Author's Note: I know that the show started in 2009, but I'm having all the events from the first season happen in 2014(:

I woke up to the sound of a loud constant beeping noise beside me. My eyes fluttered open painfully. When my eyes finally adjusted all I saw was white. White walls, whites doors. But was confused me was what was around me, until it all registered in my head.

I'm in the hospital. I glanced around and saw that I was hooked up to an IV. The loud beeping noise was my heart monitor. Why? What happened to me?

I couldn't move. It hurt to move. I felt bruised all through my body. I glanced down at my arm and saw two large bruises on it. That's when I noticed my hand was being held by another.

I looked up and saw the back of familiar blond hair. My eyes narrowed as I registered who it was, "Mother?" I asked, not believing she was holding my hand.

Hearing my voice, my mother turned around instantly. Her eyes widened and I saw her eyes glisten with tears. Her other hand flew to her mouth as her jaw dropped. She squeezed my hand she was holding, "Ravey, you're awake!" She stood up instantly and yelled through the open hospital door, "Doctor, doctor! She's awake! My baby's awake!"

She then bent down, her eyes level with mine. Tears falling from her eyes as she held me close to her. I was confused and unused to this much affection. I didn't understand what was going on around me or why my mother was acting so... motherly.

I felt her tear drops fall to my hands, and I knew she was crying. I can hear her sniffle every so often beside my ear.

I've never seen my mother cry, and honestly, it scared me.

Two nurses rushed into the room, followed by a doctor in a white coat. His glasses were on the tip of his nose and he hair strands of gray visible hairs. My mother moves out of the way and leaned against the white wall, while the nurses and doctors worked on me. I was still shocked and confused to what was going on.

The nurses checked my vials as he performed series of tests on me. He shined a bright flash light in my eyes and and I squinted slightly since it was very bright.

"What's your name?" he asked me, and it took everything in me not to roll my eyes and answer him sarcastically.

"Raven Faith Kingston."

He nodded his head then asked me again, "What year is it?"

"2014..." I grumbled.

He nodded his head as he examined the top of mine. He moved my hair slightly to the side, "Wh-what's going on?" I stuttered as I asked. The doctor touched a part on my scalp that caused me to flinch. "Ow." I grumbled and moved away from his hand when he tried to check it again.

"The stitches are helping her scar heal nicely." he spoke towards my mother, completely ignoring me.

Stitches? Scar?

That's when I remembered the accident! The head lights of the truck before it rammed into me. I was in an accident!

"Oh my god, the truck!" Tears came to my eyes as I remembered how scared I was. The helpless feeling that came over me. I thought I was going to die.

My Mom and the doctor-who's name I still don't know- heads shot in my direction, "What, hon?" my mother asked me.

I sniffed as the horrific memory played in my mind again, "The truck. It ran into me when I was driving. I'm so sorry." I don't know why I apologized, it was just something I was used to doing. I knew my mother was going to blame me for the accident. Even if it was the truck driver's fault. He ran the red light.

My mom's eyebrows creased together, then she looked at the doctor, "Is she okay? Is this a side effect to her concussion?"

The doctor was still looking at me. His face scrunched up in confusion, "Miss Raven, what was the last thing you remember?"

I shook my head, as the tears fell down my cheek. I wiped some of the tears away, keeping my gaze down on my lap, "The truck hitting me. I was on my way to go to a friend's party. I took another way because there was crazy traffic going the usual route."

My mom suddenly became worried. She advanced towards me, her hand finding mine, "Sweetie, what are you talking about?" she asked as she sat next to me on the bed.

My eyes narrowed as I looked at her, "What are you talking about?" I emphasized the 'you'.

She ignored my question, looking up at the doctor who was still standing, "Dr. Rosen, is this memory loss? Or what? Because it sounds like she remembers something completely different."

The doctor- who is now known as Doctor Rosen- sighed before answering my mother's question, "What she remembers could have just been a dream." then he looked me in the eyes, asking me seriously, "Do you remember driving in the car with your friend Elena and her parents?"

My eyebrows furrowed together, "Elena? Her parents? What are you talking about? Who's Elena?"

My mom's eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand. Unleashed tears filled her eyes again as she wrapped her arm around me.

The doctor seemed taken back by my confusion as he asked me, "Elena Gilbert? From what I gather is your best friend since kindergarten. Remember her?"

Elena Gilbert? Why does that name sound familiar? I didn't know an Elena...

My Mom and the doctor kept givng each other confused glances then would turn their attention towards me, as if having a silent conversation with each other. I felt very left out and annoyed at their oblivious rudeness.

"Elena Gilbert?" My mother asked me hopefully, as if that name rung a bell.

I know for a fact I never met an Elena in my life but...

A giggle escaped my lips, in this inappropriate time. Dr. Rosen looked at me questioningly.

"Elena Gilbert? Like in The Vampire Diaries books?" I couldn't help but ask. That's just such an uncommon name. They must be messing with me.

The doctor shook his head, his mouth set into a grim line, "Never heard of them."

My laughing subsided as I looked at him questioningly now. "Really? It's a best seller."

My mom shook her head, "Sweetie, I've never heard of those books. Especially a book that has Elena's name in it." She said seeming genuinely confused.

"Who the hell is Elena?" I exclaimed, completely annoyed now. They keep talking about some girl I don't even know.

