Katherine's eyes fluttered open and closed shut, a strange blurriness entering her vision as she struggled to remain conscious. She couldn't help but feel a slight twinge of fear as she internally berated herself for forgetting Elena didn't yet have the self-control needed to feed without killing. Katherine needed to stop this, her survival depended on it. With whatever strength Katherine could muster she pulled on Elena's hair in an attempt to pry her off from her. But no matter how much Katherine tugged her hair, Elena wouldn't budge; Elena's fangs were deep inside her. I said no more! Elena's eyes widened at the voice, heart racing, stomach churning, and her entire being shaking as she inwardly fought with herself. But to no avail. Hunger …show more content…
The hand that was pulling Elena's hair dropped to her side, and her legs buckled causing her to slowly slide down the tree she was being pressed against. "That's enough," Katherine murmured, fighting off the urge to close her eyes. "Stop!" she shouted one last time. Abruptly, it ended. Elena pulled away, her eyes returning to their normal color.

Elena caught Katherine's stare and she quickly averted her gaze elsewhere. The feeling in her gut was too much to bear at the moment. She wanted to help Katherine but wasn't sure how to go about it.

However given my predicament I guess I'll settle any type of blood," she said with her arms crossed, leaning on a tree. Elena stifled a grunt at how Katherine always finds ways to come off bitchy, even in this situation. She took a deep breath and nodded, hardening her heart and resolve to save Katherine.
