Star Twins

by FallenAnqel13

Leslie and her twin sister Elena are Star Children. They aren't human, or are they? What will happen when Leslie catches Damon's interest? Has Damon finally found his match? And if he has, what if she can't love him back? What if she believes that love makes you weak? Not your typical Damon/OC story. She has a secret, a BIG one. What is it? Read & find out!

26. The Date

Okay, I know that some of you really want the Salvatore brothers to know Leslie and Elena's secret. So, since I believe it's getting close to that time. I am going to let one of the Salvatores begin to question some things. HE will begin to notice certain things and might even get a glimpse of something he will consider to be slightly strange. The real question is... which Salvatore will it be? Take your best guess! ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own The Vampire Diaries, but I do own Leslie. So yay, for me!

Chapter 26

(Leslie's POV)

Stefan and Elena instantly began talking about how to help Vickie and how keep Jeremy safe. I only listened to about twenty seconds of their conversation before I got bored. So, I decided I would leave and go get ready for that Halloween thing, whatever. I didn't even say bye. I merely turned on my heels and walked out. When I reached my car, I instantly heard a sarcastic voice say.

"Leaving so soon, kitten?"

I merely sighed then turned to my right and saw Damon leaning casually against the back of my car. Where did he come from? He hadn't been there a minute ago. I smiled lightly and said.

"Hey, Damon. What up?"

He smirked at me and replied.

"The sky, why?"

I simply rolled my eyes and said.

"Smart ass. What do you want?"

He instantly dashed quickly infront of me and said.

"I wanted to know what you were doing tonight."

I blinked, then started laughing at him and said.

"Why, you wanna go out on a date?"

He instantly smiled and said.

"I would love to. What time should I pick you up?"

I merely laughed at him again and said.

"Actually, I already have a date."

I saw his smile instantly vanish and turn into a scowl. Dang, I certainly wasn't expecting that. I merely smiled and said casually.

"You remember, James? Yeah, well... Elena convinced me to give him a chance. He called in the morning, right after you left, and asked me if I would go to that Halloween party with him. I was going to tell him to fuck off, but Elena took the phone and told him, "sure" then hung up."

I simply rolled my eyes and continued saying.

"She said that I should at least give the poor guy a chance. Since, it was so obvious that he really liked me. She then began with her please for me strategy and I told her no. She just kept bugging me and bugging me. Until I couldn't take it, and I told her to shut her face. Then she started crying and began saying a bunch of dumb things. So... I gave in. Life's great, isn't it?"

Damon merely glared at me and said.

"You're not going anywhere with him."

I simply raised my eyebrows and said.

"Well... dad, let me tell you something. You aren't my damn boss. So, get the hell out of my face."

With that, I shoved him away from me and moved to open my car door. He instantly shut it forcefully and stared at me murderously. I furrowed my eyebrows and said.

"What the hell? Get the hell out of my way. I have to go get ready."

He instantly grabbed me by my arms and pinned me hard against the car. I merely glared at him and said.

"Fuck off, Damon. Let me go."

His hands on me instantly tightened and held me securely. He then pressed his body closer to mine and said menacingly

"No... You are my friend. Therefore, I am taking you."

I merely smirked and said.

"Ha, you wish. No, I'm going with James and you need to get over yourself. I'm just your friend. I'm NOT your girlfriend. So, get out of my face. Besides, James knew it wasn't me that answered him. So, he called me back to ask again and I said, "why, not?" You know me, and you know I stay true to my word."

With that, he instantly released me and backed away. He glared at me murderously and said.

"I was with you this morning. Why the hell didn't you tell me anything? I would have taken you."

I merely rolled my eyes and replied.

"Because I barely found out about the party today, smart one. Besides even if I did know before hand, why the hell would I go with you? You'd probably just go to rip someone's throat out. You're such an impulsive moron. "

He simply continued glaring at me and replied menacingly.

"Keep it up and your new boyfriend will be my target for tonight."

I glared at him and replied.

"A, he's not my boyfriend. B, you hurt him, and I will never speak to you again. C, why the hell does it matter to you? I don't get involved in your... relationships. So, mind your own damn business."

He glared right back at me and nearly yelled.

"It matters because you're sick. If that idiot does something wrong, you might get hurt! That's why it fucking matters!"

I instantly blinked and stared at him slightly confused. Damon was worried about me? He was worried James might hurt me? Why? What on earth was going on with him? Maybe he was still messed up from being without blood for so long. Or maybe, just maybe, he actually appreciated everything I did for him and he was just trying to be nice. It was either one of those, or he was simply trying to annoy the hell out of me.

