"I would get my answers"
A/N: Hey guys…sorry for the long wait. It's been a terrible week. I just lost my grandmother and I haven't been feeling well, plus I had an exam…Not been good at all…
Hope you will forgive me and I hope this update makes up for it.
It was only a fraction of a second before I had gripped her neck between my two nimble but capable fingers. Another second passed where I ignored her shocked gasp and the smash of the mug that she had dropped before I finally noticed the thrumming heartbeat and the sound of her pulsing veins and rushing blood. "You're human" I gasped.
The shock caused me to loosen my hold on her when an arm was wrapped around my neck, pulling me so I could stumble back with him. "You're human" I stuttered out again, ignoring the choked tone caused by Damon's tight grasp on me.
Finally the girl got over her confusion as understanding settled within her wide blue eyes, "I-I'm not Katherine. I'm Elena" she pleaded, wanting for me to believe her but I couldn't find it in myself to look past her looks.
She shared the same long dark coffee brown hair although she had straightened hers, making her look younger. The same lapis lazuli eyes stared back at me, but instead of the maliciousness pebbling them, there was certain warmth melting within the blue orbs.
"Elena…" testing the name between my lips only made me believe her more. I wanted to take a closer look but the strong arms were still straining me so I pushed back, shrugging him away, "Get off me!" I exclaimed in great frustration.
There was obviously more to this story and I would get my answers.
Again my senses picked up when her scent was then mingled with the new delicious aroma of coffee and fresh croissants as well as chocolate donuts. Along with this, I picked up the smell of freshly squeezed orange juice and cranberry juice – my favorite (A/N: mine too – don't judge)
Suddenly my anger was dissipated with my hunger…
"Mmm… something smells good" I admitted and pushed past them and walked towards the kitchen, following the appetizing scents.
There was no hesitation as both followed after me and I heard Elena say, "Damon made breakfast"
This surprised me as the vampire didn't exactly seem like the domestic type of guy but sure enough, I found the breakfast that was laid out on the dining table. My hunger only became more prominent with the sight and I could only amount my hunger to the use of my power and energy.
I needed to refuel.
Not waiting for an invitation, I placed three donuts and two croissants on my plate before pouring myself a cup of coffee. I then took my seat and began to eat, ignoring their amused and disbelieving stares.
"Please, help yourself" Damon's sarcastically commented when sitting opposite me.
I swallowed the food before shrugging, "It's the least you can do after trying to kill me" I challenged with a hitched eyebrow.
"You knew exactly what you were getting yourself into" he returned with a knowing smile, "Question is, why did you follow me…?" he questioned with narrowed eyes.
I smirked and took another bite of my donut, "Suicide mission?"
"Why fight back?" he snapped and reached over to pick out a croissant. He then began to rip off smaller bits of it and popping it in his mouth.
Ignoring how I liked the way his lips moved, I turned my attention to the Young timid girl and pointed to her, "Katerina's descendant?" I guessed.
She nodded in confirmation, "I'm Elena" she repeated and cautiously took a seat next to Damon, "Elena Gilbert" she elaborated before calmly informing, "A doppelganger"
The word was enough to make me lose my appetites as I dropped the cutlery onto the table, "Of course" my tongue pushed at the inside of my mouth as I fell deep in thought. I could tell they were waiting for my own introduction and some kind of explanation and I knew it would be okay.
"Isabella Swan…" I stuck out my hand for her but was surprised when she actually accepted it. Reading the trust seeping into her doubtful eyes I revealed my own secret, "Vampire hunter"
A/N: Most of you may be wondering – is she one of the five? Answer: Kinda…
Love TV shows like Heroes (sci-fi nerd for life and proud) and love playing about with powers so I wanted to make Bella more special…make her less vulnerable and more badass…
