"Anna? Anna, do you hear me?"
Unfamiliar voice called my name. It was female voice, but I swear I've never heard her voice before.
"She is conscious!" The woman yelled to someone, when I started to open my eyes. I couldn't see anything because everything looked blurry for me, including the woman and her flashlight lighting into my eyes, but suddenly I could feel pain all over my body. The pain was so bad that I was afraid to move to not make it get worse.
"Get her out of the car. Now!" The same unfamiliar voice said again and it was the last thing I heard before I started to see darkness in my eyes again.
[…Two Hours Ago…]
Elena at the party… Jeremy alone at home… Miranda and Grayson drove to take Elena back home…
Suddenly it felt so clear to me, like all pieces of the puzzle are together.
It is the day when Gilbert's car will fall into the lake!
It is the exact day when Elena met Damon for the first time and Stefan saved her after the car accident, but if I'm right and my mission is really not to let the doppelgangers to meet each other, so I can't let the accident to happen so Elena won't meet Stefan.
…And her parents won't die.
But now I find another problem I have. Damon Salvatore. She meets him before her parents come to take her home, but luckily for me, he compels her to forget about him. On the other hand, he will not forget her, so after today, I'll have to make them two, Elena and Damon, not to meet each other again even if he'll try to.
So for now I have two missions; Don't let the accident to happen and hide Elena from the Salvatores.
"How long ago they left?" I ask, noticing that I was standing quite and not moving for awhile.
"Hmm… two minutes before you came" Said Jeremy and looked weird at me because of my nervous face.
I felt like I couldn't breathe and couldn't control myself. I prayed time to slow down, while I was searching for my car keys.
With corners of my eyes, I could see that Jeremy started to worry because of my weird behavior.
"Ann, are you okay?" He stood up from the sofa and went toward me, "Hey, sis, calm down".
Jeremy tried to touch me, but I pushed his hand away and stared at him madly.
"I'm not your sister!" I yelled suddenly without noticing what I'm saying , "You shouldn't have let them leave the house today" I said passing him.
Little Gilbert just stood there frozen after my words. He was confused, but mostly hurt.
Don't judge me. I panicked. What can I do?
Before I left the house, I turned to him once again, after I opened the door, and said "Please do me a favor and don't leave the house tonight".
With those words, I closed the door and ran to the car.
Even that I felt bad leaving him like that because I noticed that he and Anna do have very strong brotherhood, but I couldn't waste any time, so I promised myself to fix it later.
I started to drive to the Wickery bridge, where the accident was about to happen. Even if I didn't know if Elena was already picked up by her parents, my plan for now was to drive there because anyway I'll meet them when they will drive to the bridge.
Luckily for me, I have drove couple times through this bridge with the girls and memorized the way pretty well, but it didn't help me calm down even a bit, but I tried to find something to make me relax and think clear.
While I was driving, I reached my phone and tried to call Elena, but she didn't pick up.
Okay. Now I am even more panicking.
Suddenly, I remembered, that Elena was speaking with Bonnie on the phone right before she met Damon, so probably this is the reason why she couldn't answer my call.
I reached to my phone once again and this time I called Caroline who probably was still at the party.
There is no way Caroline Forbes will not be there. Or at any other party.
"Hello?" I heard Caroline's voice on the other side of the phone and other people's voices at the background.
Yep. She is there. I think Sherlock Holmes would be proud of me.
"Thank god you answered, Caroline" I said with hope she'll know something about where Elena could be right now, "Please tell me you are still at the party".
"Not exactly" She said and I felt like all my hope disappeared in the moment, "I'm trying to calm down Matt here, but I'm still around".
Or not.
"And what about Elena?" I asked, trying not to waste any time.
"She left couple minutes ago and I think she called Bonnie, so I think you should call her. Maybe she may know where your sister is".
I could feel a little more calm because that means Elena probably haven't met her parents yet.
"Okay. I'll call her now. Thanks, Car" I said and was about to hang up, but suddenly she stopped me.
"Wait! Did you know that Elena was about to break about with Matt? Because I didn't. And now Matt is sure that after the argument they had tonight she'll break up with him. Did you know? Why she didn't tell me? I'm her best friend too, no? Am I right?"