I saw Damon lean against the hood and pass his hand roughly through his hair. I hated to admit it, but he looked really hot when he did that. I saw him take a calm breath and say.

"Where is the party going to be?"

I was still pondering on Damon's reasoning that I didn't even notice when I instantly answered.

"At school."

I saw him turn to look at me and say.

"It's a halloween party, you say?"

I simply nodded and stared up at the house. He continued staring at me and said casually.

"So, I'm guessing you're going to have to wear a costume?"

I rolled my eyes and replied.

"Naw duh, smart one."

I saw him smile, only slightly, and say.

"Oh, really? So, what are you going as? Oh, I know! You should wear a black kitten costume that says on the front, Damon's little kitten."

Then he placed his finger to his temple and said.

"Or... you could go with something much more erotic. Like a naughty little school girl. Maybe a seductive belly dancer, or how about an erotic vampire princess? Hm, I would like that. Although, I think the first one's better."

I merely stared at him with my mouth agape and said sarcastically.

"What the hell have you been drinking? Did you kill Thumper and his blood affected your brain more than it already is?"

He raised his eyebrows at me and said.

"You know I don't feed from rodents. I prefer my natural food source. What the hell do I look like? Stefan?"

I instantly shook my head and said tauntingly.

"Nope, Stefan's much cuter than you."

He instantly bared his teeth at me and I simply smiled at him. He then folded his arms across his chest and said.

"You didn't answer my question."

I merely smiled and said.

"We're back to me having a sucky memory, right?"

He narrowed his eyes and said.

"I'm already pissed off as it is. Don't push it, Leslie."

I instantly smiled and said sarcastically.

"Aw, is little mean me making you angry, Dami? I'm sorry, I promise to behave."

He clenched his teeth together and replied.

"You're pushing it."

"Does it look like I'm touching anything? What? Not only are you deaf, but blind to? Sheesh Damon. Vampirism really didn't help you at all, did it?"

He turned to glare at me and said angrily.

"Okay, you pushed it."

With that, he instantly dashed in front of me and pinned me against the hood of the car. I merely raised my eyebrows and said.

"You know, this whole slamming me into things is really getting old. You should be more creative."

He instantly growled at me and I saw his face change. His eyes turned completely black then red and black veins appeared around them. He opened his mouth and I could instantly see his fangs extend. This might've sounded wierd, but Damon looked really hot when he went all vamp. He leaned down towards me and brushed his fangs along my throat. I merely sighed and said.

"I'm going to the party as what I am."

He didn't stop, which I found quite odd. Instead, he pressed his fangs deeper into my skin. I knew that if I moved even a small millimeter his fangs would puncture my skin. I stayed completely still and didn't speak. What the hell was wrong with him? Why was he lingering for such a long time? He moved from the left side of my throat and trailed small kisses all the way to the right side. He grabbed both of my hands in his and held them at my sides, pinning me securely down.

Suddenly, it struck me why he wasn't moving. He was thristy! Holy crud! I took a calm breath and tried pushing him gently off of me, but he wouldn't move. He simply continued kissing my throat softly and gently, without moving. Therefore, I decided that maybe talking to him would work. I sighed and said calmly.

"Damon."

No response.

"Damon, listen to me. Stop."

I might as well have been talking to the car, with the progress I was making. I shook his shoulder and tried again.

"Damon, if you don't stop, you're going to slip and kill me. Is that what you want? Do you want to kill me?"

At that, he froze and slowly lifted his head to look at me. His face hadn't changed. It was still completely dark and menacing. He tilted his head to the side and replied casually.

"No, I like you."

I smiled and said.

"Okay, cool. I like you to, but you have to chill and let me go. Okay?"

He stared at me for what seemed like an eternity and then nodded his head in agreement. He closed his eyes and moved slowly away from me. As he lifted himself up, he pulled me along with him. He then wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closely to him. He sighed and said.

"Why do you smell like that?"

I frowned and said.

"Like, what?"

He sighed and replied.

"Your scent is like nothing I've ever smelt. I've traveled all over the world and I have never smelt anything as good as you. Why is that?"

Because I'm not completely from this world. I'm not completely human, only half. That's why I smell like that. My scent is much more different than a normal human's. That was what I would have liked to tell him, but I knew I couldn't. So, I merely shrugged and replied.

