Two Months passed since the burning of the PAC, Elena sighed looking at Allia and Ivy lockers, which were right next to one another. There were flowers and candles by the lockers.
Some students were letting out their emotions, and then some were trying to be strong. Not many knew about Gabe, he was still a new student so many thought he had moved. Or something.
Elena had changed her hair color and style, Edward was gone some say he was in the building trying to be a hero. Although only two knew that was bull.
She had her hair cut short, with layers, it was now a soft blonde, she kept her style of clothes, but she had a feeling that this nightmare wasn't over.
"Hey, how are you doing?" Andy said, gently as he hugged Elena.
Elena shrugged then sighed, "I guess, I am ok due to what happened two months ago."
"That's in the past now. He is dead, we aren't going to be seeing him ever again." Andy said, smiling softly at Elena.
"I don't know, what if he somehow survived that?" Elena said, recalling how her stomach was twisting as they made their escape.
Andy shrugged then said, "Think, if he was still alive. We would of notice some change in criminal activity, or he would of came back."
Elena wanted to argue, but Andy would of just reasoned her out of it. There was no point in trying to win this one.
"Come on, there is a small restaurant. My cousin just recently opened it." Andy said, holding Elena's hands.
Elena couldn't help but smile then said, "Sure."
In 7th Elena was finishing up her science assignment, the teacher walked in tears, she wiped her eyes trying not to mess up her cheap make-up.
"We have lost another member of our family. Cary McCarty was found dead in her father's truck." The teacher said, sobbing.
Elena turned back and looked at where Cary used to sit. Carly did have a huge crush on Edward, although that couldn't be the reason she is dead.
Did she commit suicide, since her crush was dead? Edward didn't even know her name, so he couldn't of killed her.
Elena hit her head on the table, how many people would be killed before this year would end.
The restaurant had candles at the tables, a bar and classical music played over the speakers. Many couples were sitting together.
Elena had on a dark blue blouse, and skinny jeans, and a bracelet.
“Why, don’t you look stunning.” A voice said, from behind Elena.
The voice was dark, it was deceiving, like a butterfly. It had a beautiful outer wing design and then on the inside it was ugly.
Elena slowly turned, there stood Edward, he had short hair, and had hair gel, making some spikes, his skin was still spotless and pale.
His eyes were a dark brown, no red but you still couldn’t trust those eyes.
He had on a black jacket, a red button shirt, and jeans.
“What…the…” Elena said, her voice trembling.
“I know, I am one sexy beast.” Edward chuckled admiring his new coat.
“Thought you got taken down to hell.” Elena said, looking around hoping someone would jump out and be like, ‘gottca ya!’
“Nope, I am back.” Edward said, coming closer to Elena and wrapping his arms around her.
“We’re in public. I will scream.” Elena said, low.
Edward smiled and said, "I missed you."
"Unlikely." Elena said, looking around.
Edward looked at her and walked closer to Elena, "I did, all I wanted is you."
"So you killed my two best friends." Elena whispered.
Edward sighed then said softly, "I am sorry, please give me a second chance."
"Why shouldn't I call the cops on you right now." Elena said, low glaring at Edward.
Edward looked down at her, "Do I have to hurt you, Andy, or your mother?"
"You wouldn't." Elena said, backing up from Edward.
Who kept walking closer to her, he gently grabbed her hand and held it.
"Give me a second chance, or I will make sure your mother pays a nasty visit to the ER. If you tell Andy I am alive. You will be next."
Elena looked around, Edward put his arm around Elena, "Now let's get that date you promised me."
"What date?" Elena asked confused.
"Remember at Ivy brother birthday party. You said you would give me a great date." Edward said, smiling and leading Elena outside.
Edward lead Elena to his car, which was the same red mustang he had at Home Coming.
Once they were inside, Elena slowly looked over at Edward, "What happened to Carly McCarty?"
"Who?" Edward asked, starting the car up.
The car had a gentle smell of ax, he looked confused as if he didn't understand what she said.
"Carly McCarty, her father is vice principal, she was a sophomore? Now she is dead." Elena said, slowly.
Edward put the car in reverse, then drive, "Was she a cheerleader?"
Elena nodded once, Edward shrugged, "Why should I tell you anything?"
"Since I'm in your car with you, and giving you a date." Elena said, narrowing her eyes.
"So you trust me." Edward said, with a slight chuckle.
Elena looked out the window then said, "I never said that."
After few seconds of silence Edward looked at Elena and smiled, "You're blonde now. I like it."
"Was hoping you wouldn't recognize me." Elena mumbled under her breath.
