The Return: Nightfall Chapter 26

Ley lines. Stefan had talked about them, and with the impact of the soul world still on her, she had seen them easily. Presently, as yet lying on her side, diverting what survived from that Power to her eyes, she took a gander at the earth. Furthermore, that was what caused her brain to go dim in dread. To the extent she could see there were lines combining here from all bearings. Thick lines that sparkled with a chilly brightness, medium-sized lines that had the dull sparkle of terrible mushrooms in a basement, and small lines that resembled completely straight splits of the external surface layer of the world. They resembled veins and supply routes and nerves simply under the skin of the clearing-mammoth. No big surprise it appeared to be alive. She was lying on a monstrous union of ley lines. What's more, if the graveyard was more terrible than this †she was unable to envision what it may resemble. In the event that Damon had by one way or another figured out how to take advantage of that Power†¦no wonder he appeared to be changed, pompous, undefeatable. Since the time he had discharged her to drink Matt's blood, she had continued shaking her head, attempting to shake off the mortification with it. Yet, presently at last she halted as she attempted to compute an approach to utilize this Power. There must be an approach to do it. The grayness wouldn't clear from her vision. At last Elena understood that it was not on the grounds that she was black out, but since it was getting dim †dusk outside the clearing, genuine dimness coming into it. She attempted again to lift herself up, and this time she succeeded. Very quickly a hand was stretched out to her and, naturally, she took it, letting it attract her to her feet. She confronted †whoever it was, Damon or whatever was utilizing his highlights or his body. Regardless of the nearly obscurity, he despite everything wore those wraparound shades. She could make nothing out of the remainder of his face. â€Å"Now,† the thing in the shades said. â€Å"You're going to accompany me.† It was approaching full dull, and they were in the clearing that was a monster. This spot †it was unwholesome. She feared the clearing as she had never been apprehensive about an individual or animal. It reverberated with vindictiveness, and she was unable to close her ears to it. She needed to continue thinking, and continue thinking straight, she thought. She was appallingly terrified for Matt; startled that Damon had taken an excessive amount of blood or had played excessively hard with his toy; breaking it. What's more, she feared this Damon thing. She was likewise stressed over the impact this spot may have had on the genuine Damon. The forested areas around them shouldn't have any impact on vampires, but to hurt them. Was the conceivable Damon inside the holder harmed? In the event that he could comprehend anything of what was going on, would he be able to recognize that harmed from his harmed and outrage at Stefan? She didn't have the foggiest idea. She knew that there had been a horrible look in his eyes when Stefan had advised him to escape the boardinghouse. What's more, she knew that there were animals in the woodland, malach, that could impact an individual's brain. She was apprehensive, profoundly apprehensive, that the malach were utilizing Damon currently, darkening his darkest wants and turning him into something terrible, something he had never been even at the very least. Yet, how might she be certain? How might she know whether there was something different behind the malach, something that controlledthem ? Her spirit was revealing to her this may be the situation, that Damon may be totally unaware of what his body was doing, however that may very well be unrealistic reasoning. Unquestionably everything she could detect around her were little, fiendish animals. She could feel them surrounding the clearing, weird creepy crawly like creatures like the one that had assaulted Matt. They were in a chaos of fervor, whipping their appendages around to make a commotion practically like a humming helicopter. Is it safe to say that they were affecting Damon now? Absolutely, he had at no other time harmed any of different people she knew the manner in which he had today. She needed to get every one of them three out of this spot. It was infected, polluted. By and by she felt a rush of aching for Stefan, who may comprehend what to do in this circumstance. She turned, gradually, to take a gander at Damon. â€Å"May I call somebody to come and help Matt? I'm reluctant to leave him here; I'm afraidthey'll get him.† Just also to tell him that she knewthey were covering up in the liverwort and the rhododendron and mountain holly shrubs all around. Damon dithered; he appeared to think about it. At that point he shook his head. â€Å"We wouldn't have any desire to give them an excessive number of pieces of information to where you are,† he said merrily. â€Å"It'll be a fascinating analysis to check whether the malach do get him †and how they do it.† â€Å"It wouldn't be a fascinating analysis forme .† Elena's voice was level. â€Å"Matt is my friend.† â€Å"Nevertheless, we'll leave him here for the time being. I don't confide in you †even to giveme a message to Meredith or Bonnie †to send on my phone.