This is tell by someone, not Damon, just to give some kind of prologue, or intro. Next chapters will be from his POV, and maybe, probably, surely, a well worth rated M.

It was just five in the morning, but the oldest of the Salvatore brothers had already declined to be there, sitting in that dark room. Yes, surely everyone would think that: vampire, ergo, darkness. Maybe in this case, it was. Well, that's the way he wanted to conceive himself. The way he wanted the whole world to conceive him.

What are you waiting for?

He surely wasn't waiting for more time: he had plenty of that already. But still, every time he had the chance, the threats on the table and the hands in the neck, he chickened out. He just couldn't do it right.

Time by time, year by year, the history repeated. Damon, the big, insensitive, bad brother, would go pick on him, make it all a bit worse for the people around them. Yes, that's exactly what he should be doing by the moment. But heck, something was wrong.

It had been past 144 years since Stefan, he's brother, and Damon got that couple of shots to the chest, leaving behind every idea or sight of life until then. Damon just needed a week to settle into everything around them, learn how to hunt, how to adjust. How to stop that stinging feeling inside of him. How to shut it down. Damn, since then, everything felt so fucking good. Life became easier, problems just slipped away with a blow and mostly, anything seemed to hurt. Yes, sometimes the sting came back, bothering him like there was no tomorrow. But still, just a couple of hours later, everything went back to normal. Well, he's concept of normal.

The hurting, bad, hideous things where minimized by like three times. The pleasant, exciting and good ones, treble. The scent of young flesh blood rushing inside a little kid, a loud and hard scream from whoever it was that dare to say 'yes' to him.

He didn't have to miss her anymore; he didn't have to be hurt. God damn, he didn't even have to care. All he needed, he got it. Simple, fast.

And that, right there, was just the beginning.

This, right here, is the beginning of what it would be THE VAMPIRE DIARIES/Damon Salvatore's POV.

If everything goes well, next chapters will come out soon enough.
