AN: Thank god for window's recovery. I might have by accident shut down the computer in the middle of this chapter with my foot. So did anyone else go to the midnight premier of Eclipse? I would like to say as a fan of the series for five years now that I felt like, I don't know how to put it exactly but something was wrong with it. I liked some parts but I didn't like others. Small disappointment honestly. The Jacob Bella kiss was hot though but then again so was the one where Bella and Edward were rolling around in the bed. Oh and I don't like the actress that replaced Rachelle for Victoria, failure. Her voice was too sweet, she didn't have like that edge. Plus I was expecting a bigger fight scene at the end. Oh and the whole time that I was sitting there, there was this girl on the other side of my boyfriend and she kept touching him and talking to him. Then she stood up and told my boyfriend "Come on, stand up." And she fucking held out her hands towards him and I put my arm across him and looked up at her and said "No, he's sitting down." Then after that she kept touching him and I was piiiiiiissed. Through the whole movie she was the loudest person laughing then she would clap really excitedly at random parts then start bouncing in her chair and I was like, fuck I'm excited too but stfu. Then after the movie the people that were on the side sitting next to me were like "OMG that bitch was crazy!" and I was like "Iknowright?" That was all before the movie started because I got there at 8:30. So far I have like New Moon the best. Anyways so if you guys saw the movie tell me what you think about it in a review because I'm curious if I'm the only one that was disappointed with parts of it. OH SEASON TWO STARTS SEPTEMBER 9TH!(YAY!)
Time seems to slow down as my eyes adjust to the movements. The dark grey hair of the wolf is pushing back against the wind, I watch him as his mouth opens wide enough for all of his teeth to show. I can hear the growl ripping through his chest. His large paws are extended out in front of him, ready to land. His body is graceful, quick, just like my own.
The wolf is quick but I notice that Damon is faster. His body slides easily underneath the wolf who is still lunging through the air. I hear the soft impact of its paws against the ground. Damon is already in another stance as the wolf is quickly repositioning himself for another attack. His face is stern, his eyes are still the same ice blue still unaffected by change. This time the wolf runs against the ground, picking up pace with each step. Damon stands still, waiting for the wolf to get closer. With each step I grow a little more worried, worried that this creature might actually hurt him. The leaves on the ground are moving furiously as they are being blown by the air being created by their bodies moving so quickly. I can hear other movements among the trees, easily enough for me to tell that its small animals startled by the noise.
The wolf goes for a small lunge this time, I take in a sharp unneeded breath waiting in anticipation for the scream as the wolf goes to sink his teeth into Damon's cold flesh. The scream doesn't come though. Just as the wolf's teeth are about to rip into Damon's abdomen I see him jump over the wolf, quickly doing a flip and landing behind him.
I look over at Damon to see that his left arm is in front of his body in a protective way with his knuckles clenched into a fist. This time his eyes are dark, filled with a burning animosity. His pale features under his eyes are now red. The veins there are protruding, flowing with blood. I can still feel my own mouth pulled back as I am watching this wolf. The blood that is flowing through my body is getting warmer, heating up with the anger that is building inside of me. I can feel the anger rising up in Damon from our connection, just fueling mine even more.
The wolf connects with Damon, his body pushing into his arm. Damon's shoes dig into the soft earth pushing back against it. Their bodies connecting make a noise like cement cracking. Loud and rough. With all of his force I see his arm that was out in front of him push against the wolf sending it flying backwards. The back of the wolf hits hard against one of the trees, causing the tree to splinter in half. The noise of the crack is loud to my ears causing me to wince in pain for a moment.
His body is limp falls against the ground causing loose soil to fly up in the air around him, dead leaves now caught in his fur. Damon and I both stand there for a moment waiting for the wolf to jump back up. Nothing happens. I move a little bit closer. Time seems to speed up all of a sudden. I can hear a change happening in the wolf as all of his fur disappears. The once large body of the wolf is changing into that of a human, becoming significantly smaller. The body is still muscular but no where near the size it just was. I can tell that whoever it belongs to must still be young, more around my own age.
Damon is right next to me as we both continue to move closer to the body on the ground. I know that he isn't dead, I can see his chest rising rapidly and hear his heart beat match the movements. His face is turned away from us, just his jet black hair is all that I can see. Damon leans down next to the body, turning the head.
I'm stunned for a moment by the features that I know so well from a face that I have seen many times. His face is still chiseled, his bone structure as one of his better qualities.
"Isn't this the mayor's kid?"
"Tyler." My voice is nothing but a whisper but I know that Damon can hear it as loud as if I were normally talking.