† Elena didn't utter a word. In actuality, he was correct not to confide in her, as she and Meredith and Bonnie had worked out an intricate code of innocuous sounding expressions when they realized that Damon was after Elena. A lifetime back for her †truly †however she could even now recollect them. Quietly, she essentially followed Damon to the Ferrari. She was answerable for Matt. â€Å"You're not setting up a lot of a contention this time, and I wonder what you're plotting.† â€Å"I'm plotting that we should continue ahead with it. On the off chance that you'll mention to me what  ¡Ã¢ ®it' is,† she stated, more courageously than she felt. â€Å"Well, presently what  ¡Ã¢ ®it' is, is up to you.† Damon gave Matt a kick in the ribs in passing. He was presently pacing around the clearing, which appeared to be littler than any time in recent memory, a circle which did exclude her. She took a couple of paces toward him †and slipped. She didn't have the foggiest idea how it occurred. Perhaps the goliath creature relaxed. Possibly it was only the smooth pine needles under her boots. Be that as it may, one second she was setting out toward Matt and the following her feet had gone free from her and she was setting out toward the ground with nothing to take hold of. And afterward, easily and unhurriedly, she was in Damon's arms. With hundreds of years of Virginian manners behind her she naturally stated, â€Å"Thank you.† â€Å"My pleasure.† Indeed, she thought. That is all it implies. It ishis delight, and that is the only thing that is in any way important. That was the point at which she saw that they were set out toward her Jaguar. â€Å"Oh, no, we don't,† she said. â€Å"Oh, indeed, we will †in the event that I please,† he said. â€Å"Unless you need to see your companion Matt endure like that once more. Sooner or later his heartwill give out.† â€Å"Damon.† She pushed out of his arms, remaining on her own feet. â€Å"I don't comprehend. This isn't care for you. Take what you need and go.† He simply continued taking a gander at her. â€Å"I was doing just that.† â€Å"You don't have to† †for the life of her, she was unable to keep a tremor out of her voice †â€Å"take me anyplace uncommon to take my blood. What's more, Matt won't know. He's out.† For a long second there was quiet in the clearing. Express quiet. The night feathered creatures and the crickets quit making their music. Abruptly Elena felt as though she were on a rush ride that plunged down, leaving her stomach organs still at the top. At that point Damon put it in words. â€Å"I wantyou . Exclusively.† Elena prepared herself, attempting to keep an unmistakable head notwithstanding the mist that appeared to be attacking it. â€Å"You realize that that is not possible.† â€Å"I realize that it was feasible for Stefan. At the point when you were with him, you didn't consider anything other than him. You were unable to see, couldn't hear, couldn't feel anything besides him.† Elena's gooseflesh presently secured her entire body. Talking cautiously around the obstacle in her throat, she stated, â€Å"Damon, did you plan something for Stefan?† â€Å"Now, for what reason would I need to accomplish something like that?† Exceptionally low, Elena stated, â€Å"You and I both know why.† â€Å"Do you mean,† Damon began talking calmly, however his voice developed progressively serious as he grasped her shoulders, â€Å"so that you would see nothing butme , hear nothing butme , consider nothing butme ?† Still discreetly, as yet controlling her dread, Elena stated, â€Å"Take off the shades, Damon.† Damon looked upwards and around as though to promise himself that no last beam of dusk could puncture the green-dark world that encompassed them. At that point with one hand, he peeled off the shades. Elena wound up investigating eyes that were so dark there appeared to be no contrast among iris and understudy. She†¦turned a switch in her cerebrum, accomplished something with the goal that every one of her faculties were tuned onto Damon's face, his appearance, the Power flowing through him. His eyes were still as dark as the profundities of an unexplored cavern. No red. Be that as it may, at that point, he'd had time, this chance to prepare for her. I accept what I saw previously, Elena thought. With myown eyes. â€Å"Damon, I'll do anything, anything you need. In any case, you need to reveal to me.Did you plan something for Stefan?† â€Å"Stefan was still high onyour blood when he left you,† he reminded her, and before she could address deny this †â€Å"and, to respond to your inquiry decisively, I don't have the foggiest idea where he is. On that, you have my assertion. Be that as it may, regardless, it's actual, what you were thinking earlier,† he included, as Elena attempted to step away, to escape the grasp he had on her upper arms. â€Å"I'mthe just one, Elena. The just a single you haven't prevailed. The just a single you can't control. Charming, isn't it?† Out of nowhere, notwithstanding her dread, she was irate. â€Å"Then why harmed Matt? He's only a companion. What's he have to do with it?† â€Å"Just a friend.† And Damon started to giggle the manner in which he had previously, frightfully. â€Å"Well, I knowhe didn't have anything to