"Maybe it's the new shampoo I'm using. Elena got it for me, so I'm not sure what it has. I just use it."

He instantly shook his head and said.

"No, it's not just your normal scent. It's... your blood to. It smells differently."

"In a good way or bad way?"

He smirked and replied honestly

"Both."

I stared at him and said.

"How so?"

"Your blood smells delicious, but for a thirsty vampire or a vampire close to death. It would smell too delicious. They would attack without a second thought. Even an experienced vampire, like myself, would find it hard to resist you."

I stared at him completely baffled and said.

"You were going to bite me?"

He stared out into the trees and said.

"I was trying really hard not to."

"Oh."

What could I say to that? I was completely taken aback. I couldn't really think of anything to reply. Instead, I moved away from his embrace and leaned against the door, not saying anything. He let me go then turned to smile at me and said.

"So, what did you mean that you were going to the party as what you are?"

Bipolar, much? I merely smiled then shrugged and said.

"Guess, you'll just have to wait and see."

With that, I turned from him and opened the door of my car. He instantly moved and held the door securely not letting me go inside. I sighed and said.

"You really want to know?"

"Obviously."

I looked up at him and realized he wasn't kidding. He was really curious about my costume. I simply sighed then shut the door and moved to lean against the rear of the car. I folded my arms across my chest and said.

"I guess I should tell you the reason I chose that costume, first."

He nodded and said.

"That would be good. I'm really interested in knowing how you think."

I merely smirked and said.

"Then you should have gone to college to actually study and not just to get laid. Then maybe you'd be my therapist, you know."

He merely smirked and winked. I only rolled my eyes and said.

"I guess I should begin by telling you that I was practically raised by my grandmother ever since I was a baby. She took care of me and raised me to be a nice, polite, and respectful little girl. I never talked back. I did as I was told and didn't complain. I followed all the rules and behaved properly. In other words, I was Elena, only miniature size."

I smiled lightly then stared out into the trees and continued by saying.

"Although... all of that changed two weeks before my tenth birthday. The day my dad took me away from my mother, my grandmother, and everything I cared about."

I then glared and continued bitterly.

"He took everything away from me. My life, my family, my friends. Everything I loved and cared for."

I balled my hands into tight fists and glared towards the woods. I gritted my teeth together and said.

"From that very day, I became the way I am now. I became angry and bitter. I vowed that I would make his life a living hell until he took me back. He never did. I was so bad that I'm surprised he never hit me. I would talk back, break his things, and yell until my throat was dry. Although, nothing I did made him take me back. So, my anger towards him only seemed to increase."

I turned to stare at him and I noticed that he seemed to have a compassionate look on his face. Almost as if he knew exactly how I was feeling. He looked like he felt sorry for me. I merely smiled and said.

"Don't feel bad for me, Damon. There's always a bright side to things. At first I thought he took everything away, but in reality he left me the best thing I could have."

He looked at me expectently, but I simply smiled and looked towards the house. He stared at me curiously and said.

"What was it?"

I smiled lightly and replied.

"My other half... my twin. Elena was always there for me when I felt like killing someone and I was always there for her when she was depressed. Together we endured everything and together we survived."

I sighed and said.

"So, to sum it all up. In the beginning, I was good. Then I slipped, in order to get something that I wanted and fell. I went from good to bad, and that's how I am the way I am. Now, do you have an idea of what I'm going as?"

He simply continued staring at me as if he were seeing me for the first time. He was staring at me as if he had finally found something that he had been searching for a long time. Then he frowned slightly and said.

"No, not really. What are you going as?"

I then moved away from the back of the car and opened the door. I quickly slipped inside and noticed how he didn't stop me. I turned the engine on and lowered the window. He was still standing there simply staring at me, not moving. I smiled at him and said casually.

"I'm going as a fallen angel. If you think about it, it really is me."

LATER THAT NIGHT

"You've got to call me Vick. I don't get it. What's going on with you? Just call me, please."

I could instantly hear Jeremy saying this, as I walked in the house. I merely smiled and walked into the kitchen where he was leaning against the counter. Not even a minute later, I heard Elena come up the drive and walk inside. She had a look of completely worry and sadness on her face. I simply smiled at her and she smiled back slightly. When she saw Jeremy's stressed look, she instantly stared at me and said mentally.

Hey, what's wrong with him? Did you make him mad?

I merely rolled my eyes and said.

