Chapter 5

Damon drove around town looking for a specific prey. At this time of day most of the people still in there houses were the elderly or children, even Damon had a conscience at times, he drew a line at old people, children and their mothers unless off course the mothers were especially attractive or annoying. As he drove past the shops he spotted a women with shoulder length red hair in an above the knee, low cut blue dress, window-shopping. He slowed down, pulled closer to the kerb and put down the window as far as it could. "Want a lift?"

The woman looked around and took a step back, not believing that a gorgeous man in a really expensive car wanted to give her a lift.

"Oh, well I wasn't heading home just yet" she hesitated obliviously not wanting to refuse. "Then again, why not?"

"There are many reasons why not" he smiled while she opened the passenger door.

"What was that?"

"Nothing" he sped down the road, trying to ignore her presence until he felt something hit his arm.

"Yes?" he said slightly annoyed by her disturbance of his thoughts.

"My house is in the other direction, and your way over he speed limit, this may be a small town but it does still have police, do you want to get arrested? What, are you crazy?" she screamed over the music that was blasting from the car, Damon only realised then that he put the music on to distract him about what he was going to do, so far it wasn't working to well. He turned off the music and looked straight at her. "Probably"

"What? You're probably going too fast, you're probably going to be arrested, or you're crazy?"

"All three, apart from the arrested part, of course" he said still staring at her getting slightly more annoyed.

"Look at the road! You're going to get us killed, pull over and let me out, now"

Damon pulled over, they were at the side of the forest, and he went over to the passenger door and opened it. He grabbed the woman by the arm and pulled her into the forest away from any passing cars.

"Let go off me now! I'm going to call the police" she reached into her handbag; Damon grabbed her wrist with his steel grip. He looked into her eyes, "You're not afraid of me, you want to be here" He let go of her wrist, "Now, do you still want to leave?"

"No, I want to be here" she said sounding entranced.

He bent over her and moved her hair away from her neck; he tilted her head back and kept her head in his hand. He stared at her pale neck and an image flashed through his mind; Elena's pale skin, the way her hair covered her neck slightly and how much he would hate it if anyone tried to bite into that beautiful, perfect, porcelain-looking skin. He released his hold on the woman's neck, enraged at the thought of anyone hurting his Elena. The woman fell backwards looking confused. "You don't know me or how you got here, go south, keep on the path, take two rights and follow the road" he said mechanically and turned and ran in the opposite direction of the forest. He didn't know where he was going he just needed to get away from that woman, the more he thought of Elena the more he felt repelled from the woman. He started to slow down; there was someone else here with him. His hunting skills kicked into overdrive as he surveyed his surroundings. A deer was resting by a tall oak tree. After being so close to feeding and then being able to walk away had took a lot of strength and his resistance was running low. He approached the deer soundlessly, as it was still unaware of his presence. He sunk his sharp fangs into the deer's neck, it wasn't as satisfying as human blood but it helped fulfil his needs a bit. By the time he felt the deer's resistance he nearly had it drained of blood. He drew back, and the deer tried to stumble to its feet but feel back down exhausted. It will be back to normal in a few days, Damon thought to himself Wait, when did I start caring about other peoples lives? He asked slightly disgusted with himself. He had been concentrating so deeply with his experimental feeding with the deer, that he didn't feel another presence until then, someone was watching him…
