DAIMON: Ana, pick up your phone.
You no longer get to not talk to me.

The Blood just att*cked.
They may come after you, too.

Wherever you are, I need you
to fight every instinct you have,

and please just be careful for once.

Let me know you got this.

‐ Daimon, stop.

You need to go to the hospital.
Or call the police.

‐ And do what? Hmm?

Turn myself in for attempted m*rder?

‐ I need to see that wound.
‐ We don't have time for this.

He swore to me.
