Shadows

6. CAPTIVE

Damon now had me captive all the doors are locked believe me I have tried all of them. The widows were practily glued.

I slumped on the chair in exauhstion. Damon walked in with a smirk on his face.

"What's wrong beautiful. Bored already?" He asked grabbing a glass and filling it with bourbon.

I refused to reply and looked away from him and ignored him. He sighed and said to me, "Really your gonna give me, Damon Salvatore, the silent treatment."

I still ignored him and closed my eyes. I felt myself being picked up. When I opened my eyes I was hanging upside down a story high. I look down to see the furniture and the tables. When I looked up I saw Damon holding me by one ankle. I had the erge to talk to him but I desided not to.

"I will bring you back over the edge if you talk to me," Damon said. I shook my head no and crossed my arms. Damon sighed and said, "I didn't want to have to do this but..."

Before I could register what he ment I felt him release my ankle and the next thing I know is that I'm falling.

I let out a bellowing scream and yelled, "Damon!"

I closed my eyes and a second later felt secure arms around me. I opened my eyes to see Damon smirking at me. I felt my eyes water. I was afraid of heights. I had this one encounter with Carter... I fell tfifteen feet. I broke my arm and two ribs due to landing on rocks.

Damon put me down the smirk slipping slowly away when he relized he had upset me. I tugged myself free from his hold and walked out of the room to the library. I sat by the window and gazed at the wild flowers and trees.

I felt someone standing behind me and said, "I'm fine. Just never been a real fan of heights."

I knew it was Damon. HE asked me, "Whys that?"

I sighed and said, "Six months after my parents death me and my friend Carter went on a hike. He told me it would help clear my mind and he was right. We were half way to the tallest hillin our area it's about thirty feet. I slipped and plumted fifteen. I broke my arm and two ribs. Carter was by my side the whole time while we waited for the EMT's to come. Carter took care of me. He was the only one I let in besides Elena. HE reminded of me of her."

"Wait whos Carter?" he asked sitting next to me. The windows were tinted or so he has told me.

"He WAS a very close friend from my old school. He died of an animal attack two days ago," I said tearing up again.

"Jade I'm so sorry but its better to move on than to wallow in sadness, " He said whipping away and escaped tear. I noded and before I knew it we were moving closer together. I hopped up instantly and said, "I uh need to go uh to the bathroom yes the bathroom."

I ran out of the room up the stairs and when I found it I ran into the bathroom and locked the door. I checked my pockets and found my phone. I pulled it out and sighed with relief that I still got signal. I dialed Stefans number.

He didn't pick up til the fourth ring.

"Hello"

"Stefan-"

"Jade where are you I saw you run after Caroline but you never came back."

"Stefan I'm at the boarding house. Stefan Damon he got out. He killed Zack... Stefan Im scared," I sniffled into the phone. I heard a crack and before I knew it Damon was in the bathroom and holding my phone.

"Hello Brother" Damon said into the phone giving me a damon glare. I ran out of the bathroom and down the hallway I hid in a room and locked the door slidding under the bed quickly.
