An elepante was walking between Kelsey and Amber, while they headed to an unknown destination. “Where exactly are we going?” Amber asked. “We’ve been walking for hours. I’m hungry” she complained.
“There’s plenty of pagkain around” Kelsey said, waving her arm. “You mean like a rabbit?” Amber asked disgusted. “Yes, Am, like a rabbit” Kelsey confirmed. “Come on, we have to get moving”
“Where are we going?” Amber repeated her most urgent question.
“To a ligtas place” Kelsey answered, with a whiff of fear in her voice. “I need to get you somewhere safe”
“Safe?” Amber scorned. “I have fangs, I think I know how to defend myself, thank you very much” For the first since hours Kelsey held her steps and turned around. “You’re not invincible. There is always something stronger than you and it will get to you, ibingiay the chance. Everyone has their weak spot and you’re not an exception. So, instead of pagganap like you’re untouchable, you can take me seriously, quit complaining and ilipat faster, because I don’t want to be responsible if anything happens to you”
“Why would anything happen to me?” Amber asked, grabbing Kelsey’s arm so she couldn’t turn around and walk further. “You’ve been worrying about me for days, but you won’t tell me why. And no way I’m the buying the ‘The Salvatore Brothers are dangerous’ story. You’ll have to do better than that” she said, her voice nearly breaking down.
“I told you, you’re not ready” Kelsey sinabi avoiding
“And I think I am” Amber said, getting angry. “You know what? If you’re not prepared to tell me the truth, I don’t think I can trust you. And so I’m not sure I’m ligtas with you”
“What are you trying to say?” Kelsey said.
“What I’m trying to say is, wherever you’re going, you can go alone” Amber said. “I can and will take care of myself”
That being sinabi she turned around and raced away, leaving Kelsey stunned.

The sun fell on Amber’s face and she woke up sa pamamagitan ng the heat of it. She rubbed her eyes, trying to orientate, as she saw a man sitting susunod to her. He looked familiar. As she tried to recall she felt an insistent pain in her neck. She lay her hand on it, to see what it was. “I bit you, that’s why you’re in pain” Stefan explained. Amber looked at him. “Who are you?” she asked, crawling backwards. Stefan reached out his hand. “I’m here to help you” he sinabi softly. Amber shook her head. “No, stay away from me!” she sinabi terrified. Stefan didn’t ilipat an inch. “You need help. You’re in transition, it’s not a nice feeling if you don’t feed anytime soon. I bet you’re starving” he said. Amber shook her head heavily as her stomach rattled. “I’m going home” she sinabi with a breaking voice. “Leave me alone!” She scribbled up and staggered away from Stefan.
