Morning came rather quickly and the air was brittle and cold. I had fallen asleep in Elena's bed with my back turned to her. Turning slightly I found that Elena wasn't beside me anymore; I raised myself up and looked around. Sun was coming brightly through her windows which was a whole new experience for me now since I had lived in Forks. I shivered and pulled the blankets closer before I heard a quiet yawn from the doorway.
"She's gone already." A ruffled voice said.
It was Jeremy, he still had on his pajamas and his messy hair was in his eyes. "She left about thirty minutes ago…" That was the last thing he said before walking away. At the moment I sort of wished I had a brother someone to be close too. Elena seemed lucky but those thoughts were quickly pushed into the back of my mind.
I arose from the bed and shivered when my feet hit the cold, wood floors. Jeremy was heading down the stairs so I headed too the doorway too but was stopped by a tall figure.
"Where do you think your going?" Looking up I saw Damon. His smirk was practically glowing. "To the kitchen, you know to eat?" The strain on my voice surprised me. "Hmm...No your not. Look, Elena and Stephan are out doing Katherine things and I got stuck with baby sitting." He put his hands up and clapped them together.
"Yay!" Damon's voice was sarcastic.
"What makes you think I need baby sitting?" I asked as I moved to the left attempting to get pass him. He put his arm slightly over so I couldn't and with a groan I moved back.
"Plenty," He smiled "First of all you're pretty naive. Second wearing clothes like that is sure to get someone to use you so stay clear of Tyler Lockwood he's about as frisky as a dog." His eyes traveled my body.
I decided to say nothing and keep what pride I had. All though I did wonder who Tyler Lockwood was...
"Thirdly it's better than sitting at home wallowing in my own misery I'm too incredibly hot for that." His smirk turned into a smile and he moved closer to me. I slightly moved back and received a glare before walking out into the hallway and down the stairs. Every part of the house had a strange feeling to it, stranger then it had when I awkwardly came in the first place. Jeremy looked up slightly and with a small smirk he waved. "Your up." He stated. "I mean you're actually moving." He smiled but it quickly turned into a frown when he saw Damon come up behind me. I had a feeling not many people actually liked Damon, but I couldn't really blame them. "Yeah-Um-Jeremy I have a question..?" I began but in an instant Damon's hand was over my mouth.
"No time for questions. Were going out." He smiled wide and Jeremy looked as if he would kill him.
At this moment I was actually a bit intrigued with his tone of voice. It was something about the way he said that caused my stomach to turn. I smiled under his hand but stopped myself for being stupid. Damon lifted his hand, "Come on kid you're going too." Jeremy didn't smile but walked up indicating he would be fine with that.
I gave Jeremy a small smile and he returned one before I headed upstairs to change. Walking up the stairs I could have sworn I heard something creak behind me but I pushed it to the back of my mind before walking into Elena's bedroom. I walked over to my plain bag and searched through it diligently. After about two minutes of searching I pulled out an old pair of jeans and a purple tank top.
I changed quickly and ran Elena's brush through my hair before running downstairs where Damon casually leaned against the kitchen doorframe with his arms crossed and Jeremy was sitting on the couch.
Jeremy got up and Damon walked to the door, I walked behind him and he opened the door. "Ladies first." His smirk was over dramatic as if he expected me to do something. I didn't give him that bonus, but only muttered a small thank you with my head down. I turned slightly, "Go on Jeremy I said ladies first." Damon had a full blown smile and Jeremy walked out and muttered something that sounded like something between the words 'stupid, that, and dick.' I chuckled a bit and climbed into Damon's car. Jeremy got the back seat with a sigh; his jeans didn't go well against the leather. He looked very uncomfortable and looking at him that moment reminded me of a small child annoyed because it was taking to long to get to an amusement park or something.
