It was the day Abby had to leave. She packed all her things up and expected the trip to be a pretty good one, but Damon was standing in the garage watching her.
"Is there something I can do for you, Demon?" Abby closed the hatch of her car and looked at Damon.
"There is, actually, something I would like to do for you." Damon smiled and Abby sighed.
"What is it?" Abby was impatient because she had to leave.
"I'd like to escort you to Italy, if you don't mind. I haven't seen it in such a long time and I would like to see where I used to live, is all," Damon explained.
"Did Edward put you up to this?" Abby was catching on, but Damon didn't show it.
"He'd rather me not go with you. I give you my word I'll be out of the way." Damon sounded convincing.
"I guess I can handle it. Grab your things and get in the car, loser. We're leaving in about four minutes," Abby informed him.
Damon came back out with nothing. Abby was confused, but then Damon grinned. The car backed away from the driveway of the Cullens' house and Abby drove.
"You're going to have to buy a plane ticket when we get to the airport," Abby informed Damon.
"I don't need to," Damon retorted.
"Okay, then." Abby turned her attention back to the road and within an hour they got to the airport.
Abby got out, carrying her duffel bag. Damon walked at her side and plenty of young women were staring at the two. When Abby got to the counter, she was about to check in when Damon pulled her back. He then directed her to another area for the same airline, except the person checking them in was a woman. Abby gave Damon a look and then made Damon check in for the two of them. Damon charmed the woman and he got a ticket for the flight. Abby glared at Damon as he led the way to the gate. They had an hour before their flight left and Abby knew she was going to be bored. Damon sat down across from Abby and read the paper that was in the seat next to him. Abby got out a book and was absorbed.
By the time the flight attendant called for their flight, Abby had most of the book finished. Damon was watching people and he stood up to let Abby go ahead of him. When Abby was seated on the plane, she opened her book and Damon took it out of her hands.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Abby was irritated.
"I'm bored," Damon stated, "and I can get away with anything I want."
"You can, can you?" Abby was challenging Damon.
Damon leaned over and kissed Abby. Abby's face showed pure shock and anger. She slapped Damon and he smiled.
"I get what I want…always," Damon stated.
"You bastard! I should have never let you come on this damn trip," Abby spat with her fangs showing.
Damon grinned and Abby sighed heavily with frustration written of her face. She folded her arms across her chest and sulked the rest of the flight. The plane landed in time and Abby got off without a word. Damon seemed amused and while Abby was walking, Damon grabbed Abby's arm and looked at her. Abby glared at Damon and then smiled.
"If I scream you're screwed." Abby knew Damon could hear her.
"If you scream you're dead." Damon didn't seem to think Abby was much of a threat anymore.
As Damon drove the rental car, Abby sat in the passengers' seat and looked out the window. She was losing her touch. Demon knew how she was acting and all of a sudden he took advantage of it. Abby felt like Demon was hiding something and she planned to get it out of him by the end of the trip or at least make him tell her before he left and she stayed.
Damon was enjoying the ride. As soon as he got to Volterra he would ask Abby for directions and if she didn't give them to him he would force it out of her. He wished she was a human sometimes, but it saved him the trouble of turning her himself. He only kept the impression that he was a nice guy around the Cullens. They apparently fell for it. Damon knew Abby was getting softer. She didn't react like he thought she would. It was more of a response Elena would make.
Damon got to the city and Abby met his gaze. She looked tired and drained. Her emerald eyes were darker and Damon knew Abby needed to feed. Damon needed to feed as well, but Abby preferred animals. Maybe Damon could torture Abby by making her drink human blood. Abby looked Damon and knew that he was thinking that.
"How did you know I was thinking it?" Damon was amused.
"I saw it on your face. Besides, I need to talk with Aro before I even try to go hunt," Abby explained.
"You will go hunting or I'm not taking you to Aro," Damon argued.
"You have no idea where the hell it is. I'm the one who is able to threaten you with that kind of stuff, got it" Abby's voice was cold and Damon smirked.
As soon as Damon was instructed to stop, Abby got out and her knee-high leather boots hit the pavement. Abby straightened her leather jacket and Damon watched in amusement.
"Is this some special occasion? Am I under-dressed?" Damon was being sarcastic and Abby knew it.
Abby walked farther and when a cloaked figure approached them, Abby smiled. Damon folded his arms across his chest and looked at the cloaked figure. Abby walked up to the figure and the person took off their hood. It was a guy about as tall as Damon was. He looked at Damon and Abby shook her head. The guy then started walking. Damon caught up with Abby and grabbed her arm for guidance. Abby looked at him and then sighed. Damon chuckled with satisfaction and when they stopped in front of a huge hole. Abby jumped down it after the guy and Damon did the same. It was like an underground road. Damon found that this darkness didn't suit his eyes well and just as he was thinking about it, Abby grabbed his arm and led the way, behind the guy in the cloak. As soon as they had walked a long ways, they stopped at an iron gate with a smaller door cut out of it. The guy ducked through it and Abby and Damon followed. It locked as soon as Damon passed through and they stood in a hallway. At the end was an elevator. A small boy waited there. Abby smiled at him and he noted Damon, jerking his chin up to Damon. Abby made a motion with her hand and the small boy nodded. The elevator ride was uncomfortable, in Damon's opinion. Abby seemed to know these people and Damon felt like he was being watched the whole time.