"Uhm, I'm Elena." came a voice through the doorway, surprising all three of us. My head shot up and I looked in to the direction the voice came from, finding a girl with long straight brown hair. Her eyes were brown and doe like. She seemed upset and had a frown on her face. Her olive-skinned cheeks were smeared with tears streaks and her eyes were red and puffy.

She took a step in to the room as my mom walked towards her, wrapping her in a hug. A small gasp escaped me, as I sat there watching my mother being affectionate to someone else.

"I'm so sorry, darling, about your parents. They were amazing friends of mine and Ethan's. I'll keep you and your brother in my prayers."

All the Elena girl could do was nod as I noticed her eyes beginning to tear up again but she held it in, and replied back hoarsely, "How's Raven? Does she not remember me?" she asked, her voice sounding sad and simply depressing.

"Uhm, I'm right here." I snapped. Not liking that they keep talking in front of me like I wasn't even here.

Elena nodded taking a step towards me. She sat beside me on the bed, "I'm Elena Gilbert. Your best friend, remember?" the girl asked, her voice sounding hopeful.

I narrowed my eyes at her and my mother, "Is this some game? Because this isn't funny. Are you really that mad at me for getting in an accident that you'll play a stupid prank on me!" I never yelled at my mother, but I didn't like this. I didn't like her ways of punishing me. This was just sick and cruel. Making me think that I'm crazy.

My mother gasped, she looked offended but worried at the same time as she mumbled, sounding truthful, "No! Sweetheart, I'm not mad at you. It wasn't your fault Greyson lost control of the car. It was an accident. I love you."

I shook my head. Tears filled my eyes. This is a lie. She doesn' love me. Why are they playing with me. I felt so alone and so lost.

I looked at the doctor accusingly, "And you! Did she pay you? How can you let a mother treat her child this way? It's wrong! It's sick!"

My mother gasped, looking at me bewildered, "Raven! What has gotten into you?"

I scoffed, "Me? What about you! Why don't you love me? What did I ever do to you? I tried to be your perfect daughter, I really did. But this is all too much!" Then suddenly my head was in my hands and I was screaming from the sharp pain shooting through the back of my skull.

Dr. Rosen rushed towards me, and other nurses came into the room. My mother and the Elena girl backed away letting them check me out. He sat me down on the bed as my vision became blurry. I couldn't see anymore and I felt myself break into a hot sweat. I felt nausea and weak and all I heard was the doctor asking me if I was okay and to stay awake for him until I passed out into complete darkness.

Hours later I woke up to finding the room empty, so I thought. My mother wasn't there, and neither was Dr. Rosen or Elena.

Yet, I noticed one person sitting on the chair beside mine. He looked half asleep as he leaned back against the chair. His arms crossed, eyes closed, and if it wasn't for his annoying and consistent humming I wouldn't have known he was awake.

I glared at the unknown man sitting beside my bed. He was in dark clothing, wearing a black leather jacket, with dark jeans and a black t-shirt. He had dark raven black hair and his skin light, while his features were oddly beautiful.

I admit, he was, slightly good-looking. But why was he here? In my room? I've never seen this man before in my life!

"Hey, you." I spoke in annoyance, and his eyes shot open and he sat up straight in the chair.

His beautiful bright blue eyes found mine and he instantly relaxed.

"Oh," he spoke bored, "You're awake."

My eyes narrowed as I said, "Yes, I am. Now I don't know who your are so can you get out of my room." I spoke, it more of a statement not a question.

A smirk tugged at the end of the man's lips as he said,"Look, girl,"

"Do you know who I am? Or do you like going into strangers hospital rooms and sleep besides their beds like creeps?"

Then man rolled his eyes, "No. I don't know your name. And I don't really care about it. I just came here to do what I got to do."

Then before I can question him, my back was pushed up against the hospital white pillows. The man was leaning over me, his bright blue eyes were dilated as he spoke, staring directly into my eyes, "You don't remember what happened two nights ago on Wickery Bridge. You don't know how you survived outside of your car like Elena. And now you won't remember this conversation."

I blinked once, then twice. Was this man insane? What the hell was he talking about? And why the hell is looking at me like that! Is he trying to hypnotize me? Oh my god is he lost? Is he one of those mental patients? Should I page a nurse?

I flinched away from him and said, "What the hell? You're fricken crazy! Get away from me before I call security!"

His eyes widened and he pushed his hand over my mouth to quiet me down.

"How did that not work?" he spoke to himself. Then he looked up and faced me again, "Are you on vervain? You don't smell like it."

Then he looked at my neck and then my wrists and I was so confused and scared for my life. I didn't know this man! He can be a serial killer!

Finally he pushed away from me, and stood up. He leaned down so he was eye level with mine, "Never mention to anyone what just happened. Or I swear, I will kill you." his voice was deep and threateningly, which scared me more than anything. Especially since I had the overwhelming fear that he was telling he truth. He would kill me.

I blinked once again and in a second he was gone. I gasped and sunk in to the sheets of the bed. Truly scared for my life now.

I turned over on my left side, bury my face into the side of the mattress. Did I imagine all that? Am I going crazy?

I cried, and let my tears shed as I felt so lost, confused. I felt like I was in another world. And not a good one.
