Waking Up Underneath the Willow Tree

Chapter 1

When she woke up, it was dark and pitch black. She felt like she couldn't breathe and the walls were clasping around her. She had no clue where she was or even who she was. She couldn't remember a single thing. She searched around her self conscious and grabbed a name from it. Elena. That was her name. She just couldn't remember anything besides that tiny piece of information. Now all she needed to do was find out where the hell she was.

She looked around at her surrounding it was pitch black so she couldn't really see anything. She felt her way around and felt the cold edges of something that was smooth she tried to sit up, but all that accomplished was banging her head against something. She kicked around and realized that she was in a very tiny confined space. As if she was in...Oh no.

She clawed at the coffin panicking. How the hell did she get in a coffin? Her throat felt like it was burning. She had to find a way out of the coffin, but how?

With strength that she never knew she possessed Elena pushed the lid to the coffin up. Dirt collapsed around her as she coughed. She felt around the coffin and found a surgical mask in her coffin. What kind of sick fuck would do this to her?

She hurried up to put it on her as the dirt continued to fall. She clawed at the dirt not stopping It took about thirty minutes to finally break surface, but when she did she pulled herself out and removed the surgical mask gasping for air. How the hell had she done that and not died? How the hell did she end up in that coffin anyway?

She flopped herself over and coughed once again. Her throat was still burning and for whatever reason her stomach was screaming at her and her veins felt like sandpaper. She sat up. She had to get up and find some help.

Ignoring ever ounce of her body screaming, Elena looked around. Shit. It looked as if she were in a forest, but she couldn't let that stop her. She had to find a way out of there. She contiuned walking until she found a road.

Luckily a man stopped and she exhaled. Finally salvation. He ran to her with his eyes wide.

"Are you okay miss?"

"Where am I?"

"Your a couple of miles away from Mystic Falls, Virginia. Can you tell me your name?"

Her senses screamed at her as she moved towards the man. Her eyes rested on the veins in his neck. Her stomach growled and she touched it. There was no way this was happening.

"My name is Elena."

"Where are you from Elena?"

"I don't know. Can you please help me?"

She moved forward losing her balance and fell into the guys arms.

"Whoa are you okay there?"

"I'm so hungry."

"We'll get you some food after we get you to a hospital. Come on I can take you."

She looked at the man with tears streaming down her face,

"I'm so sorry for this."

Her teeth started hurting as they sharpened and her teeth sank into the guys neck. He screamed out in pain and tried to get Elena off, but for whatever reason she was too strong for him. How was she too strong?

Finally she broke skin as his blood nicked her tongue. Her stomach felt like it was exactly what she needed so she took m ore and more. She took as much as she needed to and after a while she didn't want to stop. She was just so thirsty.

The man dropped to his knees but Elena continued to drink despite the blood running down the white dress she was wearing. She drank from him until there was no blood left to eat. She pulled away as the man dropped all the way down.

Lifeless eyes stared back at her as she sprang up disgusted at what she had just done. She had just killed a person. She Killed A Person. Elena stepped away from the body as she saw another car heading towards them. She looked down at the blood on her dress.

It was everywhere. The dress was soaked with it. She was so screwed. The headlights got closer as a man with piercing blue eyes and black hair stepped out. She looked at him and droopped down to her knees as he met her eye level,

He touched her face stroking the blood on her face. She looked at him with pain and hurt in her eyes. She knew he shouldn't take pity on her, but she had to try to get him to understand.

"Please help me." was all she could manage before she passed out again.
