Even if I wait forever

Chapter five

All I heard was screams. I am too weak to move. The last thing I remember was the fight with Katherine about turning them and then the sharp pain and the numbing feeling that came with it.

The town people threw me in a carriage. All I heard was something about a tomb underneath the church.

"What do you want me to do with her?"

"Lock her up with the rest."

Sounds like Mr Gilbert were in charge of this. The rest? What did that mean?

They carried me down the stairs into a tomb. They placed me down on the ground and grabbed my arms. They cuffed me to the wall and tied my feet up.

"Please." I cleared my throat. "Please don't leave me here."

"Sorry Miss but tonight all you evil creatures die. Don't you see that you are an abomination?"

I hang my head and tears ran down my cheek. Not because I was tied up with no escape but because no one will come and look for me. No one loved me enough.

The darkness around me was horrible. I felt like I was being sucked into oblivion. Every now and then you could hear snarls and chains rattling. I guess we were more that I thought. Some of them spoke to each other. Some was blaming Katherine for what happened. Some was blaming Stefan and others the founding families.

I knew it was Emily. She hated what the vampires did to the locals. She was silently meeting up with the council. Yes I knew who they were. I should've been more careful.

After a while the voices quieted down. The shuffling seemed to stop. I could feel my veins burning; it felt like I was on fire. My throat felt like it was forced to swallow whole rocks. I have no idea whether it is day or night or how many days it has been. All I knew was I could feel my skin tightening.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" The voice was so close. The heart beat so steady but suddenly quickened.
That is when I saw it a male figure. He was holding a picture next to my face. "This is her. Well Miss Emily, I have to give it to you, you were not crazy." He looked at me. "But maybe I am."

He broke the cuffs around my wrists and carried me out as quickly as he could. He smelled so good but I couldn't move a muscle. He pulled a sack over my head and placed me down on a soft surface.

"Don't worry Miss Darling. I am going to help you, train you and take care of you." He knows my name. Who is this mysterious person? And what does he want with me?

"I have her Emily, but I must admit that she looks worst than what you described... Are you sure it will work... Okay I believe you... Yes we are on our way to the facility now... Rest in peace, Miss Emily. Goodbye."
