Isabel grabs my arm and drags we away from everyone. 

"Why the heck did you save him??" She demands. "He killed my sister!" I don't reply. 

"Tabby, your not falling for him are you?" She asks. I look away from her and look in the direction of Damon. We make eye contact. 

"Tabby!" Isabel yells. I jump and focus on her. 

"I think I might be." I say. I bite my lip. Isabel looks at me with wide eyes. 

"He doesn't deserve your love." She says. "He's a heartless man." I shake my head. 

"He has a heart." I say and glance at Damon. He smiles. 

"Maybe you don't deserve my friendship either." Isabel says angrily. She stomps away. 

"Isabel!" I try to get her to come back. She doesn't. I sigh. Great I just lost my friend. Micah comes up and takes my hand. 

"Let's take a walk." He says. All I can do it nod. He leads me into the woods. 

"So, what's the matter?" He asks. I sigh again. 

"Me and Isabel aren't talking." I reply. He stops and hugs me. I hug him back and breath in his scent. He smells like  the woods and fresh cut grass. I sigh a sigh of relief into his chest. He breaks the hug and smiles. 

"I have something for you." 

"What?" I ask. He takes a necklace out of his pocket. 

"This is a necklace to protect you from vampires." He says. He puts it around my neck. 

"Thanks." I say with a smile. I look down at it. It's round with a red jewel on top. Micah takes a step closer to me and lifts my chin. I look up into his eyes. 

"I don't want you to get involved with Damon." He says. "He's dangerous." I nod. But I don't know if I would be able to do that. 

"I care about you Tabby." I blush. He leans in and goes to kiss my cheek. I turn my head so he kisses my lips instead. I feel him smile and I have to smile myself. He puts his hands on my waist. I put my arms around his neck. I break away first. He looks at me and grins. I roll my eyes and smile. I grab his hand and head back to our group. When we get back Micah goes and helps Niall with the fire. I look for Damon. He is by himself on a log. I walk over to him. 

"Hey, why are you by yourself?" I ask. He looks up. 

"Have you noticed that everyone hates me here?" He replies. 

"I don't." I say and sit beside him. He looks at my necklace.

"What's that?" He asks. 

"A necklace Micah gave to me." I say. "It protects me from..vampires." He looks up into my eyes. 

"I want you to take that off right now." He demands. 

"Why?" 

"Because I'm the only vampire here." He says. "And I'm not going to hurt you." He puts a piece of my hair behind my ear. I get warm inside. I believe him, even after he tried to kill me. My gaze goes to his lips. I want to kiss him more than I've ever wanted to kiss a guy before. 

"Supper is ready." Parker yells. Me and Damon get up and join the others.
