Here´s chapter seven. I am sorry for taking so long But here it is…
I hope you enjoy.
He drove me home and neither of us said a word. I was just dizzy with all the information I had in my head.
Mystic Falls was asleep and the lights shone in the windows of his blue Chevy Camaro. The night was cold and I put my hand in the window to see how the warmth of my body left printed my hand in the window just for a moment until it disappeared.
I could not believe all of this was happening. I mean, vampires? Really? And me being part of what ever plain they had in mind to get rid of Katherine? But when I saw the sadness and worry in Elena´s eyes I knew I had to do something to help her. She looked tired and I must admit I have always had a protective vein in me that make me want to look after everyone around me.
And that was the main reason I was in this car with Damon Salvatore, the question was, what the hell I was thinking I could protect him off? He was immortal, strong, incredible handsome, a dark creatures that was a predator, not a prey! But still I knew the answer. It was something that we all feel, that not even a vampire is immune to… solitude.
But what difference could I make. I know this guy was dangerous and that I will not let myself fall for him. It was like throwing myself into a pool full of sharks. But I just wanted to see a little bit of joy in those blue eyes.
But I could not lie that I was doing this for a complete selfish reason. Deep down in me I wanted to see his eyes with a little joy because, and for me. Of course I would not admit that to myself, but I knew it.
-Are you okay beauty?- He asked as he where almost home.
I took a deep breath and raised an eyebrow –Yes- I said with a weak smile –I am always okay. I have to- I said as he pulled the car to a stop and I opened the door to get home.
He was by my side in the blink of an eye again –Oh my God! I have told you not to do that!- I said putting a hand in my chest to feel my heart raising because of the surprise.
He took my chin and made me look at him. He had the sexiest eyes I have ever seen and to having looking just threw mine gave me chills.-I have not ask you how you have to be, I am asking you if you are all right-.
I turned my head away and looked down –I cannot afford to fall Damon, I cannot afford to be wrong, not ever again-.
He frowned and took me by the arms with strength, as if he was demanding an explanation – Why?- He asked in a whisper.
-Because there will be no one to pull me up- I gave him a weak smile. He blinked confused and seemed to be analyzing my words as if there were the most complicated puzzle of planet earth.
I smiled and give him a little punch in the chest –Come, I am freezing here-.
He followed me and he stopped in the frame of the door –I really don´t know if this is a good idea- I said as I was at the other side of the frame door. If I let him in, there was no coming back.
-You said you wanted to help. And the only protection you have to do that is us… will you trust us?- He raised an eyebrow mischievously.
I enclosed my eyes in a sign of mistrust. I took a deep breath. If I wanted answers about the secret life of my parents, I could not think of a better sort of information than an actual vampire –Come in-.
The words left me a strange taste in the mouth, like when you say something you shouldn't have. His smile was wider and with decided steps he enters my home.
-Is a little empty- He said looking around and when he spotted the sofa he took my hand and drove us to the sofa. His skin was soft but at the same time hit me as fire. I tried to ignore the feeling and sat beside him in the sofa.
-You are conscious that Mrs. Lockwood will not come at 3 a.m. to my house just because she knows I am already in town right?-.
He smiled and put one arm at my back –You got me. In fact you have to rest because tomorrow we will have a very long day- He said as he started to look around.
-We? And what exactly are we going to do tomorrow? - I asked raising an eyebrow and looking at him with a smile –In the first place, buy decent furniture to your place. This will look more alive if you lived in a retirement house-.
-I have always admire your touching sensibility when you express you opinion, really is admirable- The raising of my eyebrow was as sarcastic as my comment but he didn´t see to take it bad as he smiled at me and continue to share the agenda for tomorrow –After that will go to talk with Carol Lockwood and his interesting son Tyler-.
I frowned –Why does that sounds like you have some unfinished business with Tyler Lockwood?-.
He smiled at me and that smile meted every resistance I had towards his seduction powers –May be because I do-.
I turned my look to one side. I didn´t wanted to know more for the moment. Knowing about vampire´s was more than enough for a day.
-How will I know the difference between Katherine and Elena?- I asked before a minute of silence.
He looked at his feet and have me a little smile –If only you knew how different they are the one of the other- It was almost a whisper but the words were clear enough to wound me and I hated that he had the power of making me vulnerable.
-Don´t worry, I´ll be around you long enough to protect you from her. We are actually making a plan to get rid of her-.
-Would you kill her that easily, after loving her so deeply? - I asked in a whisper. His cold eyes turned immediately towards mine and I could see the anger shinning in them but he controlled himself.
-She killed me first Kira- He took a deep breath and shook his head –Rest, I´ll come tomorrow okay. Try not to get in trouble in a couple of hours please-.
-My only big problem is you- I said with a smile as I admired his athletic body and his broad shoulders.
He turned again towards me and winked at me –We need problems in our lives. That what´s make it interesting- And with that he was gone. Just like that, as if he was a magician.
