Ember p.o.v
Evian was always freaking out. I sighed. I didn't even want to talk to Jasper anyway… well not a lot anyway. Okay… maybe I did but still. And anyway I had options lined up or possibilities at least. The new guy, Damon Salvatore, was really hot and he had a sort of mysteriousness about him. I thought about our encounter. It was after school and I was going to my car.
"Yo Ember! Why'd you drop your books on the ground?" Shawn Hale called after me.
"What the are you talking about?" I demanded. I couldn't stand Shawn and he knew that. He ran around and slapped my books out of my hand and started laughing. "Ugh Shawn you little-" I started.
"Hey you! Yeah you, the annoying little boy." I turned to see Damon walking up.
"Who are you?" Shawn demanded.
"A recurring nightmare if you keep bothering her." Damon said.
"Who the hell do you think you are?" Shawn demanded, a little angry now.
"I'm Damon Salvatore and if I were you, I wouldn't piss me off." Damon said. His face looked calm but danger radiated off of him. Shawn backed off and Damon turned to me. "The guy's a tool. I hate tools. See how easy I got him to back off? He doesn't even know who I am." Damon said with a smile. He picked up my books and handed them to me.
"Thanks. Shawn really gets on my nerves. He's always annoying me." I said. "I'm Ember by the way." I said. We both smiled.
"If he keeps bothering you, you can let me know and I'll deal with him." Damon said.
"You don't know me so how come you're helping me?" I asked.
"Well… I don't have the best reputation where I moved from. I don't really want that to be the case here. And besides, I kinda like helping the damsel in distress." he said.
Damon p.o.v
"You haven't done anything stupid yet have you?" I turned to see my brother. I couldn't help the shocked look on my face.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Making sure you're keeping your end of the deal." Stefan said.
"You don't have to check in on me Stefan." I said, annoyed. He shrugged.
"So… who's the girl you were flirting with today?" Stefan asked.
"Geez Stefan, stalk much?" I said.
"Just answer the question." he said, ignoring me.
"She's just some girl, little brother." I said. "Now, get lost." I said. He sighed, but left. "And don't keep randomly showing up! I hate that." I called after him. I knew he heard me when I heard him laugh. I thought about that girl and the other vampire… and about the real reason I came here. Stefan would kill me if he managed to get that information out of me. But he wouldn't of course. I sighed.
