AMY'S POV

In a flash, his hand covered my mouth and he pinned me to the tree. I tried to push him away but he didn't move an inch.

"Listen-"

I tried to kick him but it didn't affect him either, and I let out a whimper, muffled by his hand

"Look at me-Amy!" he said sternly "Look at me." Because of the old habit of obeying whenever someone reprimanded me, I looked up at him. His piercing eyes met mine and I could see my reflection from his blue eyes, terrified..

"I will remove my hand, don't scream."

I punched his chest but, with a sigh, he grasped my wrists with his other hand and held them over my head

"You can keep struggling until you get tired, or you can listen to me. Now, I will not hurt you, and you will not scream. Are we clear?"

My whole body was shaking with sobs and I could feel the tears running down to my cheeks. The firm look in his eyes softened a bit as he eyed me

"Shh, calm down…now take a deep breath." He slowly removed his hand "Just like that."

I took a shaking breath. My throat felt scratchy and a bitter taste burned my mouth. My knees felt really weak but I forced my body to stand

"D-Damon…" my voice came out as a whisper "You're one of-them?"

He looked down at me

"You've already chose your side?"

"What side?" I exclaimed, trying to ignore the ringing in my ears. My head was spinning and I stumbled as I took a step

"Come here, you're gonna get yourself killed." He murmured but I jolted up when he reached out

"Don't touch me!"

"You're losing blood, Amy." He said calmly, his gaze fixed on my neck. I touched there and pulled my hand back with a hiss.

He took a step towards me, the light of the moon revealing his features, the wild, hungry flare in his eyes.

The blood.

Oh God…

I could now see the predator in him, watching his prey. My body was alarmed, before I could even think sensible about what to do, I had already turned around and started running as fast as I could. I didn't know which way I was going. I just knew that I had to get away. This feeling was beyond everything I had ever felt, so strong, and so clear. The instinct which was in every living creature, no matter what.

The desire to survive.

I turned my head to see my back but in the meantime, I ran into something. I let out a scream and took a step back when I saw him. He grabbed me by my shoulders and slammed my back against a tree again, nearly breaking it in the progress

"Damon-don't!"

He brushed my hair off my neck, revealing the wound.

Oh God..This wasn't happening…This couldn't be happening…

"He didn't damage your vein.." he muttered and I wriggled against his grip

"Amy, stand still for one second!"

"No, don't touch me!" I sobbed "You-you can't be a-you-you can't…"

"Look, if I wanted you dead, you'd be dead, trust me." he said aggresively "I can heal it-"

"I don't want it-stay away from me!" I said through sobs "Damon, please- please, just let me go!"

He gave me a sharp glare and let me run away. I tripped over multiple rocks, and trees scraped my arms, but nothing could stop me.

Or nothing did stop me, for that matter…

Although they seemed endlessly, I managed to run through the trees and stopped at the edge, looking at the big building standing in front of me. I could still hear the loud music and people drinking, shouting at each other and laughing.

I walked towards the building as if I was in a dream and someone stopped me

"Hey, you're here…" I recognised Luke's voice "Who spilled blood on you?"

"Me."I said faintly "Luke…can you take me to hospital?"

His expression turned into a shocked one and his eyes focused on my neck "Amy-who-what-"

From the corner of my eye, I could see Stefan's head turned to us and he froze. His eyes lowered for a second, stopping on my neck then flicked back up to my face, his expression darkening. I gulped and tripped into Luke, God, why was my head spinning this much?

"Alright, come here…" he reached down, swept me off my feet and carried me to his car. He started the engine and I leaned my head to the window.

I refuse to faint. I will not faint. Luke will think something's wrong with me if I faint again…

I could feel my stomach flipping and I tried not to throw up.

Damon was a vampire.

As in a night creature one.

As in someone who drank blood.

I'm not sure that 'not fainting' theory will work right now…

"Amy-don't sleep-hey!" he shook me roughly

"I'm not.." I said slowly and he stepped on the accelerator

"Luke, I really don't want to lose any more blood but I definitely will if we have an accident.."

"Who did this?" he growled and I sighed

"I won't die, will I? I have so many things planned to do before I die and I'm really looking forward to do them. Oh, and by the way, if I die, I want you to burn my notebooks. Well, you'll probably don't listen to me anyway. Did you know that Kafka also asked his friend to burn all his unpublished works after his death? And he didn't listen to him either. Eh, at least we now know-"

"Who did this?"

