Sophia's POV                     Word count:1444
The next couple of days went by the same,Me and Bonnie would work on finding how to get out of, whatever this place is. Damon would be Damon, drinking bourbon and suggesting things time to time.

As Me and Bonnie were reading some Grimoire's, including Grams,I saw the newspaper and decided why not read it. I got up and grabbed it and placed it in my hands.

"Sophia what are you doing?" Bonnie asked. I turned to look at her, "Oh I came to read the newspaper to see if it could help in some sort of way." Bonnie nodded and continued reading spells.

I sat down on one of the small sofas in the boarding house and had the newspaper in my face. As I was reading it I saw the date.

May 10,1994

That explains Elena's not so burnt to the ground house I saw the other day.

"Oh my god" I got up and went to show Bonnie and Damon, who were sitting at the table. I showed them the date. " hmph" Damon snatched it and looked then showed Bonnie. Bonnie looked at it, "Rear solar eclipse expected to be seen...."

Damon rolled his eyes and said, " The date Bonnie". Bonnie looked at Damon then the newspaper "May 10, 1994? What? How?That's impossible"

I grabbed the newspaper, "That explains why the other day, I saw Elena's house looking brand new"

Both Bonnie and Damon's attention locked on me. "You what?!" They said at the same time.

"I was walking and saw Elena's house. The day I went out for a walk?" I looked at them. Then Bonnie spoke up, " When did you go for a walk?"

I rolled my eyes in annoyance, "Remember when Damon spilled my coffee all over me and I was furious that I 'motused' him out the window?" I said while slightly laughing.

" Oh yeah, I remember. That was funny" she said joining in on my laughter. "Anyway I took a walk around and saw Elena's house then vamp speeded here to tell you but you both were asleep so then I decided to tell you the next day but I forgot. Until now"

They both looked at me unsuprised. "Ok well then. Me and Bon Bon are going to Elena's to check some things out so, don't burn my house down."

" Ok bye.Have a nice time?" Then they walked out. I sat back at the couch and continued reading the newspaper.

Family massacred in Portland. The only one missing was the oldest ,Malachai Parker

I put my hand over my mouth and thought of how cruel people could be.

I opened my eyes and realized I fell asleep. I hate how that happens. Why can't I be like the Cullen's. Well, I'm hungry. I went to the kitchen and found nothing appealing, so I just decided to read a book. There are a bunch of books, probably Stefan's but I seriously don't want to read. I'll just go to bed.

Four months later

Me ,Damon, and Bonnie were walking towards a market to buy some food since there was literally nothing but ice in the fridge/freezer.

On our way there, Bonnie was rambling on and on how Grams must of put us here, that there might be someone else here and there's still hope.

Honestly I lost my hope about a month ago and so did Damon. " Bonnie you don't know if someone is still here or not." I said looking at her clearly annoyed. "There's a good possibility though. If neither of you filled in the crossword puzzle, then what else could it have been?"

As we were walking in the store, I grabbed some sun glasses and put them on and so did Bonnie and Damon. We turned the corner then Bonnie spoke out of no where, "Pork rinds". I looked at her, "what now?" Damon gave a confused look and pulled out the list.
"Not on the list and eww"

"No there were pork rinds on here" she pointed to the racks and continued, " Every time for the 4 months we came here, there were pork rinds" Me and Damon shared a glance at each other, obviously confused.

" There has to be somebody here! First the crossword puzzle, and now this!"

Damon spoke up and said, " How do we know it wasn't you who filled it in?" I crossed my arms waiting for her answer but was distracted by a noise, like one of those creepy ice cream trucks except it was from the mini carousel at the market.

We all ran out and Bonnie pointed her hands to it, "You see guys, this is what hope sounds like." She said looking at us with a huge grin.

Damon had opened the machinery and looked around, "There must be some false wiring or something." Then I suggested, "Check the first three wires, usually those are the main ones, then we'll see what's wrong" I said pointing in the box.

"Or maybe someone just put a quarter in?" Bonnie suggested sarcastically,then said "Alright let's play a game, what is the first thing you are going to tell  Elena when we get out of here?" I rolled my eyes at the thought of Elena but then laughed when Damon answered with, "Sorry for killing Bonnie, she was the most annoying person in the world."

" I wouldn't say that Damon, she was the most useless one" I said but winked at Bonnie letting her know I was joking. " Yup, annoying and useless."

"Damon" I turned to look at Bonnie in confusion and my jaw dropped. " Oh what now?" Damon said obviously oblivious to the most precious thing to him besides... Elena.

" Oh I don't know, you still think I'm useless?" Damon turned around to see his car and he squealed like a little girl.

"Oh Jesus" I have to admit, Damon's obsession over his car is a little funny.He started making wierd car noises and I started laughing at his stupidness. "How much longer are we gonna lis-." Bonnie started but stopped Damon started shushing her.

"The sound is the opposite sound of your voice and I so enjoy it" he smiled at her. Me and damon were laughing, but stopped when we saw something move around,near a truck.

Me Bonnie and Damon ran towards it. We saw no one, "Was it in the front or the back?" I asked and both Bonnie and Damon replied differently at the same time.

"No Bonnie I'm pretty sure it was in the front." But he stopped talking and i stopped listening when we saw a tarp moving in the wind right were we came. "UUGh" i yelled out of frustration and hit the car. Leaving a huge dent. We then spun around hearing the music again.

"And that-that is on a timer. That turned on by itself" Damon said. I bit my bottom lip from yelling and doing something I'd regret.

Bonnie starts talking, " But what about-."
"No Bonnie there are no Buts" I semi yelled and then Damon finished my sentence. "We are never getting out"

Bonnie then stared at us blankly, " Give me your ring. Both of you." She demanded. Me and Damon coincidently said "What" at the same time with the same tone.

When we didn't listen, Bonnie tried grabbing Damon's ring from his hand but he pushed her back. " Give me your ring. All I've heard you say is you have no hope" she looked between both of us. Then her voice raised " That there is no way out. So if you have no hope then why don't you just end it"

I looked at her blankly and simply said, "ok"
I put my hand through my chest and pulled out my heart.

Damons POV

I saw Sophia's heart fall to the floor as did my knees. My eyes got glossy and then I yelled at Bonnie.

" You see Bonnie! This is what happens when you open that stupid big mouth of yours!"

But then I softened at the broken expression on Bonnie's face. I looked away from Bonnie, stood up and left back into the store. I went to grab a bourbon when I heard a very annoying crunching sound. I turned to look behind some patio furniture to see a guy sitting there as if it's a normal day. "Rough day huh Damon." I looked at him and growled, "Who are you?"

"Oh! Manners, I'm kai" he says while putting a pork rind in his mouth and continuing, " Pork rind?" I just stood there looking at him. confused as hell.
