Anna was enraged.

Not only did she loose her influence on Jeremy but Damon still refused to help her... Well, when she managed to track him down that is... How could he manage to hide in this town? She was getting really frustrating right now.

When she tried to go see the Bennett's, all she received as answer was a magical headache from both women. They didn't even listen to what she had to say... How rude of them!

How did this happen? How was this possible? She was so sure she had everything under control when she arrived in town…

"So, what are you going to do now?" her accomplice asked her.

"I don't have a choice… I'm going to kidnap the Salvatore girl… Damon seems to care enough about her… I think he'll do anything he can to help her…" Anna replied.

"The girl in exchange for your mother… Nice plan!" he nodded before he left the room.

.

Anna followed Rachel for two whole days before she managed to corner her alone and without her purse loaded with weapons.

Rachel was at the Grill with a few of her human friends and had gone to the bathroom, leaving her purse with Jeremy, Caroline and Matt. Anna knocked the human Salvatore out quickly and left a letter behind addressed to "Rachel's father". Then she carried Rachel through the back door and ran in super speed to the motel room she was staying at.

.

"Rachel has been gone awhile…" Jeremy noticed.

"Maybe hanging with us was just too hard and reminded her of Tyler too much...Maybe she's crying in there..." Matt suggested.

"She might be sick... The burger had a different taste..." Caroline suggested.

"Well, she can't have left since her purse is still here... I think one of us should go check it out." Jeremy suggested.

"I'm not going in there man!" Matt replied with both his hands raised.

"I'll go and see if she's alright." Caroline said as she made her way toward the girl's bathroom of the Grill.

Caroline noticed immediately that she was all alone in the bathroom but she also noticed the envelope tapped to one of the stall doors. Knowing that something was wrong, Caroline panicked and ran back to the main room.

"What's wrong Care?" Bonnie asked her.

She had been playing pool with a few of her friends.

"Something's wrong with Rachel, she's gone and I found this letter behind. I need to find her father right away!" Caroline said.

"I think Rachel said that her father was going to meet the mayor before he picked her up for their monthly shopping trip." Jeremy said as he followed Caroline and Matt out the door.

They ran to the Town's hall and without listening to the agent telling them to slow down in the corridor. They arrived just as Damon was leaving the office.

"Matt, Caroline, Jeremy? What's going on?" Damon asked them worriedly.

"Something's wrong with Rachel… She went to the bathroom at the Grill and when she didn't come back after a while I went to see if she was sick or something because the hamburger had a weird taste that it didn't usually have but when I arrived the bathroom was totally empty except for me and there was this letter behind addressed to Rachel's father so we ran here to give it to you!" Caroline said in one breath while she handed Damon the letter.

"Thank you kids… Maybe you should let me deal with this…" Damon said immediately, not wanting to have to explain anything if a vampire was involved.

"Please just call us as soon as you have any news…" Caroline asked Damon before she left the building, followed by her boyfriend and Jeremy.

Damon quickly went back to his car and opened the envelope.

"Mister Salvatore,

I know about your uncle, the other Damon Salvatore and I know you're aware of him being a vampire.

I will keep Rachel with me until he agrees to help me open the tomb and free my mother. I don't care about the rule 'with one comes all'. I just want my mother back.

Convince your uncle to help me or Rachel will die. In a day the vervain will have left her system and I'll be able to feed…

Make the right decision.

Tell your uncle to text me soon...unless you want me to hurt her any more...

Annabelle."

Under the letter there was a cell phone number.

Damon growled and took his phone out, calling Alaric.

"What is it Damon?" The teacher asked.

"Remember I told you about Anna? Well, she decided to force my hand and kidnapped Rachel! I need help!" Damon growled.

"I'll be right over with my weapons. We'll find her Damon!" He said immediately.

Before he ran home, Damon re-read the last line... "Unless you want me to hurt her any more..."

Anymore...

It meant that Anna had hurt his baby... The bitch was going to pay, one way or another!

What did you think? Who will help? Who won't help?

Will Rachel get hurt?
