The Vampire Diaries : From Evan Adams eyes Chapter 2, a vampire diaries fanfic

2. Faded memories.

Pain. That was the first thing she felt when she woke up. Pain was good. It meant that you are alive. Evan blinked her eyes a few times to get her eyes adjusted to the bright lights in her hospital room. She turned to her left and saw her mother sleeping there on a chair, and smiled sadly. But her smile vanished and a scared look came on her face as she remembered what happened the night before. It was impossible, yes, but it was the truth.

Vampires were real. And one attacked her.

She touched the right side of her neck, where she felt a bandage. But she clearly remembered the piercing pain she felt when the vampire sank its fangs in her neck. For the first time, in a long time, she felt completely and and utterly, helpless. She didn't know what she would do about this. No one would believe her, thinking that it would be the stress of the attack making her think stupid things, and then maybe put her in the mental illness section of the hospital.

Her eyes snapped towards her mom when she heard some shuffling. Her mom was waking up from her slumber. Relief flooded on her face when she saw her Anne looking at her with a small weak smile. She immediately stood from the chair, and hugged her daughter as close as possible without hurting.

"I'm okay, mom." Her daughter comforted her. "I'm right here. I'm not leaving you."

"I knew I shouldn't have let you go to that stupid party." Her mom muttered.

"It's okay. It wasn't your fault, mom."

"They are going to keep her under observation for over night so they could make sure she doesn't get an infection." Matt told Elena as they walked away from the school. "So She should be able to go home tomorrow."

Matt was worried about his best friend. He didn't even wanted to think what would have happened if his sister and Jeremy wouldn't have found her in the woods. His heart ached thinking how he would be able to live without his best friend. Evan was his rock, who kept him strong throughout everything that he went through. He never will be able to survive without her support.

"That's good new." The voice of his ex-girlfriend stopped his train of thoughts. "How is her mom doing?"

"She stayed with her the whole night, holding her hand, never leaving her. She looked so scared about the thought of loosing her daughter."

Unknown to both of them, Stefan Salvatore was listening in on their conversation, with the help of his sharp hearing. He wanted to hear the condition of his friend. He wished he could have done something to help her, anyway he could have stopped his brother from attacking her. She didn't deserve this. None of the people who had died deserved it.

"Evan is lucky to be still alive." Elena said in relief that her friend was okay.

"Yeah. And now there's this talk about some missing campers."

"Did she say what kind of an animal it was that attacked her?"

"She said it was a vampire."

Stefan immediately tensed after hearing this.

"What?"

"Yeah. She wakes up last night, mutters 'vampire' and passes out."

"Okay. That's weird."

"I think she was drunk."

But Stefan thought other wise. He knew that he'd have to do something about it. He couldn't risk Evan telling anyone else about vampires. There were still people who knew about the vampires. If anyone of them heard what Evan had to say, his life could be in danger.

"So what's up with you and the new guy?"

"Matt, you know the last thing I want to do is hurt you."

"You know, I'm actually gonna go to the hospital. I want to she if Evan woke up yet. And then get the real story about last night."

"Okay." Elena said before Matt turned around and walked away.

Evan was becoming paranoid. Her mom had left for work, when Evan had insisted that she was okay, and that she was going to be fine. So she was all alone in the room, with her thoughts about the vampires. She freaked out every time a nurse or any other staff entered her room, expecting it to be the vampire coming to finish its job. She couldn't help but think that why it had left her alive. She connected the dots and come to the conclusion, that all the animal attacks, were actually the victims of the vampire.

She got of her bed and entered the bathroom that was connected to her room. She stood in front of the mirror, and washed her face. It didn't help that all the pills were making her brain go all loopy and made her think that the vampire was watching her.

When Matt entered her room he saw that the bed was empty. He immediately panicked and turned around to get a nurse, only to almost bump into Evan, who looked like she was going to pass out.

"Hey Evan. Hey. Its Matt. What's wrong?" Matt said before holding her shoulders.

Evan looked into his blue eyes, which immediately reminded her of the eyes of her attacker which were also blue, the last thing she saw before she passed out. She immediately started trashing her arms around, trying to get out of the hold Matt had on her. She didn't get to fight the list time, she was sure as hell not going down without a fight this time. She didn't wanted to get bitten again. The thought scared her.

"No!" Evan shouted scared. "Let me go!"

"Evan! It me!" Matt shouted trying to snap Evan out of it.

"No!" Evan shouted again getting out of Matt's grip, and backing up against the bed.

Matt, not knowing what to do anymore, immediately ran out of the room shouting for a nurse.

