I'm sorry this is a short chapter, this is more of a 'coming back' filler.)
Chapter 13
Damon and Elena walked up the stairs to the convenient store and peeked through the dusty windows. Elena tried to open the door, but it appeared to be nailed shut and boarded up. Elena looked at Damon; "Fine, I'll open the door" he sighed and got in front of the door. "Thank you Damon." Elena smiled. He smiled a phony smile back and pulled the door open, breaking the boards that were holding the door. Dust flew everywhere and Elena was coughing, waving the dust from her face, when suddenly she heard a creaking sound. She jumped and turned in the direction of the empty doorway and tugged at Damon's arm. "Did you hear that?" Damon wiped the dust from his jacket. "No, what did you hear?" Damon said coming to stand right beside Elena, sliding his arm around her. "Stay here, while I'll scope it out." He said as he walked into the dark, empty store. Elena stood out on the porch of the store and looked around, she thought she heard a noise behind her, so she turned and saw nothing. She turned back and yelled into the store, "Damon? Can you just come back out here?" He didn't reply, there was no sound. She decided to check on him, so she stepped past the wood debris and inside the store. She looked around, inside the store the shelves were stocked, but really old and dusty. The only light came from the windows in the front. She side stepped some broken glass, and some broken jars of jelly. She noticed that they looked freshly broken and her heart started to race. "Damon? Where are you?" Elena picked up her pace and scanned the isles, but he was nowhere to be found. When she made her way near the back, that's when she saw him, neck snapped, unconcious on the ground. "Damon! Oh my god!" She shouted as she ran to his side. She didn't know what to do, she was so scared. She then heard some glass crack from behind her, but before she could turn to see who it was, a black cloth covered her face. Elena screamed, twisted and turned her body to try to get out of the grip of her kidnappers. "Why are you doing this?!" She yelled out. "Damon!" She yelled again. Suddenly the black cloth was lifted, and a rag was placed over her nose. She tried to scream and hold her breath but it was too late. Her world was becoming dizzy, and everything went black.
