Kidnapped
Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries.
Confused. Yeah, that pretty much summed it up. Elena was confused. Had she really just kissed Damon? Not just allowed him to kiss her but she had actually actively kissed him. What was she doing? The truth was that she was caught in the moment, she hadn't really thought about it. She didn't know if she was over Stefan or even if she could be when it seemed like he was just beginning to feel again. So yeah, she was confused.
She sighed and turned to stare out of the window of the car, not that she could see much, it was too dark. Elena felt a shiver of anxiousness run through her as she remembered where they were heading. To visit Mary Porter; Scary Mary. She can't be pleasant if she'd earned a nick-name like that. Elena wondered if she would even tell them who had turned her. She hoped it was Klaus, otherwise Damon wouldn't think twice about killing him, even if Tyler would die as well.
"Wait, pull over here." Jeremy said, gesturing to a seemingly abandoned house. Damon pulled over and they all got out of the car.
"This is the address."
"Looks about right" commented Damon.
That's reassuring, she thought, not creepy at all.
"Wait here." She said to Jeremy. He wasn't happy about it but he eventually agreed.
They entered the house to find it filled with various plies of seemingly random stuff spread all over the place. There were lots of books and newspaper clippings but also less conventional stuff like souvenirs and piles of posters and fliers. Elena used the light on her phone to look around. The house appeared to be empty; all of the lights were off at least. Then again that could just be because it made it easier for someone to attack them. You never knew with vampires and it didn't exactly sound like this Mary was one of the good ones.
"Who is this Mary person?" Elena asked.
"Scary Mary, she's really old, super creepy" replied Damon.
Great, Elena though, really old, super creepy. What could go wrong there?
Damon was about to head upstairs when the white double doors at the end of the hall began to shake. So much for no one being here, Elena thought. They approached the doors cautiously, looking for signs of attack. Damon lead the way obviously. She had to supress the mad urge to giggle when she imagined what the expression on his face would be if she suggested that she should lead. The stress must be getting to me, she thought.
Damon pushed open one of the doors, at first she could see nothing. The she lifted the light and wanted to scream at what she saw. A blonde vampire pinned to the wall with what looked like a baseball bat through her heart. She was dead, of course. Elena assumed this was Mary. Now they'd never know who had turned her.
"Mary." Damon said confirming her suspicions.
"Quite contrary" came a voice from the corner. Elena barely stifled a gasp as she turned around. At the same time the light turned on.
Kol sat there, lounging in a chair with a baseball bat over his shoulder, making the chair look as if it were a throne. He was good looking Elena had to admit. He had a sort of refined, bad boy look emphasized by the easy self-assurance which all of the Originals seemed to possess. His features were chiselled and angular, his ever-present smirk challenging. He looked twenty years old, at most. Only his eyes gave away how old he really was, they were cold, hard, and mocking.
Elena had lost concentration, never a good thing around an Original. She tuned back in to hear Kol saying he didn't know which of the Originals had turned Mary.
"I spoke to my brother," he said with his deceptively charming British accent, "I know you're trying to find out who you're descended from. And now, you never will. So, where did we leave off?"
He hit the baseball bat on his leg, as if he was testing it out. He then brought it down viciously on Damon's leg and Elena heard a crack. Kol kept hitting Damon again and again; each time he struck seemed to fuel his anger. Elena was too shocked to do anything. Her mind was numb, like it was filled with cotton. Some clarity returned when she heard Damon call-out to her.
"Elena, get out of here!"
She tried to, she ran for the exit but Kol was too fast for her. He seemed to appear between her and the door.
"According to my brother you're off limits but please don't test me." He said with a calm that seemed incredibly threatening. He threw her against the bed, where she hit her head. Damon flew towards Kol but Kol caught him easily.
"Ah," he said, "I appear to have touched a nerve"
Elena saw a gleam in his eyes as a new idea formed. She didn't know what it was but coming from Kol it couldn't be good. Before there was even chance to be apprehensive; Kol snapped Damon's neck and sped towards her. She felt a blinding pain in her head as it was knocked against the bed again and this time she passed out.
Elena woke up with a raging headache and found herself in the back seat of a car. She was mildly confused and decided that it would be best to sit up, at least then she wouldn't be quite so helpless. As this thought process finished she realised that that wasn't an option, her hands and feet were bound with duct tape. The memories of the creepy house came back to her.
Of course, Kol.
Speaking of Kol she now realised he was in the front, driving. And was also currently completely oblivious to the road, as he was actually looking at her with an amused smirk on his face.
"Good morning, love"
"What are you doing? Where are we?"
"Not a morning person then? Good to know."
"What do you want with me?"
Kol sighed in a very exaggerated way.
"So many questions darling. Can't you just relax and enjoy the ride?"
Elena simply glared at him.
"No? Very well then." He sighed sounding like a child who'd been asked to perform a particularly boring and tiring chore. She suspected she was irritating him. Good.
"It's quite simple really darling, your dear guardian slash history teacher still has possession of the one weapon which can kill me so I thought it better to get away from Mystic Falls for a little while. Just while there's a slight chance that someone could kill me."
"That doesn't explain why I'm here."
"Well I need entertainment of course, and it's the perfect revenge on that Salvatore brat since he snapped my neck."
Elena felt a thrill of horror run through her. He was going to use her as his entertainment! She didn't want to think about what he might do to her.
"You can't just do this," she said sounding braver than she felt, "someone will find me!"
This seemed to cause his irritation to snap into anger. He pulled over to the side of the road, and before she had time to register any movement she felt him yank her out of the car and then slam her against it.
"I can do anything I want to you and really, there's nothing you can do to stop me!" he snarled at her, inches from her face, "Do you think you have suffered so far? By my brothers hands? Do you? You know nothing of real pain. Now you will be quiet for the rest of this journey or I will show you just how little you have suffered so far. Do you understand?" With this he shook her forcefully.
"Y- yes" she said quietly, thoroughly frightened. He shoved her back into the back seat, climbed into the front and started driving again.
Elena didn't say a word for the rest of the journey.
A/N: Loved it, hated it? Somewhere inbetween? Please reveiw :)
