A Black Magic Rose
Prologue: Damon's POV
I was just getting ready to down another glass of scotch when there was a knock at the door. Now, who could that be, it better not be Elena's Uncle. I swear I will take the ring off and kill him, for good. If it's Anna, I'll rip her little head off before she can blink , even if she's a couple centuries older than me , I'm really not in the mood for Pearl this Pearl that. So, that leaves my favorite human.
"Why hello Elena "I said with a smirk. She looked nervous. "What can I do for you this fine day? I'm just a barrel of favors." I said just to annoy her.
"I'm just here to speak to Stefan." She said
ahh yes , the wind beneath her wings ,the favorite brother, the one everyone picks.
"I'll see if St. Stefan is in his room, have a seat."I said pointing to the chair next to the fire place.
I was upstairs before she could blink. Stefan was in his room reading and sulking, as usual. About 5 seconds later, I appeared in front of Elena, causing her to jump.
"He's brooding in his room as usual, go on up. I really don't get what you see in him, he's soooo boring." I watched her roll her eyes as she walked part way up the stairs and I appeared at the bottom. "By the way, Elena, Tell Stefan I'll be out something stronger than bunnies." I stated smiling as she solemnly nodded and went up the stairs slowly.
I listened and heard her say "Stefan" and the reply was "You have something to tell me?" Uh Oh, looks like there's trouble in paradise. Maybe I should stay, this should be entertaining. Buuuutttt, on the other hand, some drunken blonde girl waits .yum, dinner! So, I sped out of the house and to the Mystic Grill.
When I returned though, I found that Stefan wasn't there, probably out eating puppies……or not. I threw my leather jacket on the chair and went up to my bedroom. I saw a very familiar locket on top of a piece of paper.
Damon, it started. ….. Don't try to find me it isn't worth looking……
No, she's gone; I thought as for the first time in over a century, a tear went down my cheek.