Ha, I wish. No, he's just worried about Vickie. He barely finished leaving her a message to call him back. Oh, and don't start with your stupid lectures. That will only piss him off even more.

She nodded her head in agreement and then said to him.

"Hey, Jere. I was wondering if maybe you wanted to hang out tonight. There's a Halloween party at school. You should go, that way you can get familiar with things and meet some people. I'm sure it'll be fun."

He merely looked up and replied dryly.

"Cool, sure, sounds fun. Can't wait."

Didn't he know how to speak in complete sentences? Then again... I didn't always speak in complete sentences either. I merely shrugged then I heard Elena say sternly.

"Listen, I know you're upset about Vickie. I know she called Matt, but you can't be with her. She needs to get better. The best thing you can do for her is let her go."

He instantly looked at her in confusion and replied.

"What does that even mean? Let her go?"

Then he narrowed his eyes at us and said sarcastically.

"Oh yeah, because you two are such experts at letting go, right?"

Elena merely sighed and said.

"I know you may not see it, but trust me Jere. It's for the best."

That's when I stepped in and said angrily.

"No. Hold up, Elena. What do you mean, we're such experts at letting go, Jeremy? What are you talking about?"

He merely raised his eyebrows and said.

"Do I really have to say it?"

He pointed his finger at me and said.

"I'm glad you didn't say anything, since you're the worst of all of us."

I instantly glared at him and said.

"What the hell are you talking about? Also, don't be using that tone of voice with me."

He merely laughed and said.

"Right, my bad. You are the worst because you've never forgiven my uncle for leaving. He has always tried to make up for leaving you and you still treat him like crap. You can't and won't let go of the past. You're the type of person that never lets go and always holds a grudge. He has tried really hard and you simply throw everything in his face. You think, I'm bad? You think, I have a problem? Look in the mirror first then come and talk to me."

I was so shocked at his accusation that I couldn't even think of something to say. He was right, and I knew it. Although, Jeremy didn't know everything. He didn't know all the pain and suffering Elena and I had endured while living with our dad. How could he judge me and accuse me of something when he didn't even know the whole story? I instantly became angry and slightly pissed at his accusation. I glared at him and said.

"Shut your mouth, Jeremy. You don't know anything. So, shut your damn mouth."

I instantly heard Elena say.

"Leslie..."

He instantly turned to look at her and said.

"You to, Elena. Don't think you're innocent in all of this. You're just the same as her. The only difference is that you cope by being super nice and sweet to everyone. I know it won't be long before you snap and everything comes out. At least Leslie's real and shows her anger and resentment. You, on the other hand, are fake. I can see right through you. You're so easy to read. By being so nice, you instantly let people know that something's wrong with you. Just do something about it and move on!"

He merely glared at us then stalked right out of the kitchen. Dang, I really didn't know what to say to that. As I watched him go, I came to realize something. He was right.

That was how we coped. I was a total bitch, while Elena was super nice. Elena had even admitted to me that she didn't want people to feel even the slightest of what we went through. She wanted for others to be happy and content while they were around her. Since, we had never been truly happy. When we were young we didn't have our dad. Then as teenagers we didn't have our mom. Elena wanted others to feel like she cared and that she would be there for them. That's why she was so destroyed for hurting Stefan.

I could hear her self-loathing nearly every time I saw her. She felt awful about it, but according to her. She was afraid that she might hurt him or that he might hurt her or even me. That was ridiculous. Stefan would never do that. He wasn't Damon. Elena was simply worried about his safety and ours.

I saw how Elena sniffed and then said.

"He's right, you know."

I sighed then slowly nodded my head in agreement. Then I stared at her and replied.

"Even so, we have to do something. He can't be anywhere near that freak. She's out of control and she could hurt him."

Then I narrowed my eyes and said coldly.

"If she does, it will be the last she ever does. I'll make sure of it."

Elena instantly looked up at me and said.

"Leslie, what are you planing?"

I merely smiled and replied.

"I promised that I would never kill no matter how angry I was. Therefore, when I kill her I won't be angry. I'll have emotions turned off and be completely calm."

I saw Elena's eyes grow wide and stare at me in shock. She instantly shook her head and said.

"Leslie, please no. You promised."

I merely began to walk away and then said casually.

"I'm always careful with my wording, Elena. You should be careful to."

"Leslie..."

With that, I walked up to my room and pulled my costume out from my closet. I layed it on my bed and then went and took a shower. Once I was done, I walked out and slipped into my dress. I simply brushed through my natural curls and let my hair fall lightly down. I slipped on a pair of black stilletos and walked to stare at myself in the mirror.

