Chapter 3 – Night of the Comet – Part 1

They went to school as normal, the next day. Elena and Stefan kept exchanging glances. The history teacher was mentioning the night of the comet, which did seem to be interesting. Bonnie kept talking about how Grams was telling her she was a witch. Rather than a psychic. It seemed plausible to Sakura, but the others were skeptical. After school Sakura and Leilani met up with Elena, Bonnie and Caroline at a local Café.

"Well, I was talking to Grams. And she said the comet is a sign of impending doom. She said the last time it passed over Mystic Falls there was lots of death. So much blood and carnage it created a bed of paranormal activity," Bonnie explained.

"Yeah and then you poured Grams another shot and she told you about the aliens," Caroline said sarcastically.

"Quit being so mean Caroline. I, personally, believe what Grams says. It may sound like nonsense to you, but she's told a lot of stories. Which, if you've ever done some real research, are true," Sakura commented. Caroline scowled and crossed her arms. She turned to Elena to try and change the subject.

"So then what?" Caroline asked Elena, referring to her and Stefan. She was still sour about Stefan choosing Elena, but she had a new interest, Damon. She didn't know his name yet, but they met yesterday after the party, while she was drunk.

"So then nothing," Elena sighed. Leilani pat her on the back sympathetically and Elena just shook her head.

"So you guys just talked all night. There was no sloppy first kiss or any touchy feely of any kind," Caroline didn't seem convinced.

"Nope, we didn't go there," Elena said, sounding disappointed. Caroline tried to convince Elena to go after him, 'jump his bones' is what she said. She figured since they liked each other, they should go for it. Elena thought about it for a moment and got up to leave.

"I, really don't agree with that," Sakura glared at Caroline. "Things aren't always that simple," Sakura rushed the hair out of her face.

"Of course you don't agree," Caroline scowled. "Miss saint, have you even gone on a date yet?" Caroline eyed her, trying to make her uncomfortable.

"Quit it you too," Elena pointed her finger at them warningly. "We don't even know what's really happened with them the past four years. Besides, remember the last time you make Sakura angry," Elena said before leaving.

Caroline twitched thinking back to middle school. Caroline remembered Sakura making her eat her words, and some dirty. Caroline laughed nervously, "You don't still have that anger problem right? You wouldn't hit me."

Sakura smirked as she looked at Caroline squirm. "Quit it," Leilani lightly pushed Sakura's shoulder. "By the way, she has gone on a date," Leilani blurted out, surprising them. "He was so hot too, why did you not see him again?" Leilani asked.

"Put a sock in it," Sakura got up and started to walk away. "I'll see you guys tonight," Sakura waved back.

"Where are you off to?" Leilani asked.

"Home," Sakura kept walking. She wanted to do more research. Take a look in the grimoire and at some of the other things in the box. Sakura got home and saw Elena going to her house. "What happened with Stefan?" Sakura asked as they met up.

"Nothing," Elena sighed. "His brother was there and he seemed preoccupied," Elena explained.

"Next time I guess," Sakura gripped her shoulder comfortingly.

"I thought you didn't agree with Caroline?" Elena was confused.

"Well, only part of it," Sakura winked and started for her house again. Sakura walked up to her house and got her keys out when a crow flew by her head. Sakura ducked and tried to swat it away. When she didn't hit anything she looked up and it was gone. She looked all around, but it was no where in sight. Sakura went inside, still startled. She went up to her room and opened up the grimoire. She found a picture of a ring with a wolf on it, underneath it said 'Umbra Ferrum.'

Sakura rummaged threw the box, on the bottom were various pieces of jewelry. One piece in particular caught her eye. A ring with a wolf on it. She felt drawn to it, as if it were hers. It was meant for her to wear. She put it on her right index finger and felt a surge of energy before she passed out.

Sakura heard her phone start ringing and she started to wake up. She kept her eyes closed as she patted around her in an attempt to find it. Sakura noticed that somehow she was on her bed and her hand ran into something else. She slowly opened her eyes, but her eyes went wide when she saw Damon laying on her bed. She backed off, shocked and fell off the bed.

"I give you a 6 for effort," Damon smirked.

"How the hell did a vampire get in my house," Sakura mumbled to herself.

"What was that?" Damon, with his super hearing had, of course, heard her. But he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Dammit," Sakura cursed to herself. She didn't think before saying something out loud. She started getting up. She rested her arms on the bed. "I asked how you got in my house," Sakura told him part of what she had said.

Damon glared at her suspiciously. "Leilani let me in," he smirked.

