"Well hello hunter" Damon said to Meredith without even turning to look at the girl, he could feel her staring at him while she leaned against the door of her and her friends'room.

"Where are you going Damon." It was more of a statement then a question.

Finally turning to look at the slim, athletic girl he could see she had to be on an evening run. From the exercising clothes to the thin layer of sweat covering her olive toned skin. He flashed her a 100 watt smile but as he met her cool gray eyes it fell.

"Away."

"Mhm, and how do you think Elena will react to your disappearance? Hmm?" She said, testing him, knowing Elena would be his vulnerable spot.

"Why I said goodbye, no "disappearance" there hunter." He said flashing her another smile that would have most college girls swooning, but Meredith didn't show the slightest reaction.

"Yes, I'm sure she'll see it that way." in a sarcastic tone that Damon had become accustomed to with Meredith.

He turned to walk away from her when the girl spoke.

"She loves you too you know." In a tone louder than before.

Without turning around to her face her, "I know.", and then he flew away into the night with his magnificent shining black feathers as a crow.

He wasn't positive on where he was going. A few places crossed his mind, but nothing certain.

He was flying, just flying. Until a familiar cry sounded through the night. A cry he knew well and couldn't ignore.

Redbird.
