Hey, I wanted to ask you something.

text - abigail.

Are you busy?

video.

I've been thinking a lot since we were able to talk to people from home.

I've never really been away from home before until now. Not for a really long time anyway. Not like this. I miss the people there, but...

[There's a small pause.]

I'm not sure if I want to go home. I don't mean staying on the Barge. I know that once I'm done here, I'm done. But just...staying in Mystic Falls? I don't know if I can go back to my life like that. I don't know if I can go back to the same people like that.

Does anyone else feel like that?

Hybrids can only be killed if their hearts are removed or if they're decapitated.

[So, yes. C'8]

[semifreakingnormal]

That's kinda terrifying.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

They're even more dangerous to vampires. Single bite and you're dead.

[semifreakingnormal]

Seriously? One bite?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

That's why I freaked out when we were on that other Barge. Werewolves have a toxin their bites that kills vampires.

[semifreakingnormal]

I'm sorry.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Not a big deal. I try to avoid being on the business end of a werewolf.

[semifreakingnormal]

Ditto. Didn't work out that great for me, though.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Do you really not like being a werewolf that much?

[semifreakingnormal]

....I dunno. [He has actually been torn on this since talking to Lydia.] It was awesome at first. Then someone put a freaking arrow through my arm.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

You know, I thought being a vampire was possibly the worst thing that could have happened to me at first. I dated one, another one was my best friend since I was in diapers...

But I never wanted to be one.

[semifreakingnormal]

[He nods along, but.]

At first?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena shrugs a little.]

It's what I am now. And I know there's no going back. So...

[She sighs a little.]

I guess I'm just trying to be okay with it. At least for now.

[semifreakingnormal]

Can you control it? Like really control it?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[She nods a little.]

I think so.

[semifreakingnormal]

How'd you get there?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Not in any possible path I'd recommend. I think it's just takes time. And being surrounded by people who are going to love you no matter what.

[semifreakingnormal]

Even if I hurt them?

[forgetyourusedtobe]

[Elena smiles a little. It's tired beyond her years, but still there and holding out.]

Even if you hurt them.

[semifreakingnormal]

[He nods, and it's good to hear, but he's afraid, too. He doesn't know if anyone will stand by him after that. He's not sure he'd want them to.]

Thanks, Elena.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

Anytime.

[And she means it. If he needs to talk about going from normal high school student to supernatural being with way more drama than he ever thought possible in his life, she's fine with it.]
