Chapter 02: Problems or not?
I was not someone paranoiac, but I had this strange impression to be spied on from afar. So I kept looking back to see if suddenly someone will appear, or perhaps I make some weird ideas. It could be the case, but I was doubtful. We were in the town of Mystic Fall, the strange and especially the occult reigned in my hometown. How many times enemies have taken my friends and me? I could not even make the count... Besides, although it made me crazy to think of it, I had in my blood the one to the Petrova'. So I always pulled problems for kilometres, how many times I was going to die? And yet, I still had not moved. I clearly loved the danger; I had already been with two vampires, who looked like to each other, I had a strange taste for dark-haired, self-confident, mean, bad boy (girl). I watched my image through the mirror, I was wearing a denim miniskirt and a tight black corsair, I turned to myself and this gesture made me recall of Katherine ... she loved to admire and strutting before the mirror after our 'nightlife' she liked to be looked at, and I could not help but do it. And yet physically we looked like a clone, I could not deny it. No, I was simply a copy of someone else. Even not there, my ex made me depressed. I slapped both my cheeks; I had to forget about her, she was nothing, just a terrible mistake. I said that with confidence, but it took me time to look at me again. Why I had looked like the person I had loved and I despite the most? Again, it was my fault for being gullible to believe she could change, like the others, I have been easily manipulated. I had to stop to think on that disastrous one night stand; I had to think about my future and not my past. As such, Damon's marriage proposal, lingering in my mind, nights and days. I still had the ring on my finger, but I had not changed the location. I touched the ring, I should feel happy, or have any other emotion than surprise, but no, I was not enthusiastic. I would not compare this to non-euphoria to complete indifference. I did not know what to think, and it was the main problem. Caroline and Bonnie had never loved Damon. And seeing my ring, they had both forced smile, to make me happy. They insisted, he was immortal and that our marriage will just be for us, but our future life would be complicated. I could not have children with him. I had not thought about the possibility of having children, but now I thought about it, it did not bother me to adopt, or to have recourse to artificial insemination, and I changed pathway in medical school. I did not want to be an heart surgeon, but paediatrician. When I was in the emergency, I noticed that little boy seriously injured, and who fall down, I had at that moment a click. I wanted to help children, the weak who could not express their pain. And Damon made fun saying it would not even eat a child for his dinner, there was not enough food. I knew he was joking, but I did not at all appreciate this remark. Still, I did not tell him to shut up, but I understood. If he dared to attack a child, then I'll kill myself with my own bare hands.
Otherwise apart desires of murder, I liked very much my blood drinker when he did not attack innocent people. He was the perfect boyfriend, and of course, a very good lover. Sex was awesome.
I heard my phone ring and I saw that it was Bonnie. I answered her call; I took my purse and went out of my house? I was going to join to the only cafe in the city, to enjoy my day off. After the guard and sleepless nights, I needed a break with my friends.
"Hello, Bonnie yes, I arrive in five minutes, do not you worry, there is no psychopath in the area."
"It's not funny Lena."
"I know, but I did not try to be. Come on." I heard Caroline away order three hot chocolate and pastries, I smiled. I took my car and I headed to downtown. It was already 4 p.m. Time passed so fast. I arrived at a traffic light, it turned red, I watched in my rear-view mirror just in case I did not fail with my makeup, and I noticed someone in a black car. A woman wearing sunglasses, and had half his face hidden by a black cap, she turned her head from my eyes. My heart began to beat faster, and the driver suddenly started up again and passed me. I pursued the car, I had a bad feeling. It may be that person who spied on me during those last days. And her appearance strongly reminded me of an old acquaintance; I had to found out the truth. I saw that the 4x4 stopped on the driveway and a young woman with long curly dark hair, that tied in a ponytail escaped from her vehicle. She was dressed all in black, jeans pants and a simple jacket. She looked like a secret agent and she was very suspicious. I parked my car too, and I got out. She walked away from my sight, and I had to run after her. After I slalomed in some narrow alley, I managed to catch her before she nearly escaped.
"Katherine! I knew it was you who followed me around like a dog! Leave me the hell alone!" I ordered furiously, I grabbed the wrist of the dark-haired woman, but I found myself waltzing on the floor, stunned, and lying on the hard floor, I tried to collect my thoughts. This could not be my brunette, she was not the type to use judo hold, but she pushed me brutally against a wall, or she bit me. I raised my eyes upward, and it was not what I expected ... no, it was not Katherine, but a different person, that strange she looked like her...me, she had a family likeness, as if she were a distant cousin, she had brown hair, and her hair shorter than Katherine, and she was shorter…did I imagine things? I understood nothing.
"You look like much to Katherine Pierce, Elena Gilbert, you're so stupid that she had told me. So you throw herself in the lion's den? It will be easier for me."
"What? Katherine…you bit-" I had no time to add anything that I received a powerful punch causing me to fall into unconsciousness.
