SSSOOOO...... here's chapter nine... 'A Look Into The Past part 1'
P. O. V. (Rome Italy 1520)
"Damon! Come ON we're going to be late!" my dorm mate Ciro Luciano Roberto said as I searched for my note paper
"FOUND IT!" I said holding up a worn piece of pater with some notes on it.
"Good. Now lets go!" Ciro and then, we started sprinting down the corridor to architecture
We arrived with seconds to spare.
Class started and I was only half paying attention, the other half of me was lost in a dream of meeting a beautiful girl and having a family, when I was done at the University.
"Mr. Salvatore," Professor Leonardo said
"Yes?" I asked
"Can you tell me where this type of pillar originated?
"I studied the drawing
"Greece." I said
"Very good," Professor Leonardo said and then he continued talking and I went back to my dream.
~Next Day, Saturday No Classes!!~
"Damon! Wake up!" Ciro called
"Why?! Its Saturday!" I said sleepily as I rolled over
"Because, its eleven and we're going to town today," He said
"Fine. I'll meet you down stairs." I said as I sat up
"Alright," Ciro said be fore he walked out of the dorm closing the door behind him.
I got dressed, washed my face, brushed my hair, and walked out the door. I walked down to where I was to meet Ciro, when I got there, I saw him and a few others,
"Damon, about time you showed up." One boy said I think his name is Fredrick
"What can I say? I like to sleep in." I said as we star walking
****
While at down, we got our stuff, and then the idiots my 'Friends' are... they got drunk.
As they stumbled around like the idiots they were, we pasted the most beautiful girl, in all of Italy. Walking out of Professor Kateb Alfonso Maverick's writing school.
She looked at my drunk friends, and then at me. She had the most wonderful brown eyes. I got lost in them.
"Hello," She said walking up to me.
"Hello," I said pausing for a name
"Emily" she said
I could listen to her for, forever, her voice sounded like angles ringing bells
"And you are?" she asked
"Damon Salvatore at your service." I said kissing her hand
she blushed and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
"Shouldn't you catch up to your friends?" she asked
"Well they're not really my friends, their just boys I got to school with." I told her
"Oh.... where do you go to school?" she asked as we started walking in the other direction of my "friends".
At the University." I said
"Oh." she responded
We walked and talked for a while, and then we came to a very beautiful, large, but homely house.
"Well this is were I must say good bye," she said I saw sadness fill her eyes
"I hope to see you again Emily," I said bowing and kissing her hand again
"And I you, Damon." those were her last words before she turned and walked inside.
I sighed and walked back o school thinking of her.

When I got back to my dorm, I found Ciro past out on his bed, it was still light out, so I decided to do some homework before I had to light a candle.
I fished everything before the sun went down.
Ciro was still asleep, so I decided to take a walk in the twilight.
Only one thought ran threw my head as I walked, Emily.
I walked from early twilight, 'till night.
I got back to my dorm, changed and then laid in my bed thinking of her light brown hair, deep brown eyes, pale skin that felt like silk.
I fell asleep dreaming of my afternoon.
I woke to the sound of Ciro looking for a glass of water.
"Wow, you're loud." I mumbled sleepily
"Sorry, I can't see straight." he said
"You had a rough afternoon, drunk."
"Don't remind me!" he groaned as he flopped down on his bed "So, who was that girl you walked off with?" he asked
"How drunk where you? I didn't walk off with a girl, I walked off by myself thinking how idiotic you all were." I told him as the memory of Emily flooded back into my head.
"Alright, I just thought I saw a girl."
"I'll see you later, I"m going to take a walk." I said as i grabbed my coat and walked out of the dorm.
It was the same time as yesterday, when Emily came out of Maverick's but I'm not sure if he teaches on Sundays
I walked by and saw Emily leaving the little school
"Good bye," she said and then she turned around
I thought my memories of her where beautiful, but they where nothing compared to the seeing her in person
"Good Afternoon, Damon." she said with a small smile
"Hello again, Emily." I said as we walked around town, talking telling jokes when we reached her house, her eyes deepened with sadness, it made me want to pull her in my arms and tell her I'd never leave
"Well Good Night Mr. Salvatore." She said with a small curtsy
"Good Night Ms. Alessandro I said bowing and kissing her hand.
