Chapter 9:
Jade's POV:
I sat on a big comfy chair inside a dark room completely space out. There was no one in the room but me and i figured this was a good as time as any to bring my thoughts together and think about what happened down at the cellar. I'd drunk blood in front of my father and he was ok with it. It was amazed by my fathers unflinching support and all this time i thought he would disown me or something but he did the opposite.
My eyes watered at the memory of him telling me i could never be Isobel and handing me the bottle full of blood. Could it be true? Could i control this vampire side of me and not become just like Isobel, completely unfeeling. I was afraid of this so much more then anything else.
I was distracted by my thoughts when my ear caught the sound of foot steps making their way closer to the room i occupied. I new who it was before the person reached the door and opened it.
Damon now walked through the door from the brightly lit hallway into the dark room.
"Liking my room Jade?" Damon said smirking.
I crooked smile made it way to my face, "Yeah its cozy."
"Glad you like it." he said placing his hand into his jean pockets. "How are you doing? Thirsty? Though you look more like your gloating. Oh no don't tell me you're like Stefan..."
Jade looked at him confused, "Like Stefan? And no i'm not thirsty. I'm fine."
"Never mind and uh are you sure. You're a newb and all so you need a lot, especially in your case with the prolonged transition and all."
I was feeling annoyed now and got up from the chair. "I'm fine really." I said while fixing my wrinkled clothes.
"Ok if you say so. Well your father told me to tell you he will be back as soon as the sun goes down. He had to go and run some errands so he left."
I nodded, "ok" I made my way to the window in his room that had a thick curtain blocking the sun from coming through. I reached to pull it back but Damon quickly came forward and stopped my hand from puling it back.
"What are you doing?" He said a frown on his face.
"Letting some light into the room." I said a frowning as well.
"You could just turn on a light." He said pointing to the lamp on his night stand.
"No I want don't artificial light."
Damon rolled his eyes and made his way to the lamp turning it on. "Look light. It's just as good."
I giggled at his exaggerated eye rolling because he looked funny doing it. "No its not." I said and opened the drapes a bit stepping away from its rays as i did. The room was now lit with a nice hue and i smiled at him showing him my satisfaction.
"See now i won't gloat anymore." I said making my way back to the chair i had previously occupied that stood in the corner of the room and out of the sun rays trail.
Damon crossed the sun rays towards me, "You are weird."
"Not as weird as you i'm sure." I said with a smirk.
"Watever", he said sitting himself on the arm of the big chair.
"I wanted to thank you." I said looking up at him.
"For what?", he said furrowing his eye brows, looking uncomfortable.
"For being there for me you know down at the cellar."
He got up from the chair and walked towards the other end of the room while saying, "I didn't save your life Alaric did."
"Well you were still there helping none the less." I said following his movements as i sat on the chair. He was now opening into the door into a closet it looked like.
"Don't thank me." He yelled from where he was.
"I want to." I said my voice load so to make sure he could hear me.
"You are aware that i turned Isobel right?" He said making his way out of the closet room he was in, wearing new clothes and a leather jacket.
I looked away from him at my hands, "I wanted to talk to you about that."
I saw him sigh while looking down at the floor thinking about something hard.
"Why did you do it?" I said making my way off the chair a little worried by his changed demeanor. I stopped a foot away from him.
He looked up at me his blue eyes dark in the dimly lit room, "Like i said before she wanted it and i wanted... blood. It was convenient for me at the time."
I breathed in deeply while nodding my understanding, "oh"
I turned around walking back to the chair letting myself sit down ungracefully.
"I'm not my brother Jade. I'm not nice" he said, "I don't know why you seem disappointed. I never let you think i was nothing other than what i am.
"Unfeeling, sarcastic, and self centered?" I said looking back in his direction while i slouched on the chair.
He walked a few steps forward and nodded. "You got me down to the point. So, why the face?"
"Because... you've showed me different, hence my confusion."
"Confusion?" he said furrowing his eye brows.
"You helped me down at the cellar. What was that? You thought i was not going to remember your words? The way you were trying to keep me alive?" I said my voice rising now and i noticed i had some how risen from my place on the chair and was now in his face. I blinked a couple of time and took a step back, a little surprised at my self. "S-Sorry. I don't know what came over me."
"Being a vampire makes your emotions stronger. You're not used to it yet."
I nodded and Damon looked at me for a second more before heading out the door.
"Damon, where are you going?"
He didn't turn around he just kept on walking down the hall and i followed him making sure i stayed away from every sun ray making its way through the windows. But then i stumbled upon a ray that was much too large and stretched touching the wall right across. I was blocked from following him further. That is when Damon stopped and turned around to stair at me. I wanted to know what he was thinking he seemed to have a lot on his mind.
"You seemed like a good piece of ass to keep around but i've noticed you're much too clingy for my taste." And with those words he walked away down the rest of the hall and disappeared, while i stood their dump founded and even more confused then i was before.
