I was extremely tired as Damon moved and we all stepped inside the house. We stood in the hallway as Damon looked me up and down. "Wow you look like your parents." He said softly. He shook his head and smiled. "I'm Damon Salvator. I knew your parents." I forced a smile and nodded. I let a soft yawn out."Elena could you bring Josie up to...um my room please?" He said smiling. He got a glare back from Elena. "Why your room?" "Because Stefan isn't going to know who she is and it's safer for her." He said starring her down. She nodded and took a bag starting up the stairs. I smiled and waved good by to the group following her.

She led me to a huge room. It was three times the size of my own room. It had a gigantic bed and a built in bathroom. The bathroom had a gorgeous tub and a glass shower. It had two sinks and a huge mirror. The bed was calling my name though. I jumped right on it pulling the blankets back. "Thanks Elena." I said smiling and slowly drifting off to sleep.

I clearly had to explain what was going on. But how did you explain that a fling you hoped lead to you falling for a four year old girl who after what like twelve years shows up at your doorstep because you compelled her to! Dammit Damon you really need to think your plans threw. Oh no how was Elena going to handle this. I mean she's sired to me. I can't tell this girl about what I am and the supernatural. This was a bad idea Damon.

I has snapped back into reality when Caroline began yelling at me for compelling this young girl. How horrible I was for being this upon her, inviting her into the supernatural and not caring. But she was right I was being selfish. I couldn't just leave her though. I don't know why or how but we were connected. Like I had been searching for her my whole life and now I found her. The good in me was her.

I was again brought back to reality when Elena slapped me. I was shocked when I put my hand to my face, not because of the pain but because of the confusion. "What the hell Damon!" She half whispered half yelled at me. "It's a long story." I said running a hand over my face. Elena and Caroline draged me into the living room and sat me down on the couch. Elena poured me a glass of scotch and I took a sip. "It all started when I had a little fling with a women named Amanda before I came here." I began and got eye rolls from all the girls. This was going to be a very long story.

when I was finished I wasn't sure if the girls thought I was insane, a Pervert, or if I was actually capable of feeling and not being selfish. I wasn't too sure to be honest but I didn't care. The silence was awakward so of course Stefan had to walk in. "Hey little brother you just missed story time." I said smiling and pouring myself a forth scotch. I patted his shoulder and head up the stairs as the girls dove in telling my insane love story with a four year old now almost seventeen year old girl who just randomly showed up on my door step with several of the teens in this town I could use a break from. I walked into my room to find the girl, Josie curled up under the blankets. her long blonde hair was a big mess in the pillows and blankets.

I started it brush the hair out of her eyes and behind her ear when she started to move. I stopped and backed up. She was starting to wake up and she was going to be hungry. It was five at night and she was going to need. I went down stairs to the kitchen and started making one of the easiest meals I could think of...tacos.

I was running for my life.

I didn't know where I was going I just sorta kept going. It was an endless darkness with the sounds of laughter and shoes hitting the pavement. I was breathing heavily and my heart was pumping. I need to breath. In through the nose out through the mouth, like my mom taught me when I would have panic attacks or asthma attacks. Something grabbed me and I turned around. I saw Damon then blackness.

complete blackness was all I saw for what felt like a very long time. Then the dream I always had. The one where I just saw eyes. It was the weirdest thing. It started with just red eyes and black veins then a vibrent yellow then whitish grey and finally one lavender and one baby blue eye.

I woke up covered in sweat, my throat completely dry and hoarse, I was saying a name I couldn't pay attention to, and Damon sitting next to me gripping both my arms shaking me violently.

"what the hell Josie! You were screaming my name. You were basically trying to get away. I had to give you baby shaking syndrome to wake you up." I wiped my face feeling the hot burning tears forming behind my eyes."I keep having bad dreams. It started with just seeing eyes, red with black veins, yellow, greyish white, and finally one lavender and one baby blue eye. I don't know why. The second dream I have, which is Usually the first one I see now is me running in darkness hearing laughter and then...well you grab me and it turns black. I never see the ending and what happens." I couldn't take holding the tears in. I collided with Damon's side and let the tears flow.

"hey it's okay now. I made tacos. There down stairs, might wanna hurry before everyone eats them." I was sitting up and running down the stairs. It wasn't a. Inhuman run but it was a prett. Fast runn. "Sorry I like tacos." I said smiling back at Damon as I head for the kitchen. I grabbed a plate and loaded up my taco, sour cream, meat, cheese, tomatoes, lettuces, and salas. I rolled it up and devoured it and started a second on the same way and eating it faster then I ran. "Sorry I like tacos!" I said wiping my mouth and smiling up at the faces. The all looked at me with shock but Damon just smiled. "Hey I like a girl who can eat." He said gaining a punch from Caroline. "Josie this is Stefan!" Caroline said pointing to the boy to her left. He was slightly pale and had light brown hair and brown eyes. I smiled and waved making yet another taco.

when I finished Damon said I could shower in his bathroom and take my time. I smiled and nodded my thanks. I grabbed a pair of pjs from my bag and my toilette and went for the beautiful bathroom. I took a shower like I always did I washed my hair and body well singing the numirous songs I had memorized in my head, Highway to Hell, Don't Fear the Reaper, ect. I was a classics kinda girl.

Once I was finish with the shower I decided I would enjoy this time and take a nice bath. I filled the tub up adding bubbles and I put on my home made face mask clipping my hair up. I got into the bath feeling like a kid again. I relaxed and sat back driffting off. I slowly for got about everything and spaced out.

when I came back to reality I was coughing up water and Damon was holding me well I was naked. It was stupid but I was feeling extremely self conscious right now. I could have died and he's seen me naked, I was more afraid of the later! "What the hell Josie!" I blushed and shrugged.

he left me to dry off and change. I brushed my teeth blow dried my hair and washed my face. I was dreading the whole suicide possibly speech. "Okay Damon I-" he grabbed my arms looked me in the eyes and said "don't do that again!" I nodded and he smiled. "Okay you can take my bed and I'll sleep on the little couch." I was embarrassed but asked, "um is it possible for you to sleep in the bed with me. I mean you'd stay on top of the covers. It's just since the dreams started I've always had my cat and dog in the bed, but you can't really bring them on a six hour plain ride, three hours on a bus an hour and a half on a train and half an hour in a cab so." I said blushing. He nodded as I crawled into the bed pulling the blankets over me. He climbed on to the bed bring a throw blanket with him. I smiled and turned so I wasn't facing him and drifted off.

that night the only dream I had was me running through the forest. I was happy and smiling. I had flowers in my hair and a beautiful blue dress on. It was an amazing dream. I was running into a huge meadow and just layed down on the grass and someone layed down next to me. It was Damon. He turned and looked at me and smiled brushing hair out of my face. He placed a gentle kiss to me cheek and I began blushing. I looked up at the sky and my eyes weren't their usual blue color. One eye was baby blue the other lavender.

I woke up gasping for breath. Damon was turning to me in a flash. "Josie what was that?" He asked just as confused as I was. I wiped my face. "I don't know Damon."
