Chapter 7
"You're a vampire?" Edward asked rhetorically.
"Took you long enough..." Damon rolled his eyes; he could feel their eyes watching every move he made. They were on edge and he loved it.
And then he saw it... Of all the things he never thought he'd see, oh this was hilarious, he couldn't contain his laughter any longer. The Cullen's watched him in both surprise and confusion.
"You sparkle? That's why you avoid the sun" He laughed "Could you be anymore gay?"
Edward frowned, quickly stepping out off the sun ray and into the cloud shadows.
"And you don't" Carlisle stated.
Damon sniggered "...no cause real vampire don't sparkle"
Emmett growled, his eyes glaring at him.
"Down boy" Damon commanded, Carlisle put a hand forward stopping Emmett in mid-action of pounding onto Damon. Making him growl louder when Damon sent him a smirk in return.
"You don't burn either, why?" Carlisle questioned; almost intrigued by him.
"Wouldn't you like to know..."
There were so many questions running through Edward's head and he was sure Carlisle wanted to ask them also. How come they ate? Or slept? Or what about the fact that their eyes didn't change color and the fact they couldn't smell their scent, they couldn't even sense them?
And by the way in which Damon so easily killed Victoria like she was just a minuscule little rag doll, they were in serious disadvantage, were they older or just stronger?
Putting all that aside, all Edward could think about was Bella's sister. NO doubt this was her source for knowing so much about Vampire's…
"Does Aria know what you are?" Edward questioned. He watched as Damon halt his pacing sending him a condescending smile.
That was all he needed, his anger at her quickly returning.
"You know your girlfriend is a real hypocrite, mouthing on about how Bella shouldn't turn... I mean she should know she's dating a vampire-"
Before he could finish his sentence he was thrown back, Esme's warning shout coming to late as Damon in a blink of an eye just as fast as the night of the fight had speed grab him by the neck and crashed him full force in to a tree.
"YOU don't know what you're talking about. I suggest you watch your mouth kid, before you end up like the red-head bitch back there" He motioned to the corpse of Victoria that lay feet from them.
He surveyed the other Cullen's in case anyone decided to try and rescue Edward from under his grip, but all he saw was that Emmett guy being held back by the Doc. He smirked re-directing his attention back to Edward, banging his head against the tree one more time as he struggled to get out of his hold.
"Better question is…" He leant up "Does Bella knows who you are" He whispered in his ear.
"You already know she does..." Edward grumbled.
He smirked at him, letting go of him - speeding as he put some distance between him and the Cullen's; Esme instantly rushing to Edward side….
"Clever…but what I meant was…does she really know who you are?" That caught the attention of all the Cullen's as if they were hypnotized by what he had to say. "Does she know just how much of an animal you can you be? How much of a killer? How you so badly want to eat her? Drain her alive and taste that oh so sweet and pure nectar of hers?"
He watched as Edward's eyes changed to a darker color, shaking his head trying to get rid of the pleasant image of the urge, his smile widened…. "I could always tell you how she tasted one bite that's .takes"
Edward growled his growl sounding different from any other - it sounded more lose, more animalistic and Carlisle couldn't help but wonder just how much Damon could get into their heads. All this time they were so worried with trying to get a read of them, some vision of their past or future action, an insight into their feelings to really assess just what they were up to… he never worried about what they could do to them….
Damon seemed different to his brother Stefan… and seeing how easily he could provoke Emmett's and Edward's animal side, had him doubting just how much evil he was capable of…. should they even be worried about the Volturi at this point? Damon seemed more of a treat than them…
"Stay away from her…"
"Or what?" Damon smirked quickly being replaced by a frown as he watched how Edward so quickly got a hold of his emotions calming himself, the kid had some control he'll give him that…oh well the more fun it would be to play games with him.
A crack from a branch had all of the vampire's turning right in a flash. A small girl no older than 15 emerged from the woods, blonde with freakishly green eyes; Her innocent eyes locking with those of Damon's widen at the sight of his exposed fangs.
His smirked broaden, just as her mouth was opening to utter a scream Damon was beside her, palm pressed against her mouth muffling her scream.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you" He whispered, trailing his hand on her neck. Any other day he would have killed her in sight if she had discovered him; Maybe even had a taste of blood, but he still had Aria's blood in his system and it was more filling than anything else he was satisfied for now… but the Cullen's didn't know that…
"Damon, let her go" Carlisle warned.
