Spur of the moment decisions are never good. Here we where, stilling talking about non-sense, the next marching of men and gunshots filled the silent air. I quickly jumped off and held my weapon, ready to take out anyone who comes our way, my angel's eyes were filled with concern and were confused, how could you not be? She stayed by my side as I was searching for a safe route for her to take away from the soon to be battle field. Someone shot, her grip onto my arm loosened. The field we found earlier, that's where in right now, as the sounds echoed away, the great tree was on fire. We both felt the blazing heat as it laminated everything. I turned to look at my angel as her eyes where full of pain, that's when I realized that her neck was trickling blood. Quickly I laid her down onto the grass and held a firm grip onto her neck, keeping the blood from spilling out.
His Blue eyes shot open as he awoke in cold sweat from the dream.
Although it was more on a nightmare of the past. Damon glanced at the clock at it said 6:30 in bright red numbers.
he grumbled as he made his way down stares towards the kitchen, filling up a glass of coffee
and slowly sipping it , he couldn't stop the memory that filled in again
.
It all started when fellow 'mate' Lewis tripped and twisted his wrist, being a good friend that he is, Damon helped their friend over towards the medical cabinet as they could hear two people arguing. More of screaming.
"No! you do not wrap a wound that way!" an unfamiliar musical female voice said.
"I've been in medicine for 15 years young lady I know what I'm doing!" The aging doctor said as we walked it, all grew silent.
The woman huffed and turned away crossing her arms.
She had light brown hair that was half pinned up, angelic features that belonged to an innocent girl.
And lastly, gold amber eyes with a shade he have never seen before, it was golden orange with orange flecks and red ripples which just draw a person in.
"See what they want" the old doc said, as he motioned her away.
She rolled her Amber eyes as she looked at us, I glanced over at Lewis. He was gawking at her. I quickly smacked the side of his head, as he turned to glare at me.
"He twisted his wrist" Damon said,
The Angel nodded and walked Lewis through and made him sit down on a bed, with crisp sheets of sorts.
Lewis, being a drunk patient as he is began singing in a really off tune tone, knocking down some bandages.
The Angel laughed as she bandaged up the injured wrist and Damon fought the sudden urge to close his ears .
"You have such soft hands" Lewis exclaimed
"well, Thank You" Damon now really wanted to know her name that just calling her Angel but Lewis beat him to it, "What's your name Lady?" he slurred.
"Emilia, but just don't call me that"
"then what Emi-Lia" Lewis said jokingly.
Emilia rolled her amber eyes again, "Its to formal, call me Ellie"
"Ellie? That's an unusual name." Lewis slurred again, his eyelids dropping.
"well, you're going to sleep right about..now" as if by magic his eye lids dropped as he made himself comfortable on the bed.
"I'm sorry if anything he did was beyond limits" Damon said, having been probably brought up by his mother, he felt that Lewis has.
"No hard feelings, he was just" she paused looking for a word
"Lewis" Damon continued.
She laughed "yeah something like that" she quickly cleared up the little mess of clips and bandages.
Being a gentleman that he is Damon helped Ellie clear up the little bits of bandage on the floor.
"to try and make it up, would you like to join us for dinner, or something?"
Ellie bit her lip thinking over it for a bit. "I'd like that"
Damon smiled as he left his friend and New friend and went back to where they were stationed.
.
Buzz Buzz.
Damon's eyes flew open from the happy memory still fresh in his mind after all this time. grumbling he answered the phone.
"Damon"
"why, good morning to you too Alaric" Damon said, bitter
"someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed" Alaric muttered then added " Elena found another place Stefan might be," he trailed off.
"I'll be right there" with a sigh he hung up, finishing off his coffee mug. He grabbed his black jacket and headed out towards his car.
unlocking it and settling himself, he started off the car.
his mind wondered back towards the days he weren't worrying over vampires or supernatural beings themselves.
The time he was last genuinely happy. The memory flooded back into his mind.
.
"you can't catch me" she said, her amber eyes sparkling with life.
"oh I think I can, mylady" he answered.
she turned onto a sprint towards the woods, her White dress ruffling behind her.
Damon was stunned for a moment when his senses rushed back to him he took off in the direction she disappeared in.
not long after, someone jumped onto his back, casing his legs to buckle under him, making both of them fall.
"see I told you can't catch me" she whispered.
