"You don't understand" he shook her. He turned his back on her, ran his fingers through his hair in frustration, wiping the hot tears off his face.

"Why don't I?" she asked simply, absorbed by his presence.

"I love her! I've never loved someone more. She's smart and intutitive. She's funny, so funny. Her laugh makes me smile every time! And she's beautiful. Possible the most beautiful person I've ever met. She may be a schemer and a bitch, but she's got a heart. A huge heart only reserved for those who mean something" he turned to look this poor, innocent girl. "And she loves me. I mean something. For once I mean something. I'm not the other option. I'm the main option, I'm the only option" he spoke in almost a whisper as he realised all of his feelings he locked away.

"I don't understand why it is so complex if you both love each other" this girl said, her eyes wide.

"Because... I'm dangerous"

The girl smiled. "You're not"

"I'm compelling you right now" he sighed. "That's even more dangerous than if I do this-"

His eyes gew demonic and his fangs gleamed in the moonlight. The girl just stared in awe at the handsome stranger. And he didn't fight his instints. He pushed his teeth into her neck, into the main artery, feeling the warmth of her blood rush through his veins.

"No!" Stefan shouted. He rushed to his side. "Damon, no"

Damon looked at his brother. "Why?" he laughed. "I'm just being the monster everyone thinks I am"

"Blair doesn't think you are" Stefan held his brother's shoulder. "Let the girl go"

Damon wiped the blood from around his mouth with his sleeve. He looked in the girls eyes. Within seconds, Damon bit into his own wrist and fed her his blood.

"Damon! No!" Stefan screamed. Damon paid no attention. He just watched the markings he left on this poor girl's neck disappear. He turned on his powers, turned on his charm and looked her directly in the eyes.

"You are not going to remember this, you are not going to remember my face. You are going to run and never look back. You understand?" the girl nodded. "This never happened" the girl just stood there on the spot. "Run"

The two brothers watched this girl run, run fast, run for her life. Her blonde hair glowing from the street lights, her feet moving quick. She never looked back.

"Da-" Stefan began but he was too late. Damon had already disappeared into the darkness.

Blair took off her clothes and put them in her hamper. She dressed quickly in her silk pyjamas and went into her bathroom and stared into the mirror. How did all of this happen? she asked herself. Her eyes grew hot and tears escaped her eyes. Held onto the doorknob for support but it wasn't enough. She slid down the door onto the floor and wrapped herself up in her own misery. She finally stood up, brushed her teeth and washed away her tears. He gathered the strength to go to bed. She didn't want to fall asleep. She knew her dreams would be about him.

She walked out into her room when she saw a shadow sitting on her bed. She turned on the light to see him there. He looked up at her, sadness in his eyes. Blair acted on instint. She went over and hugged him, cradled him in her arms. He simply held her had as he rested into her.

"I'm so sorry" he whispered.

"No, I am" she spoke into his ear.

"I should've told you about the vampires, I should've warned you. If I did none of this would've happened"

"If you did the vampires would've come up with a different plan and I probably wouldn't be here" Damon cringed in her arms. "I should've handled it better. I'm sorry"

They sat in silence, holding each other. The sound of her heartbeat kept him calm, content.

"I love you" he said softly.

"I love you" she said with all her heart.

That night, their past mistakes were forgotton. Their slate was wiped clean. He kissed her softly on the lips as a sign of forgiveness, the sign of the end to their past and the beginning to their future. That night they fell asleep in each others arms. That night they became more connected than ever. That night, they became one.
