Possessed by Damon Salvatore

Chapter 23

I wake up the next morning to a gloomy sky and find Damon wrapped around me like a twine.

I take my time to appreciate his beauty, his flawless skin, his long eyelashes fanned out, his parted lips. Mmm.. I breath him in. I move, careful not to disturb him but he can sense my slightest movement and opens his eyes. Scorching blue eyes stare into my brown ones.

"Ann, you are so beautiful", he complimented.

"Good morning to you too," I reply, causing him to smirk.

I smirk back and move to get out of the bed. Damon pins me with a little of his weight and asks "don't leave yet", his voice sexy.

I choose to ignore him because I knoe I will not be able to resist his eyes, if I look at him, which will make me late for school.

I stumble out of the bed and make my way to the bathroom to get ready for school.

I meet Elena at my front door and Damon is nowhere to be seen. I called him up but he didn't pick up.

"Hey, where's Stefan"? I ask.

"Don't know. Didn't pick up his cell", she replied glumly.

"Thats weird because neither Damon's picking up his cell and ain't called back yet.", I say.

"Could they be in some trouble?", Elena voices out my fear.

On the way, we are met by Bonnie and our conversation shifts but there is worry at the back of my mind.

The day passes without any interesting issue. And I find myself making my way to the car, followed by Elena, Bonnie and Caroline.

I am distracted by Caroline's chatter about the Dance that she's arranging in the school. Bonnie is bored to death. Her expression shows it all.

Instead of going to my house directly, I take a detour to the Salvatore Mansion.

I park my car and walk to the door.

I knock, twice, thrice. No answer.

"Damon?", I call.

No answer. The whole surrounding is silent.

Where did they go? I take out my cell and call Elena.

"Hello", her voice comes from the other end.

"Hey, its Annette. Did you hear from Stefan?", I ask, nervous.

"Um, no. I was about to go to his place", she replied.

"I'm already here but looks like nobody is home", I sigh.

"What do you mean nobody is home? One of them always stays", he asks, tensed.

"I mean that the area is at a stand still. No one's around."

Worried, I return to my car to go to Elena's place.

As I reach her house, I find her pacing in the driveway, with an anxious expression.

"No sign of anyone. Damon's cell is switched off", I inform her.

"So is Stefan's", she replies.

I rush to hug her tight because she looks like she might faint in the very moment because of the stress. We enter the room, with nothing to do than wait.
