Damon Salvatore was a lot of things: charming, handsome, snarky. A strong vampire, but a man Easily beaten?
The answer to that last question, was no.
But Damon was also intrigued bye beautiful and/or powerful things, and he was determined to figure out his new obsession that is Elena Gilbert. but let's backtrack to the beggining first shell wee.
So Damon had returned home to torment his brother Stefan, and okay yes to also see a glimpse of the reincarnation of Katherine Pierce, the bitch who had turned both Damon and Stefan into vampires 145 years ago in this same exact town.
But the other night while Damon was out hunting, he had been enjoying the prey he has chosen: a very drunk and Slightly Stupid brunette, when he sensed something in abandoned his food in order to observe the presence.
he was too far away and to fast to spot, he shouldn't have been noticed, but the figure had somehow noticed him and Damon was slung against a tree, hard.
It was only while he was retreating that he got a somewhat decent look at the person's face.
The person, who he found out later that her name was Elena Gilbert, was the reincarnation of Katherine, but it still did not tell him how she was able to push him so hard.
So after that little incident, he went to go visit his brother to get some much needed answers...
He had sent the raven that he had mine-fuckd into his brothers room at the old Salvatore boarding house, where they had lived so many years ago, to make sure he was home before entering they same way as the raven.
" Hello brother mine." he said as the Raven called behind them.
"What are you doing here, Damon?" Stefan asked.
"How could I miss your first day of school? what kind of big brother would I be if I missed such an important day?" He said as he walked around, touching things in the room and moving things around well Stephan just glared at him.
"You know you should not be here." Stefan said, but Damon just fiddle with a slinky, ignoring him for the most part.
"And you know that you left a girl alive tonight to." Stephan stated again. That caught the older Salvator's attention, " yes that... girl." he simply said well putting down the slinky and ran at vampire speed over to the cabinet where his brother kept all of his many upon many Diaries, *cough, cough*, sorry, he meant journals.
"She was breathtaking right, that Elena girl." He said well circling Stefan with one of his brothers journals in his hand. "But you know what really caught my attention- well, I mean besides her obvious Beauty- Is that somehow she created a gust of wind that knocked me several feet back and into a tree." He then stopped in front of his brother, forcibly shoving the book into his hands. "Now, what do you make of that?"
Stephan just stood there, now clutching his journal while giving his brother a strange look. was Damon just trying to fuck with him?
"I-" he tried to say, but Damon was already gone.
The next day, Elena felt tired but happy as she got dressed and discussed her ant's upcoming parent-teacher conference in regards to Jeremy, which made her sigh a bit to hear that they were having one only a week into school.
Elena looked into the living room and kitchen as she went through this discussion.
"Where is Jeremy anyway?" she asked. Her aunt, who was fixing her hair, hummed at the question and said; " he said he was going to see if he could check on that Donovan girl before going to school."
Elena frowned at that as she finished Gathering up her stuff and took a bite of the Apple that she had picked up from the bowl and left for school.
Jeremy Gilbert stood just inside of Vicki Donovan's hospital room. He came in the earlier hours of the morning as he couldn't sleep the night before because of thoughts and visions similar to the ones he had had after he broke up Tyler and Vicki last night had flashed through his head once again, spooking him out of sleep the whole night and compelling him to go see Vicky.
Jeremy then sensed somebody coming up behind him and slightly turned his head, but thankfully it was only a nurse.
"Oh, you can't be in here honey." she said well walking past him to check out the monitors." visiting hours don't start until 9."
He swallowed nervously as her answered. "I know miss... I just, I mean, how is she? is she going to be okay? Please, I have to know" he begged slightly.
The nurse looked up from her chart and pursed her lips, feeling sympathetic to the poor boy. " I can't say much i'm afraid, but what I can say is that she's lost a lot of blood, probably from some kind of animal attack, but aside from that I don't know anything else, i'm truly sorry." she finally said before starting to leave the room, but then stopped a few seconds and said over her shoulder. "She just need rest, after that she will be fine." then she left, leaving Jeremy standing alone in the hospital room next to Vicky.
Meanwhile back at the high school, Elena was in history class, half listening to Mr Turner as usual, well the other half of her attention was used glancing around the room, she caught Stefan's eye, but quickly turned away to face back at the front of the room.
After classes, when she stepped out she didn't get to as as she was stopped by Stefan.
"High." he said, making Elena shuffle to the side slightly and clutch her books tighter to her chest.
They stood there for a few minutes before Elena was slightly pushed by another student, who was trying to exit the doorway of the classroom that Elena was still standing in. she then gave Stefan a small smile and quickly walked away.
When she got out of the school doors and outside into the fresh air, she took in inhale of breath, enjoying the freshness it brough her after so long stuck in that stuffy classroom.
" Elena, hey." Elena snapped out of her nice moment and looked to the right, seeing Matt coming up to her.
"Hey Matt, heard anything more on Vicky?" She asked him as they started walking across the courtyard.
" yeah actually, the doctor said they're keeping her one more night just to make sure there's no infection." he said well smiling.
meanwhile, across the courtyard, a certain Moody vampire was listening in.
"Do they know what it was that attacked her?" the vampire heard Elena asked.
Matt blinked as he thought back to the previous night...
(Flashback)
beep.. beep... beep...
Matt Donovan sat in the sort of uncomfortable chair in the hospital room that his sister Vicki was in. he sat there, wondering how their night went from laughs to blood, strong disinfectant and bright white lights. he was also thinking about the fact that their mother, he rolled his eyes at the thought, was on a beach somewhere with her new boy toy, while her two teenage children were at home alone, and currently sitting in a hospital room, one unconscious well the other was sitting next to her, worried out of his mind.
The blonde 17 year old was pulled from his thoughts when he heard his sister grown and she turned her head towards him. He jumped up from the chair and stood by her side.
"Hey Vick," he said quietly. "How are you?"
she blinks sleepily due to the medication they were giving her, then looked up at him. " sore.." she whispered.
" But what..." she started to say, but then she started coughing very hard and Matt quickly got her some water. after she had took in a few sips, Matt answered her partly asked question.
"Something in the woods attacked you sis. but Elena found you and called the ambulance to come get you..." Matt was cut off as Vicki gasp and shot up, Breathing heavily. he tried to calm her down.
"Elena... Elena's eyes, her- her eyes they were- they were gold, gold Mattie. and she did something strange... windsome.. when..."
Matt smiled at hearing his nickname come from his sister's mouth, but could not understand what Vicky was saying. Then she started to drift back off to sleep and Matt started to back away from the bed, but then she shot back up again, this time grasping at her neck where the bandages were and tried to rip them off, but he quickly grabbed her hands and pulled them back down gently from her neck. soothing her.
"Hey, hey it's okay calm down, shh,shh. it's okay, you're okay." he said. A few minutes after that, Vicky slumped, tired from the struggle, but her lips were moving somewhat and leaning in closer.
"What is it Vicki? you can tell me."
Vicki took some quick sharp breaths before releasing them and saying one sentence before passing back out.
"Vampire Mattie, it was a vampire that attacked me and Elena's eyes glowed gold."
(End Flashback)
Matt shook his head and blank as he came back from his thoughts, turning to Elena and looking into her brown eyes.
"She said a vampire attacked her."
