AN: Final chapter, not writing a sequel since there's so many "Elijah trains Elena on how to be a vampire and they end up together" type of fics
She's draining the blood bag, and all of her emotions are heightened.
He watches her, and while part of him is sorry that he could not prevent her death, another part of him is thrilled she's going to be immortal. That's the part that is too fond and possibly in love with her. He likes to pretend he isn't. He is. Another Petrova weakness, Niklaus would say.
"How are you feeling?" He asks, and she tells him it's all on high.
He nods, it's not unusual for that to be the case.
"We'll need to have to have a daylight ring made for you." He tells her and she nods. Alaric is dead. They'll need to find him before humans do, and he agrees. There's a funeral to plan, a ring to be made, and things to explain-but the spinning is slowing. And Elena thinks, it might all just eventually be okay.
