Chapter 1: Did you Miss Me?
A normal night, that's what it seemed like. The little sparks in the sky shining bright, the sky dark among the luminous creations. One by one they would sparkle with glee as it they had a specific pattern to follow. The cold crisp air carried quite a weight. It wavered through the trees, shaking tree branches and wisping fallen leafs through the air as they flew, following the winds direction. Then you had him. Just laying there in the middle of the road. A look of hope in his eyes as if he were in the dream. His eyes studied the stars. He was cool, calm and collected, just waiting. All he wanted to do was love. Love the one who he had lost. Just to hold her in his arms one last time, just to take in her scent, just to taste her one more time. The blue in his eyes swirled with emotions as he just lay, waiting for the next car to pass by. Listening out, he continued looking at the sparkles, his mind in another world. It was much easier this way, it caught prey off easier. They always thought lying in the middle of the road meant he was hurt. It just lured them into a trap. Them coming to you made it a whole lot easier, except there was no challenge in it and him, he enjoyed a challenge.
Hearing light footsteps, his eyebrows furrowed as he rolled his head to the side. A voice began to echo through his ears, his blue orbs showing confusion as he recognized that voice. He would recognize it anywhere. Listening in, his ears perked up as he confirmed it. Katherine? Moving fast, he was on his feet, waiting for the girl to appear. It couldn't be her, could it? She was dead? But no, it was her, her voice.
"I know Bonnie, your right. You and my mom both are. I just can't...bring myself to tell him." Taking a pause, she sighed and hugged herself, " Least not tonight, I'll call you later."
Smiling slightly, she pressed the end call button on the phone as she let a breath escape her mouth. A whoosh of wind was suddenly heard, but she ignored it, looking at her phone. Now she just had to wait for her parents to collect her. Great. Staring at her phone, she licked her lips.
"Katherine." The brunette looked up, almost alarmed and seen a guy with a leather jacket, black jet hair and blue eyes to die for, his expression full of disbelief as he stared.
"Uhm no, I," Turning around to look behind her, she checked there was no one there, so she didn't look like an idiot and then looked back at him, "I'm Elena."
"Oh," Damon muttered, the realization hitting him, seeing as he could hear her heartbeat, "You, you just look." Shaking his head, the disbelief was still there as he frowned.
Stepping back on foot, Elena looked at him cautiously, not liking the idea that it was only them two out here alone. She felt a weird force between them and didn't know if it was good or bad. He took a deep breath as if he were refreshing his brain and shook his head, holding his hand out slightly.
"I'm sorry, " A small smirk made its way onto his face as he took a small step forward, "You just really remind me of someone," Biting his lip, he looked at her, "I'm Damon."
"Not to be rude, or anything Damon," Gripping her phone tightly in her hand, she tried to calm down, stepping back again, "But it's kinda creepy, that your out here... in the middle of nowhere."
Swallowing, she put on a brave face and watched the emotions play on his face. Was she in deep waters here? Her heart was pounding, blood threatening to burst through her ears as she squeezed her phone even tighter. Were her parents just taking their time? Who was this stranger?
"Your one to talk," He pointed out with a smile, "You're out here all by yourself." He told her with a tilt of his head, a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Its Mystic Falls," She waved her arms, a small smile on her face, "nothing bad ever happens here." She told him as if were the most obvious thing in the world.
Looking innocent, she tried to think of something else to do as his gaze was intent, his eyes still looking her over as if he were trying to replace her. Trying to think of something, she swallowed and just started rambling on, not being sure where it came from.
"Got into a fight with my boyfriend." Elena admitted shyly with a hint of a laugh as she looked at him.
"About what?" He questioned curiously and then raised his hands in a teasing way, knowing what teenage girls were like with their business, "May I ask?"
"Life," She shook her head, knowing it was stupid, "future. He's got it all mapped out." She looked away, a lot of confusion on her face.
"You don't want it?" Damon asked interested, watching the girl in front of him, who seemed to be the most interesting little thing he'd seen in a while. Especially since she had the face of his former lover, he couldn't place that.
"I don't know what I want." She answered honestly, not knowing why she was pouring herself out to this stranger. What was wrong with her? He WAS attractive.
"Well that's not true," He began and shrugged, "You want what everybody wants." He raised an eyebrow at her as she tilted her head, amused and narrowed her eyes.
"What? A mysterious stranger that has all the answers?" Smiling, she looked at him. He wasn't that bad to be fair and she was flirting, so that was something.
Laughing, he shook his head.
"Well, let's just say I've been around a long time," He answered, looking at her as her smile turned into a grin, "I've learned a few things."
"So Damon, tell me," Giving him a look, "What is it that I want?" A glint appeared in her eyes as he looked at her, almost thinking about what he was going to say.
"You want a love that consumes you," He told her, his voice sounding magical as he advanced towards her, "You want passion, an adventure and even a little danger."
He smirked as he watched the emotions play off her face. She was looking at him in amazement, but at the same time, looking at him as if she didn't know what to do. As she collected her thoughts, she watched him curiously, knowing that he just drove her to a bubbled brain. Why was he so...beautifully attractive?
"So, what do you want?" Raising an eyebrow, a smile settled on her lips as he was lost for words and let out a puff of air, before hearing a car beeping.
Looking behind her, he seen the headlights heading their way and watched as she turned around to look at them too. Biting his lip, he watched as the car came closer and knew he had to hurry up and do what was right. If he didn't he would be screwed. No one could know he was in town yet and as fun and interesting as she was, maybe he'd meet her again someday.
