Stefan and Delena: Origin

{22} The Woods

Elena's P.O.V

I was in my room writing in my diary when Caroline managed to answer my millions of calls back in return of her millions of calls.

"Hey Elena! I'm so sorry I haven't replied! I was talking to Stefan and my phone died. I'ts fine now, obviously. So basically I'm at the Grill with Stefan Tyler and Matt while he has his free shift, want to join? It's about Bonnie's birthday plans. Nothing big I know. Trust me, it's a Bonnie appropriate surprise. She doesn't like them, yeah yeah yeah. Well, she'll like this one! Oops! I gotta go! See you in a bit!" Caroline squeaked and hung up. So she didn't even bother to let me talk..? Fair enough. I changed out of my pyjamas and dragged a comb through my long hair, tying it up behind my head in a ponytail. I ran downstairs as fast as my little human powerless legs could carry me and stuck my sneakers on my feet. I could already picture Caroline's face at what I was wearing, basic navy jeans, red top, black sneakers. Caroline was one of those girls that dressed posh when she was going bowling. Yet at the same time, she was still bubbly little Caroline. She was just bubbly Caroline with an attitude for perfection.

I closed the door behind me after yelling bye to Ric and Jeremy (even though he wasn't there). I half-ran half-walked down the path to the Grill. On my way I spotted a few more people I knew, Mister Johnson from a few doors down, little Darcey Matthews who just joined freshman year at school and Jack. Jack was walking about 10 metres in front of me, I was about to yell his name but before I could he took a turning towards the woods. I know it was wrong to invade his  privacy, but I decided to follow him. Caroline was starting to grow on me, I was being nosey...

He walked down, deep into the woods. He was going so deep that I thought several times maybe I should turn back. I quickly put my phone on silent thinking Caroline might call me any second. I hid behind a few trees, scared he would turn around. I continued to follow him for a little bit longer. After a few more minutes Jack stopped still. Was he waiting for someone? I started to panic, so Jack had a friend too. Alike Klaus and Katherine.

Then I saw them both, Klaus and Katherine, together,only a few metres away from each other. What was going on? 

"Jack, you're doing well with our plan. Hopefully it should be seen through to the end within a week." Klaus said, his voice as husky and British ever.

Wait, what? What plan?

"Actually. I have it all sorted out for tonights Wonderland dance." Jack admitted, smirking at his excellent arrangements.

"Even better. We will leave it at this. Tonight I'll meet you at the 'place' when you have Elena." Klaus replied. That was it. I panicked and turned around, silently running. I looked back to see if they'd noticed me, which they hadn't. Surprisingly. I whipped my head back round and ran into someone. I felt the fabric my hands were clung to, leather. My eyes opened, black leather, I looked up. It was Damon.

"What are you doing?!" He whispered. "If they saw you, you would be dead!"

"I didn't know they were planning to catch me or something!" I whispered back.

"We need to get out of here now, I'll take you home. We can talk." 

"I'm meeting Caroline at the Grill."

"Not anymore you're not. Hop on." Damon gestured towards his back. I obeyed and hopped on, he vampire sped through the woods. As soon as we were out of them, we got in his car a went back to my house.

This was going to be interesting...