Edward chuckled then said, "I would recognize you no matter what."
"Where are we going?" Elena asked, looking out the window raising an eyebrow.
Edward turned the music on, and didn't answer her question.
"Tell me what happened to Carly." Elena said, looking back at Edward.
He didn't say anything, Elena turned down the music then repeated herself but shouting now, "What did you do to her!"
"She came to me." Edward said, shrugging.
Elena was hoping her phone wouldn't ring, or anything that would grab Edward attention towards it.
"What are you talking about?" Elena asked, confused.
Edward smiled and said, "She always made a crush on me, I was in need of some pleasure. She wanted it. Of course I made sure she had it protected. Outta give me points for that. Yet she was going to open her mouth and say she had sex with me. So had to keep her silent."
"You raped her!" Elena asked, shouting.
"God no. She wanted it. You dont want it though." Edward said, glancing over at Elena.
Elena was finding it harder to speak, one she thought Edward was killed in the fire.
He killed two of her friends, and Andy's future step-brother, and he tried to hurt her.
"Well maybe things would be different, if you didn't go and act like that." Elena said, narrowing her eyes.
Edward looked at her then said, "If you are going to be like this, why not I just take you out. And break Andy's heart? Killing two birds with one stone."
"No. Don't." Elena said, believing he was going to run the car off the road.
Edward chuckled slightly at how he could scare her.
"Now, lets pick up where we left off." Edward said, stopping the car.
Elena unbuckled herself, and unlocked the door and threw herself out the car, she rolled down the hill. She landed on a ledge, she had to get help. The police, anyone.
"Let's not do this Elena." Edward shouted, walking down the hill slowly.
Elena ran down the hill, she tripped over a log, and cut her knee on a sharp rock.
"Ow." Elena mumbled.
The fog slowly rolled in, she hid behind a tree.
"Are we playing hide and sneak? Hide all you want. But I will find you." Edward shouted.
Elena looked at her phone, there was no cell phone service.
"Always no signal." Elena whispered.
Elena ran deeper into the forest, knowing there was a road nearby.
She had to hurry, this was similar to a snake stalking a mouse, the snake was taking its time, knowing the mouse would run out places to hide.
Her heart was pounding out of her chest, she was sure enough that would be enough for Edward to track her.
She fell onto the road, no cars where on the road, she pushed herself onto her knees, her arm was jerked pulling her onto her feet. Edward was there, glaring at her, he gripped her arms, making it sure there was no way for her to struggle.
"You are such an idiot." Edward said, low glaring at her.
Then out of nowhere a car came smashing into Edward sending him up in the air over the car. And he landed four feet behind the car.
Elena was completely unharmed her heart was pounding at what just happened, her cousin Valerie was there.
She had short light brown hair, she had on a white jacket, a anime shirt on under and jeans. she had her lip pierced she looked about nineteen.
She had a very thin body, although she wouldn't take crap from anyone.
"Elena? Is that you!" Valerie asked.
Elena nodded Valerie then said, "Get in."
She obeyed and got inside the truck and locked the door.
"Drive!" Elena said, in panic.
Valerie slammed her foot on the gas and they drove away, leaving the body not moving.
He slowly lifted his head and popped his neck, his fangs came out and he let out a low snarl, his eyes glowing blood red, Elena could see the bright red eyes in her mirror.
Elena was shaking and she turned her head to focus on the road ahead, "Who did I just hit." Valerie asked, wondering if she should call 911.
"My...psychopath of a ex." Elena said, thinking he was going to come out nowhere and kill both of them.
"Oh shit. Should I call someone?" Valerie asked.
Elena shook her head, "His brother is the chief, he's safe no matter what."
"I mean call for an ambulance." Valerie asked.
"No." Elena said, sighing.
She looked at her cousins car, it was a CR-Z Honda, a light blue. She had a small stuff animal on the dash board, she had the radio on. Which was playing one of the newest songs.
"Where should I drop you off?" Valerie asked.
"Where are you heading?" Elena asked, wondering why her cousin was back.
Valerie looked down at her Android which currently had a map on it, Elena smirked she was too busy checking her phone, and hit her ex.
"A hotel, want to come with me?" Valerie asked.
Elena nodded and then said, "Sure."
"Great." Valerie said, with a laugh.
Elena had a sickening feeling, where she knew Edward was pissed, and was going to find a way to make her crawl back to him.
At the hotel, Valerie was in the bathroom taking a shower, when Elena phone was buzzing, it was Edward.
