Chapter 3
Still gripping her attacker by the throat, Caroline growled, "Okay let's start by you telling me who you are and why you attacked me." "Could you let me breath first?" Caroline didn't realize how tight she was holding him. Letting him go, and waiting for him to catch his breath, Caroline finally said, "Alright, who exactly are you?" "Damon." "Damon…." "Just Damon." "Alright then," Caroline shrugged, "Damon what exactly made you attack me? A simple 'hello' would've been fine." "I thought you'd make a good snack," Damon said with a smirk. "Well obviously that is never ever going to happen, do you understand?" Caroline's bossy side started to come out. "Sure thing. Anyway, now that you know my name, what's yours?" "Caroline." "Caroline…" "Just Caroline." Damon lifted his hands in surrender, backing away, "okay, okay. Nice to meet you Caroline. What were you doing in my woods?" Caroline scoffed, "Your woods?" Damon stepped forward, hoping to challenge her, "Yeah my woods." "If you must know, I was trying to find some dinner." "You're a rabbit eater huh? Had a little bad experience with the vein?" All Caroline wanted to do right now was break this jerks neck, and be gone, but Caroline always loved a challenge. "Actually no. I do it by choice. Unlike some people I could mention I don't resort to scaring innocent girls in the woods and then drinking them dry." Damon took another step, "What makes you think I drink them dry?" "I've been around long enough to know a controlled Vampire and one who simply enjoys the hunt." Damon scoffed, "So you've learned all of this about me in less than 10 minutes?" "Well actually…" Before Damon or Caroline knew it they were inches apart, but Caroline knew better. Before she could get lost in those big blue eyes she turned and started walking away, only to have Damon follow her. "So you say you've been around for a while. If you don't mind my asking, just how old are you?" Caroline turned around on the brink of punching him, didn't this guy have any sense of manners? "Old enough," was all Caroline would say. No way was this guy going to figure out her age, because that's how it always starts, her age then to where she was from, how she turned, who she knew…her train of thought was broken by Damon's chuckle saying, "Oh I'm sorry. I forgot how sensitive ladies are about their age." Caroline, in all of her existence had never met another Vampire as rude this one…well there was another but let's not think of THAT. "So what brings you here to the lovely town of Mystic Falls?" "I don't believe that's any of your business, but as far as I know, no one here knows anything about supernatural creatures. So I won't tell your secret if you don't tell mine. Deal?" Caroline extended her hand toward him, hoping he would just shake it and leave, but no. Damon took her hand and pulled her to him to where he was invading her personal bubble. "Deal," he said with a smirk. Caroline wiggled her way out of his grasp and stormed off.
Her hunger forgotten, she stomped all the way back to her house. Thankfully this Damon person didn't follow her. She would go out again once she had cooled off. 'Stupid black haired, blue eyed..' Caroline was fuming. How dare HE attack her, insult her, and then try to seduce her. And not only that, now if she ever ran into him again, she would have to be extra careful because he knew about her. 'Same could be said for him,' Caroline thought to herself. She was never one to make bargains with vampires but, in this situation, she had no choice.
SO what did you guys think? I know, I threw in some sexual tension in here, but that's just how I perceive Damon. And since THIS Caroline is not fallen to Damon's charms when she first meets him, I thought I'd make their first meeting one where Caroline tells him off basically. Please review and follow! I love those who have followed this story already! Thanks :)
