"I don't want to be here." Rayne grumbled
Tyler chuckled.
"So this is torture to you?" he asked
Rayne glared at him in response. He just pulled her closer as they walked along the street.
"I'm so bored." Rayne groaned
"Should I duct tape your mouth then?" Tyler offered
"No!" she said "Not unless you wan tripped a new one."
"I'll try anything once." Tyler grinned as he spun her to face him
Leaning down he kissed her.
"Not fair you playing like that." Rayne said
"I'm never fair." Tyler said
"It's a trend I'm starting to notice." Rayne grinned
Damon watched the two be all kissy and the strong urge to vomit hit him.
"So what? You're stalking them now?" Stefan asked coming up beside his brother
"No." Damon snarled "Just her. She's shifty."
"No she's not and if you keep doing this she'll kill you and I just might let her." Stefan said
Stefan turned and walked away. Damon just sneered at him as he did.
"I'll be right back." he heard Rayne say
"And where would you be going leaving your new boyfriend all alone?" Damon mumbled to himself
He followed behind making himself scarce as he did. Tyler didn't even see him.
Rayne walked inside the Mystic Grill with the intent of getting her and Tyler something to drink. The place was packed and as she walked past the door to the back area a set of hands…no, more than one set grabbed her and snatched her back into the back room and out into the alley. She barely had any time to react. As she jumped to her feet rope whiplashed around her waist and neck like a whip. Instantly she screamed as it burned into her skin.
"Shut the bitch up!" a man screamed
Suddenly duct tape was put over her mouth and she was pushed to the ground. Rayne cried out in pain as ropes were also bound around her hands. Tears streaked her face.
"And here I was worried she'd attack us." one man chuckled
"We got the jump on her is all. Don't underestimate animals like her." another said "Mayor Lockwood had strict orders so let's keep them."
Rayne growled which came out as a somewhat gurgle from the tears. Both men picked her up and she screamed even more as the roped cut into her.
"Put the wolf down." Came a dark voice
The men looked around yet saw nothing. One of them gulped.
"Keep moving." The one man said
"I'm warning you…put her down."
Before either had a chance to respond one man's neck was snapped and the other who gripped Rayne tighter was thrown against a wall taking her a little ways that way as well. Rayne looked around not seeing much of anything. Then all of the sudden a darkened figure stood in front of her? He kneeled down in front of her and it took her a second to realize it was Damon. As he reached out to her she scrambled away and hit her head on the wall.
"Stay still." He said coldly "Or it'll hurt worse."
Rayne shook as he took the duct tape from her mouth then undid the ropes.
"It's bound with wolfsbane." He muttered
After he took the ropes off he stood and looked down at her. Turning to walk away he heard a sudden thump and splash on the ground and looked back. Rayne had passed out in a puddle of water in a pot hole. Damon hesitated for a moment then huffed.
"Damn it." he muttered
He picked up Rayne in both arms and carried her.
Tyler looked around for Rayne. She had been gone for too long. Then he caught her, her scent. She wasn't far. As he went in the direction she was he froze.
Damon was carrying her away from the crowd and she was unconscious.
"You son of a bitch! What did you do!" Tyler exclaimed following Damon
"Me?" Damon said with a slight chuckle "I didn't do this."
Tyler growled and looked at her. Her wrists and neck were bleeding. Damon put her in his car and closed the door.
"She is not going with you." Tyler snapped angrily
"Temper, temper." Damon said "And yes she is."
Damon pulled out his cell phone and sent out a text.
"No she isn't. Not after what you did."
"Are you stupid? I just said I didn't do it." Damon said "Then again maybe you should ask you mom about it. After all she's the one who sent out the kill order."
With that Damon got in the car and drove off.
