It had been hours, hundreds of sweat drops had trickled down her face, she felt sick at this point, why was captive this way, certainly Kol had something in his head, and it was rotten, she knew it. It had been hours since she had been trying to loosen the ropes that tied her hands at her back, her hands were sweaty and slippery and she felt that if she tried to scratch the damp portion of the ropes she would easily cut it. But what after that, she had her eyes set on the boxes at the far end of the room, her plan was, she's hide there and when Kol shows up, she would sneak from the back, she didn't know how many people he had here, she had seen none.
The noise of the large metal door gave her goosebumps and she tried to conceal the damage she had done to the ropes by pushing her back against the column she was tied against.
"Elena." He called in a sing-song voice, she bit her lip to keep herself from crying, he just paranoid her. "You're not sleeping again now are you?" he walked across the column to sit in front of her and sat back, "oh let me help you." He said and leaned forward, brushing away the hair from her face, she pulled back, showing her repulsion, she knew that would make him mad. It did, but like the other two times, he didn't hit her, just gritted his teeth. Then after a intake of breath to calm himself down, sat back, passing a tray to her feet, "Look what I brought you?"
Just looking at the shrimp and the noodles, her stomach growled in hunger, he chuckled listening to that. She kept the cold look on her face.
"You're hungry, aren't you?"
She nodded, she was hungry, she felt like she hadn't eaten in days.
"Here." his voice soft, he picked up a fork and rolled the noodles in the utensils holding it in front of her mouth, like an instinct her mouth watered and she leaned her head forward to eat it, but he moved it back that instant, she knew it! This was some game of his.
"Not this way." He laughed at how tense she got, she was seriously on the verge of crying. He shook his head then, "No, no Elena, I was kidding , all of this is yours it is." He cooed, she looked up from her lap, tears rolling down her cheeks, as she looked at the food. "All you have to do is be a nice little girl, have some manners, be a little thankful to your host."
She frowned at his words, she felt her throat dry, too dry to talk, "What do you want?"
"Show me you're thankful."
"Arghh I."
He interrupted her by pushing the fork into her mouth that instant, she wasn't going to protest, she ate whatever was on the fork, he pulled the fork back and smirked, "See how good that tastes right?"
She nodded, "Thank you."
"Aww that's like a good girl." He patted the side of her face and sighed, "Now do you want more?"
She nodded, he pouted, "O fcourse you do, now that you know how good it tastes-"
"Kol please just give me the damn-"
"No! No absolutely not sweetheart you don't get to talk to me that way, you want more, you gotta be nicer."
"What do you want?"
"You know what I want? I want you to be mine, I want you to accept me Elena." He kept the bowl aside and her eyes just kept staring at it as he spoke, "I fucking hate it that I have to do this to you, I don't want to fuck you without you wanting it."
"Kol you're sick! You know I am married!" she spat and finally was able to look away from the food, "If you had been stalking good enough you must know I am in love with someone else."
"So why'd you let Tyler Lockwood near you Elena." He said suddenly, she was shocked for a second but then she realized, he knew everything, "It was just to make a statement in front of Damon, and I didn't do it."
"Elena what the hell is stopping you now? You know he doesn't want you, he doesn't love you like I do, he cant imagine loving you that much." he gritted his teeth moving forward and cupped the back of her hair, holding her head up, she winced, "You don't love me, you are obsessed with this screwed up idea."
"You think that? I've always fucking loved you, I kicked my family for you!" he growled and gripped her hair harder, "I would give up everything unlike your precious "husband", who is here because of Klaus." He spat, "Not because he wants to take you away from the city and it's pollution, or so that you could roll around on the beach, he is here because Klaus is here, and Klaus is here because I wanted him here, if your husband weren't such a selfish prick, you'd still be home, away from the man , you call sick, with the person you call the love of your life- who doesn't care, simply doesn't give a fuck about you."
Every word from his mouth sliced her heart further, she closed her eyes to stop the further tears, another lie, the reconciliation was based on a lie? How could Damon do that to her? he had no respect for her whatsoever and he claimed he loved her? Kol was more believable than Damon at this point, and this kidnapper was a sick man!
