Hey guys! I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has added my story to their favourites lists! It really means a lot, and as my first Fan fiction I find it really touching that people are even reading my story.
I would absolutely love it if you could review, I strive to be a better writer and as I am new to writing it would be much appreciated.
I forgot to mention that the story takes place anytime after season 2 epsiode 17 'Know thy enemy'. I have decided that as this is my first Fan fiction, actually it's the first story I have written in years, I am not going to link it in to much with what happens in the show. I may become more confident and change my mind but for now i'm going to let it be its own thing.
Thanks again for taking the time to read my story! xxx
Chapter 3 – A nasty surprise
Summers POV
As I finished my first shift at the Grill, I tried to forget the twinge of disappointment I felt when Damon left. I couldn't stand him, in fact I hated him. Damon Salvatore was an egotistical, smug, womanising vampire, so no; it could not have been disappointment. Anti climax that's what it was. I had gotten myself worked up by shouting at him and he left without acknowledging what I had said. Yes that was it. I suddenly felt much better after realising why I had felt so strange when he left. Right then Summer, what to do now? I wondered as I opened the door to the Grill and took a deep breath of fresh air. I didn't want to go home yet so I decided to take a walk around the town, look at the beautiful scenery.
As I walked along the glistening river by the Lockwood estate, I came across a notice board. There were many adverts but one in particular caught my eye. It was on a bright pink piece of paper and the title read 'Puurfect Kitties; Auditions Sunday 29th May at 14.00pm.' I had always loved music and my grandmother had paid for me to have singing lessons so I was a good singer, although I probably shouldn't say that. I was in a band when I was 16 and I had loved it. 'Do it Summer, you have 6 months to spend here, might as well do something fun.' I giggled as I tapped the address in my phone. Sunday was tomorrow, which meant I had only the evening to work out what I would sing. I felt rather excited at the prospect of being in a band again, I adored performing for people. 'I really hope I get it.' I worried as I made my way home to put together an audition.
I felt incredibly nervous as I walked into the room to which the auditions were being held. At the back of the room was a table which sat three incredibly attractive women.
'Hey, you must be Summer. My name Is Kate and these are my best friends Gemma and Janey.' The two girls said their hellos with beautiful white smiles.
'Try not to be too nervous hun; you look good already, I adore those shoes!' Exclaimed Kate. 'Start when you're ready.'
I thought it was humorous how serious they were taking it; they acted as if they were famous! I had decided to sing Adele's 'Make You Feel My Love' as it showed off my voice to a high standard, and it was also one of my favourite songs. I thanked Kate and then nodded to let them now I would be starting soon. I began to sing.
'When the rain is blowing in your face, and the whole world is on your case, I could offer you a warm embrace, to make you feel my love.' I sang loudly as I projected my voice across the room. I held on to my stomach as I belted out my favourite verse as powerfully as I could. 'The storms are raging on the rolling sea, and on the highway of regret, the winds of change are blowing wild and free, you ain't seen nothing like me yet!' I bellowed as my eyes scrunched up in concentration. When I open my eyes I saw Kate, Gemma and Janey staring at me with huge grins on their faces. 'I think they liked it Summer. I thought excitedly to myself as I waited for their comments.
'Wow. Just wow.' Whispered Kate.
'Amazing.' Gemma smiled
'Incredible.' Laughed Janey
'I think we have found our girl, ladies!' Said Kate as she stood up and walked towards me. 'Welcome to the team.' Kate offered me her hand and I shook it with a sense of pride. It was only a small local band but I felt like I had just won American Idol. 'GO SUMMER.' I screamed in my head.
'Wow! Really? Thank you so much! I need something to do in this place, and what's better than doing something you love.' I smiled up at Kate and wanted to hug her as I was so happy.