I was wearing a short, black spagetti strap dress that adjusted nicely in the right places. I was simply missing one important part, the wings. I went to my bed and picked up my hand-made, black wings. I had worked on these for a very long time. I was glad all of my effort had finally payed off. The dress I was wearing had also been especially designed to have the wings clipped on the back.

The problem was, how on earth was I going to clip it on? I sighed in defeat and yelled.

"Elena! Come here! I need your help!"

I heard her instantly run up the stairs and come towards my room. She knocked first then opened the door and stepped in. When she saw me her eyes grew wide and she said.

"Wow, Leslie! You look so beautiful! So, you're going as a dark angel?"

I merely smiled and replied.

"A fallen angel to be more accurate. If you look closely you can see that some of the feathers on the wings are missing and some are slightly torn."

She grabbed then carefully and said.

"Wow, you're right. Omg! You're gonna look so gorgeous!"

I sighed and said.

"Sure, sure. Now can you clip them on the back of the dress."

She then frowned and said.

"Leslie, these wings are like huge. Do you think the dress can hold them. They look like they could touch the floor."

I smiled and said.

"Pick them up."

She stared at me curiously and then easily picked them up. Her eyes grew wide in amazement and she instantly said.

"They're so light! How is that possible?"

I simply smiled at her and said.

"Dad. He got the feathers for me and I made the wings."

She lifted them in the air and said in wonder.

"You made these huge things?"

She instantly shook her head and said.

"I guess I shouldn't be surprised. If you can draw people perfectly, making wings must have been a piece of cake for you."

I merely smiled lightly and replied.

"I made them the first week we got here. I was bored, so I decided to entertain myself, but they did take time. I had to make sure which ones would be torn and which ones would be missing."

She stared at me clearly impressed and said.

"Wow! Well, turn around so I can clip them on."

I did as she said and instantly heard the clip snap on the dress. I turned around to stare at her and said.

"Well?"

"You look so beautiful, Leslie! I wish..."

"You wish, what?"

She instantly pulled out her phone and snapped a picture of me. I blinked and said.

"What the hell, Elena? You know I hate pictures!"

She merely smiled innocently and replied.

"Can I take one with you tonight at the party?"

I could see she was giving me her pretty please looks. So, I sighed in resignation and said.

"Alright, but just one."

She smiled brightly and said.

"Thanks, I'm going to go get ready to."

I smiled and replied.

"I'm going to the Grill. I told James I'd meet him there."

She instantly stopped smiling and said.

"Leslie, would you at least try to give him a chance? He's a nice guy and it's so obvious he has a thing for you. Would you please try to be nice?"

I raised my eyebrows and said.

"So you want me to be fake? If he has a "thing" for me then he has to like me, for me. If not, he can go to hell."

"Leslie..."

I shrugged and simply said.

"Either way, I really don't give a damn about what he or anyone thinks of me."

Elena simply sighed then walked out of my room while shaking her head. I smirked towards her direction then walked out. I instantly called my cousin Danny and told him to come pick me up in his truck. He was there in less than a minute. When he saw me he whistled and said.

"Damn, cuz. You look great. So, what's this I hear about you finally going on a date?"

I rolled my eyes and simply replied.

"Elena, what else?"

He merely laughed and said.

"Ha, I should've known. So, what's his name? Is it that Damon guy?"

My eyes instantly snapped open and I said.

"How do you know, Damon?"

"I don't."

"Then, why..."

"My uncle Zack said that he's your new stalker slash boyfriend, whatever."

"He said, what!"

He instantly held up his hands in surrender and said.

"Hey, that's what he said. Don't be mad at me."

I instantly glared at him and said.

"I am going to tell him off so good that dead fish are going to feel sorry for him. What the hell is his deal?"

Danny merely shrugged and said.

"I don't know what's up, so don't ask me."

I simply sighed and said.

"Don't lie to me, Danny. I know you know more than you let on. You just can't say anything."

He smiled and said casually.

"Nah, not really. Come on, where are we dropping you off?"

"We?"

He smiled and waved towards his truck. It was a four door, Ford, F-250. It was black and had a huge barrier on the front. I saw how the driver's window lowered and I saw Sedrick smiling at me. I smiled back and yelled.

"Sedrick! Hey man, how you been?"

He instantly opened the door and jumped out. He came towards me and bowed slightly. I sighed and said sounding annoyed.

