RANDOM WORD: RELUCTANT
"I really don't want to do this Damon."
He fought the urge to sign in irritation and continued to make his way through the woods, mindful of fallen branches or raised roots that might trip up the Mystic Falls resident witch.
"You never want to do anything with me."
"Can you blame me?" She asked as she avoided a particularly nasty looking puddle with her favorite boots. "Every time someone goes anywhere with you they end up dead.
Or fed on." She ducked a spider web as they continued.
"Not always." He could practically feel her eyes widening in disbelief. "Alright, alright, always, but you don't have to worry about that."
"Why, because I could blast you into the next county?" She teased.
"No," he turned to face her. "Because if I kill you or piss you off you won't help me."
"Uh," she forced her way past him. "If I have to hear about your undying love for Kath-a-whore one more time I swear, I'm going to like do myself in right now."
"Kath-a-whore? That's not very nice little witch and here I was thinking you were all innocent and nice and all about forgiveness."
"I never said that." He face scrunched in disapproval. "In fact, I think where you and Miss Katherine are concerned forgiveness is not in the equation."
"Good," he continued behind her. "Makes all this so much more like a business transaction. Keeps emotion out of it."
She continued marching through the trees humming softly. He forced the dread he felt as they neared their destination flare annoyingly to life in the pit of his stomach. He forced it aside. Keep emotion out of it.
