even in the deafening dark, he could still hear the song of her heartbeat. or maybe it was just another imagenation. a song he reminded himself of. no longer human heart - replaced, replaced, replaced. HEART MADE OF STONE. the girl he met, long gone now. something so sinister about the way she looks at him. doe eyes full of longing, lust. and desperation. he couldn’t deny the fact that something about her, her process of transitioning into a vampire, it triggered him. nonetheless, he did feel for her. this was something she never wanted to be part of. she rather died in that damn car than ever returning as a vampire. the consequences of love. the consequences of his brother. damn fool, for not saving her. damn her, for being so compassionate. NOW THEY BOTH HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES. dark eyes inspecting her, hand reaching out and fingers intertwined together. a sign of comfort. ‘’ there’s nothing wrong with you. ‘’ he says, another statement. one he needs her to believe. ‘’ we’ll figure out a way. if you need human blood, if that’s what it takes for you to SURVIVE . . . then so be it. ‘’ lips pressed together, head tilted, not letting her out of his sight. ‘’ you’ll be fine, elena. i’m here & i won’t let anything bad happen to you. ‘’