"Sedrick, come on..."

He simply smiled at me and said.

"We must show some form of respect towards you prin... I mean, Leslie."

I groaned and said.

"Well at least now you call me, Leslie."

He simply continued smiling and said.

"Where do you wish to go today?"

I grinned and said.

"The Grill, I'm supposed to meet someone there."

He instantly flashed me a smile and replied.

"As you wish."

With that, he motioned for me to get on. Instead of walking over to the passengers side, I walked over to the trunk and motioned for Danny to help me on. They both frowned at me then I heard Danny say.

"Leslie, what are you doing?"

I rolled my eyes and replied.

"Do you really think these things are going to fit inside?"

I saw how Sedrick instantly looked at my wings and looked back at the truck. He immediately shook his head and replied.

"Not even one would be able to fit. No wonder you wished for the truck, prin... Leslie."

I smiled and said.

"See, I can be smartical to."

I saw Danny smile and say.

"Alright, I'll ride in the back with you. Sedrick, you drive."

Sedrick, instantly nodded and got into the driver's seat. Danny carefully helped me in the back and sat next to me. I simply rolled my eyes and said.

"Im not gonna fall, Danny."

Sedrick then started the engine and drove down the road. Danny simply smirked and replied.

"Yeah, and I'm not taking any chances. Do you know what my uncle would do to me, if something happened to you on my watch?"

I simply rolled my eyes and said.

"Scaredy cat."

"Only of your dad, cuz. Only of him. He's a scary motherfucker when he's mad."

I laughed at him and said.

"You say you're scared of him and you just called him a motherfucker. You're real smart, Danny."

He laughed and replied.

"Yeah, I am. Don't tell him I said that though."

I zipped my lips and said.

"I don't even know what you're talking about."

He smiled then put his arm around me and said.

"You are definitely my favorite cousin."

I smirked and replied.

"I get that a lot."

"I'm sure you do."

That's when Sedrick pulled up into the Grill and came to a stop. Danny carefully helped me up and Sedrick was instantly next to the door of the hood helping me down. I smiled at them and said.

"Thanks, guys. I owe you one."

They both instantly shook their heads and said.

"It's our job."

I merely rolled my eyes and waved to them as they drove off. Once I opened the door, I instantly noticed that there were a lot of people already in their costumes. I sighed in relief and walked inside.

As soon as I took my first two steps. I saw how everybody instantly stopped talking and turned to stare at me. Why? Why? Why? Why did this always have to happen? It was a good thing I couldn't read minds. Otherwise, I was sure that a couple of people would be bleeding by now. I took a deep breath and decided to ignore them. I walked slowly towards the bar and took a seat on one of the stools. I looked at the bartender and said.

"The usual."

He instantly nodded his head and walked away to get me my glass of scotch. During one of my visits, I influenced him into serving me scotch every time I came. I also ordered him to tell the others to serve me as well.

Suddenly I heard someone say in a low voice.

"You're no drinker, kitten."

I blinked and instantly turned around and noticed Damon sitting with Tyler's mom talking. He was staring at her, but I could see that he was peeking at me. He smiled at me and winked, when she wasn't looking. I merely rolled my eyes at him and turned back around.

I already had my glass of scotch infront of me. So, I grabbed it and was just about to drink it. When suddenly, someone instantly took it away. I blinked and stared at my empty hand. I instantly glared and turned around to see a smirking Damon drinking my glass. I pressed my teeth together and said.

"What the hell, Damon!"

He ignored me and simply said.

"You're beautiful."

I narrowed my eyes and said.

"Whatever."

Then I decided to ignore him and turned around to order another glass. I felt him put his hand on my shoulder and instantly spin me back to look at him. I glared at him while he merely smirked and said.

"I had no idea you would look this good as an angel. You were right. This costume definitely suits you. Makes me want rip off the rest of your fallen wings."

I wasn't in the mood for his stupid remarks. I was pissed about what Jeremy had said and I was still bitter about stupid Vickie. Not only that, but I had a date that I really didn't want to have. I merely glared at him and said.

"Piss off, Damon. I'm not in the mood."

He merely smiled and replied.

"Oh, and why is that?"

"Your new girlfriend's waiting. Don't disappoint her."

He instantly chuckled and said sarcastically.

"Is that jealousy I hear?"

I merely glared at him and said.

"Fuck off, and just in case you forgot. I already have a date."

