I woke up, with a huge ache in my head, looking up at the ceiling, lying on a cement floor. I tried to prop myself

up on my elbows but my head was pounding so I lay back down and looked around. Everything around me was

rock; the ceiling, the floor, even the walls but not the door. The door was a big piece of dark wood, with a small

barred window, and by the looks of it, it was really strong. Then I realised, in the corner beside the there was a

man sitting in a chair looking at me. It was Damon. "Well it's about time you wake up." he said and grinned.

"What happened? Where am I? And how long have I been here?" I said weakly, my strength was coming back

and I touched my pounding forehead and looked at my hand. Blood. "Well," he said, "at school I hit your head

against the lockers and knocked you out and you've been out of it for two days." He laughed. "This isn't funny"

I said, I had pushed myself up, so I could sit, "So get me away from, this place." I looked around again. "No way

to get out" I thought. "Where am I anyways?" I said. Damon got up and I backed away to the wall. He laughed,

"I'm glad you're scared. You should be…" just then the door swung open, interrupting Damon. The man

standing in the doorway was similar to Damon, with green eyes, short dark hair and he was really handsome,

but I could tell he looked really mad. "Damon!" he said, moving into the room. Damon moved in front of him,

blocking his path, "This has nothing to do with you, Brother. And if you don't leave, I will make you." What

happened next was too fast for my eyes to follow, but the next moment Damon was on the ground, pinned

under the other man. "It is if you're hurting girls you don't even know." the man said, but Damon smirked and

replied: "Oh but I do know her brother. Elena Gilbert, she's in my history class along with her best friends,

Caroline Forbes, Bonnie Bennett, Matt Donovan, Tyler Lockwood, and her twin brother Jeremy Gilbert. She lost

her parents a year ago and lives with her aunt Jenna." He named off a bunch of different things. "See, my dear

baby brother, I do know her." I gasped and said "How do you know that?" I was furious now. I got up and

started towards him but the other man stopped me from getting to Damon, who was now standing up in the

corner of the room. "Come on. He's not worth it." said the man holding and now leading me out of the dark

room. By the time we reached the bottom of the stairs, I had no more strength and the man had to carry me up

the tall staircase. "Thank you." I said, he smiled and said "You're welcome," there was a short pause "Elena."

He looked at me with a smile. I smiled back and said "What's your name?" we were at the top of the stairs and

I felt like I was in a castle. The man brought me to the living, which was huge, and put me down on the couch.

"My name is Stefan," he said "Stefan Salvatore." he sat down beside me and continued "I know you should

leave but please stay so I can make sure you aren't hurt." Reality kicked in just then, and I realised what he

was talking about and now, I could feel everything, and it all hurt, then my head started to feel dizzy. "Ya, I

don't think I'm too good," I said and put my hand to my aching forehead. Stefan got up and walked out of the

room. In minutes he was back with a glass of water, some pills and a cloth that looked wet. "Here" he said

"take this and I'll clean your cut." I took the glass from him and drank the pills, and then I felt a cold cloth start

to make my cut sting, "Ow" I gasped. Stefan took the cloth off and said "Sorry. Okay, I think I can take you

home now." He helped me get up and walk out to his car.
