AN; Hello and welcome to my new Vampire Diaries story, Not Weak, which I am Co-riding with Queen Mab the Second. We hope you enjoy this first chapter and please we would love to read your feedback. Please note There well be new supernaturals.
"I can't believe you went against your mom and I, Elena, when we said you couldn't go, we meant you couldn't go- and another thing, i don't know how I feel about that- what was his name again? Mark? Mitch?"
Elena rolled her eyes as she said; "Matt dad, his name is Matt."
"I don't care, You are grounded young lady." her dad said. Elena's respond was just to turn away and closed her eyes.
"Shit" yelled Mr Gilbert suddenly before a crashing sound was heard.
Elena jerked and her eyes shot open, then she looked around her. She was in her bedroom, her bedroom at home and not the car, not the car.
she closed her eyes again in relief, it was just the dream again.
A grown escaped her lips as she slowly opened her eyes again, then quickly closed them again and she realized how achingly hard her head hurt as she tried to recall this particular memory. what? what happened? she was driving in the car, her dad was scolding her, and then- she sat up gingerly.
She was on the riverbank? she looked out and froze as she saw her parents car syncing into the water. She cried and tried to get up, but she claps back onto the ground and watched it all go down.
Then there was a knock at her bedroom door that snapped her out of her memory.
"Elena, Elena sweetie it's time to get up. it's your first day back at school." her Aunt Jenna called.
"K Aunt Jenna. I'll be down in a few minutes." she said as she took a deep breath and opened her eyes for the final time. Getting up from her bed, she grabbed her selected clothes and went to hop in the shower. As she did, her mind wandered again.
She laid there on the riverbank, just staring up at the night sky. She could hear ambulance sirens in the distance, she knew those must be for her parents, and even thougth she didn't know for certain, she had a pretty good feeling that that family had just dwindled down to her and her brother Jeremy. There's no way her parents could still be alive after being submerged in the car for what now must have been around 30 minutes, she realised as she cried quietly.
Shaking the thoughts out of her head and gently slapping her cheeks, she dried herself of, grabbing her book bag and books from her room and got dressed before making her way down to the kitchen.
"Morning Elena. What would you like for Breakfast? I can make scrambled eggs." Jenna said.
Elena put her bag and coat down on the chair, then turned her attention to her aunt "No thanks, Aunt Jenna. I'll just have a coffee," the brown hair girl said well pouring herself said beverage. "And a breakfast bar." She said as she took her coffee and breakfast bar, which was chocolate and peanut butter with almonds, as well as her bag and coat and went into the living room, where she grabbed a book from her bag and started reading as she mindlessly eight and drunk her breakfast.
she had just finished her breakfast bar and got halfway through her cup of coffee when her phone rang. picking it up, she answered it.
"Hi Bonnie, good morning." she said well placing her bookmark in her book and placed it carefully back in her bag as she got up from the couch to return her coffee cup to the kitchen as well as throw away her bar wrapper.
"Are you ready? I'm nearly there." Bonnie asked.
" yeah I'm ready, I just finished putting my coffee cup in the sink and threw away my trash. I'll be outside in 15."
"kay, be there shortly, buy." Bonnie said before hanging up the phone.
"Buy" she said, then put her phone away.
Then from the kitchen, she called out to her brother.
"Jeremy? Jerry up yet? Your going to be late for school" she called out, but got no response. Then she looked at the kitchen counter and saw that the two small piles of money, which was their lunch money for the week was now one pile. which meant that her brother was already gone.
Shrugging, Elena gathered up her bag and put her coat on before grabbing her key and Lunch money and went outside, locking up the house and waiting for Bonnie.
When Bonnie arrived, Elena hurried up and got into her car.
"Hey sis, good morning." Bonnie said as she pulled back onto the street and made her way towards the school.
A few blocks away from Elena's house, Bonnie quickly flicked her eyes towards Elena before facing back on the road and said,
"So get this... I had this weird dream the other night, like right now I don't like remember it at all, but I remember that right after I woke up, it was clear as day and so now because something happened on the news that mirrored my dream, Grams is telling me I'm psychic, like she said that our ancestors were from Salem? seriously Salem?" Bonnie rolled her eyes she glanced at Elena, flexing her fingers on the steering wheel.
Elena just stared unmoving as she listened and Bonnie continued.
"I was like oh my goodness, well somebody take away her happy drugs?" Bonnie said well slightly laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. Still listening, Elena turned her head and gazed out of the car window as they drove past a small Cemetery.
Her mind wandered back to that night.
"what do we got?"
"17 year old girl, thrown from the car just before it went over a bridge. She has a little water in her lungs, so she must have washed up on the bank. superficial head wound, high pulse..."
"Elena? Hey Elena, come back in the car."
Elena jumped, Bonnie's voice breaking through the fog of the past.
"I did it again, didn't I?" she said well sighing, Bonnie gently muttered affirmatively.
"Sorry Bonnie, what were you saying?"
Bonnie nodded. "I was saying that I'm psychic now."
"Oh, okay then, predict something." Elena said only half skeptic.
"Okay, I predict that this year is going to be the most amazing year for you and that you'll find love." as the two started laughing at her prediction, Bonnie quickly had to step on her brakes, making the car and the two of them jerk as something black jumped out in front of her car windshield, causing them to Swerve slightly, then stop abruptly.
"Oh my gosh, Elena are you okay?" Bonnie asked a bit shaken, she wanted to say more but she couldn't think of anything to say.
"Yeah I'm fine, no seriously I'm okay, I'm okay. I think that was a bird or something."
Bonnie gave her friend another quick head-to-toe glance before starting the car again and finally making it to the school.
The parking lot was nearly full when the duo finally got to school.
"There's one free space over there." Elena said well pointing out an empty spot.
" I see it." Bonnie said, going around the bend. when they finally got the car parked, they grabbed their bags and got out of the car, making their way towards the school.
As they entered through the school doors, Bonnie said, "Hope you enjoyed your time away, because you are now walking into the fiery pits of Hades." she laughed as they continued walking down the hall.
Elena grimaced at that comment, but offered no reply as Bonnie scanned the Hall way for potential boyfriends,
"There are no good candidates that I see so far for dating material, ugh and why is Shirley Blue clashing a polka dots shirt and a plaid skirt?" Bonnie said/asked with a disguised frown.
Elena just shrugged, she didn't really care what Shirley Blue was wearing, and then she spotted Matt Donovan down the hall at his locker and waved at him... well okay she really just lifted her hand. But Matt didn't respond, instead he just looked down and grabbed something, Elena guest a book, from his locker, then shuts it and walks down the hall., completely ignoring everything else.
Elena turned back to Bonnie for some help, she had no idea what to do about the Matt situation. she thought that at the party before her parents came and got her out, that he was going to make a move, Make Them official official, but...
That was then and this is now and she still had no answer.
"Elena!" Elena was pulled out of her thoughts buy a tackle hug that slightly pushed her into the lockers, curtsy of Caroline, her way to cheerful and bubbly blond friend.
She just padded Caroline shoulder as the girl hugged her and said 'how are you' 'and I've been thinking of you,' 'and you're looking so much better'
As if Elena had been in the hospital for some terminal illness rather than being utterly depressed by the death of her parents.
just as it came, the hug from Caroline and Caroline herself vanish down the hall Yelling goodbye over her shoulder.
Bonnie and Elena stared at each other blinking before simultaneously saying.
"No comment."
