The chill in the air would've bit at any human's skin, but Damon Salvatore was far from human. His dead flesh was probably colder than the winter temperature. He strolled down the nearly barren streets of the downtown area of Mystic Falls, a small, though thriving town in Virginia.

The sun had long since set, leaving behind the cool bluish-black shadow of the night to cover the world. If anyone was bored or stupid enough to be out at this hour, they were surely in a warm bar getting drunk. They were always so much easier and fun when they were under the influence.

Damon was familiar with the town and knew where all the hotspots were. He stepped inside the Mystic Grill, a restaurant/bar located in the center of the street. A young blonde boy greeted him. "Do you need a table, sir?"

"Nope," Damon grinned, "I'm heading straight for the bar."

Countless eyes burned into the thick leather jacket covering Damon's back as he made his way through the maze of tables to the bar. He couldn't help but smirk at the reaction, regardless of how familiar it was to him.

He sat down in one of the available barstools and ordered a scotch on the rocks. He took small, leisurely sips at first while his piercing eyes scanned the room filled with potential meals. There were many females who had chosen to maintain their stares. However, it was the group of girls in a corner booth that caught his attention – namely because they weren't staring.

Upon a closer examination, though, Damon almost choked on the next sip of alcohol. His eyes narrowed at the girl with the long brunette hair. How…how was this even possible? She looked exactly like Katherine. But, Katherine was dead, wasn't she? No, Damon decided, this wasn't Katherine – couldn't be Katherine. She looked too innocent, too kind.

He exhaled an unnecessary breath as relief and curiosity crept through his being. Well this night just got interesting, he thought, downing the rest of his drink before starting another.


Caroline knew that time was passing much faster than she preferred. Her mother, the town's sheriff, had insisted that she followed a strict curfew of 1 A.M. She rolled her eyes at the very thought. She was a senior in high school, not some child. Surely she could figure out when she should go home.

And though there weren't any boys involved in tonight's outing, she couldn't deny that she was enjoying herself. Elena was finally getting over her break-up with Matt. Bonnie hadn't mentioned a single word of her grandma's drunken witch mumbo jumbo. There was just laughter and an occasional illegal beverage or two – a relaxing break from the high school drama.

"So, I think my brother has the hots for you," Elena teased, pointing a French fry at Bonnie.

Bonnie shook her head in playful doubt. "How do you know that?"

"I only heard him saying your name in his sleep last night."

Caroline spat out the drink that was in her mouth and laughed. "Aw, you're the girl of his dreams!"

Bonnie blushed and tried to laugh it off. "It would never work. I've known Jeremy my whole life and I'll always only know him as your kid brother."

"Should I tell him to cancel the wedding?" Elena laughed.

At the sound of Bonnie's stunned silence, Elena and Caroline collapsed with laughter before being able to catch their breath. "That did it, now I have to pee," Caroline announced, sliding out of the booth and clinging to the edge of the table to steady her balance.

She walked over to the restroom and pushed the door open, gasping as her eyes met the eyes of a remarkably attractive stranger. His stunning looks seemed to act as a momentary distraction from all the blood behind him.


Damon's mind had planned out countless scenarios that provided reasons why the brunette couldn't be his meal tonight. She offered so many possibilities and answers to so many questions. So, he finished his third drink and approached the first easy target in sight. Not wanting to waste any time convincing a stubborn human to do his bidding, he immediately compelled her to come with him into the restroom.

He admired the lavish décor in the restaurant's restroom as he shoved the girl up against the stone wall and locked the door, all in one swift movement. "As much as a I enjoy the slow kill, I'm going to have to do this quickly," he sighed.

The girl's eyes widened. "W-what did you say?"

Damon smirked darkly as he took in the pleasurable sight of fear. "I'm going to kill you," he replied in a chipper voice.

She went to scream, but he stopped her. He lunged forward, using his vampire strength to crush her throat. The only noise she was able to produce was a wheezing gurgle. "You should consider yourself lucky," he snarled, his face mere inches from hers. "Normally this would be painfully dragged out."

His veins boiled and surfaced under his eyes, crawling out like demonic worms. Next, his fangs descended from his gums. It may be hard to believe that a couple sharpened canines could produce so much carnage, but the animal inside him made it possible. He positioned his body right up against her, giving her hardly enough space to gasp for air.

He reached down slowly for her right hand. A vampire could either bite the neck or the wrists for the quickest kind of death. For a moment of variety, Damon chose the latter option. He bit down into her wrist, his mouth completely devouring all flesh and vein in between. His teeth slid past her skin without any protest. He kept one hand wrapped tightly around her throat, efficiently silencing her.

The blood didn't seem to be flowing out of her thin veins fast enough. An animalistic grunt racked his chest as he slid his fangs up her arm, slicing two thin lines upward. Her flesh separated into nice, clean cuts. Blood began leaking into large puddles on the floor. Damon moaned into his bite, shoving her bloody arm up against the wall to bite into another portion. The blood smeared across the rough surface, surely causing her even more pain.

It didn't take much longer before she collapsed in his arms, a fresh corpse. Damon licked his lips, grinning like a wolf. That gave him just the right amount of energy needed to go pursue Katherine's twin.

He propped the window above one of the stalls open and dragged the body into the stall. He left her sitting there while he washed some of the blood off her hands, watching the diluted crimson substance spin down into the drain. As he threw out a clump of paper towel, he unlocked the door, silently hoping for dessert to come walking in.

And much to his surprise, a blonde girl strolled in just seconds later. He could tell that she was mesmerized by his looks, not that he blamed her. He stopped just short of attacking her once he recognized the face. She was sitting with his mystery girl. He could use her to play his game.

He opened his mouth to compel her, but noticed her impressed stare transform into a look of horror. To be fair, the blood was everywhere and fairly hard to miss. He sighed, speeding her up against the bloody wall. He caught her stare again, and this time she couldn't look away.

"Forget about what you saw. You're going to go back to your friend with the long, straight hair and tell her that she has caught someone's interest. Then wait a couple minutes and look for me. Bring her to me."


A/N: So here's the new story I've been working with. It's going to be more of a horror/romance than anything else. There will be gore. There will be sex. And. There will be evil Damon ;)

The next chapter of The Boarding House should be up sometime tomorrow. I'm almost done writing the chapter, but got distracted with fourth of july celebrating and working on this story lol

Well, as always, reviews are greatly appreciated. I know this chapter was pretty short, but it's just giving you a glimpse at how Damon really is. Elena will eventually see this side of him, and that is where the fun begins.

And lastly, my birthday is about 2 hours away so I'm glad I got SOMETHING up before then :)
