It was Saturday, and Isabel had decided that since she didn't get home till late that she could at least sleep in a bit. It had been a busy day yesterday and she could use all the sleep she could get before another drama happened in her life.
A knock sounded on Isabel door before it opened a crack and she could hear her father's voice. "Isabel there's a boy here to see you."
Isabel raised her head frowning a little. A boy? Who could it be? Damon wouldn't dare come to the front door. Maybe Matt? Or Jeremy?
"Alright Thanks Dad." she answered and go out of bed. She looked at herself in the mirror as she yawned. She had sand in the corner of her eyes and her hair was a mess. Quickly she rushed to the washroom to wash her face and brush her teeth running a hand though her hair for that all the time she had before heading downstairs, she got down half way before she saw Tyler Lockwood standing there. That's right. She asked Tyler to pick her up and they'd head over to his house to start the project they had for History class.
"Tyler."
Tyler turned his head in the direction his name was being called. "Hey." He trailed off with a slight frown seeing Isabel standing in her Pjs. "You're not dressed." He finished. His frown disappeared when he realized this was the first time he'd actually seen Isabel in her Pjs and he wasn't going to object. He liked the view. "Unless that's what your wearing, then your right on time."
Isabel gave an apologetic look.. "Right! Project for History." She said snapping her fingers. "Give me five minutes." giving a small smile she turned back up the stairs before he had time to answer.
Tyler blinked. "Okay?" he felt a little awkward just standing in the main entrance waiting for her but that didn't mean he wasn't entitled to checkout her backside out as she headed back up the stairs. There was a faint smile on his lips. That balanced out the waiting for sure.
After working a few hours with Tyler on their project who seemed a little awkward when she mentioned they could do wolves but in the end agreed on it. She was heading over to see how Caroline was doing when just like magic her cell phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered as the soles of her brown swayed boots walked along the sidewalk towards the Hospital, she was in the middle of getting her licence and they only had one car, most of the time her dad had to use it for work so Isabel didn't get much time to practice.
"Issy!" the voice of the blonde she was just thinking about came through the other side of her cell phone.
"Caroline? I was just thinking about you? How are you?" Isabel was not only surprised she was calling her but worried for her friend.
"Can you come over please? I am freaking out and your the only one that knows what's going on with me being a blood sucking freak."
"Are you still at the hospital?"
There was a short pause before she heard Caroline's soft voice said. "No. I'm at my house."
"Okay. I'll be over there in a bit give me an hour." There was one stop she needed to make before heading over to her vampire friends household.
"Okay Just hurry please!" Isabel heard some desperation in her voice. Isabel would be over there as soon as she could, that's for sure. Being a newly made vampire, she's sure Caroline is having a hard time.
As Isabel came closer to the Salvatore Mansion she had hoped neither brothers were home at the moment for she wasn't quite ready to tell them another vampire was made. Taking a deep breath she looked around for a quick moment before heading towards the front door and then to the side of the house to see if one of the glass doors were open, for they have been from time to time, having been in this manor from time to time. After trying the third glass door she step into the large spacious manor and gave a small smile to herself she really did love this place, with old antics and the Victorian style housing. She could definitely image this once being the boarding house it use to be. Glancing down both end of the large hallways Isabel took a deep breath before quietly heading towards the basement. Not that it would matter one way or another if she was wearing heels on the dark wooden floors or not, because they would be able to hear her every move but having her boots stepping quietly gave her some comfit that no one was around.
Once she got to the basement she headed straight to the cooler, where the boys kept their blood packs. She was down here with Damon a few times, After finding out she knew him back when she was a little kid, she wouldn't dare admit it but they do have this odd relationship happening.
After opening the cooler and grabbing a few, and by few she means six or seven blood packs. She put them in her olive green satchel, that her dad got her a few years ago for a birthday present she quietly closed the cooler and headed back upstairs. She didn't find drinking blood out of a pack as disturbing as she might have thought, maybe cause right now she didn't want her new found vampy friend snacking on anyone including herself.
Everything was going smoothly she had made it upstairs with no hundred plus vampires asking her why she was intruding on their house, let alone stealing some of their supply of blood. Everything was going Smooth till she was about have way down the hall and a dark velvety voice spoke to her from behind.
"What are you doing here?" Isabel stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around putting a smile on her face for she already knew who it was.
"Looking for you, what does it look like?" Isabel asked casually.
Damon walked towards her, he wasn't far so the walk wasn't long. "Really? Looks more like Snooping."
