Damon sat in at the wheel of his car, Elena sat beside him in the passenger seat and he was finding it hard to keep his eyes off her. For the first time in what seemed like forever, everything was fine. No raging witches, no hybrids, nothing. Everything was just fine.

Until it wasn't.

Damon flashed his eyes over to Elena, her smile was infectious and he grinned at her. His eyes were off the road for only a second but that was long enough for the girl with the grass green eyes to step out into the road and end up splayed out across the spider web cracks on the windscreen. Time stopped and neither Elena nor Damon could move.

The girl's eyes stared into the car, blonde curls a mess around the pale skin of her face. "Damon," Elena said, her voice barely above a whisper. Damon didn't reply, he couldn't take his eyes away from the girl's face. "Damon," Elena repeated and Damon held his hand up to her,

"Give it a second." He told her, his eyes never leaving the dead girl's face.

Sure enough a moment later the girl's eyes flickered and she took in the deepest breath her lungs would hold. Elena's eyes were wide as the girl pulled herself up off the bonnet of the car, the sound of bones clicking back into place was horrifying.

The girl stood with her back to the car and twisted her neck back into place then shook out her mass of yellow curls. "Damon?" Elena said again and the girls head whipped round to face them, her eyes narrowed. Then her mouth spread out into a grin.

"Do I have your attention now, Damon?" She asked, her eyes shining brightly.

Silence filled the car as Elena looking at Damon, she was confused and a little scared and needed answers. She didn't get any, instead Damon opened the door and got out of the car. He walked over to the girl and she was smiling with nothing but happiness, until Damon snapped her neck. He then picked up her body and gently put her in the trunk before climbing back into the driver's seat and driving away.

Elena watched him, horrified. "Damon, what's going on?" She demanded. He told her he'd explain but they needed to lock the girl up first.

The drive back to the Salvatore House was silent. Damon pulled the car to a stop outside the front door and asked Elena to go inside and find Stefan, she reluctantly followed orders. A few minutes later Damon was stood leaning against the trunk of the car and Elena came back out of the house followed by an irritated looking Stefan. "Elena tells me you've brought a friend home?" He questioned. Damon tapped the car and Stefan walked over and lifted the trunk, the irritation on his face faded into worry as he saw the girl laying there, her neck twisted at an awkward angle.

"Get her inside. I'll call Klaus." He said and shut the trunk firmly and went back into the house.

"Will someone please tell me what is going on?" Elena asked, "Who is she? Why is Stefan calling Klaus?"

Damon lifted the trunk again and pulled the girl's lifeless body out and into his arms. He began to walk to the house as he spoke, "A long time ago, while I was travelling through Europe I met a girl." He continued to speak as he made his way down the steps to the cells in the basement.


First chapters will always be hard for me but hopefully this one doesn't suck too much. I haven't wrote a Vampire Diaries Fic in quite a long time but I recently found interest for the show perk up once more and ideas flowed so I thought I'd give this one a go. Hope you like it.
