Summary: Elena decides to let loose and have fun with her friends by attending a party at the woods. However, the fun ends when Elena gets drunk and is raped by a college student. Takes place at the beginning of Season 3, contains differences from what happened on TVD. Rated M for rape scene.

Elena Gilbert smiled as she finished applying the last of her make-up, it felt like ages since she last attended a high school party where she could hang out with humans her age and get drunk without a care in the world. The last time she had gone to a party, her parents had died and Elena was thrown into a world of chaos with vampires, witches, werewolves and hybrids. Going to a party seemed like a trivial thing, but it gave Elena the assurance that she was still human.

She sighed as she touched the vervain-filled necklace that her ex-boyfriend Stefan had given to her almost a year ago. She had spent all summer working to find Stefan who had run off with Klaus. When she finally had succeeded in finding him, she discovered that he had changed into a monster, a ripper who had completely shut off his humanity.

After that devastating blow, Elena realized that she had no one left, save for Damon Salvatore. Although he had hurt her many a time, he had saved her and was there for her no matter what happened. Although she knew that Damon loved her, she was afraid to take the next step with him. She didn't want to be hurt once more, she didn't want to fall into the darkness that had appeared when her parents had died, when her Aunt Jenna and her brother Jeremy had died and when Stefan had broken her heart.

Elena shook off her thoughts as she grabbed her purse. She was determined to have a good time tonight with the friends she had gone to school with. Tonight was a night to remind herself that she was human.

She took one last look at the mirror before heading out. Summer was winding down, but it was still a warm night. Elena had decided to wear a turquoise summer dress with metallic sandals, a stark difference to her usual t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. She couldn't remember the last time she wore a party dress. She figured wearing one would help get her into the party mood.

She got into her car and drove past Mystic Falls into the woods, where she spotted a bonfire, along with a mob of people. The party was well underway. She parked next to the other cars before making her way over to the crowd.

"It's about time you got here Gilbert," Tyler said as he handed her a can of beer.

"Sorry, I got caught up with things," Elena said as she popped the can open and took a sip.

"Well at least you made it," Tyler said before noticing that Caroline had arrived.

"I'll catch you later Elena, stay out of trouble," Tyler said jokingly before going to join Caroline. Elena laughed to herself; although Tyler was joking it always seemed that she needed help. Danger and trouble always followed her.

"Stop thinking about the past already Elena, it's time to have some fun" she thought, chugging the beer before making her way over to the kegs. After filling her cup, she walked around, trying to find Caroline and Tyler. After scanning the crowd without having any luck finding them, she came to the conclusion that they had snuck off to have some fun in private.

"Elena Gilbert, how are you?" a voice said. Elena turned around and saw Dominick, a college student who had graduated from Mystic Falls High School last May. She had occasionally talked to Dominick, but preferred to avoid him. The entire school knew that he was trouble.

"Hey Dominick, I haven't seen you in a while. I'm fine, how are you doing?" Elena asked.

"I've been good, me and my buddies decided to crash the party, we missed the Mystic Falls High crowd." Dominick replied as his eyes scanned her body, instantly making her feel uncomfortable.

"Well I hope you guys have fun. I have to go, my friend just arrived" Elena lied before turning away from him.

"Stay awhile Gilbert, I haven't had much time to talk to you since you were with Stefan Salvatore all the time at school," Dominick said as he grabbed her arm. Elena's heart beats sped up, fear washing over her at the tight grasp that he had on her.

"I need to go Dominick, Caroline's waiting for me," Elena said.

"Caroline Forbes left with Tyler twenty minutes ago, probably to have some fun. We should have some fun too," Dominick said, a sick smile forming on his face as he began to drag her away from the party.

Elena struggled against his grasp, hit him and yelled but no one seemed to notice, everyone was too high or drunk to realize what was happening minus Dominick's best friend, Anthony, who made his way over to them to help drag Elena deeper into the woods.

"This is a good spot, don't you think Tony?" Dominick said after they had walked awhile. The bonfire was nowhere to be seen, the woods were completely dark.

"Yeah, no one will disturb us here," Anthony replied as Dominick threw Elena on the floor. Elena immediately ran off but Anthony caught up to her and tackled her to the ground. She cried out as her head hit a rock, but Anthony ignored her as he turned her over and held her down.

"Please don't" Elena said as she saw Dominick approaching her with a knife. She was breathing heavily, completely afraid. She felt him ripping her dress open before groping her breasts roughly. She began to cry as she felt Dominick kissing her exposed skin, his fingers ruthlessly probing her womanhood.

"You know you want this, look at how wet you are, you little slut" Dominick taunted, making Anthony laugh cruelly.

Elena was heaving when she saw Dominick unzip his pants before thrusting inside her. Immediately, her mind flashed to Damon. More than ever, she wished that he was with her. She realized that they were taking what she had wanted to give him. He wouldn't want her anymore after what these monsters had done to her. She was devastated at the thought.

The attack lasted for what seemed like an eternity. They had both had taken her in various positions, none of them gentle. By the time they were finished, she was a half conscious, bloody, beaten mess.

"I'm tired and it's late Tony, we should get going," Dominick said.

Anthony merely nodded as they got dressed and grabbed Elena's things before leaving. Elena shivered. She was in the middle of the woods without clothes or her phone. All she wanted was Damon.

Elena mustered the strength to get up to try to find her way out of the woods. She wandered around for a while before spotting the graveyard in the distance. She knew that the Salvatore manor was close by. She continued to walk until she found the came upon the driveway that lead to the manor. Relief washed through her when she saw that his car was there and the lights were on. Her energy was running low as she walked down the driveway; her legs gave out by the time she had reached the doorstep. Although her arms felt heavy, she forced herself to knock on the door, praying that he would answer.
