Stefan POV

Hi readers, I am going to change from writing in 3rd person to 1st, just because it's easier for me now, sorry for the confusion.

Elena, dear Elena has been panicking for the past half hour as to where Danni was, so was Bonnie and Caroline, Matt and Tyler had gone out to look again, but I had stayed to calm the girls, Bonnie's magic wasn't working on Danni which just raised the tension again, me on the other hand knew where she was, with that brother of mine, who I did love dearly, but know that her being with him was bad, well bad for her, good for Damon, and at least they were both happy.

What perked my attention next was the fast movement of speeding feet, one I recognised the pattern of, the other was completely new, but similar, which meant I knew what had happened… DAMON!

How could he change her, she's human and doesn't deserve this?

My thoughts were cut off when they wandered through the door, Danni looking around idly, probably getting used to her new eyesight strength, when she noticed us, she uttered two words; "Hey Guys."

Her appearance was completely… predatory now, the others saw it too; her skin was paler, more of a porcelain with little rosy cheeks- fresh from feeding probably- than the very subtle bronzed tan she had; her hair was shinier, not that it wasn't shiny before, and it had more vibrancy to it, a bit more like a golden sunset; her lips were more defined against her skin, more of a plump pink; her teeth shone, perfect little white teeth, they just held more threat now; her eyelashes were darker, making them thicker, this made her eyes pop out; her eyes had more life to them and slightly more malice; her posture was more elegant and ready; the way she walked in was ever more graceful; any freckles she had have just completely gone; there was also the little ring- if you could separate all of these different things, you could tell she was of the night, a vampire.

Bonnie ran up to hug her first, but once she did she retreated immediately, horror clear on her face; "what did he do to you?"

"Nothing, I'm fine Bon Bon." Bonnie shook her head furiously then turned on Damon.

"You changed her, she was fine the way she was, you had to change her for your own ends, this is Vicky all over again, you monster."

Then Caroline jumped in, "Damon, why do you have to hurt us all so much, I mean c'mon, she had a good life, she had a good career, why screw it up?"

"Guys leave it alone," Danni grumbled, "he saved my life."

"What do you mean Danni?" Caroline asked, if you looked close enough, you could just see the flicker in Damon's face, she was lying to them and he didn't know what she was going to say, oh this should be good.

"I was hit by a drunk driver when we left from the party, I was going to bleed to death but Damon dragged me off and changed me, I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for Damon, you should thank him really." I automatically noticed a little smirk trying to make its way onto my dear Brother's face.

"Oh my god, are you okay?" Caroline cried as they all rushed up to hug her, I shook my head at them and then with it signalled for Damon to follow me, which he did with a grin plastered on his lips.

"What do you want Little Brother?" He drawled to me, boredness clear on his face.

"Why Damon, why do it to her?" my voice shout whispered to his brother.

"Because I am not going to lose her again, and she agreed to it, she was just waiting for me to ask Brother."

"Well, you better make sure she doesn't kill anyone, also congratulations."

"What?"

"I say the ring on her finger, you proposed, she said yes, congratulations." I then walked up closer to his brother and hugged him, he felt Damon slowly return the hug, when he pulled back he had something very rare on his face, a genuine smile and it was meant for me, my heart tugged at this, I hadn't seen one in one hundred and forty five years and it warmed my heart, "When are you telling the others?"

"When she's ready…" suddenly I heard a huge scream that came from the other room, it was a high pitched 'OMG' scream which meant, "they found out."

"Don't underestimate the power of Caroline's eye for jewellery."

"I'll remember that Brother." Then I walked back in the room to see a slightly blushing Danni and three ecstatic girls who were hopping around her, Damon walked past him and enveloped her in a hug, he looked completely content, it was nice, I then walked up and did the same for Elena and just then Matt and Tyler walked in, relief clear on their faces when they saw Danni. Matt then hugged Caroline from behind, she leant into him while Tyler did the same for Bonnie, everyone was happy.

Half an hour later, Tyler, bonnie, Caroline and Matt had gone home, Damon and Danni were in their rooms, and Elena was wrapped in my arms, fiddling with my ring with complete curiosity.

Damon POV

Danni was in her room changing into her pyjamas, then she settled into her bed, sitting on my bed shirt and trousers on the floor, wearing only my boxers, my silk sheets seemed empty without her with me, but for some reason we both went to our own beds, I have no idea why and I bet she doesn't either.

I looked out of my window, clouds covered all of the stars now, no moon showed, I saw small dust particles flying around in the darkness and slight wind that blew through the crack in my hatched window.

Sighing I got up off of my bed, sleep evading me completely, I went out of my room and down the hall to Danni's, I know she could hear me, she made no move to welcome me in, probably 'cause she knows I'll walk in anyway- I did, she was sitting on her bed as well, vacantly staring out of her window into the forest, her room was ebbed in darkness, she didn't move at all when I entered so I walked over and sat beside her, nothing, I wrapped my arms around her waist, nil, pulled her onto my lap, nada, turned her face to mine and pecked her on the lips, nichts, grumbling I adjusted my position and licked the side of her face, that got a reaction; she jumped off of my lap and squealed wiping her face extremely quickly.

"Well at least you know I'm here now." I said sarcastically, earning myself and glower and sap right across the face, it actually hurt, my hand instantly went up to My left cheek to nurture the redness that was probably there, it didn't only physically hurt, it hurt my feelings a bit, but I brushed that off. "What the hell was that for Dannielle Frankie Carter, please enlighten me?"

"You got a reaction, now I got one…" she looked at me, her glare turning softer, "I'm sorry Damon, I was just thinking and you annoyed me." She walked over to me, standing tentatively before me, I guess slightly nervous.

"It's okay Cara, you're new to this vampire thing, your emotions will be a it haywire for a while, come here," my voice demanded while my hand reached and grabbed her wrist before pulling her onto the bed, I crawled up to the head board and rested there before pulling her again so she was straddling me, "what were you thinking about, Cara?"

"Katherine, isn't it weird for you knowing she is out there now?" I shook my head.

"It's more weird that of all things you would think of that, usually when someone gets engaged they think about white frilly dresses, not their fiancés deranged ex."

"True that, but I'm not normal."

"No," my hand reached up to cup her face, she leant into it slightly, closing her shining eyes, "you're something else, something that is the most precious thing ever, and that is why Katherine doesn't matter." She sighed deeply, her lips pressed against my palm in a loving kiss before she readjusted and was laying her back on my chest, her hands grabbed one of mine, the left one, and started playing with my fingers, I closed my eyes and fell asleep with the slight tingle of her hands touching mine.
