Catching A Snowflake (Damon Fanfiction)

Chapter 7: I'm only human

Evangeline P.O.V.

I'm shaking, I'm shaking so hard. It's impossible to stop. My breaths are coming out short, shallow. Its harder to breath here. Harder to feel anything here. My hands trembled as I force myself to wrap my hands around myself, caging my movements and trying hard to stop shaking. It was useless.

It was only now did I realize the shower was icy cold as it hit against my skin. The bathroom door was open, leaving the the icy cold air to break away into my room. Water droplets fell against my body soaking me, head to toe with my black beautiful gleaming dress still on.

I didn't think it was pretty anymore. It was after all covered in blood. Blood from that dead girl we found. Blood was everywhere. On the tree, pooling below her. Covered in me. A nightmare I wish to wake up from. Everything was a haze really.

I don't remember most of it but I do recall that I was too shock to even move. Stefan had carried me away, screaming for help. The police showed up stopping the party and dismantling that poor dead girl. I don't remember how I got home. Maybe it was Bonnie or Caroline. Stefan stayed back to make sure the rouge Vampire wasn't still out there. 

And as I lay there in the shower on the floor, my eyes barely able to see as the water was blocking my vision. My wet hair cascade down my sides, blocking my view of anything.

I wasn't cold, I wasn't hot. I didn't feel anything. Why didn't I feel anything? I was shock that's it. Terror still coursed through my veins. It was a need. An emotion of fear. Fear... A word and feeling that I had gotten use to over the months. 

Fear of dying. Watching my parent's die. Drowning. Breaking... Why does this happen to me? 

It wasn't the shock of the poor girl that made me afraid. It was all those memories I had locked up coming back to haunt me.

I heard a door opening downstairs and echoes of voices as the house filled with silent murmurs. I think Jenna wanted to leave me alone. Bonnie and Caroline probably filled her in on what happen and why I was covered in blood. 

I was scared. I was very scared...

Third Person P.O.V

"Where's Evangeline?" Stefan asked once he was inside the Gilbert's house. Jenna shrugged defeated, and walked towards the kitchen where Bonnie and Caroline sat waiting and worried. Jeremy and Elena was sitting on the couch a frown on their faces as they tried to sober up as quick as they could.

"She's upstairs," Caroline sighed looking up at Stefan. "We're waiting for her to come downstairs but..." Bonnie trails, looking over at Caroline. "The showers been running for an hour now." Jenna explained. "We called, we looked. Eva's in the shower fully clothed just staring into space." Jenna scratches her hair worry clear in her face.

"Did she... say anything?" Stefan asked hopefully. "No. She won't even talk." Jenna shakes her head and proceeded to sit on the stool. "Whatever you guys saw... it was messed up, I'm pretty sure it was horrible. The last time I saw Eva like this..." Caroline looks down and uncaps a water bottle taking huge sips.

"Was the day when she woke up in that hospital and found out that she was the only one that survived." Bonnie continues. Jeremy and Elena's head snap towards Bonnie at the mention of the accident. "I remember that day..." Elena shakes her head, trying to clear her memory. "We all did." Jeremy clenches his teeth, unable to look at anyone's faces.

"Why is it that every time Eva is happy something like this happens?" Caroline demanded sounding as if she was asking herself. "It could be a coincidence." Stefan suggested. "Yeah, well. The universe has some really sick mind if it is like that." Caroline hissed, folding her arms.
