Waking Up Underneath the Willow Tree
Chapter 3
The next time Elena woke up it wasn't Damon who she woke up to. It was a blonde girl who looked so perfect that she belonged on a cover of vanity fair. Elena sat up and the girl looked at her with intense blue eyes.
"Who are you?" Elena asked searching the girls face for any real danger.
"My name is Caroline. I'm another vampire who Damon has helped or is helping. I just barely transitioned three weeks ago."
"Will he help me?"
"He wouldn't have brought you here if he didn't intend to help you."
"Will he help me figure out what happened to me?"
"In time, but for right now he has to work with you on being normal or at least prettending to be human."
"But i'm not human anymore."
"Listen. You can't find out what happened to you if you're a danger to humans. He's going to help you get to that point."
"I can handle it. Just let me out of here."
"Really did you handle it when you killed that guy?"
"That's not fair. I'm better now."
"Really. Your throat isn't burning, your head isn't in agonizing pain, you can sleep without nightmares, and you don't want to sink your fangs into every neck you see?"
Elena bit her lip. Of course Caroline had to be right.
"Fine. You're right. When will Damon be here?"
Before Elena could answer the door opened and Damon appeared holding a new glass of what Elena assumed was blood. Her stomach rumbled as her eyes fixated on the blood sloshing in the glass. She wanted it so much that she had to restrain herself from breaking her restraints. She took a deep breath as Damon assessed Caroline. If Elena had to guess she would assume that Caroline wasn't suppose to be here at all.
"Shouldn't you be somewhere else?"
Caroline smirked. "I guess I should be in your bedroom. I'll see you later Elena."
Damon rolled his eyes as Caroline left. Looks like that relationship was more on the one-sided. Elena pulled on her restraints frustrated. She needed that blood. Damon cleared the space between them and pulled on her restraints snapping them. She was free. What the hell was he doing?
She sat up as her eyes did that weird thing they did when she lusted for blood. Ugh. She hated when they did that. He stepped closer to her and she snatched the cup of blood guzzling it down. But it wasn't enough. It was never enough.
"I need more."
"No."
"Why not?" she asked.
"Because I don;t need another ripper running around."
"I just need one more. Come on. You can spare one more can't you?"
"I said no."
Elena narrowed her eyes and threw him against the wall."
"I'm not asking anymore."
Damon sighed and threw her to the wall restraining her. Of course she wouldn't win against a more experienced vampire.
"Never do that again. I will rip you apart limb from limb and feed you to my dogs. Now come on we have work to do."
He released her.
"Where are we going?"
"I guess you'll just have to wait and see."
