Author's Note: Alright, tomorrow I have an exam (the first one sucked) and here I am. Again. What can I do, I just can't stop myself lol=) By the way, people, your reviews were awesome!
I decided to write the review responses in the end of the chapter, so don't worry, I didn't just forget, you'll see it when you finish the chapter;)

AMY'S POV
"I can't believe you talked me into this."
"Too late to give up now Luke." I said, turning up the radio. He huffed
"It's so-"
"Sorry, music is too loud!" I said raising my voice and he turned it off
"Hey!"
"It's a bad idea."
"Luke, do I have to beg you again?" I asked without taking my eyes off of the road "Because it's getting tiring after one point."
He stopped the car to look at me and I sighed
"Alright then, here it goes. Luke if you don't want to find me dead in the street-"
"We're here." He said, opening his door to get out of the car. I looked out of the window, no houses, no people just the nature.
Huh…
I opened my door and jumped out of the car.
"Where are we?"
"Not in Mystic Falls." He said simply and I looked around
"And I don't think we're in Kansas anymore."
He gave me a weird look and I cleared my throat
"Nevermind." I muttered "So…What's our first lesson? Hey, do you want me to call you Mr Reese? Hah, will it be like-" I was cut off when he opened the trunk
"Alright then, maybe I should just call you Mr Winchester…" I murmured, looking at the weapons in the trunk. Countless stakes, some bottles of water, herbs I assumed as vervain, crossbows….
"Where did you get all these?" I asked as he grabbed two crossbows and some stakes
"From my father."
"What did you say to him?"
"That I had a girl to impress?"
I raised an eyebrow and he chuckled "Alright fine, he doesn't know."
I giggled and started walking into the green field. The only things in my sight were rocks and trees. I stopped in the middle of it, turning to Luke.
"So? What will we do now?"
He put the weapons on the ground "I was thinking maybe you should first learn how to punch and stuff."
"Oh, I already know it." I said "Mike and Will taught me. Besides, I don't think punching a vampire would work."
He merely shrugged "You would never know. Come on. Punch me."
"What?" I asked, confused "I-I won't punch you."
"Amy, just try." He said, raising his palms
"Alright…" I murmured and clenched my fists, raising them to protect my face. I took a deep breath, relaxing my body and bending my knees a little. I got the right position, legs shoulder width apart and left feet put forward. With another deep breath, my hand snapped forward into his palm which clenched around my fist
"Very good." He said, his voice was surprised "Who taught you did you say?"
"My brothers." I said "Well, they had taught me when I was little and then, they made me practice it after the Julie accident."
He gave me a sympathetic smile, raising his palms again "Come on. Again."
I threw another punch and pulled my hand back before he could catch it
"I told you, I know these…" I murmured and he nodded
"You do…. Try to do it harder, will you?"
I nodded and tried a little faster this time, with more strength but he shook his head
"Again."
Half an hour later, we were still working on punching and my wrists had started aching for some reason
"When will we use the stakes?" I couldn't help to sound like a whining child and he laughed
"You're bored?"
"A little." I admitted. "When will we take a break?"
"You're a horrible student.." He said jokingly and I poked him. He let out a chuckle and walked to the car
"Where are you going?"
"Fuels." He said when he came back with two cans of Coke. I let out a grunt and crack open the can then took a gulp, leaning my back against a tree.
"Seriously, Luke. Thanks for this." I smiled, looking at him. His brown hair looked a shade lighter when the sunlight fell upon it, and he smiled as well, his eyes shining
"No problem…" he said "So…where do your brothers think you are right now?"
"Oh, umm…in a cafe, with you and the others." I said, feeling a pang of guilt "I really don't like lying to them but…" I took another sip, shrugging. Then I leaned the back of my head against the tree, closing my eyes and enjoying the warm gold rays on my skin.
He cleared his throat "So…What's with you and Salvatore?"
My eyes snapped open "What? What about him-us-hus?"
I could see he was biting inside his cheek and gulped his drink "It's just-I told you, he looks at you weird."
I let out a snort "No he doesn't."
He raised his head to look me in the eye "You think so?"
"Why do you think he looks at me weird?" I insisted "I mean- if it's about the day before-"
"It's not about that." He said "Amy- I can't put my finger on it, but- he just looks like bad news."
I bit my lip, dropping my gaze to my lap. Was there a hunter instinct or something like that?
"Do you-" he paused, his voice was unusually hoarse "You know…do you like him or something?"
I gulped, forcing myself to shake my head "Damon? No I-" I paused "Damon is too…unstable for me, too dark... You never know if he is trying to protect you or-"
Or kill you.
"Or not." I finished my sentence "Besides-" I let out a breath "He just sees me as a child so..."
Why had my voice sounded like whining?
He took another sip, then put down the can and got on his feet. He leaned down to offer me a hand and I grinned as he helped me to my feet.
"Come on. Time to learn how to use a crossbow."
"Yay!"
"You're not sleeping are you?" I snapped out of my daze and opened my eyes. The warmness in the car and the shaking had literally made my eyes close. I sat up straighter, yawning
"Nope."
