Here we go. Chapter 2 is up. Its still a bit groggy and long witted, but it'll ease out soon I promise and the POV's wont be so long. Also there are certain things to note:
Katherine IS dead. Klaus still does want to break the curse on him, but it is unknown to Damon that this has anything to do with Elena or even Katherine as Klaus never revealed to Damon his ties with 'Katarina'. Damon doesn't know Elena is a doppelganger, to him she is just someone who looks exactly like her. Identical. But he doesn't know why. I assume he just thinks its a "impossible miracle"... but light is shed when Klaus appears, which is quite late on in the story. Anyway, ENJOY!
Elena stirred, her head was pounding like a drum and her eyes felt heavy. What happened? she wondered.
"Well, it's about time" Damon said, peering over his shoulder at her.
Elena stiffened. It all came flooding back, her walk, the mysterious man who seemed to know her... the way he approached her, faster than anything she'd ever seen. She didn't even have time to scream or to register what was happening. The next thing she remembered was everything going black. Then she woke up here.
Elena shot up, events finally falling in place. She had been kidnapped. Her body shook with fear and a jolt of pain shot through her skull, causing her to groan as she clutched her head. Perhaps she got up a little too fast she thought, wincing at every movement and gasping. Damon's look softened "Hmm, I think I used a little too much force on you. Sometimes I forget my own strength" he said, casting her a wink. Elena was disgusted. Who was this man? Why had he taken her.
Elena couldn't bring her mind to contemplate everything that had happened. Maybe he wasn't kidnapping her, maybe this was all just a misunderstanding she thought. A misunderstanding? She slapped her self internally, she needed to get out of here. She was in danger, this man just screamed "maniac" and she had no intention to stick around. She made a move for the door, twisting the handle to no avail, realising it was locked. She groaned, mentally kicking herself - of course it would be locked! He's a serial killer, he doesn't want you to escape. Besides the car was moving far to fast and if she jumped out she would be severely injured.
"You can't escape me" he said simply, not even annoyed that she tried to get away. Something about this man was wrong, terribly wrong. Her hands began to tremble as she felt tears form in her eyes, coming to terms with the situation all too fast. Everything was in happening too quickly and as the seconds went by she became even more frightened, playing out different scenarios in her head. She was never going to see her family again.
She never got to go home! He just took her! How could he? she pondered angrily.
She shook her head, pulling herself out of her trail of thought. Before losing it and feeling her fear and anger bubble to the top. "LET ME OUT" she cried. Damon smirked as if waiting for her outburst, secretly he was timing how long it took for her to realise her actual predicament and collapse with fear. He laughed, he did not expect her to say something as simple and badly put as "let me out" She clearly didn't know how to tread carefully around her abductor.
"You obviously didn't catch on the first time. You're not going anywhere sweetie." Damon said emotionlessly. The anger exploded inside Elena. She didn't know what to do. She'd never been in a situation like this before, but she wouldn't allow herself to be scared or intimidated. She would get out of this. "Who the hell do you think you are? How could you do this? You kidnaped me. What's wrong with you? Stop the car!" She babbled in a rush to get her words across. "Listen, little girl. You are in no position to question me. So shut up and sit still. We have a long journey ahead of us and all your ranting is doing is making me hungry" he warned before turning back to the road.
Elena gasped at his cruelty and shivered, his voice was filled with authority and power which was not to be messed with, she was sure of that. But Elena was not one to abide by the rules, she never was. If this man thought he was going to control her, he was wrong. She whimpered slightly, before putting on a brave face and tossing her head from side to side in a panic, trying to find a weapon, to find anything that she could use.
Damon sensed her disobedience and her little body moving around frantically. He only smirked, he loved it when they didn't submit easily. He could understand her situation though. Trapped in a car with a devilishly handsome but terrifying man with no way out and no chance of fighting him, he laughed of the inside. Poor little girl.
However he was pulled out of his thought when a pair of weak, small hands flung passed him, elbowing him in the chest and made to turn the steering wheel, attempting to drive the car off the road. He growled and flung her back with his own elbow making her groan with pain and she was thrown back onto the seats and tumbled to the floor due to his insanely strong force. How stupid, he thought. But brave, none the less. This girl had fire, just like Katherine but did she actually think she could stand a chance against him? He was shocked that she attempted something so foolish. She really was scared.
