If I Go Crazy, Then Will You Still Call Me Supergirl?
Ch.2
A Little History: Friday Night Bites Ep.3
Demi POV
I yawned as I awoke and looked to my side to see the guy from last night beside me shirtless. He was asleep, curled up, he looked almost adorable. I sighed as I moved under the comforter and turned my back to him. I shut my eyes so I could get a few more hours before he'd wake up. I felt the bed shift and kept my eyes shut. I heard his footsteps and kept still as soon as he took the last step to open the door I got up, "Good morning." He turned around and said, "Please don't!" I followed him all the way to the bed and he quickly grabbed a lamp. I moved towards him as I say, "Don't do that, ah, ah, ah, ah." He didn't heed my warning and swung the lamp at me. I gritted my teeth at the impact. Cameron freaked, "No! No! No! Get away from me! No!"
I watched as he threw a pillow at me, and I caught it. I could smell his delicious blood on it. I said, "This could have gone a completely different way." I grabbed the pillow and brought it to my face. He was delicious. I felt myself vamp out and without delay I grabbed Cameron and sank my fangs in him.
### &&&***###
I sighed as I stood in front of Cameron's mirror. He was changing behind me after this I would go to the boarding house and change. "So I missed the whole day." I rolled my eyes and answered, "Really? Hm. I didn't notice." He called "Yeah, well now you're going to take me to school!" I rolled my eyes and a second later he came out dressed for football practice. I asked, "I'm taking you?" He nodded and said "I can't be late to show the guys the new passes besides Blake and Eric must be going crazy, I never miss school." I raised an eyebrow and asked, "Eric? You mean Eric Gilbert?" Cameron turned to me lips pursed a sort of bitterness in his eyes as he said "Yeah, why do you want to know? How do you know him?" He was getting on my nerves with his insecurities and questions. I had already compelled him. I was getting tired of him, already.
I raised my eyebrows and smirked as I said, "Relax, that little green monster of yours. Eric is dating my sister, Sarah." Cameron's eyes widened as he asked, "You're related to Sarah?" I nodded as I replied, "Yeah, Sarah Salvatore and Demitria Salvatore. She's my baby sis." Cameron smirked as he said, "What do you know, huh. Eric got the little sister and I got the older one." He smirked as he tilted my head and kissed me. I smirked as I kissed him back pressing him to the door, he did have his moments.
### &&&***###
I sighed as I turned into the school lot. I listened in as Cameron beside me got out of the car. He reached over and grabbed my face kissing me. I sighed at that, this was getting old. I hated being manhandled by a teen. I watched as he walked away as I spotted Eric with another guy. "Oh my god. That must be the mystery chick from the grill." I watched they stood up and Eric said, "That's no mystery chick. That's Demitria Salvatore." The guy asked, "Salvatore, as in Sarah?" I watched as Cameron sauntered over the team as he passed them he said "I got the other brother. Hope you don't mind. Sorry I'm late guys, I, uh was busy." I smirked at Eric who looked at me. I winked at him and then pressed the gas and took off.
### &&&***###
I rolled my eyes as I took another sip of my bourbon as I looked up hearing Sarah come into the room. I held the book up and said, "How were tryouts? Did you make the team? Very Emerson, the way you reveal your soul with so many…Adjectives." Sarah yanked the book away. She asked, "What are you doing here?" It's my daily dose of making Sarah's life miserable, so I decided to say "I've come to apologize. I've been doing some thinking, some soul searching, and…I want us to start over. We need to put the past behind us." I put on a straight face as I continued "You're my little sister, and if you want to live a normal, happy human life, then I want that for you. Maybe I can do it too. That I can learn to be a nonliving living person. Maybe there's hope for the both of us." I tried to be serious, but then I failed to keep my straight face as I burst out laughing.
Sarah looked at me sadly as she said, "You know, it doesn't have to be this way, Demi." I smirked and sat back down as I said, "Of course it doesn't. I saw Eric today, BTW. That means 'by the way.' He was at football practice. He looked so ripped in his tank top. Just…" Sarah glared at me and I continued "Simmer down; I didn't even go near him. I've got my own football player now. Ooh, that reminds me…I gotta run. I have a date. Sweaty palms, wish me luck." I winked at my little sis as I walked out on my way to pick Cameron up.
### &&&***###
I sat driving my car, as I zoned out of whatever Cameron was saying. We were on our way to Eric's. I smirked at the thought. Cameron let it slip and I compelled him for us to go. I had stopped by and picked up a cake for desert. Eric…uh, I shook my head to get rid of him. No, I didn't need to think of Eric, not when Kaleb was waiting for me.
