When Elena was gone, Keara took a gulp of her vervain laced wine. It was a very good thing that she had researched compulsion, she thought to herself.

Keara giggled. This whole town seemed to be a vampire haven. If Damon wouldn't change her, maybe Elena would. Or maybe her boyfriend Stefan?

She stood up and stretched her long limbs and walked with purpose into her house. Almost running to her bedroom, she found some skinny jeans, an off white corded sweater and knee high suede boots. She touched up her makeup and looked at reflection. She looked flushed – she was excited, but sexy at the same time.

Jumping into her Jeep, she drove with determination to Damon's boarding house. She had decided now was the time to see if she could convince him to change her. If he wouldn't, then she would find Elena or this Stefan guy.

When she pulled up to the boarding house, it was dark. She had a moment of apprehension as she got out of the Jeep. She was walking into the home of a person that could easily harm her. She wasn't really worried about dying. She still had a little over a year. Her birthday was next month and she would be 24.

Walking up to the door, she raised her fist to knock, but suddenly the door opened and there stood Damon. He had on a pair of black jeans and nothing else. She took a sharp intake of breath. He was gorgeous. She had almost forgotten how good he looked. Her eyes raked over his body and stopped at the "V" that lead to his groin. She licked her lips unconsciously.

"Like something you see?" Damon smirked.

Keara instantly flushed with embarrassment. This was the man that took her virginity, but he was still mostly a stranger to her.

"Can I come in," she whispered.

He turned aside and she stepped in. She stopped short, however, when she saw Elena at the couch by the fire with whom she assumed was Stefan. So, this must be the place where all the vamps hang out, she thought to herself amused.

"Is there somewhere where we can talk?" She asked Damon hesitantly.

"We can go to my bedroom," he answered with a grin.

"Ok," Keara answered quietly

She followed Damon as he walked up the stairs – he had the most amazing body, his back was so sculpted. And, his ass, she was getting wet just thinking about it.

Damon opened the door to his room and she stepped inside. Her heart instantly started to race. She wondered if he could hear it.

He just stood there and while Keara was trying to get the courage to ask him if he would be willing to change her, another thought popped into her head. She wanted it to be him to change her. She didn't realize that she had felt this way about him until she saw him again. But, Damon had gotten under her skin. And, she liked that.

She cleared her throat and whispered, "I want you to change me."

"To change you how?" Damon wasn't going to make this easy on her. If she wanted this, she was going to have to explicitly tell him what she wanted.

"I want you to make me a vampire." Keara stated more forcefully this time.

Even though Damon knew what she wanted, his heart picked up just hearing her say it. He had thought about her constantly these previous two months. He had planned to try to compel her to forget him, but he just couldn't do it. He realized with a shock that he had wanted her to come to him. He wanted her. All of her. And he wanted to do this for her.

"If I do this for you, what do I get in return?" He questioned. He was half serious.

"You get me." She replied.

And, that was all it took for Damon to make his decision.
