Chapter 2.
Damon was frozen as she stared at the smile on Aya's face.
"What are you talking about?", he said, trying to look confused so that she wouldn't suspect anything. Is she on vervaine, he thought to himself. He couldn't think of any other reason as to why she can't be compelled but he also couldn't understand why she would be using an herb that is the only weakness of vampires. For one, that plant is really rare. And there doesn't seem to be any other vampires near this place.
"Come on. Don't act like you don't know. I saw your face. Your vampire face.", Aya insisted. Damon couldn't make sense of the excitement on Aya's voice and face. Why does she seem so happy to know that he is a vampire?
"You don't have to pretend. I'm a vampire, too. That's how I know. I saw your face. I make that face, too, you know.", Aya explained with excitement.
Damon stood there still dumbfounded by the turn of events. She was a vampire? There was so much he doesn't understand. Like where's her daylight ring.
"Okay, I won't deny it. I'm a vampire, just like you. And I was looking for someone to feed on. Clearly, you are not the right choice for that. So just forget about this and carry on with your life. I'm going to leave now." Damon said, turning to flee the scene.
"No, wait! Please stay. I haven't met anyone like me before. Please. I need to talk to someone like me. There's so much i want to ask. Please.", Aya pleaded him.
Damon stared at her thinking about what his next move would be. Staying is not a bad idea. It's not like he's in a hurry or anything. He has all the time in the world. Plus, teaching her would be some sort of distraction he never had before. Maybe it would help. He could at least try.
"Fine.", Damon said sounding a little bit annoyed.
Aya smiled and exhaled with happiness. She took his hand, "Let's go some place we could talk".
