I struggled, tried to punch, kick, bite, anything to get this person off of me, I scratched at the hand around my stomach, though my stubby little nails did nothing to the skin, I inwardly cursed myself for not listening to my dad when he told me not to bite my nails.
"Get off me!" I screamed, though my voice was muffled by the rough hand clamped over my mouth, I was beginning to find it hard to breathe as it covered most of my nose too, to top that off I was facing in the direction of Damon who was picking himself off of my car, pulling shards of glass from his body as if they were nothing but fabric, I watched in morbid fascination as each small cut seemed to close over, like a sped up version of those science 'human body' films we used to watch back in England, where they showed us the sped up version of a wound closing over, only no scab formed on Damons wound, nothing but the same smooth skin that had been there before, save for the dried smears of blood. I struggled as Damon hit my car again, he was thoroughly losing, I saw that the other guy was saying something but I couldn't hear from my position, from the way my captor chuckled though, I guessed that he could. I noticed Damon glance my way as he stood again, his face was still deformed, changed, but I could see him in there, behind his eyes, black as night, there was some kind of emotion, fear? Disappointment? Anger?
"Stop struggling," my captor hissed in my ear, "You wont get anywhere."
I ignored him and scratched at his hands, his hand wrapped around my mouth moved to my neck, crushing me closer to the body behind me, and squeezing lightly.
"I don't want to hurt you yet," the voice said, "I have my orders, but I will if you keep struggling."
"What do you want?" I gasped.
"Salvatore was right, you do ask a lot of questions don't you." My eyes widened, how long had they been around? How much had they seen?
"I gotta say," the voice said, as if he'd read my mind, "I thought that your little cavorting in the river was very cute, Damon seems very enamoured with you."
"What do you want from me?" I repeated, choking on my words slightly as his hand tightened around my neck.
"I, personally would love your blood, but, the boss says that we need to make an example of you, a warning to Salvatore if you will."
My mind was reeling and my head felt thick and heavy, though that was probably from the lack of oxygen, my vision was blurring, I didn't know if I was crying or about to pass out, probably both, I could see Damon and the other man fighting still and was vaguely surprised that no one had won or lost yet, then again how long did vampires fight for. Vampires. It sounded crazy even thinking it, but crazy as it was it was also the most plausible explanation I could think of, their faces were different, Damon was almost impossibly beautiful, though I wasn't sure if it was some Twilight thing that they had to be, or if he just looked like that anyway, my captor had said he wanted my blood and there had been numerous attacks in Mystic falls, bushed off as animal attacks, my dad included. My dad and maybe myself, it explained the bite marks I had on my neck and shoulder, maybe one had gotten to me, Damon? Or someone else. I couldn't bring myself to imagine Damon biting me, he seemed so nice, yet I could see him there, his face animalistic and terrifying, moving and fighting with inhuman speed.
Vampires. It all made sense, in a kind of, supernatural, things that go bump in the night kind of way.
I groaned as my head got even lighter, too much thinking and a… vampire, clamped on your neck hardly made for he best feeling in the world.
I felt my body growing heavier, didn't he realise I couldn't breathe? Or maybe I was meant to die this way, maybe this is what he meant my 'make an example of me', not that it would affect Damon, why would Damon care?
I hit the floor with a thud, landing on my hands and knees, coughing spluttering, welcoming sweet air into my lungs, savouring the release I felt as I began to breathe properly again. "Get Kaye and get out!" I heard a familiar voice yell before soft hands began to grapple around my shoulders and pull me up from the ground. My eyes met wide, frightened brown ones, familiar, I couldn't wrap my head around it and felt dizzy at my sudden lunge from the ground.
"Kaye, Kaye!" I heard, the voice was muffled, like I had cotton in my ears, though I think it was actually the blood rushing around my head. "Kaye! We have to go."
My eyes focused in and I recognised the newcomer as Elena, I turned back to the scene and saw Stefan running towards Damon and the other guy, too fast to be human, "Where is he?" I cried, glancing around, "Where's the other one?"
"He's gone!" Elena tugged at my hand, "Stefan killed him! It's over let's go!"
"We're leaving him?" I asked, meaning to say 'them' instead my mouth forming 'him' as in Damon, he wasn't exactly looking too good.
