A Kind Girl | N. & E. Mikaelson

Prologue

Elisabeth,nicknamed Ellie by Damon was a shy kid around new people. She only trusted Damon. Damon loved the kid and knew he would do anything to keep her safe.

He got her a nanny to look after her a few hours when he had to feed. He was scared that his daughter would be afraid of him. They lived in a cottage in California.

He spent most of his time with Ellie.
From watching princess movies to tea parties.

Yes, Damon Salvatore in a tutu and stuck in a mini chair.

One day when Ellie was six ,they were watching, Beauty and the Beast and she asked a question that shook Damon a bit. .

"Does it mean that a beast will come and take me away from you, Papa?" Damon was happy everytime she called him Dad or Papa. But the thought of some guy taking his daughter from him, terrified him more then anything.

"No,princess. It will just be me and you forever.No filthy animal will steal you." He jokingly said, tickling her.

With a tired sigh,she learned on his shoulder,"Thank you. I love you, Papa."

Damon never know he could ever love someone, and never thought he could be a father.

Yet here, this child broke every wall around his cold heart and he loves her and she changed him for the better.

"Love you too, princess."

Loud snores erupted out of such a small body. He let out a small chuckle. He could not be happier then with his daughter.

Later that night, Damon thought Ellie was asleep and he drank from a blood bag and heard a gasp. Damon turned around,with his fangs, still showing and he saw her face.
Little Ellie walked closer with her paw patrol pajamas, she tucked on Damon's shirt, so that he will bend down.

Damon felt his dead heart beat faster as he put down his bloodbag. Terrified of her reaction.

And he crouched down to her level. She gently placed her hands on his cheeks and told him," Dad, you're face is awesome. And you told me, I cannot drink a juicebox
at night, so why can you?"

Damon's face was normal and he took Ellie to the living room to explain this stuff.

" So, I am a vampire,but I promise you that I will never hurt you okay. I got hurt a few years ago and now I am a
vampire that needs blood to be okay."

The little girl slowly nodded her head, looking deep in thought. She bit her lip nervously. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"I was a fairy. A real one. My other daddy was just gone and then... my mom...she stealed my powers.Then you, found me. I know you will not hurt me. You are the bestest."

Damon exhaled in relief and was glad she shared some of her life with him. He gave her a tight hug. She was the smartest little child he had ever met.

Damon tried giving her the best life. When she was seven she was in a normal school, but she struggled a bit. She could not focus with all the noise around her. Damon thought it would be for the best if she was homeschooled for now. She always struggled with new people.

It took him a while to learn, that she absolutely hates blood. She nearly passed out when she scrapped her knee once. Blood in a bag is fine. But when it comes out of someone, she pukes and gets faint. A weird thing for a child with a vampire father.

She was the sweetest person, once you get to know her. She was a bit strange to other people. She would rather spend some time in the woods or in her garden. It was where she felt the most at peace. Like she never lost a part of herself.

She loved reading about everything. For the most random, topics to science. She loves reading about nature and fairytales. She does not remember much about her life with the fairies, but she loved learning even if it might not be true.

Damon knew she had to learn to socialize. So he compromised with her , that she can be homeschooled if she joins at least two social clubs. And she has to speak to people. It took a lot of ice cream to convince her to go.

She decided to join a photography and a gardening club. There was not really young people, but Ellie loved hearing stories from the elderly people. How it was when they were young and all their stories about their travels.

When she was sixteen, she thought about death. And what if her mother found her. How will Damon react?

One morning, everything was going normally. Damon was making pancakes as Ellie sat at the kitchen counter.

"Dad, will you turn me into a vampire?"

Damon, not expecting the question, burned his hand on the pan. He took it of the warm plate and then faced her,"Darling, you are sixteen. You should not think about such stuff."

She looked up at him with uncertainty, but she continued,"What if you have too? What if there was no other choice? Would you? I know I might not survive as a vampire, because blood...what if I die?"

Damon stood there in silence, thinking for a bit. He could not imagine a life without her. She made him a better person.

"I would have to give you blood only when it is necessary. And I know you might not like being a vampire. Just the thought of you dying scares the living sh*t out of me. I would rather have you alive then dead. But you are not dying ever, okay. Now, eat your pancakes."

As she inhaled her pancakes, she quickly disappeared to her garden. How she loves that piece of ground. From a heap of sand to beautiful flowers everywhere.

Damon sat in the living room and thought about Stefan. The conversation with Ellie made him think about why Stefan turned him. Did he really love Damon so much that he did not want to be alone as a vampire? He will probably ask in the future.

Ellie knows about Katherine and the tomb. In two years, they will move back to Mystic Falls. Maybe then she can make some friends her age.

He loves her quirky personality, but he was sometimes worried about her isolated life. She spend most of her time with him, her schoolwork, her garden or her old people clubs. Maybe it will be good for her too. For Damon wanted closure and Ellie might get a normal teenager life.
