Green Eyes (Damon Salvatore)

0-4

"Come again?" Stefan asks, eyebrows furrowed together.

"Klaus Mikaelson, he's an original. And the originals are the first family of vampires,"

"How do you know said family? We've been together 4 years, and you never once mentioned them," Damon said a frown on his face.

"Let's just say I owe Klaus my life since he not only saved it..... but he was the one who turned me into a vampire, I betrayed him, and he's been after me since,"

"Can you tell us more?" Damon asks as Alyssa shook her head.

"I cannot, I'm sorry," she says, looking down.

"Damon, if she's not ready, we shouldn't force her," Stefan told him, looking at his brother.

His brother stared right back at him before looking back at Alyssa as she casted her eyes downwards, twiddling with her thumbs, a habit she did when she was nervous.

Damon sighed before grabbing ahold of her hand like he used to whenever she did that, making her look up at him.

"Please stay with us, Alyssa, we need to know that you're safe. I need to know that you're safe. What do you say..... Will you stay with us just until we know this Klaus guy wouldn't hurt you again?" 

Alyssa slumped her shoulders, looking back and forth between Salvatore brothers who had equal concerning expressions.

"Okay..... okay, I'll stay, but if either one of you gets hurt by Klaus, I will leave in the middle of the night, so he follows me,"

"Deal," Damon said as a smile couldn't stop being on his face.

***********
"You didn't have to come, I could've handled it myself," Alyssa says just as Damon had finished closing the trunk to his car.

"Well, I had to make sure you're safe, think of me as your bodyguard or something," He explains before quickly vamp speeding around her and opening the door for her.

She smiled gratefully at him before getting in the car as he closed the door behind her.

"Still such a gentleman, I love how that hasn't changed," She said, smiling at him.

"Yeah well your the only vampire in the world that has that effect on me," he says, smiling at her as he was driving them back to the boarding house. 

It was silent for awhile, and Alyssa realizes whenever it's silent between them, it was the most comfortable silence she's ever been in. She nervously tapped her fingers on her thigh as she bit her lip.

"I'm sorry," She whispers out as Damon almost didn't hear her if it wasn't for his super hearing.

"About what?" Damon asks side glancing her before setting his eyes back on the road.

"I should have told you I shouldn't have left.... I shouldn't have left you broken and alone when I promised I'd never leave you, I did exactly that and I feel so ashamed that we had to reunite this way," she explains a couple of tears falling out of her green eyes.

"Alyssa, you showed up at my doorstep practically on your death bed, I thought I buried everything inside but seeing you almost die brought something out of me and after you finally explained your disappearance I got the closure I needed,"

"So.... you don't hate me?" She squeaked out, causing Damon to put his hand on top of her thigh as the other hand was on the steering wheel.

"I could never hate you, Alyssa," he said, giving her a reassuring smile.

She sighed in relief just as they got home to the Salvatore boarding house. She noticed another car was now parked in the driveway.

It was a 2008 steel blue Metallic Ford escape. Alyssa clicked her tongue.

"Damon, who's that?" She asked just as the door opened as Alyssa's eyes widened in shock.

She couldn't believe the resemblance. The only difference was that she smelt human and had long straight brown hair instead of curly brown hair. Alyssa was lost for words as her mouth was wide open.

Her chocolate brown eyes met green as she furrowed her eyebrows, face turning into a frown as she looked between Damon and Alyssa.

Alyssa finally had the courage to get out of Damon's car towards the Katherine look alik. However, was stopped when Stefan was in front of her, protecting her.

"Alyssa, this is Elena Gilbert, Elena. This is Alyssa, Damon's ex," Stefan introduced as she peaked her head to look at Alyssa.

"Damon's ex?" She asked, looking at Alyssa up and down. "You don't seem like his type,"

"Excuse me?" She asked, shocked that she would say such things to her.

Damon was quick to wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her towards him.

"Look, I don't think it's any of your business who I had back then. Alyssa will be staying with us, and I need you to get along with her,"

"You're letting your ex..... a person who breaks your heart stay with you?"

"Listen, Elena is it? Or is your name Katherine? Either way, I don't think it's any of your business. How about we start over or your neck snaps in an instant. I'm Alyssa Binkley, and you are?" She asks, holding her hand out with a sickly sweet smile on her face.

Elena gulped, instantly feeling threatened near her presence.

"Elena Gilbert, pleasure to meet you," she said, gripping her hand as Alyssa's grin only grew.

"You made a wise Decision Elena, it's nice to meet you. Now Damon, let's get my stuff in the house,"

"How about I do that for you, and you go and pick out a room?" He asks as she shakes her head.

"I don't mind helping it's my stuff after all,"

"Oh, Alyssa, you've always been helpful, honey. Let me do this for you, please," he pouts, giving her the face she knew she couldn't resist.

"Oh, alright, thank you, Damon. I will be picking out my room," She giggles before vamp speeding inside the house.