I saw how his arrogant smirk instantly disappeared. Ha, that's what he gets for being a moron. That's when I heard a familiar voice come from behind Damon and say.

"Hey, Leslie. Are you ready to go?"

It was James. He was wearing the same costume Antonio Banderas wore when he played in "The Mask of Zorro". He had the boots, the cape, the mask, and even the hat. He looked pretty good actually. I smiled slightly and replied.

"Hey, James. Yeah, I'm ready. Let's get out of here."

I instantly stood and pushed past Damon and walked towards James. I gave him a small smile and said.

"You look good. I've always loved that movie. Antonio Banderas is a great actor. He was perfect for the role."

I saw how he blushed slightly and replied.

"Thanks, but you look beautiful."

He then grabbed my hand in his and cautiously placed a kiss on it. I merely raised my eyebrows at him. He instantly let me go and said.

"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."

I stared at him for a while and then I came to realize something. Elena was right. James did like me. I could see the adoration and happiness in his eyes. It was too bad that I would never return those feelings.

Maybe I could do to him the same thing I did to Damon. Maybe we could just be friends and hang out. Although based on the look he was giving me, I highly doubted it. Then again... Damon looked at me like that sometimes to. The only difference was that Damon only did it to annoy me. Well... that's what I truly hoped was his reason.

I sighed and noticed how everyone was staring at us. Then I looked back towards the bar and saw an extremely annoyed Damon glaring at me. I merely smirked at him and then turned to look back at James. I smiled and said.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go have some fun."

James instantly smiled, exposing his perfect white teeth, and replied.

"Alright, lets go."

He moved out of my way and let me pass. I walked out and instantly sighed. I had to at least try to have a good time. When I turned around, I saw James step out and smile at me. I smiled back and said.

"So, which is your ride?"

He smiled lightly and pointed at the huge blue truck that stood proudly above the other cars. I raised my eyebrows and said impressed.

"Man, that what's up! Nice."

He smiled, truly pleased, and said.

"You really like it?"

I looked back at him and said.

"Are you kidding? It's badass."

He smiled and replied.

"I'm glad you like it."

I simply nodded then moved towards the trunk and said.

"So, are you gonna help me up, or what?"

He stared at me completely confused and said.

"What?"

"My costume won't fit inside. I have to ride in the back."

His eyes grew wide with fear and he instantly said.

"Leslie, I don't think that's safe. What if you fall?"

I merely rolled my eyes at him and said.

"How do you think I got here? I rode in the back of a truck, duhh."

He took a deep breath and said.

"Okay, I'll help you, but I'm going to make sure you're safe."

I simply rolled my eyes, but nodded my head. He came towards me and carefully lifted me up onto the trunk. He instantly jumped in the back with me and tried helping me sit down. I immediately shook my head and said.

"Nah, I want to stand. Is it alright if I stand up?"

"You want to, what?"

I smiled lightly and said.

"I want to be standing on our way there. Is that alright?"

He simply stared at me for a couple of seconds. Finally, he sighed and said.

"Alright, just let me tie you."

I instantly raised my eyebrows and said.

"What?"

He smiled and said.

"Let me tie something to the roof lights, so you can hold on."

I relaxed and said.

"Oh, alright."

He then got off and went inside looking for something to tie. He looked and looked, but couldn't seem to find anything. Finally, he came back and said.

"I can't find anything to tie. Would you mind if I tied battery charging cables that you can hold on to?"

"Go for it."

He smiled then went back inside and pulled blue battery cables out. He jumped back on top then tied them around the lights that were on the roof. He gave me two of of the pincer looking things and said.

"Hold on to these and don't let them go."

I smiled at him and said.

"Kay."

He smiled back at me then jumped off and went into the driver's side. He looked at me through the review mirror and smiled. I simply smiled back and yelled.

"Kay, let's go!"

He laughed at that then slowly and carefully pulled out. He drove slowly all the way to school, but had the stereo up at high volume. I was simply smiling and holding on to the cords with one hand and waving my other in the air dancing to the music. It was the song, "Hello Good Morning", by Diddy Dirty Money. I was simply holding on and moving my hips to the beat.

Once we arrived into the pariking lot. I saw how everyone turned to look at us. I noticed how their mouths were hanging open staring at me dancing on the back. He slipped into a spot just big enough for the truck then turned off the engine. He instantly got out and came quickly towards the back to help me get off. He held my hand and helped me jump gently off the back. He instantly let go and said with a smile.

