My Name Is Averia Gilbert

Chapter 6 - Damon Salvatore

"My name is Damon" the recovering vampire told the staff, me and John in the hospital room.

He was Damon. That meant he definitely knew the girl with my face. Her name must be Elena! Therefore, the other man in the image must be named Stefan.

But where was this Elena? Was she a vampire too? Why did Damon look so desperate when he saw me? Apart from the obvious, i had Elena's face. That must be weird for him. But still: shouldn't he know where Elena is? His eyes clearly showed us he loved her..a lot.

Just when i thought i'd get some answers...

"Damon Salvatore!!" the nurse screamed with fear.

"Yes...but i've been granted pardon for all i had done..it's fine" Damon  assured the nurse. Why did he need a pardon?

I piped up, "Why did you need a pardon, sir?" i tried to keep our interactions...somewhat formal.

He stared at me sadly for a moment.

"After you disappeared...i went on a....rampage...kinda like Stefan..." he confessed to me.

"I never disappeared,  i think you're confusing me with someone else" Kirtis just nodded along to my dialogue.

The vampire on the bed began to struggle now, making the nurse feel agitated. But Damon did not care.

"Why do you say that?!?" he shouted to me with despair and utter pain.

His eyes.

Blue and so very sad. 

So broken.

I didn't know what to say to the vampire that stood in front of me.

So i just said the first thought that came to me.

I screamed, "I AM NOT ELENA!" and that just crazed and shocked him more.

"Yes you are! You are...Elena Gilbert, there's no way you can not be!" he exclaimed to me with determination.

Did he just say "Gilbert"?

"Gilbert" i said my surname out like it was alien to me.

That's how it felt though. Alien.

"Yes! Gilbert!" he ranted at me.

John Kirtis looked more agitated than the nurse now. 

"You should go Averia, he's just making you more confused, you don't need that" John told me, like he knew what was best for me.

But frankly, at that moment i did not feel like arguing. I felt angry.

I laughed...i must have jet lag after my trip..

From the Moon to Earth. Wow. It felt weird already. I had never felt so...alive. Like i didn't need a pump of oxygen in my backpack just to get to school. I could breathe and i didn't need anything to help me with that!

I was human and alive. I was in my birthplace, homeland and i was fully native in a sense.

It was a nice thought.

I left the Damon Salvatore's hospital room with a half-smile on my face.

I would be able to see rain, feel rain and even...taste it!

My smile grew.

I scratched at my hand. I felt something sticky on it. I stripped it off and looked at it. It had was some sort of sticker with a big massive smile on it. Oh my GOD! John Kirtis had stuck a mood-change on me. (Mood changers were little stickers with emotions on them. If you stick them on a person's skin, they could make them feel anything. Anger. Love. Happiness. Despair. Sadness) It was a lovely idea...if you were a CONTROL FREAK!
