Heart of darkness
Her big chocolate eyes starred at the window as she laid in her bead, she turned around to face the wall closed her eyes annoyed she moved again staring at her celling, she was so frustrated its been a 3 days since she could not find sleep. Its been almost a year since her parents death and Elena Gilbert was never the same. She used to be "the girl who had it all" friends that loved her family that loved a boyfriend good grades she didn't care about popularity of standing out she had what she needed to be happy which was people who truly loved and cared for her. But after her parents death her whole life changed, the most important persons of her life…gone…She still had friends that loved her, her little brother Jeremy her aunt Jenna that moved in to take care of them, but it didn't matter how hard she tried she felt like something was missing in her life she felt empty. Annoyed Elena turned around to face the widow again after a long start she made up her mind this is it I am done trying to sleep pushing her bed sheets aside she grabbed her gray cardigan and put it on top of her white tank top she stood the there for a moment to think what exactly she was going to do. If I go through the front door Jenna and Jeremy could wake up mmm the window, but what if I fall… what the hell I am going out the window. She slipped past the curtains and opened the window as she felt the cool breeze touching her body making her shiver a little she looked down and saw that the metallic stair way was only half way down since they never finished putting them. She started making her way down the stairway until she got to the last part of it she looked down it doesn't seem too high to jump she prepared herself to jump and landing in her knees and putting both hands in her mouth preventing her from screaming in pain, she placed both her hands in the cold ground trying to catch her breath then she sat in the humid grass and tied up her black converse shoelaces. As she stood up from the ground she felt a sharp pain in her left knee she raised her black pj pants and saw a saw a scratch on her knee that was bleeding a little ugh! Seriously got to love my luck she said in a small voice as she folded the hem of her pants up to her knew so the cool air could clam her pain a little. She looked around and started walking to were her feet would lead her. She was too lost in her thoughts and the song that she was humming when she realized were she was at. Subconsciously her feet lead to the Wickery bridge, the place were her parents died she stood there for a moment and the walked and sat down letting her legs hanging as she watched the water below her feet. In a small voice she started singing "I don't now were I am at , I'm standing at the back I'm tired of waiting , waiting here in lien hoping that ill find what I've been chasing" She was too deep in her thoughts as she sang the song in a small voice like a whisper.
Damon Salvatore was back in town was back home in mystic falls, he was tired and didn't want to keep on going to different parts of the country or the world he just wanted to go home, go to the place that once was his home were he had happiness, where he had his human life were he had his little brother. His head looked up the sky and then to his watch it was 4 am and it was still dark outside as he could sill take a glimpse of the moon and the starts. He kept on walking until something caught his attention he could hear a small sweet voice singing so lightly that without his vampire ears he would not have been able to hear. Curiosity took over as he started walking towards the owner of the soft voice, "I shot for the sky, I'm stuck on the ground so why do I try, I know I am gonna fall down, I thought I could fly , so why did I drown?" It was like it was calling him he felt the pull of the small voice like it was calling him, each time he could her it more and more until he got to the bridge and saw a small figure with her legs hanging and long straight brow hair on her left shoulder. She was such a simple girl something was special about he, she was different than any other girl that he ever seen. He wondered if it was her beautiful olive skin or her long brown hair but he knew it was none of that. He found himself walking towards the girl unconsciously when he realized he was two feet away from her "never know why its coming down, down, down" she finished her songshe looked down to her feet as a small teardrop was falling down her cheek. Why was there so much hurt and pain in her? He thought as her small angelic voice cracked a little as she ended her song he slowly sat down next to her as he realized the small teardrop falling down her cheek and with hesitation he wiped it with his thumb very gently she turned around surprised to se someone next to her. How could I not notice his presence? She thought face palming herself in her mind. Without saying anything she looked at the men next to her, his pale complexion his raven hair and his crystal azure eyes like they were looking through her soul. She was stoned at how handsome he was, with a small voice she finally found the words to come out her mouth, "How long have you been here?" trying to find words of his own he said "not to long ago" "Who are you?" Elena said staring at the raven hired men that was looking down his feet that were hanging next to her own. "My name is Damon" he said in his velvety voice. "I… My name is Elena" she said looking at her feet. After a minute Damon broke the silence "what are you doing here at 4:30 am? May I ask?" "I couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk" "so you decided to take a walk and ended up in this bridge? Alone?" after a long pause she said "My parents died her almost a year ago" surprised by her confession he turn his head to look at her to find her looking at her injured knee as she lightly touched it with her fingertips. Not even the blood of her knee distracted Damon from looking at her face. Feeling his intense gaze she turned her hear to look at him and said " I know you are just a stranger, I am sorry for suddenly telling you this things" what the hell am I doing? Se could not undemand why all of a sudden she was opening her heart to a stranger, but here was something about him that she felt she could trust him. " no don't apologize its ok, I know we don't know each other but…you can tell me anything you want" she looked at him hesitant but once she saw he reassuring