CHAPTER NINE
Her head was leaning over the very still form that was surrounding by various machines to keep the frail body in a somewhat motioning state. She held her daughter's small hand in her slightly cold palms waiting for some sign of life to come back to her bundle of joy.
More silent tears fell from her eyes as she stared at the outcome of her very screwed up relationship. She would give anything if this was her lying on the cold hospital bed than her innocent child being stuck in a situation she never belonged to in the first place.
With trembling hands Elena grabbed her phone from the end of the bed and dialed the only number she could process to call.
"Hello ?" a groggy voice answered at the fourth ring.
"I need you to come down to the hospital." she murmured in a low and throaty tone.
"What happened ?" he asked immediately getting up from the comfort of his bed as he realized who was at the other end of the phone.
"Just- please come." she now sobbed watching the lines of the heart monitor go up and down at the visage of lime green mountains.
"Alright, I'll be there in a few." he was shoving his feet through his gray sweat pants as he hanged up the phone quickly placing a baggy sweater over his top half.
Once inside his new car, Damon drove through the familiar sites with multiple scenarios invading his mind. What if she had been so beaten up by Klaus that she ended in the hospital ? What if someone they both cared about got hurt ? there were so many more questions going through his head that he was only briefly paying attention to the road that laid out before him.
Thankfully he made it at an record time and parked his car at the parking lot that faced the humongous and intimidating building. He walked trough the electric doors passing by just a few people that sat on the dark blue chairs with exhausted expressions on their faces. He came to stop when he found what he was looking for.
"Excuse me." he said politely to the brunette woman who was clearly occupied with the stacks of papers that surrounded her spacious desk.
"Yeah ?" she questioned looking up from her paperwork.
"Hey Bon." he said with a slight smirk when he noticed the young woman was actually one of his close friends.
She chuckled lightly as she passed her hands through her mildly curled locks "Your here for Elena right ?" she asked changing her slightly happy stare to a solemn one.
"Yeah, where is she ?" from the look she was giving him at the moment, he knew whatever awaited for him in the hospital wouldn't be good (not that getting called at 3:00 am in the morning to get to the hospital wasn't warning enough).
"She's in room 304, once you get to the third floor just go to your left." she explained then gave him a sad smile as he thanked her.
Damon ran to the elevator catching an empty one by luck and pressed for the third floor. When he reached designated floor he walked pass a few rooms before reaching the cream colored door that had the numbers 304 boded in dark blue.
Quietly he knocked on the said door and waited for a response from the other side, shuffling noises were heard from the outside of the room before he was faced with a teared eyed Elena.
He entered the white painted room getting a view of white curtain covering his view to the back of the room. "what's going on ?" he asked with an raised brow.
"U'm- she couldn't find the right words to explain the current situation their daughter was in so she settled for another way of explanation please don't be mad." she whimpered as her eyes began to water once again.
"Hey, hey, why would I be mad ?" he soothed as he stepped closer to her shivering body so he could lay his warm hand on her cold arm.
She sighed and took in a calming breath trying her best to control her unstable emotions. Elena cruised towards the thick curtain and pulled it back revealing a pale little girl lying on the bed, unmoving.
His eyes widen in fear as he quickly walked towards his daughter's still form. Panic filled his mind while he keeled in front of her bed and placed his hand on her small one. "What happened ?" he asked not taking his eyes away from his new found offspring.
"Klaus-" she didn't get a chance to finish her sentence when she saw him abruptly get up from his kneeling position to walk back to her frozen figure.
"What did he do to her ?" he questioned with a particularly raised tone of voice.
"I came home and he was very angry, we were yelling at each other then one thing led to the other, so he got on top of me and was beating me... She stopped for a second getting the image of her useless body under his while his fists beat her belly into a pulp I don't know how, but I think she heard us fighting and she got on top of him so he could stop. But he reflexes sending her head first to the wall." more tears were now flowing past her cheeks as she relived that awful memory over again.
"I'm going to kill him." his hands were balling into fists of anger as she gave him a brief explanation of what went on that led his child a first ticket to a hospital room. He tried to walk past her with one thing fueling each movement he made.
She brought her hands on his clothed chest and stepped in front of him "Please don't do that." she whispered knowing she sounded like a complete idiot for even trying to defend the monster hat hurt her only pride and joy.
"Are you freaking kidding me right now ? He hurt our daughter and placed her in a hospital. What more reason do I need to give that dick a good beating." he yelled at her as if she was just an obstacle that was in the way of him getting what he wants.
"I want you to help me." she said as she stared into his furious blue orbs.
"Help you what ?" his mind was now full of curiosity than the anger that filled his head only few minutes prior.
"I want you to help me leave him." she said in a stern voice as if she was trying to convince herself that it was the best thing to do not only for her safety but for her daughter's safety as well.
"Do you really want to do that ? because the last time I check you said it was next to impossible to leave him." he said not believing her words, in his mind she was just using the conviction to leave him as a way to stop him from picking a fight with her husband.
"I only said that because I was afraid of even thinking of leaving him, I tried that once and he said he would kill all the people that I care for. So yes, it's kind of impossible to leave him without someone I love ending up dead." her voice was shaken not only from the sadness she was feeling but the rage she felt from releazing she was stuck in a relationship with no real way out.
Damon sighed as he sat on the chair that was not occupying Elena's cell. he combed his hand through his raven black hair trying to find a way to help the woman he loves out of a very disturbing marriage.
She walked up to him and layed her hands on his shoulder. "Please don't give up on me, I want to get away from him as much as you do but I can't do that unless I get some outside help." she pleaded, she didn't want to seem too desperate but now that her only child was lying on a hospital bed, unconscious. It proved to her that maybe there would never be a way out unless she got help from someone who could protect herself and Allison.
