The late September sun warmed Elena’s face and she opened her eyes. She saw Damon sitting in what looked like a very uncomfortable chair.
Perhaps Damon felt Elena’s eyes on him because he opened his. When he saw Elena was awake he quickly sat up.
“How are you feeling?” he asked hoarse. “Can’t believe I actually fell asleep”
“Can’t believe you actually fell asleep in that chair” Elena said with raised eyebrows. “Why didn’t you join me? There’s plenty of room”
“I wasn’t supposed to fall asleep” Damon said obvious. Elena wanted to comment on that when someone knocked and the door went open. They heard clicks and Caroline soon appeared. She walked quickly to the bed and embraced her best friend. “My poor, poor Elena” she said. “Why does everything always happen to you?” She let go of her and sank down on the bed. She heard something squeak and turned around. Damon had gotten out of the chair and rubbed his eyes.
“I’m going to leave you girls alone” he said.
“You don’t have to leave” Caroline said.
“No, it’s fine” Damon waved his hand. “I’m going to grab some coffee” He walked to the bed, leaned forward and kissed Elena. “I’ll be right back”
He walked out of the room and leaned against the door. He went with his fingers through his hair and sighed. A nurse walked by with a medicine car and walked into a room. “Time for your medicines, darling” Damon heard her say.
He raced to the car and kicked it, causing it to roll over and crash. The nurse ran outside and saw all medicines, pills and liquids, spread across the floor. She looked up and shrieked by Damon’s expression. His eyes were wrinkled and red and fangs appeared. The nurse staggered backwards, but when Damon wanted to move closer he was pushed against the wall.
“Pull yourself together” Stefan said soft. “Elena can’t use you like this”
Damon face turned human again and he let his shoulders hang.
“She’s sick, Stefan” he said.
Stefan nodded. “I know. But they will make her better”
“It’s not fair” Damon said difficult. “She’s been through so much and now this? What’s up with that? Why do the good ones always get punished?”
“Hey” Stefan said and he tried to grab his arm, but Damon struggled. “Hey, listen to me” Stefan attempted a second time, shaking Damon by the shoulders. “I can’t guarantee that everything is going to be okay, but I need you to believe it. ‘Cause if you don’t, Elena won’t either”
“She doesn’t deserve this” Damon said angry.
“Who does?” Stefan asked rhetorical.
Damon looked up and pierced his stare in Stefan’s. “I can come up with a few people”

Katherine ran to Fell’s church and climbed down. Rebekah had grabbed the phone out her hands and told her how stupid she was.
“They’re using you to find that witch, you idiot!” she had snapped.
Katherine hurried to the tomb and opened it. “Get out” she said to the weak Bonnie, who was lying close to the door. Katherine grabbed her hand and Bonnie shrieked. It was the hand with the hurt finger. “Come on, get out. I need to move you” Katherine said agitated. She dragged her out of the tomb, ignoring her cries.
But as soon as Bonnie was out of the tomb Katherine felt two hands on her shoulders that pushed her forward. She fell and turned around to see Caroline helping Bonnie stand up. “What the hell are you doing?” she asked. Caroline looked up. “I can ask you the same question” she fired back. She bit her wrist and forced Bonnie to feed, so her wounds would heal. “Come on, I’ll bring you home”
“Where is that?” Bonnie asked depressed.
