I awoke to the sounds of a struggle and faint whispering, coming from down the hall. When i rolled over to see Damon was no longer next to me i knew he was outside my door dealing with the desturbence, but that still didn't remove the sting i felt of feeling an empty space of where i felt he should be. Next to me.

I started to feel the delayed panic as i heard yet more comosion from the hall. I stood up wearing my jeans and shirt from the night previous and walked with caution towards the door and pulled it ajar. When my eyes landed on the cause of the fuss i was instantly alarmed. I ran towards them and tried to pull at Damons arm to release the Woman he had pinned against the wall. He had been so busy with the situation at hand that he had not sensed my arrival.

'Elena i can deal with this go back to your room, everything will be fine' He said clearly worrying that i would be scared. He was taken back with shock when he saw my concern for the woman. 'Damon! Let her go now! She is no threat to me!' i Huffed out in hysterics. I quickly turned to woman he had still pinned, Who looked more angry then scared. 'Oh my god, i am so sorry! He only arrived yesterday afternoon and i have not had the chance to explain yet. Are you ok?' i asked whilst turning to slap Damons arm away from her. He looked confused but released her at my comand. 'Elena have you lost your mind? Since when do you trust this woman? She is dangerous! You should know this you have been hanging around vampires for a long time now!' Damon said with a tone of obvious annoyance.

'Since everyone in town thought i was a freak! Since my close and personal friend Damon left town! Since my husband died and i was alone! Since i had No one and she was around for me!' I spat matching his annoyance perfectly. Damon looked hurt at my words and i knew this would not end well if i aloud this conversation to continue.

'Look, Damon now is not the time to get into this. Why dont you go downstairs and get the both of you some blood and il get changed and be down in a second ok?' i pleeded trying to placify the situation. Damon eyes were still cautious but he agreed and started towards the stairs with the woman at his side. 'Oh and guys?' she waited for them to turn and then continued 'Try not to kill each other or damage the property!' Damon didn't look please but the woman just smirked trying not to laugh, before nodding and then both walking off.

I sighed in frustration and then returned to my room to get changed. I hurried the desision of what to wear not wanting to leave the two alone for any extended periods of time. Settling for a pair of black leggings and a long white shirt that belonged to Stefan - lord knows i need his strenght today - and a black waist coat, topping it of with a waist belt. I walked down stairs to greet an over powering awkward silence. The two vampires had placed themselves at opposite sides of the long couch and wore polar opposite expressions. Damons was one of frustration and unease, where as the womans was calm and smirking, almost as if enjoying the situation and knowing her - she probably was.

'Ok enough with this pissed off act, its getting old. I care for you both and i intend to spend time with you both! So sit your butts down and play nice! I dont care if it physically hurts you to do it, you two will be civil or else i swear to god i spike every drink in this town with vervain and lock you in a cage together!' i warned just to get it out in the open.

The woman let out a small laugh and a please smile before turning to face Damon and smoothly spoke. 'Why hello Damon, its been so long. How are you?' She said with a sultry smile. Damon sighed before turning to do his best Sarcastic damon act as i sat between the two. 'Not long enough it would seem-' i hit Damons arm and glared at him to show i was not pleased. 'I mean Why im great thank you, and yourself?' Damon said in a tone so heavy with sarcasim it was shocking, i glared once more before he spoke again.

'Hello Isobel'
