My eyes fluttered open. I looked around. The room enclosed my left over family and friends. Tyler had died and I wondered how Stefan, Damon and Caroline were alive. I sat up in bed. Aah. My head hurt. It was as of someone was hammering my head. I was dehydrated and I looked up at Stefan to explain what was going on. His eyes reflected only two emotions, pain and remorse. Then I remembered, I was supposed to be dead. Stefan had listened to me and pulled Matt out of the car. Yes. He had. Then how was I... No. No. This wasn't happening to me. I looked around at everyone in the room. Jeremy was happy to see me awake. Caroline had an anxious expression, Matt looked terrified and Damon... he didn't look at me. His back was towards me. "Am I..." my voice trailed off as I slowly shook my head refusing to believe my instincts... I stared at Caroline for an answer when she said, "you're in transition Elena." My hands automatically lifted to my heart. It wasn't beating anymore. I was dead. I was going to be a vampire. No. I won't. I am not becoming a Vampire. I had decided. That's my final decision. I would rather die than become a vampire and kill so many people. "Elena you need blood" Stefan said coming towards me. I got onto my feet. "I am not going to complete the transition." I stated. I didn't care how they would react. I couldn't do this. I wasn't up for this. I'd rather die. Before Stefan could say another word, Damon was right in front of me, facing me with his eyes glued into mine. I knew he wasn't trying to compel me. He was just making sure I took him seriously. I knew they would try and change my decision but I can't take it anymore. It's better to die. It's more peaceful that way. "Listen to me. You are going to complete the transition. Get it Elena? We listened to you and got Matt out of the water, and now you better listen to me!" Damon gritted his teeth as he spoke. I shoved his hands off my shoulder. "My decision will not change Damon." I told him bluntly. "Screw you! You have to do this Elena. For m'for all of us! We love you Elena, and we don't want to lose you!" "Well news flash Damon, I am already dead!" I retorted. I turned away from him. I knew it would be tough to handle Damon. He kicked the hospital bed and it crashed against the wall. Then he turned away and walked out of the room.
"What about me Elena? Do I deserve to be without any family for the rest of my life?" Jeremy said coming towards me. Why were they making it so difficult? "Jer... I... I... Can't.." I stammered. I felt bad for him. He has lost much more than I have. Whenever he began to bond with someone it always ended badly. How could I leave him alone? What would he do without me...? No. He would live a better life without me. "Elena, you have to complete the transition." Caroline said. "Even you are taking their side?" I said in disbelief. Why couldn't someone understand my situation? I couldn't change. I can't kill innocent people. I care too much. I had almost forgotten about the ever increasing hammering on my head. It was increasing and I was becoming weaker. My thirst for blood increased. I could sense every small sound in the room. Every second it was becoming tougher to live. Ah! I am dead. I have to keep reminding myself that. "Elena, I need you!" Jer said. I could see it in his eyes. He really did need me. I was his only family. Alaric.. "Wait a minute, if I died, that means Alaric died too?" I said realising how much I had missed. Sigh. This was going to be difficult for all of us. Stefan nodded. That was all. I couldn't leave Jer alone. I had to complete the transition. For him. He deserved this. Not that a Vampire family member was something great but still... I had to become a Vampire. I looked at Caroline for her opinion, which I already knew. "I will help you get through this... trust me." She said. Matt didn't say anything at first but then he nodded slowly. And finally I looked towards Stefan who had his eyes on me the whole time. "What?" I asked. "Aren't you feeling the pain?" he asked. "I am. But there are far more important things at the moment!" I exclaimed. He seemed surprised. Maybe not everyone could bare the pain. "So, what's your decision?" he asked. "I am ready... to complete the transition..."
