Notes; Beautiful Darkness is the first collaboration piece of Fan Fiction from FallingToDarkness (Lisa) and DanielleLPattz (Danielle), we are avid Role Players and have been writing together for over a year.
We know that Meredith and Damon isn't your typical ship, but we ask you to give it a chance :)
We are working with the shows idea of the characters, not the books.
Meredith's point of view will be written by the wonderful Lisa, while I (Danielle) shall be taking control of Damon's point of view.
Anyway... enough from us... Go Read!

PROLOGUE - DPOV
Have you ever had an itch that no matter how much you scratch it just won't go away? How frustrating it can be. Imagine that. Now multiple it by a million and envision the irritation is over every single last inch of your body, coursing through your every vein. You can't imagine it, can you? No, because you think it's probably impossible, but it's not. It is only a fraction of what my body and mind was now undertaking. Speaking of my mind, I thought it was doing to explode. Everything was so loud. It was frying with every millisecond that past - as was my breathing. My heart, lungs, everything felt as if it was shrivelling up inside into nothing. The dark shadow of the monster lying deep inside of me was screaming to make it stop - to take away the pain, the hunger. Oh god the hunger.
"You can feel it can't you, brother? The burn, the desire, hunger… Need. Why fight it? It's what you're desperate for; a second of pain in exchange for an eternity of liberty, of power, invincibility. Never knowing the meaning of impossible or can't" His voice, he was whispering in my ear, dripping with iniquity. Even though his voice was a murmur, it felt like he was screaming at me.
Once a brother I loved. Once a brother I vowed to protect - Once a man that wouldn't hurt anyone, but now the greatest monster to walk the earth. He was not my brother. He was a villain, worshiping and living for causing pain and misery while gaining satisfaction in returned. He wanted the same for me and was making it impossible for me to resist.
I growled in brutal anger.
I looked into the eyes of the girl I loved. Once so vibrant, full of life, so deep and secretive; and yet only having them for me. Now they were dim, sad, pleading and gleaming with tears. I was facing the ultimate turmoil. Half of me was telling me to do it, welcome the monster inside of me, or take her and run, get her to safety. But I didn't know if I had the strength. I definitely didn't have the strength to fight my brother. He'd probably kill us both before I could take one step.
I could smell the blood. Never in my life had I smelt such a heavenly perfume. My gums itched, my throat blazing with fire and thirst. I clenched every bone in my body fighting with myself.
"Damon… P…please…" Meredith's voice; she was so scared, in so much pain mentally and physically. With the fear quaking in her voice it made the craving escalate, impossibly.
"Do it Damon!" Stefan growled at me. "Either way, one of you dies tonight. Decide now!" He gave me my ultimatum once more. I clenched my sensitive teeth, sealed my eyes, trying to wake me up from this nightmare but it was no use.
"D…Damon! Don't! Please… don't do this!" Meredith was pleading with me again. Everything was magnetized. If I thought she was beautiful before, now even in her current state, she was magnificent. Every last element of her, including the sound of her heart and the way it pumped around her blood.
My mouth and eyes were watering. I had a decision to make. Just how much did I love her? Just how much was I willing to keep her alive? They both had the same answer.
With the decision made I grabbed the brunette's hair, frantic protests in the air. Squeals as she hopelessly fought me and boy the monster wanted her to fight. He wanted to hear her screams, listen to her heart pound in its cage. The monster was taking me. "I'm sorry" I whispered before bringing my mouth down upon the open wound on her ivory cream of her neck, getting the first taste of the most delicious slice of heaven in my mouth. She struggled in my arms but it just made me clamp my mouth down on her hard, draining every last drop, powerless to stop. It trickled down my throat, easing the burning, and feeding the sense of starvation. The more I fed, the more I needed.
Everything was suddenly falling deadly silent. Her heartbeat was fading, yet it didn't make me stop. Not until I had every last drop. And once I had that last drop… I'd be him. I'd be a monster. I'd be a predator, preying on the helpless.
She was limp in my arms, empty. I detached my mouth from her neck; she had nothing left for me anymore. Dead! I let her fall from my arms, slumping to the ground. Her brown hair slipping through my bloody finger and hands - the hands of a murderer, hands of the inhuman creature I had just become.
