Damon's POV:
I smiled and then pulled her neck to my lips, kissing it tenderly, she let out a slow moan of pleasure. Soon enough though the kiss weren't enough for me, I pulled my head from her neck and looked at her face, aware that now my eyes were black and my fangs bared. She looked up at me and smiled touching the area under my eye where the black veins now stood out. I grabbed both her arms and pinned them to the bed, with one last kiss I let my hunger take over. The blood warmed me, made me feel brighter and stronger, it was soooo much better then the blood bags, and hey yeah every recovering addict slips up now and then don't they?
I laughed again, why had I been comparing myself to an addict? Addicts cant stop even if they want to, with her, she was nothing I could stop if I wanted but I didn't want to I am so sick and tired of trying to be the good guy! And who was this girl whose blood I now had inside me? I don't fully remember a name... Emma? Emily? Eva? Nothing mattered but the taste of her fresh blood and the the fact id given up being the good guy for Elena, if she wanted me she would get me! In all my glory.
Emma I think it was, now let out soft moans of pain, I had almost drained her. My instinct told me to finish her off, but even if I wasn't going to play the good guy anymore I couldn't kill her. Elena or no Elena I still missed my humanity, I'm mean if you told be 10 years ago that I would miss my humanity, love a human and NOT want to kill, well I would have told you that you were crazy and snapped you neck right then and there.
I pulled myself away from Emma laying her back on the bed, sat up and looked into her eyes...
"Now Emma, we are not going to tell anybody about what happened here tonight. You got a little too drunk at the bar and came back to your hotel room. Your feeling sick...infact You want to stay in bed all day tomorrow and then you'll be as right as rain. Got it? Now sleep"
Emma's eyes closed and she went to sleep.
I started to walk back to the boarding house, I was still hungry but right now all I wanted to do was go to bed and sleep this day off.
I walked slowly to give myself a chance to think, there was no one around now, it must be, what...three In the morning?
I stopped in my tracks. The smell of fresh blood filled the air pulling at the hunger inside my stomachs. Following the scent I walked down a dark wet alley and there lying on the floor was the petite body of a young girl, sixteen-ish? Maybe seventeen? Her long mousy blonde hair spread out on the floor, her pale blue dress clung to her soaked in her own blood which was flowing from a wound at her neck.
Someone had bit her, another vampire but the only vampires left in mystic falls were me, Stephan and Caroline? Non of us drank from humans (well except for the odd slip up by me) and definitely none of us would leave her to die.
She lay motionless on her back with her hands lying palms up to protect her face. I don't know what it was or why but something inside me told me I needed to protect this girl. Sometime stirred inside me, like some naturally reaction taking over my body. I crouched down to look at this girl, she was still breathing but barely and her pulse was slow. Whatever I was feeling and hell I don't have a clue why I was feeling this, made me pick this girl up and cradle her in my arms, without thinking about it my instinct was to give this girl my blood, her pulse was getting slower and time was running out. I tore a small wound in my wrist and placed it to her mouth, she quite slowly opened it and barely parted her lips but began to drink. I stood and watched her as her pulse gained and her breathing started again, something inside told me that I needed this girl like she was the long awaited answer to a question I'd been asking even if I didn't know what it was she could still be helpful, I mean she could tell us who attacked her so if there's another vampire town we can kill them before the cause another disturbance.
The girl opened her eyes and looked at me, I move my arm away from her mouth and used it to carry her. Her eyes were opened big and bright staring right at me without a word. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of bluely green but what really got me was I felt like I had seen those eyes before somewhere?
" what your name sweetheart?" I said looking at how frightened she looked, she said nothing but continue to stare at me " my names Damon Salvatore, I found you and I'm here to help"
At those last words her eyes began to tear up, she parted her lips and spoke softly " help me...please Help me Damon, I need you" with what little energy she had she flung her arms around me and buried her head in my neck.
I walked slowly as she sobbed softly into my neck, I had almost reached the boarding house when the siding had stopped and was replaced by slow even breaths. She had fallen asleep in my arms.
I reached the door, opened it and stepped inside, walking over to the couch I lay her down on her back and put some more logs on the fire to keep her warm.
I turned around and saw Stephan and Elena walk in from the kitchen.
"Damon..." Said Elena looking worryingly at the girl on the couch "what have you done? What happened" she moved closer and knelt by the head of the sleeping girl.
"oh I like this! What have you done Damon? Could it possibly be that I save this girl? No! It just Damon he creates more trouble then he save!" I grinned sarcastically at both Elena and my brother who was now looking over the back of the couch at the girls sleeping face.
"you know that's not what I meant Damon! But what happened? Why is she here?" she said looking down at the girl on the sofa with a look of sadness in her eyes.
"yes Damon I think we would both like to know the answer to that one" said Stephan his eyes never left the girl.
"somebody almost drained her dry today Stephan! I found her lying close to death in an alley and without me she would be dead and there would be know way to know if there was a vampire on the loose. Do you want to thank me now or later?" I said sarcastically again, for goodness sakes no one had any faith in me.
"do you really care?" said Stephan dryly.
"ouch Stephan, I'm hurt that you both don't think my non beating heart is big enough to care" I said in mock sadness
"Damon? Stephan? What that on her wrist?" Elena said picking up the girls wrist as if it were fragile and about to break " look at it, right there it looks like a-"
"A moon... A crescent moon" I said moving closer to inspect her wrist at those words that Stephan said.
Both me and Stephen were now looking at the girls wrist and there as clear as day was the shape of a crescent moon. It was the colour of a pale brown shadow, almost not there at all in this dim light but very destined against this girls pale skin.
"poor girl" said Elena a tear trailing down her cheek, " she looks so, fragile, maybe even malnourished, I wonder how she been living, she doesn't look like she eaten anything in days!" she said holding the girls hand and stroking her hair.
Elena was right, even now after the girl had taken my blood she looked pale and weak and... Well helpless!
But there was something about the crescent moon on her wrist that seemed to hold so much power and well it may sound strange but I'd seen it before, just like her eyes there was something familiar pulling at me. I something clicked, id read about the crescent moon, seen those eyes in the picture of a book, somehow this girl reminded me of something in one of my books!
I owned hundreds of book, but somewhere in one of the holds the key to why I feel the need to protect this girl! And more strongly enough why I feel something bigger about to happen!
Elena let out a small gasp, the girl add open her eyes a fraction and was looking estate at Elena
" hello there my names Elena, don't be afraid we are here to help you" she said squeezing the girls hand "whats your name?"
the girls eyes drooped, she looked extremely tired, her eyes closed but before she was fully asleep she let her name with a quiet sigh...
"Amelia" and with that she was asleep once more.
