Chapter One:
The sun beams through the crack of the curtain and finally reaches my covered eyes. As I open my eyes a hint of a smile escapes my lips. Today is the day that everything is perfect. Kai is dead, and Bonnie is finally back.
Dear Diary,
The Merge happened and Jo won and defeated Kai, and did I mention I got my memories back, yeah who knew that it would only take Damon to recall the night of my Birthday to have all these wonderful memories come rushing back. And of course when they came back Damon received the homecoming he deserved, which might have included a king size bed with a fire igniting the room with light. In other perfect news Bonnie's back, after the merge Jo was able to bring Bonnie back to the land of the living and well life is truly perfect.
With a smirk I close the journal, then suddenly Caroline charges in the room, "Hey what are you still doing here, don't you have class in 5 minutes?" "Oh crap, yeah", then I swiftly get dressed and quickly run out the door, but before doing so I thanked Caroline.
With 30 seconds to spare I managed to get into the classroom with Alaric greeting me with "Good Morning Elena" and I responded "Good Morning Ric". And then the class started. I wasn't totally paying attention, but I did notice that Ric seemed happier and almost relieved. With everything being resolved, all of our lives are finally right again. After class Ric came up to me, "so how are you" he asked curiously. "Good" I say sincerely "Everything finally is as close as to normal as it is going to get." "Agreed" he says. I gave him a smile. "Well I better get started on those midterms, looks like I'll need at least two bottles of Bourbon." I laughed a little "well good luck and I'll see you later" I said, "bye Elena."
As soon as I left the building my phone started ringing and as soon as I saw who the caller was, a huge smile appeared on my face. "Well hello" I said, "Well hello back" said Damon. "And what do I owe the pleasure of this call" I asked. "Well here's the thing, I'm bored," I smiled at that "and I want you to come and entertain me" he said. "Oh Damon Salvatore bored, I couldn't imagine that" I said sarcastically. "Right? Which is why I need you here now." "Ok, ok, I'll be there in a couple hours" I say.
After I get off the phone with Damon, I head to my dorm, where I start packing my stuff. Then Caroline and Bonnie come in. "Where are you going" Caroline asked. "I am going to go see Damon" I say. "What about us?" Bonnie asks, "I know, but I think you will thank me later, because rumor has it that someone is going to give you and I quote "a night to remember."" I say and Bonnie blushes at that. "And plus Care I thought you were hanging out with Stefan tonight"? I asked. "Well that's the plan" she says, "well then problem solved, I'll see you guys later and have a good night" I say and make my way to my car.
It's about 5 P.M. when I drive by the woods into Mystic Falls. Then all of a sudden my radio starts messing up, so then I look down and hit it once, and then looked up to see a woman in the middle of the road and my first reaction was to swerve and then I lose control of the car and then it flips. Then I slowly open my eyes and see the woman walking towards me, and the next thing I know, the woman bends down and stabs me in the arm with Vervain, and just like that my world goes black.
After gaining conscious and feeling extremely sore, I open my eyes and look around at my surroundings and notice the dim lighting and all I can hear is the woman who stabbed me with vervain chanting. Then all of a sudden I feel excruciating pain in my stomach and then I black out from the pain once again.
Finally I become conscious and slowly open my eyes and I feel extremely sore and an awful pain in my stomach. Then I turn over on my back and notice a glimpse of light out of the corner of my eye, and turned to see what it is. It just so happens to be the Boarding House. So I slowly get up and start walking to the door. As I walk the pain starts going away and once I reach the door the pain is mostly gone.
Once I get to the door, I open it and silently walk in. Inside Damon has a glass of Bourbon in his hand and gazing into the fire when he hears the door and immediately turns to look at me. "Where have you been" he asks worried, "you told me you would be here 6 hours ago" he says looking at me. I look at him extremely confused, and finally say "sorry, um, time must have gotten away from me", I say putting my hand on my head trying to remember what happened, but all I can remember is leaving Whitmore. Then finally letting it go, I start walking over to Damon who is now sitting and starts to relax. Once I reach him, we look at each other and then I take his glass and tell him "but I'm here now and I'm fine", assuring him, which calms him down. Then I throw the remaining of the Bourbon down my throat, and then I start coughing and Damon says Whoa slow down there", and I start coughing more violently feeling the burn in my throat and then the glass slips out of my hands and shatters on the floor. Still coughing I fall to my knees clutching my chest because I can't breathe and then Damon's on his knees by my side calling out "Elena, Elena, hey stay with me" I hear him say as he takes my face in his hands. All of a sudden I start coughing up blood and Damon puts me on my back. "What's happening to me Damon" I asked him in a hoarse voice, and then Damon grabs me and lays me in his lap. And then in his arms the veins start to consume my body and finally reach their destination, at the tip of my head, leaving my eyes to close in surrender. And the final sounds in the night are Damon's pleas for this to not be real.
