In My Veins
Chapter 1
Gravel bit into the hallow of Elena's shoulder as she gritted her teeth together trying to get her eyes to open. It felt as if her body had went through a garbage compactor and spit out as she finally managed to open her eyes the rest of the way. Where the hell was she? All she remembered was that she had been at her friend Caroline's house and than the next moment she was here. Why was she here anyway? And how the hell did she get there without any collective memory of how the hell she had gotten there.
Wining she sat up and looked around finally realizing where she was. But how had she gotten to the construction sight that her dad had been working on in the first place? Something cold and hard was grasped in her hand as she looked down and gasped at what she saw.
Elena held a knife in her hand and noticed that a red sticky substance had covered it and her hands. What the hell had happened? She dropped the knife and got up looking down to realize that not only were her hands covered in blood but her whole entire body was as well. What the hell was going on here?
Slowly she turned her head and a scream erupted from her throat as she looked upon the most horrible sight. Her friend Caroline had multiple stab wounds on her body as she swung from what looked like a hook. What twisted son of a bitch would do that?
She quickened her pace as she got Caroline off and fell down to the harsh gravel with her friends dead body in her hands. Elena cried out in anguish as she held Caroline close. Who the hell would do this? And that's when it hit her. She dropped the knife and Caroline as she looked art the blood on hr body. Caroline's blood. No. She refused to accept that. She couldn't have killed her best friend. Could she? She couldn't remember the past couple of hours. No. She couldn't have done this to her and yet she didn't want to be caught with Caroline's dead body either.
Slowly she lowered Caroline's dead body to the ground, Elena stood up looking around the construction sight for any sign she could of a shovel. She couldn't get caught for this. She wouldn't.
Finally after what seemed like a while she finally managed to find a shovel. Hours after she had started digging a hole she finally finished fighting with herself if this was the right thing to do. She had a future ahead of her and from the looks of it she would be the main suspect. She couldn't let that happen. She had worked to hard to have it all ruined by a crime she didn't even know if she committed or not.
After the hole was finished, Elena placed Caroline's body in it along with the knife after she had cleaned it off and began to fill the shallow grave. She just hoped that no ne at the construction sight would question it as she placed the last bit of dirt on her makshift grave. She knew what she was doing was horrible, but Elena felt as if she had no other choice. It was as if som ething in the back of her mind was telling her this.
She took the shovel with her as she looked around for a way out. Her car came into view as she tossed the shovel into the trunk and got in driving the streets of Mystic Falls praying that no one would see her.
Thankfully luck was on her side as she got to her house avoiding her parents and went straight up to her room to wash the blood off. After she scrubbed off the left over evidence she climbed into bed with one thought planted firmly in her mind. She was a murderer and one day she knew she was going to get caught, but today was not that day.
