Sneak Peek of Chapter 8- TOL

Chapter 8 of The Obscure Line is nearly complete, but after I finally finish it, it will need to be sent to beta and all that jazz. So, I figured I'd give you guys a little sneak peek of it. Enjoy!

“Elena, what the hell are you doing?” I heard from above me and I closed my eyes tightly. Breathing was starting to get harder and harder. The pressure on my back was suddenly gone and two strong arms yanked me up and slammed me roughly into another tree.
I gasped for air and looked into Damon’s eyes. I could instantly tell he was furious. “Do you not understand that everything I do is to protect you?!” he growled. It didn’t go unnoticed how he said “I” instead of “we.” He slammed his fist into the large tree behind me and I watched as splintered bark fell in front of me.
“I just want to go home,” I whispered.
“You can’t!” he yelled, bringing his face closer to mine. “You can not go home, Elena! I don’t know what Katherine is planning and she will kill you if she decides to!”
“Maybe I want to die!” I shouted back. “Maybe I’m so sick of all of you and all of this that I would prefer death!”
His eyes were soft for a split second. “You wouldn’t want that, Elena. Trust me.”
I narrowed my eyes and placed my hands on his chest and pushed, just like I had done when we were at my apartment. “Just let me go, Damon.”
Quickly, Damon grabbed both of my wrists in one of his hands and he lifted them above my head. He stepped forward so that his body was pressed against mine and a new fire took over his eyes. “How many times do I have to say no before you realize I’m not going anywhere.”
