Elena was scared and confused. Why had Stefan let hr go? He never seemed as if he would release her from his grip. In fact, she had been convinced she was going to die last night. But she had been pushed past her limits when she found out that Katherine had turned Caroline into a vampire. She had lost it. She hadn't cared that he would punish her for speaking ill of Katherine. The rape had been brutal, he had tore into her throat over and over again. She truly thought she was going to die.
And then he let her go. She had woken up to him giving her his blood to heal her, feeding her and then telling her to leave. She had tried to question why he was finally letting her go...and he had screamed at her to get out. So she had. She was free.
It would be...awkward, scary even to go see the nice Stefan, but she owed him her freedom, and she truly believed he would not hurt her. So she timidly walked up to Apartment 110 and knocked on the door.
