Fix Me - Chapter 3

*A/N* So I haven't written any in this story for a while but since it's just begun and still has potential (and a couple reviewers requested more) I guess I will satisfy your cravings (for now :P). Enjoy :) *A/N*

Damon vamped away from the spot he had been standing in. It was all too much. Who did she think she was!? This girl that he had barely met was acting as if she knew him, understood him, she was asking him to confide in her. It was almost as if she thought she could relate. She was telling him he wasn't a monster when all signs pointed to the contrary. How could that be? Earlier tonight he tried to feed on her, bite on her neck and drink until there was nothing left. She saw the veins under his eyes, the hunger in them. How could she not be afraid? She must be desperate or delusional Damon concluded. There was no human in their right mind who was not afraid of him the moment he decided to feed. It was what made it interesting: the power of the kill. He was a predator and they were the prey. It was simple. So why wasn't she afraid?

Damon thought back to when he first discovered the existence of vampires. How the same veins first appeared on the eyes of an angel: Katherine Pierce, the most beautiful girl he had ever met. It wasn't long after he saw her that Damon fell madly in love. She was the light in his world, and he felt himself so drawn to her that when he discovered her secret, it didn't matter. Nothing mattered as long as she was his. The fact that she was a vampire only made him more curious, more loyal. Damon had always cared more, and done more for Katherine than anyone so he couldn't understand why she could possibly be interested in his brother, Stefan who showed less attention and more hesitation. However, the fact that she was not already his made Damon want Katherine even more. He craved her, and would have done anything for her. In fact, she would have still been with him if it wasn't for Stefan's inability to keep anything from their father. Did Stefan not see how much this meant to him? Did he not see the fear in his eyes when Damon told him to keep the secret? Stefan was the reason she was caught, the reason Damon died, the reason he became a vampire.

When Damon promised his brother an eternity of misery, he wasn't acting out of anger. Damon knew exactly what Stefan had cost him: the love of his life and the life that he once knew. Damon's promise ensured that his brother would feel his suffering just as strongly. It was years before Damon discovered that Katherine survived, that she created her own means of escape from the deadly fire. In those years, Damon lost himself. Everything he knew, his family, his love, his future, they were all gone. Afterwards, all Damon had to do with his time was learn all he could about this magical world he was now a part of. Through persistent research, Damon later learned that Katherine was not dead but in fact trapped in a tomb that could only be opened using the magic from a comet. However, this comet, that was used to bind the spell, only came around once every hundred years or so. Damon had waited over a century to be reunited with his one true love. A century he spent imagining the moment when he would open the tomb and see her again. Would she like him as a vampire? Maybe now he would finally be good enough to have her all to himself. After all, HE was the one who searched for her, Damon was the one who would open the tomb to set her free. After this she would finally be his entirely.

With that thought he waved all memories of this Charlotte girl aside. In a month he would return to Mystic Falls, open the tomb and finally become happy. She was nothing compared to Katherine and her attempts to understand him were nothing more than the fantasies of a girl who read too many vampire books. Damon had waited decades. Those decades filled with careful planning for this exact moment, he would not let his girl ruin it.

*A/N* I know some people might find this chapter a bit boring and actionless and that it just reviews that we already know from TVD but I think it's important to show Damon's mindset here and his perspective of things. More interesting chapters to come! Tell me how i'm doing, don't forget to review :) *A/N*
