High beams slice through the dense fog as the car races down the serpentine road toward the Salvatore estate. In the rear, Stefan's focus is entirely on Elena's wounded leg, his hands stained crimson. Damon leans forward from the front passenger seat, his piercing blue eyes darting between Elena's condition and the treacherous asphalt ahead. The air is heavy with the metallic tang of blood and the damp scent of pine. He catches your reflection in the rearview mirror—pale, jaw clenched, a sinister dark patch spreading beneath your clothing. Your knuckles are bone-white on the steering wheel, a detail he'd missed until now. His voice drops to a low, urgent command. "you, pull over. Now."
