not to growl. Damon's eyes flash.

"You didn't have stakes stabbed through your eyes, you weren't stabbed in the chest and you certainly didn't have a wire wrapped around your neck." He snarls.

"You're binge drinking-" I snarl back. "-and in case you haven't noticed you're not helping us at all." Blood drips from the torn corner of the blood bag and onto the floor, I watch as it drips, creating a small blood puddle. The scent of human blood finally invades my nostril, usually my mouth would begin to water and my throat would begin to itch but this time the scent of the blood causes me to gag. I knew where this lead, whenever Damon and Stefan began binge drinking that meant they were going down the dark road, the road that lead to them switching off their emotions and becoming rippers. I didn't want to go down that road, I couldn't even stand the thought of turning off my emotions. I blink slowly, if Damon wanted to go down that path I couldn't stop him, he had proved that before.

"If you want to keep drinking, that's your choice. I can't stop you." I say, I toss the bag onto his lap and then I turn, and leave the room.

Damon POV

"You're binge drinking-" She snarls. She sounded like an angry jaguar, the tame and calm human Elena must've had some serious anger issues hidden underneath her skin, because the one looking at me right now was nothing like the human girl I had known. "-and in case you haven't noticed you're not helping us at all." She finishes. I swallow hard, I wasn't exactly sure what to do or how to respond.

Since Elena had turned I had tried to stay away, I rarely came home and when I did it was usually just to change my clothes, grab a quick drink and then I was back on the road. It hurt like hell, especially when she tried talking to me. Having to act like I didn't care felt like drinking acid, the pain was always the strongest in my chest, I knew I still loved her but it was my fault she turned. She had never wanted to be like this, and just like Stefan I had condemned her to an eternity of misery.

I feel alarm bells ring in my head as Elena looks down at the blood bag, I was willing to go down this road, but I wasn't going to allow Elena to follow the same path. My nerves felt on edge as I watch Elena inspect the blood that was slowly dripping from the bag. I risk a quick glance at Stefan, he was sitting on the edge of the couch, his shoulders were tense and his eyes were filled with worry. I look back towards Elena, her eyes were different. They weren't filled with hunger or lust, instead they were filled with disappointment and sadness.

"If you want to keep drinking, that's your choice. I can't stop you." She says softly, defeat was clear in her voice. She tosses the bag and it lands in my lap. A lump forms in my throat as she turns on her heel and exits the room.

Ello! Here's chapter 55(I think xD) I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! I tried to change the perspective up a bit so I hope it's not too confusing! I can't believe we're on the 55th chapter! Honestly it feels nowhere close to 55 but looking back I think I'm writing way too much! I'm thinking on making this book 100 chapters long and then continuing with a book 2? I'm not exactly sure, how does that sound to you guys? Would a book 2 be better than just cutting the book off after 100 chapters? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for reading guys! Don't forget to Comment, Vote, and Like! Thanks again guys!
