Trinity moaned and thrashed her head against the pillow, trying to pull away. Beneath her eyelids, her eyes moved rapidly. She was still trying to fight.

“You’re safe now,” Elena murmured, trying to soothe her. “We’ve got you.” She stroked Trinity’s hair carefully back from her forehead, and the girl stilled a little, whimpering. She was terribly pale. “It’s taking her a long time to heal,” Elena said nervously, looking up at Stefan.

“I know.” Stefan ran his fingers unconsciously across the wrist he had fed Trinity from. “But giving her any more blood isn’t safe. She’d rather die than be a vampire; any hunter would.”

Elena’s breath caught in her throat. Stefan thought that Trinity—funny, sweet-tempered Trinity, who had sparred with her and sympathized over Sammy’s death—was dying. Elena didn’t want to believe it, but Trinity looked so small and helpless lying there, trapped in her unconscious fight.

Jack nodded, his eyes fixed on his young teammate. His hair and clothes were spattered with blood and his face was exhausted, but he hadn’t left Trinity’s side. “All we can do now is watch over her,” he said softly. “At least we killed Solomon.”

Stefan nodded. “It was all thanks to Andrés,” he said. “Without him, we never could have gotten free.”

Andrés was slumped in a chair in the corner of the bedroom, completely asleep. Elena could sympathize. It sounded like he had channeled so much Power that he had burned himself out temporarily.

“Everyone fought hard,” Meredith said with a brief smile, dried blood cracking on her face. “And we won.”

Solomon was dead, Elena reminded herself. With all the worry over Trinity, she hadn’t really let it sink in. It didn’t feel like they’d won.

Glimpsing her own reflection in the window, she saw a pale, large-eyed girl, one who looked like the victim in a dark fairy tale, not the happy princess. She was edgy and anxious, as if there was some kind of doom hanging over her head. As if there was something terrible still out there in the dark.

Stefan had told Elena that Solomon was the same man who brushed past her outside the bar a while ago, with the yellow-green eyes. She shivered at the thought that he had touched her, and realized how close she could have been to death at that moment. I’m being ridiculous, she told herself. Everything will be all right, as long as Trinity survives.

Trinity shifted in the bed and gave a soft whimper, and Elena forced her attention back to the wounded girl.

The apartment was full, but it was very quiet, just the shuffle of feet in the hall as everyone—hunters, werewolves, Elena’s friends—stopped by, one after another, to gaze in at Trinity as she struggled for life. They were all injured in varying degrees, with limps, bruises, and cuts, but no one was hurt as badly as Trinity. Her hair spread out over the pillow, and her lashes were dark against the pallor of her face. She was breathing slowly and shallowly. Elena realized that