Elena got up, sitting on the floor of the car shakily, her eyes on him as he cursed under his breath and got the car back into control. Damon closed his eyes and counted to ten, telling himself to calm down. Otherwise he would rip the girls head off which would ruin all his plans. No one had ever challenged him before, especially not some weak, pathetic little human girl. However he had to admit, it excited him.
Although, he couldn't wait until he broke her down and he was sure he would enjoy it immensely. He just had to tolerate her for a little while longer. "If you want to continue breathing, I suggest you never do that again" he said coldly, eyes fixated on her wildly. He was certainly not someone to piss off and hardly anyone ever did as they know the consequences. This little human, obviously didn't. Which was a change.
Elena quivered, finding it hard to form a response. Her eyes were filled with fear before she nodded slowly. Good, he thought. She was learning.
Damon returned his eyes back to the road, feeling himself calm down. He couldn't lose it with her, she was too valuable.
Elena propped herself back up on the seats on the car and began staring out of the window and getting extremely concerned when she couldn't recognise anything. She was far from home. But how could he have taken her so far, so quickly? she wondered before glancing at the dash board quickly and almost reeling when she saw the time. 3:45. She had been asleep for over 15 hours. Oh god, she thought.
She couldn't stay here, the first chance she got, she would run like hell. She promised herself that. But for now, it looked like there was nothing she could do. She glanced at her abductor, she could see the hard muscles in his chest through his tight shirt. He had a lean, slim body that was firmly in shape. Even though she hated him with every fibre of her being, she couldn't deny that he was extremely attractive. Even when he elbowed her in the stomach, using very minor force she could feel his strength. It was horrible and wrong that God gifted him with such beauty when he was such a sadistic man.
Elena convicted herself that she wouldn't be with this man for long, she would fool him into believing she wouldn't try to escape again but she knew that she would be back in the safety of her home, surrounded by her family very soon. She had to hold onto that. This was only temporary. However, as long as she was here she might as well get some answers.
"Who are you?" she asked after a while. She really did want to know. He waited a couple of seconds before replying. "I'm your worse nightmare" he said icily. "Please, a straight answer" She said rolling her eyes, slightly surprised at herself. Damon raised his eyebrows shocked at her boldness. Never the less, he decided to play along to her question and answer time. "Well then, my names Damon. Damon Salvatore" Elena nodded, feeling a bit uncomfortable and hesitant about asking the questions she really wanted to know.
Damon Salvatore. The name rolled of her tongue strangely. Even his name was sexy.
What the hell? What was she thinking? This was her captor! The man that ripped her away from her family, his name was NOT sexy.
Damon laughed at the heat rising to her cheeks and Elena swallowed, mentally preparing herself for what she was about to ask next. "What are you going to do to me?" She asked unsteadily, almost breaking into tears again.
Damon's face grew hard. He didn't like her questions and more importantly, he didn't know how to explain what he was going to do to her because he didn't know. He just wanted her.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to chop you into a million pieces if that's what your scared of" Damon replied.
Elena swallowed. "Well then what are you going to do? she asked.
"That's for me to know and you to dot dot dot..." he grinned brightly, enjoying rattling her.
"Uhh. Please, just tell me"
"Elena. As much as you may disbelief it, your safe with me" he said bitterly, turning around. Did he really just tell her she'd be safe with him? Would she be? He wasn't sure. So he lied.
Yes, it was a lie. He would never promise a human they'd be safe. He almost chocked at the mere thought.
Although, he was positive that he wouldn't kill her. That would be a waste.
Elena accepted that answer with a long sigh, letting out the breath shed been holding. He was probably lying just to get her to be quiet, he would probably kill her as soon as he gets bored or something, but she did feel more at ease now.
Then, as Elena just began to relax against the car window and try to collect her thoughts, the car came to a brisk halt.
Well I hoped it was bearable, critical feedback is always great as I would love to know how to improve and what not to do. It gets a lot more exciting after this however they haven't arrived at their destination just yet. This is just a pit stop, when they do arrive, we get to the real beginning of the story :) There will be Stefan and Klaus problems later on. I feel I've portrayed Damon as too nice to begin with, so I'll be bringing out the deadly side of him next chapter.
