No one's POV

It was nighttime. Ariana was slowly walking down the middle of an empty road. She stopped. Her face was completely emotionless. She turned and looks around her for a minute before lying down on the road, spreading her arms out and closing her eyes as she waited.

A car approached the spot where Ariana lay in the middle of the street. The woman driving saw Ariana lying there and stopped her car a few feet away from her.

The woman had gotten out of her car and ran over to Ariana, crouching down.

"Are you all right? Was there an accident? Where are you hurt? Are you in pain?"

Ariana opened her eyes, revealing a dull and lifeless hazel, her expression vacant.

"I don't feel anything."

"I have a blanket in my car. Try not to move. I'll call for help." The woman got up and trotted to her car. Ariana remained on the pavement, looking completely numb. The woman opened the trunk of her car and retrieved the blanket. She turned around to see Ariana standing right behind her, looking at her hungrily. "What are you doing?"

Ariana smirked and started to vamp out. She extended her fangs and growled ferociously as she bit into the woman's neck. She held onto the back of the woman's head as she fed from her, prepared to take her first human life. Until the new town buzzkill, Damon, interfered, appearing behind her.

"That's enough." But Ariana ignored him and continued to feed. Damon grabbed Ariana's arm and pulled her off the woman. "I said that's enough. We agreed no killing. You are not ready to take someone's life yet. Not when you don't even have the emotions to feel remorse over it."

"Well, then, I guess that's on the plus side for you that I really don't care." Ariana smiled sarcastically. "Why do you have to be such a party pooper?" Then, Ariana turned back to carry on feeding from the weak woman.

"If you leave a trail of bodies, people are gonna start asking questions." Damon pointed out.

"Ugh, you used to be so much more fun." Ariana pouted, wiping the blood dripping from her chin. She held the woman out to Damon, extending her fangs and scraping them against the woman's neck while Damon watched her every move. "You want some? She's delicious." Ariana bit into the woman once again.

"I can't believe you're making me say this. Hey..." Damon grabbed Ariana by the arm and pulled her away from the woman for a second time. "Show a little restraint."

"No. Why don't you mind your own business and let me enjoy myself, why don't you?" Ariana smirked deviously, sending Damon a sly wink before dropping the weak but alive woman to the ground and strutting away, radiating confidence.

Damon watched her go, realizing just how much non-humanity Ariana was starting to shape into Madeline. And he didn't like it one bit. He wanted his one true love back...

Avery emerged from a small store into a truck stop parking lot. She cautiously looked around as she walked between two eighteen wheelers.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of something hitting metal. She stopped for a second and looked around. She heard the noise again but from behind her. Spinning around, Avery saw a man standing between the two eighteen wheelers.

He vamp sped over to her, grabbed her by the throat, and slammed her against the side of one of the trucks. Avery began to choke and gasp for air. The vamp threw her to the ground and looked down at her, his lip curling up into a snarl.