"Damn, Leslie. You are seriously the coolest girl I have ever met. You can fight, you're funny, and you can dance."

I merely smirked and said.

"Yeah, I've heard that before."

He smiled back at me and said.

"I'm sure you have."

Surprisingly enough, I was actually having fun with him. He hadn't gone all overprotective like Stefan was over Elena. He gave me what I wanted and didn't complain. He was also nice and a complete gentleman. I smiled at him and said.

"Well, come on. I heard there's going to be nachos and I want some."

He laughed and said.

"Alright, let's go get you some nachos."

We walked inside and I noticed how everyone instantly moved out of way. If it was out of fear or because my wings were too big, I didn't know. Maybe it was a bit of both. I merely shrugged it off and went for some nachos. I was about to pay when James beat me to it. I stared at him and said.

"You didn't have to do that. I was going to..."

He instantly smiled brightly and said.

"Hey, I asked you out. So, anything you want is on me."

I merely shook my head and said.

"You're so nice, James."

He frowned and said.

"Is that a bad thing?"

I stared up at him and noticed how he seemed frightened. He was afraid I would reject him because of the way he was. Why would I reject him for being honest about his personality? I would only reject him if he were fake, but not for being himself. I instantly smiled at him and said.

"No, no way in hell is that a bad thing. Being honest about the way you are is never a bad thing."

He sighed in relief and said.

"That's good."

I simply smiled and then proceeded to eat my nachos. Man, I loved nachos! I was definitely going to tell Elena to make me some tomorrow.

We moved away from the table and went to stand near the corner of the room. We talked a little and he told me a little bit about himself. Like that his dad was a doctor at the local hospital and that he had no idea where his mom was. He said he was the running back of the football team and that he took mechanics as his other elective. When I asked him about his other one. He simply laughed and said that we were in the same class. That's when I remembered that we both took singing together.

I blushed in embarrasment and simply kept eating my nachos. Now that I thought of it, he had a very beautiful voice. When he sang it was like he was singing from the heart. His voice was like a perfectly symphony. It was soft and calm, but when necessary it had that high edge. I had heard him sing only twice, and I had instantly looked up at him. When I did, I realized he was staring directly at me. At that time, I had simply rolled my eyes and ignored him. Now, I realized that he had a very musical and magical voice.

When I was done with my nachos, the song "Thriller" by Michael Jackson instantly came on. I instantly looked at him and said.

"I bet I can make everyone in here dance at the same time."

He looked at me and said curiously.

"How?"

"Watch me."

I instantly grabbed his hand and dragged him towards the center of the room. Just like before, everyone moved out of the way. Once the singing began, I turned to face him and said.

"Play along."

He instantly obliged and we began to act the parts of the song. I saw how everyone instantly turned to watch us dance. Then I smiled at him and said.

"Do you know how to do the thriller dance?"

He instantly shook his head and said.

"Not really."

"That's okay, just follow my lead."

He nodded his head in agreement and we parted. I instantly began dancing and him along with me watching me carefully. We would do the slide to the side part and when we had to move our hips, we did everything. I especially loved the part were we had to make our hands into like claws and move from left to right.

I instantly noticed how a lot of people were moving to stand behind me and were dancing to. I instantly smiled and turned to face them. I would move and they would move with me. By the time I had turned around, everyone in the room was dancing with me. I laughed and simply continued dancing. Then I turned around and kept dancing.

I noticed how more people were walking in. Although, since so many people were already dancing there was no more room for them. I instantly noticed Elena near the front with her mouth open watching me dance. Then James came to dance beside me and I simply smiled at him.

Towards the end of the song, I looked at the onlookers and made my eyes turn a feiry violet. I heard a few gasps and a few laughs. I simply kept my eyes like that and continued dancing. Then I let my curls swing and cover part of my face. Finally, the song was over and the entire room broke in cheers. I merely smiled at them and gave a small bow. The people that had been dancing instantly began chanting.

"Leslie! Leslie! Leslie!"

I merely turned to them and gave a small bow as well. I winked then went to James and said.

"Told you, so."

He simply smiled at me and said.

"Yeah, you did. That was amazing."

He then gave me an awkward side hug and I returned it lightly. Then I turned to where Elena had been and instantly regretted it. Elena was no longer there. Who was there... was a dangerous, lethal vampire who looked like was on the verge of murder. He had his hands into tight fists and was giving me a look of betrayal. He turned around and stalked away angrily. Oh god, what on earth was Damon going to do?
