***NOT EDITED***

***Allison's Point of View***

They have been off planning on how to control me now for some time. I have relentlessly been trying to break these stupid tree limbs that Caroline has contorted in to a cage. She has potential to be great. I could change her and maybe her gift would manifest into something even greater if her body accepted the change this time. Speaking of that, I did survive the change obviously yet Caroline didn't. I have been trying to prove that I am just as strong as her for ages and now I have proven stronger than her. I could toss her around like a rag doll if I wanted too. Her gift is the only thing that makes her special. Ah here the little gang comes. The must have finally figured out a plan.

"Allison, we have decided what we need to do." Daniel spoke first. He attempted to sound calm, but I can smell his fear all their fear permeating the air around me. "This," William began while holding out a syringe. "will make you more...docile." He said after trying to think of the rightword. "Docile?" I ask while laughing at him. "Can you not just be honest and tell me what the drug is really going to do Willy?" I taunt. The group squirms with unease and I know it has to be a pretty big deal to have them this nervous. "What does it do?!" I demanded. No one answered me again and I was getting more and more frustrated. I fought against the limbs again while William came towards me. "Caroline lower her down but keep her still, I have to hit a vein for this to work." He ordered while flicking the syringe. She nodded while focusing on me. I felt the branches break away and I went to jump down, but I could not move. "Let me go!" I seethed towards her. I could make out the blood pumping through her vein in her neck and I wanted to feed so badly. "I'm sorry Allison." She whispered while William stuck the needle in I felt nothing at first and then all at once fire was licking down my entire body.

***Craig's Point of View***

Allison was currently thrashing her limbs while screaming for it to stop. Caroline was sobbing into Landon's chest as he held her trying to comfort her. Daniel was sitting silently next to them holding Caroline's hand. William was concentrating on Allison with grey eyes. I know he was trying to take away her pain, but it wasn't working. Elizabeth, who had been helping out in the food shelter had come with food for us. After failing to get anyone to eat she settled down next to William. He grabbed her hand, but stayed focusing on Allison. I stood about twenty feet away with silent tears running down my face. This has been going on for at least two hours and I didn't know how much more I can handle. "William, how much longer will this last?" I asked my voice cracking at the end. He sighed before walking towards Allison. He knelt down and smelled her neck. "The drug is almost all the way through her system. The process should be done in about an hour. Her pain will start to lessen soon." He answered relief in his voice.

After hearing that Caroline started calming down and finally caved into Landon's request for her to eat something. She had just finished when Allison's screams died down and turned into whimpers. Her thrashing stopped and she would just slightly twitch every now and again. "She will wake up in about five minutes. She will be very weak. She will need blood soon." He explained carefully. He glanced over towards Caroline and Landon shook his head. "I can give her some of my blood." Landon announced. "Caroline doesn't have to be the only one who gives her blood, just because she already has scars doesn't mean the burden falls only on her shoulders." He finished with a sigh when Caroline unconsciously made sure her hair was covering her scars.

"You think I'm a burden?" A small voice croaked out surprising us all. Allison had finally woken up and the first thing she heard was that she was a burden. Landon flinched and I knew he expected me to be angry, but I wasn't. He was protecting Caroline and he didn't know she was awake. "Allison, of course I don't think you are a burden. I didn't mean it like that." He tried to explain. She went to sit up, but swayed slightly and lay back down. William was by her side in an instant helping her into a sitting position. "Whoever is going to feed her needs to come forward now." William told us while supporting Allison who looked deathly pale. She had dark bags under her eyes that almost looked black compared to the whiteness of her skin. I cringed every time I looked at her and I couldn't help it. She didn't look like my little girl. Landon went to stand up, but Caroline pulled him back down. "Trust me, you want me to be the one." She said smirking slightly. We all shot her questioning glances. "He has to lick the wound clean so it will heal. So unless you all want to have William lick your neck I would suggest you let me continue doing this." She said her smirk getting larger. "I want to be the only one to touch your neck." Landon muttered causing me and Daniel to both snap our necks towards him with matching glares. Caroline and Elizabeth both laughed but were cut short when William cleared his throat motioning for Caroline to come forward. She looked at Landon and he reluctantly nodded. Caroline kneeled down in front of Allison and William guided Allison's head towards Caroline's neck.
