After the Fire Spitter incident, I knew I couldn't keep postponing it. At some point, I had to talk to Elena about everything—the truth about the Dullahan Virus, the dangers that came with it, and what it meant for her future.
I had already confessed everything to Rachel after wrestling with the decision for days. It hadn't been easy, but she deserved to know, and so did Elena. The difference was… telling Elena terrified me more. Maybe because she was quieter, more guarded, and I had no idea how she would take it. Still, after two long days of hesitation and pacing back and forth in my head, I finally forced myself to explain it all to her.
Her reaction was exactly what I feared.
