Chapter 8: Telling Elena
The run to the hospital wasn't very long, but since Damon was trying to be careful with Alexis, trying not to injure her more than she already was, it was slower. By the time they reached the hospital, Alexis looked like a ghost. They entered the hospital, Damon yelling for some help. Doctors and nurses came running towards them. Damon placed her on the gurney, watching as the hospital staff quickly began hooking up iv's and started asking him questions.
"What happened?" A blonde haired female nurse asked him.
"I have no idea, I think she was attacked. I was walking through the woods and found her." He replied, his normal answer for everyone that asked him what happened to people when they were attacked by the vamps.
"Do you know her?" She asked. Damon nodded. "What's her name?"
"Alexis Langton."
"Any Family around here?"
"No, they are all dead, but Elena Gilbert is on her way here. Alexis is staying with the Gilberts." Damon replied, watching as the nurse nodded and took off down the hall with Alexis.
Elena was turning her door handle when she felt as if someone was behind her. She turned around, seeing Stefan, who looked weak.
"Stefan? Where's Lexi?" She asked, looking around. "Are you okay?" She asked, taking a closer look at him.
"Um. Damon-"
"Damon? Why is Damon involved?" Elena asked, cutting him off.
"Because, he's taking her to the hospital." He replied, not wanting to tell her, but knowing that he had to.
"What happened?" Elena asked. Stefan could hear the fear in her tone.
"We were on our way back, when a vampire attacked us." He said, causing Elena to gasp.
"You-" She began, checking him over.
"I'll be fine." He replied, taking a deep breath. "But you need to go to the hospital, Alexis is in pretty bad shape."
"How bad?" Elena asked, looking into Stefan's eyes.
"Bad." He replied, and she closed her eyes. "The vampire stabbed her with a stick, and then drank from her." Elena opened her eyes, tears filling them.
"Is she still alive?" She asked, her voice shaking.
"As far as I know. We should be heading there though." Elena nodded as her tears fell down her cheeks. Stefan grabbed her, pulling her into his arms.
"I'll be okay.. I just need to make sure Lexi will be. I'll be right back." She said and headed off into the kitchen. Stefan let out a breath, trying to relax a little, he was still in quite a deal of pain. Elena came back out, her purse and keys in hand. "I left a note for Jer and Jenna. Let's go." Stefan nodded and followed her out to her car.
