Don´t own anything except OC
-What is this?- I still held the stake in my hand. It was soft and it seemed it was made with dedication and by expert hands. The wood was perfectly sanded.
I continue to search the little room. It was ten feet long and two meters width. It was tall enough to hold a man of seven feet. With my precarious illumination I could only see there were many books and many other weapons. I walked deeper in the darkness until I reached the wall. It was all covered in books and papers. But in the center there was a showcase. And it had… jewelry? This place gave me chills and I could not see exactly everything this secret room held, but I had seen enough to feel confused and scared. I could see that in the ceiling there were several light bulbs. Maybe when I got to reconnect the light I could illuminate this room.
When I was making my way out I saw something hanging beside the frame of the secret door. It was a picture. I took some dust with my hand and was shocked from what I saw. I saw my parents looking at me with a smile and a baby in their arms, which I guessed it was me.
So this room was theirs? Maybe it had something to do with my father not wanting to talk about Mystic Falls. Something terribly wrong must have happened for them to leave town and not wanting me to know anything about it. But then, if they didn´t wanted to return, why did they kept this house?
The sound of the shower brought me back to reality. I had to get ready because Stephan would be here in a while and I had been in that creepy room for at least half an hour, looking around and in a state of shock.
I had to keep them away from this room if they were going to help me clean. If they saw this room, they would think my parents were some freaks that had a strange secret room in their closet full of old books, stakes and jewelry. And frankly, I could not help to think that myself.
I got out and closed the doors of the closet. I would think of something to keep them away from there. I went to the bath room with a frown and trying to act normal. Of course my head was a complete mess. I had to get light in that room right away.
It was a relief that there were not termites the ones eating the house. That would cost me a fortune and the whole house would…
"What is wrong with you Kira!" I scolded myself "You have just found a creepy room hidden in your closet that was probably built by your parents and you just think about termites!"
And it was a fact that my parents had made that room because my own father built this house. He was an architect and he designed each corner of this house. I entered the shower and let the water wash away a little of my confusion.
I put on the blue sweater and my jeans. I put on some make up and let my hair lose. My eyes were the main attractive in my face. I brushed my teeth and put on a bracelet and some earrings. This daily things were made with my mind turning constantly to the closet of my room.
My cellphone started to ring and I answered it shaking my head, as if with that I could dispel the thoughts about that room.
-Hello- I answered as I took my purse.
-Hi Kira, it´s Stephan. Are you ready?- His voice was soft and somehow gave me a little bit of peace of mind.
-Yes, actually I am just waiting for you? If you are busy I could go to the Grill myself just tell me where it is and I´ll be right away- I said with a smile as I could imagine him shaking his head. I liked to observe people, and I could tell Stephan was like, old style, if he said he would do something, he would.
-Are you trying to avoid me?- He teased –Because if that is the case you will not succeed. First of all Elena will kill me if I let you dumped, and secondly I gave you my word – "See told you".
-Of course I am not trying to avoid you. You and Elena have being really nice to me. Thank you- I really appreciate their welcoming. I just didn´t wanted to abuse of their time. Really they should have other things to do than taking care of the new girl.
-It´s nothing. I am in front of your house now. So, come on- He hung up and I saw threw the window that a red oldie (but not for that in a poor condition) Porsche was there.
I smiled and opened the door. I made my way towards his car and smiled.
-You have the most amazing car I have ever seen- I looked at the red car in front of me. It had personality and also I could not imagine a guy like Stephan driving a colorful model of 1963.
-Thank you. If you are lucky, maybe, a day far, far, but really far, away I will let you drive it- I laughed as I opened the co-driver seat and closed the door –Thank you. That is the weirdest and most uncharming invitation I have ever had-.
He laughed loudly and started the car. A classic music sounded and I raised an eyebrow –Classic music?-.
-Well yes, I really enjoy it. There was a time when this was the JLo of the moment, you know? - He said with a smile as he turned the steering wheel.
-I don´t doubt that. What I really doubt is that you have their same excuse to find it entertained. So what is yours? - Actually I loved classic music, but I could not have expected a guy would have that type of music in his car.
He gave me a smirk as if he found something beneath my words that was hidden from me but it was funny. I raise an eyebrow questioning him again.
-Well, I find it to be relaxing, and it express so much without a single word and, sometimes, much more effectively than when you open your mouth-.
I gave him a small side smile and raised my chin –Now there is a charming response-.
He just shook his head fun and kept driving. The rest of the way was made in a comfortable silence. He stopped by a big restaurant that seemed to be full of people. It seemed this was the social point in Mystic Falls.
