It was still tense in the room, but both Salvatores managed to calm down. Damon was shooting dirty looks at Stefan across the room. They occupied opposite corners, it was childish. But then again it was nothing new for both brothers. Both being over hundred years old behaved like 5 year olds.

" We need to speak to Bonnie, she might know a way out of it" Caroline tried to sound upbeat. She smiled at Elena rubbing her hand.

"There is no way out of it! There are no magic beans you could eat, not to be a vampire. You'll be just wasting time and filling room with witchy judgment. And we all know how FUN that could be."

" You are all in denial, you little stupid children! How is it that I am the only sane here? The only possible solution is to get Elena to drink blood. God I want to shake them all up! This is frustrating, instead of hopping on the rainbow wagon to save Elena from becoming a vampire, you all should accept it."

Damon put his elbows on his knees and let his head drop in his hands. He was too tired to fight, physically or emotionally. He just let them all talk, the time will show who is right.

Elena was quiet, she sat on the sofa between Stefan and Caroline. She didn't listen to what they were saying anymore. She stared at the dancing flames in the fireplace. It felt odd, it was like she was having out-of-body experience. There is no way this was happening in real life. She heard Stefan's plan and hoped that it would work. That Bonnie will find some loophole. But the other part of her was wondering if Damon was right, he didn't sugar-coat anything. Just plain and simple "drink or die". Elena looked at Damon, as if feeling her gaze on him he lifted his head and their eyes met. She saw pain in his beautiful icy blue eyes, she was scared of what will happen to her but one look from Damon seemed to have soothing affect on her. Just like she saw pain in his eyes, he saw fear in hers, Damon gave her his best "everything will be okay" half-smile and she returned it.

The sun was starting to come up, she could see light peeking through the closes curtains, it hurt her eyes a little. The light wasn't even that bright, but when she looked in the direction of a window it felt like she was staring directly at the sun in midday. With everything that was happening, Elena didn't take time to check how she was feeling. The colors felt brighter and sharper, it was like she was looking through a foggy glass before. It was like Stefan and Jenna said, everything was heightened, she was confused. With all of her feelings fighting inside, she didn't know what to feel.
