Chapter 3: The Charmer
Aria, Spencer, Emily and Hanna strolled in Mystic Grill. As they walked in they noticed that people were staring at them, Emily, Aria and Spencer found this uncomfortable however Hanna found it encouraging and decided to walk up to some stranger at the bar.
"Hanna! You can't just go up to some guy at a bar!" Spencer urged.
"What Spence? I'm just going to ask for directions back to Rosewood." She replied causally.
"You can't go up to that stranger, he looks he's been drinking." Aria said worried for her friend. The girls heard footsteps coming up to them and a whirl of nervous butterflies filled, Emily, Spencer and Aria's stomachs.
"You know she's right, stranger danger and all." The man that Hanna had planned to go up to for 'directions' said as he stalked up to the four girls.
"Yeah we know. That's why were leaving now." Spencer stated extending her hand to grab Hanna's arm but she refused, Spencer glared.
"It looks like she doesn't want to go with you, 'Spence'." The man smirked.
Spencer was creeped out, how did he know her name? "How do you know my name?" She voiced her thoughts.
"Let's just say I have excellent hearing. I'm Damon by the way." Damon said reaching his hand out to shake Spencer's but she didn't move.
"Didn't your mother teach you manners?" He said acting hurt.
"What about you two? You've been awfully quiet." Damon asked, the smirk never leaving his charming face.
"Aria." She whispered.
"Emily." Emily copied Aria's actions, whispering.
"Pretty name for pretty girls." Damon continued his charming ways.
Stefan and Elena continued their date but Stefan had noticed between talking with Elena and eating his chicken salad, that Damon had made his way over to the four new girls. He knew what his brother was like, compelling and using girls for their blood.
"Hey Elena." Stefan interrupted her talking. "I think your right about those girls. Damon's over there, we should go up there." He suggested.
"I told you!" Elena exclaimed. "But yeah let's go over there." She told him and he nodded and they walked over there.
"Hey brother. " Stefan smiled and put his arm around him.
"Stefan, what are you doing here? Aren't you meant to be on your date with Elena." Damon's teeth clenched in the last sentence.
"We wanted to come say Hi to your new… friends." Elena explained.
"Hi, I'm Elena and this is my boyfriend Stefan." Elena had turned her attention to the girls, introducing herself and Stefan.
"Hey,I'm Hanna and these are my friends, Spencer, Emily and Aria." Hanna smiled.
"Okay, now that's over. Why don't I buy you ladies a drink?" Damon offered and Elena scoffed at his failed attempted to make her jealous.
"Um, were underage." Emily stated.
"So? That's hasn't stopped us before." Hanna laughed.
"Really? I like that." Damon smirked and this time Elena did feel a spark of jealously rise up in her but she quickly pushed it away.
"Well we don't like you." Spencer spat and Stefan chuckled at her comment.
"Speaking for yourself." Hanna flirted.
"Hanna, we didn't come in here to flirt with hopeless drunks. We came in here to ask for directions." Spencer scolded Hanna, to which she rolled her eyes.
"Directions?" Stefan asked.
"Yeah, we're from Rosewood. We were on our way to Brook Haven but we took a wrong turn." Aria explained.
"Yeah, so if you could just show us the way to Rosewood, we'll be on our way." Spencer said.
"You can't possibly drive at this time of night, can you?" Damon asked and Spencer rolled her eyes.
"We'll be fine." Emily said, starting to feel uncomfortable about where this is going.
"I don't think so. Maybe you should ju-" Damon's sentence was cut of by Aria's scream.
"What's wrong?" Hanna asked, concerned.
"I saw someone in a black hoodie over there, it's gone now but I swear it was there." Aria whispered, unknown to the fact that Damon and Stefan could hear her perfectly like she was screaming in there faces.
Hanna, Spencer and Emily faces dropped. "We've really got to go now." Spencer said, before grabbing the girls arms and running to the exit door without waiting for a response.
Damon was at the door before they had even started running, using his vampire speed. The girls gasped when they saw Damon. "You're not going anywhere."
