The looks of my story will be on my polyvore account.
Chapter 2 – The night of the Comet and Friday Night Bites
I walk up as usual at 6:30 with the alarm clock as I get up and put on my workout outfit and I go to the small kitchen to eat my breakfast and I get out of the house to run. From my apartment, who is in the central of town, to the falls it's five miles, which means if I run to there and back with a good time I take 60 minutes since I am with lack of intense training.
Once I return home I drink a glass of water and go taka shower to prepare to open the stdio where I am at 8 o'clock.
I put on my jacket as I live the grill to go to watch the comet I find Jenna talking to some man but I see they seen just friends so I walk to her.
"Night Jenna."
"Hi, Nicky. This is Zach Salvatore. Zach this is Sofia."
"The new woman in town." He tells me with a kind smile.
"Mystic Falls sure is a small town."
"Yes, news tent to pass fast but I am sure you will find it a nice town." He tells me with a smile.
"Well you should probably get you a candle." Jenna tells me and I noticed that I am the only one without one.
"I am fine don't worry."
Once I have my candle and I have no sign of Jenna or anyone I know. Just great.
"You are supposed to ask for a wish." A male voice says and I am confronted with a very attractive man with dark hair and blue eyes. He was so hot. Like seriously hot. The all bad boy vibe but you could see some darkness in him. I was intrigued. Which means that is the type that I should be far way from but it's me we are talking about.
"I don't think lighting a candle and asking for something will make it actually happen."
"You never know until you try." He says leaving and I roll my eyes. Yah right, a wish. Not for me. I don't get to have wishes.
The next day Sofia felt like someone was watching her but she ignore it thinking it was her head playing with her. As the lunch time came she got a call from Elena.
"Hello Elena."
"Hi Sofia, listen, I am inviting Stefan over to dinner and I thought maybe you could come."
"Elena I don't really feel like being the 3rd wheel."
"Oh no… Bonnie is coming too, please, it would be nice for you to meet Stefan."
"Sure Elena."
"I saw Elena today. Btw, that means by the way. She was at cheerleading practice she looked so perky in her little short shorts. But better yet was her sister. Did you know she works in q dance studio, she does. I found her reading Don Quixote. She truly is something I gotta say, she was wearing this nice dress and damn her legs Stefan. Don't worry I didn't go near. I got my own cheerleader now."
I tasted the food as Elena and Bonnie were talking as that moment the bell ringed.
"That must be Stefan." Elena says getting out of the room and Bonnie turned to me.
"She looks happy." I comment.
"Yah, I think she does."
"You're ok Bonnie?" I ask her as I sense that something was going on.
"Yes I am fine. Let's go to the dinner." She says but I didn't need to read her mind to know she wasn't ok.
The dinner was very silent and with a lot of staring on one knew what to say until Elena tired to make conversation.
"Did Tanner give you a hard time today?" God this looked so much like a wife and husband question.
"Well he let me on the team so I must had done something right." Then Elena talked about what happen between Tyler and Stefan this morning at school.
"Yah. I hear." Bonnie says and Elena drinks then I turn to Stefan who is in front of me.
"Patriots what about you?"
"Panthers." He tells me with a little smile and Elena turns to me.
"I thought you prefer Baseball."
"Not all New Yorkers are all jazzed about Baseball. Actually I am more of a basket and football girl." The silence went back again after that.
"Why don't you tell Stefan about your family?" Elena tells Bonnie who does a look that said she doesn't like it.
"Divorced no mom, live with my dad." Funny almost the opposite of me, of course mine had much more complications and backstabbing. Literally backstabbing too.
"No about the witches." Elena says getting a look for all of us. Witches? Seriously that got my interest. Then Elena explains Bonnie family connection with witches.
"I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of Celtic druids that migrated here in the 1800's."
"My family came by way of Salem."
"Really? Salem witches?" I tell her surprised getting also a shocking look from Elena. Could it be?
"Yeah."
"I'd say that's pretty cool." Stefan says.
"Really? Why?"
"Salem witches are heroic examples of individualism and non-conformity." As Stefan says this I smile a bit.
"Pretty badass if you ask me after all they are survivors." I tell her too and Elena looks at me shocked. "I read Elena." I say and the bell rings.
"Wonder who that could be." Elena says getting up and I stay with Bonnie.
"Well I should clean."
"I will help you." She tells me as we both get to the kitchen. "Why didn't knew you knew about witches."
"My grandmother was very into all of this and my father was also a bit curious I guess it just pass to me."
"Do you think it's." She tells me but stops. "Forget it." She probably thinks you're a freak if you asked.
"Maybe is my grandmother influence or my reading obsession but it would be cool don't you think." I tell her as she looked at me confused. "If witches existed."
"Yeah right."
As Bonnie and I enter the living room I saw Caroline and the mysterious blue eye guy. I sure didn't saw that one coming.
"Caroline and Damon brought deserve." Elena says and then looks at me. "Oh this is Sofia. Sofia you already know Caroline, this is Damon Salvatore."
"Salvatore?" I ask looking at Stefan who didn't seem very happy at the moment.
"Stefan's brother." He tells me.
"Half sister." I tell him referring to Elena and I. "Let's get some plated for everyone."
Caroline as all excited about Stefan getting in the team and Damon then said something very interesting.
"You can't just sit there and wait for life to come to you. You have to get it."