"oh I can" with a swift move, he flipped her that he was above her. He clasped her hands above her head as he made sure he didn't crush her with his weight.
Ellie yelped in surprise as her back hit the grassy grounds.
"you surly can, now Damon, mind getting off of me?" she asked, using her best innocent tone.
"I might have to think that first, Ellie" he whispered, getting on his back next to her as well.
Elli closed her eyes, soaking up the warm sunlight, when she opened them again, intense Blue orbs where watching her every move.
"why did you come here?" she asked, turning her face to face his.
he sighed, feeling rather complied to tell her.
and indeed he did, feeling like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Hey, Damon" she spoke, for the first time since he launched onto his tale.
he answered with a 'hmm?'
"well, it's rather the same as mine, just My mother never really cared for me. I guess if she wasn't there at all it wouldn't have made much difference" Ellie tentivly said, as Damon spread his hands, motioning for her to come near her.
"and why is that?" he asked once her head was on his shoulder.
"my mother is all about social status, gossip, dresses and things alike. I volunteered to prove myself. To prove a point, That I'm not just a woman. That I'm not hopeless as some used to say"
"so your saying that we were both foolish enough to go along with this"
"look Damon, you're not the bad child. Our actually very brave to take him up for the offer, at least you don't live under his rule." Ellie muttered closing her eyes again. "the only person that ever supported me was my grandma, and when she passed on..nothing's been the same. You've got you little brother, now do you want him to go through the same? You were close to you mother, I am not, consider that a positive."
A moment had passed without anyone's words, as hers drowned onto him.
she opened her eyes as his blue ones' where looking at her deeply.
"what?" she said, her face heating up.
without over thinking it, Damon lend towards her capturing her lips in a kiss, quickly breaking it as fast as it happened.
"I'm sorry" he said, standing away. Why did he do that? Wasn't she his best friend on this journey? In this war?
.
Damon got out of the car feeling a little tingling. Elena was no Ellie. He thought making his way into the Gilbert house. "got a new location" Elena said, breezing by Damon.
Alaric was slumped on the couch, a cup of coffee in his hands.
"you wake me up for this?" Damon raised his eyebrows.
"don't look at me" Alaric answered him motioning to Elena who was packing.
"whoa, Elena hold up, you're not going anywhere" Damon said, snatching the bag from her hands.
"no Damon! He might be there for real this time, who knows what Klaus did to him!" she answered.
Damon mentally sighed, taking the paper with the location on it from Elena and heading out the door.
"Damon, I'm coming with you whether you like it or not." She said disappearing upstairs again.
he leaned onto the porch railing gazing over everything, for the third time that day, his mind traveled back.
.
Emilia plopped down next the Lewis and Damon. "hello future bride!" Lewis said, being Lewis.
"why morning to you too Lewis" the man never failed to make Ellie laugh, he seemed to be drunk twenty four seven.
"morning mail" a young man said, handing over an envelope for each.
Ellie's eyebrows knotted when she saw that she had two letters, one from her father and the other from a Giuseppe Salvatore.
it toke her a moment for the name to click in her head.
"I think this is yours Salvatore" she said, handing him the envelop.
"it not" he answered, throwing it back at her, turning his eyes back to his. His tone was just, off Ellie though.
Curiosity toke over as she ripped the envelop open.
"Congratulations. Finally my 'son' had done something good in his miserable life. But get ready for disappointment - Salvatore"
'A man with a few words', Ellie mused.
Wait, why was he congratulating her? And what did Damon do? Those two questions swirled in her mind.
"hey, Salvatore what's wrong with your father sending me creepy messages?" I said looking up at him. He seemed to be locked in his own world with a smile on his face.
"ohh Mr. Salvatore" Ellie said still looking at him, and he still had that stupid smile.
when he finally came back to earth, looking at her in the eye, she looked at him "finally" she muttered.
"Hey, Ellie can we have..a word in private?" he said, still smiling, his eyes dancing with happiness.
she thought it for a moment, they hadn't had a decent conversation since that day in the woods, before nodding her head, heading towards the little woods that surrounded them.
After a minute or two of searching, Damon found a branch that could easily double as a bench, he toke her hand as the duo sat down.
"look Ellie, I don't know how to say this, but I just really like you. So I might have sent a couple of letters so I could get the okay." He took a deep breath, his eyes dancing with mirth "To sum it all up, I want to court you."
