21 Seconds
Chapter 1
Elena winced as she opened her eyes trying to remember what happened. It all happened in twenty one seconds. One moment her and her friends were all in Matt's car driving to a concert out of town and the next minute they were here. Where was here? She had to look around and find out, but from what she was seeing at the moment it didn't look good.
The windows of the car were smashed out as glass sprayed over the whole road. Wait, the road. Why was she looking at the road. She looked up and saw her feet on the floor of the car. Wait the car. Now it was all coming back to her. They had crashed and the car must had flipped over on impact. She started breathing really fast. She didn't know why they crashed, but she knew she had to wake everyone up so they could get out of there. If there was a way out of here.
She looked over to the driver's side and chocked back a scream. Matt was there with a huge piece of glass lunged in his neck and another one through his skull. Blood caressed his face and his eyes were wide open. She choked back her vomit and tried really hard to turn her neck to see her other friends. She really wished she hadn't, because this would be haunting her memories for the rest of her life.
She saw her friend Bonnie's neck in an unnatural position. She was terrified to look anywhere else, but she knew she had to. She turned her neck a little more wincing at the pain of it all. She let out a scream when she saw what her brother looked like. He had glass all over his body and his throat was slit open. Tears spilled down her eyes as she looked away. She just wondered where Tyler and Caroline were. She didn't see them anywhere in the car. All she knew was that she had to get out of there before something else happened.
She tried to get her seat belt off, but it just wouldn't budge. She cried. She wanted to get out of there. All her friends in the car were dead or just barely holding on by a thread. What was worse was that she couldn't feel her legs. She looked around and found a piece of glass. She put it on the seatbelt and it finally released her. She grunted as she tried to move her legs. They wouldn't work.
Tears slipped down her eyes as she crawled out of the car and screamed. Caroline was outside of the car halfway through one of the many windows. Cuts were all over her face and she was bleeding out and bruised everywhere. A piece of glass was sticking out of her back. If she wasn't dead Elena would be surprised.
She had to gt out of here. She had no idea how badly injured she was and if any of her friends were alive they would need serious help. Elena put her hand to her face and pulled it back to reveal a lot of blood. She needed help before she died too. She just needed a plan or for someone to come. She didn't know where Tyler was, but she sure hoped he was alright.
Elena crawled out onto the road and by some miracle a car was going by this dirt road. She waved her hands as the car approached closer. It stopped and they guy driving stepped out and ran over towards her.
"Are you hurt?"
She nodded. She wasn't really sure how badly she was injured, but she knew that her legs weren't working. He examined her.
"Oh my God." he said.
She knew that wasn't a good sign. He placed her head on his lap and pulled out his phone.
"Stay with me. I'll get some help."
Elena nodded even though it hurt to do so. She finally let the tears fall knowing that this would be the day that would forever change her life.