He was in deep thought as he had nothing in mind but how he could get his daughter and Elena away from the monster that is her husband. But he just couldn't do that with all the chaos that was around him, he stared at his only child for the last time before speaking his thoughts. "I won't, I just need some time to think... So I'll be back in a few okay ?" he placed his hands on her side and slowly got up from the chair to give her forehead a soft kiss.
"Alright." she whispered with a slight pout on her pink lips. She watched him walk away from the hospital room and a small sigh left her lips as she sat down on the chair right in front of the medium sized bed.
She held onto Allison's lifeless hand and pressed her cold skin on the right side of her face. More tears escaped her brown orbs while she combed her hand through Allison's light brown curls. "I am so sorry honey, you didn't deserved any of this, but your daddy and me will find a way to get us out of the mess." she whimpered laying her face on the light pink blanket. "I promise." was the last words that escaped her mouth before she fell asleep on the slightly comfortable mattress.
/
She felt a hand shaking her shoulder and suddenly her eyes snapped open to the bright light that filled the room. Groaning Elena brought her body in it's last position while stretching her stiff back and arms.
"Hey sleepy head." Stefan said with a small smile on his lips.
"Hey." she murmured as she stared at her still unmoving daughter.
"You know his not getting away with this right ?" He said while sitting on the chair that faced hers.
"I don't know what to think. His stronger than me, he has connections that are legal and illegal, there's no way for me to leave him or even get him in serious trouble for hurting my daughter." she let the disturbing sadness overcrowd her mind once again, from her perspective there was no way she could win, without Damon's help she'll probably have to deal with this for the rest of her life.
"We can help you, but you have to get ready for what my brother has planned for you" he stared at the small girl's figure and mentally cursed himself for not doing anything whenever Klaus abused Elena. If he had done something sooner, then maybe this innocent little girl wouldn't be in a hospital bed stuck in some kind of endless sleep.
"How can you help me ?" she asked with a confused expression on her face.
"I can, but I can't tell you how, not until Damon is here." Stefan clarified while intensely staring into her glum eyes.
She was about to reply to his unspecified response but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening and the sounds of someone's feet clicking on the granite floor.
D.r Fell cleared her throat before speaking up "Mrs Mikaelsen, can we have a talk outside."
Elena flinched at the name she was called by but quickly nodded her head at the doctor's request. She got up from the bed and followed her child's doctor to the outside of the hospital room.
"Is she going to be okay ?" the worried mother questioned as she looked into the other woman's eyes.
"Yes she will be, it might be a few hours or just a couple of days till your daughter fully returns from her comatose phase, but she will be just fine. Your very lucky she didn't fall with too much intensity on her head or she could've been stuck in a comma at this moment." the young doctor informed her.
She felt her eyes water for what felt like the fiftieth time that day "Thank you doctor Fell." she plastered a small smile on her lips and prayed that she wouldn't cry in front of the only person who gave her one less thing to worry about.
"Your welcome Mrs Mikaelsen." she said with a sympathetic smile on her face before she walked away from Elena.

Elena stared at the little vial of clear liquid in her hands then looked back the bowl of tomato soup on the wooden tray. She knew the only way to escape was to slip the liquid in his good and wait for the affects of the drug to completely knock him out so she could pack her stuff and get the hell out of this house once and for all.
"All you have to do is put this in his drink, or food whichever and he'll knock out for a few hours. If you put the whole thing he'll probably pass out for a few days, now this all depends on you Lena. But I do advise to put a quarter of it in there so he'll be passed out for 24 hours but again this is up to you and you can do whatever you want with it." he said placing the clear glass vial in her small hand.
She took in a deep shaky breath and mentally prepared herself for what she was about to do in a few hours.
"It just knocks him out right ? It won't like mentally damage his brain or anything ?" she questioned, even though Klaus had destroyed her life she still didn't want to do something that could kill him or mentally hurt his well being.
"Yes, think of it as a sleeping pill, it knocks him out for a few, it doesn't hurt him what soever. And yes it's legal, so even if he were to trace it back to me I wouldn't get in trouble for this." he said while staring into her big doe eyes.
She nodded her head and placed the small object in her pants pocket.
"Are you sure you're okay with this ?" by the look on her face it seemed as if she was starting to have second thoughts on their plan.
"Yes I'm sure, he has hurt not only me but my daughter. He abused and rapped me multiple times, She said with a small pause I just want to get the hell away from him and keep him as far away from Allison as possible." she replied with determination in her eyes.
Damon nodded his head at the strong woman in front of him and placed his hand on her cheek "I love you." he whispered with a small smile. He knew she needed more encouragement and if repeating the love he has for her over and over again would help then he would comply to doing so.
Elena let out a calming breath as she layed her cheek further into his soft hand "I love you too." she whispered while staring into his ocean blue orbs before bringing her lips closer to his. As she placed her lips on his addictive ones he wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer body closer to his.
As their fronts touched their kiss turned more passionate than before. He then brought her up against the wall and placed a soft kiss on her sweet neck. She let out a breathy moan while her hands gripped on his muscled back.
"What's taking so long ?" yelled Klaus from the master bedroom.
"I'm coming !" she responded as she slipped the drink into his morning meal, she took a stray spoon from the cabinet and mixed the liquid with his soup.
She grabbed onto the wooden tray and quickly walked up the stairs. Once she was inside the room she placed the wooden tray on his middle.
"Thanks." Klaus quickly said before digging into his morning meal.
Elena Calmly watched him finish his soup and his grilled cheese. Her heart was exploding inside her body as she saw his body become limp and lie down on his mattress without saying another word.
She took her cell from her pocket and dialed Damon's number.
"It's done." she said while staring at his unmoving form.
"Alright, I'll be there in a few." he hanged up his phone and dropped his last bag into the trunk of his car.