"That's my parents." Before he got the chance to compel her, she ran off in a hurry and looked back at him, before sliding into the car as it drove off. Rubbing his neck, he let out a breath. Dammit. Impeccable timing. Just freaking perfect. Groaning, he ran his fingers through his hair and watched the car.
"Goodnight Elena."
The Grill was buzzing. There was a large crowd in tonight. Only reason, it was $1 a drink and that was cheap. Their shots were even going for 50p. Apparently, they felt like taking a break on over charging people for drink. About time and all that they lowered the price. It was a free country. You had different groups in tonight, you had the jocks who were spread out, some making out with girls in booths, in corners or you had them at the pool table cursing at each other because of their loses. You had the geeks who all sat in one booth together with books, tutting at the disobedient teenagers who were going wild and out of control. Then you had the cheerleaders, again split up all around the Grill. Some making out with jocks, some at the bar flirting with guys and then you had Caroline, Bonnie and Elena who sat a table, nursing their drinks.
"You know, you've been acting odd lately Elena." Bonnie commented with a soft smile as she raised an eyebrow towards her.
"No I haven't, what do you mean odd? I'm the same, old and normal me." Elena replied with a grin, sipping her vodka and coke as she licked her lips.
"She means you've been happy. More than your usual happy, sappy self with Matt." Caroline told her, rolling her eyes as the brunette almost shook her head.
"I, kind of...met someone?" Biting down on her lip, they both stared at her in shock
"Excuse me? Met someone? What do you mean someone? Like a someone other than a Matt someone?" The blonde questioned, her nose sticking in again.
"I MEAN someone other than Matt, yes!" She replied, finishing her vodka and coke.
"Wait, when was this?" Bonnie grinned, raising an eyebrow as Elena blushed.
"A couple of weeks ago. I haven't seen him since. It was just...a moment. Nothing special." Elena told them, knowing she was lying through her teeth. Of course it was special, she'd been dreaming about their little encounter ever since. Damon. Uh, why was he sex walking on legs and WHY did his voice have to be so orgasm worthy?
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na
Na-na-na-na na-na
A song began blasting through the speakers as Caroline gasped, her eyes wide with excitement as she clapped her hands and jumped up from the seat causing Bonnie and Elena to look at her in confusion. Knocking back her drink, she ushered Bonnie to the same as Elena was sitting with an empty glass. As she knocked it back, she shook her head.
I guess I just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent
(Nope!)
"Move your butts! We have some dancing to do, up there!" Caroline pointed to the bar, grinning cheekily.
"Ha, no! Do you know who my parents are? If they find out, I will be in BIG trouble." Elena told her, her eyes full of distress as she knew what her parents were like.
"Your parents are on holiday!" Caroline told her as Elena looked at her, a grin spreading on her face.
"Let's do this then, what are we waiting for!? Come on Bonnie!"
I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight
Elena took Bonnie's hand, dragging her along as she followed the blonde through the crowds and towards the bar that was packed with punters. They watched as Caroline climbed onto the bar and walked along it, swaying her hips. All the guys started whistling as she turned around, ushering with her finger to Elena and Bonnie to get up with her as they laughed, lifting themselves up onto the bar and joined her.
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na
I wanna start a fight
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na
I wanna start a fight!
So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
Grinning, the girls began following each other in sync as they started side stepping along the bar, clapping to the beat as they laughed and flipped their hair back and spun around so their back was towards the crowd and did the same in the other direction. Everyone was whistling and cheering, watching as the girls spun around on the bar and done the same thing again, cracking up. They never had fun like this when Elena's parents were around, she was forbidden to have fun. God forbid she stood up her parents.
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
Damon pushed the door open as he walked into the Grill and looked around, seeing the place buzzing as he let out a groan. HE wanted a nice peaceful drink and he got THIS. Teenagers all booze riddled and out of their heads, not knowing their ass from their elbow. Looking at them, he seen them all cheering and their attention seemed to be focused on one place in particular.
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight
Looking up at the bar, his eyes widened slightly as he seen her. Elena. The girl who had possessed his mind ever since their meeting. He watched her laughing and clapping as she danced around the bar, a grin on her face as she went crazy. Wow, last seeing her she seemed like a quiet, shy girl, but then what did he know? Maybe she was like Katherine?
Uh, check my flow, uh
The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Simp, shit!
I guess I'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll know how to hit
What if this song's on the radio
Then somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na
He's gonna start a fight
Na-na-na-na, na-na, na
We're all gonna get in a fight!
The crowd began following the girls steps as they laughed and shook their head. The madness of it all, that's what made the brunette laugh. It was mental because of what they had started. The crowd were in their groove and Elena was so busy watching them that she didn't expect to be pushed by Caroline and Bonnie. Shrieking in surprise, she fell onto the crowd as she began crowd surfing. Laughing, she leaned her head back and let loose as she pumped her fist, grinning like a crazy fool.
So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight
Feeling herself drop, she let out a gasp and closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the impact to hit her. When she didn't feel hard concrete against her face, she slowly opened her eyes as she came to face with two piercing blue eyes, her heart picking up speed as she remembered those eyes.
"Damon." Elena murmured soflty as he lowered her to the ground, his eyes lingering on her again as a blush crept across her cheeks.
You weren't there
You never were
You want it all
But that's not fair
I gave you life
I gave my all
You weren't there
You let me fall
So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight
No no, no no
I don't want you tonight
You weren't there
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight
"Elena." Damon greeted, a smirk grazing his lips as he licked his lips, hearing the pace of her heart change rapidly, "Did you miss me?"
