I wonder where I am? This looks like a fine estate, but I am sure I haven't been here. "Had father really sold me as a slave he said he would? No, that's can't be the truth. He wouldn't do that to me, would he?" I must find some gentleman and ask where I am. I don't remember coming here.
When I was making my way down the foyer I caught my reflection in the mirror and froze. I am wearing something made up of leather and beneath it a shirt that is far softer then my daily wears. These are not my daily clothes. But that is not the thing that caught my attention. My hair. It's short and straight. I remember it being longer and curlier up until yesterday. I don't remember visiting a barber yesterday.
I am muddled, I must find someone. I will ask them where I am, so I can return to my home. I discover a large living room where Stefan, Katherine-our house guest, she came two days ago only- a girl that looks like Emily, girl that has faint features of Mrs. Forbes and two men were sitting.
"Brother, why are we here?" I asked Stefan. Relieved to have finally found him.
"Damon, we both decided yesterday to have a meeting today. And you are already half an hour late." He told me and I was confused.
"I apologise. But what is this meeting about? And who are all these people?" I asked genuinely confused. I do not remember any of these people.
"Damon, you don't remember who I am?" Katherine asked.
"Of course I do, Miss Katherine." I told her.
"What?" Everyone spit out at the same time. Shock evident on their face.
"You just came here yesterday, didn't you? Father told me." I said proudly, that I remember.
"I am not Katherine," The girl said with disgusted," I am Elena"
"But father told me you were Katherine." I tell her.
"You have got to be kidding me." A man that looks older than everyone present here said.
"And who you might be sir?" I asked him politely.
"I am Alaric," The man answered. A girl that resemble Emily was glaring at me. Did I do something wrong?
"Are you related to Emily in some way? Doesn't she looks like Emily, brother?" I ask her.
"Yes, she is." Stefan answers.
"Brother I might ask, how did I get in these foreign cloths?" I asked and everyone continued staring at me.
"Damon, what do you remember before getting here?" The boy asked.
"I was with father in the study. And then I found myself here. Who you are again, sir?" I asked.
"I am Jeremy. Elena's brother." He said and I remembered nothing of a Jeremy.
"But Father told me our house-guest was alone in the world." I spoke confused. This was so not how I remember things.
"I still can't believe you lost your memory. By the way, I am Bonnie." The girl that looks like Emily said.
"And I am Caroline." The blonde girl said.
There is a silence in the room and suddenly I am aware of four thumping sounds in the room. My throat became noticeably dry and without thinking I jump towards Elena. A pain shot through my head and I clutch it in my hand and fall to the ground.
"Bonnie, stop!" I heard Elena shout before Stefan stabbed me with a needle and I black out.
I wake up in a dark cell like room. I was thinking right, father seems to have sold me. But what did I do? Suddenly some memories came rushing to me.
I was attacking Katherine, no, wait, she said her name was Elena. Why did I attack her? And what was that thumping sound? It sounded like a heartbeat. And my throat went dry like someone has rubbed it with sand paper. And I am so thirsty. But when I think about thirst, it is not the thirst for water. I need that warm dark red coloured liquid that was running inside that fine women, Elena, who looks like our house-guest, Katherine. There was this one girl that said her name was Bonnie; she was doing something with her hand and mind that caused a very sharp pain in my head.
"What was she? A psychic? What am I? Demon? Devil? Why do I feel this thirst for blood? Am I one of those demons father told us about? No, that can't be true. I would remember if I was one, wouldn't I?" I thought to myself.
I heard two pairs of footsteps advancing toward me and only one of them has a heartbeat. First Stefan's face came into view, right behind him was Elena, "How are you feeling?" She asked.

"I am fine. I apologise for my previous behaviour, Miss Elena," Damon said with guilt," I don't know what came over me."
"You don't need to be sorry, Damon. And call me Elena." She said with a smile on her face. She was very beautiful, very much like Katherine.
"Here, have this," Stefan said throwing a blood bag inside the cell. "You will feel better."
"I can't drink this!" Damon said disgusted. I haven't ever imagined him repulsed by blood. The Damon I know would have jumped at a chance like this.
"Damon, you have to." Stefan insisted.
"No! I refuse to." He declared.
"Do you want to get out of here?" I ask softly. I could see the change in his face when I said this. His face grew a bit happy at the idea of getting out of here.
"Yes." He said cheerfully.
"Then you will have to drink this first." I told him and he looked resistant once again.
"But, this is someone's blood." I can tell he was trying to resist it.
"Damon, please!" I pleaded like I did at that night in the tomb. He slowly drank the blood.
"Elena, are you sure this is a good idea?" He asked me softly.
"Yes. I am 100% positive." I said and Stefan opened the door and left.
"You shouldn't be here!" Damon said taking a step back when I enter the cell," I almost killed you last time."
"You wouldn't now. You just had a blood bag." I said advancing towards him.
"But, I just tried to hurt you. How are you sure I wouldn't again?" He asked
"Because I know you." I said taking his hand in mine and softly caressing it.
"How? I don't remember meeting you." He spoke.
"Yeah, I know." I said, I know we will have to address the issue at a point of time, "It's because you have lost your memories."
A/N: So how was it? Did you like it? How will Damon react hearing this? Will he freak? Will he stay calm? What will he do? How is Elena gonna make him believe she is telling the truth? Please review and share your ideas!