"Stefan will help! They'll be fine" She ran, dragging me with her, in the same direction Damon and I had gone not long before, into the woods, whipping through the trees, panting, my legs were heavy, my head hurt, my neck was still throbbing and I thought I was going to be sick, I wrenched my hand from hers and tumbled to the floor, hand on my head, "Kaye! We have to keep going!"
"I cant" I panted, "I hurt, I cat breathe properly, just let me sit."
Elena, looking pretty shattered herself, in the same clothes she had worn to school that day, sunk to the floor next to me, panting heavily, "Are you okay?" she asked quietly, obviously feeling awkward, "Did he bite you?"
"Who?"
"Damon." I frowned and shook my head, leaning it back against the tree, shaking it again as she asked if anyone else had, I swallowed "Vampires."
"Yeah"
"Are real."
"Yeah" She looked at me, I kept my eyes raised above me, "It took me a while to get used to the idea as well."
"Damon.."
"And Stefan." she added, "That's why we told you to stay away from Damon, he's not known for letting people live, he's not a good guy."
"Well he didn't exactly seem like a bad guy when he was saving my life back there!" I snapped, immediately apologizing for being so rude she had gotten me out of there after all.
"It's okay." she smiled, placing her hand on my arm, "You're bleeding"
"Yeah, someone threw a rock in my car window, then Damon went all … vampire on me, yelled at me to run and then those others appeared out of no where." I gulped, vampire, I was finding it hard to say out loud.
"He told you to run?"
"Yeah, took a step back, then went all kung fu on the other guy."
Elena frowned, like she was finding it hard to digest what had happened.
"Kaye." she said finally, "I don't know, what's been happening between the two of you," I knew immediately that she meant Damon, "but, just because he saved you today, doesn't make him a good person. The Damon that you've probably seen and the Damon he really is, are two completely different people."
"Arrogant, self assured, cocky, rude." I listed, ticking it off of my hand finger by finger, smiling slightly at the look of amusement on her face, before she abruptly turned serious again.
"Okay, maybe not totally different, but you need to know, he only cares about himself and his own well being. If it doesn't suit him then he doesn't do it."
I frowned, unable, or unwilling to believe her, how did saving me suit him in anyway, how did anything he had done, like helping my father, suit him in anyway.
"Kaye, you have to stay away from him, you know why now, once he's tasted your blood, he wont stop, do you understand me?"
"What do you mean tasted my blood?" I asked, confused, Damon had never bitten me had he?
"I mean, just that, I don't know, it's all a game to him."
She was lying. Which was strange. As far as I knew Elena was a very truthful person.
"What do we do now?" I asked, that being the only thing I could think to ask, because it was really the only thing I wanted to know, what do you do once you hear a piece of news like that? People you know, your friends, were the living dead, immortals, drank human blood.
"Dinner, at yours, remember?" Elena said, as if it were the last thing she wanted to do right now. Oh crap, I did remember, I'd invited Elena, Bonnie, Caroline and Stefan over to mine for tea tonight, after my dads suggestion, unfortunately Caroline already had other plans with Matt, so it would just be the other three, Elena, Bonnie and a vampire. Inside my house. Damon. He'd been inside my house before. But he didn't want to kill me! Neither did Stefan, so it should be okay.
"Oh yeah." I sighed, "Maybe I can find an excuse to get us all out of it?"
"Stefan wouldn't allow that, he's all for the normal teenager experiences, we tried a double date with Matt and Caroline at his insistence, it was a nightmare."
I laughed, it seemed ridiculous that we should be talking about such normal things when just minutes ago, I'd found out that something I had always believed to be myth were in fact real and here in the town I lived in.
"Aren't you worried?" I asked, "About Stefan?"
"Of course, but the amount of times those guys have fought other vampires, as much as they hate each other, you know that they've always got each others backs, together, they're pretty much unstoppable." she said, so much pride evident in her voice.
I crossed my arms and said, "So what do we do now, right this minute I mean?"
"Now, we get you home and try and think of some excuse for your car being destroyed." she replied, standing and holding out a hand to help me up. "Come on." she said, We're gonna make this okay."
Kaye's not too Mary Sueish is she?