After my audition Kate, Gemma, Janey and I practiced every night for the following four days, as Gemma had landed us a gig at Tyler Lockwood's house on the Friday night. His mom was away for the weekend, so he was throwing a huge party. Tyler said he couldn't pay us but he said there would be lots of alcohol and it was an opportunity to get ourselves known. I had heard from Bonnie that practically every teenager at their school over the age of 16 was attending. I was really looking forward to it, I hadn't been to a party in months and I hadn't performed in years. I wasn't looking forward to the stupid outfits we had to wear, however. Kate had said we should wear clothes that would represent our name, so she had the idea of wearing cat suits. Leather cat suits. I was absolutely horrified at the idea; I didn't look good in a cat suit. I wasn't big not by any means, but I wasn't the slimmest person either. At a size 12 I learned to embrace my curves and I accepted my body, but there wasn't a chance in hell of me wearing a cat suit. I had managed to persuade Kate that it would be better if we wore jumpsuits, but when she showed me the ones she had bought for us it wasn't much better. They were leopard print and extremely tight with lots on show up top. I thought it was absolutely ridiculous that she was buying outfits like this; I mean we were an unknown, small town group not huge global stars. It was too late to buy myself another outfit though, so I had no choice. I just hoped against hope that Damon wasn't going to be there.
I first spotted him when we were on our seventh song of the evening. I was singing the words to Bruno Mars' Grenade, trying not to move too much in case my already much exposed breasts were to pop out completely and say hello to my audience. I was actually trying to find Bonnie, she said she would be coming, and as she was my cousin I wanted to know if she thought I was doing okay. As my emerald green eyes scanned many faces, I caught sight of a tall dark figure at the back of the room. His perfect ice blue eyes were staring right at me, boring into my skin. As usual he looked incredibly smug, but there was something else written on his face, that I couldn't work out. When he noticed me looking at him he grinned from ear to ear in the most annoying fashion I had ever seen. It seemed to take his lips forever to form into a smile. 'Dick!' I thought to myself as I looked away, pretending I didn't know it was him. I knew we only had 3 more songs to sing before we finished our set and was certain Damon was going to pounce on me the moment I got off of the stage. 'You seriously have it in for me up there don't you?' I cursed to the heavens. Why did he have to be here? I wanted to enjoy myself for one night, without having anyone or anything ruin it. I didn't think it was possible anymore. Damon seemed to show up where ever I went and I couldn't understand why.
'Wit-a-woo!' Damon whistled as my feet removed themselves from the stage. 'You are one sexy Kitten miss Adams.' He purred in my ear. 'Are you sure you don't want to come but to mine and have some fun.' He wrapped is muscley arms around my waist as he said this, causing me to stiffen in his uncalled for embrace. I honestly didn't know who on earth he thought he was, and I was tired of giving him the same reaction, it didn't seem to stop him from being any less of a dickhead. I needed to change my tactic and I Knew just how to do it.
'You know what Damon, you're right. I can't stay away from you any longer. I tried to stop myself because you are a very bad man Mr Salvatore and it's never good when I get involved with bad boys. I whispered seductively in his ear. 'It just so happens that tonight, I have had a little bit too much to drink and am on a high from the gig, and you know what?' I asked in a voice I didn't recognise as my own. 'I don't want this high to end. I want you Damon, and I want you know.' As I finished me sentence I nibbled his ear, and pulled away from his embrace. His eyes were full of shock and delight at finally succeeding in his plan to win me over. I began to walk away and turned around after a couple of steps and signalled Damon to follow with my finger I winked before I continued to walk on. I nearly lost my composure at that point because I knew Damon Salvatore would not be following me. I carried on walking biting my lip to stop myself from laughing and only turned around again when I was by the front door. When I saw him still stood there with anger, frustration and disappointment on his face I could no longer hold back my laughs and giggled uncontrollably for several minutes. Damon's head shot up when he heard me laughing and gave me the most venomous look imaginable, this only made me laugh more because he couldn't do anything; I had glued him to his spot, quite literally. When I had finally managed to get control of myself I mouthed the words 'I hate you, and don't forget it.' Then I turned around and made my exit. 'Sorry Damon, but you are going to be stuck there until I get home.' I whispered out load to myself. I saw Kate on my way to the car I bought cheap and said my goodbyes.
I couldn't stop laughing on the drive home. The thought of Damon Salvatore stripped of movement was hilarious to me, and knowing he believed he was going to have sex with me only made the trick sweeter. 'Take that Damon! I told you not to push me!' I giggled into the silence of my 1999 blue Nissan Micra. As I pulled up along the kerb outside Bonnie's home an uneasy feeling washed over me, like something bad was going to happen. I got out of the car wearily and looked around. Nothing. I still felt like there was a pair of eyes on me so I ran for the door, but something was suddenly in front of me menacingly blocking my path.
'Hello my sweet Summer, I have been looking for you.' I heard them growl as they grabbed my wrist in a vice like manner.
'Trent!' I choked.
