I couldn't believe this was happening to me. You only hear about this in movies or fairytales, not in real life. My boyfriend, my soul mate, is not- cannot be- a vampire. It just isn't possible. There's no way I'm going to live my life as Bella Swan.
This is a dream. It has to be a dream. I will wake up from this nightmare with my human boyfriend lying next to me and go on living my normal life.
"Elena! Please just open the door; I need to talk to you! I will explain everything!"
"Go away! Please just go!" I hurried to place my drawer in front of my bedroom door so there would be no way of him breaking through.
I backed away slowly as I heard him pounding relentlessly on my door. If he kept this up, he would surely smash it open.
"Elena please, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want you to understand. I didn't ask for this. Please." I could hear the desperation in his voice. Deep down I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but I was too scared to find out. Who knew what he, a vampire, was capable of?
"If I let you in, do you promise not to come near me?"
"Of course, I promise Elena."
I closed my eyes as I went to remove my drawer from the door and prayed to God that this decision I'm making would be a good one.
Taking a deep breath, I said, "Okay, you can come in."
Damon walked in and put his hands up as if to say "I come in peace." I stepped back as he walked further into my room.
"I know this is a complete shock to you and trust me I wish I wasn't the way that I am but I didn't even ask to be this way. It was forced upon me and there was nothing I could do about it. I didn't want this. I never wanted any of it. Elena, I love you and I don't want you to be afraid of me." When he spoke those words, his eyes showed so much emotion that I couldn't bear to even look at them. I didn't say anything; I had no idea what to say. The truth is, I was frightened of, not only Damon, but this whole situation.
"If you want me to leave, I'll leave but you cannot tell anyone about this. Promise me Elena." He said, pleading.
"I promise, now please just go." My voice was shaking. My heart was beating so fast I thought it was going to burst out of my chest and fall onto my bedroom floor.
Damon started to back away and walk towards my bedroom door. When the door closed, I immediately started crying. From then on, I knew my life was going to be far from normal.
