When Elena had broken up with James moved far away, moved to a small beach town in California. She needed to get away from all the drama and chaos in her life. She had gotten an apartment and lived alone, she was happy. She had gotten a job at a local restaurant and making friends with the other employees and customers. No one knew about her past, she made sure of that. Soon Elena found a guy, his name was Alex, he was sweet and funny. Soon he was spending most nights at her place. They even got a dog together. If anyone from her past , especially James, saw her now they wouldn't believe it was the same Elena Gilbert.
Elena was on a trip to New York for a school trip. She was out one night walking home from a bar by herself. The city was familiar and was like visiting an old friend. She sighed looking at her phone replying to Alex's text a small smile on her face. She was going to call him when she got back to her apartment. Elena was turning on an alley way taking a short cut when she felt someone grabbing her. Elena turned around in fight mode then froze seeing James staring down at her. " James!" She said in shock. Then the world went black.
Elena woke up feeling like she had been hit by a bus. Her stomach felt sick and her head was pounding. She moaned softly then realized something... a ball gag, she thought, was in her mouth. She frowned opening her eyes seeing a familiar room. It was a basement, James's basement. He had never really gone down here, that's were he and his friends did their business. Elena tried to keep calm trying to keep her body steady and calm. She looked around her eyes landing on a black pair of dress shoes. She looked up to the face seeing James staring down at her. Elena frowned moving away from him terror running through her body. @rptourage
