Chapter 9-
Damon heard the car driving up the driveway, and went out of the house to see who it was. He saw it was Aria in her Honda Accord. He wondered why she was there. As she exited the car, he saw how goregeous she looked. Her hair was in tight little ringlets, and he imagined his fingers messing them up. She was wearing a corset dress, and he imagined him ripping it off her body and he also imagined what she had on underneath it. She had tights on, and he imangined him taking them off as well. And her boots gave her height, and he all around loved the way she looked.
As they talked, he kept a poker face. He couldn't believe he was actually having feelings towards this girl, and it wasn't just lust. It was something deeper. He had slowly gotten to know her through her conversations here with Stefan and Elena. But she didn't know him. And there inlies the problem.
When they were in the house, and he was just inches away from her face and moments away from kissing her, he heard a noise. He heard another vampire getting closer to his house. He didn't want Aria to be in any danger, and took her hand. After he had convinced her to stay hidden in a closet, he "messed up" again and ran away at vampric speeds.
He saw an old, well, an old enemie of his. William Hawthorne. He had altercations between him a few 50 years ago.
"Hello, Damon," William said.
"William. What are you doing here?" Damon asked.
"I'm here to kill you. You shouldn't have messed with me all those years ago." he said, circling Damon.
"As much as I'd love to have this conversation, I need you to leave." Damon said, knowing if William caught wind of Aria's scent he'd kill her.
"Why is that, Damon?" WIlliam said.
"Well I have too much to live for. Why waste your time spilling blood?" Damon said.
"Because it's so much fun." William answered.
"Well... what if I offered you something amazing, and in return, you spare me my life. Forever." Damon said. Vampires couldn't resist a good deal.
"What is it?"
"Katrina Petrova." Damon said, knowing what he was going to do.
"... Katrina?" William said.
"Yes. I have her. Wait for me outside and I'll take you to her." Damon said. William nodded, and was gone. Damon ran to Aria. He opened the closet door to see her still sitting there. He smiled at her.
"I'll be right back. Just don't move. Everything's under control." he said. She nodded, and after he closed the door, he was outside with William.
He led William to the tomb in where Katherine was. He opened the door and summoned her. She showed her face, and soon, Damon pushed Willliam in.
"You tricked me, Damon!" William yelled.
"I know. At least you have company." Damon said, and shut the tomb. After he closed it tightly shut, he ran back to the Salvatore house.
