Sorry I haven't updated my story in such a long time, I have just been struggling to find the time to write anything, what with exams, then starting the new year, drama of life in general, and battling a writer's mortal enemy WRITER'S BLOCK!
But, Thank you so much for the review from the last chapter, they meant a lot to me. Anyways on with the story…
(I don't own the vampire diaries or any of its character, but Amy is my own creation, so I do own her )
His Eternal Dark Princess
Chapter 4 – Falling For You
Amy POV
When I got back to bed, I found that I was in a blissful sleep before my head even hit the pillow and I started to dream…
As I walked into the grill, I walked over to the booth in the corner, it was secluded and out of the way of all of the other customers. I was only waiting for a few minutes when Damon spotted me sitting in this booth, he walked over to me, smiling.
"Hi, you been here long?" He asked
"No, only a few minutes." I said, giving him a quick smile.
"Would you like a drink?"
"Yeah, ok, well I suppose I'll have a coke."
"Ok then, one coke coming up." He stated as he got up to go to the bar.
I couldn't help but grin, he was being really nice, and not acting like a complete bastard who is only after one thing.
When I looked around, I noticed that I was no longer in the booth at the grill, but wandering around the corridors of what I assumed to be Mystic Falls High School.
"Hello" I shouted, "Is anyone there?"
Suddenly I heard a loud crash from behind me.
I was debating with myself as to whether I should turn around to see what the cause of the crash was, but I always knew that when someone turns around in a horror film, they tend to end up dead.
In the end, I turned around.
There was nobody around to be seen, just a tipped up trash can with its contents spilled across the floor.
"HELLO! THIS ISN'T FUNNY NOW, SHOW YOURSELF AND STOP BEING SUCH A COWARDLY BASTARD!" I shouted.
"Amy…" said an eerie voice, it was almost a whisper.
"W-who's t-there?" I whispered
A few more seconds of silence followed, but they felt like hours. Then a reply came.
"It's coming Amy…and it's coming for YOU…"
I let out a shriek of fear as I woke to find myself sitting bolt upright and in a cold sweat, the odd freezing chill running down the contours of my spine.
Seconds later, Caroline came bursting through the door with an anxious look of worry on her face.
"Are you ok? What's wrong?" she said rushing to the side of my bed.
"It's nothing Caroline, I just had a REALLY freaky dream that's all, I'm fine." I whispered, breathlessly as I tried to slow my heart rate down, by taking deep breaths. That dream/nightmare was way too real to have been just your bog standard dream from a human subconscious.
I looked at my digital clock on the bedside table, it was just after 9:30 AM and sunlight was breaking through the window.
"Are you absolutely sure?" She quizzed.
"Well, there was something that I wanted to talk to you about."
"No time like the present" I thought.
"What is it?" she asked.
"Well, there's no easy way to say this, so I might as well come out with it directly."
"Come on, I'm waiting to know, just tell me." Caroline begged.
"I know." I stated, hoping that she would catch the drift of what I was on about.
"Know about what?" she asked looking confused.
"About…..you….erm….being…a…vampire…" I whispered timidly.
"Oh, that. How did you find out?" Caroline asked.
"Well, I noticed the way that you face changed when we were at the mall earlier, and when Damon came by earlier to see me, I asked him about it, and he said that I would find out sooner or later, and he just told e straight out." I stated
"Right, no wait; hold on a minute, why was Damon here?"
"I dunno, he just came for a chat and stuff, that's all." I said, I found myself smirking at the memory of Damon in my room only those few hours ago and what had happened in those few minute that would change my life forever.
"Ok, are you sure that's all you did "chat?"" she enquired.
I stood there looking slightly shocked, "Caroline, what do you take me for eh?" I sniggered, but I couldn't help but giggle slightly and from the obvious fact that she was a vampire and had improved physical senses, she heard it like cannon-fire.
"Ok, I know that look and that kind of giggle anywhere, I invented that giggle, so spill."
