A/N:Thanks for the reviews! I'm having a lot of fun. But you don't want to hear me talk about that. So let's do this! Also remember I messed with this timeline so it's still summer right now. I rated this story M due to cussing by the way.

DISCLAIMER:I do not own Twilight or The Vampire Diaries they belong to their respective parties. I'm just playing with them!

Chapter 2

Bella pov:

I'm still sitting here staring out my window as usual, but my memories of him are not the memories I'm thinking about. Damon is a vampire, not like him with the hard body and sparkling. Damon's kind of vampire still has the basics, incredibly strong and fast, but can burn in the sun unless they have a spelled ring, can get staked in the heart, can eat and sleep, shape shift on occasion, control the weather, and can compel. Compelling is like a form of mind control, which can easily be prevented with a simple herb called vervain that is harmful to vampires. Lucky me, I can't be compelled, so I've known for a while my mind is impenetrable.

Damon told me he was a vampire when I was 13 years old. I was on my way to meet Damon at the park where he found me 5 years ago for our anniversary dinner when I was attacked by a vampire of the original kind. I was terrified and screamed when he began to feed. Damon heard my scream and came as quickly as he could killing the unknown vampire and giving me his blood to heal me. Damon then sat me down and told me everything. He told me what he was and how that came to be, he told me about his brother Stefan, who he vowed an eternity a misery to, and Kathrine, his lover trapped in a tomb. I was sad for him and the life he had led. I questioned him about his concern towards me, and he told me he wasn't sure, but he felt a connection with me and then said, "If I had a daughter I hope she would be as half as amazing as you, piccola." We grew even closer after that, even though he only came to visit every couple of months.

Damon met my dad when I had finally put my foot down about going to Forks every summer at age 14. Damon flew with me to California to make sure I arrived safely. It was very funny because Damon kept complimenting Charlie on his mustache. Damon stayed with us the first two days and then left telling Charlie he would be back to fly with me and telling me he was going to be around in case I need him but to have fun with my father. And that's how it went for the next two years. Damon and Charlie actually got along really well. Dad liked me having a male figure in my life that I felt comfortable with for my 'teenage troubles' as Charlie put it.

It was a month before my 17th birthday that Damon told me he found out where his brother Stefan was and that he was leaving.

*FLASHBACK*

"Isa, we need to talk," Damon said to me one afternoon. We were at his house having a movie night. I looked up at him from my spot next to him on the couch worriedly.

"Sounds serious. What's up Damon?" I ask.

"A buddy of mine told me Stefan went home to Mystic Falls, and I want to go mess with him." He told me.

"So, you're leaving early?" I whispered.

"No piccola," he said sincerely while pulling me in his arms, "I'm staying the rest of this week like I said, and I will also come visit for the day on your birthday as always. The reason I'm telling you this is, I might not call because I'm going to have some fun with him, and I don't want him to get any ideas about you. If any enemies I might develop were to hurt you I wouldn't be able to live with myself."

"Oh. That makes sense. I'll be okay Damon I promise, but you have to pull a special prank on Stefan just for me though." I tell him with a giggle.

"Now that I can do," he says with a smirk, "Okay enough with the heavy. Go get more popcorn woman!" he orders.

"Since you asked so nicely," I say sarcastically with an eye roll while getting up.

"And make it snappy!" he barks out with a laugh. We had a fun night of movies and popcorn fights.

*END FLASHBACK*

When Damon hears about my adventures this past year, he's going to get all kinds of angry. I spare a glance at the crescent shaped scar on my wrist as I'm tracing it with my finger under my long sleeve shirt, thinking of James a shudder runs down my spine. I need to keep this hidden or it will only make things worse. Now touching it brings back my memories of him. I never mentioned that I already knew about the supernatural because I knew he would not approve a Damon's feeding habits. It's not like he kills the people he feeds on. Snatch, eat, and erase. Simple and it doesn't hurt anyone, so I saw no reason to bring drama where it wasn't necessary. I started to think of him and our good times together in our meadow and got lost in the memories.

I don't know how long it been, but I suddenly noticed voices downstairs, one I immediately recognize as Damon. I can't understand what they are saying, but soon there is the sound of one person coming up the stairs. As soon as the doors open, I hear him take a deep breath and sniff the air. Damon let's out a growl and say, "Isabella Marie Swan you have a lot of explaining to do!" I still haven't moved, and I don't respond either choosing to stay lost in my memories. It's nice here, happy. I know he can probably still smell the faint cold one smell in my room even though it's been two months. Damon walks to me and kneels into my view, I spare him a glance looking into those ice blue eyes that became like a father to me then go back to looking out my window and the memories.

"What have they done to you, piccola?" He whispers cupping my cheek with his warm hand. I don't respond, but I do let a single tear fall down my face for the hurt I've caused Damon and the hurt he and his family caused me. Damon wipes the tear away with his thumb and tells me "I'm going to bring you back Isa I promise. Go take a shower you're coming home with me." My eyes instantly snap to his with fury. I don't want to leave! What if they come back? "I don't want to hear it. You and I know if they want to find you, they can, so cut they crap and get in the shower. I'll pack your bags for you then we are leaving. End of discussion." He snaps and walks to my closet and I don't move. "Go Isabella don't make me say it again," he says from the closet. I sigh and get up grabbing my toiletries and clothes and make my way to the shower. Knowing Damon, he would take me kicking and screaming and still get what he wants, so there's no point in fighting him.

