Here's chapter two! Please, enjoy. Oh and I've always imagined Jennifer Lawrence or Taylor Momsen as Alex.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own The Vampire Diaries or any of the characters, but I do own my main OC, Alexandra Madrigal. Please don't use her in any of your stories.
I woke earlier than I had planned to the next morning. I sat up, streaching and yawning. Pushing my duevt to the side, I swung my legs to the side of the bed. I pulled my ponytail out and ran a hand through my long blonde hair. I pushed up with my feet and stood up. Making my way towards the bathroom, I yawned, rubbing my eyes. I grabbed a towel from the towel rack, then turned on the shower. I started to take my clothes off as I waited for the water to become warm. I placed my hand under the running water then stepped in. I let the water soak in my hair before, poaring shampoo onto my hand then rubbing my hand on the top of my head, then ran my fingers down to the end of my hair. I then rinsed and repeted with conditioner. I then washed my body. When I was finshed I stepped out and wrapped the towel around my body tightly.
I made my way from the bathroom back to my bedroom. I changed back into my pyjamas and tied my hair up. I walked down into the kitchen, jumping as I heard a noise upstairs. Thinking it wsjust my parents, I continued walking into the kitchen. I brought a bowl out from the cupboard followed by the cereal then the milk and poured them into the bowl. I sat at the table and started to eat. I looked up and saw Damon. I blinked in shock but he was gone. I'm sure my mind was playing tricks on me now. But him, why? Of all people. Well, I guess we are friends.
Shaking it off, I moved my hand towards my mouth and placed the spoon in then back out. I placed my head in my hand, as I continued eating. When I finished I stood and rinsed my bowl, washed it and dried it. Finally placing my bowl back into the cupboard along with the rest.
"Alexandra? Are you sure you're going to be okay?" I heard my mom shout from upstairs.
"I'll be fine, honest, no need to worry mom!" I shouted back as I pulled my bag over my shoulder and left the house, shutting the door gently. I sighed and started to walk to school, as I don't have a car.
I walked rather quickly, not wanting to risk beeing late on my firsT day. It wasn't like going to a completly new place. I knew most of the people at the shcool. I started to think of my timetable, trying to remeber exactly what I had to day. Math. French. History. That's all I could remember. I started racking through my bag. I looked up as I heard a beep from a car. "Want a lift?"
I sighed and nodded, starting to make my way towards the car, I opened the door to the car and climed in. "Thanks, Damon. I appreciate it." I smiled as he smirked and started to pull away. I rested my head on my hand, with my elbow besides the window. "You don't go to school do you?" I looked over at him.
"Are you trying to say I'm old?" He raised an eyebrow, smirking as he looked over at me.
"Eyes on the road Damon. No, I'm not amplying that you're old. Not at all. That would be rude. I'm just meant, as you're a council member, I wouldn't think you were still at school." I smiled as he pulled into the school car park. "Thank you, again." I smiled and shut the door and waved slighty as I began to walk towards the school doors.
"Alex. Wait." He called, offering me a piece of paper. "Call if you want a lift home. And text later." I nodded and placed it in my pocket, smiling and walking back.
I looked back over and saw him driving away. I took a deep breath and walked in. I pulled out the map I was given earlier and made my way to homeroom. I looked around, remembering some faces. I took a seat in the midde, no one on either side of me, yet.
That repeted for most of my classes. Sometimes, I just took the only seat left. I tried to get there early, so I'd have a choice. Dinner was easy. I sat with Elena Gilbert, Caroline Forbes and Bonnie Bennet, they were there to help me when I got lost, so that was nice. Turns out Elena and Damon's younger brother, Stefen are a bit of an item. Stefen goes to our school. I wonder why Damon never metioned him.
After my last class had finished, I picked my bag up and pulled it over my shoulder. I walked out the door, chatting to a few friends. It was nice to catch up with them. It was all a bit overwhelmimg. I couldn't wait to get out of there and be at home. When I got out, it was raining, so I pulled my hood up and looked down as I walked out of the school gates. I thought about ringing Damon, but decided against it.
It took a while to get home, I rumeged through my bag, for a few seconds, trying to find my key. I unlocked the door and stepped in, closing it behind me. I placed my key in the pocket of my jacket, hanging it up and walking into the kitchen.
I pulled a glass from the cupboard, jumping and almost dropping the glass as the door opened. I looked around, it was shut. My second day back and I think I'm going insane. Walking over to the tap, I turned it on and placed the glass under, letting it fill up.
