Chapter 6

I jolted upright in bed, my eyes wide, a look of shock and terror pasted on my face. The dream had changed. I had just dreamt that Matt had been kidnapped!

In the dream, we were walking down the road from the grill, when Matt heard a cry from the alleyway. We walked down the alley to find a girl, laying curled up in the foetal position on the floor. She was sobbing her heart out. Matt called an ambulance while I knelt down next to the girl trying to find out what was wrong. I took off my jacket and draped it over the girls frame. All of a sudden, I heard Matt give a cry. I stood up and looked around. Matt was nowhere to be found. I opened my mouth to call him, when my lips were smothered with a kiss. I felt myself being guided backwards, until my back hit a wall. The persons tongue slipped past my lips and danced against my own. Almost against my will, I moaned. The person wrapped their arms around my waist, easily drawing our bodies together. Their hand went to my knee and curled my knee up over their hip. Then, for the first time ever, they pulled back but didn't leave. My eyes opened slightly to find a pair of eyes staring at me. They were the blue eyes.

'Who are you?' I asked as strongly as I could. Instead of answering, the eyes kissed me again. They wrapped my other leg around their waist and their hands roamed to the hem of my t-shirt. I stopped them and pulled away.

'Where's Matt?' I asked, stronger now.

'Somewhere.' Was the only answer I got. Before I could speak again, the stranger's lips were back on mine. My hands strayed to the hem of the black shirt the stranger was wearing. I tugged it up, no longer in control of my body or my actions. My brain had shorted out completely. The strangers hands once again strayed to my shirt hem and this time, I didn't stop them. Our lips parted so that my shirt could be pulled over my head and dropped to the floor. Our lips were reconnected in a second. Just as the mystery person's hands were caressing the skin on my bare shoulder blades, I heard sirens. It was undoubtedly the ambulance Matt had called earlier. The person kissed me fiercely once more, murmuring into my mouth 'You're mine. You may not know it yet, but you are. You've been mine before, and I'm going to make you mine again. Someday soon, you'll remember me. I swear it. Someday soon, I'll make you mine forever, Elena.' And with that, they were gone.

I got dressed as quickly as I could before running downstairs, grabbing a bowl of cereal and switching the news on.

'…A girl was found half dead in an alley last night, in Mystic Falls. It is believed that she was sexually assaulted and violently stabbed. She is currently lying in hospital suffering from shock and severe blood loss. Also, Matt Donovan has not been seen since last night at about 8 o clock. The police have no idea of where he might be. They are urging anyone with information to come forward and help them in their investigation.' I stopped eating. I turned the television off. This was getting way to creepy.

I walked into the rock shop and saw that Teresa was standing there having a conversation with someone. The someone looked over Teresa's shoulder and their eyes met mine. They had blue eyes. Not dark blue, not light blue. They were they EXACT shade as the eyes that I kept seeing everywhere I looked, even in my dreams. I looked down and walked around to the other side of the shelf. I picked my apron up and put it on, tying it behind me. I heard the bell above the door chime and the door closed. It was deadly silent in the shop. I walked around the shelf to the cash register.

'Are you okay?' Teresa asked worriedly

'Yeah. Yeah I'm fine.' I said, planting a smile on my face that I hoped seemed real and believable.

'Oh okay. It's just, I thought that you knew that guy, I mean, when he looked at you, you looked down and blushed. I just thought that maybe, you know…' She trailed off. I looked at her.

'No, I don't know him.' I said and turned away as a family of four walked in through the shop door.

My shift flew by, and before I knew it, I was walking up the 199 steps to my spot for an hour's worth of reading. I got to the Abbey and walked over to my spot, only to find that there was someone sitting there. They looked up and I gasped. It was the same guy that had been talking to Teresa earlier. I whipped around and went to walk away, when I felt a hand on my arm.

'Are you okay?' The guy said, as I warily turned to face him. I knew that voice, if I could just remember where from…

'Miss? Is everything alright?' The guy asked, looking at me with concern marring his features.

'I…I'm… fine.' I stuttered. ' I just remembered that I left something the rock shop.' I lied as I jerked my arm out of the guy's hand. I walked away. Just as I reached the top of the stairs however, I heard a voice 'Excuse me! I think you dropped your phone.' The guy said, walking towards me holding out my purple Blackberry Curve.

'Thanks.' I said, taking it from him with a grateful smile. I tucked it into my pocket.

'Your welcome.' The guy said. All of a sudden, there was a gust of wind and the guy had disappeared. Completely vanished. Where he had been standing was a thick black feather, a Raven feather. I looked at it, before some unknown force compelled me to bend down, pick the feather up, and tuck it into my bag.
