Dangerous Fate (on Hold)

Chapter 5

Elena's POV

Darkness surrounds me like a blanket that's lost all its heat, it's cold and lonely lying on this ground. Someone is calling me I don't know this person she calls out again and again she keeps calling for me but all I want to do is stay here on the ground.

"Elena, darling what am I going to do with you?" The stranger called out, in such a mothering tone so strange and comforting. I decide to call out to question who she is but my voice doesn't reach, I can't say anything no matter how hard I try.

"Elena your stronger than you know, but right now others need you, and you can't stay here you know." The stranger says all know it all like. My voice finally reaches "why can't I, here I can't be hurt, here I don't have to feel pain!" I shouted at the stranger.

"So, you want to run away is that it?" The stranger questions, "your running away from the pain and also the love that comes, do you want to become numb to everyone and everything?", I try to think do I? Do I really want to be numb? No but it hurts so much, why does it hurt? She answered for me as if she already knew me, "No, you don't your just scared but Elena there are people beside you that care just as much and risk so much as well, be brave darling I know it's scary but people need you to be strong." I get up off the ground and open my eyes and turn towards the stranger but I can't see her all that clearly she blurry, but I can tell she has long black hair, and pale skin she's wearing a long red dress with a lace belt that held a symbol on it I just can't remember where I've seen it before.

I stand up looking around in the silent dark trying to see if anything or anyone was here I tried to call for the stranger again but only to be met with silence. I start to sit again bringing my knees to my chest and I start to talk to myself maybe somehow I could think of a way out of this darkness.

"Great, El! Now I'm in bigger trouble than when this started ugh why do I have to listen to the stranger anyway?"

Someone answered me "because you can here the sincerity in her voice because you know she right" as I jumped up and looked around but her voice echoed and it's scaring me her voice is strong and sound eerily familiar like a melody.

"Great more strangers what am I a party? I didn't ask for your opinion! I didn't ask for any of this I want everything to go back to normal" I yelled into the dark still searching for the source of the voice she sounds close.

"Oh...But you did, can't you feel your own questions bubbling up in your heart and soul? Don't you even recognize this voice? Do you even understand why I answered questions that you never asked aloud? And even if you didn't ask for this it's happening don't run away like some coward isn't that how you lost your brother" She questioned me like she thought I knew the answers.

"How do you know that? And I wouldn't be confused if I knew the answers to your questions dammit, what do you want from me?!" I asked giving up on searching she sounds even closer I can only assume she will come to me.

"It's not not me that you should be asking I'm only here because you don't want to figure this out, what do you really need? How bout the truth? Your memories? How bout your dilectus ? When you answer those you'll know how to find me NOW WAKE UP!" She said right behind me her voice changed as she screamed.

"Wake up!" Vanessa screamed I smacked my head against Vanessa's as I woke up with a start causing both my head and Vanessa's to pound. "Shit El thanks for the thanks for saving me smack like I wanted to be smacked on my forehead today" she said sarcastically as she rubs her forehead gingerly looking around we were in my room but why? Last thing I remember. My memory hit me all at once nearly shattering Vanessa's eardrum "where's mom?!" I jolted as Vanessa manhandled me to lay back down screaming at the same volume "Stop El! Calm Down I know this hard but you need to rest".

I gave Vanessa a panicked looked as I laid back down in my bed I fearfully asked, "what happened V, what's going on? She was fine when we left...now she's gone" as trembled leaking a few tears. V gave me a stricken looked as she too let some of her tears fall as answer wobbly and vaguely that I need to rest some more before everything is explained. I nodded and turned my back to her as I hear her leave I bring the covers to my shoulder trying to shield myself from the pain but it doesn't work anymore with mom...gone I silently cry myself to sleep leaving all problems tomorrow.
