Elena Gilbert was not saved by Stefan Salvatore in her car accident at Wickery Bridge. In fact, she wasn't even in the car. The accident occurred on her parents way to pick Elena up. The accident has changed Elena. She's depressed and has turned to cigarettes to help her through it, just like her brother Jeremy, who's actually going to rehab for drug use and won't really be involved in this fan fiction. Elena is unaware of Vampires. Damon is unaware of Elena, but knows Katherine doesn't care about him anymore and gave up on her a decade ago. Bonnie doesn't know she's a witch. Caroline and Tyler haven't become vampires and is unaware of their existence. Alaric is just now coming into town and Klaus doesn't even know Elena exists.
Timeless . Delena. Chapter 1.
I felt my phone vibrating on my chest, making me jump awake. I looked down at my still ringing phone to see Caroline's picture spread across the screen.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Elena, where are you?" She squeaked back. I looked at my clock next to my bed to see it was already 6.
"Oh my god, Caroline. I'm sorry, I fell asleep." I pushed my still opened journal to the side before stepping out of bed.
"You know what, its fine. Just get here as soon as you can."
She hung up.
I walked to my mirror and pushed my fingers across the bottom of my eye to get off the makeup that had smudged while I was asleep.
I quickly brushed through my hair before changing into a black tank top, dark shorts and black flip flops, reminding myself I had no one I needed to impress.
I grabbed my phone, my purse and my keys before walking out of my room and down stairs.
Jenna was sitting at the couch reading a thick book. "Going somewhere?" She smiled. "I have to, unless I want the wrath of Caroline." I replied without expression.
"I think it's a good idea you go, you're a senior now. You should be having fun. This is one of your many first parties." She closed her book and placed it on the coffee table before taking a few steps towards me.
"I don't see why." I murmured, making her smile slowly fade.
"And why is that?" She raised an eyebrow.
"Junior year was no different than any other. I sat in classes with the same people learning things I didn't give a damn about. That's how senior year's gonna be."
"You may feel that way now, but senior year is truly a life changing year." I turned towards the door.
"I'm going to the Grill. I'll see you in the morning." I opened the door and walked out only for it to be opened again by Jenna. "You have to be here tomorrow at 1, Jeremy leaves for treatment."
"I'll be here." I yelled back opening my car door.
It didn't take me long to get to the Grill. As soon as I got out of the car I was greeting by several people, including Matt. "Great to see you finally at a party." He smiled wrapping his arms around my neck and smiling.
I couldn't help but smile back; he was one of the few people who had that effect on me. "I can't say I'm happy to be here, but I am happy to see you." I smiled.
He went back to his conversation with a group of other people while I walked inside. I saw Tyler and Caroline at the bar drinking tequila they had poured into water bottles.
Tyler smiled at me before pointing in my direction making Caroline turn her head to see me walking towards her.
A large smile appeared on her face while she jumped off the bar chair and ran towards me with her arms open for a hug.
I walked a bit faster and we both met in a tight hug. "You're here!" She yelled keeping her arms around me but pulling her head back to look me in the eyes.
"You look beautiful." She smiled. I looked down confused on what beautiful meant to Caroline. "You look incredible." I looked at her black skirt, white top and black jacket. "I try." She smiled with her curls bouncing.
"Hi Tyler," I smiled as he hugged me. "How are you?" He smiled back. "In serious need of a drink." We laughed. Tyler handed me a beer before we walked back to their seat at the bar.
An hour went by and I had been left stranded. Tyler and Caroline were shitfaced drunk, Bonnie had left half an hour after she arrived and Matt's shift had just recently started.
I still sat at the bar that I hadn't got up from since I had arrived. It almost seemed impossible considering as soon as one person left the Grill, three people arrived.
I shoved my hand in my pocket feeling my lighter. I was in desperate need of a cigarette.
I did my best to get past all of the people in the bar and I finally reached the door. I walked to my usual right corner of the bar to find two people making out in my smoking spot.
"Oh- crap. Sorry." I mumbled turning to the side of the grill and walking down the stairs towards the door of the basement.
I stopped outside the door and leaned against the stone wall before taking my newly opened pack of cigarettes I had taken from Jeremy's room and lighting one in my mouth.
I closed my eyes before deeply inhaling and breathing out the smoke. I heard steps coming from the stairs opposite of the ones I had walked down from. I quickly threw my cigarette on the ground before anyone could see it.
I turned to my right to see a shaded figure. I squinted trying to see who they were. Soon, a bit of light came down on their face.
It was a boy. He had blonde hair and a few freckles marked his face. His eyes were set on me while he slowly took several steps closer. "Katherine?" He frowned. "No, my name is Elena." He raised an eyebrow.
"What are you doing down here?" I asked.
"What are you doing back in Mystic Falls?"
"That's not an answer." I snapped.
"I'd watch my tone if I were you, Katherine."
"What're you talking about? My name is not Katherine," He smiled. "Well then you won't mind if I do this." I wrinkled my forehead as his face began to 'transform.'
His eyes went bright red while around them black veins appeared. He opened his mouth exposing two sharp fangs like dogs.
My throat chocked up and I couldn't scream for help. No one was outside except for the couple who I had presumed left.
Quicker than humanly possible, he grabbed my neck and shoved his teeth into my neck. I felt as if my life was being sucked out of me, when it was really all of the blood.
I heard footsteps coming from a few feet away, but I couldn't scream for help. I couldn't do anything.
Suddenly, another figure moving faster than any human ran past me, taking the man to the ground.
I felt my body slam onto the concrete as I faced the wall, hearing ripping and tearing coming from behind me.
A warm hand gently grabbed my arm and turned me over so I was lying on my back.
I looked up to his face in amazement, trying to forget about the blood I was quickly loosing.
His hair was jet black; a few strands fell on his flawless skin. Two dark eyebrows were above two incredibly bright beautiful eyes. His lips were thin and pink, above a sharp jawline.
"Katherine?" He looked at me like I was a ghost. "Elena," I replied before losing consciousness. Everything went black. I couldn't feel anything, see anything or hear anything. I had to be dead.