I didn't know why but this was begging to feel familiar to me. I wanted to keep everything of this at the back of my mind so I improvised a decent sandwich; I took a hot relaxing bath and get straight to bed.
To my luck I didn´t dreamed anything and I slept the whole night. Actually I could have been sleeping all day long if it wasn´t for a strange noise I heard from the kitchen.
-What the hell- I said with a strange voice and my hair all messed up.
I get off the bed and made my way to the kitchen. Just to find a sexy vampire dressed in a tight black shirt and dark jeans. His black hair was gorgeous and looking at him was my new favorite hobby. Of course this knowledge was for me only, I would never admit to him or anyone that the guy could melt my knees.
-Good you look awful- He said as he saw me with my grey pyama pants and an old t-shirt. A remark so like him it made me laugh.
-Well, it´s a luck I am not trying to impress you- I said as I raised an eyebrow and got closer. Suddenly I realized that he shouldn´t be here –Hey what the hell are you doing here without me inventing you in? – I knew doing it last night was going to be a bad idea.
He gave me his sexy smile as I saw him make something in the pan. Was he cooking? No way! He was a man of motorbikes, beers, sex and all those stuff. Not a sweet home man that makes breakfast to a stranger.
-I told you we have an important agenda to deal with today, so I want you to eat this, even doe it may taste like shit- He said as he put a perfect hotcake in a plate in front of me. Why does he have to do these things? I had enough trying to resist his physic, why does he have to be this perfect combination between an ass and a cutie.
-Thank you, you shouldn't have- I said as I looked at my plate in a frown as I tried to avoid his blue eyes.
-You are right. But since Elena is in the house with Stephan I can have a moment of peace. So I figure out I should come and keep an eye close to our new vampire hunter- He said as he took a bottle of whiskey and started to drink.
After that I kept in silence and we went out to buy the furniture of the house. Well in fact he dropped me off in the first store and he came back an hour later.
-Stupid ass hole- I said as I was looking at the curtains I will by for the living room –He just dropped me off in a store. I could have come by myself! But is my fault!- I said as I looked at the blue curtain that caught my attention –I shouldn't have been convinced just because he knows how to cook…- I didn´t have the habit of talking to myself, or at least in public places, but I was just so angry that I he left me there just like that.
He just said "Stay here" and left! Just like that. But if I was completely honest with myself what was driving me crazy was that I was starting to like him. His sarcasm, his blue eyes, his smile and his sweet details that came from the human Damon I knew was deep inside him. And that made me feel like the most stupid person in the world. I could not like a guy like him. He was a vampire and he certainly will never feel that was about me. He was a player. He was a vampire for God´s sake!
-Son of a bitch- I said as I touched the soft fabric of the blue curtain I had been holding in my hand for a while.
-I missed you too beauty- I heard a familiar voice called me from behind. But he was not alone, Bunny and Elena where beside him and also the blood girl who was also a vampire. Caroline, I think was her name.
-Thought you would like some female advise to decorate you house- He said as he raised an eyebrow and laid against the frame of a fake window that exhibit some green curtains. And there he was again, having this sweet details that made all my barriers crash in the floor.
Bonnie and Caroline frowned but tried to keep their expressions calm. Elena smiled at me and took my hand as if we were best friends since the infancy.
-I love that one- She said as she took the curtain I was holding while curing Damon. He stared at me with an intensity that made me almost impossible to ignore him while I was looking for everything I needed.
After I ordered everything to be brought at my house the next day we went to drop off Bonnie and Caroline, who was indeed someone interesting to talk to. She was a little bit to materialistic for my taste, but she had been nice and told me she was grateful for keeping her the Salvatore´s secret.
-You are so invited to our next pyama party- Said Caroline as she gave me a hug and I could not help but feel chills. I mean with just one move she could kill me. But I tried to calm myself. I mean I have been passing all my day with her and Damon. And nothing had happened to me. Of course I tried to throw away of my mind the fact that they were vampires and my parents would probably hate me now for being around the creatures they seemed to hate.
-Thank you Caroline. I´ll be here- I said with a smile and with that Elena, Damon and me went to the Lockwood's mansion. The drive was extremely uncomfortable. Elena and Damon didn´t seemed to be in mood of talking but they didn´t stop to send each other gazes of hate.
I was in the back of the car and I was starting to planning on threw myself out of the car when we pulled in. The house was beautiful and so as Mrs. Lockwood. She was all sweetness and greeting but there was something about her that wasn´t kite right. She seemed in a way… fake.
After asking me how I found Mystic Falls and how sorry she was for my parent's death she also gave me a speech about the founder families. She told me stories of her and my mother and that if I needed anything she would be there for me. She sounded too good to be truth and I think in a way she was.
-Tomorrow I am having a Masquerade ball in my house Kira and I would be really happy if you will join us. It is a great opportunity for you to meet new people and to get put with your friends- She said pointing Damon and Elena. She gave Damon a friendly smile, like if they shared a secret. I would certainly ask of it later.
