I was already out of Mystic Falls by the time my phone started ringing. I got so frustrated that I destroyed it.

I was looking for someone tasty, and then I saw him. Lean, tan, with a sugary sweet smile. I bet he made girls all over swoon. And I bet he's broken his fair share of hearts. Let's see.

"Hey there, handsome." I smirked. I've never been bold or straight forward. This no humanity shit is awesome! "Hey, honey. What's a pretty thing like you doing out here alone?" He asked. I smiled, sweetly. He had a THICK southern accent. "Tell me the worst you've ever done." I compelled him. "I raped my sister's best friend when she was thirteen. I'd do it again if I had the chance." He said, dazed. I smiled, triumphantly.

I shouldn't care what he's done, but the rape hits a nerve. I tear into his throat making sure he feels pain. It's the greatest sensation I've ever experienced. Warm, human blood travelling down my throat. I've never tasted anything so sweet. "Delicious." I murmured.

An older woman, probably in her thirties came strolling out of a gas station a little ways down. I dumped the man's body. "Ma'am? I've been in a car accident about a mile from here. My friend is dead! I need help!" I yelled, turning on the fake tears. It helped that I was covered in the man's blood.

"I'll call for help." She said, pulling out a phone. I looked around. Nobody was looking. "Don't scream." I compelled her. I tore into her throat just like the last one. Except less harsh.

She probably had children, but it just didn't seem to matter. I stopped for just a moment when the guilt got ahold of me, but then it just went away.

I traveled a few more miles and saw a young teenage girl bullying a younger girl. I'll just pretend I'm doing the greater good a favor. The woman before was just a mishap. For all I know, though, she could have been a psycho. The little girl ran away crying, and the teenager smiled triumphantly. I drained her before she even knew what was happening. This was fun.

At least, I wasn't ripping my victims apart like Stefan. Stefan will be so disappointed. I almost feel bad. Almost.

Damon's POV

I want to rip Katherine to shreds. But right now I have to find Ella. Oh, Ella, I can't believe she turned her humanity off for me.

I called Stefan. I explained to him what happened, and he was pissseeeddd. "Find her." He snapped and hung up the phone. I'm not the one who went off the rails and had to run away with my perfect girlfriend. I rolled my eyes. This was about Ella.

I smelled blood. I looked over and saw an ambulance. "What happened here?" I asked, nonchalantly. "Three animal attacks within the next ten miles. The victims are all dead. Weirdest thing. One happened right in front of a gas station." I closed my eyes. No, Ella.

I tried hard not to be disappointed, but I couldn't help it. Plus, this was all my fault. When she gets her humanity back, and she will, she'll feel awful. And it'll all be because of me.

I traveled in the direction of the animal attacks, but I couldn't find Ella anywhere. "Three victims, and it's only been twenty minutes, Stefan." I told him when I called him. I heard him sigh sadly. I knew this was breaking his heart just as badly as it was breaking mine.

"Damn it, Damon, you've got to find her!" He growled. I didn't even yell back. "I know." I said. I hung up.

He would be here in a couple of hours. I called Caroline, Bonnie, and Alaric and they all promised to keep an eye out.

I went back to the boarding house. I saw her standing there, looking up at the hole where her window was. I didn't care that she was covered in blood, it was such a relief to see her.

"Hey, kiddo." I said, quietly. She whipped around. "What?" She asked. "Three victims, huh? That's a lot…" I told her, gently. "Don't talk to me about killing, Damon. You're famous for it." She said, going into the house.

I took a deep breath and followed her in. I sent a quick message to everyone telling them I had her. This was going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to go through.

Ella's POV

Damon thought he could lecture me about killing? How dare he. He has no right to lecture ANYONE about anything. I clenched my teeth, and went up to my room.

"Ella, wait, we need to talk about this." He said, coming up behind me. "No! I'm leaving, so you don't have to lecture me anymore!" I yelled, pushing him as hard as I could. His heartbroken expression looking up at me, made my heart clench. But it passed, shortly. I really HAD to get away from this place, or I would have my humanity back in like five minutes. I didn't want it back. I was really enjoying this new freedom I had.

"You can't leave." He said, quietly. I rolled my eyes, and started packing. "Watch me." I called out. He growled. "NO!" He yelled, grabbing me. I've never been anywhere near Damon in physical strength, but I've never had warm human blood in my system, either. I fought him off, but he was prepared. He injected me with a vervain syringe. "I HATE YOU!" I called out, before everything went black. The last thing I remembered was thinking I actually don't hate you, I don't feel anything towards you. I don't feel anything at all.


I woke up in the damn cell. "Damon!" I yelled, as loud as I could. He was down there quickly. "Damon, let me out. Now." I demanded. "No, Ella. You have to get your humanity back. And until Stefan gets here, and we figure out what the hell to do with you, you're staying in here." He said, turning away with a pained expression.

I screamed as loud as I could. He just chuckled once. "You know as well as I do, it's impossible for human ears to hear that." He said, walking up the stairs. I looked around the cell. Katherine had gotten out. How did she do it? I looked everywhere. There was a piece of small yellow paper lying in the corner of the room. I picked it up. It was written in Katherine's blood.

E,

LOCK PICK ABOVE DOOR.

`K.

I rolled my eyes, though I was very happy she told me. I found the pick, and even though the vervain stung, I toughed it out.

I sneakily walked up the stairs, and I heard Damon on the phone. "She's in the cell. Stefan, we've got to fix her." He was saying, when I snuck up behind him. I broke his neck. "Damon? Damon?!" I heard Stefan yell on the phone. "Sorry, Stefan, Damon's a little out of it right now. Bye." I hung up.

I ran upstairs and grabbed a bag, but as I was doing so, three people attacked me. Caroline, Stefan, and Bonnie. What the hell is Stefan doing here? I went to rip Bonnie's throat out, but she gave me a damn aneurism. Caroline snapped my neck, and I woke up in a different cell.

It was the one across from the one with the lock pick. Damn it. They were all staring at me. This was going to be a lot harder than I thought.

"You are all so overdramatic." I said, with a dramatic eye roll.

"You broke your brother's neck, and I'm positive that you were going to drain me." Bonnie, said. "This is ridiculous. And I'm hungry." I said, whining.

All of a sudden, there was a familiar, male voice that said "Maybe we shouldn't keep her locked up like a prisoner." I laughed. It was Parker.

"Look, kid, the only reason you're here is because you just showed up. Don't tell me how to take care of my sister. Got it?" Damon said, rudely. "I think he's right." I said, shrugging. "Maybe you should let me talk to her." Parker said. I could see him stepping up to Damon. Oh boy. I sighed, deeply. "You wanna back off, punk? I'll stake you, and I won't even blink." He said, taking a step towards him. I smiled. This was funny. "Damon, chill out." Stefan said, putting his hand on Damon's shoulder. Damon glared at him, and walked up the stairs.

"I'll go talk to him." Caroline piped in. Everyone's head snapped to her. Except mine. Now that my humanity was off I could see things more clearly without my brain getting clouded by opinions and judgment.

Caroline has always been in love with Damon. Caroline walked up the stairs, and I asked for blood. "No." Stefan said, calmly. Then he guided everyone up the stairs. "STEFAN!" I yelled, as loud as I could.

I decided I better keep my energy. Especially, if they were going to starve me.
