I know I promised Caroline in this chapter but, I really liked how it turned out this way. So I promise she will appear next chapter, sorry…
Don´t own anything except OC…
-Uff… I am exhausted!- Said Bonnie while she sat in the, now impeccable, couch. The house had the need of furniture and I had to get to the supermarket. Finally the light was back and I could get to see what was in the room upstairs.
Seeing the house, now clean, I could see I really liked it. The floor was of a dark wooden color. It had a huge chimney and enormous booksellings! Upstairs there were three rooms, mine and two others. I had not yet decided what I would do with the rooms upstairs; maybe a TV room with a comfortable couch.
We have got the things out of the car and they were piled in the living room. I had got to clean my room upstairs and didn´t let anyone got close there. I locked the door and cleaned it all myself.
-This house is really beautiful- Said Elena as she and Stephan sat in a couch in front of Bonnie.
-Thank you Elena. My father designed it all himself. I need to buy new furniture. The one of my house in Chicago was sell to buy new one here- I said while I cleaned a vase and put it over the chimney.
-Well, I guess we have to keep going- Said Stephan as he took Elena´s hand and kissed it while he got on his feet.
-Can you give me a lift? - Said Bonnie getting up as well.
-Do you what to come and take dinner in my house?- Asked Elena with a smile. She was very sweet but I was dying of curiosity to see what was in hidden in the secret room.
-I am fine Elena, but thanks. In fact I´ll invite you all to dine here tomorrow. What do you say?- I smiled at them and they all said they will be here at five o´clock to help me cook.
-See you tomorrow- Bonnie gave me a hug and closed the door behind her as Stephan and Elena had already said goodbye.
I was left standing in front of the closed door and I gave a sigh. I looked to the celling and then made my way upstairs.
I turned on the light of my room and discovered that I really liked it. The walls were of a dark red and it had a huge window that was covered with some branches of a tree outside. The huge bed was without bedding but the place had potential.
I went to the closet and got inside the whole I have made in the wall. I started to touch the wall in order to find a switch to turn on the light there.
-Come on…-I said frustrated as I could not find it. After five minutes I finally got it and turned on the light.
As I have seen with my candle, the room was covered with books, but also weapons. Stakes of all sizes, some sort of darts and grenades. There were at least one hundred of them! I kneeled to get to a drawer. Inside there were many bottles with a strange liquid in it. I then wondered around seeing strange notes that I really didn´t understand. I then opened the showcase that held a bracelet, two rings and a necklace.
I took the bracelet and tried it on. It fixed me perfectly which was weir because my wrist was really thin.
-Nooo!- I heard someone scream from the distance.
I turned around confused. What was that? I got out of the room and made my way downstairs. Suddenly I heard that someone opened a door and closed it rudely outside. I opened the front door and looked around to find the source of the scandal.
I searched in the darkness until I found a dark figure in the sidewalk. He had the back on me and he held his head in his hands with exasperation. He had a black jacket and was all dressed in black.
-Damon?- I asked as I fully opened the door and I stood in the frame of the door. He turned to look at me and he raised an eyebrow inquisitively.
-Get inside Kira- He said with a tired voice and giving me the back again. He stumbled a little bit but recovered balance a few moments later.
-Hey! Are you all right?-I gave a step out in the porch and started to walk towards him.
-NO Kira! I am not alright okay! Now can you please leave me alone!- His eyebrows almost touched each other and his gaze looked far more dangerous than ever. I could smell the alcohol as if he had got showered in it.
-You are drunk- I said as I embraced myself to keep me warm.
-Bravo! You indeed are a really cleaver girl aren´t you? - He enclosed and opened his eyes as he spat the words. I could see he was really in a great emotional pain and I would not let him drive to his house in that state.
"Don´t fall into his stupid game Kira!" -Come, I´ll drive you home- I said as I took him by the hand and I made him walk towards my Traverse. He frowned more as he looked at my hand taking his.
-Believe me sweetheart, I will get home just fine- He said as he made me turn towards him again –Have you ever been in love?- He asked serious and with those deep blue eyes of his. His pupils were dilated and I could only see a ring of ice surrounding the darkness of his pupils.
-I don´t see why is that relevant in this conversation…- was my answer as I looked away. In fact I had never been truly in love so…
He took my head in his hands and waited for me to look at him –Don´t ever be Kira, because love will take away from you everything that is pure and good. It leaves you with nothing-.
-Then it´s not love- I said raising my chin and looking him straight in the eyes.
