I DON'T OWN ANYTHING.
He was looking at me now narrowing those blue eyes at me. I gulped, I was actually scared of him. Then his eyes moved up to Mason and his eyes turned darker, as if he was mad. He then sighed, took a hold of Masons jacket and pushed him out of the way. By now my eyes were wide and scared. Did he know that I was Jeremys sister? Was he going to hurt me or worse kill me? He was looking at me now. Up and down, it actually looked like he was checking me out. Then he looked back at my face and smirked. ''Hey princess, you doing alright?'' He asked me in a husky voice. Even his voice scared the life out of me. I looked at Mason standing a few meters away from us. I noticed that Caroline had disappeared. Maybe she went to get Jeremy, god I hope she went to get Jere. ''don't mind him princess, now how about you come with me and we can have some real fun.'' He said. Real fun? Was he for real, he just pushed Mason and now he wants me to have ''fun'' with him. God is he a jerk or what.'' I don't know who you think you are, but I'm not like those girls you usually have ''fun'' with. And frankly you have to work on your pick-up lines a bit more.'' I said. I thought it was a smart thing to do. Push him away because he was walking around thinking that he was god's gift to women. Which he probably was, but I wasn't going to let him know that. I was using his smirk against him. That is until his face went from angry to cocky and he started smirking again. This is creepy, why is he smirking. ''You're a feisty one aren't you. Don't worry princess if I wanted you right now I would have had you. But I have things to do, maybe in the future you'll find yourself having ''fun'' with me.'' He said. My god I wanted to kill him, I've only talked to him for like 2 minutes and I already want to kill him. How could these people around him be friends with him? I was just about to replay when someone pushed me to stand in front of me. ''Whatever you do Damon, I suggest you stay away from her, do you understand that? Don't. Touch. Her.'' I heard Jeremy saying. Damon, so that was his name. Wait a minute. How come Jeremy knows his name? Is Jeremy here to fight with Damon, and even if he is it means that he knows Damon from before since he knows his name. Damon is looking at me and Jeremy. I noticed that all the guys including Caroline and the girls were now standing beside us. ''Calm down Jeremy, I'm not going to hurt her. Maybe I even like her, is that going to be problem for you? Is she your girl Jere, you scared that she will pick me over you?'' God this guy deserved all the pain that Jeremy and the boys would put on him. ''I'm not his girlfriend!'' I said rather loudly now being annoyed and sick of him. He was looking at me with his wide blue eyes now, waiting for me to finish. ''Worse actually, I'm family.'' I said. Even he must understand that family is more important than a girlfriend or boyfriend. Because a girlfriend or boyfriend could easily betray one another but family is forever. Family is your own flesh and blood. You never back down if it's about family. Jeremy and Damon were looking straight at each other. Their looks were so scary that even Jeremy was scaring me now. Was he going to fight? He wouldn't do that in front of all these children, would he? I saw Damon bravely taking a step towards Jeremy. I'm shocked, not anyone dares to do that to Jeremy, or so I thought. He's either very strong or very stupid to step up to Jere like that. God I hope he's just stupid. Should I do something? I can't stop Damon but that doesn't mean that I can't stop Jeremy. ''Jeremy please not here there are children here, please Jeremy. The parents will report it to the cops if you fight here. Just walk away and let's go home.'' I said trying to calm him down. It was a hard job because he was really tense. I have never seen him like this, he must really hate Damon. Damon was now watching me with curiosity in his eyes. He then grinned at me and backed off. Damon backed off! Why did he just do that? ''What's wrong Damon, not so brave now are you. You scared that I will beat you?'' Jeremy said, why is he saying these things and making it worse. Damon backed off that's Jeremys chance to just let it go but no he had to sink to that level. ''I'm not scared and you know it Jeremy, and frankly I don't care about the children and people watching us. But I wouldn't want to fight in front of a beautiful girl now would I?'' He said, he was talking to Jeremy but he was looking straight at me. Was I the girl he was talking about? Wouldn't that make Jere even crazier? Maybe that was what he wanted, for Jeremy to get mad. Before Jeremy had time to react I took his hand and led him away from them. ''Oh and princess don't worry you will be mine.'' He screamed after us. I just kept walking in the direction of the house ignoring him. Everyone was walking with us no one dared to say a word. Everybody was scared of how Jeremy might react and maybe they were right to be scared.
