Elena was lying on the couch, much to Damon’s discontent, while Meredith did some basic tests.
“How long have you been feeling like this?” she asked while she checked Elena’s eyes.
“Started this morning, when I woke up” Elena answered softly.
“And you’re having pain?” Meredith continued, checking Elena’s ears. “Where exactly?”
“My shoulders. My knees. My ankles. My hips” Elena summed up frowning, pausing after every joint she mentioned.
“Open your mouth” Meredith ordered and Elena obeyed. “Looks just fine” she mumbled and Elena closed her mouth again. “I’m going to take a little blood and have it tested”
“Is that necessary?” Elena asked a little reluctant.
“Since when are you afraid of needles?” Damon frowned and Elena shot him an annoyed glance. “I’m not scared. Go ahead. Do it”
Meredith prepared the syringe. “Let’s not forget, you still have cancer”
Elena shook her head. “No, no, that’s not it. I’m sure of it. I’ve been drinking tea every single day. My cancer is gone”
“Tea? What kind of tea?” Meredith asked a little stunned as she injected the syringe in Elena’s vain.
“I don’t know. Caroline’s supplying me, but it’s been really helpful and the pain only started today, which is why I think it has everything to do with last night’s training and nothing with the cancer”
Meredith shook her head disbelieving. “Well, we’ll see once the results are available, but I hope for your sake that you’re right”

I could kick myself. Why the hell had I done it? Like the stupid thing was any use to me anyway. Of course I knew why I had done it: boredom and a source of entertainment. These two things were precisely the reason why I had done many of the things I had done in my 1000 years of existence.
Now I was running from werewolves. You could say I was on their "most wanted list" which was definitely not a good thing. Werewolves hunted in packs and are a very loyal species. It was impossible to know how much of them were after me. Of course I was no stranger to being on the run which is why I never really had any real relationships. Before this…well that was a very long story indeed…