The driver's side door opened and Damon slid in. He had lost his smile and for some reason he now seemed more mature which seemed practically impossible for him. The car started with a low growl and Damon pushed on the gas petal his mature featured completely wearing off. About five minutes to the drive Jeremy leaned up to us from the back, "So where are we going, Damon?" He asked. "Well," Damon grinned.
"Were going to go see where the wolves are hiding." I looked at him confused. "The wolves?" I asked. "Are you ready for this Bella?" Jeremy suddenly said his voice told me he knew what Damon was talking about. I nodded firmly and we pulled up slightly hidden. "Where are we Damon?" I asked.
"We have to find out why he needs the moonstone so much." Damon muttered as he turned off the car.
"What?" I followed him out of the car. Jeremy stayed behind, "Damon!" I raised my voice and he quickly shushed me. "Stay here." Damon left me behind the bushes; I ignored him and looked walked a bit where he went before looking through the bushes. When I did I sucked in quickly at the sight before me, Damon shoved a man into the back of a jeep looking car. The man had casual clothes on, and he had scruff around his chin area. Damon had no sympathy on his face before he walked back to the car.
"Jeremy, drive." He threw Jeremy the keys and left as quick as he arrived.
I glanced at Jeremy with a concerned look.
"What was that all about?" I asked.
Jeremy sighed and climbed in the driver's side. I climbed in and grabbed Jeremy's arm so he couldn't turn the key. "What...was...that...all about?" I asked my voice was more demanding.
He looked at me in my eye, "...We'll see." That was the last words he said before he turned the key and we took off.
We pulled up to Damon and Stefan's house. I got out as soon as I saw the jeep that belonged to that man. "Bella. Wait!" Jeremy yelled as I walked quickly to the door.
He caught a hold of my shoulder and I shoved him off then opened the door. Jeremy beat me to the door that I could hear Damon's angry voice radiating out of.
"Bella just stay here." Jeremy told me.
He then walked into the door leaving me in the hallway hopelessly confused.
I could barley hear Jeremy and Damon talking but after a few moments I heard Damon tell Jeremy to leave. A second later Jeremy walked out the door with an annoyed expression. "Come on Bella." He grabbed the upper part of my arm. "Jeremy what's going on in there?" My voice was hard. "Nothing. Lets. Go." He pulled me again. "No Jeremy." I told him. "Bella," He pulled me harder. "Come on!" I pulled my arm free.
"I. Said. No." I told him my voice toxic. Jeremy looked doubtful but with a angry sigh he stomped out the door leaving me there once again.
Suddenly I heard a piercing scream of pain and with a jolt of fear I cracked open the door.
My eyes widened from the scene before me. Damon was putting something on the man that he kidnapped. The man was tied up to a scare and he screamed again in pain or terror. I jumped slightly and I wanted to run but my feet wouldn't move. Damon asked him something and the last thing I heard the man mutter was something like.
"She loves me…" Then in a horrible moment Damon pulled the man's heart out of his chest. I felt my knee's go weak my stomach churned and I felt as if I would be sick. A sudden impulse hit me and I ran, I couldn't feel my feat moving but I saw my surroundings change as I ran out the door. I got out to the yard before I was stopped with two strong hands on my shoulders.
I looked up, it was Damon.
"You-You..." I couldn't get any words out.
"You killed him." My voice slurred and Damon looked at me hard.
"Bella your breathing weird. Calm down." His voice filled my ears but it didn't reach any part of my brain. "You killed him!" I yelled.
"Why did you do that?" I screamed my voice quivered. "Bella listen to me. Calm. Down." He voice almost sounded threatening but that just sent me more on edge.
"Why did you KILL him!" I struggled to get out of his hold.
"Listen to me-shh...listen too me…it was Mason Lockwood Bella-shh! He had information, I had too."
I heard all kinds of strange words coming out of his mouth before my knees finally gave out leaving me into blackness.
I'm back! Yay! Anyway, yes this is set back in Season two and yes I did cry when Mason died. Please review!