Evan was holding her head in her hands and sobbing, scared out her mind, when Stefan entered the room. He quickly grabbed her face and made her look in his eyes.

"Calm down." Stefan compelled her first, and she immediately stopped shouting and crying. She just stared at him with a blank face. "It was an animal that attacked you. It came out at the night, and jumped you. You blacked out. Its all you remember."

"Its all I remember." Evan repeated in a monotone voice.

"An animal attacked you. You blacked out. Its all you remember."

"Its all I remember." Evan repeated before her eyes rolled inside her head and she passed out. Stefan picked her up before she fell on the floor and lied her on the bed, and tucked her in before quickly leaving the room.

Matt was surprised to see Evan sleeping peacefully on the bed.

"She seems fine to me." The nurse said before leaving.

Evan was sitting bored on her bed with a tray of food in front of her. Matt had fallen asleep on the chair after a while. Evan picked up an apple and smiled, when an idea came to her. She threw the apple on Matt, before chuckling as Matt woke up with a start.

"Glad to see sleeping beauty's finally awake." Evan joked with a smile.

Evan was feeling weird. As if she was forgetting something important. And for some reason she was feeling a bit scared of something, but she brushed it aside blaming it on the hospital fumes and pills which made her feel loopy.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" Matt asked sitting up."You look better. I was worried about you, and you freaked me out with all that screaming."

"What are you talking about?" Evan asked confused.

"You don't remember?"

"Matt, I think I would remember if I had a freak attack."

"Good. I heard from your mom that you where going to go home tomorrow." Matt informed her. He debated weather to ask her or not, but decided to just ask her. "Evan, what attacked you in the wood?"

"An animal." Evan answered confused."What else could it have been?"

Just then Evan's other best friend entered her room. Evan and Vicky smiled brightly at each other, before hugging each other.

"I was worried about you, you bitch." Vicky said releasing Evan from the hug.

"Glad to hear that, Ho." Evan said with a smirk.

Matt watched with a smile as both the girls greeted each other with insults. He never understood their weird way of showing their concern towards each other. Whenever one was concerned about the other, they'd insult each other and then laugh together. It was a weird but a very strong friendship between them, which they both valued.

Evan whimpered in her sleep, as her dreams were turned into a nightmare about a black haired blue eyes man, who was hunting her. The last thing she saw was the man biting at her neck, before she woke up. She was breathing heavily, when she quickly sat up. She relaxed a bit when she saw her mom sleeping on the make shift bed. She pushed the covers off of her and walked into the bathroom, to wash her face, and get rid of the nightmare from her head. But something told her it was something more than a nightmare. That it actually happened.

Evan was washing her hands when something in the reflection caught her eye. She yelped before turning around and saw that the black haired blue eyed man wasn't there. She turned the tap off before walking out of the bathroom and towards her mom.

"Mom?" Evan said trying to wake her up.

She raised her hand trying to shake her mom awake, when her mom quickly sat up. Only it wasn't her mom, it was the black haired blue eyed man with fangs instead of teeth.

Evan immediately woke up from her nightmare, and sat up on the bad. She noticed that she was alone in the room, than her mom was never there.

Evan happily walked around the towns square after getting released from the hospital. She was wearing a V-neck blue top with the Minnie Mouse on it, and black ripped skinny jeans. She was wearing her regular wolf locket, with a locket with black beads in it. Her dads watch shined proudly on her left wrist, and a ring with a black stone on her right hand index finger. She wore a brown leather jacket, and a pair of brown knee high boots. She kept her hair down to hide the bandage that was on her neck. The red stripes in her hair looked more wild, due to the few curls that her hair formed after she washed it and didn't bother to straightened it.

Evan entered the grill looking for one of her best friend, instead she found the second person she was looking for.

"Yo, Gilbert!" She shouted to gain his attention while walking towards him.

Jeremy turned around and saw the last person he expected to talk to him. Evan Adams. Sure, he had helped in saving her life by carrying her out of the woods, but he didn't expect her to talk to him. Now that he thought of it, he should have expected it. Yes, Evan Adams was popular, and hot, and older than him, but she always tried to help others with their problems without expecting much back. She was probably the most nicest and awesome girl he had ever met. They were kind of, friends, he thought. Cause they have talked one or twice outside of school, whenever Matt would visit Elena, she would sometimes tag along. But that was before Elena broke up with Matt.

"Hey, Evan." He greeted back. "How's your neck?" He said pointing towards her bandaged neck.

"It's been better." Evan said with a small smile. "I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Vicky told me about how you helped me out of the woods, when you both found me. So, I just wanted to say thank you."