We got out of the car and he guided me into the restaurant. It was warm and the illumination was low and comfortable. I raised my head to see over the people but it was not very helpful because of my high.
-Kira! - I heard the voice of Elena and I then saw her in a table with a beautiful brunet girl with green eyes. Her skin was the color of chocolate and her smile was warm and white.
-Hi- I said as Stephan and I reached their table. Suddenly I felt as if someone was staring at me directly. But I could not find the source. Perhaps it was just my imagination.
-Hello beautiful- Said Stephan as he kissed Elena passionately and sat beside her.
-Hello Kira, I am Bonny Bennett. Elena told me that you are her new neighbor. I will really be pleased to help you fix your new home- I smiled at her. She was really nice as well and I could tell we could be really good friends –Thank you Bonnie. I really appreciate it-.
-Don´t worry, Caroline will be fine in no time- Said Elena with a smile –I am sure that tomorrow; she will help us finish the house-.
Stephan moved in his seat with sudden discomfort –I don´t think it is a good idea. She needs…time-.
-I don´t wish to discomfort anyone. Really you don´t have too…- But I could not finish the phrase.
-Nonsense Kira, stop saying those things. We will help you and we do it with pleasure. So stop it- Said Elena with a warm smile as she took my hand.
-She´s right Kira, so don´t even think about it. And we can use this time to get to know each other right? I bet you will really like Mystic Falls- Bonnie smiled friendly and gave me a little punch with her shoulder in mine.
-Right- I nodded and a blond man came to take our order –Hi guy´s, what you what today?- He asked as he looked at them with a smile and taking a little note book from his black apron.
-Hi Matt. I want you to meet Kira Adrian. She is my new neighbor and she will be our classmate next week. Kira this is Matt Donovan- Elena introduced us and I shook his hand –Nice to meet you Matt-.
-My pleasure. So why you came to live here, Kira?- He asked with a warm smile. Everyone was being really well coming.
I opened my mouth and doubted a little bit. Luckily Elena came to my rescue –Well, who would not fall to the charms of this little town eh. Well, I don´t know about you but I am starving-.
We ordered and Matt left the table with everything written in his yellow notebook. I felt again that someone was staring at me and the filling gave me chills. I started to look around but I could not see the source of it.
-Amm… Where´s the bathroom?- I asked as I hoped to have a better look of the place on my feet.
-Right, over, there- Said Bonnie pointing to one corner of the restaurant where there was a corridor –I´ll be back in no time-.
I stood from the table and made my way to the bathroom. I searched the room but I didn´t see anything out of the normal. People stared at me but probably because they had never seen me before.
I was starting to think I was crazy when I saw him. He was at the bar with a black leather jacket. He was all dressed in black and even seat I could see he had an athletic body. He had dark raven hair and had white skin. But what captured my especial attention where a pair of deep blue eyes. He looked at me straight to mine. It was ice against light brown.
There was something reflected in his eyes that made me stay right where I was. It was hidden beneath a mask of arrogance and sarcastic mood, but it was still there. The sorrow and pain.
He had a glass of… something in front of him and he played with it. He turned his whole body towards me and he looked at me as if he was studying me. Suddenly a smirk appeared in his face and he gave a drink to his glass.
It was him! Suddenly it came to my mind. So, he was with Elena? And what about Stephan? I was sure this man was the one I saw kissing Elena last night. I turned to see Elena and I saw her kissing Stephan with so much love I could not think she would cheat on him.
The man in the bar followed my gaze and saw the couple kissing and laughing. Pain. It was again in his eyes but he smiled and raised an eyebrow.
I took advantage of his distraction and turned around and headed towards the bathroom. I entered and felt a sort of relive to be free of the weight of his gaze. Who the hell was him? And why did he have this effect on me. "No, I will not let him do this to me". I would go out there and return to my table and have a nice day. I will ignore him. Yes that is what I was going to do.
I washed my hands as I made this mental preparation. He was a complete stranger and he seemed to be a jack ass if he was doing that to a guy as nice as Stephan. And Elena? I could not believe she…
Well who was I to judge? Maybe they had their reasons and I will not get into business that weren´t mine. I looked at myself in the mirror and I took a deep breath. I passed my finger through my hair and smoothed my sweater.
I got out of the bathroom with the firm idea of not looking at the bar, but I wasn´t going to be that lucky. I almost crashed with a dark figure and when I looked up I meet those deep blue eyes. He had a frown on his perfect face and a small smile. Like if I was some kind of funny thing he had encounter in his way.
-So, you are the famous Kira Adrian- His voice was masculine and had a touch of sarcasm. "Remember what you just said Kira, I will not let him do this to me. Act normal".
