Chapter 16- It started out fine.
Summary: I knew he was going to kill me, This was Damon Salvatore, this could never end well and yet I couldn't stay away, the truth is, I didn't want to. Damon/OC
I literally just pulled an all nighter to watch the Lost finale! Only because Ian somerhalder was in it! Basically, in England we watched it on a live feed from you guys in America to stop illegal downloads and viewings so where t was like 9pm for you guys it was 5am-7.30am for me, all nighter. Phew I'm tired. But I also cant sleep so I'm updating! =] Hope you enjoy!
P.S, He had what? Two scenes? Jeez! Though I thought the ending was beautiful! =]
Tuesday, after school, I had the surprise of my life. Okay, maybe not 'of my life' but I was surprised nonetheless when I made my way to the parking lot, almost fifteen minutes later than everybody else, due to a lost book and came face to face with Damon, leaning on the hood of my car and smirking.
"Damon," I stated stupidly, "What are you doing here?"
"Leaning against this car."
"My car."
"Oh? Really?"
"Wait a minute. Did Stefan see you out here?"
"No, I only arrived a few minutes ago."
"So, how did you know I would be late?"
"Insurance." he smirked holding up the text book I'd been searching for since the last bell had rang, I gasped, grabbing the book from his hold and storing it in my bag.
"You stole it from my locker?"
He smirked in response, "I cant believe you" I mumbled.
"Lets go somewhere" he stated.
"What?"
"Lets. Go. Somewhere." he repeated slower than before.
"No, I heard you the first time, I just, where?"
"Walk with me, wherever our feet take us." I frowned, grinned at the pleading look on his handsome face and shrugged, "We'll have to come back for my car."
"Not a problem"
"Lead the way, Oh wise one." the Adonis before me grinned and grabbed my closest hand, dragging me forward like an excited puppy, across the empty road and into the woods opposite the school. I laughed, almost running to keep pace with him. Why was he in such a hurry?
"Where are we going?" I asked, pushing a branch away from my face as it scratched along my cheek, "You seem to be pretty determined, you have a destination in mind?"
I stumbled over a root, and sighed in relief as he caught my arms and steadied me and I was acutely aware of my hand, still safely cocooned in his.
"Where are we going?" I gasped again as I caught my foot on another branch but managed to steady myself without help. Where the hell were we going? Why the hell was I following someone I barely knew and had been warned away from on numerous occasions deep into the woods? Why was he still holding my hand?
"We're here." he said, pushing though some plush branches and stepping onto a clearer plane. I drew out a long breath, as I too stepped through the bushes and into the clearing, still aware of my hand in his and how good it felt. How somehow it seemed… right.
"Wow," I said finally, "That water looks beautiful."
"Go take a closer look" he suggested, and when I didn't move he said , "Don't you want to."
"You're still holding my hand" I replied, feeling my cheeks warm under his gaze, feeling far too disappointed than was a good idea when his eyes moved to our entwined hands and he dropped mine immediately, like he hadn't noticed and I had some sort of disease or something. I couldn't let him see the disappointment that I could feel etched into my face so I made my way towards the river, that I hadn't even known existed in this part of the woods. The water looked clear, shining and refreshing, and tonight had been a hot day, it couldn't hurt to just dip my toe in, I slid my shoes off and leaned over slightly, hoping to reach down to the water without tripping, but of course, being me, it couldn't go well.
I let out a shriek as my other foot slipped at the same time that I heard Damon call, "You should be careful."
The water was cold, much colder than I had imagined, I et my clothes grow saturated and heavier and my hands and knees hit the bottom of the river bed as it wasn't too deep, I rushed to the surface, gulping in oxygen and spitting water from my nose and mouth. I heard a chuckle above me, and looked up to see Damon grinning down at me, "I told you to be careful." he stated, his face smug.
"Ha-ha" I said sarcastically, "Help me out, this water is freezing."
"I don't know. I like the view, you're good with the whole see through shirt thing."
"Damon." I groaned, feeling my cheeks burn again, damn my pale skin.
"Here" he grinned, planting his feet steadily and reached a hand towards me, I gripped him tightly, taking in his broad chest above me, covered in a thin grey t- shirt that rode up over his stomach as he pulled me up. As I'd planted my feet firmly on the edge I reversed the weight and pulled as hard as I could. I hadn't expected it to work but I must have caught him off guard as he flew over me and hit the water with a loud splash, leather coat, shoes and all. I fell in again after but it was worth it.
Hi face as he pushed through the surface was angry and for a few moments I felt a flicker of fear, but then I took in the way the shirt flattened over his muscles, his hair matted to his face, falling this way and that, not its usual styled way and laughed.
"That wasn't very nice Kaye" he growled, and I laughed harder, backing away as he advanced until my back hit the river wall I'd just moments ago pulled him in from. I felt my breath catch as he advanced, yes focused on mine. Was he going to kiss me? Of course he wouldn't! But then, would it be so bad if he did? No. I didn't think it would be bad at all.
