Chapter 1

Sixteen-year old Miranda sat on her pink bed texting away on her cell phone. Her parents were going out for their anniversary and Damon was left to watch Miranda once again. Miranda liked Damon. He was fun to be around and she often got away with anything with him. She smiled devilishly to herself. Oh yes, tonight is going to be fun.

Elena smiled as she walked over to Stefan, all dressed up in a tux and holding his arm out for her. Elena's dazzling white dress illuminated every dark corner in the house with the millions of diamonds glittering off of it like the ocean glowing after being touched by the morning rays."Ready to go?"

The couple linked arms as they walked towards the front door, completely obvious to Damon standing a few inches infront of them. "What am I supposed to do with her?" he hissed at Stefan.

"Just keep her entertained, and out of trouble."

"Yeah, we'll be back before you know it!" Elena chimed in.

"I don't know how to take care of a sixteen year old!"

Stefan rolled his eyes. "It's just like it was when she was a baby. Except she doesn't require that much attention anymore." He patted Damon on the back as he and Elena walked out the front door and to the car.

Damon watched as they drove away, getting a bad feeling every second. "Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Damon said to himself as he closed the front door and was surprised to see Miranda standing right behind him. This girl was evil. Pure evil. Damon was like a puppet to her, she could make him do anything she wanted, and she was only a human!

"Uncle Damon." Miranda said quietly while looking up at him with hopeful eyes. Damon mentally groaned as he could sense what was coming up next, and as much as he tried to deny any of her stupid requests, he always ended up doing it.

"What?" Damon was clearly exasperated.

Miranda smiled innocently. "I was wondering if you could take me to the mall for some new clothes."

Damon looked at her like she was from another planet. "And why would you think that I would do that for you?"

Miranda put on her innocent smile. "Because you're my uncle and also because I love you very much and you always give in to me anyways so there's no point in resisting. I got my card ready."

"No!" Damon growled, "I am not taking you shopping! Forget it! Your tricks worked on me when you were five, they're not gonna work anymore! Now go upstairs and stay quiet until your parents come back!"

Miranda stared at the floor, tears welling up in her blue eyes. "Ok, I understand." she said softly as a tear ran down her face.

Damon groaned. How he hated crying women, especially his niece. He couldn't stand to see her upset. Knowing that he was gonna regret this for all eternity; he gave in. "Fine, we'll go to the stupid mall. But it better not take half a century!"

Miranda's tears magically disappeared as her face immediately lit up. "Oh really? Oh thank you thank you so much Uncle Damon! I promise you won't regret it!"Damon watched as she dashed upstairs to get her purse and shook his head. Too late Miranda I'm already regretting it. He thought glumly as he started up the car.