He seemed confused and blinked. He didn´t let go of my head. He just caressed my cheek with his thumb.
-Come on Damon, maybe you don´t need me to get you home, but at least do it for my peace of mind. Think about it… as your good action of the year- I said with a smile and took one hand away from my cheek and took it to guide him towards the porch of the house.
-I´ll get my keys. Will you promise me to wait, please?- I turned towards him and raised an eyebrow.
He passed his hand threw his hair frustrated –I don´t need this Kira. If you only knew…-.
-Come on! I´ll tell you what. If you stay here until I get the keys, I´ll… I´ll invite you to dine here tomorrow. What you say about that? - I smiled and went into the house to find my purse. He would have to guide me towards his house because I had no idea where the Salvatore´s leaved.
I got out to the porch and found it empty. He was nowhere to be seen. I gave a sigh and rolled my eyes. Well, at least I have tried…
-Are you coming or what?- I heard him called from the door of the co-driver seat. I smiled and closed the door.
I made my way and unlocked the Traverse. We both got in at the same time and I started the car.
-So… can I ask what happened?- I made my way out of the street as he told me where I had to turn and when.
He turned his head towards me lazily and raised an eyebrow –I killed Elena´s brother, Jeremy-.
I braked rudely and looked at him with big eyes –What?- Damon sighed and in the speed of a second he took me in his arms and I was now in the co-driver´s seat as he was driving now.
-Yeah, or at least that´s what I thought. Now he is just resting peaceful in his bed. And you know what? I am a vampire. I am a son of a bitch, soul less monster that doesn´t give a dam about anything or anyone. That is why I killed Jeremy and so many others before him. I was born in the XIX century and I got in love with Katherine Pierce who´s a Doppelgänger, and it´s exactly like Elena Gilbert. Not to mention I am in love with my brother´s girlfriend and thought I kissed her yesterday, but in fact I had kissed Katherine, who´s back in town to be the selfish bitch she has always been- He said this in such a speed that I had to make an extra effort to follow the story.
-Are you on drugs Damon?- I asked as I took his hand –Please stop the car-.
He laughed loudly –No Kira. I have never been more honest in my entire life- He parked the car and we were in a lonely path of the way. It was only forest at both sides of us. I was starting to curse myself. I was an impertinent, I was all alone now. If I disappeared no one would object. No one would care and miss me enough to figure out what had happened to me. The few people I knew in this town seemed to be involved with this guy.
I looked at him with big eyes and I put my back in the door of the car, putting myself as far from him as I could.
-And I have tried you know!- He got closer to me –I have tried to be a better man for her. But she just… doesn´t care- He took me by the hand and drove me closer to him.
-Damon, let me out- I said as I could feel his breath against my face –You are not okay-.
-I´m telling the truth- he shook me by the shoulder. I felt an aching pain where my bruise was. I had not yet have the time to cure it, and now, maybe I would never have it –You know…- he said as he took away lock of hair from my face and put it behind my ear. He looked desperate and I knew if he was another person I would fight until I died for him to let me go. But with him, it was like if he was hypnotic –I have never been good enough for anyone. Not for my father, for Kathleen, for Elena. Not even for Stephan-.
I just stared at him with my big brown eyes and waited. What he was telling me had no sense at all. But he said it with such a feeling and pain that I could not ignore it. He took a deep breath and suddenly his eyes changed. The eyes of a monster where replacing his beautiful blue ones and suddenly I saw that his fangs were increasing of size.
So he was telling the truth! He was a vampire! I tried to free myself but his hands where like steel bands.
-You smell so good- He said as he was getting closer to my neck. This was not happening! This could not be happening. How this handsome young man does could turn into a… vampire.
-Damon? Please! - My voice was just a whisper. I had to keep clam. To find a way out of this. He was all confused and angry. He needed to be calm and take cared off –I don´t really think you are not good enough-.
Luckily for me I could not have chosen better words. But what really surprised me was that I really meant them. With his fangs touching my neck! "I must be losing my mind". He stared at me for a long time. I could see how the demon left his features and the blue eyed man appeared again in front of me.
-You don´t know me. You just don´t what me to break your neck- He said with a cynical grin.
-You are right about me don´t wanting to die, and yes I don´t know you. It shouldn´t be me the one telling you this. You should already know it- I frowned and turned my face at one side –I can believe this-.
-Don´t worry. In fact I envy you- He said as he let go of my face and lay in the seat heavily –You will not have to live with this knowledge the rest of your life. In fact in moments later you will not remember any of this-.
