The nice older man lead lana out of her room and down the stairs... as she walked lana's head was hung low... her heart racing like crazy in her chest because she knew she would be seeing hi again... the crazy man who almost killed her... was he finally going to kill her this time... she wish she could simply ran away but she knew that it would be of no use... all she could do was behind the older man he finally stopped walking and she stopped walking too... she slowly raised her head to see where he had Brought her and lana's jaw almost dropped...
She was standing at the entrance of the biggest dinning room she had ever seen in her life... there was an expensive looking chandelier standing in the middle of the room and the massiveness of the room wasn't what caught her attention, but it was the feast that was on the table and the persons who was seated at the head of the table... it was him... John turned to look at lana and smiled at her Warmly as he walked further into the room...
Lana hesitantly followed after him and fisted her hand as he drew out a chair for her just two seats away from him... "Have a seat..." He said softly to lana, whose hand started to tremble in fear... she slowly took a seat, hoping if she was quiet enough he wouldn't notice her...
But even though she hadn't made a noise he looked up at her as soon as she sat down and she swallowed in fear... John was fast in serving her meal, but lana stood there unmoving...
"Why aren't you eating... eat..." His deep voice resonated across the room and she flinched... but she still didn't start eating which made him scoff...
"Do you think I poisoned it? I wouldn't let you die so easily... I would be so quick don't you think..." He said and dropped his fork harshly on the table causing lana to flinch... why was he taking it upon himself to frighten her so much... didn't he have a conscience... if he had a problem with her father then he should have taken it up with the police and not mentally torture her like this... she was so hungry that she almost cried... how could she eat when he was acting this way... was he out of his mind...
"eat" he said in a firm voice once again and out of fear lana found herself leaning out of pick up the cutlery... she picked it up and turned to look at him... he was staring intently at her and waiting... waiting for her to start eating... the entire room was completely silent and all she could hear was her raging her in her ear... it was pounding so fast in her heart and even though she had told herself to be tough it was easier said than done... she brought it to the plate ans started to cut through the mouth watering stake that was on her plate... the aroma coming from the food made her swallow... but she was still hesitant to eat...
John who was standing a distance from them almost sighed deeply, but he couldn't say a word... he could tell she was scare because of how damon was staring intently at her... he wanted to tell Damon to leave the poor girl alone and let her eat in peace but all he could do was stand their in silence... he could only watch as she hesitantly started to bring the stake to her mouth and then she took a bite... their was a pause when she did ...
Lana froze when she took a bite of the stake... she started to chew and the food immediately melted in her mouth... it was delicious... delicious was an understatement of how it tasted... she immediately started to cut through the stake quickly and brought another piece to her mouth and it was just as tasty... she didn't care of it was poisoned or not anymore at that moment and even though it was at least she wasn't going to die without tasting such a delicacy... Damon's expression softened as he watched her...
He couldn't say or do anything... how could he be mad as he watched her... he could tell that she had been very hungry because of how fast she was eating and he felt another pang of guilty in his chest... he knew he was an horrible person he couldn't deny that fact... the least he could let her do was eat in peace... as she ate he waited... he didn't have an appetite anymore and sat their watching her... Lana didn't even care that he was staring at her anymore...
She was eating at this crazy man's table but wanted more... her eyes travelled to the mashed potatoes on her plate that was almost gone... she wanted more... like he could read her mind... John who was standing at a distance walked up to the table and lana watched in silence as the nice man from earlier helped her fill her plate with more stakes and mashed potatoes... "Thank you..." She said in a low voice as she continued to eat.... she didn't dare to look at him even though she was aware that he was staring at her... she was afraid that if she looked at him she wouldn't be able to eat anymore... who knew when next she would have such a meal... maybe in her next life, she wondered... that was if the food was poisoned... she continued to eat quickly so she would be done by the time the poison took effect and it would be time for her to die because she knew even though he had the antidote for the poison he wouldn't give it to her... he had almost killed her earlier...
When lana was finally done eating and anticipating for the poison, she picked up the glass of water beside her plate and started to drink from it and that was the perfect time Damon thought it would be right for him to speak after not speaking the entire time...
"You have to live here from now on..." Damon blurted out lana almost choked on the water she was drinking... it literally almost passed through her nose and John rushed over to pass her some wipes... and take the glass from her hand..."what!" She exclaimed... her eyes wide in complete shocked... she was convinced now... he was totally out of his mind ... did she mishear him!