-That would be great Mrs. Lockwood. But I have nothing to wear- I said with a frown. I have spent a considerable amount of money in the furniture today.
-Nonsense, she will be there- Said Damon with mischievous smile to Mrs. Lockwood. I raised an eyebrow and made of my hands two fist. I hated people answer for me. If I said something is because I meant it and because I had reasons to do so.
-Perfect- Said Mrs. Lockwood with a smile and getting on her feet. Suddenly a very handsome guy went through the door. He had an athletic body and deep black eyes.
-Tyler! Come on and meet Kira Adrian. She is our new neighbor- Said Carol with a smile and taking his son by the broad shoulders. Tyler came closer and his eyes set upon me with a smile. He looked at my eyes and something in his deep black eyes told me he was more than meets the eye. Still I took his hand when he offered it to me and answered his smile –Nice to meet you Tyler-.
-Nice to meet you to Kira. I am sorry about your parents- It still pained me to heard that phrase. I guess it was something that will never really heal. Elena gave me a comprehensive look as she had passed threw it herself.
-Thank you Tyler- I felt a gaze burning in my back and that could be no other but Damon. But why does he was looking at me so intensely that I felt his gaze so clear in my back? And why I recognize even the intensity of his gaze?
-You are going to start school with us?- Asked Tyler with a smile and a warm look.
-Yes, I am starting next week. As soon as I get everything ready at home- I answered.
-I just had an excellent idea- Said Carol Lockwood clasping her hands together and her blue eyes shining with agreement –Tyler could be your partner in the Masquerade party tomorrow-.
Tyler raised an eyebrow towards his mom but looked at me with approval. I didn´t knew what to say. I mean I have met him just moments ago and now I was going to a party with him.
But suddenly I felt a strong hand took my by the arm –I am sorry Carol, but I have already asked her to accompany me. You see I have asked her yesterday and I am one of the few people she meet so… - Damon looked at Mrs. Lockwood and then at Tyler with not a very friendly look but a smile that wanted to be warm but just looked more threatening.
-Oh, well. Then I´ll look forward for another opportunity Kira- Said Tyler ignoring Damon and kissing my hand as if we were in the past century.
Mrs. Lockwood didn't liked what she heard but I guess she shared her son´s opinion –Well, I am so glad that you are friend of Damon. He is a really good guy-.
Damon? Good guy? If she considered a vampire with anger management a good guy this woman would end with this town in less than a month. Why does she have that impression of him? I mean it only took a look to see that even doe he was the most handsome person I have ever seen, his attractive didn´t come from being any way near good. He was dangerous and that was what made him in a way irresistible.
"Control yourself, Kira" I scolded myself.
-Well, is been a pleasure Mrs. Lockwood. I guess I have to start to get ready for tonight. Thank you so much- We left the Lockwood's house and Elena wanted me to get ready in her house and then the Salvador's brothers will pick us up. We were going shopping for my whole outfit and of course Damon was out of the plan.
When he dropped us to our house he stopped me a moment. Elena saw that he wanted to talk with me and she entered her house to get her keys to go shopping.
-Tonight we are going to get rid of Kathleen- He said with a serious voice. So he was going to kill her today? –How?- I asked in a whisperer.
-The witch friend of Elena is doing some of her tricks that will help us kill her. But listen to me. I want you to do exactly what I tell you in that masquerade ball. This is dangerous Kira and you don´t know what´s Katherine capable off. So pleas for once in your life do as I say- He looked at me with his deep blue eyes and I really wondered in that moment how would it fell to kiss that man. But I stopped myself immediately. What was I dinking? He was a vampire! He was a player and I should get away from him as fast as I could.
But something held me right where I was –I´ll do what I consider right in the moment- I said staring at him with intensity.
He rolled his eyes and put both hands at the side of my arms –If you don not promise me to do so I´ll lock you in your house and you are out of this. You decide- I raised an eyebrow and turned my gaze away from him with anger.
-Fine! - I said after a moment. I knew that he would keep his word if he said he would lock me in my won house.
-That´s a good girl- He said as unconsciously he passed his had from my arm to my cheek and caressed me softly. His touch was so sexy but get soft it drove me crazy.
-What makes you think I´ll keep my promise anyway?- I asked as I tried to search something to distract him and me.
He frowned and looked at my neck for almost a minute –I guess I am trusting in you- He said as if the words were acid in his mouth. I took a deep breath. I could not break my words now. Not when he looked at me that way.
-See you at night- I said as I heard Elena closed the door of her house behind her.
-Buy something naughty- He said with a mischievous smile. Damon was back. I shook my head –Not in your wildest dreams man-.
And so I went to get ready for my first instruction to the Mystic Falls people, my first party in town, my first masquerade with Damon Salvatore, and my first hunt of vampires.
This was going to be a really long night…
Hope you liked it! Please let me know what to you think! See you…