"Elena wasn't so lucky today. It's only because you missed summer camp. I don't know how you will ever learn the routine."
"I will work with her." Bonnie says and I try not to get mad at Caroline.
"I guess we can put her on the back." I hear Caroline say. Was she really talking about this right now?
"You don't seem like the cheerleading type." Damon comments. What is for him a cheerleading type? Blonde bimbo who can think for herself. God I am so judgmental sometimes.
"It's just because her parents died. She is just going through a bad face. She used to be way more fun." At this Bonnie and I give her a dirty look. Was she seriously? I almost wanted to punch her. "And I say that with completely sensitivity." really? Because it sure doesn't look like it.
"I am sorry Elena, both of you." Damon says looking at me. "I know what is like to lose both of your parents, in fact Stefan and I have watched almost every single person we ever cared about died." I felt compassion to this. It's not easy to lose someone you love, I knew that very well.
"We don't need to get into that right now Damon." Stefan says and I could feel tension between both brothers but it appears I was the only girl noticing it.
"You know you are right Stefan I am sorry last think I wanted to do is bring her up." He says but for some reason I think he actually didn't want to bring whatever this person was into the conversation.
Elena and I were cleaning in the kitchen when Damon came in.
"One more." He says coming with a glass.
"Thank you…Nice safe." I hear Elena say but I didn't saw what happen because I was cleaning some plates.
"I like you know how to laugh and you make Stefan smile each is something I haven't in a long time." He tells her but looking at me in the begging.
"Earlier today did you mean Katherine?" Elena asks and now I get more details. Yah, Katherine. Oh you two haven't the ex conversation yet. Damn it I need to stop doing this. "How did she die?
"Fire, tragic Fire." The images of a burning house as the screams of a young girl come to me and once I am back to reality I see that I almost broke the plate so I take a deep breath and focus on their conversation.
"Recently?" So this girl must be an ex of Stefan interesting having in count the look on Damon's face.
"Seems like it was yesterday."
"What was she like?"
"She was beautiful, like both of you in that department." At this Caroline calls Elena and telling her she needed her help with something.
"Sorry." She says looking at me.
"Don't worry I will clean the rest." I tell her and Damon volunteers to help me. As I clean I brought the previews topic.
"So besides beautiful?" I ask putting a plate in the wash machine as he gave me a charming smile that I knew not to trust.
"She was very complicated and selfish and in times not very kind but very sexy and seductive."
"So wish one of you dated her first?" I ask giving him a plate and he smirks putting it on the machine.
"Nicely deduced. Ask Stefan and I sure is answer is different from mine." He says and at that time Elena comes in and I left the two of them alone as they were talking about her quitting cheerleading and go for some fresh hair.
The night coldness helped me call my nerves and when I enter the room again I could feel Damon and Stefan were having a heated conversation.
"Well it was a nice dinner but I have to go." I tell them.
"You don't leave here?" Damon asks.
"No." I tell him offering both a smile as I leave.
I meet Elena as we both were attending to the football game and I saw her wearing normal clothes.
"Did Caroline kicked you out?" I ask joking, remembering the conversation last night.
"No, I gave up, it wasn't just me anymore."
"Well, we all change." I say as we both walk to the bleaches.
"I think your right."
"Elena, take the amount of time you need." I tell her and she looks at me confused. "There is no time for grieve to end."
"Are you still grieving because of him?" She says and it is like someone just hit me. She must had got my sadness because I could see regret on her eyes. "I am sorry I shouldn't bring it up."
"It's fine, Lena, like a say there is not time to stop grieving."
"How can you walk in those?" she says chancing the subject and pointing to my shoes.
"Lots of practice." I tell her and I see Stefan appearing and Elena smiling. "Go meet him, I will go explored."
I was walking to find a place to sit when I bump into someone I look up to see Damon.
"Came to the game?" I ask him.
"Of course who do you think teach my brother how to play?" He says with his smirk and I had to confess he is very hot. Too hot and too dark. He hides something which is not good. He was also a player I could see it. The last time you thought this you knew what happened. "What about you came to see if the cheerleaders are better then when you were on the team?"
"I am not from here and I wasn't a cheerleading." I tell him. I didn't have the most normal life which I don't really need to think about it right now.
"You're ok?" He asks me and I swear I could see some concern. I could just… no stop, you are not doing it.
"Sure...hum. I have to go. I see you around." I tell him as I leave.
My body touched the bed as my lips were in his shoulders and my hands on his chest as he took off my shirt moving his lips to my neck as I moan. My hands travel to his pants but once he found the spot on my neck and his hands were on my breasts my face felt back on the pillow was did my arms.
The sound of the phone brings me back to reality as I put the book who was on my lap on the table and get my phone from my shorts. I opened it and I see a text from Elena.
Can you come here? Tanner was found death.
I knocked the door and I see Elena opening it.
"Are you ok?" I ask her immediately.
"Yes just a bit frighten, do you mind to stay here?"
"No, I will of course."
I thought there was hope. That somewhere deep inside, something in Damon was still human, normal.
Damon observes a sleeping Sofia as she lies next to Elena and he touches her cheek softly not waiting to wake her but she starts to move so he leaves.
But I was wrong. There's nothing human left in Damon. No good, no kindness, no love. Only a monster... who must be stopped.
