Embarrassing Conversations
Damon rushed in the hallways , Caroline readily followed him.
He didn't care if all the students headed out knew he was too old to be taking classes, neither he gave importance to the fact that he was almost using his vampire speed to fly in order to find Elena.
As soon as they directed to the meanders of the building, it all went unpleasantly and uncomfortably silent.
Damon stopped, waiting for a sign, for a noise to tell him to move.
"What the hell?" Caroline muttered.
"Sh!" Damon told off, narrowing his eyes to concentrate better on the surrounding.
Somebody typing on a keyboard.
Another human writing swiftly.
A couple kissing.
And then her fainted breath.
He could have bet his own undead existence on that.
"I found her" he announced, headed towards the root of the sound.
He ran as fast as he could when he got to hear how her heart was slowly pacing lighter and lighter.
Damon didn't see anything, didn't hear anything but Elena.
And he realized he had become aware of the whole situation the moment he kicked the toilet's door down in a sharp movement.
"Elena!" he exclaimed when he saw the pale and tiny body curled on the floor.
Her cheek was resting on the cold pavement, her lips were slightly parted and her hair covered her face in a mass of dark depths.
"Oh my God!" Caroline knelt before her, but Damon was faster: he was already holding the unfortunate human in his strong embrace.
"What happened to her?" her best friend questioned herself, checking on Elena's pulse.
Damon, on the other hand, had been aware of her heart for many minutes by now.
"It's not stable." Was his firm answer. "I need to feed her."
The blonde girl eyed him behind her thick lashes. "She wouldn't want that" .
"I don't care what she wants" he muttered meanwhile his wrist was placed on his piercing white teeth.
Blood flowed copiously down his elbow as he raised Elena's chin until her pale and cold lips were on the dark streaming liquid.
"C'mon" he begged under his breath, scared to death. "Drink".
Caroline watched in horror, as she whispered . "Oh my God. Let her drink it, God!"
Damon shook Elena firmly, slapping as light as he could her delicate cheeks. "For heaven's sake, Elena! Please!"
She couldn't feel anything.
She didn't want to feel anything.
Because it meant pain.
With every breath her lungs took, she weakened.
Then a well known voice was audible to her hearing.
She knew that sound. She was sure she had heard it so many times, yet her memory found it to tiring to bring it back to her consciousness.
All of a sudden she found her lips being weirdly wet.
"For heaven's sake, Elena! Please" then his complaining and utterly surly voice was recognized.
Damon's.
She tried her best not to drive him crazy, better yet mad.
Elena parted her lips to swallow the blood he was offering, trying to breathe from her nose.
"She's drinking!" Caroline exclaimed in joy when she heard the girl's heart increase its pace.
Damon sighed in relief.
When she opened her brown depths, the first thing they met were his illegally blue eyes.
"Hey" he greeted, stroking her cheek.
She didn't look away. "Damon". Was her whispered awe.
"It's me. Believe it or not, that's not the afterlife" he smirked sarcastically.
Elena made him a face. "I guess I fainted. I need to get home before it happens again." she tried to stand up, but he blocked her down with him.
"Where do you think you're going?" he argued, as he saw Caroline roll her eyes and stand up to head out.
"I'll leave you two alone. I don't wanna have anything to do with your fights. I'll wait outside" she whispered so low that the human in his embrace could have never heard.
"Home, Damon. I didn't think your ears didn't work properly" Elena muttered as she tried again to stand.
He let her do it, supporting her back with his hands for her to find balance.
"Fine." He announced, as she turned to look at him puzzled. "But I'll drive".
Caroline had the weird feeling she had to tell Bonnie about what had happened some minutes before.
As she adverted the witch, she made sure Damon questioned Elena until she gave up telling him the truth on the event. He was unreachable when it came to bother people,sure the poor girl would have given up sooner or later.
"So" he started, leaning on the isle as Elena tried to warm up some water for a tea. "What happened in the bathroom?" he demanded, casually.
Elena blushed, her cheeks reddening even more when she realized he could feel her blood rising under her olive skin.
"I'm kinda weak these days. You know.." she sighed, embarrassed "Girls' stuff's about to come".
Damon looked puzzled. "Oh" he said, nodding. "And it randomly happens that you faint"
In a whole year he had known her, Damon knew how fastidious Elena could become those days, and loved the fact she could even get to piss Stefan off sometimes.
She had fire.
But, focusing, he didn't remember she used to pass out when it came to those women problems.
Now that she was thinking better and clearly, it had never occurred she'd skip a month. Either she'd have retards .
And that thought streamed a rush of anxious thoughts that flowed freely in her subconscious.
She knew nothing was off, that there was always a first time for human body not to work properly. After all, how long had it been her period was missing?
Somebody rang the doorbell before she even started to count the weeks,as she went to the doorstep to find her two best friends.
"Surprise!" Caroline smiled warmly, holding tons of junk food.
Bonnie was faking an excited expression right behind the blond girl, pillows under her arms.
"Girl's night!" Elena exclaimed , holding them tight. "I'm so glad you came."
Damon left soon after,not feeling at ease between both Judgy and Blondie.
"Are you feeling better?" Bonnie asked, her dark eyes softened looking at her best friend .
She was very concerned , especially after what her powers had allowed her to see.
"Mhm" Elena agreed, chewing on some chips. "Much better." She replied, nodding. "And hungrier"
The three girls giggled.
"Let's binge, then!" Caroline proposed excited.
"I have a question" Elena asked, randomly. "Can vampire get fat?"
Caroline smiled cocky. "Oh well. We're sorta dead. But see, since the curse was broken I've been feeling so much better. I can taste human food finding flavors more appetizing." She thought about it for a second. "Even though they seem to have effects closer to when I was human. I don't get fat so easily, but I can become a chubby blondie" she consented, bitterly.
Bonnie ignored Elena's giggle as she narrowed her eyes, her witchy mode on.
"What do you mean? Like, you began to feel more your human side?"
Caroline looked puzzled, not even knowing what to answer. "I guess I am closer to that,yeah. It's weird, right?"
Bonnie nodded, leaving the subject for a more appropriated moment.
"Best thing ever is not getting your period" Caroline commented proud.
"Oh, well" the witch agreed to the statement shrugging. Elena froze.
"What, Lena?" Caroline demanded, tilting her head to the side.
The human mentioned for the vampire to wait, while she calculated those numbers in her head over and over again.
And then she stopped, frightened.
The blood in her system went cold as the only thing she managed to blurt out was: "Oh my God."
