Wreckless (Vampire Diaries)

6

When I wake up I’m afraid, somebody else might take my place...

"Why isn't she waking up!" Someone whispered violently.

"The doctor says she may not wake up Elena." A softer voice whispered, "You just have to wait, and give it time."

I could almost name that voice, but my head started aching before I could even think about. I tried opening my eyes, but they were just forced close. I struggled to even move my hand, and to my success my fingers twitched. 

"Did you see that!?" The same voice from the start whispered. 

By the time I remember whose voice that belonged to, the darkness took over. 

I could hear people fighting back in forth, "Elena, calm down, go home, relax, and I'll call you if anything exciting happens." A sarcastic tone argued.

I heard a huff, and then footsteps, with a door slamming.

I tried opening my mouth, to say her name but my tongue was thinking something different.

"He's coming".

.........................

"Riley, I-I need you to wake u-up". I could feel the warmth of someones hand on mine.

The voices were back, and a little clearer than last time.

I wanted to tell who ever was talking to me to stop crying, and stop worrying about me. But my mouth didn't move. I struggled, a bit to open what was mine, but to no avail. 

Maybe I could move my fingers like last time. I used all my strength to squeeze the hand in mine. 

The hand squeezed my hand back, and gasped.

"Riley if your in there give me a sign." The eager voice whimpered in hope.

I moved my thumb over the soft hand. I felt a wet drop of liquid drop on my arm.

There were footsteps moving farther away from me in a quick pace. There was a sound of a swinging door, and than that same voice.

"Damon, shes moving." There were multiple footsteps, which only confused me more since all I could see was the back of my eyelids. The footsteps stopped, and than there were footsteps coming from my left, that now seemed like they were stomping all over me, which, of course, they weren't. But they were pretty close to my liking. The anonymous person touched my hand, and held the hand on top of mine.

On the opposite side there were footsteps coming towards me.

"Keep your hand there, Damon. And ask her something." Elena whispered. Why were they whispering it's not like I couldn't hear them.

The hand on my left grasped mine tightly. "Riley, can you move your fingers like you did for Elena." He talked to me like I was some toddler. 

Just to get on his nerves I didn't do anything. I would be smirking if my mouth wasn't practically glued together.

I heard Damon sigh in frustration, and drop my hand to the side of the bed.

"Riley, I know your in there, Elena needs you to wake up. And your hurting her by doing this." The pain in his voice made me feel sad.

And did he really think that it was my fault that I couldn't move, and felt paralyzed. If anything I wanted to get out of this room it smelled like... sick people.

I heard a whimper from my right and than a groan from my left. Than there was a loud sound, and a stinging sensation on my left cheek.

"Damon"! Elena shrieked. I could already picture him shrugging.