"Please let me go."
"For what? So you can beg him to come back to you?" he pulled at her hair at this point her skull was burning, "Elena if you don't give this up soon, I'll be forced to do this without you wanting it." He let her hair go and held her shoulders, "I don't want to have my way with you and then cut you to pieces for your dear husband to pick up- because you know that, if I can't have you, no one else is going to. Not that Italian bastard certainly."
(-HM-HM-HM-HM-)
"How much do you have to cover; it's a fucking box, this place isn't that big!" Damon shouted at Enzo on the phone, "I'll fucking kill you all, you have the idea right? I want my fucking wife away from that sicko, and if she is not here by sunset Enzo, you'll not be so safe yourself."
"I am trying Boss, we've spread men all over, he cant get out of here."
"Well if you're so efficient why is my wife kidnapped? The guy you appoint here schemes to kidnap my wife with that son of a bitch, I swear if you don't find Elena, you'll be very sorry." He growled and shut the phone, at that exact instance, his phone beeped and he picked it up, "Calm down Gray."
"Damon, anything happens to Elena-"
"I know, I know, I'll find her, he is on the island." He continued as he walked back to their room for the hundredth time maybe and looking for anything that would indicate where he could be, that's what he had been doing, going back and forth between the living room and his room- to find anything, it had been over a day that she was gone and he was getting very concerned , Kol could seriously harm her, he could damage her physically and mentally. He didn't want that for her. He didn't want her to go through anything. "You don't have to come Gray." He said after hearing Grayson ramble for over five minutes, "We are handling it."
"You are handling it? My daughter is kidnapped, do you even care?" he spat, "Once I find Elena, I am taking her home with me."
"Gray shut up." He said in a cold , detached voice, he didn't want to hear about being an asshole from a man who was a redeemed asshole. Right when he was about to leave the bedroom again, something caught his attention, the magazine she was reading on the plane, had a paper in it, a notepad paper, he walked to the nightstand and flipped the magazine open, listening to Gray's threats, his eyes fall on the thick paper, it was a sketch, not complete – but he could tell it was his picture, his heart started aching looking at it, maybe she made it when he fell asleep on the plane.
"I made a mistake thinking you'd protect my daughter, you upset her, you don't take care of her!" Gray's yell broke through his thoughts and he didn't know how to calm Gray's temper. "I am on it, trust me, Elena will be home safe by sunset." He didn't hear to more of Gray's threats and shut the phone, everything was crushing him, he felt failed right now, he knew it wasn't time to let yourself fall, but just because of one stupid fight, Elena was in actual danger, she was unknown to it. Just looking at the sketch broke his heart over and over. He wanted to just have a sign so he could find her, and nothing would ever hurt her again, whether it was some psychopath or him.
(-HM-HM-HM-HM-HM-)
Her excitement was growing, the ropes were not as tight and she could feel that with a good tug she'd be able to free her hands, she dragged her hips forward and pulled at her restraints, as planned, they came right off, she took a breath of relief and pulled out her hand, it was covered in dirt and sweat, threads from the rope stuck in her nails, she quickly reached for her feet a and pulled at them wildly, she couldn't wait to get out of them. Now she just had to wait for the gate to open once, hit him or just sneak, she crawled and then stood on her feet once she felt some what blood flow, "Ahhh." Her feet hurt from being tied so much, her intuition just suggested to run, no solid plan whatsoever. The floor felt like a landscaping of gravel, it wasn't smooth and since Kol had taken off her shoes, it wasn't pleasant to walk on it, she however managed to hide behind some oil drums she saw on one side, she sat against them waiting for his next appearance, or anyone for that matter. She couldn't depend on any 'saving' anymore. She was tired of this, at this point she felt like she had nothing lose, but she wasn't going down without a fight. She steadied her breaths and looked around for any sort of weapon, as if god sent- her eyes stopped on the four to five long steel bars- she crawled forward making minimum noise and picked out the one which wasn't longer than her height. If she didn't feel so weak from being dehydrated and hunger, she could hold it better, it felt heavy, she picked it up and practiced to keep it steady. Just then she heard noise at the far end, her heart picked up pace and she settled back behind the drums, 'This is not a game Elena-one shot.' What if she hit him and he died? She didn't feel like she was capable of killing someone. She had to get out because he would kill her if she didn't.
