"Elena you really don't have to be so rude to her, just because she likes the person that I am." Damon said. He's right; I am sort of, kind of starting to like him. But I would want to get him to know him better. Now I have to thank Jasper even more for making my boarding pass last six months. Wait what if Jasper knew something and did not tell me. Ooh he so damn sneaky, stupid smart vampire.
Demi's POV
When I walked in everyone was in the living room area or what I assumed was everyone. I stared at them from left to right with a blank expression, just standing there at the entrance of the room. Since nobody wanted to say anything I was waiting for Damon to come in. I felt so uncomfortable with all the staring that they were doing. That I didn't even notice when Elena walked passed me as that was what Damon called her. Even less when Damon was standing by side; but I did notice when I saw Elena and she was whispering something to a guy with light brown hair.
"Well don't just stare at her, can't you tell it's making her so uncomfortable." Damon said to everyone in the room.
It's funny how he can already figure me out and at the same it's also scary. But it makes me glad that someone is here for me, even when we haven't known each other for long. I looked at him and gave him my best smile.
"You must have done something to her Damon!" Some girl screamed this time and it was not Elena.
"Judgy I haven't done anything to her. Why do you all assume I've done something to her? I could never dream of trying to harm her in any way." Damon said and I looked towards the person he was staring at. It was a girl with a dark but not to dark skin tone then the rest of us and held your own type of beauty. But at the same time I glared at her the same way I glared at Elena.
I took a step back and hid a little behind Damon. These people are really starting to irritate me and in a way it kind of reminded me of Jazz. How they couldn't trust him at first with me around him. But I stood next to him, especially after they explained their powers to me. When I figured it out like a math problem. That actual problem was everyone's blood lust affecting him and making it difficult for him then they thought. I took a deep breath gathering all my thoughts before walking back out from behind him to face them all and give them a piece of my mind. Especially if my gut was correct about Damon and Stefan being a different type of vampire. Then I'd prove it to them that it is not Damon and what they think that he has done to me.
Knowing that since Edward can't read my mind and sometimes I can block Alice's sight of me. Except Jazz's and maybe cause whatever it is I can do is not strong enough since I'm still human. Sucks for wanting to tell them later about what I know and having to do it now.
"Why are you all thinking that, don't you ever stop and think that maybe he is telling the truth. I don't like it and it reminds me so much how my family didn't trust one of theirs to be around me." I said and paused for a moment and before I continued.
"When it was them causing him everything he was…" I trailed of and whispered the last word, "feeling."
I knew that someone must have heard me say that last word that I have whispered in this room. One of them being Damon and the other being Stefan. Anyone else in the room, I really had no clue.
I turned to face Damon and spoke, "I know I told you I had this secret and that I was going to wait to tell you what it was later. To make sure what I knew was true, but I can't. I can't stand the way they treat you."
"You don't have to tell me or them yet. You don't know us and we don't know you yet." Damon said to me. He looked at me so intensely that his eyes held so much hope in them.
"I know I don't have to but I need to. This is the only way they'll understand and you will to. But first I have to show you something." I said as I opened my purse that was still in my hand and search for my phone. Once I had found my phone and opened up my photos app. I searched for the picture with just Jazz and gave Damon my phone.
"Who does he look like to you?" I asked him knowing that hopefully he recognizes him. Although his eyes are not the same shade they use to be when he was human.
Damon looked at me with a surprised expression and I just nodded at him. To let him know that I knew and words weren't needed for us to speak. In a way even though we had never met until now, it just sort of feels natural to be around him. For our eyes to speak the words we wish not to say out loud for everyone to hear. I now knew how Jazz and Rose felt when they were with Emmett and Alice. Could it be that I had found the one I would love for the rest of my life?
I never knew that coming to Mystics would be this way. That what I thought of love was what I thought I had felt for Edward. But now I see how wrong I was and that all I needed to be was patient. That love would find its way into my life. Who would have thought I would have jumped from one supernatural to another. But with Damon it just felt so right and now I had to see how this would develop.
"He looks like someone I once met when we in the Civil War. He was Major Jasper Whitlock and later he went MIA." He told me and I only smiled at him.