She gave me a small sad smile and then walked inside, I walked down her steps smiling to myself.
I walked back to my dorm and found Ciro fast asleep. I checked that my homework was paced up and ready for class tomorrow.
Then I crawled in bed, blew out my candle, and fell into a dream of Emily.
~FRIDAY!!!!!~
"Class since summer holiday is only a couple months away, we're going to work on some practice exams." Professor Leonardo said
There where a couple of moans and then Professor Leonardo started the lesson I remembered this from last year, so I let my mind drift.
All I could think about was Emily, her face, kept reappearing in my mind. My thoughts were interrupted by the bell telling us, school was over.
Ciro and I walked back to our dorm, talking about how boring class was.
When we got to the dorm, I told Ciro that I was going for a walk.
"Curfews early tonight." he reminded me as he started on his homework
I walked into town looking for Emily, I found her walked home.
"Emily," I said
"Yes?" she responded
"Would you like to have dinner with me on tomorrow?" I asked
Her eyes, flashed shock, and then turned warm, and happy.
"Yes." she said smiling
I kissed her hand and said, "I'll see you tomorrow,"
"Tomorrow." she said, and then walked inside
I walked down the steps and spun in a circle.. she was all I could think of was her. I walked around the campus, until twilight. Then I walked back to my dorm, to find Ciro asleep.
I pulled out my homework, and a candle, I started it, but all i could think about was Emily.
When I finally finished my homework, it was late twilight. I blew out my candle, and crawled into bed, thinking about my date tomorrow.
~Saturday!! No Class & Damon and Emily's date!!!! 3~
"Good evening Ms. Alessandro," I said when Emily stepped out her door
"Good evening Mr. Salvatore," she said with a curtsy
Emily didn't have class today, so at five, I went and picked her up at her house. She wasn't wearing anything fancy, just a simple long sleeved dress, with a white top, and a brown skirt, it hugged her just right.
I kissed her hand, and still holding it, I lead her down the stairs.
"You look wonderful." I said
"Thank you she said, blushing and looking down at her shoes with a small smile "You look great too." she said
"Thanks," I said, I was glad it was mid-twilight, I was blushing...
"AAAAAWWWW you're blushing!!" Emily said giggling
"What? No I'm not!" I said
"Yes you are!" she said still giggling
which made me blush more.
We walked to the little pub, I saw the other day, it was clam, quiet and the prefect place.
We sat down at a table in the back, a waitress came over
"Hello, tonight we have soup, beef and pork, beer, rum, brandy, scotch, water, and tea."
she said in an unhappy tone
"I'll have the soup and tea please," Emily said
"I'll have the beef and water," I said
"Alright," the waitress said before she walked away
"What? No beer?" Emily asked teasingly
"I believe that a gentleman should stay un-drunk on his first date." I told her
We talked a little more, and then our food came, and there was a little less talking.
Finally when we finished, I payed the bill, and then said
"Come on, I want to show you something." I told Emily as I grabbed her and and we walked out of the restaurant.
"Okay," She responded curiously
We walked past the university to a clearing in the woods, I had found on one of my walks. It was on a cliff, that over looked a lake that sparkled with the last rays of sun, there were wild flowers everywhere, in colors of pink, white, red, yellow, purple, and orange.
Emily looked around
"Its beautiful." she said
"Not as beautiful as you." I said
She turned to look at me, the rays of sun not only touched the lake, but her eyes, and they lit up even more when she smiled. She was a true goddess.
We sat down, and talked more, and more. I could listen to her for hours, and even if it was the same word, over, and over again, I would never grow bored.
We fell asleep, her in my arms, due to the cold. and when we looked up we were looking at the most speculator sky, that I had ever seen.
