The Gilbert Witch 6

I'll Remember

Cemetery Outside Of Mystic Falls

Third Person Pov

The following day, Elena walks through a cemetery on the outskirts of town all on her own.

Today was a good day. Summer is officially over and I couldn't be more thrilled. "Elena voiced over.

Elena looks around quickly and enters a crypt.

Sophomore year... I guess this is the year to pick a major and start carving out your path in life. So that's what I did. You're looking at the future Doctor Elena Gilbert. "Elena voiced.

At Whitmore

Elena, along with a dozen other students, are dressed in khakis and maroon t-shirts for an internship at a hospital.

Pop quiz.. Mr. Weatherly complains of chest pain and shortness of breath. Can anyone tell me what tests we run? "Jo asked.

A young male student lifts his hand up, but the instructor overlooks him.

Gilbert... "Jo called.

Elena looks frazzled at first, but she quickly regains her composure.

Uh.. a pulmonary angiogram provides a clear picture of the blood flow in the arteries of the lungs, which is what we look for in a pulmonary embolism; a condition in which Mr. Weatherly's symptoms are common. "Elena answered.

Good. Somebody's read ahead. Remember that. You'll need that in 3 years. "Jo said.

Elena looks pleased with herself, but that expression dissipates swiftly.

Here's the bedpan you need to know about today... "Jo said.

The instructor hands Elena the bed pan without hesitation.

Moving on.. "Jo said.

As Jo leads the students along, a male student turns to Elena.

I was impressed. "He said.

Thanks. "Elena smiled.

Back In The Crypt

Ok.. so maybe I spent the day observing, but at least now we have unlimited access to blood bags. And trust me, we need all the help we can get. "Elena voiced over.

Elena pulls out a small pouch containing spices and herbs from her pocket.

She dumps them into a small bowl and starts crushing them up.

Some of us are still getting the hang of the whole "drinking other people's blood" thing. "Elena said.

At Whitmore

Alaric empties the contents of a blood bag into a cup at the front of the classroom.

Elena walks in.

Want some? "Alaric offered.

That's alright. I had some on the way over. You know... this will never not be weird. "Elena told him smiling.

What? That some ancient witch turned me into a vampire, or that four months ago, I rose from the dead? "Alaric stated.

Elena stood quiet for a minute.