"Damon why would you tell her something like that and plus you don't even know her enough to trust her with this. For all we know she may be working for Klaus or Katherine." Elena said. I turned to look at her with a glare of anger that was bubbling within me.
But before I could even respond Damon beat me to it, "She has known before she even got here, Elena."
I turned back to look at Damon and told him, "That is Major Jasper Whitlock, before he went MIA, he was found by three vampires on his ride back to Galveston. Maria is the only one who is still alive and breathing. But the other two Lucy and Nettie were killed for wanting to overthrow Maria." I paused when no one said anything I continued. "Maria changed him to use him for his training and experience to create vampire armies to reclaim her territories. When he became a vampire he had gained the ability to feel and manipulate people's emotions."
"When was he changed?" Someone asked me.
"I believe he said 1863." I responded to whoever asked.
"So he was changed a year before me, well that's saying something." Damon said laughing a little bit.
"Yes, but he was only nine-teen when he was turned. He was the youngest Major known in the human race. But in the vampire world he is known as the God of War or the Major, the most feared vampire in existence, even more then the Volturi. He spent almost 75 years in the southern vampire wars." I said to him.
"He may come in handy if we ever need help if he'll give it that is." I heard Stefan say.
"Maybe he would if I ask him. Anyways he spent ten years trying to feed less off of human blood when he had left Maria. That is until he met his Alice, his forever. Jazz and the rest the family live off of animal blood. Then we met almost 54 years later in my freshmen year of high school in 2002. I've known them for three years now." I said to them and led myself to one of the empty seats and Damon fallowed me sitting next to me.
"There is something else is there?" Damon asked me. I sighed nodding my head in confirmation.
"The vampires I know are not like you or the ones you know. They're called the 'Cold Ones' and they have rules to follow that were created by the Volturi. The Volturi are the rulers of the vampires or the cold ones. If they feed from humans it has to someone that will not be missed and not in Volterra. Change territory often. Immortal children are forbidden; the child, creator, and those who defend them will be killed. False witness of any kind shall be also killed." I said pausing before continuing and letting them take in everything I had just said.
Lastly telling them one of the last rules I remember them telling me about human interaction.
"Vampires aren't supposed to interact with humans. Especially if humans become aware of them, then after that there are only two choices. There are to be either be turned or be killed." I finished telling them some of the laws that I remembered them telling me about.
"Then why are you telling us this!" The olive toned girls said with anger.
"You all seem to think that Damon must have done something to me. My family, are a coven of vampires and three of them having extra abilities. Which only two don't affect it me cause I can block them and I'm still human, but not for long." I said back to her angrily.
Everyone one in the room was quiet, that you can even hear a needle drop. I don't know how they will react to me wanting to be changed into a vampire. I wonder if I can get them to change me into one of theirs and if abilities manifest with their kind. I wonder what Damon is thinking about all this that I had said so far.
If he is the one I am supposed to be with, than why not make it forever.
I looked at everyone's face and some seemed to be shocked to this revelation, some angry, and Elena looked at me with pure jealousy. As if she would want the same thing for herself and especially since she was looking back and forth from Damon to me.
I hope that he is not life controlling like Edward is and that hopefully he respects my wishes. I mean now they know that I have now choice in this life. That now that I know about the supernatural life that it is something that I cannot ignore. That I finally had come to terms with this that I know that this is what I want in my life. I know I want it more than anything meaning that I can be with my family forever, than being alone in this life.
"Is this something that you really want?" Damon said.
I thought carefully of how I was going to respond to him because I don't know how he will react. I mean I had just got here and I wanted to wait. But in all my life I never felt the urge to defend someone like I do when it comes to Damon. Sure I did with Jaz, because it felt right and I feel for him like a brother.
"Yes, I mean if the Volturi ever found out that I knew of the existence. Then they would either change or kill me. So yes, I want it. But now since I know of your kind. I…" I said but then Damon began to speak.
"The Volturi fear us, we are much stronger than they are, and I've met them before." Damon said. My eyes went wide open when he said that. The Volturi fear them, that is something I never thought could happen to them.
If you have any suggestions on what you like in the story or whatever, I am open to them. I am not sure about the Stefan and Elena ship, if I want them in this story of if Stefan should be paired with and oc. Demi need's a best friend. Should it be Caroline?