He chuckled "Right…"
I shook my head slightly, trying to focus "I'm tired, Mr Big Bad Slayer."
"Oh come onn…" he protested "I did go easy on you-"
"4 hours, Luke!"
He just snorted and stopped the car when we reached my home.
"So…" he said "Next Saturday, same time?"
I turned my head "We'll-we'll keep doing that?"
He looked me in the eye, smiling "You didn't think we were finished, right?"
"Well- no but… "
"Because I'm surely not graduating you yet."
I giggled and took off my seat belt "Alright then. Same time." I opened my door and went out, but stopped before I could close the door when he called my name
"Amy!"
"Yeah?" I turned around
"In theoric verse, I'm like your…teacher now, right?"
"More like my Yoda?" I grinned "But you could call yourself a teacher if you want to. Why?"
"Then theorically, you're my student." His voice was serious now and I raised my eyebrows
"Umm…I think so?"
"Great. Is there a chance for me, seeing you in a pleated skirt and knee socks the next time? Because-" I couldn't hear the rest of it as I slammed the door and stuck out my tongue behind the window. He laughed and started the engine, as I walked to the home.
"Hello?" I said, opening the door "Mike? Will? Anyone?"
Silence.
"Hello?"
"Oh, hi Amy!" Monica chirped, walking into the room in a towel.
"Oh." I said, my eyes widening "Umm…Hi."
Awkward..
"So..Dan is home?"
"No, he just left to get some beer." She said, looking at me as if I was the one in a towel. "Umm…Amy?"
"Yeah?"
"You have a leaf in your hair."
My hand went up to take it and I ruffled my hair, to see if there was any left.
"Oh. Thanks." I said quietly and she eyed my clothes.
My dust-covered clothes.
Uh oh..
I raised my head and I swore that I could see the wheels turning behind her eyes
"I shold go and…change." I said quickly "And I'll take a nap, so…See you later." I walked towards the door but before I could take another step-
"Amy, stop."
Oh no…God no please…
"Where were you today?"
"I-" I tried to make up a lie "We were-me and my friends- were umm…hanging out at the cafe, then we decided to go into woods, so…And I-I fell couple times while wandering in the woods, but I'm alright."
She arched an eyebrow "Really?"
Patience…Patience…
"Yeah." I said "And Monica…I'm really tired, so I'll just-I'd better- go to my room." I walked past her and ran to upstairs, my room. I quickly changed, flung myself onto bed, and couple breaths later, I was already asleep.
Oh boy, was my body hurting or what…
My aching muscles were what woke me up, actually.
Those, and my phone ringing. I reached out and grabbed it, then answered
"Hmm?"
"Amy?" Elena asked hesitantly
"One and only."
"Your voice sounds-"
"Dead? Because I feel like it. And not as in 'dead and still walking on the earth, drinking blood and looking amazing' kind…"
She giggled "Well, get up, because you're coming to my place."
"No way in hell." I said "Elena, you have no idea how tired I am."
"I actually don't care." She said in a matter of fact tone "We decided to have a movie night, so, you're coming."
I groaned "What will we watch?"
"Don't know yet." She said and I slowly got up from the bed,
"Dan is probably too busy to take me there, and I'm so not walking in the streets at night-"
"Already taken care of. Damon is on the way."
I froze in the middle of the room
"Amy? Hello?"
"I'm here." I said quietly "Damon is coming?"
"Yeah, I…begged him actually. Anyway he should be there any minute, so.."
Why did I feel like my whole body was on fire?
"Oh." I said, brushing my hair off my face "So I should-"
"Say hi to Elena for me." Someone spoke behind me and I jolted up
"Damon!" I shrieked, dropping the phone "Stop doing that!"
"You'll break your phone someday, you know that right?"
I rolled my eyes and took the phone into my hand again "Sorry about it Elena."
"No problem." She laughed "So, you're coming?"
"Mm hm."
"Okay! See you!" she said cheerfuly and hung up. I sighed and turned to Damon
Damn it, he looked amazing. Again.
Or still. I wasn't sure.
"So. Had fun playing with pointy sticks today?"
I gawked at him for couple seconds, with my mouth open
"How did you-?"
He smirked "Just a hunch."
I let out a breath "A hunch?" I asked "You're just-just-"
"Amy? Who are you talking with?" Mike knocked my door and opened it just as I lunged to my bed and grabbed the phone. My heart had already started beating in my throat and when I turned my head, I saw Damon had already left the room.
Thank God… I had no idea how I would explain Damon, being in my room to my brothers…
I pointed at the phone I was holding over my ear, mouthed 'Elena' to Mike. He nodded
"We'll have dinner, will you-?"
"Elena, I'll-umm-I'll call you later." I said and pretending like pressing the button, put the phone on my bed again
"Actually, I was going to ask you if I could-go to Elena's place." I said a little breathlessly. He arched a brow
"Now?"
"Yeah, they are having a girls night so…" I said slowly "Would you guys mind?"
"No, of course not…" he said "Need a ride?"
"Ummm…no actually-Damon will take me there." I winced as the words passed my lips.