When the elevator stopped, they were in a reception area. Damon smiled at the girl who was sitting at the counter. She smiled back and the guy put an arm in front of Damon to stop him.
"She's not some prey, Salvatore. Leave her alone or we will kill you," The guy threatened.
"Felix, that's enough," Abby hissed. Damon was surprised to hear it coming from Abby.
Felix led them down another hallway and into another chamber-like area until they came to another room that was somewhat nicer. Abby's eye lit up when she saw a man with long black hair with a cloak of his own. Great, Damon mused to himself.
"Abby, how are you, dear? I knew you would be here today, but of course you told us yourself. Is there any chance any of the Cullens have decided to come join as you are?" The man sounded pleased that Abby had come.
"They decided it wasn't the right time, Aro," Abby informed the man.
"Who is this young man? I haven't seen him in your thoughts before." Aro looked at Damon with an amused expression.
"Damon Salvatore," Damon said with no expression.
"He insisted upon coming, so I couldn't refuse. Edward talked him into coming with me," Abby explained.
"Damon may I?" Aro held out his hand. Damon looked at Abby.
"He wants to hear your thoughts. He has to make physical contact to be able to hear your thoughts, though," Abby explained further.
Damon stepped forward and held out his hand. Aro touched it and closed his eyes. Before long, Aro released Damon's hand and had an amused expression.
"You want her to stay with the Cullens, am I correct?' Aro looked at Damon.
Damon nodded.
"Maybe you should have explained this to her instead of following her, perhaps," Aro suggested.
"I don't need to be told what to do by an old one," Damon spat.
Abby slapped Damon and he grinned at her. Aro then looked at Abby and sighed.
"You need to feed, my dear. I give you full permission to kill one animal in the woods." Aro smiled at Abby and she ran out the door. Damon ran after her.
Damon watched as Abby massacred an elk. As soon as she finished, she wiped her mouth and looked at Damon.
"I suppose you need to feed as well," Abby inferred.
Damon nodded.
"You can't kill anyone in the city or Aro will have you killed," Abby informed Damon.
"That puts a damper on my dining plans, doesn't it?" Damon seemed amused.
"How about…my blood? I know you'd much rather have a human's blood, but maybe this will do until you get back where you can kill a human," Abby offered.
Damon stepped toward Abby. She looked up at Damon and smiled.
"Do you have the guts to do it?" Abby was the amused one.
"Of course I do," Damon responded and wrapped an arm around Abby's waist.
Abby had never had a vampire bite her except for the time when she was changed. Damon pulled back and looked at Abby for a moment before kissing her. Abby pushed Damon away and he grinned.
"You are such a jerk, you know?" Abby was grinning.
"I think that's what you love about me," Damon figured.
"Don't be ridiculous! I'm still staying here, you know," Abby informed Damon.
"That's a shame then, isn't it?" Damon was trying to trick Abby into deciding to come back with him.
"I've made my choice. You're sure as hell not going to change my mind." Abby grinned and then walked back toward the city.
Damon became a crow and flew away. He didn't like the fact that Abby wasn't going to come back. Instead, he'd go away and devise a plan until nightfall. Then, he'd act.
Abby looked through the chest of gowns and found one that she really liked. It was red and strapless. Maggie walked around in the dress and as she walked the halls, she thought about the last thing she said to Damon. Sure, she had some feelings for him deep down inside, but when he was taking her blood she felt how much he cared for her. He wanted her to be safe with the Cullens. The festival in the streets was going on and Abby wanted to see what it was about. She found a red cloak and wandered into the street. Her boots were perfect for this outfit and when Abby rounded a corner, she ran into someone dressed in completely black.
Damon couldn't stand to wait to see her. He wanted to catch her off guard.
"I didn't know you were one for festivals. Why dress for the occasion?" Damon saw Abby's red dress from the way she was walking. The red dress was showing.
"Why are you here? I thought you'd be back in Forks or at least in Virginia by now," Abby figured.
"I decide against it. I'm not leaving without you right next to me," Damon argued.
"You're so damn stupid, Demon." Abby chuckled and ran her fingers though her hair.
She had to decide what to do. If Abby left with Damon she'd probably be swooning over him the whole time. If Abby stayed behind in Volterra, she would fit in comfortably and live a life that was easy and uncomplicated. It was a hard decision and Abby couldn't decide.
