Where Do the Lonely Go?
Chapter 1
Elena Gilbert laughed as she threw a french fry at her best friend Damon Salvatore. They were at their favorite bar just drinking and having a good time while he told her countless stories about his girlfriend Sage. She was a nice girl and her and Elena had even became friends, but today was Damon and Elena's time to connect. She always loved to spend time alone with Damon. Nothing was better than that.
The bartender sent them another round as Damon lifted up his glass.
"To us Elena Gilbert. We finally made it to the big city."
Elena clicked her glass to Damon's as they took the shot. Elena coughed. Sometimes whiskey didn't go down as well as Elena had hoped. She was glad that she finally got away from her hometown though there was too many painful memories there. Like the time she witnessed her father murdering her mother and her sister. That was a memory that was hard to forget. She remembered it as if it was yesterday.
16 Years ago.
Elena slept peacefully in her bed before the accident happened. She remembered when her mother burst into the room. She laid up in her bed and turned her bedside light on. Her mother stumbled towards her looking like death himself.
"Mom." she whispered trying to figure out what was going on.
Her mother looked at her then spat up blood collapsing to the floor. Elena screamed as she saw stab wounds all over her mothers night gown. She looked as if she had been stabbed multiple times. Elena put a hand over her mouth as she saw the handle of the knife plugged deep into her mothers lower back.
She got out of her bed as she crawled over to her mother trying to shake her awake but it wasn't working. Elena moved away from her mother and ran out of the room. Surely her dad would know what to do. She just had to find him.
That's when she heard it. Her sister Megan's screams. She ran into the direction of her room and nearly screamed at what she saw.
Her father had a hand over Megan's mouth and a knife hovering above her covered with blood. Elena stood there horrified as her father spoke to her sister.
"goodnight Megan." he said bringing the knife down.
Megan screamed as their father plunged the knife into her abdomen over and over again. He took his hand off as her sister screamed once more. He plunged the knife in again this time deeper and making sure that he hit a major artery. Megan spat out blood as she screamed no more. Her head tilted as Elena stred into the lifeless eyes of her sister.
She didn't know how she knew, but she knew she would be next if she didn't get out of there. She ran as fast as her little feet could carry her and ran outside where the neighbor caught her. She screamed as loud as she could.
Elena screamed as she dropped the glass she was holding to the floor and got out of her bar stool. Damon was there in a flash. She hit him until she regained a sense of where she was. She looked around. People had gone silent looking at her.
She exhaled as Damon looked at her with his piercing blue eyes. Sometimes those eyes were the only things keeping her from going completely insane.
"It's okay Elena. You're okay. Your dad is in prison on a double homicide charge. He can't hurt you anymore."
Elena gasped as tears strung across her face and she collapsed in Damon's arms.
"It will never be over Damon." she whispered as he stroked her hair.
"It's okay Elena. I got you I got you."
