The Unveiling Truth [TVD FanFiction]

Fool Me Once

Elena's POV

I woke up with this throbbing pain in my head when it finally clicked to me that I was kidnapped last night. I start to panic when I spot a guy sleeping in a chair in front of me. I recognise him, he's Ben, the one Bonnie's been talking about. The curtains were closed so I could only assume he's a vampire. That makes him even more dangerous. I have to get out of here.

I look over to the bed beside me and saw Laura sleeping in it soundly. I hopped out of my bed and went over to wake her up. "Laura!" I whispered harshly but was careful not to wake the guy up.

Laura started groaning as she woke. "Mm, Elena, where are we?"

I shushed her to be quiet and point over my shoulder to Ben and she finally caught onto what was happening. I pointed towards the door and she nodded to get the idea, we had to get out of there safely without waking him up.

We held onto each other and slowly walked towards the door being very careful not to make a sound. The door was locked so I carefully tried to unlock the door while Laura keep watch for me. I slowly slide the chain across before moving down to unlock the deadbolt.

"I wouldn't."

I was startled by his voice and turned back to see Ben holding Laura on a chokehold. She was terrified and didn't dare to move.

"No, don't hurt her!" I told him.

He pushed Laura aside and came towards me, he looked into my eyes and tried to compel me. "Don't try to escape. Don't even move. Do you understand?" He said.

His compulsion didn't work because I was on vervain but I can't let him know that. I just have to pretend I'm compelled. "I understand." I said in a monotone.

Ben scoffed with a proud laugh and turned his back to me. As soon as he turned his back on us I grabbed Laura and bolted out the door when a girl appeared. She blocked us from making our escaped and shoved us back into the room.

"Seriously!" She yelled at him. "I told her not to move! I did that eye thing you taught me!" Ben explained to her. "And forgot about the vervain lesson! She dates a vampire. Ben. Duh!" She scold him.

As he explained his failed attempt she pushed Laura into the bathroom while I struggle to get out of her grip. She's strong for someone who's smaller than me. "Who are you? What do you want?" I asked.

"Doesn't matter." She ignored and pushed me into the room.

We were locked in the small bathroom so I switched on the lights and calmly look around to find another exit. "She's the girl who been stalking Jeremy." Laura told me and I looked at her wide eyes.

"She's Anna?" I asked and she nodded.

I let out another sigh of frustration. "Wha-what does she want with us? And what does it have to do with Jeremy?" I asked all these questions that neither of us could answer.

"Oh my god." Laura stared shocked at something behind me. I turned around and found someone lying in the bathtub. Bonnie!

"Bonnie?" I gasped.

I rush over to her and lift her head up placing my fingers on her neck to check her pulse. It was still beating. "Oh my god."

Stefan's POV

I spent the whole night searching for the twins but I had no idea where Anna could have taken them. I called Damon several times for him to help me find them but he wouldn't answer any of my calls. So I hurried back home to find him reading through Emily's grimoire in the library.
