Chapter one: Blue eyes
Dear Diary,
I have seen the creature, the vampire, but I dare not get too close. Bonnie tells me that she has gotten close for she has to reapply vervain to the chains. She has told me that vervain weakens the vampire, and from what I have seen he does look weak and in pain too. His skin is a chalky white color, which is a shock to his dark hair, and his eyes...they were the most beautiful blue I have ever seen! He also has read angry welts and open wounds all over his body. I have asked Bonnie why that is and she told me it is is because he is being kept weak. I cannot imagine what is being gained from keeping him weak, he does not deserve this at all! Mother tells me I will have to pick a man to marry soon... She has me meeting with a man today; Stefan Salvatore-an Italian man.I cannot tell my mother I would rather be down in the dungeon with the vampire, but that would cause her to worry. I cannot help it, I want to talk with the vampire, and learn about him. What is his name, where is he from? I want to ask all of these questions and more.
-Elena
Elena closed her diary with a sigh. It had been three months since she found out about the vampire, but in those three months she had not been close to the vampire at all. She was a little scared to do so, but something inside of her truly wanted to get close and to even touch the vampire. It was wrong what was being done to him!
"Elena, are you ready to get dressed?"
Elena looked at herself in her mirror, her dark brown hair hung over her exposed breasts, and lightly covered her flat stomach. Her skin was not pale like most women, and her body was also much more curvy than most too, however Elena loved her body and she hated the corset she was forced to wear. The horrid thing took away from her perfect figure and gave her one that was rather imperfect and not flattering to the girl. She pursed her lips lightly as she took her hair and pulled it up, now exposing her breasts fully, and her stomach even more than before. She loved her body, and she made it known, Bonnie had known her since she was a young teenager and so she did not seem to mind as Elena looked herself over in the mirror a while longer before dropping her hair.
"I'm ready."

"Oy, vampire if you are so strong why don't you break 'em chains and bite me!" The drunken guard laughed. He was only inches away from the cell, and before he could blink the vampire hand lunged and bit into his hand, his yelling caused another guard to come and the first showed him his hand. The second grabbed a stake and opened the cell, he staked the vampire right bellow the hear and then walked back to his friend.
"Damn animal, do anythin' for blood." The second man said, as he bend down and spit onto the vampire before standing, he then walked off with his friend, leaving the vampire alone once again.

"Did you hear that the vampire bit a guard." Bonnie told Elena as she brushed her hair. Elena was now dressed in a pale blue dress, that showed off her breasts rather nicely, and her hair hung in lose curly around her shoulders now. Her brows flustered together at Bonnie's words. Did that mean she could not go see the creature later, of course she would have to wait because she was meeting with Stefan Salvatore in a little while. She did not like the idea of it, she did not know the man, but he came from a family that her mother was fond of and believed him to be a good match for her daughter-her only daughter.
"He more than likely deserved it." Elena told Bonnie as she watched her friend place her necklace around her neck. Elena sighed softly, she wished she did not have to meet with Stefan Salvatore, she did not even know him! Her mother had been lucky, she married the man she loved, she was not told to marry someone, but things had changed and because Elena was of age she had to find someone, but she could not have a saw in the matter. Why marry then, she thought to herself as she looked at her reflection, she had always pictured marriage as something wonderful, but now it felt as if it was something horrible.
"Do you not wish to meet with Mr. Salvatore I take it."
"Why do I have to marry someone I do not love, Bonnie. It does not seem fair."
Bonnie bit her bottom lip lightly, she knew to watch what she said because she was in love with Elena's little brother, Jeremy, but they could never be together because he was a prince and she was a simple dress maid, and friend, to Elena. So, Bonnie said nothing. This caused Elena to frown, but she did not say a thing, she just looked at herself in the mirror a while longer. She was young, though old enough to have children, she still had her youth and she did not wish to spend it married yet. She wanted a chance to be free and to have a life all her own.
"I want to fall in love Bonnie."

Dear Diary,
I met with Stefan Salvatore today. I must say he is a good looking, kind, and very serious man, but I do not feel he is the man I should marry. I feel he is like another brother to me than anything else, and I feel maybe he would be a good match for my friend Caroline! Oh, she would love it if I told her about Stefan Salvatore, she has always been talking about finding just the right guy. Stefan Salvatore is that guy! Oh, I cannot wait to tell Bonnie, but first I would like to go and see the vampire. I know I can be careful, I just cannot keep away from him. I feel I am drawn to him...

"Oy, wake up!" The drunken guard yelled as he threw a glass bottle at the vampire, it broke on his head, but the vampire did not stir. The guard began to grow angry and stood up, he walked to the cell and got ready to grab a stake when the vampire turned. His face was dark as his fangs hung out and he laughed at the guard causing him to jump back and drop the stake.
'He's only scared...not to mention weak, and I am sure he is tired too.' Elena thought almost cringing when she heard the glass break.
"Oh, sir! Please help me...someone just tried to grab me!" Elena burst into the dungeon, causing the guard and the vampire to turn and look at her. She could feel the vampires eyes on her as the guard spoke, "I'll go get 'im miss!" The guard then hurried to go after an imaginary man that Elena had made up to get to see the vampire. Once the guard was gone Elena walked towards the cell and knelt down and looked at the vampire as he looked at her. His blue eyes caused her breath to catch in her throat, and her heart to race harder against her chest as she whispered, "What's your name?"
"Damon, now fuck off." The voice was deep, but it held pain and sounded unused.
