Chapter 117- Kidnapped

Zarah's pov

 

I expected that the car ride would be safe. An easy journey. With his tiny hands clutching my arm Elliot sat next to me and bounced enthusiastically. 

 

Excitement glistened in his wide blue eyes. "Do you think Uncle Damon will like me?" He asked.

 

Despite the shiver of uneasiness running up my spine I forced a smile. 

 

"Yes, of course, baby."

 

Elliot was so excited, I hadn't seen him this excited before.

 

We took the train first then a bus before we took a taxi and the ride seemed like forever.

 

The car was filled with an odd tension. I told myself that I was simply thinking too much. 

 

Perhaps my anxiety was simply related to seeing Damon after all these years. However, I had a gut feeling that something was off.

 

 

The car jerked to a stop after that. Instinctively I seized Elliot and held him tight. Mom hardly responded.