"Here I thought Damon Salvatore liked having girls looking for him." She replied playing with his ego, but something in Isabel also knew that there was a part of her knew that even though he can be a complete and utter ass, there was something Isabel couldn't stay away from Damon Salvatore.
Looking down at her he asked. "What's in the bag?"
"Homework, I was just over at Tyler's." Though she was a little disappointed she didn't get to see Tyler's Uncle.
Damon gave a faint smirk when he heard Tyler's named, and Isabel wondered for that second what he was thinking about, or what scheme he had cooking up inside that head of his.
"Ah, the Lockwood's and how did that go?" He asked, and he looked liked he was generally interested in what she had to say, his blue eyes never leaving her olive green irises.
"It went fine, nothing you'd be interested in."
Damon gave a small smile. " You never know I could find whatever you're working on quite interesting." Damon gave another smile and was behind her with her bag within seconds.
"Damon! Give me my bag back!" Isabel called out. She knew if he found out what was in that bag, there was going to be a big problem and she wasn't quite ready to let them know Caroline was Miss. Vampire now.
"Oh calm down. I'll give it back." Damon said like it was no big deal taking something without asking.
Isabel gave a short impatient sigh. "Damon just give it back." She said holding out her hand and after a few second when he didn't she walked towards him, she needed that bag she had places to be.
Damon narrowed his ice blue eyes a little and smirks a little wickedly. His sense of humour was something Isabel didn't like. "Why is there something in here I shouldn't see."
"Maybe you should learn to ask before you take." Isabel retorted as Damon tried to open the green billabong bag. "I never was one to follow rules very well." he grinned cockily fiddling with the two straps on the bag. " how the hell.." he trailed off , Isabel gave a cockily grin of her own. "seems like you just weren't meant to-" she was cut off by Damon's proud face that he had gotten the bag open. Isabel's face dropped. she knew she couldn't go anywhere cause he could beat her in every aspect. Fishing a bag of blood out of the bag Damon looked up at Isabel cocking his head to the side. "Maybe you should learn to ask before you take."
Isabel gave a small cheeky smile. "I was never good at following rules very well."
The last thing Isabel saw before Damon was in front of her, was him rolling his eyes at her. A light gasp escaped Isabel's mouth for Damon was extremely close to her. "Did you want try that a again?"
"As much as I'd like to try eating snails."
Damon gave a sneering smile and tried to keep his cool. He glanced down quickly at the dark hardwood floors.
"Isabel." he started with a smile so sweet Isabel could see the under tones of it.
Isabel had no time to blink she was slammed up against the wall of the old boarding house, all she could remember is her hands trying to pull Damon's grip from around her throat. "Damon let me go." she chocked out.
"Isabel just answer the question." Damon said
She closed her eyes tight, her hands pulling tightly at his hand, but she knew it was hopeless for he had vampire strength. The next thing surprised the both of them. Isabel could feel Damon's grip loosening along with a sound that sounded as if he was in pain. Isabel's eyes flashed open as she saw Damon crumble to the floor. Pushing his hand away she thought quickly for she knew that when he regained himself that he would be after her like a flame to gasoline so she bent down and grabbing his left hand she went to pull of his ring, knowing he wouldn't be able to go outside in the sun. She jumped a little when he grabbed her wrist trying to stop her but she grabbed the ring pulling it off his finger. She didn't want him following her To Caroline's she was afraid for what he might do to her. She knew the story of how Matt's sister Vicky ended up.
"No!" Damon called slowly groggily picking himself up. Isabel glanced at him as she quickly stuffed the ring in her pocket before quickly racing towards her bag containing the blood and heading quickly towards the front door. She could hear Damon getting up and knew if she didn't get into the light of the sun that she was going go be in a heap of trouble. Hell she knew she was gonna be in a lot of trouble when night came, but she'll worry about that when it came.
"Get back here!" Isabel could hear Damon yell as she closed in on the door and after shed unlocked the door and got it open she took one more glance back to see where he was, and couldn't see him insight. As she went go step out she felt someone grab her the back of her shirt. "Not so fast."
Isabel pushed forward hearing her shirt rip in the process and a slight sizzling sound like something was being burned. As she stumbled out into the sun she pulling the olive green bag on her shoulder looking back just in time to see Damon holding his right hand with a nasty look on his face.
Isabel let out a loud sigh pushing some black hair that had fallen in her face as she started her walk towards the Forbes house. She knew she didn't have to grab the blood but there were a few reason why she had to. 1.) her own safety for when she went to see Caroline. 2.) Caroline and herself had become close friends. 3.) going to a hospital had a lot more residents she had to look out for, at the Salvatore mansion she just had one psychotic vampire and one friendly rabbit eating vampire. Maybe she was a little crazy thinking the hospital was more dangerous.
