A/N
I want to let you know that I fixed this chapter a little. I made it a little longer and elaborated on the Cabin and it's surroundings. I personally like it a lot better now and I fixed a few misspellings. Let me know what you think of the semi-new chapter. Enjoy!
THE STORY CONTINUES...
Damon starts packing Elena's belongings into her suitcases, grabbing everything that she should need.
"Damon, where are we going?" asked Elena while helping pack.
"Somewhere safe," Damon replied.
"Where is that exactly? You're kind of scaring me. What has gotten you so spooked?"
Damon stops and looks into Elena's big brown eyes.
"I'm worried. Cambrian said that more will come. If they get the chance they will take you. I'm not willing to take that chance," said Damon.
"Take me? Why?" asked Elena, eyes wide with fear.
"They think that our child has some sort of prophecy. For some reason they want to take you to god knows where. I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen. I'm going to protect you and to do that we are leaving. They know that we're here and that's why we have to go."
"Ok. I trust you Damon."
They continue to pack the rest of her belongings that will fit into the car. They load up and leave in a matter of minutes. Elena sits quietly in the passenger seat as Damon drives. Damon reaches over and grabs Elena's hand.
"Everything is going to be okay. I promise."
"I know. Where is everyone? Are they coming too?" asked Elena curious about what was going to happen.
"They're already on their way. Caroline and Bonnie are in the car behind us along with Jeremy." Damon assures her.
"What about Stefan?" asked Elena.
"He's on his way. He went to the boarding house to grab some things. He's about fifteen minutes behind us."
A few hours go by before they make it to a rest stop. Elena gets out and runs quickly to the bathroom. Bonnie and Caroline run to catch up with her. She makes it to the stall just in time. She comes out and washes her hands.
"How are you holding up?" Caroline asks her.
"As well as I can be. This is crazy. I just got used to the idea of being pregnant and now this."
"I know hun. But you have to remember to not stress out. It's not good for the pregnancy. We have everything handled. Klaus is meeting us with his siblings. They're going to help us protect you."
"Klaus...? How'd you manage him to help?" Elena asks giving her a quizzical glance.
"Well. Klaus has well... I threated him with sex." Caroline said bluntly. She had given up on trying to say it another way. She just thought it would be easier to say it how it really was.
"Oh. Well..." Elena had started to say but was interrupted by Bonnie.
"We really need to get some food and get going. We can talk about it later."
They quickly rushed out of the bathroom and into the the food court. Elena gets in line and orders. A few minutes later her number was called, she walks up grabs her food and heads for the car followed by Caroline and Bonnie. By this time it was getting dark as they headed back to the road. Elena falls asleep for the rest of the trip. Damon had been driving for 12 hours straight. He was getting hungry and was exhausted. He was hoping they would arrive soon. Just then he sees the dirt road hidden by bushes and trees on both sides. He was surprised that he didn't miss the turn. Damon drives up the road for another two hours. After what seemed like a never ending dirt road, it opened up to this huge mansion like log cabin that sat in an open area, literally in the middle of nowhere. It was three times the size of the boarding house. He pulled out of the never ending trees and drove over a small bridge from which a stream flowed beneath; it really just made this place seem like home. Even though the cabin sat in an open field there were trees that surrounded the perimeter. It had three stories and a green roof that matched the leaves on the trees. Damon parks in the driveway beside of the monsterous cabin. He leans over and whispers into Elena's ear.
"Elena, we're here."
She starts to stir and opens her eyes. She blinks multiple times to wake herself up. She yawns and reaches for the door handle. The door opens and she gasps.
"It's beautiful." she says with a smile.
"What did you think it would be like?"
"Nothing like this." She waves her arm to the cabin. Damon and Elena chuckle.
Damon had already started unpacking the car when
Elena starts to look around at the change of scenery, taking it all in.
She studies the cabin. The first floor was covered in river rocks. It had steps on either sides of the cabin that lead to the deck on the second floor. It had support beams decorated with the same river rocks leading up to the wooden deck. Underneath of the deck was a patio built with the most beautiful paving stones that she had ever seen. The more she looked the more she loved it. In the middle of the third floor there were very large glass windows. She closed her eyes and listened to her surroundings. She could hear a waterfall close by. She followed the sound and found herself far behind the house when she came across a path surrounded by large rocks. As she followed the path she came upon an alluring man made waterfall. The water cascading over the large rocks and into a pond below it. It was about the size of a large above ground swimming pool. The pond was enveloped by large rocks that served it's purpose by keeping the water inside. There were beautiful rose bushes spaced out around the edges of the waterfall. She felt like she was on vacation rather than running for her life. She felt so peaceful, so serene. She felt hands around her waist and that familar feel of his chest against her back. She was unbelievably happy at this point in time. She felt like no one could ruin this moment. Elena shakes a bit from the chilly air.
"Come on, let's go inside. It's getting cold out."
"It's just so beautiful, I don't want to stop watching it."
"Elena...it will be here tomorrow and so will you. It's not going anywhere."
Elena slightly huffs knowing that Damon is right.
"Alright let's go inside," she said. She was nervous about going inside. The originals... protecting her? How did Caroline manage to get them all to do that? She surely couldn't threaten them all with sex... could she? Elena thought to herself as they made their way back to the cabin. They make it to the car and Elena see's that Damon had taken everything inside already, because all that was left to be taken in was her purse. She grabs it and makes her way up the stairs. She makes it to the top and looks around again. She could almost taste the freshness of the crisp night air. She could tell that she was going to like it here. It's a nice change. It's so relaxing just listening to the sounds of the creature in their natural habitats. The scenery is magnificent, quiet, and flawless. She looks at the door and that's when she sees it. The flaw...Klaus.