My skin tingled violently as placed a hand on my forearm and ran it from there to my shoulder, over my neck, the faded bite marks seemed to sting slightly, tingle just a bit more than other areas, as his hand ran over them.
I wasn't sure if his face was getting closer or if it was just the way he had angled himself over me, other hand pressed against the wall above my head.
I was sure he was moving closer when, "Hey guys!"
I saw Damons jaw clench, eyes close and I heard his growl as he turned towards the voice in a slush of water. Then I noticed his body tense before me, from my position I couldn't see who the new arrivals were and I didn't recognise the voice, though I knew it was female.
"What are you doing here?" Damon asked.
"We saw you walking through and I wanted to say hello, I really wanted to meet your new girlfriend."
"She's not my girlfriend" he said, too quickly and I had to hold in the saddened sigh, the words produced.
"Well are you gonna let me meet her or what?"
"We had a deal." Damon growled, this growl was different, angry and menacing.
"I'm not breaking any deal." the newcomer stated, calmly, unaffected by the obvious anger in his voice, I don't know how she was so calm, I was feeling scared and it wasn't even aimed at me. What deal were they talking about? I stretched, trying to see over his shoulder, but saw nothing, the guy was just too damned tall.
Was she an ex girlfriend, maybe he had told her to stay away from his new… conquests? Was I a conquest? Who was she? I tried to step around him but he placed a firm hand on my arm, much rougher than he had been just minutes before. There was nothing about this that would lead to a kiss, no this was a warning.
"Come on Damon." the girl whined.
"Leave Anna." he stated, firmly and finally, indicating that there was to be no more discussion. I frowned, this was all too weird. Who in the hell was Anna? Where had I heard that name before?
"Fine! I'll leave! I'll see you around Kaye!" I saw Damon's jaw clenching as he turned back towards me, and said, "We have to go."
"Who was she?"
"Now, get out over there, lets go" there was an urgency in his voice that made it impossible to disobey him. One we were both out, he grabbed my hand again, as I slipped on my shoes and whispered, "Stay close by me." This time when he dragged me in the opposite direction there was nothing fun or romantic about it, instead his hand clenched mine too tightly, I could almost hear the bones grinding together. His pace was even faster than before and I was pretty much at a run to keep up. We'd made it back to my car in record time and I asked, "Damon? What's wrong? Who was she?"
"Kaye, listen to me. You've got to go home, do home work or something, just don't go out, don't let anyone in."
"Damon, what are you talking about?"
"Do you ever stop asking questions?" he snapped, making me jump, throwing my bag into the car that he had unlocked with my keys that I hadn't realised he'd had, being too preoccupied with my questions.
"I, I, I'm sorry, I, I just, You're scaring me, I need to know what's happening." I stammered, eyes wide.
He ran a hand through his still wet hair and stared down at me, "I cant explain Kaye, you're not safe."
"Damon?" I felt the piercing pain in my arm before I noticed anything else, it was burning, then, I noticed my car window, the glass flying outwards and inwards in shards, the heavy looking rock sat peacefully on the passenger seat. I winced as I pulled a few shards from my forearm, grimacing as I saw the blood. Then I noticed that Damon had taken a step back and seemed to be holding his breath.
"What the hell?" I mumbled, "Did someone just throw a rock at my window? Who did that?" I vaguely noticed I was asking questions again, but I was too angry about my car.
"Damon? You okay?" I asked, noticing he still hadn't moved. I muffled a scream with my hand as his hand shot forward, too quick for me to have seen it and gripped my bloodied arm roughly. His face changed, paler, the weird lack veins had returned and his teeth looked like they'd grown a few centimetres, almost like fangs. I felt my breath catch. What was he?
"Run." he growled, ripping his attention from me and glancing towards the edge of the lot, where a man I had never before seen in my life stood, he looked slightly mixed race, with dark close cropped hair and a moustache and small beard.
His face might have been handsome, had it not been like Damon's, creased and veiny, fan like teeth bared.
"Run!" Damon roared, pushing me roughly towards the school, I stumbled towards the school entrance, praying that it was open, I had no idea what was happening but I was terrified, their faces were not right, they were animalistic, dangerous, I was in danger and when faced with the choice of fight or flight, every time I would chose flight.
I reached the doors and cried out loud when they wouldn't budge, "Dammit!" I turned back to Damon who was running at the other man with impossible speed. They collided and I was reminded fleetingly of that baseball scene in Twilight, except there was no fun in this, no joy, there was only urgency and fear and impending pain.
I saw Damon's body lift off of the ground, into the air and straight back into the windscreen of my car, glass shattering beneath his body. I gasped, wondering what to do, do I keep running? Where to? Do I try and help him?
I decided on the latter, not that I would be able to do much against a guy who had just thrown Damon so far, but I could at least try, my father didn't call me reckless for nothing. I took a step forward, but got no further as an arm wrapped around my stomach, the other clasping over my mouth, I felt my feet lift off of the floor and screamed.