I looked at him with big eyes and this time I could not control the fear in my face –Is that or, indeed break your neck sweet heart. And I think I already have my dose of it this night-.
-Why you did it?- I could not helped the quivering in my voice –Kill Jeremy?-.
-Because that´s who I am. I don´t do things like this because I have a reason!- He raised his voice and frowned –Because I don´t care!-.
I raised an eyebrow and forgot my fear. I could manage him screaming, mad, and cynical; but heartbroken and vulnerable… I was lost.
-I can clearly see that- I crossed my arms and raised an eyebrow.
-You really don´t know who are you talking to, right beauty?- He moved his mouth in a strange grin. He was really drunk.
-Well, if I am going to forget this in a moment, I would like to say what I really think. I guess I will not have another chance- That was just half true. I expected to make some time. I had to think about something to get out of this one.
-Mmmm… good point- He moved his head to one side and the other. He gave another deep breath and started the car –Come, I´ll take you home-.
-I don´t think is a good idea for you to return near Elena- He rolled his eyes but didn´t turned around.
None of us said anything and I was just squeezing my brain for something to get me out of this mess. I mean this man could kill me in the blink of an eye! -That´s my home- He said as we reached a beautiful huge house. I opened my mouth and the closed it. It was impressive.
-Happy now? Okay, now I´ll drop you in your home. As you have confirmed this town is everything but safe Kira- He turned the steering wheel and accelerated the car. I grabbed to the seat with all my strength.
-Is Jeremy truly alright?- I asked with a knock on the throat.
I heard him take a deep breath and took the steering wheel with more strength.
-Yes he is. And can we please drop this topic. I could not care less about the little Gilbert boy-.
I nodded. I really didn´t wanted Elena to get hurt. But I didn´t belive he had no reason to do what he did. Of course it was to extremist but, at least he was still alive –So… A vampire, ehh?-.
He gave me a little smile but didn´t took his gaze from the road –You should be far more affected by this than you are, don´t tell me that all this twilight thing has made us less threatening?-.
-Well, if you ask me, they had. But isn´t that bad- I said with a smile.
-Are you kidding me!- He said raising his eyebrows as if I had just cursed his mother.
-I told you, if I am to forget this I will say everything I think. And I think is a good romance novel- He just snorted and rolled his eyes.
-And who said I am not affected. I am a really good actress- I opened the window and greeted the cold wind against my cheeks and messing my hair. I suddenly remembered the stakes in my room. Did they work with… him? Did my parents know a creature like him was real? If Stephan was his brother and Damon was born all those years ago, it meant Stephan was a vampire too. But he looked so kind and friendly. Now I could understand his reaction towards my comment of the classic music. He indeed had the excuse of the old people to like it.
I laughed and shook my head –What´s funny?- He asked angry again.
-I don´t think the truth will make you happy- I said as I turned towards him and saw how really handsome he was.
I really was panicked by the fact he wasn´t a normal man and that he would drink blood and probably killed Elena´s brother. But also I was broke by the state he was right now. He seemed broken. Hollow. I bit my lower lip and looked down.
We arrived home and he parked the car exactly where it was when we left. We got down the car and went to the porch. I knew now he would make me forget. But I really didn´t wanted to. It was as if he would take a peace of my life. And I really didn´t wanted anyone to mess with my mind.
I searched for my keys quickly and almost ran to the door. But I wasn´t gonna be that lucky. He took me be the arm and made me face him.
-I have to make something first beauty- He took my face in his hands. I shook my face.
-No Damon- I tried to take a step away but I couldn´t.
-Is for the best- He said frowning again –Please Kira, I have screw thing up today, big! Don´t make me make a mistake with you too. Not with you- He said close to me.
-I will not tell anyone. I don´t what you messing with my head- I said trembling in his arms. He seemed to doubt for a moment and then shook his head.
–I´ll be here tomorrow for dinner beauty. A deal is a deal. And thank you, in a way you, made me feel better- He gave me a small smile.
He looked at me straight in the eyes and his pupils reacted as he gave me the order –I want you to forget everything I said this night, you will go straight to bed and sleep in peace- I didn´t move as I got really shocked by the way his eyes hypnotize me
-Good night beauty- He kissed my forehead sweetly and I felt my knees become jelly. And with that he disappeared. I was left standing in the frame of my front door with my head so confused that I felt dizzy.
I looked down and saw the bracelet in my hand. I remembered everything…
What you think?
