That night I had a peaceful sleep. I thought I did anyway. My alarm clock went off and I rolled over and hit it to shut it off. But when I went to roll over I rolled onto someone. I thought I rolled onto The kitty or puppy but when I opened my eyes I saw a half naked Damon laying underneath me. "Hi." He said smiling up and waving. "Um hi? Why are you in my bed underneath me?" I asked rolling off of him and wrapping in a blanket. "Oh um you were calling my name in the middle of the night calling my name out so I came in and you were asleep so I just tried covering you with the blanket and you grabbed my arm so I had no choice. I mean you have a strong grip for a sixteen year old girl. And for the half naked part I sleep in my sweatpants so.." I smiled at him and grabbed his arm flipping him onto his back. "That's extremely sexist Damon. I mean girls can be strong too right. My dad taught he everything from fishing, to fighting, to loading and shooting a gun, I'm a lethal weapon within myself." I said grinning keeping him pinned down. But just as fast as I pinned him he rolled me over pinning my arms and legs down. "Yeah well I had a little brother who liked to bite, and a dad who loved to hunt too. Plus I got into a lot of fights." He said smirking as he rolled off the bed.

I followed getting of the bed and wrapping myself in a bathrob. "I'm gonna take Daisy for a run." I said stretching and grabbing a pair of running shorts and a tanktop. "Don't you have to get to school?" He said turning to stand in my doorway. "It's like 4 in the morning Damon. I think ill be fine running, showering, eating and getting to school on time." I said pulling my long thick hair up into a messy bun and throwing on a headband. "Fine but I'm running with you." I agreed and we got ready meeting down stairs. He was in grey sweatpants and a black tee shirt. I was in a black tank top with colorful and matching running shorts and sneakers.

We ate healthy breakfast sandwiches I use to make at home, eggs with ham and cheese on whole wheat english muffins. I whistled for Daisy and put on her purple leash and collar And we were off. It started as a slow jog and once we got use to it and Daisy woke up a little it turned into a slow run and then we got competitive. We ran as fast as we could. One of us would get ahead and the other would catch up and back and forth. It was a little over two miles, we must have ran all around town. I obviously got home first, only by a second though. We laughed and I brought Daisy out to the back yard, putting her in he replay area so she wasn't stuck in the house all day.

i went up stairs and showered, then got ready for school. I was beyond nervous. Yes I was starting new, I could be anyone. I just wanted to be me, but who was I. I knew who I was. I was strong and independent and a flower child and a rock and roll rebel and I am currently having a mental breakdown and talking to myself in front of a mirror. I wiped my hands over my face and did my make up. I took forever to do my hair and pick out my outfit.

i looked myself over once in the mirror. My was curled and in a loose messy bun with a braid on the side. I did a smokey cat eye and my eyelashes were beyond long. I wore a strappy floral dress and wedges with a jean jacket over it. I pulled on my bangals and looked in the mirror. "You got this Josie. You look incredible and your strong and intelligent. Your gonna kick butt today." I said to myself fixing my lip gloss and trying to give myself a pep talk. "Yeah you are." Damon said standing standing in my doorway acting like a creepier. I smiled and blushed. "Uh thanks." He nodded and said, "We should head out because you have to take placement test and stuff to get you into classes." I smiled and nodded grabbing my black leath studded backpack and my suede fringed cross body handbag that Caroline said she loooooved.

i grabbed an apple passing through the kitchen. I went to walk out the door but Damon stopped me pointing to my bag. My handbag was unzipped and Salem popped his head out. I pulled him out and ran upstairs placing him in to the caged off area.

i headed down stairs and hopped outside into Damon's car. We drove off to the school and I waved to the group of seniors I saw the other day. we sat in the waiting room of the main office. I was beyond nervous and Damon could tell. I was bouncing my leg incredible fast. I had my hands in my lap and he reached over and squeezed my hand reassuringly, I smiled and they called my name. I went into an empty class room with one teacher who looked extremely old and rude. I sat down and took out my purple pencil. I began the test.

It felt like it took forever but really only took me two hours to complete five subject tests. I went back to the main office and waited the next hour and a half for my results. it was lunch time so the lady sitting at the desk gave Damon and i visitor passes to get lunch. I got a salad with strawberries and buffalo chicken with blue cheese dressing and a vanilla cupcake with frosting and sprinkles and a bottle of water. He got a grilled cheese and some grease fries and a coke. "That looks gross." I aid sticking my tongue out at his tray. "This is the best food on earth." He replied smiling. "I like food from the earth." He smiled and eyed my cupcake. "Okay well you can't live on carrots and strawberries as snacks and cupcakes and amazing!" I said feeling like a little kid. He smiled and we enjoyed our lunch sitting outside at a small table.

Before we left Caroline and Elena found us. They wished me good luck but Elena kept giving me the evil eye. She kissed Damon and took off. I was completely surprised but stayed silent. We headed back to the main office and they had my schedule ready. I was in US History II, AP English, Chemistry, Algebra II, and Portuguese III. They told me I could start my classes tomorrow and gave me a copy of the schedule with all my lunches and my locker number and combination. I headed to my locker and put books and my pictures of my parents and Daisy and Salem up. I smiled and walked out to Damon's car. It was almost two so we just waited for Elena and her brother who lived with us. We sat on the hood of the car in dead silence.

"So your probably wondering why I was calling your name out I'm the middle of the night?" I asked out of no where. "Um actually I'm wondering why you took Portuguese." he said smiling. I laughed saying, "my great grandmother spoke it so freshman year I wanted to sign up and learn to speak to her but she died before I even go into high school during the summer." He did the normal thing apologizing and I told him it was fine. "But why did you call out for me?" He asked. "I'm not entirely sure. When I was little, like five it started. my mom told me I called out a name every night since I was able to speak, Damon. I remember dreaming of a man, you at the age of five. We would play together and then when I turned 13 and started dating you would take me on dates and just recently I dreamed of you coming after me as I was running from something." I said feeling the heat rise in my face. I was telling this man things I didn't even want to tell anyone besides my mom. "I dreamed of you." He responded. I was shocked and could only stare at him speak less. "they were very vivid and lust-full dreams." Now he was blushing.

The bell rang and we got in the car. Elena and her brother Jeremy Got in. I sat in the back with Jeremy and Elena and Damon were up front. We got home and Elena and Jeremy went off to do homework. I took Daisy for a walk. I couldn't stand being in the house for another minute, especially after my talk with Damon. I was ideally walking when I found myself in the cemetery, deep in the cemetery. I was walking when I spotted an name, Alaric Saltzman. I sat down right in front of the head stone. I felt a connection and then I saw a man with dirty blonde hair. "Hello Josie. I'm Alaric, I'm your uncle." I was completely confused. "I don't have much time to explain. You came to my grave so your mother wanted me to give you information. You watch Lord of the rings?" He asked and I nodded yes. "Okay well elves aré real. There are some differences your eyes are two different colors. You can heal people and do small amounts of magic. Yes you are immortal. You can use the earth to your advantage. You need to practice, master it and You could be great." He finished and disappeared. I was crying when I opened my eyes.

I sat there for a second. It made sense I could grow plants and bring flowers back to life. I closed my eyes and picked one flower, lilies, I pictured a lily growing and reached my hands out. When I opened my eyes a lily began to grow. I was freaked out. I got up and ran home.
