Mystic Falls - 1855

Damon Salvatore was a respectible young man living in Mystic Falls, Virginia. He was fifteen years old and had a younger brother named Stefan who was eight. They were currently both playing in the front yard when a carriage pulled up towards their family's estate. His father, Giuseppe Salvatore came outside and greeted his friend, Michael Forbes. Apparently, they were the leaders of the town's council.

Damon looked up as the carriage came to a stop. He jumped up excitedly as Michael's youngest daughter Rosalinda Forbes, though she strongly preferred Rose, hopped out of the carriage and ran over towards her best friend. They were both inseperable since birth and no one could break such a tight bond, not even their parents.

Both father's watched disapprovingly as the two youngsters shared a long and meaningful hug. Giuseppe found his eldest son to be a great disappointment, while Michael found Stefan a more suitable companion. And a lthough she was only twelve years old, four years older than Stefan, the father's had already arranged their marriage.

"Hello Mr. Salvatore," she  grinned and winced as she did the required curtsy. 

Damon laughed at her pained expression. She hated curtsying. "Why hello there, Ms. Forbes." He paused and gave her a sly smirk. "How long has it been? Sixteen hours?"

Rose giggled and whispered. "No, thirteen but I still missed you." 

Damon's eyes gleamed as he stared at the girl in front of him. He has had a crush on her since he was eight. Everything about her screamed at him to make her his. Her gorgeous smile, her plump pink lips, her golden blonde hair and those eyes. Those blue eyes that matched his perfectly although sometimes hers were bluer, much darker, especially when she threw a tantrum, which was rare but funny to see.

"I missed you too Rose," he told her and resisted the urge to kiss her. "Here," he said and handed her a white Lily. Her favorite flower. 

Rose smiled and kissed his cheek gently. "Thank you, Damon." 

Damon couldn't do anything but smile. He was hard falling for this girl and he knew it in his heart that deep down he would ask her to marry him one day. He promised himself that Rosalinda Forbes would become his wife.

Mystic Falls - Present Day

Damon Salvatore had arrived to Mystic Falls Virginia about a month ago. It was 2009 and he had return to his home town for one reason and one reason alone. To reunite himself with his one true love. Katherine Pierce. Unfortunately his brother Stefan keeps on interferring with his diabolic schemes and Katherine's doppelganger, Elena Gilbert is his accomplice.

Damon still couldn't fathom as to how Stefan could forget his love for Katherine and go after a girl that looks exactly like her but doesn't act the same. No. Elena was not Katherine. She was annoyingly selfless and would die for her family and friends. Unlike Katherine, who only cared about herself. But Damon didn't blame her because after turning into a vampire, that was the only word he could use to describe himself.

Selfish.

Damon had always done whatever he wanted with whoever he wanted and never, not once did he fear the consequences. Damon had no conscience and his only motivation in life was to save Katherine. Katherine had been discovered as a vampire and was thought to have died in a burning church. But Damon knew the truth. He knew that Emily, her loyal servant and witch, casted a spell to save her.
