Chapter2

Damon offered his hand on the girl in front of him. Damn she's beautiful. Her pale face is so genuine with innocence and her big red eyes were like shiny rubies in distress. Damon got to be careful on sucking her blood.

"I'm Damon".

Like a small child trying to figure out if the candy is real the girl touched his hand.

He froze. Her hand is like ice cold rock fresh from the freezer. Damon unclasped from the touch and stared at the girl whose biting her lower lip. He can't hear a single heart beat from her chest, he can't see any signs of blood rushing at any part of her. And those bruise-like thing under her eyes……

Uh-oh. Looks like a new vampire is on the roof…….

Alice feels so stupid. Oh-why, why, why does she need to touch his hand? The plan is simple right Alice? Wait for the young blond man. . She's not supposed to meet a different man with disturbing good looks and honey-like voice.

The brunette man named Damon smiled at her, his dark eyes were amused and cautious. He occupied the stool beside, bringing him nearer to Alice. She noticed that his still-white-under-the-dim-lights skin is harder than any human that she ever saw. And what's that? Some kind of weird energy is surrounding this Damon guy that curious Alice, despite herself, made her it even firmer than before.

The waiter asked Damon his order. "Scotch", he said a smile still plastered at his face. The waiter passed Alice, spreading his delicious smell on the lady vampire. She held her breath, to overcome the huge desire.

Smiling Damon look from the server to Alice with some smug understanding smug understanding. He leaned forward towards her.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"No."

Her tickling high-pitched voice made Damon speechless for awhile. But he regained his voice as he went "Are you thirsty?"

Alice gulped. Something about his tone is so sure so filled with knowing.

Knowing what?

Does he know what she is?

She jumps out from her stool, heading towards the door. The blond man will not appear today and she can always wait. In another day.

"There's a drink inside the diner." Damon is whispering but Alice's super ear is always efficient. They were both walking at the street, the afternoon light is already saying goodbye. Alice felt a huge comfort as twilight embraced her granite skin but Damon's continued sentence erased it. "If we both act as a team we can get him free in no time."

"I don't know what you're talking about." She said.

He laughed "I know you do. Stregoni benefici.."

Alice stops walking. "Huh?"

"Stregoni benefici." Damon's eyes look down at her tiny built. "A vampire who sparkles."

"How-"

But Alice was cut off. Her sight of Damon disappeared replaced by an unsteady vision.

She can see a vision of a family smiling down at her and her escort.

But tiredness kicked in at Alice. She can feel her legs wobbling making her fall on the stoned street. But Damon reached for her, his arms around her tiny waist.

What was that for?

"Are you alright?" he asked the vampire girl. She shook her head.

Damon sighed as he held closer at his chest the too-heavy pint size girl. It's obvious glitterfy vampire is so weak with hunger and stress to even walk.

"Where are we going?" she asked weakly looking like an exquisite doll.

"In my hotel room." Damon smiled brightly. "I have some food thre."
