Derek scribbled up. “You really have some serious issues, man” he said after his nose had healed.
“Yeah, I’m sorry” Damon said, not very sincere. “But you wanted me to teach you”
Derek sought support against the wall. “I think I’m going to need some blood” he said looking meaningful at Damon. Damon rolled his eyes. “Fine, then. Come with me” He saw how Derek’s face cleared up. “You’re not staying over” he said sharp.
“No, of course not” Derek said, shaking his head. “I’ll just have some blood and then I’ll be off”
“Good” Damon said, pleased that everything was clear. “Now, let’s go” He walked out of the gym, Derek following him.
All lights were out and there was not a soul, except for them.
“Where is everybody?” Derek whispered.
“You don’t have to whisper” Damon replied. “They’re gone home” He rushed to the front door and tried to open it. “We’re locked in here”
Derek’s eyes widened and he lost his balance a little. “Oh no, we’re stuck here forever. We won’t be able to feed and we will die. Really die. We’re doomed”
Damon frowned his eyebrows. “Dude, calm down” he opened the door. “We’re vampires. You really think human-made locks can hold us back?”
Derek’s cheeks turned red and he avoided Damon’s mocking stare. “I knew that…”

The sun fell on Amber’s face and she woke up by the heat of it. She rubbed her eyes, trying to orientate, as she saw a man sitting next 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 said softly. Amber shook her head. “No, stay away from me!” she said terrified. Stefan didn’t move 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 said with a breaking voice. “Leave me alone!” She scribbled up and staggered away from Stefan.
