The Vampire Diaries Season 4
Chapter 1

Elena's cold body lay on the autopsy table. Her Skin had gone as white as porcelain, her hair was still wet. She almost didn't look real. Stefan sat next close to the body of the girl he had loved, his head presses against her cool cheek.

The pain and loss that surrounded the room was undisturbed by the commotion outside of the doors. Damon stormed into the hospital regardless of what lay behind or ahead of him. "Where is she?" he asked trying to push past Meredith. "Damon wait" She placed her hands on his shoulders to get him to come to his senses. "When Elena was brought in earlier I lied she had brain hem rage. I had to help her Damon, do you understand?" She stammered through the last bit of the sentence.

Damon hadn't really been paying much attention, but he understood Meredith helped Elena earlier today. Meredith told Damon Stefan was with Elena, although Damon wanted to burst through the doors to find Elena, Elena had chose Stefan they deserved their time. All he could do was wait.

Stefan was still in the exact same position. He had never felt so empty, so alone in his a hundred and sixty-five years of existing. He had really thought they would have made it through, They always seemed to, there was always hope but now nothing.

Stefan sat upright and looked at Elena's still body, he traced his fingers across her face remembering her alive. Elena always had the most beautiful smile and a laugh that made Stefan smile, her kisses were soft and her breath sweet. Stefan felt a pain, it submerged his whole body. He wanted to tear apart the room but he had already done that. Everything around him lay in bits scattered among the floor, a bit like him. All he could do was mourn, so he did.

There was a deep gasp in the room. The crying stopped and everything was still for a split second. Stefan snapped his head up his eyes met Elena's she was sitting up bolt right. "S-Stefan" she chutted out. Her eyes were full of confusion. "Elena" Stefan wanted to smile but knew what this meant if she was here now, all he did was grabbed her in his arms as she cried. Elena was a vampire

A millon thoughts racedthrough Elena Gilbert's head. She heard everything around he, but she really heard it. "How did this happen Stefan, the blood?" Elena cried out. Stefan didn't really know. "I am not sure, i think it was Meradith. She must have used it to help you earlier". Stefan tried to put Elena's mind at rest but she still was unsure about everything around her, it felt odd. Although she never wanted this, being a vampire. To hear Stefan's voice agian was soothing, she was thankful for that at least.

"Stefan i never wanted to be a vampire but to just hear you're voice, see you're face, touch you're skin" Elena let her fingers graze across Stefan's lips.
They way he looked at her made her feel as if her heart had skipped a beat, although it was impossiable. Elena's hand slipped to the back of Stefan's neck asshe pulled his face closer to her's, Stefan felt Elena's sweet breath that he loved so much. His urge for her lips grew and he couldn't hold back.

He pressed his lips to hers allowing their lips to slightly part, he traced the inside of elena's top lip. Elena felt Stefan's hand caress her face as her's made their way through his hair. She was the one to break the kiss. "Stefan, take me home" Stefan took Elena's hand and rushed to the door.

The place Damon had sat was empty. He had listened to Elena and Stefan's conversation and had thought it best to leave. Elena would never know he had been there. Stefan and Elena walked hand in hand out of the hospital. Their car journy was scilent. Not a word was said but their had still held onto each other. Elena's thoughts were all over the okace, she felt conflicted and torn. 'do i want to go on as a vampire or be gone by the morning' she asked herself. People needed her. jeremy needed her. Her friends needed her. Stefan needed her. So did Damon but she had hoped he would understand that she needed to let him go. Stefan she thought. She didn't want to imagine how he would be if she gave up.

Elena tightened her grip on his hand. "Earlier today I said that you should love the person who make you glad that you are alive. I love you stefan but if i am a vampire. Am i really living?" Stefan wasn't sure exactly what to say but just began to say words and hoped they would make sense.

"Elena Gilbert, you were and still are the most selfless, caring, beautiful and human person i will ever know. And i want to spend forever with you making you feel more alive than ever and i know its not my decion but the though of feeling how I did earlier. It will kill me".

Stefan was so good with words elena thought but she had never thought like that. How she could feel the same as before. Just now she felt rather normal but soon she would feel hunger, lust, anger and rage. But stefan knew her better than anyone maybe if he thought she could do it, she could. Elena didn't want to just give up, leave everyone to fight her continued battle against everything bad. She would make her choice."Stefan, i'm going to complete the tansition"
