Contaminations

Prologue

Pain and resignation is all that I can think about in this moment, I can't believe my life is coming to an end. However what I could have never imagined is that my best friend would be the one to kill me.

I know it's not Elena's fault but Katherine's, or more specifically the virus she injected her as a generous gift before dying and leaving my friend's body once and for all. I am going to die eaten by a vampire; the fact has an ironical side somewhere that I'd have found if it all was a horror movie and not my life. I don't even know why I'm thinking about this now instead of worrying about running away or at least screaming hoping someone would hear me. It's like I'm stuck, maybe it's a side effect of Wes' virus, the crazy scientist that thought of creating a virus that would force vampires to feed only between them instead of humans.

I can feel that every second I'm weaker, probably it won't take long, there are so many things that I wanted to do, dreams that I will never be able to achieve, experiences that I won't ever have the chance to try, hidden feelings that I'll never be able to confess. I close my eyes hoping it'll be quick when suddenly I hear a thud and she moved away. I reopen slowly my eyes and I see Stefan with Elena on his feet in an unnatural pose for her broken neck.

"Caroline, are you all right?" he asks worried checking on the bite already healing.
"Yeah, I think you arrived just in time" I answer releasing a sigh of relief "what are we going to do now?".
"We'll bring her in the basement and we keep her there until we find a cure" I watch him worried, I can't avoid to think that we don't have a lot of chances of finding it, Katherine killed Wes the last Augustine's member.
"Stefan, what if we don't find a cure?" my voice is sweet, I don't want to sound harsh, I know that he still love her despite everything.

Thinking about this I notice that Damon is nowhere to be seen, when I got here searching for Stefan I'd found Damon and Elena kissing before she detached to attack me.
"Where's Damon?"
"He went out as soon as Elena attacked you, he didn't want to give in to temptation too, and sent me a message to let me know. Can you help me take her down?" he asks me referring to our friend's dead body. I nod and crouch to take her by the legs; together we take her to the basement through the small door hidden in the hall.

We had almost finished when a sudden sharp pain in my neck make me collapse, my friend drags Elena for the last steps and comes to me to understand what happened. Hardly, still numb from pain, I push my hair away from where I was bitten to see another type of bite appeared out of nowhere. A werewolf bite.