### &&&***###
Cameron rang the doorbell. I heard Eric come and saw him open the door. "Surprise! Blake said you were doing dinner, so Demi brought desert." I smiled sweetly as I held out the cake. I could only look so sweet dressed in all black. Eric replied, "Oh." Cameron walked inside like he owned the place while I stood right outside the threshold, cake still in hand. I said, "Hope you don't mind." Sarah loomed behind Eric. "What are you doing here?" I smile sweetly sending it to Eric as I answered "Waiting for Eric to invite me in." Eric said with a smile, "Oh yeah, you can…"Sarah shook her head, voice firm, "No, no, no. She can't, uh…she can't stay. Can you Demi?" Cameron called "Get in here." Sarah explained, "We're just…finishing up." Eric shrugged her away and said "its fine. Just come on in." I smiled and stepped over the threshold and handed Eric the cake as I looked around and said "You have a beautiful home, Eric." Eric smiled as he took the cake and replied, "Thank you." I sent a smirk towards my sister once Eric looked away.
### &&&***###
"I cannot believe that Mr. Tanner let you on the team. Tiny must be seething. But good for you, go for it." I smirked as I sank into the couch, Cameron putting his arm around my shoulders tightly. I rolled my eyes and said "That's what I always tell her. You have to engage. You can't just sit there and wait for life to come to you. You have to go get it." Cameron nodded as he rested his head on my shoulder and said, "Yeah, Eric wasn't so lucky today. It's only because you missed summer camp. God, I don't know how you're ever going to learn the passes." I rolled my eyes and pushed away from him slightly, that bitterness in his voice. Apparently he wasn't that much of a friend to Eric. The guy beside Eric, Blake, interjected, "I'll work with him. He'll get it."
Cameron went on, "I guess we can put him on the bench, but he was well known…" I rolled my eyes and turned to Eric, "You know you don't seem like the football jock type Eric." Cameron who I now saw was getting mad because of my attention on Eric rudely butted in, "Oh, it's just 'cause his parents died. Yeah, I mean, he's just totally going through a blah phase.
He used to be way more fun. And I say that with complete sensitivity." I glared at him for a second, before stopping. What do I care if Eric's feelings are hurt? I turned to Eric as I said, "I'm sorry, Eric. I know what it's like to lose both your parents. In fact, Sarah and I have watched almost every single person we've cared about die." Sarah cut in "We don't need to get into that right now Demitria." I fakely replied, "Oh, you know what? You're right Sere, I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was bring him up."
### &&&***###
I walked silently onto the kitchen after ditching Cameron with Sarah and Blake. "One more," Eric turned around and I held out the glass. "Oh, thank you." He reached for it and I let it go but he didn't grasp it. As it fell I caught it with my tips and grasped it. I held it out for him and he laughed as he said, "Nice save." I smiled at him as I said "I like you. You know how to laugh, and you make Sarah smile, which is something I haven't see in a very long time." Eric nodded and turned to me as he asked, "Earlier did you mean Kaleb?" I nodded, "Mhm." Eric asked "How did he die?" I bit my lip but answered, "In a fire, tragic fire." He asked "Recently?" I answered truthfully, "It seems like it was yesterday."
"What was he like?" I smirked and looked away as I thought back to Kaleb and answered, "He was gorgeous. A lot like you in that department. He was also complicated and selfish and at times not very kind, but very charming, sexy, and seductive." Eric nodded and asked, "So which one of you dated him first?" I smiled and said, "Nicely deduced. Ask, Sarah, I'm sure her answer differs from mine. I'd quit football if I were you."
Eric asked "Why do you say that?" I answered, "Oh, I saw you at practice. You looked miserable." Eric semi-smiled as he asked, "You saw that?" I asked, "Am I wrong?" He replied, "I used to love it. It was fun. Things are different this year. Everything that used to matter doesn't anymore."
I answered him honestly, "So don't let it. Quit, move on, problem solved, ta-da." Eric sighed as he said "Some things could matter again." I bit my lip as I shrugged and replied, "Maybe. But…it seems a little unrealistic to me." Then suddenly his face turned sad as he looked at me. I viewed him with interest as he said, "I'm sorry." I raised an eyebrow and he continued "About Kaleb, you lost him too." This was one of the few people who were ever sorry about Kaleb, but this was the only person who actually meant it. I gulped. Yes, Eric was different.
"Hey, need some help?" I looked up to see Blake in the kitchen. I smiled at them and shrugged as I said "Sure why not?"
### &&&***###
I left Eric and Blake in the kitchen as they insisted to be gentlemen and do the dishes. I smirked and jumped into the armchair as I said "What are you two kids talking about?" Even though I had heard their whole conversation. Sarah replied "I was just commenting on his scarf." I replied "Hmm. Hey you know um, Eric and Blake are finishing up the dishes. Why don't you go see if you I can help?" Cameron smirked as he asked "Does it look like I do dishes?" I pouted "For me?" Cameron replied, "Hmm…I don't think so." I turned his chin to me and said "Go see if Eric needs help in the kitchen." I let him go. Cameron turned to us, "You know what? I'm gonna go see if Eric needs some help in the kitchen." I smirked, "Great." He left. Sarah immediately started "They are people, Demi. He's not a puppet. He doesn't exist for your amusement, for you to feed on whenever you want."
