Don't Know How Much I Love You

Chapter 5

I kissed back. I've waited like five hundred years to do that.

He pulled away, smiling. "You know, I never even got your name."

"Isabelle. Isabelle Fortuna." I giggled.

"Ah, my darling Isabelle. You know, I think I could use you as my dark princess, rule the world, and what not." He said, staring off into space.

"I would be delighted, my handsome knight." I giggled.

He beamed at me. "I should let you get to sleep now. You may need your rest, for that dreadful human farm."

"Don't you mean High School? I don't even know why I told Bonnie I would go!" I groaned.

"You talked to Bonnie?"

I nodded. "I was sleeping last night, and she reached me in my dreams, asking for my help. I told her I would transfer to the high school here, the dreadful, boring place."

"Then, to make it less dreadful, you should sleep."

I shook my head. "I only sleep once every week. I don't really need to. It's just a habit."

He nodded. "I should get going, or my dear little brother will kick me out, again."

I giggled. "AGAIN!"

"Oh, yes. Again. He isn't too fond of me hanging around Elena. I don't blame him. After what happened with Katherine, he is afraid she'll get to attached to me, you know?"

I nodded, "Are you leaving the boardinghouse?" He nodded. "What about Katherine?"

He gulped. "I didn't think about her."

"At least see if she is near here." I told him, and I dragged him through my room and toward the window.

"That would be her." I said, pointing to a white and gold fluff of feathers on a tree branch just outside my window. Damon gasped.

"THAT is KATHERINE!" He whispered. I nodded.

You are going down, Katherine! I thought towards her. She fluffed her wings and flew away. Damon looked at me.

"What did you say?"

"I told her, she is going down. Simple as that."

He nodded. "I don't know if I should leave now."

I giggled. "Is little Dammy-wammy scared of a little owl/girl?"

He growled and jumped me. I landed on the bed.

"Don't you dare tease me, Princess."

"Oh, pul-eze. I could take you any day."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Take me right now!" Damon's sentence made me freeze.

I unfroze quickly and tackled him. I pinned him down without effort, and he couldn't move.

"I think I win." I laughed.

He growled.

I nodded. "Goodnight, Damon."

"Night, Princess." He murmured. I rolled my eyes.

I closed the door to my room and sat down by the window. The tree was bare, and I was wondering where the owl was living. I had to get to Bonnie, and I felt bad that I might have to use her, if she wasn't willing.

I heard a door click just down the hall and Damon murmur something about his idiot brother. He and I would get along well.

You wish! Damon thought towards me. I didn't think I was projecting.
