Mila :)

Alexandra was angry with herself again. For a second time she felt that she wasn't in control and the worst part was that Damon was in control. But sooner or later she knew that she will gain back her control. But right now she had to think of a way to mask these marks.

"You are looking better than you had last night." Stefan said to her. Elena was definitely a lucky girl for having such a nice and caring boyfriend. They were the perfect couple.

"Thank you, Stefan. I really feel better this morning. And Elena thank you for the clothes."Alexandra smiled to the brunette.

"You are welcome, Alex."

"Good morning everyone." Alexandra turned to see no one but Damon Salvatore standing behind her. "What about I make you a pizza for breakfast?" he smirked to Alexandra. She knew where he was heading. But she could make their little game even more dangerous.

"So, you are a cook, what a surprise!" Alexandra said while putting her hair in a pony tail.

"Well I am full of surprises, but tell me princess who is not?" She was ready to answer him something venomously, when Stefan asked her.

"Alexandra what is that on your neck?" Elena looked at her worryingly. And Damon, well, he was in a stair fight with her. Alexandra didn't answer right away, she wanted to tease Damon.

"Maybe some bush scratched me, I don't remember clearly." The bite on her neck really looked as a scratch. Damon smirked, Stefan bought it, but then Elena decided to step in.

"I didn't see it last night..." Alexandra interrupted her before she could finish.

"It was dark Elena, my hair was loosen up and wet. Maybe that is why you haven't seen it"

"I am pretty sure that it wasn't there last night." She wasn't giving up without a fight. Damon looked at Alexandra, there was something strange about this girl, and she could tell Elena and Saint Stefan the truth about the mark on her neck. She could tell that Damon was the bad guy, who attacked her and persuaded her to give her blood. She could perfectly play the damsel in distress. But she didn't.

"I was there, Elena, why I would lie to you?"

"Yeah you are right..."the brunette finally gave up.

"So I am still making your breakfast, ladies?"

"Damon, what is gotten into you?"

"Nothing little brother, these girls for difference from us has to eat some food." Damon smirked to his brother. "You can make yourself useful by helping me, at least I am cooking for your girlfriend too."

"Guys, there is no need. Damon, are you planning to poison us?" asked Elena confused. She has been dating Stefan for a year and half and Damon had never made breakfast to anyone or her. And the guy claimed to love her. There was something weird going on. And she knew that her green-eyed friend had something with it. She knew to wait for troubles, because Elena felt that Damon and Alexandra started some sick game of their own.

"Well, Elena, if I had decided to kill you or poison you, you already would have been dead, right?" the girl just nodded. Damon has right, he hadn't hurt her and he wasn't going to. And from what she had seen last night Damon wouldn't hurt Alexandra. Elena could tell that Damon was very protective of her friend.

"Guys, what about your breakfast?" Alexandra asked them quietly. The look on Stefan' and Elena's faces was priceless. Damon knew that the question was only for him. It was an elegant way to ask him if he liked his breakfast – her blood. She was looking only at him and he smirked and gave her a simple nod. Stefan didn't have the intention to answer, so she burst in laughter and said. "Relax guys. I was just teasing." Elena burst in laughter with her. Stefan smiled a little. He knew that this simple question had a hidden meaning, but apparently he couldn't get it. So Stefan decided to help Damon.

"So where are you staying, Alexandra?" Damon asked the blonde girl, while they were eating.

"In Redfern's residence"

"Alex, why should you stay there all alone, after your parents' murder? I don't like the idea."

"Elena, it is my home there. And where am I going to life if not there?" asked Alexandra with a frustration. People were always saying that.

"Wait, Lillian and Ash were killed?" Damon asked with genuine concern.

"Yes, they were killed three years ago. And the police never caught the bastard..." she didn't want to think of that, but she couldn't help it. She felt a cold hand on her dislocated wrist. It felt good to the pain. She looked up to see no one's hand but Damon's.

"I am sorry for your parents...I think it would be for better to live here in the boarding house..."

"No, I am perfectly fine in my house." Alexandra said firmly.

"Really? After the fiasco you've put yesterday I think that you shouldn't be left alone."

"I can take care of myself." She hissed to him.

"It didn't look that way yesterday!" Alexandra couldn't believe that they couldn't be five minutes in one room without double crossing each other. No one ever had decided anything for her. For God's sake she was Alexandra Redfern.

"I am here with Damon, Alex...If something like that happens again and no one is around you can die." Stefan calmly said, looking the girl in the eyes, without using compulsion. He had already respected Alexandra to compel her.

"I would be dead in a month, so what will be the difference if I die now or month later?" she asked.

"Alex, please..." Started Elena, but was cut off.

"Elena, it is the truth. I am already dead..." there were tears in Alexandra eyes. She wanted it to be over this morning. She wanted Damon to rip her throat, to kill her right away. But he didn't, and she was so pissed at him for not doing what she wanted.

"And if I tell you that I can save you?" a silky voice asked.

"Please, Damon..."

"Look, Alexandra, I don't like to be underestimated. I can find a way and you maybe a vampire, but alive, which in your situation is a jackpot."

"There are too many vampires in the town. Bonnie said it."

"Who cares what the witch thinks? Nobody! A vampire less or more what is the difference?"

"There is none..." She said in low voice, not wanting to look at Elena and Stefan."So you are going to help me?"

"Yes, on one condition..."

"Damon..." Elena and Stefan said in union.

"What condition?" Alexandra felt as if she was gambling and she knew that this time she was losing.

"You have to come and live here." Somehow she knew that he was going to ask her that.

"You win, Damon." Alexandra said through her teeth. It was hard for her to admit his victory.

"I always win, princess." Damon smiled sinisterly at her and gently kissed her hand.
