It has been two days since I've seen Stefan Salvatore; it has been two days since I have been happy. Now I sit in my room finishing my English paper on Romeo and Juliet and all I can think about is Stefan Salvatore. Sometimes when I get out of my car and see the green forest behind my house, my body feels like it is being drawn towards it. I constantly have to remind myself that I would never fall in love with anyone after Edward that is when I get scared. I can't possibly have feelings for Stefan when I don't even know him. I began to trace circles on my blank paper to keep my fingers occupied.

Once my page was covered in ink, I got out of the miniature house and began for the forest. It was late and I knew that but I had to see him again. Moments later, I was in the forest alone. Where was he? And why did I always have to meet him in the forest? I don't really have to meet him in the forest, I want to. I sat down on the moist ground and rested my head on a tree trunk that was covered in moss. My eye lids felt heavier than usual and I couldn't help but close them. There he was, Edward, looking at me with disenchanted eyes. "Why Bella? Why him?" He said through clenched teeth. I wanted to remind him that I loved him and only him but I couldn't speak; I couldn't even move. He looked down to the ground and I saw a clear tear drop run down his face. This wasn't Edward; Edward would hide his feelings from me, protect me. He would let me make my own choice and not complain. The man in front of me turned away and began to run in the opposite direction. I wanted to shout, "Edward, come back!" but I couldn't.

I felt my body shake and my eyes were open and looking around me. "Bella, Wake up." My eyes spotted him out from afar. Why was he so far away from me, I won't bite? "Stefan?" I said staggering upwards. "Why are you so far away?" I asked hoping his answer would be short and vague, instead I received no answer. "Stefan-"I gasped at the sight of his face, Damon. "What do you want?" I demanded stomping my right foot on the ground.

"Calm down Bella, I was just going for a walk when I stumbled across a sleeping beauty." He said with a crooked smile.
"Yea right Damon-"
"You remember my name?" He said
"Yea, so?" I said with a hint of attitude. He smiled at me and took two steps forward when I raised my hand, indicating that I did not want him to come any closer.
"Nothing, I just thought that you would forget my name, you know, since you have more important things on your mind. For instance, where is my brother or can I ever let myself fall in love again." I tried not to let out a gasp but it was no use; the gasp escaped from my mouth.
"Stefan, he is your brother?" I said shakily.
"Why yes I am, I do think I am the handsome one of the family." He laughed a wicked laugh that would forever replay in my head. "C'mon Bella, loosen up, I won't hurt you." He took a step forward and I flinched at the thought of him near me.
"Stay away from me" I demanded. He tilted his head to the right and stared at me with bewilderment. My eyes began to explore his face and body which was a horrible mistake. He was beautiful, just like Stefan. But Damon looked dangerous, he looked evil. I had to get a better look at the stunning man that was two feet away, pushing all my responsible thoughts away. Damon looked powerful; he looked as if his skin was beaming. I took a step closer and I stopped in amazement when the voice appeared in my head, Stay back Bella. "Edward" I whispered in my mind. "Oh, how much I've missed you." I repeated over and over again in my thoughts hoping he would respond.

"Bella?" Damon asked, looking worried. I met his gaze and felt my cheeks burn up and turn red. He laughed at my embarrassment and was now at my side with an arm over my shoulder. I heard Edward growl in my thoughts and every step Damon took with me under his arm the growling grew louder and louder. "Don't be upset my love, he won't hurt me, I promise" I reminded Edward. I slugged out of Damon's grasp and began to walk the other way. "Stefan isn't there either Bella," he said to me as I was making my way to the clearing. "As long as I am away from you," I muttered under my breath. "I heard that!" He shouted from far away. I turned around in shock and he was gone. How did he possibly hear that?

"Bella! Bella!" I heard Charlie shout from the house. I ran out of the forest, avoiding every root that met my path. "Bella," he whispered when he saw me exit the clearing. I was a yard away when I noticed he had his uniform on and his gun with him. "Charlie, what's wrong?" I asked. This picture was unusual. The house was dark and empty and his cruiser was not in the drive way but Charlie was standing right in front of me with his uniform on and his gun handy. "Bella, are you all right?" he asked with worried eyes; very similar to Damon's. I almost said fine when I realized that I wasn't fine, I was the total opposite.

"Why? What's up?" I asked again after a moment of silence.
"There was an attack today." He said through clenched teeth.
"Oh my. Who was it? What happened?" I took a couple more steps closer to Charlie and that is when I realized his eyes were bloodshot, it looked as if he were crying.
"I don't know how to tell you this Bella but...it was Mike."
