AN: This one is kinda short. Hopefully it will be worth it though. Thanks again for the reviews :)
With Damon being far away from me, I'm starting to feel sick. My body temperature drops a little bit. My hands become clammy. I wipe them against the denim of my pants in attempts to get rid of the moisture. I honestly don't know what's going on. I'm debating about if I should tell Damon. It could just be a cold though, right? A cool breeze comes in through my open window and the white curtains sway lightly against it. I turn around to start pacing around my room. When I face my window again I see Damon standing there. Immediately my body begins to warm up and a smile comes across my face.
"You don't look so well." Damon says. I hear the genuine concern in his voice.
"Its probably just a cold." I say, shrugging it off.
"No its not. Oh God, I didn't think it would start happening this fast. You're stronger than this, you have to be." I get the feeling that Damon really isn't talking to me at this point but more to himself.
"What's happening Damon?" He must have figured something out. I scan him over and notice the faded red book that he has clenched, knuckles white, in his left hand.
"I know what is happening to you." I wait for Damon to respond. I raise my eyebrows questioningly at him. "Its…um…a connection…" Damon moves the book from each hand, back and forth. I have never seen him like this before. A wave of concern washes over me and I know its not just my emotions. Its like a loud buzzing through my mind and body. I move my right hand up to my temple, pressing my finger tips against it. I close my eyes trying to focus. I open them back up to look at Damon.
"Look you're probably not going to like this, because I sure as hell don't like the repercussions of it. We're connected. Our souls are at least. Somehow they became connected. Everything you're feeling is what I'm feeling also. Its all here in this book. They call it il collegamento di anime. Which is Italian for connection of souls." Damon's voice manages to come out even at the words that he is saying.
My mind stops. I completely stop breathing for a moment. Out of impulse I grab the book out of Damon's hand. I start flipping through the pages looking for major key words. After I get past the part where the vampire visit's the old women, I read about the girl. The girl that he was in love with. It wasn't just the fact that he had entered her mind. That wasn't what made them connected. They were meant to be together. She was his other half.
I'm trying to wrap my head around it. Damon? I'm meant for Damon?
The thought doesn't scare me. Its just not what I was expecting. I mean…I know I have feelings for Damon. I realized that. I wasn't sure where me and him were heading but now I have a much clearer idea.
I keep reading on, biting my lip as I keep thinking about Damon while trying to concentrate on reading the passages. As the pages progress the girl, Adelina gets worse and worse. I notice that some of her symptoms were no different form my own a few moments ago. I keep reading, in hopes that there is a happy ending for them. There isn't though. He wouldn't turn her. He wouldn't save her. The book shuts in my hand as I realize that the same thing will happen to me.
"Damon…I'm scared." I say and I notice that my bottom lips is trembling. I look up into his eyes as mine begin to become hazy from the liquid that is filling them up.
In one swift movement Damon is right in front of me. Damon grabs my waist pulling it into his, his lips crash down on mine. It doesn't take me long to react. I put one hand on his back and the other one moves up through his black hair wrapping my fingers in it, pulling him in closer to me. I can feel a rush coming into my body. I can feel his want and need for me. I kiss him back with as much passion as he is showing me. Showing that I need him too. His lips move fiercely with mine, but are soft against my own. I feel his tongue run across my bottom lip. I part my lips granting him access inside. His tongue moves with mine, everything seems in sync. Damon pulls me closer as the same time that I push myself harder against him. I can't seem to get enough. The fear that I had a moment ago seems to be gone. I can feel my body heating up with desire though. Pure ecstasy runs through my veins as I am entangled in his kiss. I'm completely lost in him. I want to lose myself forever if this is what it means. I've never had just pure raw pleasure come over me.
Damon breaks away from me, resting his forehead against mine as he cups my face in his hands. I look up into his eyes longingly as my breathing is still rapid from his lips touching mine. My heartbeat is still fluttering.
"We'll figure something out, I promise." This time Damon leans down closer to me. His lips hovering barely an inch away from mine. I lean up into him so my lips meet his. The kiss is slow and soft. His lips feel like petals against my own. My heart starts pounding even harder now. The kiss feels like it is enough to break me. Damon sense this and breaks away from me. I can't help but be saddened by it. "I wont let anything happen to you." I believe that he will try to find away but a part of me feels like I will end up the same.
