Damon Salvatore was riding his horse, Shadowmere, through the woods one early evening. His brother, Stefan, was hanging out with the girl that everyone thought he had fallen for. Katherine was nothing like everyone thought she was. She was cruel, and attempted to compel anyone at any chance she got. Did I forget to mention that she was a vampire? His father slipped vervain in his drink one evening, and Damon discovered this unsettling information. Back to the present.
Shadowmere is galloping through the woods, with Damon on his back, not a care in the world. Then suddenly, he slips. Damon is thrown back, breaking two of his ribs, while Shadowmere lands in a horrendous position and breaks his neck. Damon slowly, and painfully, crawls towards him, then suddenly stops after hearing a twig snap.
Elijah's POV:
I was traveling through the woods one day to get away from my commanding brother, Niklaus, when I heard a loud crash. I went to inspect the sound, finding a surprisingly beautiful young man, and what I predicted to be his horse lying dead in the road. The man was steadily half crawling, half limping his way to his horse when I stepped on a stick, the man quickly glared my way as I went to aid him.
I rushed up to him, he pointed to his horse, and immediately I understood. This man wanted me to help his horse over his own life. I tore my fangs into my wrist and poured some blood into the horses mouth. He was dead. I rushed up to the man and fed him my blood. He said "I suppose not all vampires are monsters, I'm Damon, charmed to meet you." I looked at him in admiralty and surprise. How did this Damon know I was a vampire? I stared into his icy blue eyes. Fighting the urge to keep looking, I looked away. No one has had this impact on him in a very long time. A "NEIGH" was heard which grabbed both the attention of him and the man in front of him. After Damon checked on the horse, Elijah quickly compelled him to forget and carry on, and with that, he was on his way.
This is my first REAL fanfic, I hope that this first chapter is okay, or at least semi-decent. I can't help that I am in love with this ship. They always look at each other in the most longing way, do you know what I mean? Thanks for reading!