Surprisingly, when he saw her place empty- he didn't make any sudden movements or showed he was shocked, he sighed as if disappointed and shook his head, "Come on baby, I know you're here somewhere. I know exactly where."
She took in a breath and felt herself involuntarily moving back.
"This is perfect, I love this game, but you know Elena, if I win- I will fuck you." He said in a sing song voice. She clenched the rod tighter in her hands when she heard his steps coming closer, "And I'll keep you forever Elena, I have the perfect little room for you, with everything you like."
She rolled in her lips, not wanting to make a sound before her attack but before she could launch on him, The drums infront of her was punched away, a shriek left her and she fell back as a reflex, the gate was open, one hit.
"Ko-Kol Stop!"
"You're fucking stupid aren't you?" he cocked his head to a side, "to think you are in control, you had enough time in control, the camera didn't show you holding that thing, now give me it."
Ofcourse a camera.
"NO!' she screamed and stood up on her feet, "DON'T YOU DARE COME FORWARD." She threatened him and backed away from him, "oh! I am scared." He mocked, the next second he pulled out his gun, "See that?"
"You'll shoot me?" she asked in disbelief, "You say you love me!" she screamed, this time she saw the expressions on his face change, "You tell me you love me and there you are pointing a gun at me, how am I suppose to trust you? How? How do you expect me to fall in love with you."
"You'll never fall in love with me." he spat.
"I never wanted to fall for my husband but you saw that happen didn't you, and you're being exactly like him, you want to hurt me!" she said with tears filling her eyes, she could see she made him guilty, he shook his head, "I am nothing like him Elena, I would leave anything to be with you, I am not a selfish money hungry bastard like him." He looked at the gun in his hand and then her , then swallowed thick, pulling the magazine out, she saw him throw the bullets near his feet, "I can't hurt you."
"I know you won't." she took a sigh and wiped the tears from her cheeks, "Please just tie me up- I won't run away I promise."
"You do?" he asked taking a step towards her, she nodded, "I know you wouldn't hurt me, if anything you're protecting me from Klaus and you're doing a better job than Damon I guess."
"Yes, yes I am." He said smugly and walked up to her, he took the rod from her hand and threw it to the side, then he tipped her chin up, "I am not Damon, you know that right?"
his thumb rubbed against her chin, she held his arm and nodded, "We both lacked trust." She pursed her lips and squeezed his arm, "Maybe the trust issues mess with your head." She pushed his arm and kicked the best she could against his groin, he groaned and fell to his knees, she quickly reached for the rod and hit his head, he shouted trying to hold her wrist but she dug her nails into his hand getting herself free, "LEAVE ME YOU PERVERT!" when he fell back she quickly started running to the gate screaming for help. She knew he was not far behind, when she went through the gate, there wasn't any light, maybe they were in some basement, because she located stairs, she ran to the stairs and ran them up, taking two to three steps at a time, she knew he was right by the voices, before she could reach for the door, he held her back, by wrapping his arm around her middle and the other around her neck, "You fucking bitch!"
she pushed her body forward and kicked her feet, but he picked her mid-air, he swung her around and threw her down on the stair, slapped her across the face, she pushed against him and fought back, scratching him, hitting him. He held her down with one of his hand, and with his other hand pulled something out of his pocket, her eyes widened when she saw a syringe in his hand, she squirmed to free herself and shook violently to avoid it, he straddled her and grabbed her hair pulling them, he plunged the syringe in her neck and she shouted , he let it, cupping her mouth, "That's it, off to sleep now."
"Mmghh."
