Someone Who Loves You
My OC and Damon Salvatore and some Stelena too. I just thought Damon needed someone to love him. Takes place sometime before Katherine gets out of the tomb and Elijah dies. So sometime between Daddy Issues and Crying Wolf (just pretend their was time between the two episodes).
My eyes blinked open, and I found myself alone, somewhere in the dark. My mind was in a cloud and nothing was clear. I felt as if I'd been in a pool of unconsciousness for too long, and suddenly nothing made sense. I had no recollection of where I was, or even who I was. The forms I eventually noticed were surrounding me were trees, but they were unfamiliar and dark. I cried out in fear.
A small voice caused Stefan Salvatore to jerk awake in alarm. His girlfriend, Elena Gilbert, feeling his sudden movement from were she was curled up next to him, stirred and then opened here eyes, "Stefan?" She questioned her voice thick with sleep.
"Its okay, Elena. It's nothing, I think." He laid himself down from where he had been startled into a sitting position and wrapped his arms around Elena. "Everything's okay," He murmured reassuringly, closing his eyes.
Anther cry sounded a second later, this time causing them both to jump up, "Did you hear that?" Elena asked, alarmed, her eyes wide and mouth agape.
"Yes," Stefan said. He got out of the bed and walked over to his open attic window, peering out into the darkness. By the time he heard the third cry, he was positive. "There's someone out there."
Elena jumped out of bed, "Their in trouble. Come on, Stefan, we have to go out there."
"No," He said disapprovingly, "I have to, you need to stay here."
"If there's someone here, Stefan, you'd bee leaving me unprotected, at least if I go with you-"
"Fine, climb on." He said, lifting her so she was riding piggyback style on his back. He hopped down from his window and let her down, "Okay, let's go,"
They walked into the darkness.
Droplets of water started pouring from the skies, hitting my body bitterly, sending chills up my spine. I couldn't see anything but black and the shadows of trees, couldn't feel anything but wind and rain, leaving a trail of Goosebumps on my skin. I wrapped my arms around me, knowing that I'd heard that that was the best way to preserve body heat. What body heat, my body seemed to only know cold, only have ever felt the chill of darkness.
I shivered, my cries fading slowly into whimpers and then to whispers. My mouth caught the rain, the moisture causing my dry throat to painfully lust for more, my mouth to feel like moistened cotton. I laid like that a long time, my body unable to move, unable to attempt at even sitting up. My eyelids started to grow heavier, my body started to shut down.
"Hello? Is there anyone out here!" The cries were distant at first, and then they slowly grew closer, and then more distant. I managed to pry my eyelids opened, managed to find enough hope to resume screaming.
"Help! Please, Oh please, just help me!"
I held weakly onto the hope they'd hear me, "Help!" I called louder.
"Over there, there's someone over there." A girl's voice declared. My prayers had been answered.
"Help!" I called again.
My response was the rustle of hurrying footsteps, the cries telling me what I'd already been told, "We're coming!" It was a male's voice.
Suddenly there were two people in front of me, a teenage boy and a teenage girl. The girl seemed oddly familiar as they got down on their knees in order to look at me. "She must be freezing, Stefan, can you do anything?" The girl begged.
"Yeah," He said taking off his leather jacket. He put it around me, and then gently picked me up, "We've got to get her to the boarding house."
Suddenly we we're moving, the rocking motion filling me with exhaustion. My eyelids drooped, my mind went fuzzy, and there was nothing to keep me from passing out. Held in gentle, warm arms, I met the darkness.
Elena's POV
I realized who it was the second Stefan put her down in the well lit up boarding house, "Lydia!" I yelled out.
"Elena?" Stefan questioned as I took in a sharp gasp, "Are you okay?"
"Lydia."
"What? Who?"
"She's…she's my sister. Lydia. Uncle John's second child. She's a half a year younger than me. Before I just thought she was my cousin, but now I know that she's my half-sister. I forgot all about her in the midst of everything that was going on. She was attending a boarding school when she went missing. A year and a half ago."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Well then how did she end up way out here-?"
"How did who end up way out here?" Damon asked as he walked in the room. Noticing Lydia, his face went from surprised to confused, "Who's she? And why does she look so…? Ahh…did Stefi decide to that the bunny diet wasn't enough again? You know what they say, a growing boy needs a-"
"Shut up, Damon," I said, harshly, "She's my half-sister. We found her out in the woods." I sat down next to Lydia and pulled the blanket off of the couch to cover her with. Then I put my hand on her forehead, "Well, I don't think she's hurt, just cold, wet, and sick. She has a fever, but I guess we won't know bad anything is until she wakes up." I said to Stefan.
Memories came onto me like a Tsunami, and I started to recall certain things. Hugging my father and cousins goodbye, walking into the new school as I held my head up high. Tears falling down my face at night as the lonliness overcame me, swept into the room as if carried by the darkness. Walking across the school's wide lawn that night…then nothing.
I found strength as the world came back to me, and I managed to open my eyes, eyes that had felt to weak to open before, but now felt at ease and strong.
"Is she awake?" The same male voice I heard not long before asked, "Lydia, can you hear me?"
I managed to connect my mind with my body and sit up, "Who are you?" I asked the two males in the room. One raised his eyebrows and gave me a flirty eyes.
"I'm Damon, It's a pleasure," He said, taking my weak, shaking hand and kissing it.
"Stefan." The other said stressfully.
"You don't-" Elena, my cousin stopped herself, "I'm-"
"Elena. It's been a very long time, hasn't it?"
"About two years," She said nodding, "Are you okay,I mean-"
"Two years, I only went to the boarding school a half a year ago…" I trailed off, thinking. What had happened when I walked across the lawn that night? And how had I got to be in the middle of a forest, and then in a boarding house with two hot guys and my cousin? "Wait, I don't…where am I, really? Are we in Virginia?"
"Yes…you mean you don't remember going missing?"
"No, I remember that I was walking back from dinner, walking across the lawn towards the dorms, and then I don't recall anything after that. It's so confusing. Even that night's a blur." I shivered in fear of the unknown and the sudden cold, wet feeling I was feeling.
"Oh my god, I totally forgot you were sick and wet and cold, Stefan do you think you could prepare a bath. Lydia, are you hurt anywhere?"
"I feel fine, just a little cold." I said, shivering, and wrapping the blanket I was wearing tighter around myself.
"I'll go get you some clothes to change into. Stay here with Damon." She said as she was getting up and heading to the hall. She stopped and turned to Damon, "I hear you tried anything and I'll…"
"No would I ever do anything like that." He said giving her an innocent look.
"Yes, yes you would." She said before finally disappearing.
As soon as she was gone, Damon turned to me, a curious smile appearing on his face, "So…what do you know about vampires?"
