Thank you all for your reviews! You are all so supportive. Sorry for the lack of Damon in the first few parts of the story, but don't worry next chapter will have more.

Avoiding Damon was my only priority these days. I knew I should hate him more than anyone else and I did hate him but not as much as I wanted to and that scared me. I'd spent most of the next week wandering around the house or staying in my room. The maids made nice company but they didn't replace my friends back home. Home, why couldn't I be there right now? Why did I have to be in the wrong place at the wrong time? Jeremy was probably going crazy looking for me. Everyone probably knew who was responsible for my kidnapping, but the police were too afraid to do anything. The Salvatores ran this town whether the police admitted it or not.

"Hey Elena," Rachel interrupted my thoughts. She was one of the maids in the house. I was probably the closest with her out of all of them. She was always nice to me. It was nice to finally have some friends here, but I don't think they completely knew about my situation. Rachel probably didn't, she was one of the younger maids here. She worked alongside her sister Julia.

"Hey," I responded. I was sitting in my bed even though it was the middle of the day. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure," she told me.

"How did you end up working for Damon? It's just you're so…" I went to finish my statement but she cut me off.

"Young? Yeah I get that a lot. It's a complicated story. Damon's father grew up with our father. They grew quite close over the years. Naturally, we were forced to spend a lot of time with the Salvatore family growing up. Since Julia was older, she spent more time with Damon. They were pretty close for a while, but you know life gets in the way and they drifted apart."

"Damon had a friend?" I asked surprised.

"Yes," she giggled at my shock, "he wasn't always like this. Anyways, one day our parents died suddenly."

"I'm so sorry," I reached out and touched her hand, "my parents died too."

"I'm sorry. So Julia and I needed a place to stay and work. We looked for jobs but no one would hire us this young. When Damon heard about our situation, he offered us a job and shelter. It really wasn't that bad of a deal."

"So you're here of your own free will?" I asked her.

"Yes, aren't you?" she clearly didn't know the whole story. I didn't know if I should tell her or not. What was she going to do? Rescue me?

"Well it's complicated," I lied. I didn't want her asking any questions and fortunately she didn't.

"I have to get back to work. I came to tell you that lunch is ready downstairs," she started to walk towards the door. She wasn't wearing the usual outfit you would expect of a maid. Instead she had simple jeans on with a t-shirt. Her dark brown hair fell down to her shoulders completely straight.

"Is Damon there?" I couldn't see him. I just couldn't.

"No don't worry, I believe he's in the office working."

"Good cause I'm starving," I walked towards the door.

"You know Elena, he really isn't such a bad guy," she tried to convince me but it wouldn't work.

"I'll take your word for it."

Before I even stepped foot in the kitchen I could smell the delicious food that made my stomach crave it. The food always tasted incredible no matter what the dish was. That was probably the best part about this place, if there was one.

I stepped into the kitchen to find a plate of sandwiches waiting there for me. The maids let me take a few and I sat down at the table. It didn't take me long to empty my plate. My stomach was completely satisfied for once. I'd skipped a few meals to avoid Damon.

After eating, I went to another one of my favorite places in the house; the library. They had so many books and Damon didn't care if I roamed it freely, as long as I didn't try to run away. I walked around the isles picking out books to read, but today I was interrupted before I could start reading.

"What do we have here?" I watched as Klaus walked into the room. My blood ran cold as I realized other minions surrounded him.

"Oh hi Klaus," I said nervously as I made my way towards the door. He knew what I was doing and soon the minions surrounded me. I had no way of escaping.

"You know your little stunt got me in a lot of trouble," he started walking towards me slowly.

"If I remember correctly, it was your little stunt," I knew I shouldn't be upsetting him right now but I couldn't help it.

"That's quite a mouth you've got there," he kept getting closer to me.

I didn't say anything; I didn't really know what to say. I tried to back away from him but I collided with another body. I'd seen him around before but I didn't know his name. Damon made sure I didn't talk to any of his men.

"I don't know what Damon sees in you," he started pacing around me, looking me up and down.

"Aww is someone jealous that their master isn't giving them enough attention," I snapped at him. His face completely changed to one filled with anger. I knew I'd said the wrong thing this time.

"You're going to pay for that Elena."

I felt the man behind me grab my hands and hold them behind my back. I struggled against his grip but it was no use, he was too strong for me.

Klaus was soon standing right in front of me, looking down at me in disgust. Before I could say anything, I felt his hand collide with my face and my head turned to the side. My cheek burned from the slap but I couldn't touch it.

A devilish grin spread across his face as he crashed his lips forcefully into mine. I tried to push him away but my arms were still held behind my back. Soon he was kissing me down my neck. I was completely helpless.

"Let her go," he ordered the man behind me. I felt my arms being released and I immediately tried to run away, but a man stopped me and shoved me to the ground. I hit my head on the floor as my body made impact with it.

"This is going to be fun," Klaus said as he hauled me up from the ground. He lifted up my chin so I was looking at him. "Nothing to say?"

"Go to hell," I spat.

He shoved me again and I expected to hit the floor again but instead I felt another one of the men catch me. Instead of helping me, he pushed me again and soon they were all passing me around in a circle like some kind of toy. My head hurt and my world was starting to spin. Eventually I made my way back to Klaus and the evil grin was back on his face.

"You really should be careful who you mess with," he started to lean in to me again and I feared the worst. Suddenly I felt Klaus being thrown off of me. Someone had stopped him.

"I'm sorry," I heard Klaus plead with whoever had come to my rescue.

When the man finally came back over to me, I saw who it was. Damon was the man who helped me ironically.

"Elena can you hear me?" he looked me in the eyes. I tried to focus on him but my world was spinning. I felt him try to steady me, but it wasn't working.

"Damon," was all I could say before my world went black.
