Damon's Little Princess

Chapter 2: Damaged

Stefan went back to the mansion to find Damon pacing back and forth by the large living room window.

"Damon? What's wrong?"

"I think someone was staring at me."

Stefan laughed. "That's a shocker! I mean, usually, you're the one creepily staring at people, but now it suddenly feels weird when you're the one being stared at? Come on! That's too funny!" He said while laughing.

Damon frowned. "I'm serious. It's creepy!"

"I hope you're not gonna go after them."

Damon smirked. "Oh. I am, and I'm gonna get to the bottom of it!" He said, feeling determined.

It was almost Alyssa's eighteenth birthday, and Caroline was getting everything ready for her birthday party when Damon knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Caroline called out, and Damon stepped into the house.

"Hey, who's birthday is it?"

Caroline sighed and turned toward him. "Okay, I have a secret sister, and I never told you about it, okay? She's been through a lot, and my mother adopted her."

"I don't believe you." Damon said with a smirk. "Otherwise, I would have already met her by now."

"Or maybe you're so head over heels over Elena that you didn't even notice her."

Damon was lost in thought for a split second but opened his mouth to speak when he saw Elizabeth walk down the stairs.

"Hey, Liz! Why didn't you tell me you adopted?"

Liz looked over at Caroline with wide eyes, then back at Damon.

"Cmon, I'm not gonna eat her!"

He paused. "Wait. You actually adopted someone?"

Liz nodded. "Yes. Her parents threw her out of the house when she was fourteen, and since then, I've seen Alyssa as much of a daughter as I see Caroline."

Damon looked up at the ceiling and smiled in disbelief. "Wow! Just wow! I can't believe this."

He instantly turned to leave the house, but Caroline called out to him before he left.

"What were you here for, Damon?"

"Well, I was gonna tell Liz about how Katherine found out where you guys live, but I forgot because of the news you both just told me about."

Caroline's eyes went wide. "No,no, no, no! How did she find me?"

"She might have followed you, but don't worry, the Salvatore brothers are here to save the day, as usual." He said with a bragging tone.

"Just get out already!" Caroline yelled at him and pointed at the door.

Damon left the house and walked toward the sidewalk, where he saw Alyssa walking up to the house.

"So you're the one who was staring at me!" He said to her.

Alyssa looked back up at him in fear.

"I'm sorry, sir!" She yelped and hurried into the house.

Caroline sent out invitations through Mystic Falls and invited Tyler, Matt, Elena, Bonnie, Stefan, and Damon.

Elena was in the Salvatore mansion, laying in bed with Stefan when Damon walked into the house with an envelope in his hand.

"Hey, guys! We all just got invited to Caroline's sister's party! I know I'm going!"

Elena sighed and stormed downstairs to where Damon stood and put her hands on her hips. "Don't you have something better to do than go to some dumb party?"
