Chapter 3:

As the realisation set in on Elena, the tears came as well. She had no home to return to, everyone thought she was dead. The small drops of water slowly ran down her cheek, her lapis blue eyes filled with sadness. Margaret elbowed Caroline.

" How could you be so inconsiderate?" Whispered Margaret.

" I...I forgot, alright? Give me a break. I've been through a lot today!"

" At least you didn't die..."

Elena looked up at the arguing pair, her mind was spinning with all that's happened. As she fell onto her knees, everything appeared red. The hunger from inside her was trying to break out, she needed to feed immediately. Her nails dug into the grassy soil, the pain was too much to handle.

" Elena are you okay?" Bonnie asked, worried.

Elena looked up, red had filled her eyes. Damon and Stefan quickly exchanged glances, they both knew what was happening to her. She had let her hunger take control of her. Elena had been too busy worrying about Stefan and Damon to notice it was creeping up.

" What's happening to her?" Screamed Caroline. "Her eyes are all red!"

Elena's fangs slid out, her eyes on the frantic, screaming girl. Getting on all fours, she pounced onto her, tearing at her neck. She could see the vein on the now terrified girl's neck. The sound of the blood pumping through was making Elena thirst for it even more. She was so close she could pratically smell the blood through the girl's neck.

" Help! Stefan! Get her off me. Please!" Shrieked Caroline.

As Elena opened her mouth, Stefan moved quickly by her side and pulled her off. Everyone had backed away, staring at the creature Elena had turned into. Caroline scrambled backwards, her eyes wide with horror.

" Stefan...what's wrong with her?" Whispered Bonnie urgently.

" She's hungry. I didn't realise that she'd still be a vampire after being brought back to life. She's still new to this and she can't control it yet."

Stefan dodged as Elena tried to claw his neck.

" What if...what if she takes my blood?"

Damon looked over at the pretty, red haired Bonnie. Is she really willing to risk her own life to save her friend?

" You know the dangers of that, she could lose control and...well you know the risk you're putting yourself through and I can't allow that."

Turning his head sharply, he stares straight at Stefan. Poor deluded Stefan, would he really rather save Bonnie then Elena? Especially now that she had just been resurrected. It would be easy if it was Damon's decision, he'd sacrifice a thousand Bonnies for Elena.

" No Stefan. Elena's my friend and I'm willing to do whatever it takes. I'm not losing her ag---..." Bonnie didn't finish her sentence as she choked on her tears. They flowed down her reddened face and she looked more determined then ever to help.

Matt stepped in front of Bonnie.

" No, let me do it. She's used to me now anyways."

He moved his collar to the side, showing the 2 marks from her previous encounter with him. Saliva was dripping from Elena's mouth, she was so hungry she'd do anything to satisfy her needs.

" Are you sure Matt?"

" Yes, I'm ready. Let go of her." He shut his eyes in anticipation of the pain he had felt twice before.

Stefan slowly let his grip on Elena go, she ripped out of his arms and leaped onto the blond haired boy. He grimaced as her fangs cut into his skin. Grazing his neck, she let the blood trickle down her throat. She needed more, her thirst made her mad with hunger and she scraped the top layer of skin off of his throat. She was like a wild animal, frantically lapping up more and more of his blood. She could feel her cravings being slowly satisfied and her control coming back. The body beneath her was growing weaker and weaker. Getting up, Elena saw who it was...it was Matt. She fell backwards. What had she done? She could see red everywhere, but it wasn't because of her eyes anymore. Now it was the blood, it was covering everything around her. Someone moved over by her side, but she didn't acknowledge it until they softly whispered her name.

" Elena..."

She looked up at the dark haired youth in front of her. Worry shone in his green eyes.

" Are you okay now?" His voice was low and concerned.

She nodded. Her unblemished face was now covered in blood, but Stefan could see Elena was herself again. He held her in his arms, glad that he hadn't lost her again. She relaxed into his arms and found herself plunging into a deep slumber. Everyone had been through a lot today but Elena had been through the most. Stefan picked her up slowly as if not to wake her.

" Let's go."

Stefan started walking off towards the woods where Taylor had ran into after Klaus had died.

" Wait Stefan. What about Matt? He's still bleeding."

Stefan stopped and turned slightly.

" Damon can take care of him. All I want to do now is get Elena to a warm and safe place."

" But Stefan..." Was all he heard as he walked into the distance.
