Preface

Anna's face was hidden under her bonnet before she looked up at me and smiled, her cheeks had the illusion of rosy, though I knew she wasn't human, and that unless she had enough blood in her system she couldn't blush. She looked at Katherine, then back at me, and offered a curtsy. I bowed and smiled.

"Anna, it's a pleasure to see you again." I said as formally as I could. She tilted her head.

"Is it Mr. Salvatore? And might I inquire as to why that is?" I regained my stance and smiled, she knew very well why I was always happy to see her. She was testing me. Seeing how quick I was.

"It is always a pleasure to see ladies as fine as yourself." I bowed my head. Pearl smiled and nodded at me, and I back at her. Anna put out her hand, and I took it in my own, before placing a kiss onto it. She grinned and ducked her head.

"Oh, Pearl?" I said softly to her, looking at her, "Might I be permitted to escort Anna home? It's on the way to where I am headed for the day with my brother." I said, smiling. Pearl was standing rod straight, her hands at her waist. Her head turned to me.

"And where might that be, Mr. Salvatore?" I looked at Anna for a moment as I spoke then back at Pearl.

"To join my brother, Stefan and Miss Pierce for some afternoon festivities, perhaps a few games... You and your daughter are welcome to join us, of course." I offered. She smiled wide, and looked at Anna.

"I'm afraid I am unable to accept such a kind invitation myself. Perhaps if Anna is interested, she may join you. You can walk her home now, if you so wish, Mr. Salvatore." I bowed my head, and opened the door for Anna, walking out with her. I held good stance and walked beside her, silent. She too, was still. Soon though, we were out of sight and earshot of Pearl. She, with the inhuman speed I could never follow, grabbed me, and pinned me to a tree. She kissed me roughly, and I held her face, running a hand back into her hair. She instantly pulled away.

"Ah ah." She waved a finger before my eyes. "You mustn't toss it." She fixed her hair but a lingering strand stray from the rest. I tucked it back into place and spun us, pinning her to the tree now, though she was far more powerful than I.

"My apologies, Anna." I said softly, then leaned in to kiss her again. She ran her hands down my clothed chest.

"Damon... won't you take me to the Mansion?" She asked as she pulled away now. I looked into her dark eyes and nodded.

"I see you are well fed today." I noted, stroking her cheek with the back of my finger. She nodded.

"Yes..." The veins below her eyes began to appear, and her eyes darkened with blood. "But you always seem to drive a sort of hunger in me that begs for a taste." I smiled, somehow flattered that she enjoyed my blood so much. I leaned my head for her, and she was quick to take the invitation, she bit into my neck and the feel of her fangs sliding into my flesh was painful and pleasurable. I let out a soft moan, and gripped her small frame, she wrapped her arms around me, and drank deeper, then pulled back, biting her wrist. "Here..." She offered. "Drink." I drank her blood and felt the bite start to heal. I sighed and looked into her eyes. She held so many emotions in them, and I basked in each one. Knowing she wanted me to take her to my home meant she wanted to make love, and I could make love to her for the rest of eternity, and never tire of the feel. I smiled at her, then took her hand.

"Yes... we shall go to the mansion."