She hit ignore, then it started buzzing again, Elena repeated what she did. Over and over almost ten times. Then she hit the answer button and shouted, "What the hell do you want!"
"Elena? You ok?" Andy said, quietly.
Elena exhaled and was relieved that it was Andy instead of the Devil.
"Yeah, sorry." Elena said, sitting down in a chair.
Andy was talking in a whisper, "Where are you?"
"With my cousin?" Elena said, confused.
Andy was silent then whispered, "Call the police."
"Wait, what's wrong?"
"He's back and he just...killed your mom." Andy said, softly.
Elena was shaking and said, "What?"
There was a long pause of silence, then Andy whispered, "I came to give you something...and the door was kicked in. I found her dead, in the kitchen."
"Oh...my...god." Elena said, on the verge of tears.
"I'm sorry, want me to come and find you?" Andy said, gently.
Elena was choking on her tears, "Please...I'm at SkyLine Villa room 237."
"I'll be there." Andy said, putting the car in drive.
Elena managed to get the words out, "I love you."
"I love you too." Andy said, gently then hanging up.
Then a text came through it was from Edward, "Some mistakes are forever..."
A hour passed, there was a knock at the door, Valerie was drying her hair, in the bathroom. Elena looked through the peep hole it was Andy.
Elena opened it, Andy walked in and hugged Elena quickly.
"I'm so glad you are ok."Andy said, softly.
Elena couldn't get any words out, Elena shoved the words out, "I am glad you are here."
"Were you bleeding?" Andy asked, looking at her knee where she cut herself.
Elena sighed and said, "Yeah, he...chased me in the woods."
Andy had anger in his eyes, he was trying to hold it in, he was controlling his breath best he could.
"Come on." Elena said, taking Andy into the second bedroom of the hotel room, she let herself fall onto the bed.
Andy sat next to her, and looked down at her, "Tell me about everything that happened."
"I went to meet you, you didn't show up he did." Elena mumbled with her face in the bed.
Andy looked confused then said, "I told you, I cancelled it cause my dad wasn't feeling good. Didn't you get my text?"
Elena looked up at him then asked, "What text?"
There was silence, Andy sighed then stroked her hair, "Never mind, so what happened after he kidnapped you?"
"He took me in his car, and tried to start where we left off at Home Coming, and I escaped ran through the woods. He chased me and was about to probably break my arm, when my cousin ran into him."
"I want to meet this cousin now." Andy said, with a slight laugh.
Elena sighed, and was staring at the wall, "How can he be alive?"
"I don't know, but he is dead next time I see him." Andy said, low.
"No, he will kill you. First Ivy, Allia, Gabe and now my mother. I can't loose you." Elena said, trying to hold her tears back.
Andy said in a whisper, "He won't. Now I have to go before anyone notices I am missing. Promise me you will keep your phone on."
Elena nodded, Andy nodded once then kissed Elena on the forehead.
He got up and left the hotel suite and went down to his motor cycle.
Elena sighed, and changed into extra clothes her cousin had for sleeping. "You ok?" Valerie asked.
"I don't know, everything has gone down hill since Junior year started." Elena sighed, laying down in her bed.
Valerie looked at her then said, "I am sorry, I am here if you need me."
Elena nodded and rolled over and closed her eyes.
"Elena..." A voice growled in her ear.
The voice, it was like fire, dark as midnight sky and sharp as a knife.
Her eyes shot open, a hand was resting on her shoulder, "I found you..."
"No..don't." Elena whispered.
Edward chuckled then growled low, "Come with me, and let me show you what happens. When you been a bad girl."
He backed up and gave her some space, she got up once she was on her feet. Edward grabbed her by the arm and leaped out the window and scaled the way, like a super hero. They got to the top of the hotel, which was 27 floors. Edward yanked Elena to the edge of the roof.
"Now, how fat are you. You know to see how fast you will fall." Edward whispered into Elena's ear.
Elena looked down at the side walk, there would be no way she would live.
Edward shoved her off the building, Elena let out a scream as she fell to her death, then she was yanked into a window by a aggressive arm.
She was thrown into a wall with the strength of a body builder, knocking the wind out of her.
Elena coughed up some blood, and rubbed her head, "Now wasn't that fun." Edward said, coming out of the shadows.
"Why are you doing this?" Elena said, in pain.
Edward smiled and brushed some of her hair out of the way, "Oh sweet heart, why should I tell you anything."
"You will never get a real girlfriend." Elena said, shaking.
He only smiled and said, "I have you, and one day me and you will be one."