smile she felt safe " it was 11 months ago…I went to this party that my parents didn't give me permission to go to. My boyfriend Matt said that I had to go, so I did, my parent noticed I escaped to the party so the called me telling me they were coming for me, on their way they lost control of the car and the fell down this bridge…I never go to see them again…it is my fault if I-...if I- would have listen and stayed home they would still be alive" she said with a small voice full of pain and cracking in almost every word. He looked at her and placed his hand on top of her hand and said" Elena… its not your fault, you didn't know this would happen.. maybe it was their destiny things happen for a reason, don't blame yourself anymore you loved them and meant no harm to them" small teardrops started to fall down her cheek as he wiped them away with his thumb giving her a reassuring smile. "thank you.." she said holding the raven hair men's hand. "so… Damon…what are you doing here at hmm 5am?" she said in a mocking tone pushing him a little with her shoulder as he chuckled "I can say that I wanted to come back home" he said looking up the sky "so you live here? In Mystic falls? How- how come I have never seen you?" " I left long time ago I've been around for a while "pff! What? You are like 23 or 20 something years old? acting like you are so old" he chuckled I am a 145 year old vampire so yes I've been here for a long time he looked at her with a small smile looking down to her dangling feet again what a beautiful smile He thought. They spend talking about random things and making fun of each other. She was getting a little sleepy as she rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. Damon looked at her as she was loosing a little balance he got closer to her and let her head rest in his shoulder as he felt a weird sensation. "look Elena" Damon said as he pointed out to the sun rising "its so pretty" she said. "Oh God what time is it!?" "6 am Elena, why?" "My aunt Jenna could wake up and if she doesn't find me she would freak out I have to go!" She said as she stood up whimpering a little because of her injured knee, she reached out to it holding it tight. Damon placed his and on top of her back "are you ok?" No this hurts like hell! She thought "no its ok I can handle myself" she said as she unfolded her black PJ pants and let them fall to her ankle. "Can I walk you to your house?" Damon said as he looked at her with concerned eyes, she gave him a small simile "umm sure but I don't want to bother you! Really its not necessary" just let me help pleaseeee "I know its not necessary but I want to…" she looked at him with her big die eyes "fine follow me" he chuckled a little oh God Damon thought to himself as the started to walk quietly through the forest, they would glance up each other once in a while awkward Elena thought as the approached a little hill that would lead them to her house. Elena started walking up the hill trying not to yelp in pain because of her knee Damon could sense her pain and held onto her arm to keep her from keep on walking "what's wrong?" she asked surprised by his action "it hurts doesn't it?" confused Elena looked at him "what?" rolling his eyes Damon said "your knee genius" Elena frowned at him and yanked her arm back "I am fine I already told you" so stubborn "you are only giving me to choices you decide" he said crossing his arms and showing his finger "one you let me carry you to your house the good way or 2"he said showing her his second finger "I will carry you to your house the bad way your choice" Elena with her mouth opened in disbelief let out a chuckle "excuse me? I just met you like and hour and a half ago and know you think you can just order me? Get lost" Elena said turning around to keep on walking as Damon stood there while razing his brow with arms still crossed how dare she? Stubborn little girl and in a flash Damon raised Elena from the ground carrying her bridal style as she protested and kicked her legs "seriously!?" "I told ya" Damon said smirking at her after trying to fight him for two minutes and seeing how pointless it was Elena gave in and rested her head on his chest as he kept on walking. Damon looked down at her and chuckled, she looked up at him and hit him in the chest with her fist "not funny" Damon smirked at her "believe me it is looking at you try" He said as she mumbled something. "so were do I go from here left or right?" Elena looked around and pointed at her right as he kept on walking. It was so weird for her feeling like she had known him for a long time they acted so naturally with each other that it was very weird considering the just met. "How can I trust you ah?" Elena said not looking at him Damon frowned and looked down at the burnet "what do you mean Elena?" " I mean we just met and here you are carrying me to my house how can I be sure you are not trying to kidnap me huh?" she said looking up at him razing one brow. Damon chuckled at her rolling his eyes "Then why would I even bother talking to you? Huh? If I wanted to kidnap you it would have been a lot different than this besides what the hell why would I do that? Do I look like a criminal?" Damon said frowning at her as she chuckled "no you don't" you look more like an angel Elena thought to herself. ""its just weird I mean I don't know you!" "My name is Damon Salvator and I live in the boarding house that way" he said pointing at my left "know you know me" "ha ha very funny Damon I feel like I've known you all my life" she said in a sarcastic tone as he looked down at her with his azure eyes as he met he big brown eyes as he stood still, they where just there gazing at each other until Elena snapped out of the trance and cleared her throat "My name is Elena Gilbert and I live here she said pointing at the house that was in front of them. Damon looked down at her as she started at her house slowly he led her down "I- thank you for walking me home Damon" "actually carrying me home" she said smiling at the ground as a chuckle escaped Damon's lips she looked back at him as he smiled at her once again their eyes met "your welcome" he said as Elena started walking to her front door "Hey…" she heard a velvety voice behind as she turned around "ill see you around" he said and started walking away "take care" Elena said in a whisper to herself but she didn't know he could hear her as a small smile appeared in is face as he walked away back to his house.
