Elena Gilbert, head cheerleader, head of every committee and the girlfriend of Stefan Salvatore. She was undeniably the most beautiful girl at Robert E. Lee High School, with her lapis lazuli eyes and shining gold hair that made her look like a devastatingly irresistible angel. She stole the hearts of everyone she met, including mine, with her beauty, compassion and caring nature. Elena was the girl that every teenage girl wanted to be.
Stefan, however, was my little brother, we had many ups and downs in our lengthened lifetimes but we would always be brothers. He was the one who had been my best friend when we were human, but he was the one who convinced me to complete my transition, he was also the one who forced me to drink human blood for the first time. Now, he was the one I tormented by ruining every one of his petty attempts at having a 'human' life.
A few weeks ago, I had begun my regular torment of my sibling by following him to Fell's Church and enrolling myself into Robert E. Lee High School. But this time, he was so loved-up with the beautiful Elena, he didn't seem to care that I had come to destroy him life! Elena had smiled at me… she had looked into my eyes and smiled… No human had ever done that! My eyes were usually the subject of nightmares that made mortals shriek with terror.
"Nice to meet you Damon," Elena spoke with a soothing voice, as she shook my hand. "Stefan didn't mention he had a handsome older brother."
As she finished her sentence, my brother had pulled her towards him. He looked deep into those lovely eyes and muttered some inaudible demand. When she turned back to face me, her expression was blank.
"Lovely to meet you too, dearest Elena." I ignored the glare from Stefan and kissed the magnificent girl's hand. She giggles and blushed, before returning back to the arms of her boyfriend. At this, I turned on my heel and left with a question lingering in my head… Why had Stefan compelled his girlfriend? I decided to put my plans to irritate him aside so I could discover the answer.
The wooden floor was cold under my bare feet, the sun shining through the cracks in the curtains temporarily blinded me and my body dripped with cool sweat. My night had been filled with dreams of Elena Gilbert and my brother, so these discomforts came as a relieving reminder that this was reality and that the images of Stefan biting the innocent Elena were just my punishing imagination.
After spending days spying on my brother, I was glad to have a date tonight… even if it was with the extremely vain Barbie look-alike, Caroline.
"Hey, Damon!" Barbie said, putting on her fake, seductive voice.
"Hello, gorgeous. Good day at school?"
"Yeah but cheerleading was a drag. I hate how Elena is the leader, even though, I am a much better cheerleader!"
"Aw, that's a shame." I said sarcastically.
"Speaking of the devil…" She moaned, gesturing towards the bar where the glamorous Elena stood with her little brother, Jeremy. She was wearing a gorgeous, red tartan dress with matching six-inch heels, she looked amazingly irresistible.
"I'm going to get a drink." I muttered to Barbie as I got up and confidently strode over to the bar.
Elena ordered herself a lemonade and Jeremy a pint of lager (obviously a rarity because of the way he sipped it so slowly so to savour the taste as much as possible) while I stood patiently behind her. Just the sight of her made my knees tremble.
"Hello." I said, unable to think of a witty line to make her laugh. In fact, I was unable to think straight at all.
"Damon! Hey!"
"What is a beautiful young woman like you doing tonight?"
"Me and Jeremy are having dinner with my aunt."
"Sounds fun." It was meant to sound sarcastic but I couldn't imagine adding even a hint of sarcasm into any comment towards this angel.
"Yeah, I suppose. I heard you have a date with Caroline tonight, how's that going?"
"Fine. Look, there she is." We both smiled and waved towards the very bored-looking Caroline.
"Go back to her!" Elena said, punching me playfully.
"Okay. But what if you let me take you out for a drink tomorrow?"
"Sounds good."
I walked back to Barbie with the biggest smile on my face. I may not be able to figure out why my little brother was compelling her but at least I could spend sometime with the beauty.