Once we arrived at the house we all sat down in ''the family room.'' Even though it was Jeremys place he doesn't live here he lives with us, at home. The family room had chairs, sofas, a carpet, a table and a TV. I was sitting on one of the chairs, scared to open my mouth. Would Jeremy be mad at me for being there? For catching Damons interest? Or for pulling him away from a fight. I noticed that Mason was looking at me from where he was sitting. Was he also mad at me? The long silence was broken by Mason. ''Do you know him Elena?'' he asked. What? Why would he ask me that? What does he even mean by that? ''What the hell does that mean, of course I don't know him!'' I said, or rather screamed. By now everybody were staring at me. Did they also think that I knew Damon somehow? Why would they even think that? ''Because Elena you and him seemed to be pretty friendly.'' Mason said while glaring at me. Not that I know Damon because I don't but it has nothing to do with Mason so why was he being a jerk? ''It seemed to me Mason that he is friendly to all girls, and frankly I don't see what this has got to do with you.'' I said. I hoped this would shut him up. I mean I really liked Mason before this, why was he judging me all of a sudden? Everyone was quiet, just sitting there and watching me and Mason. He was just about to say something when Jeremy started talking. ''that's enough, it's over. Everybody has to go home now, we'll deal with Damon and the others some other day.'' Jeremy said. He got up and went out the door, he trusts everyone that are in this house. Almost everybody has a key to this place. Jere wanted them to have it in case they would need a place to stay at in the future. I should also go home, I got up from the chair but I didn't get to long because Mason was standing in front of me. ''Hey, I'm sorry for being a jerk. It's just that I really care about you and I was worried about Damon because he's not a good guy and I don't want you to have anything to do with him.'' He said. That is actually really sweet, that he cares about me and wants to protect me. But I can't help but wonder what it is he wants to protect me from. ''It's okay, and I'm happy that you care enough to protect me. But what is it you so badly want to protect me from?'' I asked. I hope he tells me the truth. What is it with this Damon guy that makes everybody in this room hate him? ''He's bad news Lena, you know how we fight and stuff. Well he takes that to a whole other level. We're scared that our parents will find out about all of this someday. But he's not scared of that, his father knows what he does. His father used to do it as a kid and he wanted his sons to be just like him. Damons uncle Zach didn't want to do it. He was too much of a good guy, but then came Damon and he loved it Elena. He has killed people you know, nobody knows why but we think it's because he likes it, and it looks like his little brother Stefan is walking in the same direction as his uncle Zach. Stay away from him Elena, promise me you'll stay away.'' This was a lot to take in. This Damon guy sounds just as much broken as he sounds bad. The fact that he's killed people scares me. Will he kill me just because I was mean to him? Or worse would he kill Jeremy, because they obviously hate each other. Maybe I should stay away from him. ''I'll stay away from him, I promise. But I have to go home now, thank you for wanting to protect me and thank you for telling me.'' I said. Mason leaned in and gave me a tight hug before he let me go home. While walking to my house I couldn't stop thinking about Damon and all of the things I found out about him. Why was he the way he was, there has to be more to it. Like if his uncle Zach didn't want to be involved in this stuff wouldn't he also tell Damon not to get involved. Better yet why does he keep Stefan out of it, I mean of course it's good that he isn't involved in on all of this. But then why is Damon? I was finally home, I walked in to the house to see my mom, dad and Margaret watching Cinderella. God I forgot that I was going to watch a movie with her, I feel so bad. ''It's okey baby, me and daddy watched it with her, but make sure you keep your promise next time.'' Mom said as she saw the sad look on my face. ''Yeah right, I'm gonna go to bed love you.'' I said and went to kiss my mom, dad and Margaret on their cheeks. I went upstairs to my bedroom. I got out of my shoes, jacket and the rest of my clothes. I grabbed a towel and made my way to the bathroom.
When I came out of the shower I noticed that the balcony door in my room was open. Was it open when I got home? It couldn't have been, I mean I didn't get cold while taking my clothes off. Then I noticed something on my nightstand. Walking over to it I saw that it was a blood red rose and under the rose there was a letter. Picking up the letter I opened it and started to read it…
Hi princess
Hope you got home safe. This thing between us is far from over. I hope you liked the rose, I'll be seeing you. P.S you looked really good while taking your clothes off.
D.S
Omg! Was he kidding me! He was in my house, in my room. Was he gone now or was he still there. He had seen me taking my clothes off, oh god! I took my clothes with me to the bathroom and changed, just in case he was anywhere near me. I got out of the bathroom and closed the balcony door. Walking over to my dresser to blow dry my hair, when I was done I got in bed, but I couldn't sleep that night. The thought of him being here scared me and kept me up all night.
AN:tell me what you think.