"It's no problem." Jeremy said with a smile.

"You're a nice guy, Jeremy. I think you'd be good for Vicky." Evan said with a small smile, before patting his arm and walking towards the bar, to get some coffee.

Evan leaned against the bar, besides a black haired guy, and smiled at the bartender.

"Hey, Ben!" She greeted the bartender.

"Hiya, Adams." Ben greeted back. "Coffee?"

"You know it." She said with a smile. She then turned towards the black haired guy. She stared at him. She knew him. She didn't knew how, but she just knew him.

"See something you like, sweetheart?" Asked the black haired stranger with a smirk, when he noticed her staring.

"I know you." Evan softly said.

"Well, that's unfortunate." Said the stranger.

"I don't know how, but I know you. Its just your face..." Evan trailed off. She then shook her to clear her thoughts. "Never mind. I must have confused you with someone else." She said with a smile. Then she turned towards the bartender. "Make that coffee to go, will ya ,Ben."

Evan didn't know why, but she felt scared from the stranger. She just couldn't help but remember her nightmares. She nervously bit her bottom lip, while playing with her wolf locket.

Damon looked at the girl next to her. He didn't get a good look at her the night before, but now that he looked at her, he couldn't help but feel glad that he left her alive. Cause he wouldn't mind grabbing another bite, or two.

Evan looked up when the coffee was kept in front of her in a styrofoam cup. After paying for the coffee, she quickly left the grill and started walking around the square, away from everybody, while drinking her warm coffee. Suddenly, she was grabbed by the waist and her mouth was covered so she couldn't scream. In surprise, she dropped her coffee on the side walk, before she was dragged away at inhuman speed.

Matt looked around the square, searching for his best friend who was missing. She told him that she was going to get coffee, but then she never came back.

"Hey." Matt greeted Stefan. Stefan was kind of a friend of Evan, so he figured he must have seen her.

"Hey." Stefan greeted back.

"Have you seen Evan? I can't find her. She's missing."

"No. I'll keep an eye out for her." Stefan said before turning to walk away.

"Hey." Matt said to stop him. He continued when Stefan turned around to look at him. "I saw you at the hospital, yesterday."

"Did you?"

"What were you doing there?"

"Visiting." Was all Stefan said.

"Visiting?" Matt repeated in a tone, which clearly told Stefan that Matt didn't believe him. "You know, Elena and I have known each other for a long time, and we might not be together right now, but I look out for her. And I'll always look out for her."

Stefan nodded in understanding, before her heard Evans scream, and Damons calm voice.

"No! Let go of me!" He heard Evan sob.

"Shh. It's alright. I got ya." He heard Damon saying.

"Excuse me." Stefan said to Matt before walking towards where he heard Evan and Damon. Stefan found Evan and Damon on a ledge of a building, where Damon was threatening to drop her. He used his own inhuman speed to reach the roof of the building.

"Not bad. Have you been eating bunnies?" Damon said while holding the scared girl by an arm, and covering her mouth with his other hand.

"Let her go." Stefan said to his brother, while looking at his scared friend, who had tears streaming down her face.

"Really? Okay." Damon said before pretending to throw her all the ledge, before throwing her towards Stefan. "I don't need her to be dead, but, you might."

Stefan tried to comfort the scared girl in his arms, who was sobbing with fear. Damon looked kind of proud that he had caused that fear in that girl.

"What attacked you the other night?" Damon asked her with a smirk.

"An animal attacked me." Evan answered confused as to why he was asking her this question.

"Are you sure about that?" Damon asked snatching Evan from Stefan's arms, before making her look at him. "Think." He told her. "Think about it. Think really hard." He said holding her face in his hands.

Evan thought really hard about that night, when everything came flooding in. Loud and clear, in just one word. Vampires.

"A vampire! You! You attacked me!" Evan cried out and tried to get out of Damons grip, but he just held her tighter. "Let me go!"

"Wrong!" Damon said gleefully. "Stefan Salvatore did this to you." He compelled her.

"Don't." Stefan warned his brother, but he was too late.

"Stefan Salvatore did to me." Evan repeated, with a sudden fear against Stefan that started to grow inside her.

"He's a vampire. A vicious, murderous, monster." Damon said.

"Please. Damon, don't. Please, don't do this." Stefan begged his brother.

"You couldn't fix it before. I don't know whatcha gonna do now." Damon said before ripping the bandage off Evans neck, which cause blood to come out. Evan cried out in pain as she felt some of her skin rip out. Damon pushed the pathetic sobbing mess of a girl in his brothers arms.

