I laid on my bed, my head resting at the foot of the bed, my blood rushing to my head as it hung off the edge slightly. The two Salvatore brothers were currently in my room, Damon pacing around snooping through my things while Stefan sat at my windowsill.

"So y'all don't know who that man in the road was?" I asked them both.

"Nope." Damon smiled down at me.

"I don't know. Do you remember anything else about him?" Stefan asked.

"No, I didn't see his face, he was wearing a hoodie and boots. That's all I can remember."

"I brought over some vervain for you and Jenna." Stefan said setting down a box next to me. I got up looking through it. I pulled out a thick black leather bracelet. "I made that one for Jeremy, there's a few extra ones for friends." He pointed out.

"Awe how cute, who knew Stefan was such a crafty guy." Damon said as his hands ran against the wall behind my dresser. Confused as to what he was doing I ignored him.

Stefan rolled his eyes and continued. "You can put it in jewelry or you can even put it in food or drinks, as long as it's in or on you a vampire cannot control you." I picked up a vervain flower.

"Wow there's a lot to remember about you guys."

"The cons of having vampire bodyguards, you gotta know everything about us." Damon smirked at me, I tried to contain the blush that was slowly creeping onto my cheeks.

Stefan wasn't amused with Damon. "We have to be careful especially with another vampire in town. That means no fooling around Damon. The last thing we need is for Nyx to get caught in between the crossfire." Stefan gave Damon a warning. My eyes watched Damon as he looked behind my picture frame that hung on the wall.

"Oh trust me brother, I'll take good care of Nyx when it's my turn on watch duty." He said moving over to my desk giving me a playful look.

"I'm serious Damon."

"Oh I am too." He smirked at us as he began to look through my drawers. I quickly got up, slamming it shut.

He snatched his hand away from the drawer."What are you doling?"

"What do you mean?" He gave me an innocent look. I crossed my arms over my chest as I blocked the drawer with my body.

"Don't do that. Don't pretend like you're not snooping around my room...spill it what are you trying to find?"

"Hmm...what makes you think I'm trying to find something?"

"I can tell Damon, now spill." He stepped closer to me causing me to back up into my desk.

The doorbell rung. "Nyx I need the money!" I heard Jeremy yell from downstairs. I rolled my eyes as I pushed pass Damon.

"Watch him, make sure he doesn't break anything."

Stefan laughed and nodded his head. "You got it."

I gave Damon a look as I scrummage through my dresser to get the money for the pizza.

"Is that where you keep your diary too?" He asked in a cocky tone.

"No!" I stopped to look back at him. "Is that what you're trying to look for? You know what don't answer that, I'll be right back." I said walking downstairs to see the delivery guy putting the pizza down on the table by the door.

"Hey, you can keep the change." I said handing him the money, he smiled at me weirdly.

"And you have yourself a goodnight." He said before leaving.
