Stefan's P.O.V
"Stefan! Stefan, what's wrong?" I heard her voice next to me. She put her hands on my cheek as I clutched at my throat. It had felt dry ever since I had woken up after the spell but I just thought it was my need for water. I hadn't drunken water in almost 150 years. But now that dryness was all I could think about. It was like I was rubbing sandpaper up and down my throat. I felt Elena's arm go around me as I swayed a bit. "Stefan? Stefan-" I tried to listen to what she was saying but all I could think of was one thing. Blood.
Damon's P.O.V
We laid on the bed, in bliss. Nothing that was going on outside of this room mattered to me right now. As long as she stayed there in my arms. That was all that mattered to me.
"So what now?" She asked me as she stared at the ceiling. Her fingers were intertwined with mine.
"What do you mean?" I asked her. "Anything you want." I said to her.
"No, I mean what do we do now? Where do we go from here?" She asked me. She was now getting out of my arms and sat up in front of me. I groaned as she pulled away.
"I don't know, anything I guess. As long as I'm with you." I said to her pulling to me.
"How about Europe?" I raised my eyebrows. "Well, I mean I haven't been to Europe recently and it would be amazing to go together." She said leaning forward, her lips almost touching mine.
"Traveling, huh?" I said thinking about it. What about Stefan?
"We could go to Rome and Paris and Greece and everywhere!" She said excitedly kissing me. "We have all of eternity."
"All of eternity." I said smiling at that sentence. I finally got the girl and now I could spend the rest of eternity with her. It was worth the wait.
Caroline's P.O.V
"Can you guys stop it for just a moment?" I said exasperatedly. Bonnie and Jeremy were at it again. They pulled apart laughing.
"What is it, Caroline?" She said smiling with her hand in Jeremy's.
"Okay, well-" I stopped for a second and looked at my best friend. Would she agree with me? Would she hate me for it? "I know you're probably going to think I'm stupid but..."
"Caroline, we would never think you are stupid." Bonnie said.
"I know, I know. It's just- okay, here it goes... I want to go to New Orleans." I said the last part really quickly ad waited for their anger or disapproval.
Bonnie opened her mouth and the closed it again. She didn't know what to say.
"Are you sure?" She finally asked me.
I paused for a moment. "Yes, I think so. I mean there's only one way to find out." I said with a shrug. "I'm just scared that I will regret it. He's sweet and his accent and I know he's done bad things but haven't we all?" I asked more to myself then to them.
"Then Caroline Forbes, it is about time you got happiness. You, of all people, deserve it." She said to me.
I hugged her tightly and said, "thank you so much. I don't know what I would do without you. I am so glad you are back. You have no idea." I said to her.
Stefan's P.O.V
I had hurried off into the house, Elena walking beside me. I wasn't paying close attention to anything anymore. I could think about was that red liquid going down my throat. Every part of me itched for it. I just needed a drop, maybe two or three?
I could hear faintly someone calling me but I didn't turn around. I was now in the basement with a whole basement full of it. I ripped the door open to the fridge and started drinking down the first blood bag. It felt like honey flowing through my throat, soothing me. Then I drank the second blood bag. I was starting to get control of my body now, and my thoughts. Footsteps had stopped behind me and I turned around with blood dripping from the corners of my mouth. They all stared in shock.
