(S4, E3) EMERY'S KISS

(...) Reader's POV (...)

Elena is running through the dark forest at night still gasping for air in her lungs and her eyes show... Terror. You definitely can say she's running from someone or something, but...

What?

Then, she jumped over a big log and fell down. She landed hard with her chest on the road. Right at the exit from the forest.

She started coughing, tried to catch her breath again and touched her forehead. Then, she saw blood on her hand.

Then, a loud and terrifying laugh sounded from the forest...

Elena: No... - She widened her eyes again and tried to get up again - No, no, no , no...

Hardly, because of her wounds and exhaustion, but she finally stood still again and started looking around. She definitely can't tell where the laughter is coming from. It's like... Everywhere...

She swallowed, caught her breath again and started taking steps back, but then... She felt someone behind her. She immediately jumped away in terror and turned back.

Elena: Stay away from me - She mumbled angrily all the time taking steps back.

Liam: Oh, come on - He spread his hands all the time smiling and approaching her - I just want what you promised me, my love.

Elena: I owe you nothing, Liam - She pointed at him - Since you're dead, stay dead.

Liam: What about you? - He smirked and sped up a little - We're both dead, my love. Have you already forgotten about it?

Elena: Even if I had to run away from you to the other end of the world, I'd do it without hesitation - She mumbled furiously - I'm even able to do it in the afterlife, which I don't believe in.

Liam: I think I should remind you about our crazy love - He smirked - Or should I recreate your memories all by myself? Afresh? - Then, I saw some syringe in his hand.

Elena: You can erase my memory, but I'll run away from you sooner or later - She said firmly - I don't need to remember you to know you're a monster, Liam.

While taking steps back, she walked into someone again. She jumped in terror again and immediately turned back...

Elena: J... - She took a step back and swallowed - Jake?

Jake: Elena? - He looked at her with his worried face and tried to approach her, but she took a step back - What are you afraid of? It's me - He touched his chest - Remember?

She started nodding negatively nervously. She doesn't nod her head to deny it, she does it out of disbelief.

Jake: My heart is about to break when I see you so scared, my love - His voice cracked and approached her again - Williams is the one you should be afraid of, not me. I killed him for you, remember? I was ready to sacrifice my life for your safety. If I was about to make this decision again, I'd do it without hesitation for the second time.

All the time Elena is trying to catch her breath and looking at Jake with her disbelief and widened eyes. Then, Jake finally touched her cheek and smiled calmly. Elena is looking once into his eyes and face, but after a longer moment Jake approached her lips and kissed her slowly.
