Authors Note: Okay guys, this was a random thought that came to my mind today so I decided to play it out…setting a few years in the future. I would really appreciate it if everyone read it and reviewed so I know if I should continue or not. I'm still working on Even in Death but I will be able to do both, but I won't if I don't see a lot of people enjoying this when I can focus on my other fic =)
This was written in a span of a half hour but if I continue it, I will go through and re-do the prologue so no worries lol
Ps this is going to be an Elena Elijah fic and for now I will rate T
Please let me know what you think!
Prologue
"All right guys I'll see you later!"
Elena waved goodbye to her friends as they left the Grill to celebrate her 24th birthday. They never got to see each other as often since Elena was away at college in California, Caroline had an internship with some magazine in New York, and Bonnie stayed in Mystic Falls…mostly trying to keep the supernatural at bay.
As she walked through The Grill parking lot, Elena reminisced about the good times she had at Mystic Falls.
She remembered her fun high school times with her friends mostly, since that was all the fun she could remember.
Everything else about her time in Mystic Falls had been surrounded by the death of her loved ones.
She remembered the accident on the bridge where she lost her parents, she remembered losing Aunt Jenna just over a year later, she remembered Bonnie losing Grams, Vicki's death, her birth mother, and Uncle Jon.
Naturally she couldn't forget about Alaric.
There were so many deaths here…
There was a part of her that missed it still, but that part of her was overshadowed by the hatred, the regret.
Elena contemplated visiting the Salvatores during her short stay, but she couldn't bring herself to it.
She had almost died that last night.
They almost didn't save her; they were going to allow her to die, just so she could be with them forever.
That was not what she wanted.
Elena propped herself on the hood of her car, thinking about where her life had taken her. She was a college student now, and even though she had taken a few years off to get herself settled in California she was going to graduate with her Bachelor's degree in English Literature.
She was going to be a writer.
While looking at the stars, she laughed to herself slightly.
A Bachelor's degree she shook her head. What an improvement.
She considered calling Bonnie, hoping maybe she could stay at her house for the night. She missed their girl talk.
She considered calling Caroline, and asking If she wanted company on the flight back to New York, she had the entire weekend free and she had money saved up.
She could use the break.
With a huff, Elena hopped into her rental and decided to go for a drive.
There was an odd beauty about Mystic Falls, she wasn't about to let it go to waste.
Bonnie told her she didn't have to worry about the Originals anymore, they all seemed to have left town after she desiccated Klaus.
Klaus
Her blood boiled at the thought of the Original hybrid that nearly ruined her life.
She would never forget all of the lives he had ended in her name. All because he had to have the doppelganger.
Elena drove close to the bridge, but had to stop, the memories of her past crashing into her like the rush of water that nearly took her life.
Elena!
Elena!
She felt a cold slap across her face. Elena opened her eyes to see Jeremy staring at her with worry.
"What happened?" she grumbled, struggling to get up.
"No Elena, keep your head down." It was Doctor Fell
The flashback went away nearly as quickly as it came, leaving Elena angrier than before.
Damon and Stefan had told the doctor to let her die.
She had vampire blood in her system after all. Luckily Meredith wasn't about to let it happen, and gave her more blood instead…thus saving her life.
At least…that's how Jeremy put it.
Elena wasn't sure what the truth was.
Would the Salvatores really allow her to die?
She had always brushed it off as then just not caring enough about her humanity.
They could have saved her; instead they almost let her die.
Elena turned her car around and drove onto the highway.
She was going to drive a bit more. Then she was going to go home to California, and live her life to the fullest.
That will show them.
Elena had only been driving on the main road for a half hour, listening to her music, checking out how much Mystic Falls had always remained frozen in time.
This town would never change.
She pulled over when she saw a man on the side of the road holding onto his chest writhing in pain.
"Hey, are you okay?" She stepped out of the car, ready to go and help him.
"Please! Call 9-1-1 I've been shot!" Elena ran to him, she had seen enough episodes of ER to have an idea of what to do until they arrived…right?
"Okay I'm here, hold on."
She hadn't dialed the police yet.
She approached the man, but never got to see his face and she went to put pressure on the wound that should have been there.
It was only blood.
"Thanks for that" he growled as he bit into his wrist.
Oh no!
Elena knew all too well what this would mean. She tried to get up, but she knew he was too fast for her.
"No! Please!" She silently begged
Not again!
The stranger, who's voice she had not recognized, who's face she couldn't see forced his blood down her throat.
She couldn't fight him, it was too late.
"Perfect" the man growled again like an animal, this time with more conviction than before.
She felt her life slip away as he suffocated her.
He was going to make her feel this pain.
He wanted to watch her die.
All right that's the prologue! Let me know what you guys think please please please =)
