Damon and Bella's thoughts in this chapter

See you at the bottom:)

"It's a pretty frantic world that we live in."
-Mary Chapin Carpenter

Not Again…

When I wake up I'm groggy, confused, and three types of pissed off. Oh and I'm in pain. A whole hell lot of pain.

I had been going to talk to Carolina when it happened. It wasn't much. Just a sharp pain to my head and then blackness. Blackness that had become all too familiar since I had came to Mystic Falls. Then, like always, I woke up in a place I didn't know. And surprise, my hands are knotted behind my back.

I've been kidnapped.

Again.

I moan and look at my surroundings. It's dark, but I can make out the cement walls and pavement flooring. There's three support beams, but that is it. No tables. No sofas. No décor. Just darkness and cold medal.

"Ahh you're up." I hear a voice say to my right. I try to look, but it's too dark. I can't see. "I was wondering if I hit you too hard. Thought you might be dead. The boss man wouldn't be happy if that happened."

"Who are you?" I ask

"A very very old friend of Damon Salvatore."

Fuck.

Vampire.

"If you're a friend of Damon, why am I tied up?"

"Because Damon pissed us off."

When doesn't Damon piss someone off? It was a character flaw of his. But I still loved him for it. Well—except when it got me kidnapped.

"So what's your plan?" It actually scares me how calm I am right now. I'm getting way to use to being in danger. I don't think it's healthy.

"And why would I tell you?" The vamp asks.

"Because you're a nice….vampire?"

"Sweetheart I hit you over the head, tied you up, and brought you to a basement. That doesn't exactly say nice."

I sigh. This conversation was getting us nowhere.

I moan again. The pounding in my head was making it hard to stay awake. Even harder to push for information. I hate to be weak. Especially right now. But my head hurts to damn much too even care. So instead, I shut my mouth and stay quiet.

And I wait.

I wait for Damon to come and save me…again.

Damon's Thoughts

Frantic doesn't even begin to describe what state I'm in. My dead heart is pounding in my chest. My eyes searching frantically for Bella. My ears listening for her musical voice.

I can't lose her.

I won't lose her.

And no god damn vampires were going to stop me from getting to her. Nothing was going to stop me.

Ever since snapping the first vampire's neck I haven't found another. Either they were smart and staying away from me. Or there were less of them then I thought. Honestly, I didn't care which one it was. They were all going to die either way.

I keep on searching. Running frantically around the town square searching for my Bella. I just can't…

A loud ringing noise reaches out into the air. It hurts. It hurts so fucking bad. I grab my head and fall to the ground in pain.

I hear screaming.

I think it's me.

But I don't have time to think about it for long. Because there's blackness surrounding me. Covering me.

Then. Then all there is is blackness.

My last thought before it takes over is that I have failed. I have failed my Bella, my Just-a-Girl. And that hurts me more than the ringing in my head.

DUN DUN DUN!

So in case you don't understand what just happened, the device just went off. And now all the vamps are down….Including the vamp guarding Bella.

Sorry for the delay on this one. Completely and utterly all my fault. But I hope you enjoyed the chapter. I promise the next chapter will be up tomorrow:)

Keep up all your lovely reviews. They mean the world to me!
