Year 2013.

Elena woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. She hit the button furiously, giving it a deadly look. She was hardly sleeping these days. Nightmares had invaded her mind and sometimes she was so tired that she fell asleep in class, and her grades were suffering. She stretched her arms as high as she could, enjoying the lovely smell of the sheets.

Ever since her parents died, Elena had fallen into a deep depression. She barely ate and kept it together for the sake of her younger brother, Jeremy. But now, it was almost February and she felt the need to move on, to find new hobbies, start a new life.

It was going well until she had mysteriously become sick. It was then that the nightmares started, and she couldn't understand what was causing them. The dreams were complicated, haunting.

She sighed and hopped off the bed, changing to a fresh white top and a denim skirt. Grabbing her leather jacket, she was greeted by the nice smell of coffee and bacon.

"Is there enough for me?" She asked her aunt and legal guardian, Jenna.

The strawberry blonde looked at her in surprise. It had been a while since Elena had something to eat, especially breakfast. "Of course," Jenna smiled at her, handing Elena a plate full of bacon and eggs. "It's nice to see you smile, Elena."

The girl blushed and dug into the bacon, sipping the coffee slowly. "To a new start," She grinned, raising the coffee cup. "I have to move on. We all do."


"You look better, Elena," Caroline hugged Elena the second she saw her. "I missed this you."

Elena smiled at her friend. "I missed me too, Caroline."

Caroline smiled apologetically before leaving for class, and Bonnie then joined in.

"Do you mind if I talk to you?" Elena asked hesitantly, and Bonnie took her hand, leading her to one of the tables in the café.

"I know what you're going to say, Elena," Bonnie hushed her before she could even speak. "You're still having those dreams."

"Yeah," Elena said, nodding her head. "They've became a routine."

"Listen, Elena," She said gently. "I know that it doesn't seem fair to you, but I can't use my powers to get inside your head. I know that it's been months now, but I can't risk it. It is too dangerous."

"I know, Bonnie. And I'm sorry, I know that your magic has its limits," Elena whispered back. "But I've been having this odd feeling that something is going to happen, that I was chosen to do something. It's a very bad feeling."

"Elena, they are just dreams," Bonnie said, shrugging. "You were in a coma for almost a year. It's been three months. You have to give yourself time to heal and time to move on. I know you are trying to, but it's still early. Your parents had been gone for a year, but for you they have only been gone for three months. It's a lot to take in."

"I haven't even got all my memories back," Elena sighed. "Sometimes I think that the dreams are some twisted version of my life before the accident. I feel like a part of me is missing, and I don't know why."

"You'll get your memories back, Elena," Bonnie said gently, taking her hand. "You just need time. You'll be okay."

"I miss them so much. I woke up this morning determined to move on, but now…I feel like I can't do it. I can't wake up every morning, force myself to eat breakfast and then go out smiling when I know that my parents are dead. My mouth aches from forcing so many smiles."

Bonnie was unable to say anything, but she nodded her head in understanding. "I'm sorry, Elena. I really am."


By the time Elena arrived home it was eight pm and freezing. She went in the kitchen, ate dinner and started to work on her homework. She wanted to become a writer, and before the coma she was doing well in school. At least that's what Jenna said.

At nine pm exactly, her phone rang.

"Hey Elena, it's Caroline. Do you want to meet up at the Grill? Matt and Bonnie are here too. It'd be nice to catch up…properly."

"Thanks Caroline, but I have so much homework," She sighed. "Maybe next time?"

"Screw the homework! Are you coming or not?"

"Okay fine," She said, "Just give me a few minutes, I'll be there."


"There she is," Caroline said excitedly the moment Elena arrived. Three girls whipped their heads around when they saw Elena. It was natural for everyone to feel bad whenever Elena arrived. She looked great in everything, even in simple jeans. But Elena was never one to brag. She smiled shyly at Matt and the latter moved so that he could kiss her cheek. He might've been her ex-boyfriend, but he still cared about her very much.

"Hey, Elena," He smiled warmly at her. "How are you doing?"

"I'm better, thanks," She tried to convince him, and then she looked around. "Though I really need a drink…"

"I'll get you one," He smirked, not caring about the legal drinking age at all. "Vodka?"

"Sure."

"You never drink," Bonnie accused.

"Can't I be different for once?"

"Elena…"

"Look, Bonnie. It's just a drink, okay? It's no big deal," She said, and she reached out for the glass, downing it in one big sip. She felt the alcohol burn her throat and she coughed several times. "I love the feeling," She smiled, "I'm going to get another one."


"I'll drive her home myself," Bonnie looked at a bubbly and laughing Elena. "She's drunk out of her mind. I'm not going to let her drive."

"Yeah, you do that," Matt said. "She needed this."

"It would've been nicer if she didn't throw up," Caroline added. "But anyway."

"I'll take care of her," Bonnie muttered. "See you in the morning, guys."

A couple of minutes later Bonnie half-carried her friend to the car, and with great care she also managed to walk her to the patio where she rang the bell impatiently. Jenna opened the door confused.

"Don't you have the keys?" She asked, but stopped when she saw Elena.

"She drank too much," Bonnie explained quickly. "I have to go. She'll be ok though. If you need anything call me."

"Thanks, Bonnie," Jenna reached out for Elena, and the latter stumbled inside.

"I will not permit this type of behaviour, Elena," Jenna raised her voice at her niece, but Elena simply removed her high heels and stumbled upstairs, managing to change into a white nightdress.

"Goodnight," She called out, throwing herself on the bed. She was asleep after five minutes.


She felt different, strange. As if the energy was draining off her. Her nose was bleeding again, and her head felt heavy as if she was carrying a rock. Those blue eyes pierced right through her, eyes that showed evil, coldness. The word 'chosen' was echoing, and Elena put her hands on her ears to block away the voices. Go away, she thought. Please go away.

She looked at her hands and screamed when she saw them full with red blood.

Elena shot up from bed, panting heavily. She drank half the glass of water in an instant and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She hated this.

Sighing, she got her diary and started to write her thoughts, her dreams. This journal held every dream she had since the coma, and sometimes she'd look at it.

She put the diary away impatiently and closed her eyes, hoping to get some decent sleep.


Elena felt cold. It was weird, since her room was usually very warm and sometimes it was the sun's heat that woke her up in the morning. But this time she felt cold, as if all the blankets were ripped off her. She yawned and opened her eyes but she immediately realized that it was a huge mistake.

She wasn't in her bedroom anymore. She was feeling weak, and she was on the cold and hard ground. She looked around her in confusion. Where the hell was she? Was this a dream? It felt so real though.

She looked at the sky to see the stars shining brightly, the moonlight's reflection making them look like diamonds. As she looked at herself, she realized that she was still in her white nightdress, and she shivered as a cold breeze hit her.

The place seemed beautiful, and Elena looked around her to see lots and lots of trees and a beautiful waterfall. She walked to it and out there in the moonlight she thought that it must be the most beautiful sight she had ever seen in her life. If she wasn't frightened and confused she would have been glad to stay there all night.

Then, all of a sudden, she felt something-someone-pulling her by her arm, harshly. She screamed and thrashed, but it was all for nothing. Whoever it was had a tight grip on her. In fact, it was so tight that her body gave out and she lost consciousness.
