Chapter 28

Elena arrived at Wickery Bridge and climbed from her car. She immediately rushed to the standing figure who had Elijah on his knees standing beside. Elena carefully approached until she was just feet away.

"I'm here, please let him go" Elena said to the shadowed stranger.

"I will keep my end" the voice purred when suddenly Elena was face to face with the hooded figure.

It wasn't Elijah as Elena had thought. She instantly felt fear as the figure smiled at her.

"You" Elena gasped in horror.

"Yes, me. I must admit it was easier than I thought to get you here. You must have doubted your love one to believe he could be caught so easily" Alexander purred as he circled Elena and sniffed the air around her.

Elena didn't know what to say to him. She stood motionless as she was hit with the reality of her stupid actions.

"He will come for me" Elena said firmly trying to hide her fear from him.

"Oh I am counting on it. Until then shall we?" he asked her smiling.

"Shall what? Dance? I don't think so" Elena snapped at him.

"You do have so much fire. I like that about you, sadly I won't get to keep you" he grinned stepping even closer to Elena.

"I would rather die than to have you keep me" Elena bit out raising her hand to slap him making contact across his pale cheek.

Alexander snapped his head back to her and growled before pulling his hand back and slapping Elena so hard across the face that she fell backwards as the cold ground met her backside. Elena closed her eyes and let the pain take her.

Alexander straightened his coat before turning back to Anna.

"Well, let's go" alexander said lifting Elena into his arms like she was nothing more than a feather.

"I have made the arrangements for the cabin. No one should find us there" Anna said to him as she followed him to the waiting car.

Alexander loaded Elena into the trunk before closing the lid and moving his attention to Elena's car that was parked at the bridge. He quickly moved and pushed Elena's car into the woods out of the way so no one would look for it. He then turned back to the car and climbed in as Anna followed. He had one day to wait until he would finally have what he wanted more than anything. He grinned as he hit the gas and left Wickery Bridge far behind.

Elijah was sitting across from Natasha and Bonnie as they performed a tracking spell to locate Elena. He watched carefully when he felt a pain in his jaw. His grown snapped everyone away from the witches. The house now full of vampires looked to him immediately.

"Is something wrong brother?" Kol asked him.

"Yes, Elena is injured. I felt her pain just a moment ago" Elijah said his voice pained.

"I see" Kol said to him before turning his attention to the witches.

"Any luck?" he asked them.

"We are working on it" Bonnie told him meeting his eyes.

"You can work on me anytime love" Kol grinned at her.

Bonnie sighed and focused her attention back to Natasha as they tried to find Elena. Meanwhile Damon, Stefan, Katherine, Caroline, Klaus, kol, Rebecca and Tyler were discussing possible locations as well as some allies they could count on with the battle.

"Well don't look at me, obviously I have lots of enemies" Damon sneered as he took a drink of his bourbon.

"You wouldn't have enemies Damon if you could stop pissing people off" Caroline said to him.

"Right because advice from Blondie is the best of how many options?" Damon grinned.

"You really are an ass" Rebecca said absently.

"Oh come now Rebecca, we all know you could care less about Elena surviving this. In fact you would rather she not get rescued. Am I right?" Damon asked her.

"It is true, I do not care for her but my brother does and I will help my family" she said growling at him.

"Relax, little original" Kol said this time as he placed himself in Rebecca's line of sight.

Suddenly Natasha and Bonnie snapped their heads up.

"We can't locate her but we know where she was last" Natasha said to Elijah and the others.

"Wait what do you mean you can't track her?" Damon asked.

"It means there is some kind of spell blocking us from finding her. We can find her last location and then branch out from there. I believe that Anna will use a place with great power to try and cast her spell to help Alexander and being that Anna practices dark magic there is only one place for her to tap into enough magic to help her succeed" Natasha said closing her book.

"Well then what are we waiting for, let's go" Damon said moving to the door.

"For once Salvatore I am with you" Elijah said moving behind him. Bonnie and Natasha followed as everyone left the house.

As everyone loaded into cars Natasha and Bonnie climbed in with Klaus, Elijah and Kol.

"Where are we heading?" Kol asked as he started the car.

"To Wickery Bridge" Bonnie told him.

Kol nodded his head and hit the gas as the other cars followed behind him.

Elena finally came to as she looked around. It was pitch black and very uncomfortable. She lifted herself and hit her head with a ding. Elena reached her hand above her head and found she could feel cool metal above her. She was in the trunk of a car. Before she could so much as think the car slammed to a stop and Elena laid back down and closed her eyes. She could hear Alexander walking around to the back of the car as he told Anna to go inside and prepare a place to put Elena. Elena in a quick panic grabbed at her necklace which she had worn with Vervain in it and opened some into her palm. She closed the necklace leaving just enough to keep her from compulsion. She gripped it loosely in her hands before the trunk was opened. She laid still as alexander leaned close to her. When he was close enough Elena seized the moment and through the Vervain in his opened mouth. Alexander hissed as he tried to spit it out. Elena quickly climbed from the car and kicked alexander in the nuts. Once he was down Elena moved with all her strength and gripped his neck twisting it until she heard the snap. Alexander fell to the ground lifeless and Elena ran. She hoped she would make it far enough way before Alexander woke up. As Elena ran she concentrated on Elijah hoping she could see him. She made it back to the main road and ran as fast as he legs would carry her. Elena didn't know where she was but hoped someone would find her who wasn't Anna or Alexander. With a whisper against her lips Elena said his name.

"Elena?" Elijah called out as he heard her as if she was standing so close.

Elijah snapped his head back to the road and without thinking he ran the main road hoping his heart and instincts were right.
