I Can't Take It Anymore
None of these characters are mine... they belong to L. J. Smith and Charlaine Harris. Also, this is based off the Vampire Diaries BOOK, not the TV series.
Sorry it took me so long to update this, it took me forever to figure out what I wanted to do with it.
Now I want to get ya'lls opinions… who should Elena end up with? Eric, Damon or Stefan? Or should another vampire show up and claim her? I need ideas to keep this one going… I love it, but I don't want a huge space between updates like this last one… some evil ideas ahead. Poor Elena.
Okay, this vampire is huge, sexy and scaring the hell out of me, Elena's mind went blank when the blond vampire hissed at her, his fangs fully extended.
"You will come with me now," he repeated firmly, holding his hand out to her, while his other hand still held onto Stefan.
Damon jumped onto the big vampire from behind, grabbing both of his arms and pulling him back away from Elena, yelling, "Run, Elena!"
She didn't need to be told twice, she slid into her car, slamming it into gear as she heard the blond one yelling, "Pam! Chow! Here! Now!" Elena didn't look back as she sped out of the parking lot, showering gravel everywhere.
As Elena drove down the road, she kept dodging shadows. She was extremely exhausted from all the driving she had done lately and knew she had to rest. The girl still felt incredibly stupid for not realizing what kind of bar she had walked into. Jumping as she rolled onto the drunk bumps on the side of the road Elena jumped up, shaking her head trying to stay awake, yelling at herself to wake up. She opened the window, trying to let the cool night air wake her up, but it didn't seem to help much. As she followed the high way it detoured to a back road. As she passed drove off the road she saw the recent storm down here had washed out the main highway and the road she was following was thin and rather bumpy. She had to slow a bit as water rushed over the road, pushing her tires just a bit, but she made it through the low part of the road. Now that it was raining hard she turned up the radio to keep the steady rhythm of rain for making her doze off again.
"How could I have been so stupid? Stupid vampires! Why can't they just leave me alone?" Elena had started talking to herself to keep her mind working. She was sure that she was being followed, but so far couldn't tell who it was or how far away they were. Quickly she looked in her rear view mirror, checking for anyone, but screamed and slammed on her brakes when a deer appeared in the roadway.
She swerved, her tires sliding until she ran off the road and straight into an old oak, slamming her head into the steering wheel and her side painfully against the door. She blacked out only a moment, waking as the rain stopped. Knowing she had to get away from this wreck as fast as she could, she got out of the car, grabbing her purse and keys and ran into the woods.
Almost afraid to look back, she didn't notice the blood on her hand as she touched the trees in passing or the barbs scratching her arms when she got too close to them. After running for what seems like forever the forest opened into a vast open farmland. In the distance she spotted a rundown barn that looked like it hadn't seen use in ages. Elena jumped the fence in once move, her years of cheerleading taking over. As she got closer to the barn she noticed how strongly it smelt of wet hay and an old scent of the animals that used to be there.
"That should hide my scent from anything," she laughed, too tired to be thinking straight. Still dazed from the accident, she made her way up the ladder into the loft, tripping over an old bale of hay and landing on her hands and knees in a corner. She listened to the soft chirping on the crickets outside and started to doze off, closing her eyes, muttering quietly, "Stupid tall Adonis fang face! Why'd he have to butt it? How dare he? Just because he's a blond god he thinks he can do anything…" her voice trailed off.
"I could always use another priestess, you know," purred a slightly accented voice from the shadows.
That woke Elena up instantly, her eyes popped open, scanning around her until she found him high in the rafters, just inside where there the roof had caved in.
"Wha? YOU!" She yelled, standing up on her feet a little shaky.
He only smirked, jumping down to the loft where she was standing. His landing was soft as a whisper, not the loud crack she had expected to hear. There was a gleam in his eye that scared her, but fascinated her at the same time.
"How did you find me?" the girl asked, one hand on her head, trying to hold back the dizziness.
Eric held up two fingers in a peace sign and then turned them so the moonlight would catch the blood on his fingers. His face unreadable, "It's like putting a sign around your neck saying come and eat me."
Slightly panicked, Elena finally looked down at her hand, seeing the blood for the first time. She then touched the top of her head, feeling new blood there as well.
The blond god turned his head slightly, "You must really be something special to bleed so much and still be on your feet. Where are you from, my dear?" He grinned wickedly, showing a bit of fang.
"From… from…" she muttered, trying to remember something that she did not want to lose… "Wait! Where are Damon and Stefan?" She stood straighter, too worried about the brothers to think about herself.
Eric looked at her for a long moment before answering, "You must mean those two charming little Italian boys. Do they mean much to you, dear Elena?"
Elena was shocked that he knew her name, but remembered Damon calling her name when he yelled for her to run. "Where are they?"
The gorgeous vamp turned slightly, picking something up before taking one step towards Elena. "Would you like to see them? I could take you there." He raised his hands in offer to her.
"Stay away from me!" Elena screamed. That move proved to be too much for Elena. The pain was too much for her and everything suddenly turned to darkness.
Only for a second she could have sworn, just as she passed out a whispered voice above her, "What are you?"
Everything went black.