Isabel's mind wandered to how she managed to get Damon on his knees. She doesn't remember having any magical powers or super strength. Maybe vampires suffer from something and it was just her luck. Whatever happened she was glad it did.
As she came up to Caroline's door and knocked on the white door. "Caroline it's Isabel."
"Izzy oh I'm glad your here, come around back."
Isabel glanced around before heading to the back of the Forbes house. She didn't want anyone seeing her for it might look weird like she was breaking in.
As she came up to the back door, she heard Caroline's voice again. "It's open."
With that Isabel open the back door that led Ito the kitchen and about fifteen feet from there was Caroline standing she gave a small shy wave. "Hey."
Isabel smiled and closed the door after her. "Hey, sorry I took so long had some drama on the way over."
Caroline nodded. "Oh? What kinda drama." she asked staying in the doorway of the kitchen making sure none of the suns rays touched her.
Isabel knew Caroline would wonder where she got the blood from.
"Let's just say. Damon Salvatore has bad sharing habits."
"He doesn't know about me though right?"
Isabel shook her head. "Of course not, that's the drama part." Isabel pulled out the daylight ring that belonged to the older brother. "He wont be coming after us anytime in the day."
Caroline gave a smile. "Izzy your amazing you know that, how'd you even get it off his finger?"
That's a very good question and she'd answer, if she knew the answer herself. Stuffing the ring back in her pocket she gave a small shrug. "Honestly I don't know."
Caroline gave a confused look. "You don't know? How don't you know? Izzy."
"Look I just don't okay I promise if I knew I'd tell you but I don't. Now do you want the blood I have or not?"
Caroline gave a small smile. "Yep sure do, even if I do think it's Kinda gross."
"You and me both." Isabel replied opening the green satchel and taking the blood packs out and putting them on the counter. It didn't take her long to get here so the blood still should be good enough to...drink. "Well Bonaparte ."
"Could you shut the kitchen blinds first please? I rather not fry. I'm all for a tan but that would be over kill."
After lsabel closed the blinds Caroline stepped slowly into the kitchen.
"Thanks again Izzy." Caroline gave a smile and then bit her lip gently.
"If you don't wanna watch I can meet you in the living room after."
Isabel shook her head as an idea came to her. "Why don't we put that in a cup? Wash it before your mom comes home." She said as she reached for a mug in the cupboard above her. The mug was tall, she figured the more blood Caroline could fit in there the better she had of getting it all finished before some real drama happened and Liz came home, along with it, doesn't look as odd drinking out of a plastic bag. Seven blood packs later and they were in a plastic shopping bag back in Isabel's shoulder bag. Caroline was being to sound like herself again, and the two girls were up in her room talking fashion, and even squared in a bit of vampire talk. Isabel still was wondering about how she managed to get a vampires strength from around her.
"Alright I know that look, what's bugging you?"
Isabel glanced at her blonde friend. "Nothing, everything is fine."
"Everything is not fine, that look says something deeply happened with Damon Salvatore and I don't know what to do about it."
"I didn't even-" Isabel started before she got cut off by Caroline.
"Yeah but Damon Salvatore is an ass and you somehow managed to take his ring, which would be impossible since he wouldn't let you get near it. So what happen."
"That's the point I don't know what happen Caroline."
"Well what do you think happened?"
Isabel gave a little sigh, it can't be that stupid since her best friend is a vampire.
"Well." Isabel started.
"Stop." Caroline said. "I can hear someone." she looked down at the glass of blood she was drinking.
"Stay here with that" she pointed at the mug "And I'll go check. Okay?" Isabel said, as she headed for the door. She was glad someone came for she didn't really want to tell Caroline what happened till she figured it out herself.
Walking down the hall towards the stairs Isabel tired to look like she wasn't searching for someone. As she came to the stairs she slowly went down them, the wooden floor boards creaked as her weight fell upon them. Stepping on to the cold hardwood floors Isabel glanced around the living room before she headed towards the kitchen.
"Isabel?" a female voice came from behind her. "What are you doing here? Where's Caroline?"
Isabel turned around and gave a smile towards the older women in front of her. Liz Forbes.
"Sheriff Forbes. Its nice to see you, I was just collecting a few things for Caroline that she wanted for the fair tonight."
"Oh okay." Liz gave a smile. "Well hope you find them."
"Thanks." Isabel gave a fake smile, wanting the sheriff to leave as soon as possible. With that Caroline's mom headed for the kitchen. Isabel sighed and headed back upstairs
