Hey guys! This is my first author's note for this story! So for all you guys that have me on your author/story alerts, you would have noticed that I have posted this story called And the Bad Boy Fell in Love. This story is collaboration between my friend that goes by the penname bodenda and myself. Just for the ones of you with intelligent minds in case you suspected I was writing differently every two chapters. XD. Bodenda happens to swear just a tad in her writing so I'm sorry if the language offends anyone. So enjoy Chapter Five! The two of us are on different updating schedules, as bodenda is posting on Wattpad and I am posting on Fanfiction, so sorry if there are any late updates, but we will write future chapters whenever we can!
Chapter 5 – Story Time
'Hey there, Scarlett right?' Damon suddenly appeared out of the blue.
'What are you doing here? Where am I?' I was extremely confused. What was Damon doing here?
'You are in your room, in your house.' Damon smirked showing his sexy little dimples.
'WHAT THE EFFING HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?!' I was furious. How could he just charge into my room without even asking and I know he didn't ask because I would have to be pretty drunk to let him in my house, let alone my room? I was getting more and more confused by the minute.
'Of course I'm here Scarlett. You want me to be here. Don't you even try to deny it,' Damon starts slowly walking towards me. 'You are attracted to me.'
I walk back into a wall and that's when I start to panic. I cough and try to regain my confidence. 'You don't know what you're talking about. Would you please get away from me?' I walk towards him, expecting him to back away. This plan completely backfired on me as I just walked into his very hard, toned chest. His scent wrapped around me and I was strangely aroused by it. I gulped and attempted to stop the buzzing in my head. He smirked down at me, very aware of the effect he was having on me and my body. He took another small step towards me, and then he placed one arm on my left and the other on my waist, locking me in place and ensuring I could not move.
'Scarlett,' his voice was husky and my breathing was getting heavier by the minute, 'look me in the eye and tell me you don't want me to kiss you right now.' I sucked in a breath and leaned forward.
'I…I…Damon, we can't.' He smiled knowing I didn't deny that I wanted to kiss him. He leaned forward and my eyes fluttered closed. His hand cupped my cheek and I felt his breath on my face as he leaned in. His lips brushed mine and I felt a jolt of electricity making me suck in what little air was still separating us. His grin grew and he, finally, leaned in and kissed me. His lips were soft and gentle, lightly pressing on mine. My arms slid up his chest enjoying the shivers he had at my touch. They looped around his neck and as I felt him deepen the kiss, I buried one hand in his hair. He pulled me closer and he bit my lip asking for entrance. I opened my mouth allowing his tongue access to mine. Our tongues fought for dominance and of course his won. As we pulled away for air he left a trail of kisses down my neck. I let out a small moan as he lifted me up and placed me carefully on the bed.
I wake up in a cold sweat, panting and shaking. I wipe away the sweat on my forehead and lie back down on the bed. I try to control my breathing and lightly touch my lips. I still feel the tingling on them from my dream as if he was still kissing me. I feel an aching in my chest that I recognise as disappointment. I have to admit it. I am disappointed that it was only a dream.
Driving to school, the images from last night's dream are still heavily imprinted in my mind. Every time I think about his lips on mine, I feel my body heating up and smiling at the thought of him kissing me. Parking the car I ready myself for another day in the hellhole some people call school. I spot Stefan's beautiful beast of a car and pull up in the parking space next to it. Sadly for me, two blonde heads are standing next to Stefan and Elena. I groan internally and trudge towards the pack knowing that if I don't make an appearance, I will be stalked and grabbed later on in the day. Caroline's perky voice raises above all the sound in the parking lot, or maybe it's just because I'm super aware of her voice and my vampire senses are tingling. No, it's her perkiness. Elena waves me over and I plaster a smile onto my face.
'Hey guys. How's it going?' Caroline grins at me and starts talking about the decade dance coming up. I have to admit, I am kind of looking forward to this dance I mean the 20's were a fabulous time for me. Flapper dresses are my favourite dresses of all time, I just love the way that they sway when you move. For some odd unknown reason I suddenly blurt out to Stefan something I'm not proud of.
'Is Damon coming to the decade dance on Friday?' I blush but cover it up with a cough. They all turn to stare at me and Caroline's face turns evil.
'OMG! I knew it! You like Damon!'
I turn to Caroline and give her my all out death stare that makes her stop smiling.
'Yeah he is coming. He loves the decade dance even though he isn't actually a student. He pretends to chaperone.' Stefan smiles knowingly.
I laugh. 'Isn't it a little lame that an almost 150 year old vampire spends his down time at high school dances when he isn't even participating in high school?' Elena laughs at this as the bell goes and I head off to my classes. I hear Stefan call out to me.
'Hey Scarlett! Can you find me at lunch; I want to ask you something?' I give him a thumbs up and read his mind to check he got that. I really wanna find out what she is and how it is that she knows so much about us.I grin; well I've been here long enough I suppose it's time to reveal the truth. Suddenly I look forward to something on this god forsaken day they call Monday.
