REALISATIONS

A/N: Seems to be a constant thing where I am left breathless with all your reviews. As ill as I am, I can't help but write for you.

"Did Damon not explain anything at all?" he crossed his arms over his chest and stared down at me with those intense hazel eyes.

I shook away the thoughts and crossed my own arms. "No, because he was too busy crashing my bike and putting a bag over my head" I retorted angrily as the memory soon reeled in.

"His methods, though underhanded, were necessary" he replied but had the decency to divert his stare.

I scoffed in disgust, "Will you explain to me why?" I quipped but then put a hand up to stop him. "Oh no - wait" I growled and then crazily continued, "I know - to save Elena!" I replied in a venomous tone, her very name felt bitter when leaving me. "What makes her life more valuable that mine? Who gets to decide that?" I raged, throwing my hands up defensively.

The vampire Elijah took a step towards me but I faltered back. "If it appeases you, you should know that I am doing everything I can, make sure that you do not die..."

His words were drowned out when my fury only raged further. "If I've done my homework then it not only says that the hybrid drinks all of the doppelgänger blood -" I paused when something else dawned onto me, "- anyway - it said Petrova doppelgänger"

"Another thing made up by Klaus as a way of getting revenge on the Petrova generations that failed him" he quipped, offering compliments in such a nonchalance manner that I wondered if he even cared.

I parted my lips to reply with a snark remark but he interrupted me, "We should get back"

"That's it?!" I exclaimed, glaring daggers at him, "You're telling me that I'm going to be sacrificed to save someone else's life and then you expect me to just-" the words were cut off when the dizziness caught up to me and I slumped down to the ground, tired and defeated.

He moved towards me but I flinched away from the threat of his touch, "I understand this situation is tough..."

"Tough" I laughed at his choice of words.

He bent down, squatting next to me so he could meet my gaze, "I am going to try and make sure it does not come to that" he whispered and I almost fell for his sincerity.

"How?" I murmured.

He sighed but complied, "There's an elixir" I whipped up in confusion, waiting for him to continue, "...if you take it there's a chance that you will be resurrected after the ritual"

"An elixir" the word fell from being foreign and then into a disbelieving tone, "Elixir?" I repeated and shot up from the ground, soon he followed after. "Oh, I didn't know there was an elixir" I mocked with a gasped laugh, "Now there's some magical elixir that will bring me back to life" I teased, staring up at the sky and slapped my forehead, shaking my head at his explanation.

"I do not appreciate your tone" he scolded me.

I spun around to face him, "What are the chances of this elixir actually working?" I challenged but he remained silent, "You don't know?" I gasped out another humourless laugh. "So there is a definite chance that I will die" I bit my lip and stared up at the sky again.

"Sometimes, we all have to make sacrifices" he stated, like it was a logical concept. "Come on" he waved his hand, gesturing for me to follow after him.

Maybe on a different day I would have kept quiet but today, I no longer felt like being compliant and submissive. Casting my own dark glare on his retreating form, I practically snarled at him. "Then why does it seem like I'm the only one making sacrifices?"

It made no difference.

He still left.
