Are you ready for this? Well unlike all of my other chapters, I don't have anything to say before I start. So here it is….. chapter 4!
Her heartbeat grew fainter and fainter as he enjoyed the deliciousness of her blood. It had been a long time since he'd had a taste of doppelganger blood, and he'd forgotten how good it was! But then, he snapped out of it. 'Oh god, she can't die!' he thought, 'I'll be dead if I kill her and we have to wait 500 more years from the doppelganger to show up again!' So he pulled away and ripped his sleeve up. Taking a huge bite out of his wrist, he forced his blood into her mouth. She tried to spit it out at first, but then started drinking it, just like he had done to her just seconds before.
After a while, he pulled away and rolled down his sleeve again, this time to wipe his blood off of her mouth. He stayed and watched her for a few minutes, making sure the blood was working.
Slowly her heartbeat picked up again, and her neck began to heal. He laid her on the floor and changed the sheets, then gently setting her back on them so that it looked like nothing had happened. Just one thing left to do—he took off the necklace and whispered instructions into her ear. Now knowing she would be fine the next day with just a headache as evidence of what he had done, he left out the window and into the night.
The bright sunlight hit her eyelids, causing searing pain to shoot through her head. Elena groaned, opening her eyes to Jenna, pushing the curtains open. Jenna turned around, and smiled. "Good morning, sleeping beauty! Did you forget to set your alarm clock? Because you already missed 2 hours of school. And would you believe that I got calls from four people in the first hour? One from Stefan, Bonnie, Caroline, and even from Alaric! You've got quite the good friends, kiddo", Jenna laughed.
Elena sat up slowly, head still pounding. "Jenna, did you tell them—"
"Don't worry, I told them that you were sleeping in late. I figured there was a good reason since you normally wake up before the alarm even goes off! Oh, and I called the school and told the you weren't feeling good and would be in later this afternoon if you felt up to it… Do you? I mean, do you feel up to going to school?" Jenna questioned, worried that her niece looked like she was about to keel over.
"Yeah, I think I'll be fine. I just need take an Advil", she said as she tried to stand up, but felt searing pain in her head, and curiously at her neck, "or maybe two, for this stupid migraine."
"Oh, hey I'll go get those for you, just go ahead and get ready. You know what, I'll even get a cup of coffee and a pop-tart ready for you!" Jenna said laughing, not realizing that every word she said made Elena's head throb even more.
Elena fell down on her bed, exasperated and confused. Where had this damn headache come from? She sighed, then got up to take a shower, hoping the hot water would soothe the pain in her head. After wasting a sufficient amount of water, she got out and finished getting ready, taking the two advils Jenna had left on her bedside-table.
Walking down stairs with her head still throbbing, she stalked into the kitchen ignoring Jenna's welcoming smile and grabbed the coffee. She took a sip, and almost wanted to hug Jenna—it had the perfect mix of cream and sugar. She grabbed the pop-tart, said bye to Jenna, and hopped in her car.
She put on a pair of sunglasses she had stored in the glove compartment, and backed out of the driveway. But as soon as she started driving down the road, she had the eerie feeling that she was being watched. She tried to shrugged it off, but the feeling remained.
After a few minutes, she didn't feel like she was being watched anymore, and kept driving in the direction of the school.
He watched her drive down the road, amazed that after everything he'd done to her last night she was even up to walking down the hallway, let alone go to school for 4 hours. He could still feel her blood singing through his veins as he watched her car turn the corner. All he could think was, 'oh boy, is she going to be really confused today when her friends start asking questions. I wish I could be there.' But then again, maybe he could. Smirking, he waltzed off, following her car to its destination.
Well, what did you think? This chapter wasn't as suspenseful, but I thought it was time to let Jenna come into play… Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it, and I can tell you one thing, it is going to be a LONG day for Elena!