"I love you too." He said pulling out the syringe which he had injected into her neck moments ago
(-HM-HM-HM-HM-HM-)
"We checked every room." Nick- his blonde hair in a ponytail, he was one of the expert Mafioso member of the area, his men were like sharp police dogs, they could search anyone up. Enzo walked back to the car and the window rolled down, Damon raised a brow, "She's not here, I know she cant be- we need to look in places that are less crowdy."
"That's just too easy for him, I know he wants to challenge me."
"He is known to have APD, I think he'd avoid people." Enzo looked around and huffed, "It shouldn't be this hard, it's just a hundred kilometers. But with all these private cabins-"
"I don't give a fuck about anyone's private cabin, you tell them to get out, they don't want to get out, break the door down, shoot them in the head- I want my damn wife back."
"Cabins look like a risk Boss." He pursed his lips, "We're missing something, it can't be possible, it's a kidnapping, so even if he had her knocked out, she's going to wake up, she'll scream for help, and that's trouble for him.
Damon nodded, "That must be it, she can't be in a remote crowded place, so that crosses out city center but the private cabins, it can have a basement."
"It can." He nodded, Damon got out of the car and looked around, "Rule out the ones without basements."
(-HM-HM-HM-HM-HM-)
When she woke up this time, he was right there, when she looked around, this place looked different , a smaller room than the previous one, she was lying on top of something wooden, her head had a pillow under it and no surprise, her hands were tied, he was sitting by her feet, touching them every other moment, "Hey."
She huffed throwing her head on her shoulder, "Where am I?"
"Umm I'd rather not tell you." He pouted, then let his hand touch her ankles, "How's your neck? Look I wanted it to be painless, but hey, I don't do this daily and you were very jumpy."
She bit her lip now actually starting to feel the pain in her neck and the shoulder near to that side, when she looked down to see she could definitely see a green-blue dark spot. "Guess you don't trust me afterall."
"And I shouldn't! after that little stunt you pulled." He rolled his eyes and leaned forward, "You're so proud of the fact that you tricked me, that you used something Damon taught you."
"The kick in the balls? That's all Bonnie." She moaned pulling away from him, he nodded "Well I am helpless, that I am so irreversibly in love with you."
She groaned as he got up, hands on his hips, "In fact I brought you something, you'll love it, it'll definitely give you some closure."
She narrowed her eyes, 'What'd you do?"
"I am not going to ruin the surprise." He grinned and walked across the wooden structure to get close to her, he loosened the ropes around her waist and allowed her to sit up, boat, she was on top of a boat that was flipped over, rods- wood, oil- this was a dockyard. A fucking dockyard. He went out of the room and a minute later entered with a large bag that was over his shoulder, he was out of breath carrying it on his shoulder, he put it down in front of her and smiled at her, "It's not your birthday, but consider it a 'meeting present'." His eyes twinkled.
She swallowed thick looking at the dark blue bag skeptically, "What is it?"
"Oh you want me to open it?" his pupils dilated in excitement and he held the zipper at the top, "close your eyes."
"Kol." She said worried, "What did you do?"
"CLOSE-YOUR-EYES." He said with gritted teeth , suddenly so serious, she shuddered and closed her eyes that instant.
She heard the zipper open but she didn't open her eyes, she didn't want to test him, he was off his rocker. "Okay now you can look."
She swallowed thick, opening her eyes, when she looked down to where the bag was previously, a scream left her mouth, maybe the loudest she has ever screamed , even though she was tied , she pulled back and cried, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!"
Right in her feet was a dead body, not just any dead body- it was Rose, completely naked, bruised, stab wounds all over her upper body, her eyes still wide open, but the wounds were turning all sorts of colors, looked like she was dead a while ago.
"What have I done? Don't you mean thank you?" he chuckled, "She hurt you didn't she?"
Her entire body was shaking, she was kicking to drag herself away from the body, "Please-Please get it away from me KOL!"
"Relax Elena relax." He pushed the bag from the top and moved forward, wrapping his arms around her, "It's going to be fine, relax."
"How could you this! Why? Why did you kill her?" she shook and pushed at him, "Please, please don't hurt me Kol, please!"
