"Oh, 'we' did, did we?"
"Yes. You got it away from her. You did it for me." The fingers of her free hand
crept under his jacket, searching for the square-cornered hardness of the little book.
"Because you love me," she said, finding it and scratching at it lightly. "You do love
me, don't you?"
There was a faint sound from the center of the clearing. Elena looked and saw that
Stefan had turned his face away.
"Elena. What happened next?" Damon's voice called her back.
"Next? Next Aunt Judith started arguing with me." Elena pondered this a moment
and at last shrugged."OverтАж something. I got angry. She's not my mother. She can't
tell me what to do."
Damon's voice was dry. "I don't think that's going to be a problem anymore.
What next?"
Elena sighed heavily. "Next I went and got Matt's car. Matt." She said the name
reflectively, flicking her tongue over her canine teeth. In her mind's eye, she saw a
handsome face, blond hair, sturdy shoulders. "Matt."
 "And where did you go in Matt's car?"
"ToWickeryBridge ," Stefan said, turning back toward them. His eyes were
desolate.
"No, to the boardinghouse," Elena corrected, irritated. "To wait forтАж mmтАж I
forget. Anyway, I waited there. ThenтАж then the storm started.Wind, rain, all that. I
didn't like it. I got in the car. But something came after me."
"Someone came after you," said Stefan, looking at Damon.
"Something ," Elena insisted. She had had enough of his interruptions. "Let's go
away somewhere, just us," she said to Damon, kneeling up so that her face was
close to his.
"In a minute," he said. "What kind of thing came after you?"
She settled back, exasperated. "I don't know what kind of thing! It was like
nothing I've ever seen. Not like you and Stefan. It wasтАж" Images rippled through
her mind. Mist flowing along the ground.The wind shrieking. A shape, white,
enormous, looking as if it were made out ofmist itself. Gaining on her like a
wind-driven cloud.
"Maybe it was just part of the storm," she said. "But I thought it wanted to hurt
me. I got away though." Fiddling with the zipper to Damon's leather jacket, she
smiled secretly and looked up at him through her lashes.
For the first time, Damon's face showed emotion. His lips twisted in a grimace.
"You got away."
"Yes. I remembered whatтАж someoneтАж told me about running water. Evil things
can't cross it. So I drove toward Drowning Creek, toward the bridge. And thenтАж"
She hesitated, frowning, trying to find a solid memory in the new confusion.Water.
She remembered water. And someonescreaming.But nothing else. "And then I
crossed it," she concluded finally, brightly. "I must have, because here I am. And
that's all. Can we go now?"
Damon didn't answer her.
"Thecar's still in the river," said Stefan. He and Damon were looking at each other
like two adults having a discussion over the head of an uncomprehending child, their
hostilities suspended for the moment. Elena felt a surge of annoyance. She opened
her mouth, but Stefan was continuing. "Bonnie and Meredith and I found it. I went
underwater and got her, but by thenтАж"
By then, what?Elena frowned.
