One of the first friends that Elena ever made was her neighbor from across the street, Melanie Dryden. She was one of the people that Elena was closest to growing up after her sister Maria. Whatever time that Elena wasn’t spending watching over her sister she spent with Melanie. The Dryden household became like a safe-place for Elena to go to when she was feeling stressed out by her home life. A place to go where she didn’t have to worry or stress out and that was mainly because of Melanie being there.

Where Elena had a knack for knowing how to fix people’s physical injuries, Melanie knew what to say to lighten the emotional load. The warmth and capacity for caring that she had was just as strong as Elena’s. Which made Elena gravitate even closer to her grateful for someone like her. There was never a lack of funny stories or pranks in mind when it came to Melanie. She could brighten up Elena’s day like no one else could and have her laughing within seconds with whatever quirky joke was on the mind.

However this friendship was doomed to come to an end. When Elena decided that she wanted to enlist the first person that she told was Melanie. This sparked an argument as Melanie was strongly against the idea of her best friend putting her life on the line. They both cared about each other too much and the emotions made the argument spiral and things were said that both of them wouldn’t have said otherwise. Causing them to part on bad terms and though Elena tried to find her when she returned home she never could.
