The One

Fear is what some thrive on,

Fear is when a loved one is hurt,

But fear is worst when your death is what will cure the one you love,

What can you do when you're the one?

The silence echoed across the sky, the car moved steadily down the wet road without disturbing the night. The sky was sinister and the moon was hidden between the trees. The streets lay bare with no movement; the layer of darkness in the night magnified the fear and anxiety.

The past few weeks in Mystic Fall only contained chaos and danger, random killings, murders. I felt a chill creep up my spine from the thoughts.

Making my way to the Salvatore house tonight seemed to take all eternity. The hardest part was getting out the house. In Mystic Falls going out when its dark has clearly become forbidden. However I seemed to convince Jenna that it was a matter of life and death. Stefan would kill me if he saw me arrive on the steps of his house this late; it would drive him up the wall. And well Damon would be giving me the typical Damon looks which include flashing a mouthful of teeth.

Forgetting all the drama in my life, I put my full concentration back on the road. I strained my eyes to see through the shadows cast overhead by the tall trees. There ahead I saw a figure, a person standing in the middle of the road. My mind became clouded and my feet fumbled for the brakes and pushed down roughly. The car came to a sudden stop throwing me forward, the seatbelt crushed into my stomach and I felt nausea creeping up and I closed my eyes for a split second.

Quickly pushing open the door, I stumbled out the car. My eyes quickly scanned around the night. I could feel my heart in my ears and my hands sweating rapidly. On the other path a body lay motionless with a puddle of dark thick blood. The lifeless body was damaged in an inhuman way. The horror seemed to wash over me. A piece of shredded paper was stuck on the body, written in red bold writing were the words 'the one'. I grabbed the closest tree to steady myself, coldness shot up my arm. My body trembled with terror. The world around me seemed to blur and then there was nothing.
