"What do you mean they're coming?" I ask. I was heaving heavily for air. My breathing was uncontrollable. People could have mistaken me for having a heart attack. I jump as I feel Damon's hand grab my wrist and brings me closer to him. What was he doing? It was just then I realized he was handing something over to me. I look in my hand to see Damon's car keys to his Ferrari. I look up and give Damon a confused look. I let out a shiver as I realize how close Damon's lips where to my ears. I cold feel his cold breath on my skin. He smelt very strong of alcohol.
"I want you to run to the car and wait inside there for me. I should be shortly behind you. If I am any longer then two minutes then I want you to drive as far away as possible," Damon whispers into my ear. His voice was soft but dead serious.
"But how will you be able to find me if you don't know where I'm going?" I ask suddenly looking towards him. When my eyes meet his, I am unable to break my gaze.
"Elena if I do not show up it most likely means I'm dead," he says. I cant help but to gap at his bluntness.
"But what if your still alive and your just a couple minutes late?" I ask not wanting to give this up.
"Then I'll track down your scent. Elena there is not enough time to go through this now. Take the key and run," Damon demands.
"But Damon-," I try to start.
"Elena just run," Damon harshly demands. His voice was so harsh that I decided to listen to him. I take off on a full sprint the opposite direction of him. I look back to see Damon hasn't moved from his spot. Oh how I wanted to go back to his side. It was where I felt the safest. But I couldn't. He told me to run to the car so that was exactly what I was doing. But where is the car? A wave of dread washed through my body. How was I suppose to get to the car if I had no idea where it was?
I was still running straight ahead. I had my arms out in front of me so I didn't run into any trees or anything. I had left my flashlight back with Damon. Wow smart Elena, I scold myself. My legs were weak and sore. I had to take a small break and hope that maybe I can regain my thoughts. I halt to a stop and rest my body up against a tree. I had to think back to when we parked our car. How far did we carry our luggage from there? It was about a 6-7 minute walk. So first I had to get back to the camp grounds.
I take a small look around my surroundings. I could barely see anything as everything was so dark. It was just then I realized some bushes from behind my were rustling with noise. My body freezes up as I turn around to see nothing but darkness. I could tell that the bushes weren't shaking because of the wind. I could tell the difference. Maybe it was Damon? The sad thing was, was that I knew deep down that it wasn't.
I don't even bother to call out his name as I already knew it wasn't him. I start to run towards the direction of the camp grounds. Was that a werewolf in the bushes? Wow that question sounded really stupid. But sadly it was my reality. I hope it wasn't a werewolf but instead a deer. Heck even a bear or a cougar would have been better. It takes me a couple seconds to realize that I was at the camp grounds. I place my key into my pocket just for safety. I did not want to lose that key.
I had to quickly grab a flashlight as it was still really dark. After I managed to find the tent, I quickly climb inside. I look around for the extra flashlight we kept in here. I am terrified of the dark so Damon brought a couple of flashlights for me. When I find the mini flashlight I step out of the tent and turn it on. I beam the flashlight around the place, making sure nothing was hiding that was going to scare me.
What way was the car parked from here. I look around to see a trail that look familiar. I believe that it was the same trail we took to get here from the car. I start to jog down the trail.
What if I had taken the wrong trail? Maybe Damon was already at the car waiting for me. What if he got tired of waiting and left without me? He wouldn't do that, would he? No, I already knew for a fact that Damon wouldn't leave me behind unless he knew I was dead. Plus I have the key so he wouldn't be able to get in the car anyways.
I let out a squeal of joy when I see the car just a little ways away. I look around to see no Damon in sight. He was probably right behind me. But what if he wasn't? What if he got attacked and was dead? I had to force that dreadful thought out of my head and tell myself that he was absolutely fine.
When I reach the car, I tug on the handle to realize that the door was unlocked. Typical Damon. I quickly lock all the doors just for safety. I look around to see Damon wasn't there. Stop worrying Elena, he's fine. He said that he was going to be a little bit after me. My breathing started to calm down a little. My legs felt nice to take a small rest. Why was this happening to me?
I reach into my pocket to pull out the car key. My eye go wide as it wasn't in my pocket. Its probably in my other pocket. Slowly I reach my hand into my other pocket, only to find out it wasn't there. My heartbeat started to race again. Franticly I start to check all my pockets. The key wasn't in any of my pockets.
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, my mind sang. It was probably in the tent where I was looking around for a flashlight. I had to go back or otherwise I wasn't getting out of here. Slowly I opened the door and stepped outside. I listened to try and pick up any sounds. The only sound my ears could pick up was my heart beating.
I start to sprint back up the trail. Maybe I would run into Damon on the way up. How could a simple camping trip turn into a disaster like this? It wasn't fair. Why did my life have to be so dangerous?
When I reach the campgrounds, I run straight to the tent. I stop outside of the tent when I hear the bushes move from the right. I quickly run into the tent and close the door. I sit there silently while I listen for noises. I slowly look out the small window to see darkness. I could make out a figure standing in the middle of the clear space. The figure looked like a humongous dog.
I jerk my head from the window and hold my breath. There was a werewolf standing just outside of the tent. I don't think it knows that I'm here. If it did it would probably kill me. So I couldn't let it know I was here. My heart was racing faster then any heart I have heard before. Oh why was this happening to me?
Slowly I look out the tent and look around. I couldn't see the figure. Maybe it was gone? I slowly unzip the door and look around. I couldn't see the werewolf. So maybe it was gone? I step out the door and let out a piercing scream when something jumps onto me.
