Part 5- Completing the transition

"Human or animal?" Damon asked her.

"What?" Elena replied confused.

"To complete the transition." Damon told her repeating "Human or animal?"

"Well which tastes better?" she asked him already knowing his answer.

"Why human of course!" he told her with a twinkle in his eye.

"I never expected to say this" Elena told him hesitantly feeling the craving for blood build inside her and involuntarily licking her lips "but I think I want human. Does that make me a bad person?" she asked him.

"No Elena" Damon said with a smile "it makes you a vampire."

"Next question" Damon continued "living or blood bag?"

"Blood bag!" she squealed; a bit of the old Elena shining through "I may be a vampire but I'm not a monster!" the 'like you' implied at the end of the sentence.

"I anticipated that" Damon told her with a wry smile handing over a blood bag that he had brought with him "thank God I don't have to go out and hunt up a bunny."
