He watched as she allowed Luke to pull her through a door near the bar - he had no doubt in his mind the types of horrors that lay behind that door, but all he could do was hope that she would see what Luke was, and what she herself was becoming.
"Time to move, mate; if they figure out who we are, we'll be the main course tonight."
Damon just turned his head and nodded before following his friend through the crowd to the steps that led to the outside, and not only the outside, but also the light. Damon pushed his friend forward as he saw a couple of shifters closing in on them by the door.
They had been spotted.
They stumbled up the stairs trying to stay ahead of the swarm of shape shifters that was trying to follow them. Luckily, the throbbing crowed that was so entranced by the beat of the music slowed them down and gave the pair the precious seconds they needed to make it into the fresh air and escape down the street.
This is not the end, I will be back, I will win you!
The next day, he stood underneath an old willow tree on the lawn watching Anika, but making sure he stayed well in the shadows so that she could not see him. The anger that welled up inside of him as he watched her flirt and kiss Luke was indescribable. The closest he could have got was by saying it was like watching as someone ripped out his heart and presented it to him on a platter.
He watched as Luke looked over his shoulder at another vampire, obviously not a Lamia, who wore an old faded leather jacket and had stubble. Luke parted from the group and pursued the guy from a distance to behind the science building, and so Damon trailed him, making sure that Luke was not aware of him following. He paused as he came to the edge of the building, as he could over hear voices...
"So it's all set then?" he heard Luke say.
"Yeah, I told you not to worry 'bout it, man," came a slightly deeper, more laid back voice.
"Don't tell me not to worry - if this goes wrong...." He trailed on with a hint of warning in his voice.
"Cool, man! Just chill a bit. Everything is set - just need to go over it with everyone at the club tonight. Seven sharp. Don't forget!"
"I won't. Oh, and make sure that stupid wolf on the door is more careful this time: we don't want any more mistakes like last night when those two Daybreakers got in."
"Sure."
Damon quickly shielded himself from view as he heard them coming back round the corner.
Now what are you two up to?