I tried to answer to her couple times while she was talking, but she didn't let me.
Sometimes it's too dangerous let her talk. She can never stop.
"Look, Caroline, I'll have to hang up" I said interrupting in the middle, but I really needed to make her stop and call Bonnie, "I'll call you later".
I hung up before she could say anything else.
Before I dialed Bonnie's number, I decided to drive to the party place through the short way and not through the bridge, because this way I can arrive there earlier than Elena's parents, and from there I'll think about something that will convince them not to be on this bridge tonight.
I started to drive faster in case Miranda and Grayson didn't arrive there, and maybe Elena haven't met Damon yet, so it's a bonus for me. Luckily for me, Bonnie and Elena usually talk on the phone for hours and I hope "Elena's argument with Matt" is the exact subject to talk for a long time.
While I was driving, especially at such a high speed, it was hard to find Bonnie's number in the phone and keep my eyes on the road, but I could already see the school from afar, where the party was.
"Shit!" I say, when suddenly I dropped my phone and tried to reach to it, "Common.." I say, while I keep searching and barely saw the road.
Right after I finally found the phone, I sat up and looked back to the road where I suddenly noticed a fog.
It wasn't here before, was it?
I tried to see through it, but I barely could see anything, including the school, until suddenly I saw something lying on the road.
My first instinct was to turn harshly the steering wheel, but very fast I realized that it was mistake because I lost the control over the car right away.
I tried to stop the car as best as I can, but it felt like I can't do anything about it. And then I felt a strong blow that made me feel hard pain all over my body. It took me time to realize what happened. I crashed in huge tree with full force that caused by the speed I drove here with.
It felt like nostalgia to me. It reminded me the first time it happened to me and I woke up here, in TVD world.
With the pain came the weakness and I suddenly started to feel how heavy my head can be. Everything around seemed blurry, but one thing I did notice before my eyes were closed completely and it ruined the nostalgia that I had a second ago.
It wasn't a dog like in the first time that caused the accident, and I'm completely sure it wasn't an animal I tried not to crash into this time.
[…Present Time…]
And again, the first thing I could feel was the pain all over my body, but luckily for me, this time, it was less painful.
When I slowly started to open my eyes, I saw a clean, white room, and middle-aged woman dressed in a white robe was standing beside my bed.
"Good morning, Anna" Said the woman, smiling, when she caught my look on her, "I'm your doctor, mrs. James".
I'm in a hospital. Great...
"Do you remember what happened?" She said, trying to sound calm, probably not to make me get panicked or something.
But I did start to panic because suddenly I remembered everything. I was on the way to try save the Gilberts, but I didn't get there because of a…
"Car accident" I said as calm as I could and noticed that my voice was a bit hoarse.
If I'm here, in the hospital, does that mean I didn't succeed? What happen to Elena and her parents after I didn't arrive there? And what was on the road that made me crush?
"Correct. But don't worry, you'll be fine", said the doctor and interrupted my thoughts, "There is someone who wants to see you", she said, walking to the door to open it.
"Who?"
"You mother. She's been here all this time, waiting for you to wake up", the doctor said, keep smiling, and opened the door.
My mom? Is she talking about Miranda?
I'm staring at the door with a hope to see Miranda entering the room because if she is, that means I did exactly what Anastiasia expected me to do – didn't let Stefan meet Elena by stopping the accident, and I also saved Miranda and Grayson from dying.
Does that mean I completed my mission? Did I keep my promise that I promised to myself to keep Elena's parents alive?
But the moment I saw who walked in, my smile, that was filled with a hope, disappeared.
"Anna.. My little girl" The woman I saw in the door looked at me and I could see tears in her eyes. She walked toward me and hugged me as hard as she could, but in the same time tried not to hurt me, "I'm so happy you're fine, my little angel", she said and I could feel how she was trying to cry.
I couldn't stop myself from hugging her back and I felt like we both needed it, because the woman that was hugging me was…
"Mom?" I whispered, barely believing in what just happen.
My mom, my real mom, was here, in the hospital, hugging me.
I felt my eyes full with tears and I noticed that the doctor already left the room. But as much as happy I was, I couldn't not to be worried about one thing. If my mom is here, does that mean…
Am I back to my world?