A few seconds past, when a hand reached over my shoulder and turned it off. I thought it was just my dad, so I turned around and started to tell him, how he scared me earlier. I looked up and realised he wasn't there. No one was. I walked out the kitchen and headed up to my bedroom. Something was going on, and I have to admit I was creeped.
I entered my bedroom, turning and checking the hall way before closing the door, I walked backwards into a large figure. I hadn't had the time to turn around before it tilted my head and gently pressed his lips against my neck. I tried to move away, but whoever or whatever was too strong. Naturally, I did what came as second nature and raised my foot into it's private parts. Even that didn'tseem to bother it.
I scream but it's hand went straight over my mouth. "Ssshhh." It said in a caring and reasuring voice. The voice was deep and I guessed it was a boys voice, the hand gave away thay whoever it was human. It can't be a Vampire, we haven't allowed anyone other that the council members into our house. My parents are both on rivain. I'm not, but again, I've only allowed council members. He's got to be a human.
I calmed down but my heart was still beating faster than normal. He started to walk towards the window, before relesing me and fleeing. I looked out the window, quickly and looked around. There was no one around. I turned and jumped as I saw a worried looking Damon standing in the door frame. "Are you okay? I heard a scream." He asked. I nodded, breathing slowly as my heart beat regonied it's normal pulse.
It didn't bother me that he had just walked in to the house. I was still in shock, sittimg on the bed. He closed the door and walked over and sat beside me, placing his arm around my back as a sign of comfort. "What happened?" He looked down at me, I looked back up and saw the concern in his eyes.
"I don't know. I heard the door open, when I was downstairs. I just thought I was going crazy, but then a hand other than my own turned the tap off. Then, I came up here and walked backwards into him. I tried to move but he was to strong, he moved my head and started kissing my neck. I screamed, but he stopped me. I didn't think anyone would here, he was so quick. I didn't understand why he was there. I thought he could of been a vampire, with his strength and speed. Though I've only let you in and my parents have only let council members in. It must of been a human. But he must of jumped out the window, although he would off left some sort of sign he was there, like blood. It's quite high up. I just... I don't know." I expalined. Damon nodded, listening to everything I said.
"You should keep your door locked, from now on and tell your parents." He said, stroaking my hair, from my face.
I nodded, knowing he was right. I live in a strange town, I should keep the door locked. "Thank you, Damon. I've think my mom and dad have just came in. Yeah, I can hear them." I stood up. "Come on, then. You can't stay here."
I walked out and shut the door when he left, following him downstairs. I ran a hand through my hair. I didn't know how to tell my parents. Normally, I wouldn't tell them. Then, I thought, why did I find the words so easily while telling Damon. I shrugged, looking up at my mom. "Damon? Alex? What's going on?" She asked.
"Mom. Dad. We need to talk." The nodded and followed me into the sitting room. They both sat down and I stood in front of them, explaining what had happened and why Damon was with me. My dad then stood up and walked over to Damon. I watched with confusion, noticing the stake in his pocket. I notcied his hand brush past it, but hesitate and he held it out, offering for him to shake.
"Thank you, Damon. What you did was kind and selfless. You didn't need to do that." I smiled as their hands met and shaked. Though I was slightly confused as to why my father hesitated when going to grab his stake. My father then saw Damon out. I noticed him whisper something in Damon's ear, then pulled his steak from his pocket. I rushed to see exactly what was happening, but he was just handing it to him, while hissing something quiet enougth, that I couldn't hear it. "Bye, Damon." He nodded and walked away.
My dad turned around and looked at me. "Be carefull. Especially around him. I don't trust him, that well."
"Is that why you gave him your steak?" I asked, raising an eyebrow, but he just ignored me and shut the door.
I walked up to my bedroom, shutting the window. I walked over and picked my phone up. I took the piece of paper, Damon gave me earlier. I typed his number and saved it. I typed "Hi, Damon. It's Alex." I sent it and throw it down on the bed. I walked over to the window, looking out. Jumping as my phone rang. I walke over and anwsered it. "Hello."
"Alex, it's Damon. I was just wondering if you'd like a lift to school, tomorrow?" He asked.
I nodded and smiled, eventhough I knew he couldn't see me. "Yeah, if you don't mind, thanks."
"Great. Well, I'll be at your house in a few minutes. We're going out. Wear something pretty." He hung up.
"What? Where?" I sighed, looked down at my phone, wondering what he meant. I didn't bother changing. I just walked down stairs and placed my jacket on, telling my parents I was going out, but leaving Damon out, knowing my dad would object. I don't know why I'm even going. I guess, because, I owe him or something. Honestly, I just think he's my only real friend around here. I looked out the window, seeing him pull up outside.I sighed and left.
Please review. Thanks for reading!
