The Discovery

Chapter 8 First Date

AN: this has part of season 4 episode 21 in it. So Elena's humanity is off and Damon is trying to turn it on.

It has now been a week since my first day at Mystic Falls high and I have kept my distance from most kids. Expect for Matt. He even asked me out. Yes he freaking asked me out. It was weird really being here for such a short amount of time and getting a date. I never would have thought of it in Beacon Hills not that I planned to date here. It's not that I never planned to date it's just that I don't do well in social situations and I somehow end up friends with mysterious older men who don't even go to school. Not creepy guys (though I would call them creepy) so not pedo old old men. Even though I've kept my distance Elena has been really weird lately and it's been bugging me. I just can't shake it.

"Hey you ready?" Someone asks from behind me. I jump turning around quickly seeing matt standing there.

"I didn't hear you knock." I say smiling at him.

"Your Mum was going out as I got here. So are you ready to go?"

"Oh yeah sorry. I'll just grab my bag."
I walked over to the other end of my room grabbing my bag and slinging the strap over my shoulder. I took a big breathe and walked out with him.

We are now sitting in the Mystic grill across from each other at a table in the back corner giving us a little privacy.

"So how have you found the town so far?" Matt asks a small smirk on his face.

I laugh, "oh god well the first 2 days were brilliant then my first day of school I get followed by a creep so first impressions were great."

"I'm a creep now. Hah I thought you would call me worse." Says a dark voice from behind me I can just hear the smirk in his voice when I turn and see the dark haired man. Damon. He just had to ruin my date.

"Well it's one word for you." I say trying my best to balance my voice and look at him.

"Oh I'm far worse then a creep I'm a..." Damon stops talking to look around before leaning right down to my ear. His cold breath touching my ear sending shivers down my spine as he whispers, " I'm a serial killer."

In a flash. Crack. Dead. Date. Neck. Vampire. Damon. Matt. Seconds.

A single tear rolls down my face as I look up at Damon who has just broken the neck of one of his friends, my date, killing him. I'm in utter shock my mouth is open a few more tears staining my face as I hold my hand to my mouth shaking. That's when I see Damon turn to Elena and Stefan? I hadn't seen them standing there.

"How about now? You feel anything now?" Damon snaps looking at Elena. Stefan standing just behind her a warning look in his eyes.

"What are you talking about? Why did you kill him? He didn't do anything?" I stress searching for answers in a scene I did not plan on being involved in.

Damon shoots me a look as to say shut up before going on, "look." He holds up matts limp arm showing a ring he's wearing.

It seems to take something off of Elena's face I think it's pain but I don't know.

"Can you feel that weight lifting? That's joy." Says Damon.

Elena starts crying and I can see so many different emotions flood her face that's when Stefan tells her to hold on to the thing that makes her want to live before disappearing with her.

"He will wake up." Says Damon the smirk on his face gone.

I understand what he said but it doesn't register so I keep staring at him shaking until he sighs.

"The ring is magic it means he can't die. He'll wake up. I had to turn her humanity on. I'm all for being bad and evil but you need to be ok with it she wasn't." He says his smirk finally coming back as he finished talking.

Damon left. I'm still shaking but I haven't cried still and matt hasn't woken up yet.

There was a load gasp. I looked down as matt was opening his eyes.

"Oh thank god he wasn't lying." I laugh as I finally start crying.

"Hey I'm here, Damon can't get rid of me he loves me too much." Laughs matt weakly.

I laugh lying into his arm only just realising that the Mystic grill is literally empty except for us.

The next morning I'm still on edge after seeing Damon blatantly kill matt in front of me. After he whispered he was a serial killer in my ear I can't help wonder when he will kill again. A serial killer doesn't just stop and knowing Damon he won't. That's when a presence snaps me out of my thoughts. I turn and there he is standing in my bedroom. My bedroom door is shut and no one is home. Our neighbours is a house in the woods that belongs to the Salvatore's.

"We need to talk." He says his fangs out his eyes puffy with black veins as he hisses at me.

This is it.
