Elena's POV

My eyes slowly opened to a bright room. Once again I freaked out, my head flew forward as I immediately searched the place for exits in case Elijah came back. My clothes were obviously changed into a hospital gown and I was now in a regular hospital bed, and in a regular room. There was two doors, one right in front of the bed looking out into the hallway and one to the right of the bed which I was guessing was the bathroom. My head rested back on the pillow underneath my head.

"Sir, you're not allowed in there. She is in critical condition." I could hear the doctor yell from out in the hallway.

"Where is she?" A familiar voice replied in anger. Elijah.

"Sir, you are not permitted to go in there. Only family are allowed to see patients in the ICU. You're not family, or at least she hasn't said anything about it."

I heard a crash just outside my room and a Elijah's voice yelling at the poor doctor. "You will tell me what room she is in, I don't need a reason to be here."

A moment later Elijah appeared in the doorway as he stood there. I could see the tenseness in his face as he used is vampire speed to reach the side of my bed. Elijah took the chair over by the wall and slid it over by the bed side. He sat down and reached for my hand as I pulled away.

"Now why aren't you still in the car where I left you for approximately fifteen minutes before you disappeared?" He asked.

"What the hell Elijah? I trusted you, I asked you to help us but instead you feed on me and then take me away from home. What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled at his face.

"What the hell is wrong with me? What the hell is wrong with you. I ask you simply not to try and get yourself killed and stay put but instead you run off with that Salvatore guy and think you can get away. You killed me and then had enough nerve to bring me back just to save your friends. What makes you think I will?" He asked, bringing his face down to my level.

"You will because you care. You need me and I need them, if you or anyone else hurts them then I can just as easily kill myself."

"Not on my watch you wont."

"What makes you so sure." I pressed.

"Just wait until we get home." He threw back.

"What makes you think I'm going home with you? I'm going home."

"Yes you are going home, with me."

Just then the doctor popped his head in the door. "Excuse me, am I interrupting?"

"No," I replied and glared at Elijah.

"Alright, it seems to me that you're doing well so its safe for you to go home. Just watch what you do for a few days and rest." He said firmly. "How did that happen anyways."

"She tripped and fell." Elijah said firmly.

I expected that he used his compulsion on him because he just nodded, unhooked me from all the machines and Iv's and let me go get cleaned up and dressed. Elijah handed me a small pile of clothes and pointed to the bathroom firmly as I quickened up my pace. I stepped inside and locked the door before I check the clothes that he had handed me. It was a small black dress with thin straps and a sweatshirt. I quickly pulled on the dress and sweatshirt, disgusted by the choice of clothes that he provided me with.

I then heard Elijah slightly outside the door pacing back and forth. I looked on the opposite side of the door at the wall and the window. I slowly walked to the window, it was just big enough for me to climb through, and luckily my room was on the second floor. I opened up the window rapidly and then climbed up to slide through. My feet were dangling outside of the window when I heard the door behind me smash open. I felt strong arms grip around my waist as I was pulled back inside.

Elijah's cold, strong hands gripped me tightly as he dragged me back to the room and threw me to the bed. I fell face first onto the bed and then I could hear the bathroom door close quickly behind me. His arm grabbed my right wrist as he pulled me up to my feet. Elijah pulled me up so that I was backed up right against his chest with my right wrist pinned behind my back.

"I told you, not on my watch." He whispered in my ear. "Now don't you ever dare try that stunt again, you hear me?"

He pushed me toward the door and then led me through the halls, down the elevator, and to the alley down below. Elijah quickly rushed me to the car as he shoved me into the front, passenger seat. He buckled me in and then grabbed both of my wrists pulling them toward him. He snapped something metal around one and then slid it through the handle on the car door, and snapped it on the other wrist. I looked down and saw a metal handcuff around my wrists.

"Now stay here for a minute." He said before he slammed the door close and disappeared.

I sat there for a minute trying to get loose when I heard someone say my name faintly outside. I looked up to see Damon standing on the sidewalk staring inside the car at me.

"Elena?" He said.

"Damon!" I yelled and struggled to get free.

Damon ran up to the window and tried to open the door but couldn't. "Damon! Don't! Run!"

"Why?" He said looking confused. "Elena what happened?"

"Elijah!"

Just then the other door opened and Elijah slid into the drivers seat. "I thought I heard someone say my name." He said. "Damon, how nice of you to pop in."

"Elijah, let her go!" Damon said.

Elijah rolled down the window a little so we didn't have to scream back and forth. Tears were streaming down my eyes as I eyed Damon in the face.

Elijah started the car and spoke, "Damon, I insist you move."

"No." Damon replied. "Let Elena go."

"If you don't move in one minute I will just simply do this." He quickly bit into my neck and make me scream out in pain.

"Alright! Alright! Stop!" Damon yelled. He backed up. "Elena, I will find you what ever it takes, I promise."

Elijah removed himself from me and let me go. I could feel the blood trickling down my neck as I laid my head back in the seat. The inside of the car started to blur as I stared straight to Damon. Elijah rolled up his window before pulling out. "I'm sorry Elena." He said before striking his hand out to me. My head slammed into the window and my vision began to blur. My eyes fell silently without a fight as I heard Damon scream my name as I tried to yell a faint "No" in return but it came out in a whisper. Elijah pulled the car out and started to drive.
