A/N: This a bit AU, but this is what I wanted to happen in Roses last moments before she died.

I Don't Want to Die

My body was convulsing and shivering all without my say so. I felt so cold, as if ice were running through my veins. It hurt. I'd felt so much pain in my life, but nothing like this. It wouldn't stop, my body would ripple in quivers and I would lie there on the bed in fear.

I looked up, it was her. I ignored the pain, because I had to survive. In less than a moment I had her pinned to the ground.

"Katherine why did you come here? Answer me…answer me!"

Elena's stared at in fear, at the woman shrieking at her, me.

"Rose, I'm Elena. I'm Elena."

I stared at her, I had to be sure. I didn't want to die.

"Where am I Elena? I don't know where I am."

She gently caressed her hand to my face. "We're home, where no one will hurt you. I'm here."

I was shaking as I once again became aware of the pain. "Elena I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry…I could of…I almost…"

"It's okay, I'm not scared." Elena's voice wrapped me into a blanket, one that covered me and shielded me from the world.

I nodded. Elena then moved slowly from underneath me, helping me up. She supported my weight as I stumbled across the room to the bed.

"I'm going to die." The words left my mouth and the weight of them scared me. "Elena, I don't want to. I don't want to die."

Elena gently sat me on the bed and lay me down. "Look at this, it's such a terrible mess, will it be okay? Do you want me to get some new sheets?"

I looked to the side; it was a stain of blood. I nodded, and then she went to leave.

"Stop", I replied helplessly, "Don't go…I don't want to be alone."

She simply stopped and came to my side. "It'll be fine…nothing bad will happen to you. You won't die."

"Yes I will, Elena, I'm going to die and it hurts so much. I want it to just stop. Could you do that for me?"

She stared at me in fear and I just smiled.

"I wish I could hesitate like you…I don't anymore. I lost that, becoming a vampire. I lost a lot of things being what I am…so many things. I just want it to end Elena."

She just stared at me wide eyed and scared.

"Okay", she uttered, "okay…"
