After his short walk Damon came back home and went to his room. He opened the window and left it like that to let the air in. The wind would blow slowly the dark curtains. He got undressed to got into bed hopping he would fall asleep. He started to think about little red ,a girl how didn't react to his charms ,but she was very mouth watering . Slowly his eyes started to get heavy and after a short while he fell asleep.
And again he felt those strange sensations invading again his body and mind and it was like he could see a figure in a very think fog taking form, a very familiar figure, not very tall and pretty familiar that in the next moment he woke up.
That morning Damon thought that that was just a dream , but a part of him…
On the other hand the happy couple ,Stefan and Elena, the day was uneventful despite the mystery girl entry the night before. They were getting ready for school.
The day stared as normal as possible ,that class started like nothing had happen, but in the class room you all you could hear about was the new girl.
"Did you hear about the new girl."
"Yeah. I hear she is smoking hot ."
"I hear she from some East of Europe."
Stefan and Elena looked at each other curious but also a little confused.
In the next moment the door open…everyone went silent…then she entered she was 5ft.2 with black hair caught in a loose bun, with two lock of hair framing her face. She had dark brown eyes, that look no where but every where. She was thin ,but not skinny. She was wearing a pair of dark jeans with a white shirt that has the top button undone so she could bread
"Class this is Alexia Ion..Ione…"
"Ionescu."
"Thank dear, she is are new student from Romania."
All the student suddenly thought about the only thing link to Romania.
"I would like for all of you to make her feel welcomed and if there is something you should try to help her. Bonnie could you help Alexia with her class and Alexia your desk is behind Bonnie."
"Thank you" she said in a firm but playful tone of voice which kind frightened you, even if her appearance was of that of a fragile little thing.
'weird combo 'thought Stefan 'cold eyes firm voice ,but she look like she could easily break ' her eyes told more them she would have liked. "Interesting girl "
For the rest she was just another college, that come from a country that made you think of old horror movies, but she seam lost in space, with her mind miles away.
At recess ,in the school yard Stefan and Elena where talking about the new thought that she was just depressed and she knew how that felt, but anything other that not. On the other hand Stefan started remembering the girl from the dance and started to find similarities with the new girl. Physically they where the same, but he only saw her eyes for a moment and they where blood red…but he was almost certain that she was the girl from the dance.
The new girl was sitting on a bench in front of them, sorting some notes when a group of students came up to her. She didn't seem to notice them when the surrounded her. Stefan and Elena watch the scene before them.
All the sudden on of the boys asked her in a mocking tone" So you're the new girl?"
She didn't even look at him like he wasn't even there." So you from Romania? Are the legends about Transylvania true?"Again she didn't seem to care ,she just stop a bit from sorting here notes.
"Are the legends true about Count Dracula ?"
At that moment she lifted her eyes towards them and they looked more red then brown.
It was a clinging site "Count Dracula…hmmn ." Then she got up and left.
She turned her eyes toward Stefan and Elena for a moment , looking at Stefan with an intense look in her eyes and then past them.
Stefan keep looking at her after she left, when Elena saw this she tried to get his a attention, but only after shook him she got his attention.
"Stefan what' s wrong? It looked you where in a trans or something?"
"Sorry ..its the new girl….there is something strange about her."
"It's normal, she isn't from around here." He could see the frustration in her eyes so he kissed her forehead ever so lightly and then kissed her sweetly on the lips.
"What a freak" said one of the girls, you could hear the endive in her voice but also intrigue. "Yeah, she's only doing thing like that to get notice." Said another.
Her strange behavior made a lot of student start asking questions but didn't dare to ask her.
In the evening at the Salvatore residence, in the dinning room ,they were having dinner. At the far end of the table was sting Stefan, in his right was sitting Elena , in his left was Caroline ,next to Elena was Bonnie and in front of Bonnie was 'little' Jeremy Gilbert, how was smiling very sweetly.
Stefan wasn't very hungry after what happen today, but he still had some manner unlike someone how was sitting on o chair in the next room with a glass of whiskey in his hand and his mind somewhere lost in space.
"Damon…Damon….Earth to Damon…can you hear us? What's up with you, asked Elena"
"I got a better one for you, said Bonnie. How are think about with that smile on your face and the sparkle in you eyes?"
"None of your business"
"Now you made them even more curios, said Jeremy. You would think that a guy like you, how's been around women for over 160 year would know that by now."
Damon didn't say anything , he ignored them all. There stares and there questions.
"Well what ever it is no victims Damon, no victims ."
"Yeah ,yeah, I got it."
The girl decide it was time for another sleepover this time at Elena's house, with them left also Jeremy the only one how still lived there .
After the girl left , Stefan and Damon where left alone in the house. Damon move from the chair to the couch ,while Stefan was in the doorway looking at his older brother.
They stayed like this for a couple of minutes in till Stefan said.
" I've meet her…the new girl…her name is Alexia. Guess from where she is?"
Damon didn't answer ,but you could tell that he was paying attention.
"She is from Romania. , but there is something odd about her."
"Odd?"
"Yeah, I can put my finger on it, but there is some thing odd about her. I mean she look like any other teenager but the way she talks and looks at you is… I don't know. Strange. She has a cold look in her eyes.:
"Anything else ?"
"Yeah some student stared asking her questions about Romania and, Stefan started laughing , and about count Dracula."
When Damon he started laughing.
"I can't believe this ."
"Tell me about it. People now a days are more curious and a whole lot more naïve. They are willing to believe in something that may or may not be they accuse a simple student asking her if she know the truth. "
Damon remained quite playing with the glass of whiskey and with is mind again miles away .
