Who: Elena Gilbert, Serena van der Woodsen and Damon Salvatore What: Elena loses control, Damon intervenes just in time When: The Halloween Party Where: Prison Warning: Violence
Elena was not pleased with her costume.. She knew she deserved what she got, waiting until the last minute to pick her costume. The old Elena Gilbert would never have waited so long, she would have had a costume picked out months before Halloween. Caroline would have demanded it actually but Caroline was nowhere to be found these days and Elena preferred to stay in the safety of her cell, only venturing out late at night when most of the prisoners were asleep in their cells. In another time, Elena would have been helping Penny plan the Halloween party, not hiding in her room. The only reason she had even agreed to go because Damon had this look on his face when he'd asked her.
So here she was standing awkwardly in the cafeteria wearing a stupid vampire costume. Damon looked handsome as ever in his Dracula costume but Elena thought it was a little silly. Vampires dressing as vampires? Maybe they should have dressed as humans to throw everyone off. Or even zombies.
The problem was that Elena was hungry and the finger foods that Serena and Penny had painstakingly set out weren't going to satisfy her. Instead she sipped the bottle of bourbon that Damon had given her since the strong taste of alcohol often curbed her cravings for human blood. But even that didn't seem to help tonight as she was surrounded by pounding heart beats and the sounds of blood churning inside all of the prisoners who had come down for the Halloween party. The sound of it was near driving her insane.
She gripped her glass tightly, so tightly that it broke in her hands and bourbon spilled all over the sleeve of her costume. "Damn it." She looked up again at Damon for help. It had to be Damon. She couldn't put this on Jeremy or Bonnie and it wasn't fair of her to go to Stefan for help. She was about to cross the room to talk to him when Serena stepped in front of her.
"Hi," Elena said with a small smile. She turned her eyes away, looking anywhere but at Serena because the tall blonde smelled absolutely mouth watering.