"No, no Elena I can never hurt you." He cooed and cupped her face, she tried to move but when she saw his eyes getting stony, she tried to calm herself down, once her eyes fell on Rose's discarded body she shrieked again, breaking into sobs, He pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her, patting her hair, "Shhh, she had to die."
"No-No."
"Elena, she hurt you, I know how hurt you were seeing her around Damon, he might not know but I do, she made you insecure, I would never have let her breathe after that." He whispered against her ear, "Don't cry over her, she was a fucking bitch you know that? She wanted to hurt you, she took money from me to fuck your husband."
The words just hit like loud intolerable drums against her ears, she looked up at him, "You what?" she sniffled.
"I had to get you one way or another, Tyler didn't work like I planned so I planted Rose, she told me how your husband loved to snort cocaine off her stomach, I thought it'll work since you were being the loyal virgin, well suddenly Damon was into monogamy. She couldn't fuck him? You believe that? I give her all these months and she couldn't do it? She comes back and says, she needs time, she's making you upset and she can't even get work done, so what do I do?"
"Urghhh." She pushed her elbows against his chest to move away from him, "Oh God you're out of your fucking mind!"
"I am! I am out of my fucking mind Elena, but who made me this way, your father forced me to do this, he knew I was in love with you, he could have seen me as someone separate than Klaus and let this grow organically but NO! he closed and blocked all ways for me to see you, to hear you!, he forcefully made you marry him. I tried to get you out of my fucking head but I can't, and I've stopped trying!"
"KOl you don't love me! this is fucking sick! Don't call it love, don't expect love, because I can't love you." She shouted, but she regretted the next moment she regretted it when he got ahead and held the back of her head, slapping her so hard, she screamed, her cheek numb this time. "You have to, because you can't get out, at least not alive, you hear that, you're not walking out of here, you get that." He whispered near her hair, "You see Rose right? See what I do when I get annoyed?." She gasped when she felt a sharp textured thing pointed to her stomach, he traced it up and she looked down to see a knife, he grinned, "That's right, I am as good with a knife like I am with a gun. So if you don't want me to cut you up, stuff you into that bag with Rose and send it to Damon, I think it's best you do what I say."
She shivered from his words and nodded- he smirked, "That's like a nice girl. Now, if you thank me for the present, I'll be on my way and dispose this stinking whore to the shore, see what I did there?" he chuckled.
She looked up at him like she was disgusted by him , yet still she mustered up effort, "Tha-Thank you."
He clutched the back of her hair tighter, "That's a little dry Elena, wouldn't kill you to give a kiss, not giving it might though." She frowned and pursed her lips, swallowing thick, she knew he wasn't kidding about anything. "It's not like I am telling you to suck my cock!" he growled, she shuddered and leaned up to peck against his lips, pulling back as fast as she could, he pushed her down on the boat, "Okay, we gotta drop this one, you don't go an anywhere, I am coming back and playing with you."
She clutched her hands tightly and cringed, he dragged the body against the floor out of the room and shut the door after him, Elena took a breath of relief as tears filled her eyes, Rose's dead body was haunting her already, but she was glad about one thing, she kissed kol- he had pulled her to his lap, he didn't notice it, she had hit her closed fist against his pocket and pulled out his cell-phone, he didn't realize that she covered it with her thigh, she sat up and shoved it to the side, then bent her head reaching for it, at the same time letting her hips yank it up, once she could lean down, she pushed her nose against the main button, when it switched open, survivor spirit filled her, the password toned it down though, her mind was telling her fuck it, this was her only chance, Kol was obsessed with her! It has to be her name, she used her tongue to fill in the alphabets.
The sudden 'ding' when it opened filled her with joy, tears started rolling down her cheeks as she put her tongue on the call menu and dialed up her Dad's number, it was rejected on the very first bell, she looked around and dialed it again- not picking up.
