Forgotten

Chapter 9

“ Flesh eaters,” I screamed , completely losing all of my composure.

“ Serena,” Damon said trying to pull me back into his embrace.

“ I can’t take anymore of this fairytale stuff. As if werewolves wasn’t bad enough you just had to add flesh eaters to the mix!” I continued to rant ignoring Damon.

“ I think you just need to go back to sleep,” Damon said softly still trying to reach for me.

“ You want me to sleep knowing there is a flesh eater outside. It may not be a big deal for a werewolf like you but I’m just a human!” I screamed at him.

This time he manages to pull me back to him and I try to fight against him but he’s just too strong. I just wanted to forgot all of this and go back to being naïve. I mean who could blame me. I was getting married at sixteen to a werewolf , my tutor was eaten and I just wanted to go home.

I started crying again into Damon’s shoulder. He sighed and picked me up. He carried me to the bedroom and laid me gently on the bed. He kept stroking my hair and finally I cried myself out. My eyelids felt so heavy I finally fell asleep.

I woke up to sunshine and Damon’s loud snoring. He had me in a vice grip. I tried to remove his arms but he wouldn’t budge.

“ Damon!” I said loudly.

“ What is it,” he said sleepily.

“ Let me up so I can leave,” I told him annoyed.

“ Leave,” he said puzzled.

“ Yes I am going back home,” I told him firmly.

“Serena this is your home ,” he tells me gently while stroking my cheek.

“ Not it’s not. I don’t want to be here. I want to go back home where there is no such things as flesh eaters and werewolves,” I replied back angrily.

“ Serena I know your scared but this is your home and your stuck with me whether you like it or not,” he said giving me his famous smirk.

“ I am not staying here, especially with you!” I screamed.

The next thing I know I’m in his arms. Stunned I look up at his face. He has that smirk on his face but I also see something else, pain.

“ Serena, you will stay here and you will not throw these temper tantrums. I’ll protect you and I will love you until the day I die,” he says quietly staring straight into my eyes.

After that little speech he takes me downstairs and gently puts me in a chair. He then turns on the radio and starts cooking breakfast. I’m not sure what I feel right now. Part of me resents Damon and the other wants to comfort him. Right now I’m telling the second voice to shut up.

“ So are you still wanting to know about flesh eaters?” He asks me after handing me my food.

“ Yes,” I say gulping.

“ Flesh eaters are horrible creatures that feed off of people’s flesh. They show no mercy and once they decide to kill you, your dead. No one really knows where they came from but you can turn into one if your bitten,” he tells me.

“ I don’t think I’m hungry anymore,” I tell him pushing my plate away from me.

“ Sorry I didn’t mean to make you sick,” he apologizes.

“ That’s ok,” I assure him.

“ Your not going to run screaming out of here are you?” he asks amused.

“ No but I am disgusted. Why haven’t you killed those things?” I ask him.

“ We have but not only are they fast but they are strong too, especially their jaws. One broke Michael’s leg once,” He said softly.

“ Breathe Serena,” he tells me firmly.

I do but I could feel the panic. What kind of life was I going to have? One filled with werewolves and flesh eaters . I didn’t want that kind of life. I wanted one where I could go outside without someone trying to eat me.

“ You must be feeling some better considering your daydreaming again,” Damon says.

I look up to see him watching me with interest. Why did everything I do seem to amuse him. I mean honestly you would think I was putting on a show for him.

I must have spaced out again because next thing I knew I was up in his arms .I tried to wiggle free but I was unsuccessful.

“ How about getting dressed and we will go out shopping for the day.” he says .

“ I ‘m not going out there,” I shriek.

“ Serena, what word of I’ll protect you don’t you understand.

“ You said that they were strong,” I pointed out.

“ Yeah but so am I,” he replies back.

“ You said they broke Michael’s leg,” I remind him.

“ That was half his fault because he was showing off,” he said.

“ I think its safer here,” I reply.

He rolls his eyes and says, “ we’re going, end of story!”