"No… see you and your family have a good thing going on here…. I wonder what would happen if this little girl's blood was spilled?"
"You don't want to do that, there are werewolves around they'll hunt you" Alice said.
"Please" Damon rolled his eyes "You mean your steroid looking werewolves, yeah… I 'd like to see them try"
"You let me at him, I can crush him" Emmett argued, waiting for the go from Carlisle but he just shook his head
"Let's talk about it" Carlisle reasoned.
"Sure… I'll let her go as soon as Edward here" He nodded with his head "Has a little taste of her, I mean come on you don't even have to bite her neck just you know her wrist I'm sure Bella won't mind..."
"We don't drink Human blood" Rosalie snarled.
"Oh no sweetheart, you choose not to, there's a difference"
"You know I just don't see it?" Edward taunted
"See what, what your blind now? Maybe I hit your head too hard" Damon mocked
"Edward" Carlisle warned.
"What she sees in you? You're a monster, we all are… but you you're just pure evil…. why would she want to be with you?" He mocked taking a step closer to him, stopping when he saw Damon hold on the girl tighten around her neck, pushing her head aside.
"Keep going the little girl's death would be on your head" Damon smirked.
"Go ahead kill her, see how Aria likes it. She doesn't strike me as the forgiving type when it comes to innocent killing" Edward taunted.
Damon's eyes turned dark, a clear sign that he was hitting a sour spot. Carlisle and Alice warned him to stop but he kept going "To be with a killer? Tell me does she really know what you are?"
Damon snarled, "I did warn you"
"Damon NO!" Carlisle shouted only fueling Damon's spar of the moment action. In a speed movement he sank his teeth on the blonde girl's neck quickly draining her of her blood. He let go of her body. Watching it fall to the ground just as the Cullen's reached her, he was already meters away.
"Love to stay and chat more, but you know I got things to do, places to go" With a mocked and a salute he was gone.
"Okay let's lay you down" Stefan said
After Damon had abruptly left, Stefan had helped Aria up the stairs into her room. She closed her eyes as she climbed into the bed quickly laying down and turning right as to face Stefan.
She felt as he pulled the covers up, covering her up to her shoulders.
"Do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Aria murmured opening her eyes slowly to see his reaction.
"I think you're doing what you think is best for her…" He answered honestly.
"But is it?" Stefan frowned, watching Aria's doubtful eyes locked with his. It seemed Aria and Damon had more things in common than he realized. And he watched as the facade Aria had put up for the last days in front of her sister crumbled down, as she herself doubted her plan.
And in all honestly Stefan couldn't blame her for what she was doing. Elena had often talked about changing but not wanting to leave her family behind. He didn't know the reason behind Damon's refusal to change Aria at nineteen but he had seen both their expression's when the topic was discussed that Aria deep down was grateful for Damon's choice.
He had a strong feeling that had a lot to do as to why Aria was so insistent for her sister to wait, still he found himself agreeing with her - maybe she needed to wait, he couldn't understand why she wanted to give everything up? Her family, friends that was what was stopping Elena from changing to… he also had a feeling there was a bigger picture in Bella's decision; maybe it wasn't her own choice? Or something, someone was pushing her towards it.
"Yes…" Stefan answered "I think it is" Aria nodded her eyes slowly drifting shut, making sure she was really out, he closed the door and headed to the library.
She was in some kind of forest, ironic to say in all her life she had only spent time in two forests, at forks and in mystic falls….
The more she walked around, the more she realized she was still in Forks at the edge of the reservation.
'Alexandria you need to ready yourself' She heard a voice, a whisper of a voice passing through with the wind of the trees, she turned around searching for the source.
To find nothing…. she frowned, she was sure she knew that voice. It sounded almost female. This dream didn't feel like the others, it didn't feel like a dream created by Damon, but it wasn't natural either...Something, someone was creating it… that is if it was even a dream.
'You know it's not...' The voice said again, she turned around but again wherever that voice had come from it was gone.
So then why was she feeling dread, anxious… this weren't her feelings...
'Focus!' The voice yelled. Jumping at the sudden intrusion, she frowned.
"Focus on what?" She called out, but received no answer. She groaned in exasperation, mulling over and over what the voice had said. It said to focus but on what….
