Thud! Elena fell. Dark shadows felt as if they were moving but she knew the only thing moving was the mysterious man chasing her. Without second thoughts Elena got up and ran. Brown hair was now blotched with blood and dirt. Trying to avoid the tree stumps was hard when they appeared suddenly. With the last ounce of energy she could muster up she ran faster but it was all in vain when she stumbled over a stump. Laying there on the cold hard ground she gave up all hope and admitted defeat, the man chasing her was going to get her.

Then it happened she saw him. His crystal blue eyes pierced her soul. A chill went through her body. When she calmed down from the sudden chill she realized this man wasn't wearing a shirt, but she didn't care. The set of abs he had just added on to how much she wanted to keep him shirtless. His hair was dark brown and it fell perfectly. Elena tried to get up but she was still weak, running in the woods was tiring and now even if this man was evil she could only pull out the white flag.

The man walked closer to her, his facial features didn't change, almost non-existent. He extended his hand out to her and she took it, knowing that either way she was at his mercy. Elena felt herself being picked up and held bridle style. She felt warmth surround her freezing body and her eyes closed as she drifted to sleep.

When she woke there was a strange substance in her mouth, wanting to take a breath she had to swallow so without knowing what it was she swallowed and hoped for the best. It tasted a bit like metal but sweeter, it reminded her like something.

A door opened and there stood the man who saved her, but this time with a shirt to her bitter disappointment. The man chuckled at her reaction, "Disappointed I see. You know I can always take it off, just ask," a smirk appeared on his face.

Elena rolled her eyes, she knew there was something about him that she didn't like and now she knew what it was, this man was cocky.

"In your dream would I ever want to see that!" she counted the best she could even though they both knew it was a lie.

"Just so you know my name is Damon."

Elena went silent, but her silence didn't last. Damon was right next to her on the bed. He touched her head were a deep wound was closed to being fully healed. Remembering that she had fallen many times and the wounds had started to accumulate she wondered how did she not feel the pain and how were they fully healed?

"How are my wounds healed, they were so bad and no medicine can heal them that fast," curiosity struck Elena, and it made Damon go quiet.

"Some secrets are better left unknown. You'll know sooner or later," Damon looked down.

Elena knew she shouldn't trust this man but she couldn't help but to, there was something that she knew she could trust about him. Flashbacks wanted to appear but they didn't.

"Why am I here, any normal person would have left me for dead or just took me to a hospital, but you chased me into the woods and took me to some random place in the middle of," she got up and looked outside, which was pitch black but look rather deserted, "yup middle of nowhere."

"To put it simply I need you, and since you where only about to die all alone in the woods you needed me. Now you can't leave no matter what you do I can track you down," shivers entered Elena's body. She couldn't tell if she trusted him anymore, this was just too confusing for her to put together.

Damon got up from the bed then headed towards the door without anymore words. Elena leaned back in the bed and decided to take nap, she needed sleep and when she awoke she'd hope it was all a dream.

While Elena slept Damon went and grabbed a cup of blood. This girl was driving him insane, normally he would just chase a girl into the woods and kill her for a meal, but this one was different. He couldn't just kill her like all the others; this girl was different from the rest.

Elena's eyes flew open and she screamed. She positioned herself on the bed for she could sit up. Breathing heavily she looked around for anything or anybody. As soon as she screamed Damon came running inside, who was outside trying to clear his mind, but Elena's scream interrupted any thoughts he was having. The door busted open revealing Damon on the other side, "Elena what is it?" he rushed to the bed in a panic.

"I'm fine Damon, I just had a nightmare. Wait," Elena paused trying to figure out something, "how do you know my name? I've never told you it."

Damon went silent, he couldn't tell her the truth, and even if he did she would never believe him.

"You'd never believe me if I told you. You'll learn in time Elena, I've told you this before you shouldn't keep asking questions you don't want to know the answer to," Damon tried avoiding this happening but this girl was persistent when it came to these things.

Elena became mad, "What am I not going to believe, about the only thing I won't believe was that he was a god, which he probably does by the way he acts," she thought aggravated.

By then Damon had already left before things got out of hand and he did something he would regret for the rest of his life. The rest of the night was quiet for both of them, neither wanted to say a word to the other. Damon didn't know how to speak to her anymore and Elena was pissed off to say the least. By 10 that night both of them were in bed and asleep by 11.

The next morning Damon woke up first and made sure Elena was still there, and then got a drink before she woke up. Not too long after Damon finished the last sip of his drink Elena appeared in the kitchen.

"Glad to see you didn't run away during the night. I would have been disappointed to have to hunt you down, but the likes of you finding yourself back in civilization before I got to you would be slim. There aren't any other homes, roads, or human life around here for miles," Damon smirked in victory; this girl couldn't get away even if she tried.

Elena side, it was pointless to escape and now her fears were confirmed, she was never getting out of this living hell.

"I'll be in my room if you need me, you a free to do whatever you would like as long as it doesn't include leaving this house, if you want to do anything outside of it you will come to me before hand." Damon walked into his room, this girl tired him out more then she should be.

Elena looked around think what could she do, Damon wouldn't play with her and she didn't know the place well enough to do anything so she sat down on the couch to try and figure something to do. While on the couch she heard a ring and then the couch started to vibrate. Wondering what it was she got up to look on the couch, and there in a crease of the cushions sat an iPhone Curious of who was calling she picked it up and looked at who it was.

"Stefan Salvatore".
