You had just woken up in the hospital, your mind fogged with pain and confusion. Slowly, your memories began to come back. Stefan had hurt you badly, but you remembered nothing that had happened in between the attack and now.

The hospital was quiet, and you were surrounded by dim lights and beeping machines. A moment later, you heard the sound of footsteps approaching, and you saw Damon enter your room, his expression a mixture of concern and anguish.
