Damon waited until he was sure she was fast asleep to move. He climbed out of the bed and silently slipped on his clothes.
He winced when the floorboards creaked beneath his weight, letting out a sigh of relief when she didn't move. He twisted the doorknob, getting out of the room as quickly as he could.
The eldest Salvatore walked briskly down the hallway towards his room. He swung the door open and rushed to the drawer where he shoved all his clothes into his duffel bag.
He hoisted the bag on his shoulder and headed towards the door. Damon closed the old mahogany door behind him, letting out a loud gasp when he collided with another body.
"Going so soon?" Her accented voice called out, a hand resting on her hip.
"I have to get out before it's too late. Surely you of all people understand that."
"I do," Penelope nodded. "Which is why I'm going to give you a head start."
"Why would I need a head start?" Damon's eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"Because I can't let you leave," she shook her head. "Now run. Run!"
He let his bag fall to the ground, knowing it would only slow him down as he ran as fast as he could through the corridors of the hotel.