One choice, she is stuck with a psychopath, this might be the last time ever she speaks to anyone, Kol was definitely killing her. Fuck it! She bent down again ignoring her aching neck and dialed Damon's number, she prayed on each passing caller bell that he's pick up, he didn't, she groaned in frustration and sat back, tears rolling down her cheeks. When she heard the door clicking, she pulled the phone with her side under her back and lied down on it, he came inside with a satisfied smile, "Hope you're hungry, I've got you a burger."
He sat by her side and patted her cheek, she just looked up at him blankly, hoping he'd not look for his phone, "Elena." he sighed, "Why are you making me do this?"
She didn't respond.
"I mean I don't want to hurt you, you know that right? I just want you to love me the way I love you." He leaned down and pressed a kiss against her lips, a little sound of protest escaped her mouth but she knew better than to make him angry, he made her sit up slightly and she quickly sat on top of the phone which went un-noticed to him, he took out the burger and unwrapped it, holding it in front of her, just thinking about eating it made her nauseous, he had just disposed a dead body, "I am not hungry."
"Yes you are baby, don't make me beat the shit out of you now." he smiled, "Come on." His voice got dangerous, he pushed it against her mouth and she ate a bite, then pulled back, he shook his head at her, she moved her head forward taking another bite and then sat back, "Please just get me some water, my throat hurts."
"You shouldn't have screamed so much."
"Kol please." She blinked at him, he sighed and got up, "Okay, I am going to get you a water bottle, and here you go." He kept the burger on her ankles, "You can eat it if you reach it." . Soon the light in the room was dimming, it was getting darker, so the day was over, Kol had been gone for a while and her stomach was churning with hunger, yet she wanted to throw up every time she was reminded of his present
She didn't say anything, once he was out the door, she fell back on the pillow like thing at the back of her head, her throat really hurt, just when she thought things couldn't get more alarming, the phone under her ass began vibrating, she gasped and shifted , pushing it with her legs to the side. Kol could be back any second! This wasn't the right time, but when she saw the number, her heart stopped, she pressed her tongue against the 'accept' after leaning her head down, "What's the info?" she heard Damon's voice, very in rush, very 'busy' voice.
"Damon! It's me Elena." she whispered against the cellphone and looked at the door to see if it was closed, 'what if he had a camera here?'
"ELENA? where are you? I've been looking all over? Whose cell phone are you using?" his voice as if he found the treasure chest he had been searching for.
"I am at a dockyard, I don't know, Kol -it's Kol."
"I know, I know don't worry baby, you're going to be okay, just tell me what this place looks like, give me a little hint."
Tears filled her eyes, "It's, it's old and closed, it has old boats and empty oil drums, I don't know, I don't know!" she cried, "He's sick! He'll kill me."
"That's not going to happen, don't freak out, I am finding this place, keep this thing on, I'll be there in no time." He barked orders around and she felt like he was driving by himself now, "Elena don't hang up keep talking to me okay?"
"Okay." She swallowed thick.
"I am on my way, I am going to find you, and I promise you I'll fix everything, I will, just don't give up on me." it sounded like a plead, she had never heard his voice so shaky and desperate, even though she tried she couldn't stop the tears running down her eyes, soon she heard the noise of someone coming downstairs. "He's coming." She whispered against the phone and pushed it back, but it slid and fell down on the floor, her eyes widened, if Kol saw it, game was over.
"I got your water." He entered the room and closed the door after himself, "I know you like the Fiji one, fun fact- I bought a whole pack of those before planning your abduction." He sat by her side and opened the bottle, "Here."
She sat up and drank it, he pulled back the empty bottle and pouted when he touched his pocket, her heart dropped, "I think I dropped my phone while dumping that bag."
"Oh." She swallowed thick, "you had a-"
He interrupted her saying, "I dropped it or maybe you stole it."
GAME OVER.
A/N: Hey guys thank you for reading, I am sorry if this is a little gore for you. I tried my best to not bring in the pervert kidnapper scenes, do review guys, it encourages the writer, thank you for the reviews! The last response was so over-whelming even though I wrote the shortest chapter.
Will Elena survive? Even if she does what's going to save her marriage? Is Kol a complete nut case? Should Elena be saved or should save herself?