She stopped walking, standing in the middle of the forest. For some reason she felt like she needed to stop there. The feelings she was getting had intensified rapidly on this particular clearing.
Exhaling, she closed her eyes concentrating on the feelings that she was sensing, trying to pin point where they came from or who they belonged to… maybe find the source of the mysterious voice…
'Did I kill your mate?' She suddenly heard it; sounded like a women's voice.
'Let's talk about it' Now that voice sounded almost like Dr. Cullen
'We don't drink human blood' Was she… hearing the Cullen's thoughts?
'You're a monster...pure evil…. why would she want to be with you?' okay that was definitely Edward. The voices were getting clearer and so were their feelings…
'Keep going the little girl's death would be on your head' Damon! Aria opened her eyes and was surprised to find herself in the middle of the scene. Damon had his hand wrapped around a blonde girl's throat, his eyes dark clearly pissed off.
Then there was Edward standing a few feet apart from him taunting him, while the Cullen's watched the scene being cautious of any sudden movement.
'Go ahead killed her, she how Aria likes it' She narrowed her eyes at him 'She doesn't strike me as the forgiving type when it comes to innocent killing'.
She watched with worried eyes, as Damon's eyes darkened. Edward was pushing his luck, but she was more worried about Damon. "Don't listen to him Damon!"
Suddenly it seemed Edward's voice was duplicated, it sounded like an echo all around her 'Why would she want to be with you?', ' You're a monster', 'Pure evil'
And suddenly the voice turned into Damon, except as she looked at him, his mouth wasn't moving. 'She'll leave you' 'Hate you like everybody else', 'You don't deserve her', 'But you love her', ' You'll die for her'. 'But how can she love a monster like you'
She turned around in a circle trying to find whoever was saying that, but it was useless. The voice, no Damon's voice sounded so confused, sad, broken. And as Aria looked at him, his mouth may not be moving… but every instinct, every core of her body told her as she looked into his eyes… that, that was what he was thinking… feeling…
Was she hearing Damon's thoughts? The battle in his subconscious?.
"But I do! Damon I love you" She shouted, rushing to him.
'I did warn you...'
Aria awakened with a startled breath, not understanding what just happened in her dream. No...No it wasn't a dream….
Her hand wiping the sweat off her forehead, and that's when she saw it… her hand was glowing... a white glow. Startled she looked at her other hand bringing both of her glowing hand up close to her face.
It didn't hurt, or burn, nothing… frowning she caught sight of her reflection on the medium mirror sitting on her counter and she gasped.., Her brown eyes where now green. She felt the sudden rush of powers she felt whenever she used her abilities. Then the light suddenly died and her eyes in the blink of an eye were back to their normal color….
She frowned, just what in the world was going on?
Her bedroom door opened, Damon walked in. Aria's frown deepened as she watch his disheveled state, hands covered in blood, as were the corner of his mouth… he was upset and angry not a good combination.
"What happened?" Aria jumped from the bed, grabbing the towel he had discarded hours ago on the chair on his way to him. Quickly grabbing his hand and cleaning the blood.
"It's not mine" He calmly said, grabbing her chin and forcing her to look at him "Victoria's dead..."
Just like in her dream… and in her dream Damon had fed on a blonde girl… in her dream Damon's hands where covered in blood, and as she gazed into his eyes, she knew.
The emotions she was getting from him, the same look she had in her dream… no she didn't know how it was possible but her dream just turned into a vision.
"Did you kill her?" Aria murmured.
Damon focused on Aria, his eyes furrowing in confusion. Of course he killed her why else would he say that… but he knew she wasn't asking about that, his eyes widened with realization,
"How did you?"
"I don't know… it's okay you know… if you did? I saw how he pushed you… we all make mistakes Damon"
He growled releasing her from his hold; he sped over to the window. She shouldn't be so forgiving of him, any normal human being shouldn't say it's okay to kill someone, how could she say that, how could she say that and mean it.
"I didn't" He expected a sigh of relief at his confession, even St. Stefan would have done that, but she just nodded.
She was glad a small yet larger part of her was glad he had restrain himself, but if he had killed her she meant was she said it was okay. It saddened her to see him not accept that she loved him no matter what, and that she understood his mood swings and that he made mistakes.
