CHAPTER 2
Flashback
The soft spring breeze stroked Elena's face, as she waited for her parents to pick her up. It was around 11p.m., when she said last goodbyes at Caroline's birthday party. It was too big for her taste; her best friend of course decided to invite the whole school, but it wasn't like she didn't expect this. We are talking about Caroline after all. Otherwise it was great: good songs, close friends and the birthday girl's face when she opened the present she got her outweigh everything she didn't like. After almost two weeks of deflection, Matt finally decided to talk to her again, and it made night even better, knowing that even after their break up, she hasn't lost her friend.
She didn't have to wait long, just as she was about to text her mom where they were, she noticed the car lights at the beginning of the street. She smiled at the thought of her parents at the diner date. Two days ago they set todays date to celebrate their fifteen marriage anniversary. Jeremy wisely decided to stay at home, enjoying his time alone, acting like a typical teenager.
The car stopped in front of her, she sat on the back sit slamming the door behind her.
"Hi" she greeted, not bothering to put on a seatbelt. "How was it?"
"Hey sweetie" her mom replied, before looking to her husband, smirking. "Good, just like those times long ago, when we were still young…"
"And we haven't had two teens to look after" Elena's dad added, causing all of them to laugh.
"And the party?" her mom asked.
"It was OK." The girl said. "Great actually: Matt started to talk to me again, and Caroline loved the shoes I bought her. She couldn't stop thanking me… O! And she invited me to the cinema next Saturday. Can I go?"
"Saturday? I don't know yet. We kind of planed to go to the hospital and get over with the blood giving for this half of the year."
Elena pulled a face. Ever since the agreement between vampires and humans was signed, every human between the ages of fifteen to sixty had to give a bag of his or hers blood for this immortal monsters to feed on. This agreement insured them that the vampires won't attack humans. Everybody knew that it was still happening, but not nearly as numerically as it would, if they would broke the deal, thought.
"I'm not going." Elena stated, stubbornly.
"Elena…" Her mother's voice turned strict.
"No, I am not going! This whole deal, agreement our politicians signed is wrong. They only did this because they were afraid, forced or compelled to."
"Listen to me very carefully now Elena." Her father glanced back at her. "We all know what is really happening. But you have to believe me when I tell you this: We don't stand a chance against them. We are lucky they even offered us a deal. If they wouldn't we would all be long dead."
"I know, but…"
"Of course you do. And promise me…" He turned around to face her. "That you will never say something like that in public. Even here we could be heard. It is dangerous, kid."
She looked him in his eyes. "I…" Before she could say anything else, she felt like the car was flying, but only for a moment before it crashed in to the cold water. She couldn't even breathe and after a few seconds of trying to break the car window, she took a last glance at her unconscious parents, right before everything turned black.
She had no idea how much time has passed before she could say she was conscious again. She was trying to catch her breath, lying on her stomach her at the embankment with her legs still in the water. As soon as she realized what happened she started calling for her mum and dad weakly, but no one answered. Something white couth her eyes, and she looked over her shoulder, only to find a pair of big, wet wings on her back. The sound of the siren was the last thing she heard.
The present
Elena woke up as the door to her room closed, only to find a plate full of food at the floor in front of it. There was a sandwich, a glass of orange juice and some vegetables on it, and even thought she was too sad to feel the hunger, she knew she was going to need to try to dig in. She is, for sure, going to need the energy.
She stood from the cold corner on the floor where she fell asleep, sitting. Her eyes wondered across the room for a few seconds. It was small; its walls painted white and the only three pieces of furniture were a bed, toilet and a washbasin, which were almost entirely hidden behind the grey curtain. She wiped her still watery eyes and stretch, observing how she was able to move and feel her wings. She had no idea what happened to her. This just couldn't be really happening. She still couldn't believe that her parents might be dead, either. Holding on with everything she had to the hope that maybe this is all just a bad dream and she isn't trapped in the RS-centre, after all. Yes, she was scared. This place was, after all, a part of almost every scary story based on the community of vampires. In almost of them, there was at least mentioned torture. For now all she could do was praying that the stories aren't true.
…...
Damon, stood in front of the door looking through the peephole, a little longer than necessary. Three hours passed since he questioned the girl and got nothing but "I don't knows" and completely scattered answers about water and "them". He had no idea what to think, still hoping that she was just so confused, that she didn't remember anything important. He should start from the beginning, thought.
He entered the archive and soon found last night's records flipping the pages until he saw number 121. He sat on the manky armchair and started to read.
The subject was found at the end of Mystic Falls, at the Wickery Bridge on May 23, around quarter past eleven p.m.. We received a call from the human emergency medical service , they said that they found a member of the strange kind, which they didn't knew. They described it as an angel. They were called to the Wickery bridge last night by the witness of the car accident in which two adults (Miranda and Grayson Gilbert) died. The witness claimed, that five minutes after eleven p.m., the car crashed from the bridge to the river. The emergency medical service recognized the specimen as Elena Gilbert, the daughter of the mentioned couple. Only then they noticed something was wrong. They also confirmed that there was no possibility that the girl could survive the accident. The specimen was unconscious when our services arrived and brought to the CRS quarters.
Damon stopped, trying to restrain the hope which was disappearing, quickly substituted with disappointment. But not all was lost yet. He needed to speak to the girl again.
