It figured that night would end before Rita and Taura could progress any further. Rita wasn't particularly disappointed to wake up abruptly, as they had reached a dead end. Really, the institute was doing them a favor by bringing them back to the starting point, where they could regroup.
What she didn't appreciate was the loss of valuable time,

Right. Of course.
At least this whole charade got him out of those damn uniforms, though these weren't exactly an improvement, either. Still, even before he was out the door, he found details slipping him by. Or maybe slipping wasn't the right word. He noticed. But most of him just didn't care when he was this fucking hungry. It overpowered any desire to think or sort through what the hell was going on. The more his instincts sharpened, the less he cared to analyze.
Was that Claire girl around here somewhere? She could come in handy right about now. Or Rick...which was an idea. He hadn't considered it because he hadn't needed to, but he'd never dismissed it as an option. It was a perfect option. It also implied an edge of desperation that he hadn't wanted ( ... )

Or maybe that was just what she imagined he was thinking. Her fun new brain trick wasn't something she was sensitive or self-conscious about or anything, but she was just waiting for the day she broke down in front of someone she didn't actually know, or worse, a friend she had managed to make here, and scare them off with her buckets of crazy. Although, when she ( ... )

Tiptoeing. Very Stefan of her. Speaking of, he wondered what he could get out of his brother if he approached him today, with Stefan thinking that he was on the verge of eating the next passing body.
Oh, wait. He already knew.
His eyes shifted in interest at the mention of Rose. He tilted his head. Elena didn't seem particularly concerned about the other vampire, which indicated that a) Rose was not at threat to anyone she cared about and b) that Rose currently didn't want to kill her. It wasn't necessarily good enough, but it was something ( ... )
