Chapter 7
After I woke up, I got out of by bed and went toward my desk. My laptop was on my desk. I lift the top the laptop up and turned the laptop on. I must find more information on Elena Gilbert. I need to know the type of person she is. She seems like a nice girl, but I could be wrong. I thought Katherine was a nice girl, but then I found out who she really was.
A lot of teenagers post about their lives online. Teenagers nowadays are so opened. Back when I was human, teenagers were more closed off. They were modest and they did not express themselves as much as kids do today.
When my computer finally turned on, I typed the words 'Elena Gilbert' and 'Mystic Falls' into the Google website. I figured that Elena probably has some type of blog or a profile on a social media site where she posts about her life. A few links for 'Elena Gilbert Mystic Falls' showed up. One of the links was to Facebook. I clicked on it. It was Elena's Facebook profile. Her profile picture was her wearing a Mystic Falls High School cheerleading uniform with her boyfriend, Matt wearing a Mystic Falls High School Football jersey with jeans. Matt had his arm around Elena in the picture. They look like a happy couple. I am a little jealous looking at this picture. I never had a normal happy romantic relationship in my life. I thought that Katherine would be someone that I could be happy with and in a loving and committed relationship with, but I was wrong. I am also jealous, because Matt gets to be with Elena. It is crazy. I do not even know her, but I am a little bit envious over some boy being with her.
On Elena's Facebook page, there are lots of pictures of her with her family and friends. After looking at her pictures, I went to the page that showed her interests. A few of the movies she likes are The Notebook, Juno, and Harry Potter. A few of her favorite shows are Grey's Anatomy, NCIS, and Bones. Some of her favorite musical artists are Jamie Lidell, Sara Bareilles, and the Beatles. I looked at the listing for her favorite books. It seems that we have similar taste in literature. We both like Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, The Grapes of Wrath, and The Great Gatsby. Elena likes some American classics.
After looking at Elena's Gilbert Facebook page, I kind of have an idea of the type of person she is. She seems like a regular high school girl. She likes fashion, movies, and music. She likes to have fun. Elena also seems like a deep person. She loves to read books that make people think. She cares deeply about her family and friends. She seems like a great person.
After I was done looking for information about Elena online, I realized that I have not fed in a couple of days, so I got up and changed my clothes. I put on a dark blue t-shirt and jeans. I put on my black boots. After getting dressed, I went outside into the woods.
For the first few minutes of being in the woods, I did not see any animals. But then I heard a rabbit nibbling on something. The rabbit was not very far. I ran in the direction that the sound was coming from. The rabbit was nibbling on some grass. At the moment I saw the rabbit, I rushed to it, held on to it with both of my hands, bit it, and started to drink its blood. I drank its blood until it was dead.
Animal blood does not make me as strong as human blood does, but I will never go back to drinking human blood. Human blood turns me into something I do not want to be. It turns me into a monster. Being a vampire does not make me a monster. What makes me a monster is hurting and slaughtering innocent people. I am never going to go back to doing that.
When I was finished with feeding, I left the woods. I went to the hospital to check on Elena. I sneaked into the hospital. I made sure nobody saw me. If they did, I would compel them to forget me. I went in front of Elena's room. I looked into the room quickly. She was the only person in the room. I ran quickly into her room and besides her bed. Elena was sleeping. She looked so innocent and pretty. I heard someone walk toward the room. I ran out of the room in the direction opposite of the way the person was walking. I went into an area where nobody was at.
I heard the person go into a room. I could hear Elena in the room breathing and I could also hear another person in the room breathing as well. The other person in Elena's room must be the same person I heard walking less than a minute ago. Elena must have woken up at the moment, because I heard her say "Hi, Aunt Jenna", quietly.
"Hi", said Jenna. "I'm sorry I woke you".
"It's okay. I would have woken up anyway". Where is Jeremy", Elena said.
"He is at Matt' house. Kelly just got home yesterday", Jenna said.
"That's good", Elena said.
Jenna told Elena "I talked to the doctor earlier. He said that your health is good and that you are going to be able to some home in two days".
Elena said quietly, "Yeah, my health is good. But I'm not doing good. I can't believe mom and dad died. I can't believe it. What's going to happen now?''
"I do not know, but you, me and Jeremy are going to get through it together. Ok?"
"Ok", Elena said.
Elena is so devastated. She just lost both of her parents. I have lost many people in my lifetime, and it does not get any easier. But I know that Elena is going to get through this.
After listening to Elena and her aunt's conversation for a bit, I left the hospital. I know that to get to know Elena and to make sure she is not another Katherine, I have to talk to people that actually know her.