He thought that he didn't deserve any of it, not even her understanding of his supernatural side… and sometimes he forgot she was supernatural herself…
"I know it angers you…confuses you… but Damon I do understand… if being a supernatural being turns you into a monster then I'm just a monster as you"
In a flash he was standing in front of her, his eyes looking down at her – how dare she call herself a monster? She could never be...ever. His gaze was intense, her words had struck a nerve within him, he could never see that within her...she didn't realize how important she actually was to him...how he saw her..."You're not a monster…you can kill a… deer for all I care and you would still be as innocent as a bird"
Aria sighed, turning around she opened her desk drawer, and grabbing one of her singles they had bought earlier that day. Damon could barely make out the title 'I love thee', he watched her walk to the stereo opening the CD player lid and shutting it, choosing the track of her selection
"I thought you said-"
"I changed my mind… at least for this track…just listen to it, really listen to the lyrics" she said, looking at him from over her shoulder as she hit play.
She guided him to the bed, sitting him on it as she sat on his lap facing towards him. Her eyes watching him lovingly, he needed this; lifting her hand she brushed her fingertips through his hair making him close his eyes...he loved her touch – it was all he needed to calm down...
Oh his eyes, his eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
His hair, his hair
Falls perfectly without him trying
She saw him smirk at that line, and she smiled. Brushing a few more strands of his hair.
He's so beautiful,
and I try to tell him everyday
"Beautiful? I'm more like damn sexy" He playfully teased.
"Shh…" Shushing him as the melody continued to play.
Yeah I know, I know,
When I compliment him
He won't believe me
And it so, its so
Sad to think he don't see what I see
He frowned at the last few lines, his eyes opening to meet her brown ones.
But every time he ask me if am okay,
I say,
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
He wanted it to stop, she knew that. "Just listen" She said planting a small kiss on his lips.
And when you smile,
The Whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause boy you're amazing
Just the way you are
His lips, his lips
I could kiss them all day if he let me
His laugh, his laugh
He hates but I think its so sexy
Oh you know, you know, you know
Id never ask you to change
If perfect is what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
How could he be so stupid? How many more times did he have to force her to convince him that she wanted to be with him? Aria saw him for who he truly was, took the good and the bad and just love him for who he was….
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are,
And when you smile,
the whole world stops and stares for a while
Cause boy you're amazing
Just the way you are
A thing that not even Katherine was able to do… Aria was his…. why had he been so stupid as to question that time after time…screw the part where he didn't deserve her. St. Stefan had Elena, Stefan had, had even Katherine, but Aria…Aria only wanted him, Aria was his. She accepted him and wanted him, chased him time after time...to Aria it was only him.
He looked into her eyes, as he heard her singing the last few lines along with the song.
"Just the way you are…." She sang softly "I love you…. you Damon just the way you are…. just get it into your head already"
His eyes search her, and for the first time he didn't see anger, or sadness nor pity but bewilderment. Had he finally had an epiphany? The way he was looking at her sent shivers down her spine, his eyes were furrowed in deep thought but they were shinning with lust and passion...
"I love you" Damon said, it took everything in Aria to stifle a gasp at hearing his words. It wasn't the first time Damon had said those words to her, granted she said it more often than him and his usual replied will be 'I know' in reality she knew it meant me too, she knew he felt the same way.
But then there were rare occasions like these where he said those three little words and it always took her breath away. The passion he said it with, it always made up for all those time he didn't. Yet this time it was different, his eyes betraying the fervor in which he was saying those words with so much emotion behind them that it left her speechless.
Sitting there their eyes locked…silence fell between them, their eyes saying all that was needed – gripping her tight on her lower spine, he pulled her closer to him; her breathing instantly becoming deeper. Her heart was racing, did he realize what he did to her in the moment of him saying that... feeling the goose bumps rising on her skin from the excitement she smiled. Slowly he moved his hand up her spine to her lower neck so he could pull her head down to him, his eyes never leaving hers... she could sense what he wanted and it was making her head spin; feeling his lips brush against hers – Aria instantly became lost in his embrace. Wrapping her arms around his shoulders, she deepened the kiss by slipping her tongue into his mouth; this pulling an excited growl from him that she loved hearing.
Feeling his tongue join with hers, Aria had to stifle a moan; god she wanted him so bad – needed to feel him so bad.
She felt him trail soft kisses down her neck, sighing as she felt him linger a bit on her pulse point. Her hands untangling from his hair wandered down towards his chest unbuttoning his black shirt whilst she gently sucked on his earlobe for a moment then began tracing the outline of his ear with the tip of her tongue; hearing him groan, she felt the corners of her lips rise.