The stars glittered over head, and theirs' and the moon's reflections now glittered over the lake.
"Wow." I heard her mumble as she sat up
"Yes." I breathed also sitting up
"I should probably get home," she said as she stood and dusted herself off.
"Yeah, come on." I said as I got to m feet and dusted my self off as well.
We walked back though the woods, I leading, to protect her from any night dweller.
I walked her home, and lead her up the steps
"Good night, Ms. Alessandro. I hope the most pleasant of dreams for you." I said kissing her hand
"Good night to you as well, Mr. Salvatore. And I wish the same for you." she responded
"Well, then you'll know they'll be about you." I said blushing a little more
'Thank goodness for the dark.' I thought
Then she did something unexpected
She kissed my cheek,
"You have a handsome blush." she said before she slipped inside.
I walked down her steps and spun around.
'I am the happiest man in all of Italy. No in all the World.' I thought as I started to walk back to the university.
Half way there, I heard someone step out behind me,
I pulled my dagger from holder on the side of my boot.
"Put the blade away." I heard a man say
He was fairly close,
I stood still.
"I said, put the blade way. I'm not going to rob you, hurt you. I carry no weapon of my own. I merely came to ask what are you doing out at such an hour?"
"I'm not putting my blade away, incase. But I fell asleep in the woods, and am making my way back to the university. What are you doing out a this hour?" I said turning towards the man
"I am a traveler. I am looking for a boarding house to stay the rest of the night, before continuing my journey. Good night boy." the man said and then he walked away.
'Strange.' I thought.
I walked back to my dorm, with my dagger still in hand.
I slipped silently through the corridors, and then through my door.
laid on my bed and fell asleep only thinking of Emily.
I awoke the next morning to find, a note next to me saying
Damon,
The guys and I are in town. We'll be there all day.
Ciro
I sat up, and rubbed my eyes , yawned and then got dressed.
I did my homework, and by the time I was done, the guys had just gotten back.
Ciro walked in and handed me a letter, the wax stamp, had an 'E' in it.
"This girl in town, asked me to give this to you." he stuttered and then he fell on his bed, asleep. But I could still smell the alcohol on his breath.
I opened the letter, and inside written in perfect form was...
Damon,
Please meet me on our cliff, as soon as you get this letter.
Sincerely,
Emily
I jumped to my feet, careful not to make too much noise, I grabbed a jacket and a blanket.
I slipped out of my dorm, and the university.
I made my way silently through the forest, retracing my steps to get to the cliff, there was enough light to see, as it was only four.
I got to the clearing, and saw Emily, facing the lake. She was warring a thicker blue dress, and had on a white jacket.
I called her name to announce my presence.
She turned and looked at me, I sore she got more beautiful every day.
"Damon" she said as she glided over to me
I kissed her hand and repeated her name, the I took the blanket and laid it down on the ground.
Emily walked a couple of steps and picked something up, and turned back around. In her hand was a basket.
"What's that?" I asked
"Dinner, I didn't know if you ate, but I thought it would be a good idea if we had dinner here."
"Its perfect." I said, she gave me a smile, and then she sat down next to me.
She pulled out, a beef soup, water, tea and bread
Our dinner, was similar to last night's, only we were on our cliff, just us, and Emily had made the most wonderful food, I had ever tasted.
After eating, we laid on the blanket, watching the clouds, turn orange as the sun set.
We talked about what we wanted from life, our dreams.
"I want to become a renounded writer, get married and have a family." Emily told me as she laid in my arms
"That's similar to what I want," I said
"What do you want?" she asked looking up at me
"I want to finish at the university, get married, have a family, and take over my father's business." I told her as I looked down into her eyes.
I looked up at the moon, it hung over us, like a spotlight.
"Have you ever danced under the moon?" I asked her
She gave me a confused look
I pulled my self to my feet, and then held out my hand to help her up
"But there's no music." she said
"Imigane it." I said and we stepped off the blanket, and we danced, the moon, our light, the stars and fireflies our song.
"Damon," she said looking up at me
