Should I add in some of Damon's point of view later on in the story? Cause I only will if people think it's a good idea =]
I woke the next morning to a shrill cacophony of sound, the incandescent ringing seemed to claw at my eardrums and I groaned pulling my plush pillow over my ears and snuggling deeper into my bed. "Go away!" I mumbled, as I recognised the song playing as my ring tone, a ring tone that was far too loud and I was definitely going to change when I was fully awake.
I pressed my pillow harder over my ears as the ringing continued, who would be ringing me at this hour, it wasn't even light out, was it? I wasn't looking forward to the task of checking, my eyes hurt as they were now, scrunched up under the darkness of my sheets and pillows pressed firmly over my face. I pushed back the sheets, hissing like an animal at the intruding sun that seemed content to completely drown me in blinding light. "Ow, my eyes" I groaned.
I felt completely hung-over, but I knew for certain I hadn't drank anything the night before, or at all in the last month or two for that matter. Maybe it was Jenna's cookies from the day before? It could be food poisoning. No surely not, I hadn't eaten enough, let alone swallowed any, besides I didn't feel sick in any way, just tired and strangely weak. I sighed, relieved as the phone stopped ringing, and rolled over ready to fall back to sleep, but the same damned song started playing again.
I groaned again, "Leave me alone," I whined as I leaned over to my bedside table, picking up the evil object that continued to ring aggravatingly.
The caller ID on the screen was slightly blurred, my eyes were still sleepy and I could barely focus. I flipped open the phone and snapped, "What?!" instantly regretting doing so when Elena's voice answered from the other end, "Kaye? Are you okay? Why aren't you in school?"
"School?" I asked, my voice cracking from lack of use.
"Yeah," she laughed, "You know? That place we go to learn?"
"What time is it?"
"11.15, you've missed some periods already, I managed to sneak out to call you."
"You're joking"
"I wish I was, then you might not be in as much trouble, you should get in as soon as you can!" Elena said.
"Yeah," I groaned, "I'll be right there"
I snapped the phone shut and sat up wearily, rubbing my temples, I had to move if I wanted to lessen the trouble I was already in.
I stumbled to the bathroom, almost slipping on a discarded towel, and showered and changed in record time, not bothering with the my usual minimal make up. I grimaced as I glanced in the mirror, I had purple lines under my eyes as if I hadn't slept for days and I looked pale and drawn. My neck was stiff and my head pounding, so I decided to grab some painkillers on my way out, along with my bag.
I sped to school and lost count of the numerous speed laws I had probably broken, thanking my lucky stars that there were no police around at the time I was speeding through town. Once I had parked and locked up my car I scurried into the building, down the halls and into the lunch hall where I knew Elena and the others would be eating their lunch at this time.
"Kaye! Hey!" I heard someone, it must have been Bonnie, call.
I meandered my way around the tables and took an empty seat at the end of the table.
I noticed everybody eyeing me wearily, even Jeremy looked slightly curious, "I overslept" I said by way of explanation.
"Are you sure?" Elena asked dubiously, "You look like you haven't slept at all!"
"You look hung-over" Jeremy added.
"Gee, thanks guys" I mumbled, dropping my head onto the clean lunch table.
"Were you drinking last night?" Bonnie asked, a gentle hand placed on my shoulder.
"No, I was with you and Elena, then I went straight home and went to bed" I replied, frowning onto the table. I lifted my head and saw Caroline smirking, "Did you invite a guy over when you went to bed?"
"What? No!" I shook my head, truthfully I couldn't really remember what had happened last night, everything was hazy, like after you've gotten extremely drunk and everything is patchy, I remembered hearing something outside, going outside, then I woke up, I remembered muffled words, "Afraid… hungry" and then nothing.
I noticed that Stefan was staring at me intently, the same frown he had worn on his face Saturday night when I had told him about something following me in the woods, was in place, a deep line between his eyebrows, I was again struck by the thought that it didn't suit him.
"What lesson do we have next?" I asked to break the awkward silence that ad descended on us when I had all but snapped at Caroline, something I should probably apologize for later, when I wasn't so tired and out of it.
"Gym" Bonnie answered with an audible groan.
"Oh God, Why do you hate me?" I complained, leaning back in my seat, eyes on the ceiling, ignoring Stefan's curious stare and everybody else's questioning eyes.
"Come on Kaye! Get moving!" Elena cried as the girls began to leave the changing rooms for gym, Elena was dressed in the gym shorts and tank, and I was still curled up on one of the benches, "We're going to be late"
"You go on." she hesitated, "Ill be five minutes" and I threw in a smile for good measure.
Once the door had closed behind her I slowly began to change into my gym kit, flinching as I moved my right shoulder, I flexed my neck, cringing again, why did everything hurt?
"Kaye? You ready, Mr S is rea.." she gasped, I frowned.
"What?" I asked, turning and taking in her horrified stare, "Is there something on my face?"
"Uh, no," she answered quickly gathering herself, "Kaye? Do you have a dog? Or a pet of some kind?" she asked, sounding almost hopeful, like she wanted the answer to be yes. I shook my head, no, frowning, what was she talking about?
"Then where did you get these?" she asked, stepping closely, pressing a finger gently onto two places, one on the side of my neck and the other on my right shoulder, I flinched and sucked in air both times, "I don't know" I replied, stepping in front of the mirror, examining the areas, "What the hell?" I whispered.
I saw two large, what looked like bite marks, one on the neck and the other on the shoulder, both were red and slightly raised, and ached when I pressed my fingers against them, "Where did they come from? What are they?" I looked to Elena who was staring at my reflection in the mirror, her mouth a prim line, pretty face bitter.
"I'm sure it's nothing" she said after a while , "Maybe your allergic to something"
"Yeah.." I hesitated, "Of course, they look like teeth marks though"
"I'm sure they're not, I mean what would have bitten you? Surely you would remember." she replied, her speech fast, voice almost nervous.
"Yeah," I frowned again, wincing at the gross looking marks and decided to pull on my jacket over the tank top, didn't want people asking questions that I couldn't answer, or assuming falsities about my extra curricular activities.
"Let's go" Elena said, seemingly still on edge.
I followed her into the gym, mind reeling, what the hell were those marks? Where had I gotten them? What had happened last night and why couldn't I remember much of anything? What the heck was happening in this town and where did I fit in?
