Damon Salvatore's Little Secret

Chapter 15: Oops My Bad

By now it was 7:20 and Stefan is driving me to school. I look out the window of the passenger and watch as the people of Mystic Falls make their way around town. I sigh uneasily and feel Stefan look at me.

"You ok Lanie?" he asks. I look at him snapping out of my daze as he switches his view between me and the road.

"uh yeah I'm fine I just." I take a deep breath as I feel tears brim my eyes. "I'm just scared." I finish before wiping my eyes casually so a tear wouldn't fall.

"scared of what?" he asks obviously proving that he was half asleep when we were talking this morning. I look down at my fiddling fingers then back up at him.

"what if I hurt myself. Or worse. what if hurt someone else. and they die because of me." I say as I start to cry hating myself for showing weakness. he pulls the car over and looks at me with his 'serious vampire' look.

"you are not going to hurt someone. OK you are to much of a good person to hurt someone." he says smiling a bit. I wipe my eyes again.

"promise?" I ask him glancing at the clock and noticing we're late. he nods.

"pinky promise." he smiles putting up his pinky. I smile and wrap my pinky around his.

"thanks uncle Stef." I say hugging him. he hugs me back.

When we arrive at school Stefan and I rush to the office and compell the secretary to right us a note saying we were needed before quickly heading off to history. I hand our note to Mr.Saltzman before sitting at me seat. He continues on with the lesson as I zone out and stare at the bottle of water on his desk. It was like I was drawn to it. I continued to stare at it before it exploded on his desk spraying him and the first three rows of students. I jump and look at Stefan shocked. he looks back at me and tells me to calm down. I nod and close my eyes taking a deep breath. I look at Mr. Saltzman whose wiping down his desk with paper towels. He looks at me and I force a sympathetic smile. He grabs his phone typing qickly before putting it in his bag. I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket and look at it. It was from Alaric.

'just relax it's OK.' I hit the back button and see the picture that me, my dad and uncle Stefan took before this happened to me. I smile at it and put my phone back in my pocket. When the bell finally rings I grab my stuff and run to my locker. I fiddle with my lock before it finally opens. Stefan walks over with Caroline and they look at me with concern. I feel a tear roll down my cheek as I hold my locker door. I look at Stefan.

"I can't do this. Stefan, okay. I-I have to go home. like now." I tell him sniffling a bit.

"Lanie, it's ok. Alright you just have to relax." he tells me. I nod and take deep breaths. I turn around just in time for someone to intentionally throw water at me. I was sorta pissed.

"oh my gosh I'm so sorry I didn't even see you it was like you were... completely invisible." she mocks with an evil smirk. I glare at her before I notice the crowd around us staring me and some students were holding their phones ready to record. I look at her then Stefan. I couldn't take it. I glare at the student that mocked me until she was in flames. I heard her scream before I lower the flames to see her completely fine. I smirk and walk closer to her getting in her face.

"oh my gosh I'm so sorry maybe you shouldn't be such a bitch." I say before walking out of school. I feel someone tug on my arm. I turn to see Caroline and Stefan behind me.

"Lanie. what the hell was that? are you trying to expose yourself?" Stefan asks quickly. I shrug.

"who cares. I mean if they try to say anything I'll just rip their hearts out." I say flatly. He looks down confused then back up at me with a shocked expression.

"You flipped your switch."
