Chapter 2
Elena awoke to the humming sound of the engine, trees zooming past her window at an unbearable speed. She turned her attention to her hands that were tied tightly behind her back, she pulled at the ropes in an attempt to loosen them but quickly realised that wasn't happening.
"Good morning sleepy head" she heard a voice say but struggled to put a name and face to, then it clicked. Damon. She quickly turned her head from looking out the cracked window to Damon.
"What are you doing?" she whispered huskily, tugging at the ropes once again.
"Giving you a ride home" he smirked, making her uneasy.
An oncoming sign caught Elena's attention. Her next words caught in her through as she read the sign. Now leaving mystic falls. "b-but I live in mystic falls." She stuttered out.
"I know." He stated plainly. "I said I was taking you home, I never said I was taking you to your home."
A grin appeared on his face, making Elena want to smack it out of him.
She suddenly felt the pain from when he hit her head against the window, clawing at her skull. She moaned in agony, pushing her head against the back of the seat trying to aid the pain.
"Are you ok?" Damon shot her a worried look.
"No" she replied between moans. "It's my head, it hurts so much..."
Abruptly Damon slammed on the breaks and turned to the side of the road.
"What are you doing now?" she question in confusion.
"Helping." He stated as he turned to her.
"Us sitting on the side of the road isn't really going to help me, please just take me home." She pleaded.
Without a word Damon lifted his arm up to his mouth and bit down, a small puddle of blood settled on his wrist.
Elena watched him in curiosity as he extended his wrist to her.
She instinctively pulled as far back as she could in the seat.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she snapped
Damon sighed and griped the back of her head, easily pulling it to his waiting wrist.
"You need to drink."
"No!" she fought to pull her head back but his, inhuman? Strength kept her head sternly in place. Reluctantly, her lips finally locked around his wrist. She took large gulps of the warm liquid both utterly disgusted yet intrigued at the feeling of it running down her throat.
Damon pulled his arm away and wiped the excess blood onto his pants. A Smug look spread across his face.
"That's disgusting" Elena stated.
Damon rolled his eyes and turned back onto the road to continue driving.
They sat in silence for a while, until Elena couldn't handle it anymore. She needed out. Right now. She needed to get out of this car, away from Damon, home to her family who are probable worried sick about her.
"Damon?" she asked in the most sympathetic voice she could muster.
"Hmm?"
"Can you please take me home? To my home?" she pleaded, she rested her head on the back of the seat once again.
Damon sighed "I can't do that... I'm sorry, Elena"
Elena pulled at the ropes still binding her hands together "can you at least take these ropes off? They're hurting me."
Damon remained silent, after a minute or two she kind of figured he wasn't going to answer her, she sighed and closed her eyes trying to forget the mess her stupidity had gotten her into. For the second time that night she drifted off to sleep, but this time it wasn't thanks to Damon.
Elena was suddenly woken up to the screeching of the tired and the car slamming to a halt.
"What's going on?" she asked frantically whipping her head from side to side.
"We're here" Damon replied as he opened the driver side door and hopped out, he casually walked to the passenger side and opened the door.
Before Elena could protest she was hanging from Damon's shoulder struggling wildly at his grasp around her waist.
"Put me down!" she screamed, kicking her legs frantically trying to get free.
Damon finally lets her go and she tumbled to the floor "you said to put you down." He chuckled
Elena rolled her eyes "that's not what I meant and you know it." She retorted standing up, she kicked off little pieces of gravel and dirt from her jeans.
Damon shrugged "potato, patato."
Choosing to ignore his last comment, Elena looked around finally taking in her surroundings. Somehow Elena had missed the fact that the sun was shining bright above her. How long was I asleep? She thought. She then turned her attention back to her surroundings. She stood just a few metres away from a little wooden cottage overlooking a large deep blue lake surrounded by enormous pine trees, she could hear little birds singing a high pitched song all through the forest around her. She couldn't deny it, it was truly beautiful.
Elena turned back to Damon who was now fiddling with his phone what's he doing? She wondered before kicking him in the shin trying to bring his attention back to her.
"Ouch!" he growled, his eyes snapped up to stare straight at hers.
"Are you going to untie my hands now?" she asked impatiently.
Damon took a few steps forward until he was just inches away from Elena, her breathing started to rapidly jump every time he even flinched. "I don't know." He stated "I don't think it's a good idea giving you more limbs to hurt me with..." he trailed off. He carefully brushed a stray lock of hair away from her face.
A large sigh escaped from Elena's lips, she quickly took a large step backwards so she was out of Damon's reach. "fine." She groaned "if I promise not to 'hurt' you will you take off the ropes?"
Damon hesitated for a moment before giving her a light nod.
"you got yourself deal miss gilbert."
With that, Damon made his way to Elena and turned her around, he quickly untied the rope and in a matter of seconds the rope was on the floor.
Elena rubbed her wrists with her hands, she gave him a small smile. "Thanks."
"No problem." He flashed his signature smirk.
She bit her bottom lip, trying not to smile at his smirk.
"So what are we doing here?" she asked trying to break the silence.
Damon was quiet for another moment before answering.
"waiting." He stated choosing his words carefully.
"Waiting for what?" she asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice.
"Now I don't think you need to worry about that right now, little miss nosey" Damon poked her nose with the last word.
"Ok. One, don't touch me. And two, you kidnap me, slam my head against a window, make me drink your blood, drive me out of town to some cottage in the woods and keep me hostage. I think it's exactly what I need to worry about!" she screamed. "So what are we waiting for?"
"An old…acquaintance" he stated.
"Who?"
"That's enough Q and A for now." He said plainly as he grabbed her right arm, he started pulling her towards the little wooden cottage.
Surprising even herself she didn't fight him, she just let him lead her to the cottage.
"Is this where you live?" she asked as they got to the door of the cottage.
"For now. I don't stay in the same place for too long." He replied as he opened the door and tugged her inside.
"Why?"
"You ask a lot of questions, did you know that?" he chuckled
Elena found her way to a sofa sitting in the middle of the room. She looked around to see a kitchen to her left and a flat screen TV in front of her, behind the sofa there was a door, it was only open a crack but just enough so that she could see a double bed.
"Nice place."
"Thanks."
She sat in silence, not knowing what to do. She started glancing around the room trying to look everywhere but at Damon.
"Would you like a drink of water?" Damon asked as he headed towards the kitchen
"Yes, please." She replied.
Damon grabbed a cup off the cup holder that was placed in the middle of the bench, he then walked over to the sink and filled it with water "it's going to have to be from the tap, sorry" he apologised as he walked over to her and sat down on the sofa next to her, he handed her the drink and watched her take a small sip.
"thanks." She gave him a weak smile, she placed the cup on the knee high coffee table in front of her.
"I'm sorry." Damon sighed "for everything I've done, it was wrong and I know that. I just had to get you out of that town… he knew where you were and I couldn't let him take you"
"Who is he?" Elena asked, shocked by his sudden confession.
Damon ran his fingers through his thick hair before replying with one simple word.
"Klaus."
