Dear Diary,
I can't believe it's been almost a month since Stefan left Mystic Falls and me. I know that him leaving, in the grand scheme of things, was a good thing. Mystic Falls has to many people and obligations for him to ever truly resist the temptation of human blood. According to Damon he's gone to the middle of nowhere to hunt bunnies until his thirst is under control.
Damon. Just when I think I have him pegged as the "self serving psychopath with no redeeming qualities" that he is. He goes and changes everything I once that about him. He's been so … different now that Stefan is gone. It's like his a whole different person when he's brother isn't around. A person that - dare I say it – I like! He's been less snarky, and vengeful and more …calm almost. Now I cant deny that he is still definitely a vampire, but there haven't been any unexplained deaths in the recent weeks, nor have any people recently gone missing. Its like – he's trying to make a life for himself, in his own Damon – like way anyway.
Ugh enough about Damon. Stefan's been gone for a month. Bonnie still wont speak to me, Caroline's been avoiding me more and more lately. (I think it's due to Stefan and I breaking up and she thinks matt is going to try something with me now that I'm single again!). Jeremy has been hanging with Anna a lot at her new house in the outskirts of town, and Jenna and Alaric seem to be getting closer everyday!
I just need to have some fun, get back to being "fun Elena" again. The fun loving person I was before I had ever heard of the Salvatore brothers; before the accident with my parents; the person I was before my life got so crazy!
-Elena
I closed my diary and had just finished putting it away in its hiding spot when I felt a rush of cool air coming from behind me. Without turning around, I confronted my new unexpected guest.
"Damon, its late. I was just about to go to bed," I said in a neutral tone as a spun around. " What's going on?"
"Elena, Elena, Elena. Cant a guy just visit?" He began walking toward the closet in my bedroom glancing over my wardrobe that was hanging inside. "All these clothes and not any decent labels" he said in his typical teasing voice.
I shot him an unbelieving look. " It's 10 PM on Friday, your either VERY bored or you want something. Spit it out so I can get to bed"
"Fine" he huffs in an indignant tone before sinking down onto the edge of my bed. "This town is boring, there isn't anything that has piqued my interest so I decided to invite two of my old friends over for the weekend."
"That's great for you Damon, but how does you inviting people over effect me? Just make sure they don't kill anyone and have fun"
"You see, I've known Peter and Elizabeth for a very long time – most of my un-dead life really and for the majority of that time we have been playing this game" he trailed off trying to find the words to explain what he meant. " The game is pretty similar to the vampire version of Truth or Dare, as stupid as that sounds. I figured its been a month since dear old st. Stefan left you, I thought you might like to join us for the weekend and join in."
" I've known you for a while Damon, you just don't invite me to do things without an ulterior motive. Why do you want me to play?" I asked knowing full well that I would, more than likely be given a run around answer.
"Suit yourself, thought your might like a few days of fun and frivolity. Guess I was wrong" he trailed off, standing up and heading toward the window to leave.
I paused for a second contemplating his proposal. Hadn't I just minutes before decided that I needed fun – a chance to return to being the "fun Elena" I knew I really was? " Wait" I said slowly " ill go, it sounds like fun. Just give me a few minutes to pack"
" I knew you couldn't turn away the idea of a good time" he smirked from the window.
"Oh no you don't" I said " your in charge of keeping Aunt Jenna off my back for the weekend. Just don't tell me anything to crazy, ok" I said, fully understanding that I had just given Damon permission to compel my Aunt. " Just remember she wears that vervian filled bracelet everyday. Ill meet you at the boarding house in about an hour"
"Cant wait" drawled Damon and like that he was gone.
What did I just sign up for?
