Behind blue eyes

Chapter 2: I need a hero

A/N: I don't own anything except for my mistakes and OC. I fast-forwarded the story until I reached the age I wanted my OC to be. I'll be briefly telling about what happened in the past few years, but it won't differ much from the series. This takes place at season 5. Also, Stefan has regained his memory already in this story so I skipped that part. A little heads up as well:I changed occasions and people. I also skipped parts that were unnecessary for my story. Like, Katherine taking over Elena's body.

Two years later she was now tightly gripping to the luggage she was holding in both hands. She had just landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta's International Airport and was waiting outside for her ride.

She looked around her, and after a few minutes a blue Chevy Camaro stopped right in front of her. A familiar man with dark brown hair and his trademark black leather jacket stepped out of the car and with a smirk he took off his sunglasses.

"Your taxi has arrived, Miss Salvatore." He smugly said and held the car door open for her. Candice smirked and got in, gladly accepting his hand to support her whilst she was trying to casually step into the car with her high heels.

He put her luggage into the car and then sat down next to her, putting his sunglasses back on as he started the engine. Candice couldn't help her curiosity, and no matter how happy she was to see Damon, she couldn't help but wonder where Stefan was. As if he could read her mind, he said: "He's a little busy with Elena at the moment." He said and Candice nodded in understanding, but couldn't help but feel a tiny bit disappointed.

She totally understood that he had his own life, his relationship that he had to look after, but he was the one person that had raised her with all his love as long as she could remember. And she had kinda hoped that he would come to see her. After all, they hadn't seen each other in two years, because Candice moved to New York City when she was sixteen years old. Damon's orders, to be precise.

When she was still fourteen years old, Damon ended up disappointed when Katherine wasn't in the tomb and then there was the Founder's Council who murdered all the tomb vampires and nearly murdered Damon and Stefan in the progress.

Then when she turned fifteen, they all had a bit of a werewolf problem, a run in with the Originals, and a crazy sacrifice. Also, Damon got bitten and was on the edge of dying when Stefan decided to sacrifice his humanity to save his brother. Candice had been by Damon's side the entire time, and was surprised when Katherine suddenly showed up with the cure.

She soon turned sixteen and seeing as Stefan didn't seem to care much about the people he knew, Damon figured it would be safer if she would stay outside of Mystic Falls for a couple of years until Stefan was back to his old self. He told her not to tell him where she went, though. Because Klaus could compel Damon any moment he'd like and find her that way, if he wanted to.

That didn't mean they didn't stay in contact, though. In fact, they often called. It was probably because Damon felt responsible for Candice now that Stefan wasn't there to protect her and he also kept her up-to-date with all that was happening in Mystic Falls.

It wasn't quite friendship that they had, but they sure did grow a bit closer to each other. Candice tried to see him in a different light, and soon understood that Damon was often misunderstood. That in fact, he was capable of caring and loving, but people, including herself, didn't bother looking beyond the things he did wrong. It was after all easier to hate than to forgive. After years of knowing him, she finally took the time to see beyond his actions and an entire new world opened up to her. One that she didn't regret entering.
