The Change||Damon Torrance

XII

Present

I like that she's not afraid of my threats. She's not afraid of me."Damon?" I hear her soft voice but with a hint of hardness. She can't see me at the moment being in the corner of the storeroom. A light bulb above her revealing her beautiful face. All this time I followed her. In fact, I have them all followed but I did not act, until now."Did you miss me, Little Princess?" I ask her, taking a step, coming out of the darkness.

Her eyes widened when she saw me. But she didn't move. She froze. I smirked. "What are you doing here?" I ask her and she is silent for a moment "Do you know that they want to avenge you?!" She tells me angry and I snort lightly "I know their every move, love. You don't have to tell me." I say.

"Why did you do those things?" she takes a step towards me, surprising me.I grinned and she rolled her eyes "Will is your friend and you almost drowned him." she continued, me keeping the same face, "They chose her." I say, emphasizing the word "she". She is silent for a moment, realizing who I am talking about.The whole group that was mine chose that little fool Rika. Even Will. I knew Alekseeva was on Rika's side but in this context it wasn't about her.

"You have no soul, Damon." she says to me and I'm silent for a moment "Then why are you trying to surface something that you know doesn't exist?" I ask her and she doesn't answer me. I know what she always tried to do. She tried to find my sensitive spot to prove to me that I have one and that I have weaknesses that represent an emotion."It doesn't work, princess. It doesn't exist. I have no heart." I tell her directly and she looks at me with disgust.

Sometimes you have to pretend you don't have a heart just so you don't end up hurt. I have a heart and I really feel emotions at a high level, but I mask them. I can consider this my weak point. I never cried in front of anyone, I never showed hesitation or passing in front of someone. Everyone thinks I'm black on the inside. But Alekseeva sees something else and it drives me crazy. Even Banks doesn't see through me the way Alekseeva sees.

"You lie!" she confronts me but I don't get to say anything as she continues "If you don't have a heart, why did you look after me the whole school year when I was a freshman? At the library, you said that the music I played calmed you down. You- you looked on me and the others for a whole year. Why?" she asks me, but it wasn't really in the form of a question. I feel her ice-cold fingers touching my cheeks. I don't pull back. She runs her finger over my lips and smiles sadly.

"Why am I the only one who sees something good in you?" she asks me but I prefer not to answer. On my face is shown a face without emotions but inside my heart is pounding. I have never felt like this around a girl.Then I feel her fleshy lips joining mine. She took me by surprise. I immediately respond to her kiss, running my hand behind the back of her neck. God, it was so cold but she felt so warm. We reach the wall and put a hand above her head, blocking her exit. My tongue crawls into her mouth and I immediately feel a vibration.

My cock hardens and fuck, nothing has been done to this girl either. I run my hands over her body, feeling how soft it's her file.We break away from the kiss and I start breathing faster."You're playing with fire!" I tell her, trying to hide my smirk. "I want to warm up." she answers me and I grin. I would have fucked her here, in the basement against the wall, but something stops me "How many have touched you?" I ask her, stroking her hair. She is silent for a second, looking into her eyes, waiting for an answer. "Nobody" she says and I smirk. I already knew.

While I was in prison, Michael told me everything she was doing and who she was with. She was still going to parties, but from what Michael told me, nothing had happened. But still, I see a hesitation on her face "Why are you looking like this?" I ask her while lifting her chin so she can look me straight in the eyes. What the hell was she hiding from me?"It's this boy..." she begins and I can already feel myself exploding "He put it in my drink GHB and..." she swallows hard trying to control her tears. I let go of his chin and take a step back.

"Who ?" I ask her in a nervous tone.She nods her head as a sign of no, but I rush over to her and gently grab her arm "Tell me.Who. Touched. You." I tell her the syllables and she fixes her eyes on me. "Ethan. Ethan Loomie." She says that name and I feel like I'm on fire.Ethan was going to be dead immediately. How the hell didn't I know that? How did Michael miss it? I see her looking down, tears flowing. I lifted her chin, making eye contact with her "What do you want me to do to Loomie?" I ask her and she is silent for a moment. "I want you to make him suffer the same way I suffered." she tells me and I smile a little.

"I am nervous!" I hear Alekseeva saying me, sitting in the right passenger seat. We got into the car I had rented, because I couldn't drive my BMW, taking too much risk. Now we were heading towards Thunder Bay. Ethan is going to have a few hours of torment. I didn't want to take Alekseeva as well, but she begged me. Alekseeva sent a message to Ethan if they could meet for a drink at the Striks bar.

It's normal that the fool accepted.I parked right next to Striks and I see Ethan sitting outside smoking a cigarette "Go to him and I'll follow you!" I tell Alekseeva, she approves and gets out of the car. She needed me to vent my nerves on someone and I found this dude.Alekseeva approaches him and I immediately get out of the car. He doesn't get to talk to her because my fist lands on his jaw, unbalancing him.

I grab him by the collar of his shirt and pull him a little further, so that the world won't see me. "Get in the car!" I say to Alekseeva, but out of the corner of my eye I see that she is not moving. "Alekseeva! Go up!" I tell her more bluntly, but she shakes her head no. "I want to see!" she says to me and I roll my eyes. I turn my gaze to Ethan who was barely standing. "Do you like putting GHB in girls drinks?" I ask him, punching him again. And again. And again. And again. Until he fell down and his face is full of blood. "Next time, think twice about what you want to do." I say to him, I turn my gaze towards Alekseeva, I gently grab her arm and we head towards the car.
