Damon Salvatore

Everybody is excited for the trip to Hampton.

We couldn't compel our way to first class.

And we had to fly coach.

Coach.

First class to Hampton = FULLY BOOKED.

Matt is seated with Caroline.

Stefan is seated with Elena.

Jeremy is seated with Bonnie.

Damon is seated with Candace.

And we aren't seated in our own rows.

Candace is seated on my right, and there's this old lady who's seated on my left, who kept looking at me and left Candace laughing so hard.

" Couldn't you just compel her to stop looking at you? " she said

I looked at the old lady.

" You know, sonny, you looked like one of my boyfriends when I was young. " the old lady said.

I just smiled at her and looked back to Candace.

" Dax? "

" Yeah? "

" She recognizes me. "

" What? "

" She told me that I looked like one of her boyfriends when she was young. "

" Why would you believe her?! She's ancient. "

I looked at her.

" Oh, right. "

" Yeah. "

" Switch. " she said

" What? "

" Let me sit on where you're sitting. Switch."

And we did.

" Just listen well. " she said

" What are you-"

" Shh! "

She tapped the lady.

" Hey, ma'am. " she said

I heard Stefan laughing.

" Good job, Damon. " I heard him said.

" Whatever, baby bro. " I said

And now both of them are laughing.

Elena and Stefan are laughing.

" Damon? What? " Candace said

" Nothing. "

" Shut up. "

I nodded.

" Hey, ma'am? " and now the old lady is up.

And she smiled at Candace.

" Hello, how are you? I haven't seen you since high school, dear. " the old lady said to Candace.

Candace held my hand so tight.

" Excuse me? " Candace said

" Oh! You're obviously young. You must look like your mother. "

Gripping.

Candace is gripping my hand.

This is freaky.

We're sitting down with an old lady that obviously recognized me and Candace.

Well, not that freaky.

I am remarkable.

" I remember that you're boyfriend has a brother-" the old lady said

" Stef, are you listening to this? " I said although he's 15 rows away from us.

" Yep. Every word. " he replied from a distance.

" What are you doing, Damon? " Elena said

" I'm not doing anything, I'm letting Candace do the talking. " I said

" Old lady problems? " Caroline said from a distance.

" Worse. Old lady recognizes Candace and Damon. " Elena said

" Oh. That's-" Caroline said

" Damon? Can we switch again? " Candace said

" Old lady has been freaking Candace out?" Caroline said

" Yeah, switch. " I said

Then we're back in our original seats.

" Hey, sonny. " the old lady was tapping my arm.

I looked at her.

" You'll shut up from this time untill the flight ends, you're going to sleep until the flight ends, and you didn't see us. " I compelled her.

Then she immediately fell asleep.

" You did it? " Candace said

" Yes. "

She sighed.

" She actually recognized me. " she said

" She remembered me. "

" Based on what you saw, how old do you think she is? "

" I'll say, 60, or 69. "

" That gives us timeframe. Sorta. "

" You were here 60 years ago? "

" Probably. "

" We'll talk about this at Hampton. "