Edward leaned in and started kissing Elena roughly, pinning her against the wall, he gripped her arms tight, his knee was stabbing her leg breaking a bone.
"Ow you're hurting me!" Elena screamed in pain.
Edward didn't listen, he kissed her neck roughly, then he slid his hand into her pants.
Then he stopped and chuckled, "Oh not tonight, I have a ideal setting for us. And you will enjoy it or say good bye to your last remaining loved ones."
Edward slapped her knocking her onto her side, he bared his fangs at her, "You should of never rejected me at Home Coming."
Elena laid on the floor shaking, blood ran from her nose, and the dark figure was standing by the window. He chuckled and then he was gone.
Elena cleaned up her nose, and put on some make-up and looked in the mirror, she had to go visit her dad, even though he was hardly home. He did love her, Elena took a bus which dropped her off one block away from her house. The house was two-story, town house, a old tree with a tire swing , the grass was green, the lawn was well taken care of.
She walked inside, and there were cops everywhere inside, Elena found her father who was grieving in the back yard, he had his face in his hands, he had on a business suit, it was a dark blue, a white under shirt and a black tie, he looked about forty-five, he had short blonde hair.
His skin was a dark tone. And it looked like he didn't get any sleep last night.
"Hey dad." Elena said, looking at him.
He lifted his head, "Hey..."
She sat down next to him, on the bench, "How are you doing?"
"How do you think Elena? My wife--your mother is gone!" He snapped.
Elena looked at her father understanding how much it hurts, "Dad I'm still here."
He wrapped her in his arms, hugging her, "Please don't leave also. First your mother, can't loose my girl."
"You won't dad. I promise." Elena said, softly.
Her father nodded and sighed, "I will make some funeral arrangements."
Elena nodded and sat on the tree swing, she looked at the passing cars, then Andy pulled up on his motor cycle and looked at her, taking off his helmet, showing a warming gentle smile, "Hey Elena."
Andy walked over to her and Elena went over to him and smiled softly, "Hey, glad to see you are ok."
"I told you I would be ok." Andy said, wrapping her in his arms.
Elena rested her head on Andy's chest, "He is never going to give up."
"We will find a way, now come on let's take a ride." Andy said, getting on the motor cycle.
She had a slight laugh, and walked over to him and got on the motor cycle.
He started it and took off, they drove down the straight road, they went off into a forest, a bridge was taken out, "Andy! Stop!" Elena shouted.
"I can't! Someone messed with the brakes!" Andy said, fighting with the brakes, trying to get it to stop.
Andy took off the helmet and put it on Elena's head, "What are you doing!" Elena asked, panicking.
"Protecting you!" Andy shouted, at the last minute Andy grabbed Elena and threw themselves off the motor cycle, but it was too late they rolled down the hill into the river.
Andy held onto Elena keeping her head above water.
"It's ok, I got you!" Andy said, keeping Elena close to him.
Then Edward was on a fallen tree which acted like a tree, he was standing over the river waiting for them.
"Shit." Andy said, glaring up at Edward.
Edward grinned and grabbed Elena by the arm, yanking her up, Andy stopped and tried to pull up, Edward kicked Andy in the face, "No!" Elena screamed.
Andy fell back into the current, and was taken down the river.
"I was wondering where you were." Edward said, breathing onto her neck.
"If you killed him, you can go to hell." Elena said, low.
Edward chuckled then said, "Oh my dear, you can tell me that all you want. But that wish won't come true."
He lead her away, smirking at how the currents were getting more violent.
"Now let me ask you a question, will you be mine? If you refuse I will make sure Andy is dead in seconds." Edward said, low.
Elena looked at him then said, "What do you mean. Yours."
Edward chuckled then grabbed her hands and held him in one hand, "Sex. Love. What more could WE desire?"
"Me being a slave, or a wife." Elena said, low.
"Both." Edward smiled darkly.
"I rather be dead, then be with you." Elena said, narrowing her eyes.
Edward chuckled then said, "Don't lie to yourself, you know you love me still. I remember when you were a freshmen and would stare at me, all the time. That little shy girl so cute."
"That girl isn't here anymore!" Elena shouted, as she slapped Edward hard as she could. He let go of her, as she ran away from him.
Her heart was pounding out of her chest, she ran to the police station begging someone would help her. Andy was somewhere down the river, Elena heart was aching hoping he was alive. Also worrying that Edward was in the same woods as he was.
The station smelled of coffee, a woman was at the desk drinking some coffee.
"I need to report a murder!" Elena shouted.
The woman looked up at her with wide eyes then said, "Go on."