His eyes locked with hers in a teasing glare as he saw her smirk in return, her hands working quickly at removing his shirt - leaning down she started placing open mouth kisses on his exposed chest. Damon was always the one in control, so it always fascinated and turned her on when she actually managed to make him respond in the way he did from her touch.
Growling he grabbed her by the arms hearing her let out a quiet giggle, their lips finding each other in a fiery kiss and in a flash he had her laying on the centre of the bed his shirt discarded and hers to.
Aria watched him smirk before seeing his face lean down, she felt his tongue trace the canal between her breasts as his cool finger massaged her back unclasping the clip of her bra...Her back arching towards him as his lip paid extra close attention to one of her breasts daring his teeth to the other one and repeating the process.
Feeling the tips of his fangs trail a path down her belly, she couldn't help but let another moan escape her lips. Lifting her head trying to catch a glimpse at him, she watched him smile that cunning smile of his that all but sent her over the edge as his head disappear between her legs.
Wriggling with anticipation she bent her knee propping it flat against the mattress, Damon smirked at her eagerness his lips kissing the inside of her thigh… His tongue and teeth kissing and nibbling seductively along the inside of her thigh, he loved every small noise that she made from his touch.
"Damon…" He heard her moan and he shh'd her in a conceit manner, his fingers trailing from her hips to her ankles as he gently removed her lower underwear leaving her naked to his eyes and he basked at beautiful sight.
Their eyes locked for a moment, never leaving each other as he lowered himself to her again, watching as a pink flush appeared on her cheeks. She loved looking at him – so she loved watching him do what he did to her...
Aria watched him as he teased her, their eyes locking…and there was nothing sexier than seeing Damon go down on her. Seeing him pass her one last mischievous glance she soon felt his lips close round on her sensitive nub, sending her hip arching towards him as a louder moan escaped her lips.
She closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of his mouth on her sensitive part, capturing her clit as he flicked and massaged it with his tongue. Her hips arching towards him with each hard flick, the pressure already building in her belly and as he caught the nub between his teeth she came…
He felt her sweetness rush down his chin and he drew back to lap up her cream hungrily – there were two things he now craved in the world...blood and that. She watched him stand up his eyes reflecting nothing but mischief and lust - a small trail of her juice visible in the corner of his mouth, she saw him smirk as he caught her stare. Out the corner of her eye, she could see his hands unzipping the jeans he wore...feeling her heart to pick up in its pace watching them drop to the ground...
He made his way towards her, stopping inches from her lips as he watched her study his face as he did her. Grabbing the back of his neck she brought his lips to hers, licking in the corner of his mouth before kissing his lips forcefully; tasting herself on him and deepening the kiss lapping at every corner that offered that sweet taste she had offered him not minutes ago.
He growled when he felt her lick the tips of his fangs and he pounced quickly – positioning himself between her legs he slid into her. His groans mixing with her moans as he thrust into her - burring himself deep inside of her.
Aria's breathing quickened; she could feel her power starting to build again, this time at a much faster pace. And there was very little she could do to lessen the blow as she felt her powers rush through her and into Damon, she felt him stiffen as he adjusted to the blow of her powers combined with the temporary ability to read her feelings.
There was no need for words, no need to say faster, harder or any of them sorts of things. They were connected and they could feel it all and it was - as always driving them insane. He could feel her building up and what and how she wanted him to make love to her…faster, harder, slower, softer… it was like reading each other minds with no words spoken.
He could feel what he was making her feel and in return, turning him on even more - it was addictive, mad, driving him insane and the best experience ever. And he basked at the feeling that he was the only that got to experience it.
It was in that moment when they were connected as one that he truly let his guard down. There was no doubt in his mind about his feelings for her when he could dig deep inside of her and find, feel her real thoughts and emotions on the matter.
He watched as she moaned, her cheeks flushing as one of her hands grabbed her hair in bliss trying to finding something to grip onto as she felt her orgasm start to build inside of her.
He watched as she bit her bottom lip in pure pleasure, her eyes opening and locking with his, letting out a deep moan as he felt her wall's tighten around him. His ring hand intertwining with hers as he delivered a few hard thrusts and he watched her as she came with a roaring moan - just watching her, feeling her releasing sent him onto his own release...