"Someone." I said faintly "I don't know. It attacked from behind. In the woods."

"In the woods- what's with you and being alone in the woods?"

I didn't say anything and he pulled over, parking in the hospital parking lot and I opened my door

"Can you walk?"

"Yeah…" I said and we entered the hospital

Funny thing was that the doctors had said the same thing with Damon, apparently, and fortunately, my vein wasn't damaged.

They cleaned the wound with some burning- really really burning and hurting- stuff and now Luke was filling some papers, which meant that I could go home.

How could I miss this? How could I not see this? Now all the pieces about him clicked into their places, the big picture who had been in front of me from the beginning…

"You ready?"

I nodded slowly and took my purse, and we walked to the car. He cleared his throat

"How did it… pull back? Why didn't just-"

"I don't know." I said as we took off

"You sure you saw no one?"

For some reason, I couldn't say his name, instead, I just shook my head

"Amy…" he started but he stopped himself

"What?"

"Nothing."

I turned my head "What, Luke?"

He kept his gaze on the road "You sure you're alright?"

"Yes."

He didn't talk for the rest of the road and he stopped the car when we reached my home

"Call me tomorrow."

I nodded and got out of the car, but turned back

"Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you. For everything."

He nodded, avoiding my gaze for some reason. I gulped and closed the car's door, then walked to home. I hid the wound with my hair and once I was sure it was done, I opened the door.

Mike was sleeping on the couch and I walked to upstairs on my tiptoes. I closed my door behind me and sat to the edge of the bed.

"You're a child, compared to me, Amy."

"You don't look that much older than me."

"Appearence can be deceitful"

How old was he?

"You look nervous."

"M-me? No, I'm not, I- why do you think I'm nervous?"

"Your hearbeat is fast"

I had been alone with him, for thousand times, for heaven's sake! Now even the thought of it raised goosebumps on my arms…

He had his name on that invitation list, from the first founders party.

His and Stefan's…

What had that man said? "We got Salvatore's pet…"

And Stefan's words ; He can be a little.. dangerous for people around him, so be careful. He hurts everyone comes closer, uses them, it's all for his fun…

Oh God… All those animal attacks… Those people got killed…

Was he a killer?

Suddenly something crossed my mind. Apparently Dan knew about the vampires, I had got that from the stakes..

And Damon knew about my brothers..

He had actually told me countless times.

"Your family never told you what's there in the dark?"

He was trying to make me see it. Make me realise it- for-

For what?

For his amusement?

I took a deep breath, feeling my heart pounding violently against my ribs.

It was going to be alright. I didn't know how, but it was going to.

It had to.

DAMON'S POV

"You just couldn't stop yourself, could you?" Stefan stormed into the living room, with Elena behind him.

"You'll have to be clearer than that…" I said and he pinched the bridge of his nose

"You attacked her?"

"Again with the clearer part, Stefan."

Elena ran a hand through her hair "Damon, did you attack Amy?"

"Nope." I said, downing my drink "Good costume by the way."

"Damon!"

"What?" I said "No I didn't attack her. In fact, I happened to save her."

They exchanged glares and I sat to the couch in front of the fireplace.

"You saved her?" Elena asked, confused "Since when you save people?"

"It shines through occasionally."

"Damon you do realise you're usually the reason why people need to be saved, right?" Stefan asked and I raised my eyebrows. Fair enough.

"You saved her from whom?" Elena asked "I saw her neck, Damon, she was bitten…"

"Not by me." I said darkly "Some guy. I don't know him."

"But now she knows that-"

"Yeah. She saw my face, freaked out, started screaming and all those cliche horror movie stuff, so I let her go."

Elena looked at Stefan, then to me

"And you're not even worried? Won't she tell anyone?"

"Did you, when you found out?" I asked her and she paused

"Why did he attack her then?" Stefan asked

"Probably a message to her brothers…" I said "He didn't damage her vein. He didn't want to kill her."

"Is he alive right now then?" Elena asked and I tilted my head to the right

"Technically no. But…" I gritted my teeth "He ran away. He had vervain, I couldn't-"

Elena was biting her fingernails now

"He said 'they've learned where she is now'" I murmured, looking at Stefan. He had crossed his arms with a grim expression on his face

"They? Who are they?"

I sighed "And this, is the question of the year."
