Damon's Daughter ( VD Fan Fic)

12

Matt walked around Mystic Grill looking for tables that needed to be cleaned up. His hangover wasn't so bad. He just had to avoid looking at the bar.  If he looked at the bar then he would look at the wall of alcohol, and he would remember how fucked up he got the night before. Thanks to Caroline he got home, but he had vomited all over himself. He remembered apologizing to her multiple times and thanking her.. and saying that she was the best ex-girlfriend a guy could ask for. 

Matt had just cleared a table as he saw Faith rush in. Her hair was in two large braids and she wore a white crop top and black biker shorts. She looked good, Matt took his time looking over her body while she looked around the restaurant.  He remembered how he put his foot in his mouth the last time he saw her. He didn't want to ask Bonnie what he did wrong so he googled it. He came across a lot of blog post and small online articles explaining how mixed black women are often considered "not black enough" or "too black".   

"Hey Faith." Matt started 

"Matt" she said flatly looking him in the eyes 

"About last night. I wanted to apologize about what I said. It was highly incorporate of me to make those comments. I didn't mean to come off as an ass. I did so research an-" 

But Faith quickly cut him off and arching her eyebrow "Research?" she questioned

"Yeah, research. How commercials only show one type of mixed black girl and she is "Exotic" and fetishized. Im sorry for putting yo in that box." Matt said 

Faith looked Matt up and down. She was impressed by him. He didnt look as annoying to her as he did when she first came to town. Because they are in the south she was expecting to run into dumb dumbs. But proved to be a friend and not an enemy.

Faith stuck her hand out and Matt looked at her hand for 15 seconds. Faith didn't put it down.

"So you just gonna wait until my hand falls off?" Faith asked 

Matt quickly blushed and took her hand, shaking it. 

"Thanks." Matt mumbled

"Have you seen my dad?" Faith asked snaping back to why she came to mystic grill.

"He hasn't. Why is something up?" Matt asked stepping closer to Faith.

"That guy we saved last night, he's gonna kill him," Faith said scrolling through her phone looking for Elena's phone number. 

"Crap" Faith said not finding her number

"What's up?" Matt asked  standing behind Faith looking through her contacts

"I don't have Elena's number." she turned to look Matt in the eyes

She had refocused her attention from her phone to Matt and relized how close her was. She was a tall girl so his heigth was not intimidating her. Matt blushed hard again and took 3 steps back.

"The hell was that Donovan?" 

Both Faith and Matt looked to the direction of the voice.

It was Damon glaring at Matt from the front door. He strolled over to the two studying how they behaved.

"Dad!" Faith screamed and met Damon halfway. She hugged him tightly and thanked the gods that he didn't smell like blood. She pulled away and looked him deep in the eyes 

"I have been looking all over for you. What did you do to Casey? How did you know I was here?"

Damon smiled at her questions. Sure she was in her late teens but he saw her as a cute toddler. A cute toddler in a crop top. He took off his leather jacket and put it over her shoulders. 

"Well Faith I never got to find the bastared cause sweet Molly put a cloaking spell on him and I lost his sent at the high school." Damon said as he walked over to a table and patted across from him looking at Faith. 

"Hey Donovan can we get an order of cheese fries." Damon said getting rid of Matt. Matt rolled his eyes and walked away.

"Finish answering my questions." Faith said as she took the jacket off.

Damon arched his eyebrow at her and Faith arched her's back. Damon accepted this time because she is sitting and he would win the next round.

"As for how I found you is my little secret." He said smirking at her. 

Faith rolled her eyes knowing he would not tell her a word. 

" So. Molly is a big time witch huh?" Damon asked sitting back in the booth

"Yeah she is. I sometimes think she might be a Goddess. We have had people give offerings of all kinds just for her to bless them."  Faith said thinking back to her childhood. 

"Neat" Damon replied. He was cool on the outside but intimidated on the inside 

Matt returned with the fries gently placing them on the table.

"Enjoy" Matt said but only looked Faith in the eyes

"Watch it" Damon said looking deadly at Matt

Faith rolled her eyes disregarding her fathers actions. She started mixing her ketchup and hot sauce. Damon gave her a look questioning her actions.

"What? Im a souther girl Dad. We like it spicy." She said dipping her cheese fry in her mixture. Damon took a fry and dipped it in her creation.

"Its okay. Could use bacon now." Damon said as he ate more

"Next time Dad." Faith said smiling at him and continued eating.

They caught up on lost time. She told him about her childhood in more detail and he listened. He told her his lighter stories. How he was as a human. Being on the wrong side of the civil war and getting out of fighting in it. It was a warm pure moment between the two. 

Once again they ended the night in mystic grill. 

"How long is this cloaking spell going to last?" Damon asked as he paid the bill  

"No clue. Im sure the didtance has givenher spell a short life span, and the fact that I have no clue how she is cloaking someone she has never seen." Faith said thinking hard

"Good to know." Damon said getting up from the table 

"Why?" Faith questioned following Damon outside.

"I still gotta kill this Casey guy. Your life is in danger as long as he is alive." Damon said looking at his phone.

"What if I tell him to go far far away?" Faith asked with big sad eyes. 

"Sorry kid. too much risk. If he's alive and freely moving he can hurt you." Damon said holding her head between his hands, looking deep in her eyes. "Im sorry hun" he said and kissed he forehead.
