I Choose For Me

My name is Elena Gilbert, and my life was pretty normal, well as normal as a teenager's life can get that was until my parents crashed off the side of Wickery Bridge. The night my parents died in that crash is what started the avalanche of sad and unusual events in my now not so normal life. Since kindergarten I have had four best friends, Caroline Forbes, Bonnie Bennett, Matt Donovan, and Tyler Lockwood. I have a brother, Jeremy, then, there is Stephan and Damon Salvatore. Now have you ever heard the quote, "do not judge a book by its cover"? If so, that quote describes the situation with my friends completely to say the least.

Bonnie is a witch; her family tree originated with the Salem Witches. Caroline, Stephan, and Damon were all created by their psychotic bitch of an ex-girlfriend Katherine. My brother, Jeremy, has been able to see the ghost of his ex-girlfriends ever since Bonnie brought him back to life. Then, there is Tyler who is dating Caroline, he is one of the only two hybrids alive. By Hybrids, I mean part vampire part werewolf. Only problem with that is a werewolf's bite is fatal to a vampire and vise versa. Last but not least is Matt. He is the only human in the group stuck in this horror filled reality.

***Flashbacks***

"Matt, watch out!" I yelled as he swerved and ran off the side of Wickery Bridge. "Matt, Matt, Matt, Wake up, Matt!" I yelled as I saw Stephan, trying to open the driver's side door. As he finally got the door open he reached over to grab me, but I shook my head no and pointed towards Matt. As he got Matt out, I remember my eyes closing and thinking this is ironic; my parents died on this bridge, and now so am I, and darkness came over me.

*** End of Flashback***

Wow, it is hard to think that reality for me is waking up in a hospital bed. I finally began to wake up and realized where I was I wished I was anywhere but here. Then I heard the two most amazing voices that I have heard. "Where is she?" one voice said. Damon, I thought as memories began flooding back. "Katherine," a random guy said as I was walking to the parking lot to wait for my parents.

"Um, no, I'm-," I said as I looked around to see if there was someone else around that he could be talking . "I'm Elena," I finished.

"Oh, you, you just look. I'm sorry. But, you really remind me of someone. I'm Damon," he said.

"Not to be rude or anything, Damon, but it's kinda creepy that you're out here in the middle of nowhere," I said.

"You're one to talk. You're out here all by yourself," He countered.

"Its Mystic Falls nothing bad ever happens here," I said. After a long silence I said. "I got into a fight with my boyfriend." I said after a long silence.

"About what? May I ask?" Damon asked holding his hand up as if he was surrendering.

"Life, Future ,he has it all mapped out." I answered. "You don't want it?" He asked. "I don't know what I want."

"Well, that's not true you want what everybody wants," he replied.

"What a mysterious stranger who has all the answers?" I asked.

"Hunh, let's just say I've been around a long time, I've learned a few things."

"So, Damon tell me what is it that I want," I said.

"You want a love that consumes you. You want passion, adventure, and even a little danger," he said looking at me in the eyes and smirking, but I couldn't help but to smile back.

"So, what do you want?" I asked him.

"Um- honk, honk..."

"That's my parents;" I told him.
