Not Such a Monster
Chapter 1
Saturday,6:36 in the morning and someone was calling me. I hated this person. With a groan and eyes half open I reached out to my phone that rested on my bedside table and brought it to my ear.
"Hello?" came out gruffly.
"Um, hello, middle aged man answering Elena's phone."
Of course! Damon. "What are you doing?" Now said in my regular but sleepy voice.
"Well, with all the attempts made on your life in recent times I felt it my duty to start calling you at random to see you're still alive."
"…"
"You're angry, aren't you?" I could just see the smile on his face.
"No, not angry, TIRED." followed by a yawn.
"Ah, damn it." He said with what I think was fake disappointment or something ,I dunno. Its early.
"Do you actually want something?" Great, I'm waking up, will never get back to sleep now.
"Now you mention it there is a slight issue at my house I need your help with."
"I think the kind of 'issues' you have are more suited to Stefan."
"I'm not sure where my dear brother is so you will have to do."
Now I'm awake "Where is he?"
"As much as I love the sound of your voice, really I do," No idea if he was being sincere or ,you know, himself, "but the problem over here isn't getting any better so get your ass out of bed, get dressed and get over here."
Now I'm a little scared "Damon, what's going on? Stefan's missing? Have you-"
"See you soon, sweetie." And with that he hung up.
"Damon?" No answer. I sighed, putting my phone down "Shit." I jumped out of bed and dressed quickly, must have only been minutes since Damon so rudely hung up on me and here I was halfway down my street speeding to the Boarding House.
Something's happened to Stefan, was all I could think. But what? Held hostage? (again) Back on human blood? Has he just left, if he has, why? It even crossed my mind Damon may have done something to him. With all my freaking out I got to their house in what felt like a very short time.
Planting three loud knocks on the door, it didn't take long for him to open it and I hurried my way in.
"Did you have-" He started to say, but I interrupted him.
"What's going on, Damon? You call me in the-" Now I was interrupted, by what sounded like a cats cry.
"Did you guys get a cat?" I asked, puzzled.
"No,Stefan would gnaw on it all the time and it wouldn't like being gnawed on, it would just be very messy."
"So what is that?" He gestured to the living room and that's where I went, followed by him.
I scoffed at what I saw. I almost couldn't believe my eyes, not really something you'd expect to see in a vampires house or around Damon, ever.
"You have a baby?" I almost felt like laughing.
