Chapter 2
Brave new world
I looked at the girl at my front door in shock, she started to look a bit uncomfortable, "umm I can come back later if your busy" she said. "Um-what sorry no, its fine sorry about that sometimes I start to daydream out of no were", she stated to laugh "um it's ok, let's start over. My names Elena gilbert I live next door, I saw you pull up and thought I should say hi to you guys and y'now welcome you". She seemed nice to me, heck she could've been worse. I didn't expect to meet her like this, but what luck she's my next door neighbour, now to establish this friendship. "Hi Elena my name's summer, summer Anderson". She looked shocked to find this out "Anderson? As in the missing founding family Anderson" "yep, that's me" "well it's really nice to meet you summer. Um there's a carnival later on you should definitely come". Great I just got my first invite I am so in, "I would love to come Elena thanks." "It's no problem, I gotta head out now I have to go to the hospital my friend's there so I'm gonna go visit her". After that we pretty much went our own ways.
"Who was that at the door "said Blake as he come bounding down the stairs with a confused look on his face. Blake was basically the complete opposite looking from me. While I had long dark brown hear with green eyes, he had strawberry blond hear with hazel eyes. Ergo he gets the girls because apparently he's 'dazzling' yuck whatever girlies, he mostly uses them because he is a man whore anyway but hey I'm one to talk I guess.
"It was our neighbour, Elena gilbert" his eyes went wide as he just registered what I said. "Elena gilbert, as in the Katharine look alike gilbert" "mmhm" I say with a smirk on my face. He gives a brief laugh "so it's all falling in place then, I was kinda hoping for some more time" he saying as his eyes start to look a bit sad. I quickly walk up to him and give him a hug, he returns it. I then look up to him "I know but it has to be done, sorry" he gives me a squeeze then let's go. "I'm gonna head out quickly get some food for the fridge, can you do the rest of the unpacking please" he asked with a pout "with or without powers" "you decision" "ok bring back some cookie dough ice cream please" I say walking out of the front door to get the rest of the stuff in the moving truck. So clearly since I haven't heard any growling or heard anybody scream wolf wasn't hear yet, yes I let him travel freely on his own to get here, that's only because he has his way of getting around which I still don't know how what it is. I mean c'mon how could nobody in the hospital see a giant wolf walk in and then come to my room it doesn't make sense, I try not to question it as I move the things into the house with it still in my hand. Cause it would seem a bit strange to people if they see stuff floating the air into my house.
I finish the unpacking and everything by the time Blake gets back, "wow" I hear as the front door closes "you really did it all before I came back" "well yeah that's what you asked so I didn't" he smiles and walks over to the kitchen with groceries in his hand. "So, I saw posters around town about this carnival things, are you going to it?" "Um yeah Elena invited me to it so I'm going to yknow go" he stared at me for a while and then sighed. "Ok yeah fine you can go, just be careful ok" "when am I not carful" "do I really need to answer that" I laugh and say bye to him. As I get into my care I have a feeling that someone's watching me so I keep alert throughout the whole ride until I get to the carnival.
I walk around for a while to look at all the games then I walk into someone. "Whoa sorry there" I look up and as I stare into these brown eyes I freeze. "Umm are you ok there, didn't like hurt you did I" "no you didn't sorry" "I'm the one that's sorry; I'm Jeremy, Jeremy gilbert". I can't believe it I've found him. A bright smile lights up my face, "I'm summer, Summer Anderson", "oh you're the new girl who just moved next door, I heard about you from my sister Elena" I was so busy staring at Jeremy I didn't even notice the guy coming up and grabbing him, by my guess it looks like he didn't notice me either.
"Have you seen Caroline Jeremy" "Caroline I thought she was in hospital" he answers the guy, the guy who just came I don't even need to ask who it is cause I already know. "Damon" I whisper, I then notice my mistake as he looks at me "have we met" he says as he looks me up and down.
