Alexandra looked at everybody at the room. She could tell that everybody felt sorry for her. But the last thing she needed was somebody to feel sorry for her. She gathered herself up and walked to the couch. Nobody intended to speak, so she sat on the couch and then...

-Get up from the couch.

-Excuse me?

-I said get up from the couch, princess.

-Why should I? - Alexandra looked Damon straight in his eyes. These eyes sparkled something inside her. And the worst part was that her instincts were telling her to run. But Alexandra didn't listen to them. She perfectly knew that she was running out of time, she knew that she had about a month. However, she was ready to play one last game, a dangerous one. And she found her partner in that game – Damon Salvatore.

-Don't play with me, Alexandra. I said get up from the couch.

-Why? - She started to enjoy it. But Alexandra could tell that Damon was enjoying this too.

-You are all in dirt and in blood. So get up and go have a shower.

-No...

-No?

-No...

There was it. Before Alexandra could blink, Damon took her in his hands and ran in super speed to the bathroom in his bedroom.

-Bastard! GET YOUR HANDS OF ME!

She was screaming like hell. God she was angry. She started to fight. Alexandra punched Damon's nose so hard that she dislocated her wrist.

-Feisty, I like that...- And he turned the water on. Of course Alexandra needed a shower, but she wouldn't give up so easily. She pushed herself towards Damon, who pushed her under the shower. But she didn't let him go, so he was under the shower with her.

-A dream come true...Having a shower with the most wanted girl in Mystic Falls. Let's make it interesting...

Alexandra leaned closer to Damon and smiled deviously.

-Only in your dreams, Damon. Only in your dreams...- she whispered to him and pushed him away.

-What was that? – asked Bonnie confused.

-Don't have an idea...- said Elena.

-Guys, we are in trouble...- said Stefan.

-In what?

-Damon likes her.

Damon looked at the girl in front of him. Damn she was beautiful. She was angry and that way she looked even more gorgeous. She was dirty and wet, but her face was telling that she was ready for an adventures. The best part was that he was ready for adventures to. Alexandra was standing under the shower, waiting for him to do something. Her wrist was hurting like hell, but she didn't pay attention to the pain. She was looking at the man, when it hit her out of the blue. She wanted him, at this moment. She wanted him to take her in his arms and make her forget about everything. But that was impossible.

Damon looked at her. Nobody was winning this competition. He knew that she wouldn't say or do anything. So he gave up. Damon moved towards her. He heard that her heart was pumping up. Alexandra started to breathe faster and faster. He touched her wrist very gentle.

-You dislocated your wrist. –He whispered to her. - And the towels are on the first shelf, Elena will give you some of her clothes.

And he left her there, standing under the water and humiliated. Alexandra was angry with herself. She couldn't believe that she had put all her charms and Damon didn't buy it. Usually Alexandra was the one who was running the situation. But for a very first time she felt that she wasn't in charge. Alexandra started to remove her clothes when she felt the pain. She still couldn't understand how she dislocated her wrist by hitting Damon. He was strong, but Alexandra was sneakier. And she knew that their little game would be played by her rules.

-Where is Alex? – asked Caroline.

Damon looked at the blonde vampire, he was tired from giving explanations. It wasn't his style.

-Having a shower. – Damon walked to the coffee table and poured himself a glass of whiskey.

-Well, I think it is time for us to leave. – said Bonnie to Jeremy.

-Yeah...

-Caroline, Taylor are you coming?

-Yes, Bonnie we are. – said the werewolf.

-Elena, if something goes wrong call me...- said the vampire to her friend.

-I will...- Elena perfectly knew that it was a code phrase. Elena had to question Alexandra about what happened in the bathroom with Damon. Elena and Caroline, especially Caroline, knew what Damon was capable of. But Elena was worried because she knew what Alexandra was capable of. She knew everything about Alexandra's little games. But if Damon was involved into one of her games, then the thing would get bloody and out of control. Damon and Alexandra would be a disaster.

-Guy, I will prepare some of my clothes for Alexandra. She is taller than me and it will be a difficult task for me. I'd better be starting.

Stefan waited for Elena to disappear from sight. He made sure, that she wouldn't hear anything.

-What was that fiasco all about, Damon?

-I don't know what you are talking about...

-You are not stupid Damon. The show you put with Alexandra was...grandiose. I should say that it was beyond every dumb thing you've done in your life.

-She was dirty and all the dirt was on the couch. You know everything in this house is antique.

-As we are Damon.

Damon got up from the couch and faced his brother.

-Well I am still the best looking antique, little brother.

-Where are you going to, Damon?

-To prepare a room for the princess, who is going to make my...our lives a living hell.

-Damon, she is not that bad...

-Keep saying that little bro. Because this girl is not as sweet as Elena.

-What do you mean?

-I mean that nobody can handle her...She will not follow orders and she will do what is on her mind.

Alexandra walked from the bathroom. She was feeling good after the shower. The only thing that was disturbing her was the pain in her wrist. She had to ask Elena for painkillers. She walked to Damon's closet when she saw her reflection in the mirror. She looked as mermaid with her long blonde and wet colour. But there was something in her reflection that made her look dangerous. Alexandra couldn't understand why. She couldn't recall what exactly happened tonight. The only thing she knew was that Damon was the one, who had found her.

-You are going to freeze. – A silky voice said somewhere behind her. Somehow she knew to whom belonged the voice. She even didn't bother to turn around. She swore that this time she would keep it cool.

-Well, it is none of your business...

-Alex, there are you wrong. I want my guests to feel comfortable. – Damon said moving slowly towards her.

-I am not you guest, Damon. In fact I am going home...

He touched her shoulder. But she didn't move, somehow it felt right.

-You are not going anywhere, Alexandra, you are not strong enough. And Elena is looking for clothes that you can borrow.

-Is it me or you sound concerned?

-No it is just you, I just don't want another corpse in my house.

The both of them smiled. Alexandra kept staring at their reflection. They looked as they were perfect for each other. She was about to turn around when, Elena came.

-Alex, are you...Am I interrupting something?

-No, I am ready. Let's go I am freezing...- the blonde smiled to her dark-haired friend. As the both girls were leaving the room, Alexandra turned her head towards Damon and smirked. Then she disappeared through the door.

Damon found himself starring at the door, where was Alexandra few seconds ago. Somehow he knew that this girl was going to give him hard time. But he was Damon Salvatore and he loved challenges and adventures. He smiled deviously, because he knew that Alexandra Redfern was a challenge and an adventure.
