Vampiress

Well I'll tell you now; I was not expecting to be laying in my own blood. Again. Yes I said it, I said again, stupid damn rouge male vampire. His name happens to be Ronaldo, if im trying anything out of the ordinary –hello im a vampire, of course it's going to be out of the ordinary- he'll try to kill me, but he always fails, and I mean ALWAYS.

My names Audrina Longdawn, I died at the age of 19, I'm now 219 centuries old. My family was killed in a massacre after my 19th birthday. I was born on the 13th of November, -strange enough, black Friday- in 1791. So much has changed since then. Thank god I don't have to wear a corset anymore, unless im attending one of those fancy balls, I do love my dresses. I have long dark hair and rich green eyes.

While I lay in my own blood I think to myself, why is it I hear more and more about a man named Damon Salvatore? Strange enough I think perhaps Ronaldo has succeeded this time, in killing me, but I'm never one to give up. To my astonishment I hear a loud scream echoing through the forest, and then I hear, running feet, coming my way. I now am waiting for the worst. I close my eyes and wait as the person or thing gets closer. I feel the stake being pulled out of my chest, a ring being slid on my finger, and someone's hot breath on my neck, I can also smell aftershave. I feel a hand caress my cheek and wait for the worst, it doesn't come. Instead he whispers in my ear.

"I know you're awake, I can sense your life. He's dead now." He says.

I let my eyes flutter open slowly and see the man above me; he has dark hair and dark eyes. He wears a leather jacket over a black top and dark blue jeans.

"Will you help me up please?" I ask him.

He takes my hand and I feel heat rush through me, but in a good way, in a really good way. He helps me to my feet and grins at me. I now notice the ring on his own finger; I feel myself healing and sigh.

"Audrina Longdawn at your service." When I realized what I said I cursed under my breath. "Curse my old fashioned ways."

He smiles at me. "Damon Salvatore, how can I help you? I think you'll need it more then me actually."

"Oh so your Damon." I say a bit too loudly.

"Heard of me?" he asks grinning.

"Various rumours." I say.

He chuckles. "Well, why don't you come with me? I'm sure my brother would love to meet you."

"Where does he live?" I asked.

He gestured to a house on the other side of the woods. Well, now I know how he found me. We walked in silence and when we reached the front door I stopped. Damon stepped through the threshold, and then looked back at me.

"Sorry, I forgot. Please, come in." he said clearly.

I nodded and walked in the door and immediately took in the smell of a fresh brew of coffee. A girl rounded around a corner and dropped her mug, it smashed on the floor and she gasped. I can imagine what I look like, my shirt stuck to me covered in blood, my hair filled with dirt and maybe leaves, and my jeans smeared with grass stains and mud.

"Elena, this is Audrina Longdawn." Damon introduced.

"Did you feed off her?" she asked quietly.

I smiled and showed her my hand, the one with the ring on it. "Nope, he actually saved my life."

"That's a first." She muttered.

Damon chuckled lightly just as a look alike came down the stairs. "Stefan, this is Audrina Longdawn." Damon said.

Stefan nods at me and looks directly at Elena. "You alright?" he asks.

"Just got a scare that's all. Thought Damon had brought a dinner date home." She said.

I found myself grinning. "I doubt that he would bring someone here." I said.

"Too true." Elena agreed.

Damon and Stefan cleaned up the mess on the floor while Elena took me upstairs to get cleaned up and lend me some clothes. She put pushed me toward the bathroom with Peach smelling shampoo and conditioner, and a comb.

After ten minutes I was washed, dried, knot free and clean. There was a small knock at the door and I wrapped the long big fluffy towel around me tightly and stuck my head out. Elena handed me a bunch of clothes.

"You're welcome to stay the night if you wish. If you would rather go, here's some clothes you can take with you, if you want."

I shut the door after thanking her and sorted through the clothes. There were two different types of jeans, two tops, and the one that caught my eye, was in fact a dress. It was black and made of a soft stretchy material; it had long pieces of fabric that tied at the back as a bow and had a square neck. I loved it and slipped it on, after putting on underthings that Elena had given me. I stepped out of the bathroom and was greeted by Elena, who smiled at me.

"Lovely. Will you stay?" she asked.

"I'm not sure." I told her.

"Well, in the mean time come have a drink of coffee with me."

That brought back a memory. "Sorry about your mug."

"Eh. Don't worry about it. I got plenty more where that came from." she smiled sneakily.