I take a step back and regain my composure "no sorry who are you" he scrutinizes me for a while, then introduces himself "the names Damon and if you don't mind I need to get going, got things to go, places to be y'know how it is…" "Summer" "summer huh nice name, well see ya" he says as he walks off. "I'm sorry about that Damon can be a dick at times" "trust me I have had a lot of dicks in my like so I'm used to stuff like that" Jeremy stares at me and then I retrace my words and clock what I have just said. "Not like that when I said I've had a lot of ahem* I'm sorry I have to go"
I keep walking until an arm pulls me back "hey its ok sometimes I make a fool out of myself as well, are you hear by yourself" he asks "um yeah I was y'know wondering around, looking for an aim or something". He offers me to walk around with him and I accept hoping to work off the embarrassment from what was said before. As I walk I notice a something happening in the corner of my eye, I smirk as I notice what it is "ShowTime" I whisper. I look to Jeremy he seems pretty content with what he's doing, so I walk up to him "I'm gonna go to the bathroom quickly be right back" "ok" he says with a quick look in my direction then goes back to his game".
I walk over to what I assume is Damon trying to stake a blond girl "what are you doing" I say, they both turn to look at me Damon with a look of annoyance and the blond girl (who has blood around her mouth may I say) with a look of surprise and worry. "Get out of here" she screams and tries to get out of Damons grip "Damon stop" I hear and turn around to find Elena. A figure blurs past me and I turn back around. "Summer?" she says as she approaches me "are you ok, are you hurt what are you doing here". Think! I say to myself "I heard some screaming and came around the corner to find this" she looked at me with worry in her eyes. I look back at the situation to my right; Elena runs past me and starts begging Damon to leave Caroline alone. Duh Caroline that's who the blonde girl is, that must mean that the other guy is Stefan. I just stand there not knowing what to do "fine, but if anything happens it's on you" I hear Damon say "now what about her now, summer, what should we do about her" "nothing" I say they all look at me, I take a step forward. "I promise I won't tell anyone, please don't do anything to me" "how can we trust you" asks Stefan "I give you my word, just please don't compel me to forget" "how do you know about compelling" asks Damon, now he's really looking at me with her 'should I kill her or leave her' look. "I've come in contact with vampires before, two years ago" they contemplate this for a second but not before a dark skinned girl comes around the corner.
"Caroline" she looks devastated for a second as she looks from Caroline to the body (that I am just now noticing) to Damon and then to me, then back to Damon. "No you're not, you can't be" she then grabbed her arm, her face looked horrified then she quickly removed her arm. She started to step back, "I can't believe this is happening". Damon picked up a shovel and looked at me "well if you're gonna be a part of this group, you might as well make yourself useful" he said while throwing the shovel at me I glared at him "clearly Damon this isn't the time for this" he shrugged.
Bonnie turned to him and narrowed her eyes, all of a sudden Damon drop to his knees and started to scream in pain "Damon!" I ran over to him trying to look him in the eye "are you ok Damon, what's happening" I turned to bonnie "what are you doing to him" I shouted at her. "I told you what would happen if anyone got hurt" "I didn't do this" yelled Damon then water started to gush out of a pipe and wet him. "Bonnie this wasn't him" I yelled he just looked at me with surprise along with the others.
Then fire started to spread to him and over him, Damon started yelling in pain. 'I have to do something' I thought. I started to concentrate on the fire 'please work' I thought, it started to die down a bit, then Elena snapped her out of it. I released a breath and looked at Damon and he looked back at me 'this is defiantly not what I was expecting' I thought.
…..
Damon walked me home after that, "well that was an exciting 1st day" I said "it could have been worse, you could be dead". "Jeez thanks for the pick me up mate" "oh there's that British spunk that I was waiting for" I laughed at that, he just smirked at me then it left his face and he got all serious. "why did you try to save me" thank goodness we was just outside of my house, I could've just run in but he needed to know this "certain things need to happen, but one thing that doesn't need to happen is you being punished because of something somebody else did, it was just fair that's all". Damon looked slightly surprised at that then it was gone "are you sure that you didn't just save me because I'm hot and your hot too" then I really started laughing, he just stood there smirking at me. "I don't think that was the reason, but thanks for the complement" he shrugged and did this hot eye thingy "your welcome" then he turned and started to walk away "thanks for dropping me home" I shouted with a smile. He never turned around but he responded with a wave, I walked up the stairs and went in my house.
…..
Damon was walking by himself when a thought occurred to him, what did she mean by certain things need to happen. He stopped and turned back to see that she was gone, and then carried on walking.
….
"So how was the carnival then" asked Blake as I walked into the house. "Just as planned" I said with a smirk "excellent, it's all going to plan".
