Damon was officially bored. And he didn't do bored. Stefan was back and everything went on its places. After the heroic version of himself, Damon needed to cause some troubles. He had been drinking for whole week and screwing with some random girls, which he barely remembered. He was so bored that he stayed in the damn house drinking scotch. Damon was already little drunk, maybe later he could go to the Grill to hook u with some women. But the women in this forgotten town were boring. He wanted something new and fresh, and a bit of a challenge. Unfortunately Stefan wasn't around to tease up. Well, something was definitely happening to him because he couldn't see point in flirting with Elena. Oh and with the beginning of the school year he could easily sneak up on the "gang" and go to Atlanta to suck some pretty girl dry. Well maybe he wouldn't kill her but he would play with her and leave her. Or, maybe, he could pick some fights and kill some morons. He almost smiled at the thought. He was daydreaming about the taste of the fresh blood, when somebody stupid enough interrupted him. Somebody just signed his death sentence. Using his incredible vampire skills he got up on opened the door. He expected to see Alaric or Sheriff Forbes on the porch, but instead there was a very beautiful, but he could say an arrogant girl.
-Hello...
-Well, hello to you. – said Damon smiling cocky. But from her face he could tell that she wasn't impressed.
-Could you tell me does Zack Salvatore still lives here?
And there was it, for a very first time somebody was asking for his pathetic nephew, whom he killed.
-And who is asking?
-And who are you, the last time I checked it was Zack Salvatore's house. – She replied, a feisty one.
-I am Damon Salvatore, Zack's nephew. And how do you know my uncle? – Damon asked, this girl remind him of somebody but he couldn't place it.
-Zack is a family friend. He never said anything for relatives.
-Well, maybe you didn't know him that good. –Damon stated calmly, of course, Zack wouldn't have said something for his relatives. What he was supposed to say: "I have two uncles, but both of them died in 1864...But don't worry they are vampires", people would have thought that he had gone crazy.
-Why don't you come inside...Oh I didn't catch your name...
-I haven't said it. – She said smiling, well a smart one and she definitely was getting more mysterious. – It is Alexandra Redfern, nice to meet you, Damon.
-It is pleasure, Alexandra.
-So would you tell me where is Zack?
-He is...abroad...
-Then give me a phone number. – She was stubborn. Why the hell didn't he compel her? But something was stopping him. And the worst part was that he didn't know what.
-I am so sorry but Zack is unreachable.
-Unreachable?
Of course he was he was dead.
-He is in Tibet, and you know there is no mobile service or internet.
Damn, the girl in front of him wasn't buying this bullshit.
-Well, if you telegram you, because in Tibet there are some kind of post offices, could you tell him that Alexandra Redfern wants to speak with him.
She was making fun of him. And nobody had done this to Damon Salvatore and lived to tell the story.
-Of course I will tell him. - But he first had to get the Ouija board.
-Goodbye, Damon...
-See you around, Alexandra.
This girl was different. Damon watched how Alexandra was walking away. The girl certainly had spirit, and she wasn't somebody you could compare to. She was beautiful and smart at the same time. To Damon Alexandra was the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid eyes on. There was some mystery around her. But Damon loved the mysteries and sure he was going to solve this one. Alexandra reminded him of somebody, but he couldn't place of whom. And right now he had to go through Zack's stuff to find what his nephew had in common with the Redferns. If that girl was so desperate to find Zack, so she had a secret, a big one or maybe she was trying to figure something out. And that's how Damon Salvatore found his new occupation and person of interest. But what the vampire couldn't see for himself was that for a while he didn't think about Elena Gilbert. One thing he knew for sure Alexandra Redfern was e challenge and Damon Salvatore loved challenges.
From the moment when Alexandra left the Salvatore's porch, she knew that something was terribly wrong. Zack wasn't the type who loved adventures. She didn't believed Damon when he said that Zack was in Tibet. Damn, Zack had never left the state, something had happened to him. She was going to dig deep in this dirt. She had had to return when Zack stopped checking on her. Even then she knew that something happened to him. He was like her real uncle. And she was ungrateful. Zack's nephew Damon had something to do with his disappearance. But that guy wasn't like the men she had met before. He was everything that every woman or girl wanted – handsome and obviously smart. Damon was charming, and Alexandra was sure that every girl in this town was in his knees. For a very first time Alexandra met somebody equal to her – sneaky enough, clever and manipulator. She was sure that she will see Damon Salvatore around very often. But in that moment Alexandra Redfern didn't have an idea how right she was.
