Bonnie and Matt just shifted awkwardly as I sat in the middle of them. Did I interrupt something? Meredith on the other hand was just a bit shaken up which surprised even me. She usually always kept her calm in any situation. No one said anything which brought on a whole new level of awkward. That's when we heard a coughing sound come from the doorway. Simultaneously we all turned our heads to see Stefan standing in the door way. I stood and walked over to him and leaned against him. I looked back at the others and couldn't help notice Matt moving a little closer to Bonnie. Tilting my head a little I couldn't help but smile to myself. I figured it would happen eventually but I wasn't sure if they were actually together. I wasn't going to ask either. I'm sure they didn't want to be completely embarrassed. There was another reason but it was at the edge of my mind. I turned back to Stefan.
"What's wrong?"
"I…don't know. I've never come across anything like this so I can't determine what it is that's doing this to us." he said
"Well that's very helpful." Bonnie blurted or rather hissed sort of
I just looked at her with raised eyebrows. I wasn't the only one either. Damon who had walked in right when she said it and also had raised eyebrows. Meredith too. she just shrank back into the cushiony couch and looked at her feet.
"I'm sorry. I get cranky when I don't sleep much." She muttered
"Bonnie it's alright. I don't think we can blame you for that." Stefan said
"Better not." She mumbled under her breath
"Well then what are we supposed to do if we don't know who or what is doing this let alone what is going happen?" Meredith asked breaking tension
"Live till you die." Damon blurted
~Bonnie~
"Live till you die." I heard him say
The words echoed inside of me like I was hollow. Standing quickly I walked over and shoved him. It was a feeble attempt since he didn't even budge.
"Don't say that! It isn't funny! You're hateful and mean and …and" I yelled but stopped as it turned to crying
I started falling to my knees but Damon caught me by the shoulders roughly.
"That's what's going to happen?" he asked
I didn't answer. I was afraid to be honest because I knew his bad side and I didn't want to see it.
"Look at me!" he ordered shaking me
I looked up at him.
"Damon enough." I heard Matt say
"Is that what happens?" he asked
I still didn't say anything. He let go of me and I hit the floor hard. He then stormed out of the house like he was on a mission. I heard car wheels squeal and speed off. Then I felt a set of arms around me.
"It'll be alright."
It was Matt. Hearing him say that made me cry even harder because I knew it wasn't true. Something else that troubled my mind was the fact that I couldn't figure out why Damon would even care as to who would die. Unless it was his way of only being concerned for his life. It still didn't explain the look in his eyes. The look that showed worry and what I think would be him scared. But maybe I was just seeing things. It wouldn't be the first time.
Matt helped me to my feet even though I still felt wobbly. Looking at the others I saw Meredith nearly crying and Elena was just scared. Stefan on the other hand wouldn't even look at me. Matt was the only one keeping his composure. I think he was the one who scared me the most. How could he not be scared that he knew that he could die? I couldn't do this. I couldn't take it anymore. Everything was crashing down on me and there was nothing I could do about it. I broke from Matt's arms and ran out the door that Damon had flung open and not bothered to close it.
~Damon~
Someone or even more were going to die. She didn't have to say it I could see it in her eyes. I wasn't sticking around for it either. I didn't know where I was going but I was getting the hell away from here. Far away sounded real good. But at the back of my mind the thought of going back seemed to become a good idea. I couldn't let them go through it alone. Who was I kidding? I couldn't let her go through it alone. Yeah well I also have my own ass to keep safe so I cancelled out any thought of going back. Putting me first was higher on the list than getting myself killed for them. Especially Mutt.
I growled thinking about him. He just always pissed me off. More often than not he didn't have to say anything to get me that way.
I was going at least 100mph by now. I was getting even angrier as thoughts of those two being together flew through my mind. Is that why she turned me away? The more I thought about it the harder I pressed the gas pedal.
What happened next happened to quick for me to even register what happened. I was just reaching the edge of town when a tree fell into the middle of the road. Not even having time to hit the brake let alone jump out of the car, the car flipped right over the tree. It kept flipping. As it did my head cracked against the window. When it stopped my legs were stuck because the dashboard caved in and the steering wheel had me stuck in place. My head was throbbing. The whole car was wrecked beyond recognition. The windshield was gone. It's probably down the road a little. The passenger side door was hanging open. It was times like these that made me happy that I was already dead. Getting out of something like this would usually take the Jaws of Life but I just lifted the steering wheel up. Then with a quick pull I pulled my legs out of the crushed dashboard. As I went to crawl out I collapsed. My left shoulder was out of place. I was used to it so I didn't notice till I'd actually started using it. Putting pressure on my right arm I half crawled and half scooted out the passenger side since the driver's side was jammed. I stood as I popped my arm back into place. Touching my forehead where the headache was coming form I felt something wet. I wiped the blood away being the cut was already gone.
I looked at what was left of my car. My windshield was down the road as I predicted and so was my bumper. The headlights were busted too. But as I looked back down the road I noticed the tree was gone. The one thing that caused me to crash was gone.
"Someone does not want me to leave."
Ok this is the part where I ask you to review. Whether you like it or not do review. PLEASE! I'm asking nicely lol.
