If you've seen my 'Damon the Dog' summary, you'll know that I've put it on hold for the moment. Sorry. Here's the next chapter, enjoy, and review!
I'm officially on 'February Break' (thanks to the kind of school I go to)! Most likely, this week will be update overload, so get ready.
Check out Charlie'sLostVampire; she has amazing stories and they all deserve a chance.
I have two horses and I was riding the other day, so I was really inspired to write this chapter. Star and Heart are my real horses, so yes, they're in my story, just with different names. :)
"There are some clothes in that room over there," Tyler said pointing to a white door that Elena hadn't noticed before. "If you want to get out of that dress.
Elena nodded and thanked him before scurrying off towards the door. Inside, there were clothes piled half way to the ceiling and socks filling three large baskets. She quickly threw on a light blue shirt, pink skinny jeans, and a white cardigan – which she left open. It didn't quite match, but she would wear a clown suit if it meant getting out of that dress. Well, what was left of it anyway.
"Elena?" Someone called from the living room.
Damon?
Damon.
Elena collected her thoughts and ran into the living room after telling Tyler she'll be back. Damon was sitting on the couch with Lexi and Anna to his left; Damon glaring at her while Lexi and Anna had small talk.
"Hmm?" Elena asked, trying to keep her heart beat normal and sweat away.
At her response, Damon glared harder. Her shirt was slightly crumbled at the hip, as if someone had been holding onto it for dear life and her hair was messy as if she just woke up.
"Hey...Ummm..." Tyler said as he entered to room. Damon couldn't help but notice how his neck was a deep scarlet and his lips, just like Elena's, were puffy and slightly red. "Vampires can eat garlic spaghetti, right?"
Jeremy and Anna shared a look and busted into giggle fits.
"Wow Tyler! You're a vampire hunter, but you don't know what we can eat?" Anna managed to get out between giggles.
Tyler pointed the wooden spoon he had in his hand at the laughing girl. "Hey! All I knew is you drink blood and one of you almost killed my mother!"
"If you're a vampire hunter..." Elena asked carefully, not wanting to bring up anything painful.
"Why haven't I killed them?" Tyler finished for her. At her nod, he continued to tell the story. "As I said; a vampire tried to kill my mother and all I knew is that I wanted revenge. I did a little research and met a few people, like Damon. We met when we were in high school and we've been helping each other out since. But anyways, I managed to track Anna and Jer down and when I saw how nice they were, I gave up." He said with a simple shrug.
Elena quickly rose from her seat and tightly embraced Tyler in a bone crushing hug. He hugged back, breathing in her sweet smell and winking proudly at Damon, who rolled his eyes in return.
"Well," Tyler began once Elena released him. "I think my noodles are burning." He stated and swiftly walked away.
Elena frowned, but left it alone, and settled herself back on Damon's lap. "Want to go on a walk?"
Elena turned to the dark haired guy and asked, "Seriously? Sure!"
Damon smiled and scooped her up bridal style and carried her though the back door, leading to the oversized backyard. They walked down a stoned path that lead to the backyard, which consisted of a lake, stables, and everything else was just open space.
The stone path seemed made for midnight walks. Elena could only imagine the bright full moon leading you carefully down the path as though someone was walking behind you with a flashlight. She could only dream about something so mystical and special. She was defiantly coming back at midnight on day.
Trapped in each others thoughts, Damon and Elena walked surrounded in a comfortable silence. Damon suddenly stopped and turned to Elena. "Are you OK?"
Elena slightly nodded and explained, "Just thinking..."
He raised a perfectly arched eyebrow and asked, "About me? Tsk, tsk, tsk Elena..."
Elena dropped his hand and playfully pushed him. She tried her best to keep in the giggles that were begging –no, demanding- to be released, but she couldn't catch the huge smile that slowly slipped onto her lips.
Soon another silence fell upon them again and they began walking towards the lake that wasn't far away. The crystal clear water shone in the blazing sun. A few green lake ducks were happily quacking on the other side and a mother cardinal was pecking and playing in the dirt in search of fat, juicy worms for dinner.
Damon, seeing her smile and wide eyes, said, "I have another surprise for you." He moved behind her and slowly covered her eyes with his hands. He carefully led her in a different direction and warning her of the rocks and bumps that she could trip on.
"Meet Mezzanotte and Aldo." Damon said happily as he dropped his hands to her shoulders and grinned like a fool.
