Chapter 6

Damon turned behind him and let out a frustrated hiss. He didn't like being watched and whoever or whatever this was should run if they wanted to live. He sent out a blast of power.

"Stefan" he growled, it wasn't a question, Damon knew his brothers mind like he knew his own.

Stefan jumped down hesitantly from a near-by tree but didn't advance any further.

"What have I warned you about manners, Stefan? Do not spy on me ever." He spat out through gritted teeth, self restraint was not his strong point at the moment.

"I heard the woman that was wondering through the forest by herself, scream and came to see what was going on" he said quietly not wanting to anger Damon further.

"I gave her directions", Damon replied defensively.

Stefan couldn't understand Damon's strange acts. First he enrols in school, and then walks away from a human that was willing to give him blood, made to be willing of course, and then he drinks animal blood, and doesn't even kill the animal.

"I just wanted to see what the big deal about animal blood was with you", Damon said nonchalantly.

Stefan narrowed his eyes "Curiosity? That's what made you leave that woman with all the blood you found her with?"

"What, do you want me to go drain her, just say the word and I will", Damon flashed a smile straight at him.

"No" Stefan said as soon as Damon finished talking, he didn't think Damon was bluffing and he wasn't about to risk challenging him. Stefan walked away, it was better to leave Damon alone when he was not in control, which was most of the time. He needed to know why he went back to school and who he was looking for but Damon was not one that could be forced into telling.

Damon stood there watching his brother walk away until he was out of sight, he reflected on what had just happen. Like Stefan he couldn't understand why he was acting so strangely lately though he had a feeling Elena had something to do with it.

He spent the rest of the day and most of the night hunting animals; he wouldn't let himself near Elena being hungry. Every time he thought of how much easier and sweeter human blood would be than animal blood, he thought of Elena and her picture in his jeans pocket would get heavier and he would forget how human blood tasted. Tomorrow he would be ready to get to know her to make her love him, no matter how long it took, without mind control…
