Chapter 39

Not Edited.

Elena

If I knew anything at all, it was that none of this was over. Although Hayden did shoot me, she still has to deal with the fact that there is other people out there wondering where I had run off to. I didn't feel pain anymore, I was numb.

  Don't think.

If I don't think then maybe I could finally wake up, maybe everything will be over and I will be free. Free of all this hatred, free of pain from betrayal, and free from all this damn guilt.

    Why do I feel guilty?

I know that once I am free I won't get out so easily, I will have to do some damage.  However, I do have guilt from what had happened with Hayden. I have no idea why but, I do. I pushed her do what she had to and I don't regret it, it wasn't the fact of me wanting her to shoot me— no, but the fact that I wanted to test how brave she was.

   I knew Hayden was a strong girl and I knew she did what she felt would please other people or would make people proud of her.

Hayden was that girl that wanted everybody to like her and she had to always be first.

    It all makes sense now, she wanted to execute everyone who was above her and to her– to which she thought was me. I may have been above her in her opinion but Hayden was the attention hogger in school. We start school soon and with everything going on, school would have to wait.

My mind drifts off somewhere else and I think hard about it.

  Harry.

Where was he? Did he notice I was gone? All these questions sworn my brain like a bunch of birds.

Damon.

Damon was another thing on my mind. He had made a big deal about finding out what Levi was up to, meanwhile no one believed him. I had to wake up, find out where I was and figure a way out. I had no idea if I was just being paranoid or if I really felt as though I was chained up. I couldn't move and I began to thrash around.

  I couldn't move them and suddenly I felt as though I was out of breath, my shirt all of a sudden became soaked and red coloring inked my shirt.

I was cold.

I screamed out in pain as something jabbed into my side with every movement I made.

  I was scared.

This was my fear. That I would give them the satisfaction of knowing they had hurt me. I had to stop this, I had to get out of here.

Here? Where was here?

   My eyes fluttered open, where was I? there was a little bright light pointing at me, causing my eyes to shut immediately. My throat was extremely dry, I swallowed winding at the soreness. The door creaked open and I shut my eyes tightly.

  "Rise and shine sweetheart." A voice said and I opened my eyes once again. "What do you want?" I croaked out.

   "Eager are we? I have a surprise for you Elliebear." Elliebear? Only one person has ever called me Elliebear.

    Everything seemed to have come back to me, Hayden had shot me after I found out she was Levi and Eric's sister. "Where am I?" I asked and she laughed. "No questions, Eric can you bring in Lydia, Johnny, Bri and Brookie and of course our surprise." She instructed and he left.
