Elizabeth's Pov

"Dear Elizabeth wake up." said mother

"Yes, mother." I said

"How was your sleep dear."

"It was good mother may I go to the garden."

"You may but you need to be careful"

"Yes mother I will."

I walk out to the garden and explore it. It is very peaceful out here I can think. Across the fence I see Mr. Salvator and his sons Stephan and Damon Salvator. Following them is Miss Katherine

"Elizabeth will you come back inside " said mother

"Yes coming mother." I said

Damon's pov

Stephan,Father,and I walk to the garden while Katherine trails behind us. I see Miss Elizabeth in her across from our fence I haven't seen her for a long time .

"Father are we still hosting the Ball " I asked

" Yes Damon we are." Father said

"Katrina who will you be taking to the ball" father asked

" I do not know Mr. Salvatore I haven't decided between your sons. " Katherine said

"Tell me when you have decided "

"Yes Katrina tell us when you have decided " Stephan said

Elizabeth pov

"Elizabeth be a dear and go to Mr. Salvatore and ask if may I could talk to him" asked mother

"Yes mother I will." I said

I walk swiftly over to Mr. Salvatore's . I knock on his door . When Damon comes to the door .

"Yes Miss Elizabeth."Damon Salvatore Said

"Hello is home."

"Yes he is I will go get him."

It takes a minute for him to come back with his father .

"Yes Elizabeth what is it you need."

"My mother would like to talk to you Mr. Salvatore."

"Yes would you like to walk with me there."

"Yes sir I would love to walk with you "

We start to walk over to my house when Mr. Salvatore stops us.

"May we stop for a minute Elizabeth "

"Yes we may"

"Do you have a date to the ball."

"No sir I do not."

"Good you will go with my son won't you "

"Yes sir which one "

"Damon he needs someone to go with because Katherine will go with Stephan"

Damon's pov

"Damon get the door." father said

"Yes sir ."

I walk to the door and see Elizabeth . Elizabeth is very beautiful . She always dresses pretty and father really likes her she is my favorite acquaintance . She has dark black hair with light brown eyes.

"Yes Miss Elizabeth." I say

"Hello is Mr. Salvatore home " she said

"Yes he is I will go get him"

"Who is it ?" Father said

" It's Elizabeth she ask me to get you"

Father never really a lot of girls that were my acquaintances but he likes Elizabeth. He never liked my girlfriends too. Katherine is sitting next to Stephan. Stephan really likes her but so do I . Father Would approve of her . I see Elizabeth and father walking to her house . Then they stop I figure that they are talking . I sit back in the chair and read my book.

Elizabeth's pov

"Shall we get going." I say

"Yes will you go get you mother "

"Yes sir I will be right back ."

I walk over to my house and look for my mother.

"Mother Mr. Salvator is here." I said

"..."

"Mother ?" I call again with no response

I walk around the house but couldn't find her. I guess I will look out in the garden. I walk out to the garden and found my mother.

"Mother why are you sitting in the garden Mr. Salvator is waiting?" I ask

"..."

"Mother?"

I walk over to my mother and her back is facing me . As my hand touches her shoulder she falls .

"Mother!" Scream as loud as I could

She is bleeding from where there were bite marks on her neck. I could feel tears running down my face I was crying . Just then Mr Salvator and Damon came running into the garden.

"What happened." They both said

"I don't know i found her here." I said while still crying

"Damon take her to the house and get her cleaned up." Mr. Salvator said to Damon

Damon's pov

Miss Katherine got up and went to her room.

"Brother who are you going to escort to the ball?" Asked Stephan

"I hope to escort Miss Katherine." I said

"What if she goes with someone else."

"Then I will escort Miss Elizabeth."

Right then I heard a pricing scream. Coming from Elizabeth's house. Then I ran out the room toward her house and I caught up with my father. We both ran to the garden.

"What happened?" Said father and I

"I don't know I found her here." Elizabeth said

"Damon take her to the house and get her cleaned up." Father said

"Yes sir." I said while leading Elizabeth to the house

When Elizabeth and I get to the house I lead her to the bathroom. I get a towel and wipe her face off. I did not relies that I was covered with blood.

"Damon come here." Father said

"Yes sir coming." I said

"Take her up to Katherine she will be sharing a room with her for a while."

"Yes sir."

I went to get Elizabeth. She was still in the bathroom on the floor. She is still crying .

"Come on lets get you up stairs." I said

"Why are we going up stairs."

"You are going to stay with us in Kathryn's room."

"Thank you."

We get to Katherine's room and i knock on the door.

"Yes Damon." Katherine said

"Do you mind sharing a room with Elizabeth for now?"

"No not at all go on in." She said to Elizabeth

After Elizabeth enters the room Katherine closes the door behind her and pulls me to the side.

"What happened?" She asked

"Her mother was attacked today."

"Ok I will get her some new clothes."

Elizabeth pov

Miss Katherine walks back into the room and sits down next to me.

"I am sorry to be a bather." I say

"No its ok lets get you some new clothes."

The next afternoon

I walk down the stairs toward the living room when i hear Stephan and Katherine talking.

"Stephan I want you to escort me to the ball."said Katherine

"Yes Katherine but is it safe for you to be out." Said Stephan

"What do you mean."

"Being an vampire and all don't you think that my father will catch you."

"No he won't find out I am a vampire."

I walk as quietly as I could up the steps so they wouldn't hear me . Then I walked to Damon's room and knock on the door.

"Come in." Damon said

I walk in the door . I was think about what Stephan said about Katherine being a vampire.

"Something wrong?" Damon said

"No I just wanted to thank you for helping me yesterday."

"Your welcome Elizabeth who are you going to the ball with."

"No one I think i staying here."

"Would you like to go with me because Katherine is going with Stephan."

"I would love to thank you."

Later that night

Damon,Stephan,Katherine,and I are going to the ball.

Stephan and Katherine go to dance while Damon and I sit down.

"Excuse me may you turn your attention to Mr. Salvator." The announcer said

"There are vampires in our town and we are going to hunt them down." Said Mr. Salvator

Just then Damon grabs my arm tight and pulls me to the side. Vampires are starting to attack people . Damon pulls me out side behind a tree.

"What are we doing?"

"I need you to run as fast as you can." "I am not going to leave you."

"Its ok I'll be with Katherine now run."

I ran as fast as I could when I ran to the woods. I stopped behind a tree and looked behind me. I turned around and someone covered my mouth.

"Shhh ." A male voice said while pointing behind me .

I turned around and saw a vampire .

"I know you there don't try to hide I won't hurt you." The vampire said

I can see the vampire going tree to tree trying to find me. I try to move but the man is to strong.

"I'll be right back."the man said

"What? Don't leave me." I say but the man is already gone.

"I am going to find you."

Just then the vampire is right in front of me. I try to scream but he holds his hand on my mouth. Then I see his fangs and they sink into my neck. I'm losing a lot of blood. I am to weak to fight him. Then the man comes back and puts his ring finger on his lips telling me to be quite.

"Hey." Says the man

Then the Vampire turned around and ran for the man. The man swiftly dodged the vampire. When the vampire came again he grabbed the vampire and staked him. Then man started to walk towards me. Then everything got blurry and I blacked out