As I let the hot warm run down my body I think on this new development. I wonder if I'm going to meet Stefan. From what Damon told me Stefan is like him and his family an animal drinker. Will there be differences between Damon and Stefan like there are between human and animal drinking cold ones? Something to think about. I get out of the shower, dry off brush my hair and put on a long sleeve purple shirt and dark blue jeans. Making sure my scar is covered I make my way back to my room where Damon is waiting with my suitcase and bag packed on my bed. There is one thing I want to do before we leave.

"Damon can we go somewhere before we leave? I want to see something." I say hoarsely since I haven't used my voice in so long.

Damon looks up surprised that I spoke. "Sure Isa. I'm going to put your stuff in the car, and I want you to go say a proper goodbye to Charlie then we'll go, but we have to hurry our flight is in 2 hours." I simply nod and start putting on my shoes, "I do mean a real goodbye Isa. Use your words and give a hug or no deal." He says with a smirk. I nod again then make my way downstairs to the living room where Charlie is watching ESPN.

"Dad?" I say quietly. Charlie stands up surprised. I guess he didn't think Damon would be able to help me. "Damon is taking me home with him. I wanted to come say bye."

With a smile on his face he says "Damon told me he was taking you with him. I think this will be good for you Bella. Get out of this town and go somewhere with no reminders. You behave for Damon. He's going to enroll you in school there for your senior year. Meet new people and try to be happy. That's all I want for you."

"I'll try dad." I tell him even though I want to stay in my memories. He doesn't need to know that. Damon just wants me to make him feel better about me leaving. I can put on a mask for a few minutes for Charlie. I mean he did let me come stay with him and he has been dealing with me these last few months. I walk up to Charlie and give him a hug, "Thank you for letting me come stay with you."

"This will always be your home Bells. Just give your old man a call every now and then okay?" He says hugging me back and kissing my forehead, a rare display of emotion for him. Charlie looks over my head and gives me one last squeeze then steps away to shake hands with Damon. "You take care of our girl Salvatore." He says gruffly.

"You know I will Charlie. Come on Isa we gotta get going." Damon responds. I nod and grab my jacket.

"Bye dad." I give him one last hug just because then make my way to the car Damon rented and get in. After a few minutes if taking to Charlie, Damon finally gets into the car.

"Where to, Isa?" He asks me.

After giving him some directions, I tell him, "We're going hiking."

He barks out a laugh. "You?! Hiking?! Is the world ending?!" He says sarcastically.

"Well you're hiking and I'm hitching a ride on your back." I tell him still showing no emotion as he pulls up to the end of the road and parks. We both get out of the car and I ask, "Do you smell him?" His head snaps to mine and narrows his eyes at me with anger. I knew I would have to tell him everything now.

"You knew, didn't you?" He growled out. "Isabella Marie Swan! What in the hell were you thinking?! Cold ones?! Of all th-"

"Yes, Damon I knew. How about you answer my question and I'll tell you." I snap at him.

Damon rolls his eyes and takes a deep breath. " It's faint, but I can follow it."

I jump on his back and say, "Let's get moving and I'll tell you everything."

"Leave out no details and don't think I didn't notice this," He growls and pulls on my wrist revealing my scar. So much for hiding it. Damon then takes off at a brisk walk.

So, I start to explain to Damon everything about him and his family. How I met him that first day of school and his anger. How he disappeared that first week and the change in attitude when he came back. The van incident. Meeting his family and how they all accepted me, well everyone except Rosalie. The baseball game with James, Victoria, and Laurent showing up. James decision to hunt me and me running away to Phoenix. How I escaped to the ballet studio, the fight with James and his inevitable death. James biting me and him sucking out the venom. The horrible day I cut my finger in their kitchen making me lunch and Jasper attacking me. Damon stopped me there.

"This Jasper guy, do you know his last name?" he asks.

"No, I know he uses Rosalie's human last name." I tell him honestly. "Why?"

"I think I might know him from my human days. What does he look like?"

"Tall, blonde hair that reaches his chin, toned muscles kind of like a person who has done a lot of hard work. A little bit of a southern accent he hides," I reply.

"Yep, that's Major Whitlock alright. We were war buddies before I left the army. I always wondered what happened to him. I guess now I know." He muses. Then I finish my story with him leaving me in the forest and the things he said to me. Damon just growls then says, "There is a clearing up ahead is that where we're going?" He asks. I look ahead to see the opening in trees and jump off his back and take off running.

As I step through the last of the trees and into our meadow I break down and start crying as the pain shoots through me. It still looks just as beautiful with the wildflowers everywhere and I hear the bubbling stream near by. My memories of this place crash through me making the pain worse, but I don't mind because that means it was real. I'm looking around our meadow when a figure step through on the other side of the clearing. I gasp in surprise not expecting anyone to be here.

"Laurent."

A/N: So she's not fighting Damon on leaving, but she wants to see the meadow. Now Laurent is there. Next we'll go back to Damon and get his opinion on things and the next events. Don't worry we're going to get to Mystic Fall in the next chapter or the one after I'm not sure but definitely soon. As always I will post when I can I don't really have anything else to do. I'm actually starting on the next chapter after I post this. Please review let me know how you feel I love hearing your comments!
