Tempting Danger and An Offer One Can't Refuse

Chapter 8: No Escape

The first night with him, Elijah Mikealson was a disaster. I realized that there was no escaping him and that no matter how hard I tried to pull on the chains, and, to try and break them, and unlatch them from my wrists and my ankles. There was nothing, that I could do. Nothing. I tried to look around as I knew it was sunlight only because I could see light in the stained glass window. However, I couldn't see anything, or anyone, or the world outside. There was nothing, but blackness, on the glass, to block my eyes from seeing. What were his plans and his intentions with me? Really? Over a woman? A woman, whom I had no idea, who she was, nor anything about her? Elijah mentioned that Stefan and Damon might know where she was, and....the whole time though, they were warning me about Elijah, they were saying that he was a.....it suddenly came to me and I grew scared and in more fear than ever before, as I started trying to even harder break the chains and try to move, and fast. His face had changed, those eyes, they were black as night, and his....teeth, they were sharp, they turned into fangs, they were not teeth, they were at first, but....not anymore. He held me down, he forced me in the bed, and at first, I swear I thought he was going to kill me, to rape me, but he hadn't. I cried out loud and tried to break free even more as I cried and screamed. I kept screaming and rattling the chain hoping anyone could hear me, but I knew no one would come. Elijah had warned me about yelling, screaming, shouting, and making noise, but it was the only thing I possibly I had aside from hope that could get me the hell out of this attic. I didn't want to be here, for more than 1 day or 2, I had school, I had work. I would miss it all and everything, I would fall behind, but more importantly, my mother and brother would start to wonder where I was, and I knew they would report me missing. Praying was all I had and trying to plan an escape to look around the room to break these chains and anything I could use in this attic to aid me. But, there wasn't much up here, only bookcases, with books, a rug, a tub, a bathroom, with empty cabinets, but washcloths, towels, and soap. A desk in the corner, was plain everything up here. I looked around even more in hate at this attic, he must have planned this the whole time as I rocked myself and kept my brown eyes straight and to the left and the right of the walls and above. My only hope wasn't just my family, it was Stefan and Damon, I was sure they would come to rescue me, I prayed they would and find out that something was wrong, and why I wasn't at home, or not at school. They had to come and find me, didn't they? Wouldn't they? Or would they not care? Damon never really liked me, but had come around, but still was wicked and aggressive, no he wouldn't come, but Stefan, I know he would. "Please Stefan, please help me, God, please." I started sobbing and heaving from all the things that would happen to me if I was not found, and if Elijah changed again into that....... I closed my eyes and kept rocking myself.

It was then that I heard him again and his footsteps and I got scared and pretended that I was asleep and turning on my side. But, I heard his footsteps stop and he said, 

"Good morning Neryssa, I know, that you're awake and can hear your breathing, and that of your lungs, and those sweet veins." 

My eyes grew wide and in fear as I laid on the pillow on my side and moved my eyes, afraid of him saying that, hoping he wouldn't dare try to touch me again or lay a finger or hand on me. 

 "Trying, to fool me, are you?"

But, I wiped my face, and my eyes, from the tears. As I knew, he was looking at me, and my back was still to him.

"Neryssa, remember, what I told you, last night? The more you hate me, and the more you resent me and so ignore me. It will only leave you, in far  worse circumstances, than, what you already are in, and you will find yourself in darker places than you could ever imagine."