"Well that explains why Lockwood was down in the basement during the Founder's Day celebration." Damon's hand lets go of Tyler's face, his head rolling back in the position that it was in.
"I forgot that Tyler's dad was down there. I haven't really been paying attention to anything that has been going on in Mystic Falls." I feel a little bit guilty. I've been focusing all of my attention on Damon and every once and a while letting it slip towards the rest of the world.
"It wasn't something that you needed to be worrying about, you've been going through a lot lately." His voice is reassuring but I know that I can't live in my own world forever.
"I know but now there are really a lot of other pressing issues at hand and I have just been letting you take care of them by yourself." I feel my face change back, where Damon's already had a few moments ago. I feel the threat from Tyler completely gone now that he is changed back into his human form.
"I know. Mrs. Lockwood has stepped in as an interim Mayor. I plan on rejoining the council to see what we can solve and also to see how I can use them to my advantage against you-know-who." I find it a little silly how Damon just referred to Katherine but smile at him non the less.
"You know if she was lurking around I'm pretty sure she could piece together what that meant."
"I know but they do it in Harry Potter all the time and I wanted to try it out. Not as cool as it sounds." Damon stands up from inspecting Tyler's body but I can't help laughing. He has the oddest pop culture references sometimes. "Come on lets get back to the boarding house. You've had too much excitement for the night."
"We're just going to leave him here?" I ask motioning towards Tyler's body feeling sympathetic even after the attack.
"He's fine, he'll heal fast. I'm not letting a newly changed werewolf any closer to the house let alone inside." I understand Damon's reasoning behind it but I still feel bad for leaving him out here. "Run as fast as you can back to the house, I'll be with you."
I don't respond to his words. Instead I run against the earth, the dirt soft against my bare feet. The rest of the world slowing down as I keep running. I leap gracefully over a branch on the ground, making it unbelievably easy to not trip now. The dirt goes in between my toes as it touches the ground again. Before I know it I can feel the moist grass from the front lawn of the house. I grab my shoes quickly then rush into the kitchen door, Damon shutting it behind us.
I lean against the cold of the white kitchen wall, sighing for a moment as I run my hand through my wind blown long hair. "Is it possible that everything that I have ever thought was just a scary dream or a story is actually true?" I ask looking up at Damon who is heading towards the fridge.
"That depends on how far out there you are planning on thinking." Damon reaches into the fridge grabbing a bag of blood then ripping open the top with his fingers. I can feel that his body is weak after the fight, letting out so much exertion and strength. "I mean if you're thinking like big foot or aliens then no, those things aren't real."
"I mean like what else is there, I didn't realize how much of a different world this is. I mean there's us, and werewolves plus witches are real. I just want to know what I should be prepared for."
"I don't think that anyone can ever be fully prepared Elena."
"You fought off that wolf easily enough." Damon pauses, his back toward me as he is heating up a mug of blood. I can hear his thoughts flashing fast through his mind, too fast for me to pick through. I scrunch up my brows in frustration.
"It is the second time that I have encountered one." His voice is low. The images from that night go blurring through his mind. Damon strolling in a dimly light park with a pretty blonde haired girl, using his natural charms on her. The wolf jumping quickly from behind the large bushes that lined the sidewalk as the girl ran out of the park back towards the main streets. The images start to blur by even faster as the wolf starts attacking Damon, its teeth sinking into his flesh tearing him apart with his blood spilling on the newly paved white sidewalk. I wince as I try not to see anymore of it.
"It was in Paris in the 1940s. I was out doing what I normally do, causing turmoil, destruction and anguish upon lives and mostly Stefan's. I was out in a park one night with a girl that I had just picked up from a wine bar. The wolf could smell me of course, this one was more experienced and older than Tyler is now, he knew how to fight. I didn't even know of their existence until then. I couldn't fight back, I had no chance of winning, the wolf that night was a lot stronger than me."
"What happened?" I ask as Damon turns around to face me, the warm blood wafting through the air.
"Another vampire showed up, one a lot older than anyone I have ever met. She was stronger than anyone I had ever seen either. She could smell the wolf when she was crossing paths by the park. She was able to take care of the wolf with ease. By that point though I was already badly injured."
"What was her name?" I don't know why out of everything that Damon just told me that I am the most interested in her name. I guess in some way it is a part of jealousy of the fact that Damon has always been with other women. I try to close off my mind to that aspect though, not wanting Damon to hear it.
"Her name was Lilith." The voice does not come from Damon who is standing across from me with his mouth open as he was ready to speak.
The voice is one I know though. The voice is one that I would be able to pick out in a crowd of people. The voice is one that used to say the words 'I love you' to me.
"Stefan."
