Roman picked himself up off the ground, the blast had knocked him at least twenty feet away from the house, he stood shaking his head trying to get the ringing in his ears to stop, it only took a moment for everything to clear up. Roman looked at the Boarding house as it was burning, his expression was that of complete shock.
'Who did this?'. Roman was shakin from his thoughts when he peered to his left, he saw Elena lying there motionless, he rushed over and crouched beside her . Lifting Elena into his arms.
"Elena...Elena". Roman spoke her name trying to get her to wake up, he checked her pulse, feeling it there he sighed in relief, thankfully she was just unconscious. Roman lowered Elena back to the ground and took out his cell phone to call 911, but just as he was about to dial his phone rang, his lips pursed in anger as he recognized the number, he hesitated for a moment before answering the phone.
"What did you do?". The voice on the other end spoke softly, the accent clearly British.
"I would drop the tone if I were you mate, you see let's consider the house the start of my retribution for Markus and the rest of my wolves you tore apart". Roman's voice rose as he answered.
"THEY ATTACKED ME". The voice on the other end continued to speak softly.
"You see the problem with that is I don't really care, but I'll tell you this..by the end of this you'll wish they had killed you. Maybe next I'll go after you're brother". Roman yelled back through the phone.
"YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE". The voice on the other end chuckled at him.
"You're right. I have a better idea, how about that girl I saw you jump out of the house with". Roman looked over to Elena as she lay unconscious, his voice finally lowering.
"Please, do what you want to me, but leave everyone else alone". The voice chuckled at him again.
"Oh you know that's not how this works, doesn't really matter anyway, at the end of all this. I will have you head on a stick mate". The voice hung up. Roman lowered his phone, he was seething, he slammed his fists down on the ground letting out a scream of rage. After a moment Roman remembered that Elena needed help, he collected himself long enough to dial 911 and report the fire, before he scooped Elena up in his arms and hurried to his car, he sat her in the front passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt, then rushed over the the driver side and sped off, all he knew at the moment was that they needed to get the hell out of dodge.
Virginia Beach,Virginia
Elena stirred, waking up in a daze, she blinked a few times trying to clear her vision, when everything cleared up she took a moment to look at her surroundings, she sat up when she noticed she was in a hospital room. Elena looked around confused, a moment later a nurse walked in.
"Oh you're awake". Elena didn't hesitate to speak.
"What's going on?". The nurse approached and began to check Elena vitals.
"You were in a bad accident, your friend brought you in, but don't worry, he is just out in the hallway". Elena's eyebrows creased in thought.
'Accident? friend?'. A moment later Roman walked in and Elena eyes widened as she remembered.
'The house exploded'. After the nurse asked Elena to take one last deep breath, she put her stethoscope back around her neck.
"Okay, everything seems fine, the doctor will be in shortly". Roman nodded at the nurse as she left. Roman looked at Elena with concern.
"How are you feeling? Are you okay?". Elena took a moment to actually relax and examine herself, she felt slightly sore, but other than that she felt fine, so she nodded at Roman.
"Yeah I think so, but Roman what happened?. I remember the house exploding as we flew out the door and then...black". Roman nodded.
"I'll explain after we get out of here".
A few moments later the Doctor walked in and gave Elena a quick examination.
"Well you seem okay, but I usually don't like to release someone who was unconscious without at least overnight observation". Elena spoke up.
"No Doctor, I'm okay I promise". The doctor still looked hesitant. Roman put his hand on the Doctor's shoulder and made him look into his eyes.
"She's a nurse doc, if she says she's okay, then let her go". The doctor nodded his head, clearly compelled.
"Yes, I will get your release papers". After the Doctor walked out, Roman turned his attention to Elena.
"Come on let's go". Elena looked at him confused.
"But don't we need to wait to sign the release forms' '. Roman shook his head.
"It doesn't matter right now, you're okay, so we need to get going". Roman held his hand out and Elena took it, he helped her off the hospital bed and to her feet, they walked out of the room and down the hallway. Elena watched Roman a bit concerned, he was a little jittery, he seemed very worried. As they exited the hospital Roman took off his dark blue hoodie and wrapped it around Elena.
"Here it's cold out". Elena started to say thank you but Roman continued to walk past her, not slowing down a bit. Once he reached his car he unlocked the door and slid into the driver's seat, anxiously waiting for Elena to get in the passenger's side, when she did Roman didn't even wait for her to buckle her seat belt before he started the car and backed out of the parking lot, he proceeded to go at a definite illegal speed down the road. Elena looked at him concerned.
"Roman you're scaring me what happened? and..." Elena peered out the window taking in the city, it definitely was not Mystic Falls. Elena looked back at Roman.
"Where are we?". Roman decided to answer the second question first, his eyes never leaving the road, his demeanor anxious.
"We are in Virginia Beach. I have a house here that we can stay in, hopefully long enough until we can figure out what to do. Someone is after me,that 's why they blew up the Boarding house and now as a consequence of your association, he's after you too". Elena sat up now in high alert.
"Roman, who's after us?". Roman sighed.
"A guy named Klaus Mikaelson".