Sakura gulped and got up to run out of her room. In an instant, Damon was in front of her, she ran right into him. He wasn't phased, but Sakura stumbled back a little. "You said 'How the hell did a vampire get in my house,' you little liar," Damon stalked towards her and she kept walking back. Suddenly, he disappeared and Sakura was grabbed from behind. One arm holding her arms and waist in place and the other holding her head. Damon breathed in her scent. "What an unusual, yet sweet scent," he smiled.

"Vanilla and strawberries," Sakura laughed nervously.

"You don't smell quite like normal humans, it's only a little off. But it's different. Time for a taste," Damon smiled. He started to bite into her skin, Sakura didn't scream, but just gritted her teeth.

"What? Oh my, I'm sorry," Leilani saw them and turned around, embarrassed. She had evidently thought they were doing something else.

Damon let Sakura go and licked what little blood was on his face. Sakura hid the bite mark with her coat and stood up straight. "It's nothing like," Sakura started to say, but she was cut off.

"It's alright Leilani, but could you give up a minute?" Damon smiled at Leilani as she turned around.

"Right, come down when you're ready," Leilani squealed and ran downstairs.

Sakura rushed to leave the room again. Damon was suddenly in front of her and he shut the door. "Well, this is weird," Damon said observing her. She was short, only about 5' 2" but she was in good shape and beautiful. She took a couple steps away from him and gulped. He could hear her heart rate pick up. He stalked towards her again, with each step he took forward, she took one back. Till she ran into the bed that is, she fell back slightly, but sat upright on the bed. He was right in front of her and he leaned in, putting his arms on both sides, trapping her. "There are no such things as vampires," Damon was trying to compel her.

For a moment she seemed like she was in a trance, but she shook her head no. "So, compulsion doesn't work, interesting," Damon stood up and looked down at her curiously. "I could just kill you," he contemplated.

All she did was glare up at him. "Maybe I'll find a use for you, considering all this Mystic Falls history stuff you have. Especially that grimoire," Damon sighed. He looked at her, but she didn't seem to be afraid of him.

Her phone started to ring again. "Oh yeah, you've missed like 8 calls," Damon pulled Sakura's phone out of his pocket. "I already put my number in your phone," he smiled and handed her the phone back. "Come on, lets go," Damon motioned towards the door.

"What?" Sakura couldn't believe he was acting friendly after biting her.

"Let's go downstairs, to Leilani," he said as if it was obvious. He grabbed her arm and started to drag her. "By the way, don't tell anyone about the whole vampire thing. Or else, dot, dot, dot," Damon said trying to leave it to her imagination.

"I've know for a while but didn't say anything," Sakura rolled her eyes. "If you try anything again, I'll kill you," Sakura snarled.

"You'll kill me," Damon laughed. "Have you forgotten the food chain here?" Damon showed her his fangs. Sakura ignored him and walked by. Damon followed her downstairs, slightly dumbfounded.

"So, you guys um, done," Leilani said nervously.

"Nothing happened," Sakura sighed.

"Oh, it wasn't nothing," Damon teased her, as he kissed the top of her head and put his hand on her waist, holding her close to him.

Leilani giggled and pulled out a flyer. "I was actually coming to get you to help hand out flyers, for the Night of the Comet," Leilani explained.

"Why is he here?" Sakura pushed him away. He pouted a little, but let her put some distance between them.

"Well, you weren't answering your phone. Which everyone was calling you, by the way. So I decided to come home, and check up on you. I ran into Damon on the way here, and we got to talking. He offered to help so I let him in, and he went upstairs to find you while I checked down here," Leilani explained.

Sakura couldn't believe she invited Damon in, they barely knew each other. "That's when I found you passed out on the floor with a mess around you. I cleaned up your mess, you're welcome by the way. And I nicely put you on your bed," Damon smiled.

"And you stayed on my bed after stealing my phone," Sakura growled.

"I gave it back," Damon smiled.

"After putting your number in it," Sakura rolled her eyes.

"You two are so cute. So, what's really going on here," Leilani pointed to both of them.

"Nothing," Sakura sighed. She picked up some flyers and went to leave. "I'll pass them out like you wanted," Sakura told Leilani. Sakura didn't want Leilani asking questions. Whether there was nothing going on or not, Leilani may make it seem like it.

"I'll help her," Damon followed Sakura out.

"If you're going to help, go on your own," Sakura growled.

"Na, I like this better," Damon put his arm on her shoulder as they walked.

Leilani grabbed another bunch of flyers and headed out. She smiled as she saw Sakura with Damon. "I don't know if it really is something. But I wish it was. She needs it," Leilani said to herself before setting off.

Hope you enjoyed. And yes finally more Damon~