Evan who was compelled to think that Stefan attack her, tried to get away from Stefan, but Stefan kept his grip tight on his scared friend.

"Your choice of life style has made you weak." Damon taunted his brother. "Couple of vampire parlor tricks, it nothing compared to the power that you could have. That you now need." Veins were becoming visible under Stefan's eyes. "But you can change that. Human blood, gives you that."

Stefan pushed Evan away from himself. The desire to drink the blood, was burning inside of him. But he couldn't do that. He couldn't do that to Evan. He wouldn't.

Evan, who was scared for her life, tried to crawl away from both of them. But Damon quickly grabbed her, picked her up from the ground, and held her tightly to his side so she couldn't run away.

"You have two choices." Damon informed his brother, as he held the bleeding girl. "You can feed and make her forget. Or you can let her scream 'vampire' around the town square."

"That's what this is about? You want to expose me?" Stefan asked his brother.

"No! I want you to remember who you are!"

"Why? So I'll feed? So I'll kill? So I'll remember what it to be like brothers again?" Stefan asked. "You know what? Let her go. Let her tell everyone that vampires have returned to mystic falls. Let them chain me up, and let them drive a stake through my heart. Because at least I'll be free of you."

Damon looked at Stefan, as if he was impressed. He chuckled a few times.

"Wow." Damon said before turning to Evan who was still struggling in his arms, and whispering in her ear, which immediately calmed her down. He ran his fingers through her hair in a soothing way, while he compelled her to forget.

Evans mind felt like it was drugged a few times. She felt loopy and weird. She couldn't remember what happened with her in the last half hour.

"What happened?" She asked Stefan confused. "Where am I? Stefan?"

"Are you okay?" Stefan asked concerned.

"Yeah. Crap! I ripped my stitches open." Evan said while touching her bloody neck. "I'm gonna go back to the grill." She said before practically running away from the building and towards the grill.

Matt was relieved when he saw Evan, walk in the doors of the mystic grill. She told him that she went for a walk to clear her head and get some fresh air.

In this world of news, I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure
Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth
Could be fact and form
That love could be a verb
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed

Evan felt guilty when she saw how worried Matt was, and told him that she was sorry. But he just waved her apology away, and told her that he would always worry about his best friend. Matt helped Evan put a fresh bandage on her neck, before getting her another coffee.

Matt looked up when he saw Stefan enter the Grill. As much as he wanted to hate him, cause Elena liked him, he couldn't help but think that he is a good guy. So, when Stefan's eyes landed on him, he gave him a smile and a grateful nod, which he returned, before walking away after sending Evan, who waved at him, a small smile.

As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our skies tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired

When Stefan entered the grill to look for Elena, his eyes found Matt, who gave him a nod, which he returned, and Evan, who gave him a bright smile and a wave which made his stomach knot in guilt, for what his brother did to him.

Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love

After a while Matt left to play pool with his other guy friends, leaving Evan alone with her lukewarm coffee. She looked towards the pool table to look for Matt, but instead she saw Vicky and Tyler making out. It made her heart ache that her best friend probably didn't even noticed that she went missing. Instead she was busy making out with a guy, who treated her like trash. Then, her eyes found Jeremy Gilbert, who was watching Vicky and Tyler with a heart broken expression. That made Evans heart ache even more, that Vicky was choosing Tyler, over such a sweet guy like Jeremy.

Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites

Jeremy looked away from Vicky and Tyler, when he heard his name being called. He turned to the left and noticed Evan sitting in one of the booths, alone, and waving at him to come over. He looked at Vicky and Tyler one more time, before walking towards Evan and sitting across from her. When he sat across from her, she slid his coffee towards him as a sorry, for what her best friend was doing to him, and he nodded in understanding. She leaned closer to him across to table, before motioning him to come closer. Jeremy obeyed.

"Wanna play a game?" She asked with her eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Seriously?" He scoffed.

"Trust me. You're gonna love this game." She said with a smirk while taking her coffee back.

"Okay. What game?"

"Who can insult Tyler Lockwood more? You start." She said before snapping her finger at him, which made him chuckle lightly.

"Tyler Lockwood is a scared dick, who only says things but never does them." Jeremy angrily said with a bitter smile.

"Ha ha. Good. I think Tyler Lockwood was born from a cat, cause he is such a big pussy."

Jeremy laughed out loud after she said that, causing Evan to smile brightly. She couldn't do anything about who Vicky chose to be with, but the least she could do was make Gilbert Jr. feel a little bit lighter for a while, and just give him what he needs. A friend to talk to.
