The Girl on the Road

Chapter 2

Damon Salvatore had never knew a person that had went missing but as he turned on his TV earlier that Saturday morning and saw Elena's picture popping up on the screen. The headline '17 year old girl goes missing' scrolled below it. Damon's brows fused together as he turned up the volume waiting to hear more about what the hell had happened to the sweet girl he had met on the road that night.

"Mystic Falls is frantically searching for Elena Gilbert who went missing on Friday night. The teen was last seen at a bonfire in the forest for her school's homecoming. We sincerely urge you to come forward with any information you may have so we could return Elena Gilbert home safely."

Damon took a deep breath as he turned his television off and picked up his phone dialing the local sheriff's office and telling them that he had some news to share with them on the disappearance of Elena Gilbert.

"So you're telling me that the last time you saw Elena Gilbert she was on the road?" the sheriff said taking down his statement.

"That's correct."

"And what was your conversation when you two were on the road?"

"We talked about life and she said she had a fight with her boyfriend? Have you questioned him yet?"

"We have. His sister provided him with a solid alibi as well as a few others. My daughter included."

Damon nodded as he clutched his coffee waiting for the next question.

"Did you think that you and Elena shared a connection?"

"We barely know each other. It was a nice conversation, but I don't know how it would have gone further than that."

"Why did you talk to her in the first place? It kind of seems strange that you would talk to a stranger who was in the middle of nowhere."

"She reminded me of a girl I used to know. My ex-girlfriend Katherine. I was just making sure it wasn't her."

"Was there anything else you could think of from the conversation that night? Something we could use to find her?"

"Not that I remember.. I'm sorry I couldn't help more."

"Well at least it's something. Thank you for coming in Damon. We appreciate it."

Damon nodded as he sat up walking towards the door and looking at the sheriff.

"Thank you for your time sheriff. I hope my information was useful and I hope you find her."

"I hope we find her too."

Damon nodded as he walked out the door wondering where Elena Gilbert had gone.
