BELLE GROANED AS HER EYES OPENED GROGGILY she sat up from the couch she had been laying on and placed a careful hand to her vanishing headache

"Rise and shine Princess." Icy blue eyes entered her line of vision and memories from earlier today came flooding back. The redhead squealed as she attempted to push herself farther away from the raven haired vampire.

Minuscule hurt flashed through his eyes but it was gone quickly. He moved closer to the scared girl slowly as though she was the animal "I'm not going to hurt you."

Belle's hand came in contact with flesh she glanced backwards only to see Vicki Donovan laying on the couch, a towel placed to what appeared to be her bloody neck. Belle shrieked turning to look at the man before her with wide eyes "You killed her!"

Damon scoffed "I didn't kill her." Belle poked the younger girl gingerly before raising a sceptic eyebrow at the vampire "She looks pretty dead to me."

"But she's not."

"How about Zach."

"Oh yeah he's pretty dead."

Belle's throat clamped up, her heart began to beat rapidly as she looked at the predator scared out of her wits. Her demeanour reminded Damon of a scared rabbit "Am I next." She asked her voice small as she stared in his crystal eyes.

"No." His tone was fierce as though the thought of him killing her was almost impossible. The redheads lips twitched upwards slightly at that but quickly resumed to their pursed position upon remembering the situation.

Damon sighed running a hand through his hair "I need to make a call. J-just stay here. Please." For some reason Belle felt compelled to abide even through he had not actually compelled her and if she were to run he would not be able to catch her do to the daylight outside.

But yet she stayed on the couch next to Vicki and awaited his return. He kneeled down next to the unconscious girl "I got you good, didn't I." He muttered his eyes raking over her figure, the action causing an unfamiliar feeling in Belle's stomach.

Belle watched sick fascination as the man bit into his wrist and slid into her mouth. Her eyes widened as she watched her wound disappear as though it was never really there in the first place.

"Your blood." She gasped in amazement. "It heals people." A proud smirk played on Damon's pale lips "Smart Princess."
And Belle couldn't help the blush that rose to her cheeks.

SILENCE FILLED THE ROOM AS BELLS SAT on the couch glancing towards the man every once again "If your going to go around killing people I think you should invest in an army of Llamas." Damon looked bemused at the girls sudden words "I-I'll think about it."

Belle nodded her head "That's good." She muttered softly before silence filled the two again.

"So are you like Edward or Dracula" Damon's mouth formed into a small grin, Belle's mouth matching his own "Defiantly more Dracula."

"Cool." Belle flustered for a second "I mean not cool. Because killing people isn't cool." She reprimanded sternly although she wasn't sure who it was directed to Damon or herself.

Damon chuckled softly "You're a real interesting person, Princess." Once again Belle cheeks warmed as she gave the vampire a nervous smile "Does that mean you won't kill me."

SOMEHOW IN A CHANGE OF EVENTS Belle found herself slow dancing with Damon, next to them Vicki who had awakened was ranting uselessly

"My mom spends most of her time in Virginia beach with Pete. He drives trucks. I don't remember my dad, but from what I can gather he's not worth remembering." She spoke, somehow sobbing and speaking at the same time.

Damon looked uninterested as he spun Belle round in a circle a slight smile on his face upon seeing her wide one "Your life is so pathetic." Belle elbowed the vampire "Damon that's rude." She muttered scolding him before giving the younger girl a sympathetic smile "I'm sorry Vicki."

"Yeah, I mean I'm the screwed up one. Matt's got it easy. He's the golden boy. He's gonna get a football scholarship and marry Elena. When I think of my future. I come up blank." Vicki continued much to Damon's displeasure. "You are so damaged."

Belle scowled one again elbowing the man "And you are rude." The vampire threw her wink causing her to get flustered and advert her eyes, she excused herself making her way to the bathroom.

The first she noticed upon reentering the living room was Vicki neck which seemed to twisted to the side as she lay limply on the ground.

Belle blinked blankly as she looked between the raven haired vampire who sat carelessly in the couch sipping on his bourbon. "Is she dead?"

Damon nodded. The redhead blanched as she began to fumble with her fingers "I want to go home." She muttered softly avoiding the hurt vampires eyes

"Princess-"

She sighed finally meeting his icy blue eyes "Please. Damon take me home."

THAT NIGHT BELLE LAID on her bed. The events from earlier leaving her unable to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes she would see Vicki's dead body.

With a sigh the redhead removed herself from her tangled sheets and made her way to her book shelf where she grabbed her copies of 'twilight' and 'Dracula' and made her way downstairs where she grabbed a match before making her way back to her room.

She threw the books into her bin, she then lit the match and tossed it in. She watched monotonously as the flames danced. "Definitely not cool."