"Well, ok, when, Damon came around earlier, we did talk for a bit, but then he kissed me, and it was like me world was blown into two, then he invited me to come and have a drink with him on Saturday night." I blurted out at fast as I could as to avoid interruption; I was dying to tell someone anyway.
"Well you know that I don't like him very much, and I've tried to tell you to keep away from him, so obviously nothing I say is going to change your mind, but I am going to tell you to be careful." She stated.
"Ok, I will, but will you help me pick out something to wear, 'cause I haven't got the foggiest on what to wear." I asked.
"Yeah, of course I will, but first, I'm gonna meet up with Elena, Bonnie and Stefan."
"Right, who's Bonnie?" I enquired.
"Oh yeah, of course you haven't met Bonnie yet, honestly there's nothing to worry about, I'm sure that you will get on fine."
"Well, I'll just get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs." I said
"Ok' don't be long." And with that final statement she got off of the bed and left the room.
When I finally made it downstairs, I had finally decided on my dark skinny jeans, my dark purple tank top with my black fitted leather jacket. I had also curled my hair and had pulled it back with hair grips, so that it tumbled down my back. As I got into the living room, I found that Caroline's friends had decided to come round instead of meeting up in the town.
I noticed that Stefan and Elena were sat on the couch together whilst, who I assumed to Bonnie, was sitting on the old armchair and Caroline was no where to be seen.
"Hi, Stefan, Elena, and you must be Bonnie" I said looking to each one in turn and smiling as to look friendly, and held my hand out as a greeting to her, even though I must have looked like a complete dork, but I did it anyway.
As she gripped my hand for the handshake, I felt a surge of what felt like electricity spike up my hand and my wrist as our hands linked. I jerked my hand away because the pain was immense; I turned my hand over to see if there was any damage, that was odd, I looked up and saw Bonnie doing the exact same thing. When I looked around I found Elena and Stefan staring at the two of us.
"Wow, that was weird" I muttered to myself looking back to my hand.
Moments later Caroline came through the door impatiently tugging at the ends of her jacket.
"Oh, finally. I thought you were never gonna be ready," she looked up from the hem of she jacket and took in all the looks of confusion spread across the faces of her friends and family. "What's going on?"
I snapped out of my puzzlement and replied, "Oh, nothing, I was just introducing myself to your friend Bonnie." I said with one of my Hollywood smiles that could turn the sky pink if I wanted it to. "So, where do you want to go then?"
"Oh, just round town, we might go and grab something to eat in the Grill, you know, might even play a bit of pool if your lucky." She giggled.
We had spent what felt like hours trekking around Mystic Falls, just wandering and talking nonsense. Then I noticed a poster outside the Grill, advertising a karaoke night at the end of the week.
"Hey guys, you seen this?" I shouted, as they were already begining to walk away from me. Elena was the first one to turn around to look at what I was looking at.
"Oh, karaoke night, looks ok, what do you think? Bonnie? Caroline?" she asked whilst looking at her friends.
"I suppose it could be a laugh, right? We can watch and see who sounds like a cat being strangled" Caroline giggled. This made me feel more nervous about it because I really wanted to take part in the karaoke night, but I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of my new friends and be associated with "a cat being strangled".
"Yeah, ok. Let's do it. I could do with a good laugh. Stefan, do you fancy coming?" Elena said, smiling.
"You know what, I'll come, what about you Damon?"
Everyone turned to look at Damon in anticipation to see what he was going to say. Some of them (Bonnie and Caroline) didn't want him to come. Whereas, others (Amy and Elena) did want him to come and felt that he shouldn't be forced to be left out of an evening out. On the other hand, Stefan remained impartial, because he didn't know if he wanted his brother to be there or not, thinking about his possible behavior that he could express.
"Well, you know what, considering you asked so nicely, I think I will come." He stated with his trademark smirk spread across his handsome face.
