"What Did You Expect?"

"There is only one dose." Vaughn revealed to Damon as they traveled through the woods of the desolate island.

Damon glared at the hunter. "Seriously?"

Vaughn shrugged. "Sorry mate, it has been written."

Damon scoffed as he processed Vaughn's words. "I should have known something like this would have happened." He said as he silently cursed at himself for embarking on a journey that was destined to fail from the start.

Vaughn looked to the vampire in an amused manner. "Well what did you expect? Silas was the only immortal on Earth when he and the cure were entombed. Why would there be more than one dose since it was meant for him?" He reasoned before he pushed Damon to keep on moving.

"Wishful thinking I guess." Damon quipped when all he really wanted to do was do something destructive to quench his rage for the new development.

"Well, sorry to disappoint you." Vaughn stated without sympathy before he shoved Damon to keep on moving.

Damon growled but did as he was told.

A/N #1: Short and straight-forward yet it gets the point across.I just wanted to say that I had a feeling that there was only one dose of the cure and I wanted that logic to be expressed through Vaughn (who is sexy might I add…he's like a foreign Dean Winchester). So what did you think not only of my 'added dialogue' but for the twist of the episode? Oh what about the death and twist at the end? I definitely had tears building when it happened! Let me know in a review!
