Chapter XII: Just Laid there

I just laid there. Letting this wolf do what he needed to do until he was done. The switch was flipped. I felt nothing. Maybe hunger. I never really got to eat since it was all in my head. The pain running through my body never really went away. I guess pain isn't an emotion. Even though they always mentioned it was a good sign to feel pain. It meant you weren't totally gone. But I didn't cry. No. I laid there, let him do what he wanted, he came back twice. He had also started to grab things though. Like he was going to run.

Apparently he wasn't as ballsy as we all thought. He knew someone was coming for me and they were pissed. I would have loved to say something, but I still had my underwear shoved in my mouth. So I just laid there. The least he could do is cover me up, but he doesn't. He looks at me once last time before running. Leaving me here, just laying here.

I use my tongue to try and push my underwear from my mouth. Looking over to my phone. It had died. Apparently I hadn't charged it for a while since I left Mystic Falls. But Damon never hung up. He stayed on the line until the phone died. He listened to what had happened to me, over and over again. He quit speaking though. After he knew I had flipped the switch. He just went silent. I was kind of curious if he would be capable of bringing me back. Did I still love him?

The venom was wearing off finally. But I was so weak from not feeding. I tried to pull my hands free, but atlas I was stuck. So I just laid there.

A few hours passed. I couldn't find a clock to stare at, but I could see the sun behind the curtain. I wonder if Damon stopped looking for me. Maybe I'll disacate here. Forgotten until some worker comes in to find me.

But my thoughts were broken as the door slammed open. Damon Salvatore. His eyes are wide as he finds me laying there. Naked. Emotionless. Just laying there.

"Alexa-" He started, but quickly moved to cover me first, before untying the ropes from my wrist, not even making a sound as it burned him. I could feel the need to cry deep inside of me. The sorrow and pain of the events that happened creeping up and trying to get free. But I pushed it down, keeping it down as I just stared at the ceiling. Once I was untied I sat up, with some help from Damon. "Is it off?" He asked. I turned my head to him.

"What would you have done?" I asked in response. My voice was so empty, he cringed. He nodded. "Would you have preferred I didn't?" I pushed as I stood up, stumbling slightly as my legs were like jello.

"I'm going to find him, Alexa." Damon said, looking down at me as he stood in front of me, holding the blanket around me. "I'm going to kill him for doing this to you." I shrugged, not caring. What is done is done. I laid there, and took what I got. Did I deserve it? No. Kaiden always told me I don't deserve this. Whenever I woke up to my nightmares of Jack, Kaiden always told me I didn't deserve it. I believe him. "Let's get you home." Damon interrupted my thoughts. I went to walk out the door, the blanket wrapped tightly around me, but Damon stopped me. He bent down, scooping me up and cradling me to his chest. I let him.

As we walked out of the room, I noticed we were two doors down from my own room. It's kind of ironic this happened where I was staying. I wonder if I would have kept driving further, would this have happened? If I didn't try to find someone to feed from at a crowded place, would I have gone home alone? Would Damon have ever chased me? If this didn't happen...Would I be going back to Mystic Falls? If I would have just laid down for bed instead of going out to eat... I just laid there. But I would never know. Cause it did happen. And as Damon drove me back to Mystic Falls, my own humanity switch couldn't handle the pain of my thoughts. Snapping back into place, the first sob racked through my chest. Taking Damon by surprise.

"Ale-" Once he saw my shaking form, he pulled over on the side of the road, flashing to my side of the car. He pulled the door open and pulled me out, hugging me close to his body as the sobs just kept coming. My body shaking at the pain that went through it in waves. Flashes of the wolfs face over top of me. The screams of Damon on the phone. "Shhh, I've got you." Damon whispered, pushing his nose into my hair and breathing softly into it as his breath tickled my ear. His hand curled behind my head as he held it to his chest, pressing short kisses to my head.

A scream rang through me, crying out in pain. My breathing picking up quickly as I start to choke on the air I so desperately needed. Damon tightened his hold on me. So there we stood. A blanket I had clung to my naked body, on the side of the road, screaming and crying in pain as Damon held me close to him, soothing me the best he could. Thankfully, this road was a back road and no one came this way.
