E: Well, how long before you learn to control it

S: A while. But I didn't have anybody helping me. I have to do it on my own.The thing is it's hard to resist certain people, especially when you are new.It's difficult to separate your feelings. Love, lost, anger, desire… It can all blur into one urge, hunger.

E: What does that mean?

S: It means that Jeremy can't see her. Not now. She might not be able to resist him, and she could hurt him.

E: Or worse.

S: I'm not gonna let anybody get hurt.

E: I need to get going.

S: Elena.

E: Please Stefan. There is only so much I can take.