"It happened last year, but the killer is back." Elena said, her voice trembling.
"We will get a officer to help you." The woman said.
Elena was trying to calm herself, she walked outside, as a officer followed her.
He had a uniform on, he looked about fourty-two, he had some dark hair showing out from under the hat.
"What's wrong miss?" The officer asked.
He had a Scottish accent, he didn't seem to concerned on the issue.
"My ex, he killed three people last year, and he pushed my--- friend into the river. He has tried to hurt me as well." Elena said, looking around unsure where Edward could be.
"Don't worry miss, I will make sure he doesn't come near you." The officer said.
Elena nodded, she hurried to the hospital begging that Andy was there.
********
Andy laid there in the hospital bed, slowly waking up with a few bruised bones, a whimper came from the halls.
"Where is he?" A dark voice growled.
"I can't give you that information sir!" The nurse said, shaking.
"Well, no point in killing a worthless piece of crap like you." Edward said, annoyed.
He dropped the nurse, placing his boot on her neck, crushing it, "you'll, forget I was ever here."
The nurse repeated what he said, Edward smirked, then stepped over the nurse, and looked in each room.
Andy pushed himself out of the bed, he heard Edward's boots walk down the quiet hallway.
"Come out Andy." Edward shouted.
Andy looked at the window, then opened it he was three floors up, it was a long drop down, it was possible to survive it.
"Andy!" Elena shouted, she was sitting in the police car.
He looked down at her, Elena got out of the car as it started to rain, "Elena what're you doing here!" Andy shouted.
"Come on Andy! We need to go now!" Elena shouted.
Elena ran inside the hospital, she took the stairs fast as she could, all the time at the gym was paying off.
She knew the hospital better then anyone, she took a short-cut to where Andy was.
If she could get there before, Edward did they may have a chance of getting out live.
She found the room where Andy was, Elena ran in and threw her arms around Andy. She kissed him gently on the cheek.
"I'm glad you're alive." Elena said, in tears.
Andy smiled gently then said, "I wouldn't do that to you."
"Glad to see you both are alive." The officer said, standing in the door way, with his hands behind his back.
He walked closer to him, almost a stalk.
"Yes, now if you would arrest Edward!" Andy snapped.
"Well---." The officer said.
Then he was silent, the officer had blood came out of his mouth, then his ribs were snapped one by one his head was twisted then thrown off down the hall, and he dropped dead to the ground, there stood Edward over his body, "Don't you hate the law, always getting in the way."
Andy stood in front of Elena, "Go to hell."
Edward chuckled then said, "Isn't earth hell? Reality being a nightmare. In reality she is mine."
"Go away now!" Elena snapped.
Edward came closer, Andy punched Edward in the face then kneed Edward in the gut, which sent him flying backwards.
"That's it." Edward growled, then lunged at Andy.
Elena ran in front of Andy, as Edward knocked her to the ground, then threw her out the window.
She landed hard on the grass, knocking her into a coma.
"Elena!" Andy shouted, in pain.
"Stupid bitch." Edward said, with a smirk.
Andy looked around the room the officer dropped his gun, Andy quickly grabbed the gun and loaded it and pressed it against Edward's forehead.
"You don't deserve to even go to jail, you need to be killed on the spot." Andy said, low.
Edward smirked then said, "Can you even kill me, honestly are you that cold blooded?"
All Andy could think about, was Elena could possibly be dead by now.
Andy pulled the trigger, but right before he did Edward ripped into Andy's body and ripped a rib cage bone out.
Both of the boy fell to the ground, blood was everywhere in room.
*************
The police took both Elena and Andy to the ER, as they took Edward to the graveyard and buried him.
As Elena slowly woke up she looked around, unaware of where she was or anything. Andy laid in the bed next to her, and gently held her hand.
She looked at him and pulled it away, "Who are you?"
Andy eyes widened at her, a doctor came in then said, "She has lost her memory, she has lost four years of it. Even if she known you longer then that. She is afraid, we need to keep her here for awhile. Please don't try and convince her or put lies in her head. She will believe anything right now."
Elena was shaking, as she pulled the cover over her head. Andy sighed as he watched her hide and how weak she looked right now.
**********
Meanwhile...
There was a old tomb, the coffin laid in the middle of it, as the moon was reflecting onto it, everything was calm and easy, the lid went flying off of it, the body laid there still not moving, then his eyes shot open, they were their blood red, he grinned and sat on the coffin, "So little Elena has lost her memory, this should be interesting." Edward grinned looking at the city.
He jumped off the coffin and made his way to the hospital.