-I really doubt I am famous. But about my name, you get it right- I said as I tried to make my way out of his huge chest, but he grabbed me by the arm with amazing strength. A sudden tingling, where his hand was touching me, came to me. He just stared at me. We were really close and this was making me really uncomfortable.
-Why you came to town?- He asked suddenly blinking and frowning even more. His tone changed and seemed ruder. Now this, I could handle.
-Excuse me! I don´t have to give you any explanation. In fact I don´t even know you so…- I raised my eyebrow and threatened him with a look –And let me go!-.
He softened his grip but didn´t let me go. He stared at me and I was starting to get lost in his eyes again. Oh please! I was being stupid, but I could not help it.
-Damon Salvatore! Let her go- A voice called from his back. We both turned towards the sound of the voice and found Elena stand at the beginning of the corridor.
-Salvatore? - He was Stephan´s brother! And he jet kissed Elena! I removed my arm rudely and he turned to look at me.
-At your service beauty- He gave me a smirk and leaned his head towards his right.
-Have he hurt you!- Asked Elena as he got closer to me and took my hand.
-Why you always have to be so dramatic Elena?- He rolled his eyes and then smiled but when he looked at her again and his eyes were saying the truth. It pained him that she thought the worst of him.
-Because I believed in you when no one did Damon. And I found everyone was right. You are a lost cause. Don´t ever get close to my friends or me again do you understand?-.
He smiled at her again. But the way he clenched his jaw… -No one ever ask you to believe in me Elena. That was just you, and your usual charity acts-.
I just stood there in the middle of them looking at each other.
-You are right. But be certain I will not make that mistake again with you- She pulled me and started to walk towards the tables. But Damon appeared in front of us in the speed of a second. But how could he…?
-Get out of the way- Said Elena made a fury.
-You can go where ever you want to. I was having a conversation with her- He said pointing me and posing his incredible blue eyes on me –So if you don´t mind…-.
-Enough! - I said as I let go of the hand of Elena and punched Damon with both of my hands to get him out of the way. He didn´t move one muscle, and I was using most of my strength! –Please let me go Damon. It is obvious that you both need something to talk about. I am out!-.
-If it was not clear four you sunshine, everything had been said between Miss Gilbert and me- Elena seemed to be at her limit now.
-I can believe you are Stephan´s brother! You will never be even the shadow of what he is Damon- He was going to slap him right in the cheek but he took her hand and got her closer to him.
-I can believe you thought I will kiss you back Damon- She looked at him straight in the eyes and raised her chin –For me it is Stephan; it will always gonna be Stephan-.
With that she took my hand and we both got to the table leaving a shocked and really pissed off Damon behind. I didn´t knew why but I didn´t wanted to leave him like that.
-Elena…? - I called her a few steps from our table.
-Don´t get close to that guy if you can avoid it Kira- She was made fury and I made her stop. I raised an eyebrow inquisitively and crossed my arms.
–I am so sorry Kira, you shouldn´t have heard any of that. I wish I could… I could explain you everything but, I just can´t- I nodded in agreement and hugged her –It´s okay Elena. I am here. And I swear I will not say anything about what happened there-.
She smiled and hugged me tighter –Thank you Kira. You are so good- She said as she took a deep breath –But I bet that Stephan already knows what happened there-.
-Oh come on! With all this crowd! And we were too far for him to hear anything- I stroke her arm in comfort and smiled at her reassuringly.
She just pressed her lips and opened her eyes as she looked to one side –Yeah-.
I really was so confused about what happened there, but I just wanted her to feel better. What she meant she didn´t kissed him back if I saw that she did! And I could see Damon really felt for her, why did that made me feel bad? She was right I should get as far away from that man as possible.
We sat and Stephan gave us a look that made me confused. Like of… understanding? We ate and I tried not to think of what happened moments ago. Elena seemed to be lost in thought but she kept her head against Stephan´s shoulder all the time. Bonnie was the one that kept the conversation going and she was really nice to me.
After the meal we all headed towards my home to start the cleaning. When I got out of the Grill I felt that same gaze again. That one that gave me chills, but was at the same time… intriguing. I stopped and looked around. But there was no one.
-Come Kira- Said Bonnie from inside of Elena´s black car. I nodded and gave her a weak smile. But before I could get into the car I saw an elegant but spooky raven that was over a clock just across the street. And I could almost swear I felt that gaze again, coming from it…
So, let me know what you think :D… Next Chapter will be better. More Damon/Kira, and Caroline will appear. Hope you like it…