I said "Sure he does. They all do. They're whatever I want them to be. They're mine for the taking." Sarah replied, "All right, you've had your fun. You used Cameron; you got to meet Eric, good for you. Now it's time for you to go." I smirked as I got in her face and said "That's not a problem. Because…I've been invited in, and I'll come back tomorrow night and the following night and I'll do with your little football player whatever I want to do. Because that is what is normal to me." Truth is I wouldn't hurt him, not now.
### &&&***###
It was late, later than midnight as I stayed right outside Eric's house. I sent my crow to him as I pulled myself into his dreams. "Tonight wasn't so bad. I had fun." Eric tells Sarah. Sarah replied, "Hmm. That makes one of us." Eric replied "Come on, your sister isn't as bad as you make her out to be…" As Sarah kisses him they go to the bed, Eric starts to take her shirt off. As soon as it passes her head it's me. Eric screams. I smirk as he wakes up. My crow looks at him then I make him take off as do I.
### &&&***###
I smirked as I followed Eric to his car. As soon as he turned around I was there. Eric gasped "You scared me. What are you doing?" I whispered, "I'm hiding from Cameron." Eric raised an eyebrow, "And why's that?" I answered "I needed a break. He talks more than I can listen." Eric retorted, "That could be a sign." I nodded and thoughtfully said "Well, he's awfully young." Eric raised an eyebrow w and said "Not much younger than you are." I shrugged and replied "I don't see it going anywhere in the bigger picture. I think he'd drive me crazy." Eric replied, "Cameron does have some really annoying traits, but we've been friends since the first grade and that means something to me." I said "Dully noted. I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable. That's not my intention."
Eric retorted, "Yes it is. Otherwise you wouldn't put an alternate meaning behind everything you say." I smirked as an idea hit me, "You're right. I do have other intentions, but so do you." Eric scoffed "Really?" I nodded and said "Mhm. I see 'em…you want me." Eric looked surprised as he said "Excuse me?" I kept going, "I get to you. You find yourself drawn to me. You think about me even when you don't want to think about me. I bet you even dream about me. And right now…you want to kiss me." I compelled him and I crept closer. Our lips nearing then he snapped out and lightly pushed me back. I stumbled back some steps from surprise. It hadn't worked!
"What the hell? I don't know what game you're trying to play with Sarah here, but I don't want to be part of it. And I don't know what happened in the past, but let's get one thing straight…I am not Kaleb." And I was starting to see the truth in that.
### &&&***###
"…Good luck tonight. We're lucky to have you." I clap as Marty leaves for the baseball game. I say "Isn't that nice? Sarah joins a team, makes a friend. It's all so 'rah, rah, go team, yeah!'" Sarah rolled her eyes at me and said "Not tonight. I'm done with you." I raised an eyebrow. I ignored her and instead said "Nice trick with Eric. Let me guess…vervain in the bracelet? I admit I was a bit surprised. It's been a while since anyone could resist my compulsion. Where'd you get it?"
Sarah asked "Does it matter?" I answered "Guess I could just seduce him the old-fashioned way. Or I could just…eat him." I smirked at my sister. Sarah said, "No, you're not gonna hurt him, Demi." I cocked my head to the side. What? Did she not know who I am? I asked "No?"
Sarah said "Because deep down inside, there is a part of you that feels for him. I was worried that you had no humanity left inside of you that you may have actually become the monster that you pretend to be." No, she couldn't believe that. This was me, Demi. I was the cruel, vicious, unfeeling monster. I asked "Who's pretending?" Sarah stated, "Then kill me." I answered "Well, I'm…I'm tempted." I was. Even though I knew I'd never actually do it.
"No, you're not. You've had lifetimes to do it, and yet, here I am. I'm still alive. And there you are. You're still haunting me after 145 years. Kaleb is dead. And you hate me because you loved him, and you torture me because you still do. And that, my sister, is your humanity." The thing was…it was true. And I hate having this brought up, I hate Sarah bringing him up, he had no right. I clenched my jaw. And anyone who knew me knows I hurt people, kill people, when I'm hurt, to put my humanity off. "Salvatore! What the hell? We've got a game to play!" I turned to Sarah "If that's my humanity…then what's this?" I flashed to Tanner and sank my fangs into his neck and dropped him. Sarah cried, "No!" Blood dripped down my chin as I said "Anyone, anytime, anyplace."
### &&&***###
I paced back and forth. I had flipped the switch off there with Sarah, but I switched it back in no time. I couldn't do it. No matter how hard I tried. I clenched my jaw as I sat outside Eric's house. I jumped in through his window. Kaleb, I needed him. I don't know anything anymore; everything is getting fuzzy in my head. Everything is between Eric and Kaleb, I didn't know what to do, what to think. I crept over to Eric. My hand unconsciously tracing his face. I snatched my hand back when I realized what I did. I saw Eric twitch in his sleep, as if waking up and right then I took my leave.
