Author's Note: I thought this was a great story idea and wanted to share it! Everyone that is human in this story is unaware of vampires unless told otherwise. It is a pretty explicit and dark story, so please be aware of the M rating. I hope you enjoy...please R&R!

Everyone always believes they are invincible, somehow. Is there a person who believes 'I am going to be kidnapped today?' or 'Maybe I won't come home tonight'. No one does and it's no surprise that Elena Gilbert agreed with that notion. Recently graduating from college was a huge milestone in her life and it felt like nothing could possibly get in her way. She had the life every girl dreamt of. It was filled with a loving family, supportive friends, and a bright future. It's amazing that everything can be lost in seconds and Elena had never felt such a thing until the night she felt most vulnerable.

"Come on Elena. We just graduated from college. We should celebrate at the bar!" shouted Bonnie from the bathroom.

"No, I would not enjoy ruining it with one night of fun." Elena retorted as she changed out of her graduation gown.

"Elena, please don't make me go alone! I really need you. I promise nothing will happen," Bonnie responded as she desperately pleaded with her friend. She combed her hair and finished her makeup as she exited the bathroom.

"You promise?" Elena asked quietly, still unsure.

"Yes! Now put on something cute. We are leaving in ten." Bonnie shouted excitedly as she ran from the room.

Elena quickly put on her cute new heels and purple cocktail dress as she heard Bonnie pulling the car around in the driveway. Her hands were already trembling at how tonight could go. Who would she call if they got arrested or drunk or even assaulted? As the fears gathered in her mind, she quickly pinched her arm to stop herself from overthinking. With that, she ran downstairs to the car waiting out front and hopped in.

They arrived within minutes, but had trouble getting a parking spot as always. It was a popular bar in town, and everyone knew to get their early to guarantee a good spot, but Bonnie believed being fashionably late was a much better method. After securing a spot down the road, the girls entered the bar, finding two open seats.

"Oh. my. Gosh. Elena, is that Matt Donovan over there? I haven't seen him in forever. I will be right back." Bonnie shouted over the music before running over to the blonde boy across the bar.

Elena just sat and enjoyed the bowl of peanuts before her. She didn't mind being alone as long as she had a ride home from Bonnie. Almost an hour passed and Bonnie was still preoccupied with her long lost friend. Elena was on her second drink when the man sitting next to her began to talk.

"Hello! I overheard your friend talking over there earlier. She said you both graduated from nursing school? Not to be nosy, but my friend just graduated from there also. What kind of nurse did you study to be?," The man asked. It was hard to see in the dark bar, but Elena was able to make out his leather jacket, black hair and shocking blue eyes that stared deep into her.

"I...uh... phlebotomy." She responded nervously, playing with the straw of her cocktail.

"Ah...you draw blood? I always found it an interesting job." The man retorted as he sipped his drink.

"Are you one, too?" Elena mumbled nervously.

"I had the potential, but you know what it's like being young. I was reckless and could care less about college at the time," He smiled as he stared at his glass.

"Are you from around here? I don't recognize you" Elena almost whispered.

"Nope," He popped the 'p' as he continued "Just visiting family. I work alot, so I don't see them often," He finished as he snapped his fingers at the bartender.

"What's your job?" Elena asked, actually curious.

"I'm not sure if you would want to know," He chuckled as he grabbed at his glass.

"What do you mean?" She shuddered at the thought.

"You sure ask a lot of questions, little missy. I like a feisty girl!" He laughed.

He turned to her, smirking in a way that made Elena's stomach turn. She immediately got up from the bar.

"I have to go to the bathroom. I'll be right back. S-sorry...," she nervously spoke as she turned toward the bathroom, almost running.

She took a deep breath as she closed the door behind her. Under the water, she ran her hands and took deep breaths. She didn't know why she had gotten so scared. He seemed nice and she had probably left a bad impression after that. She was being ridiculous. From what she had seen, he was very good looking. He was just simply interested and she had run away like a scared puppy.

She slowly closed her eyes as she dried her hands with a paper towel. When she opened them, she saw a man behind her in the mirror as she let out a long shriek. He had her in a headlock and he leaned down to her ear.

"Stop screaming," He hissed as she began clawing at him in desperation.

She felt the adrenaline as she thrashed her body against him, frantically trying to get away. She even bit his arm like a piece of steak as he slapped her face away.

"I told you I like them feisty," He laughed, Elena finally feeling him put a rag over her mouth as she continued to struggle in his arms. Moments later, she felt her body go limp as the darkness surrounded her, a crooked smile appearing on her captor's lips, her screams finally perished.