"Damon?" he sounded a little suspicious
"Yeah, he is Stefan's brother." I said quietly "He is going there too, so.."
He eyed me and I looked at him pleadingly. He sighed
"Call us when you get there."
"Sure." I nodded fervently "Of course. Thanks."
He closed the door behind him and I looked around in the room
"Damon?"
No answer.
I let out an annoyed breath and walked to get my clothes from my wardrobe. I changed, stuffed my pyjamas down into my bag, brushed my hair, and heard the doorbell rang.
Lastly, I put my phone into my pocket and bounced down the stairs. Thump thump-
Uh oh.
My heart felt like it had just dropped next to my stomach as I looked at the surrealist view in front of me. Damon was waiting for me in the middle of my living room, his arms crossed.
I thought he would wait outside!
I could swear that Will and Mike could see the neon red letters flashing in my brain writing; DANGER! DANGER!
"Damon." I said breathlessly "You're-here."
Welcome to the 'tonight's news with Amy Walsh'..
He smirked "Couldn't see you for a while, Amy."
A smile I couldn't supress crept it's way to my lips "Yeah, I know.."
Mike's eyes darted between me and Damon and he cleared his throat. I bit my lip
"We should probably go." I said slowly "Good night guys."
"Yeah goodnight." Mike said and Damon moved aside, leaving me enough room to walk to the door
"It was nice seeing you again Will. " He said "And nice to meet you, Mike."
"Yeah, you too." He said and we left the house. He opened the car's door and I climbed to the passenger seat. He chuckled as he started the engine.
"What?" I asked, putting my seatbelt on
"Your brothers.. Their conversation is quite interesting."
I felt the blush warming my cheeks "Oh?"
He nodded and laughed again
"What-what are they talking about?"
"You." He said simply and I sighed, imagining the conversation. My eyes focused outside, trees whizzing past, lights looking like shaking, blury colors…
"So…" he said, turning his head to look at me "Your aim didn't look that bad."
I groaned
"And your punching- not that it would work against a vampire, but-"
"Damon, keep your eyes on the road!"
He rolled his eyes "I've been driving, for a long long time, Amy, what are the odds of having an accident right now?"
"Pretty high, if you keep driving like that!" I muttered under my breath"Cocky, arrogant vampire-"
"I heard that."
"I really need to stop thinking out loud then." I said, crossing my arms, ignoring my blushing "And besides, if we have an accident, I get it, you'll be just fine but I gotta remind you, there's a human in this car and-"
"Do you really think I'll let anything happen to you in any time?" his voice was serious now and I paused
"I-I don't know." I stuttered and tried to keep myself from banging my head against the window "I-I mean-" I tried to sound like a normal human being "When I'm with you-" I paused again, trying to pick the right words
"When you're with me?" he asked calmly and I bit my lip
"When I'm with you I feel like-"
I feel like I have my own guardian angel with me.
"Like, nothing can-hurt me- as long as you don't change your mind about me." I said awkwardly, avoiding his gaze.
He chuckled again, but this time it was insincere
"I'm the most dangerous creature you're ever likely to encounter in your life, Amy." He said, keeping his glances on the road "And you feel safe with me?"
I gulped "I didn't say you weren't dangerous." I said, trying to keep my voice from shaking "But being dangerous-" I took a deep breath "Danger doesn't equal cruelty, Damon. Everyone is dangerous, even the most unsignificant person can hurt other people. You can't just turn your back at the danger, because it's always there. But- it's just about choices. You could've killed me if you wanted to, for countless times. Yet-"
"Do you really think I didn't try?" he frowned, closing his eyes for a second "Just why do you think I met you in the first place?"
I could feel the goosebumps rising on the back of my neck.
"And do you really think I still can't?" his voice was deep now, throaty "Just one simple second. Before you can even blink. You would be gone. Forever."
My heart was pounding violently against my chest and one side of me was screaming for me to run away- but the other side-
"But I don't see you attacking me right now." Even I was surprised at my calm tone "See? Choices."
He didn't say anything, and I knew I was pushing too far, but the words had already passed my lips
"Damon, no offense, but I don't really think you'll harm me."
That right there, was my first mistake. A silly, horrible mistake. A really stupid one.
A person shouldn't tell that sentence to another. Ever.
Because it's just deceiving yourself. Everyone hurts each other some time.
And Damon?
Damon would be the only person who could hurt me most. After that point.
He stopped the car and I saw Elena's house. I unfastened my seatbelt and when I raised my head, his piercing eyes bored into mine
"No." He said slowly "I don't think I will." His eyes searched my face "You're probably the only human being who can hear this from me."
Suddenly, a shiver ran through my body and I just looked up at him, feeling dizzy. Somehow, my hands managed to open the door and I hopelessly tried to focus, dragging my gaze away from him
"See you later Damon." I murmured and got out of the car.
"Oh, and Walsh?"
I spun around "Yes?"
He smirked "That kid, Reese? He may be an idiot, but that idea about a pleated skirt and knee socks was a pretty good one."
I could feel my face burning "Damon!"
He just chuckled and I slammed the door, then walked to the Elena's house with fast steps.