Lunch time rolls around and I meet Stefan and 'the gang' in the cafeteria. I see he has chosen a good spot in the corner, just in case any humans accidentally hear what I am about to reveal. This town knew about vampires, werewolves and witches once, we don't need to repeat history. Well, no one is as dumb as Katherine for that to happen. I walk over to their table and sit myself down opposite Stefan.
'So, I'm guessing you all know that Stefan asked me to tell you guys what I am and how I know so much about you guys.' I look over at Stefan's shocked face and I hold my hand up as he is about to speak.
'Everything will be explained. Now let me first tell you what I know. Stefan, Barbie and Damon are all vampires. Stefan and Damon are the Salvatore brothers who were turned in 1864 by one Ms Katherine Pierce also known as Katerina Petrova. Elena here is the doppelganger, same as Katherine was when she was human. Matt is a busboy who is completely human and a victim in this whole sad world. Bonnie Bennett is a witch, a Bennett witch and a relatively powerful one at that. You all know Klaus and I need to ask you some questions about that later. Tyler Lockwood is a vampire. Did I miss anything?'
'Actually, Tyler is a vampire and a werewolf. He's a hybrid.' Caroline adds on. I'm a little stunned at this but, I mean, weirder things have happened. I nod and continue on.
'So you are all curious as to how the hell I know so much about you guys and what the hell am I. Before I tell you anything I need you to answer some questions about Klaus.' I look at them and they all look back at me, waiting for me to say something.
'When was the last time you saw Klaus and why was he here?' Elena looks up at Stefan with questioning eyes and answers my questions.
'Klaus was last here about a few months ago. He was here to kill me and break the hybrid curse. Elijah, his brother, was here as well and he tried to kill him but then he ended up letting him go. Klaus broke the curse and is now a hybrid and before he left he turned Tyler. He found out that you don't need to kill the doppelganger to become a hybrid and so he used my blood to turn Tyler and now he is gone. He daggered Elijah and is now with his sister Rebekah. Does that answer your questions?'
I am shocked. Klaus is a hybrid. This ruins my whole plan. How am I supposed to lure Klaus back here and kill him as revenge if I don't have any leverage? Well, I'm going to have to rethink this whole thing. But first I have to tell these guys everything. I guess they can help and if Elena is the key to creating more hybrids then maybe she can be some use to me after all. I take a deep breath before continuing.
'Ok guys, so here is my story. I am a vampire, werewolf,' I pause as they look somewhat unsurprised, 'and a witch. I know what you are thinking. You can't be a witch and a vampire but you can, if you were born that way. My mother was a witch and my father was…. Well my father is Klaus. My mother disappeared after giving birth to me and I was raised by my grandmother. Klaus seduced my mother and left her before she realised she was pregnant. I want to kill him and avenge my mother. I know about the Salvatore brothers and Katherine because I knew Katherine back when she was still called Katerina. After my grandmother died I was on my own and I moved to Bulgaria searching for Klaus. I met Katerina at a ball there and I also met my father for the first time there. I helped Katherine after she turned and we were the best of friends. That was until she decided to move to America. I stayed with her in Chicago but we separated in New York and she headed here to Mystic Falls. Of course through the vampire grapevine I heard about Stefan and Damon but I didn't go to help Katherine simply because she is a bitch who betrayed me and abandoned me.' I swallowed, not wanting to remember my past.
'Anyway, back on track. I am a witch so I can cast spells and do all that stuff. I was born in 1604 making me now 409 years old. I was looking for my mother with Katherine and I found out that she died not long after I was born from internal bleeding. It turns out she just died, essentially, from delayed childbirth problems. Now, I cannot be killed with a stake, even if you rip my heart out you can't kill me. I am truly immortal and I cannot even be affected by vervain, wolfs bane or witch hazel. Now any questions?' I smile as if I had not just said something completely strange and abnormal, as if I was just talking about my day so far. I look around at the 4 faces gawking at me and slam my palms onto the table.
'Okay so I'll see you guys later then! And just a heads up, if any of you two ladies needs a dress for the decade dance you can come see me, I have some awesome dresses left from the 20's. Bye!' I stand up and wave as I walk out of the cafeteria and out of the school grounds. I feel so free and relieved that I don't realise where I'm walking until I walk straight into someone. I look up, apologies ready to go when I'm met with a pair of pale blue eyes piercing into mine.
Damon.
A/N: Okay, I hope you enjoyed that chapter, also, just a little comment, refreshing my usual reviewers or being completely new to some, that I'm not one of those authors that write a chapter with a cliff hanger and then stubbornly refuse to update before getting 100 million reviews. It's really up to you if you want to leave a review. You can go ahead and brighten my day or you can just go along and enjoy yours. I really don't mind. Just as long as I know that you guys enjoy my writing!
Toodles xxoo
