Possessed by Damon Salvatore

Chapter 31

"Ann, I know you can hear me. Wake up, please", I hear Damon's frantic voice but I cannot resurface from the darkness.

I try to open my eyes or move my fingers but I can't.

A few hours have passed, I think and I'm being able to concentrate more on my surroundings.

My eyes fly open and I am greeted by those blue eyes.

Damon hugs me tightly, now that he can use his strength and I crush my lips to his.

"Now you won't be able to get rid of me"' I tease.

"I don't want to", he says, breathing heavily on me. I feel his hands making their way under my shirt and I tear up his shirt. Soon, we are lost in each other. Another legendary night.

We kept talking on and on. About his human life, his ripper days, his obsession with Katherine.

In turn, he asks me about mine and as I have nothing to hide, I go on and on. How mom struggled back when I was a kid. My vain self prior coming to Mystic Falls. My hopes and dreams. Plans for the future. So much we talked about, not getting bored even the slightest bit.

Next thing we know, its morning and time for school.

"You don't have to go to school. You know that, don't you". Damon's offer is almost too good to resist.

"I do have to go. I've got to join a college and then, I shall have my own place", I say.

"Or you could just move in with me", he says, suggestively.

"Um, no thanks", I kiss him on his cheek and go to shower.

The hot water relaxes my muscles, or thats how I feel. Wow, a vampire. Damon had already bought the necessities. A few blood bags. Hopefully, I won't have to kill the students at school. I hope Elene doesn't notice anything or Bonnie or Caroline. Stefan will surely know. Turning the water off, I wrap the towel around myself and step into my room.

Hmm... What to wear. I wonder.

Surprisingly, Damon's not here but I can hear sounds coming from the kitchen. Whats he doing there?

I slip into jeans and a long top and brush my hair. Perfect.

I collect a few books and place it in my bag and taking the bag along, I head downstairs.

Mmm.. a familiar smell greet me. Pancakes?

I hurry down to see Damon struggling with pancakes. I burst out laughing.

"So glad I'm entertaining you. Care to help me", Damon says sarcastically, pouting. It is making me laugh more. I'm laughing so hard that tears have started flowing down my cheeks.

"Yeah yeah, laugh all you want. Damn, whats the problem with these frickin' pancakes", he mutters.

"That is quite a morning show. Give me," I remark, taking the spoon from him.

I pour out the batter and wait for it to get cooked. Meanwhile, I take out the maple syrup and fetch a dish.

I finish eating the pancakes and rush to my car. Huff, school.

I find myself a spot next to Stefan's and park my car there. The lot is almost filled. Elena is here early today. While making my way to our class, I see Tyler and wave at him. He comes up to me and asks " Hey, seen Care?"

"Um, I just arrived. Maybe she's with Elena", I say.

"Yeah, maybe. If you see her, please pass this to her", he says, handing me a note.

"Sure", I say and we part ways.

On my way to the second lesson of the day, I bump into Caroline. I mean, literally bump.

"Ow, hey Caroline. Why are you in such a rush?" I ask, stopping her.

"The Dance is coming. Tomrrow. And yet, these dumbheads haven't even finished with the decorations. I will not it be a miss.", she says in one breath.

"Calm down, Care. It is going to be perfect. It will be the most happening. Here, its from Tyler", I assure her and give her the paper.

"Aww, thank you. By the way, whom are you coming with?" she asked.

Oh no. I never thought that the dance is tomorrow.

"Uh, with Damon." I blurt out.

I hope he doesn't mind. Caroline is skeptical.

"Damon? You sure?" She asks again.

I nod and smile at her.

She smiles back and rushes to her destination.
