pretty brown eyes and a mind full of thoughts

SUMMER had been long and hard. The twins and Damon have spent almost every waking moment trying to find Stefan who had ran off with Klaus after giving himself up to save Damon from a werewolf bite - Klaus' blood was the cure, unsurprisingly.

Echo groaned as light poured down on her front the window's in her room, and she rolled over, covering her head with the blanket.

"Oh, come on sleepy pants," Damon's voice entered her ears which made her groan even louder. "Come on, El, it's your birthday."

Echo's eyes opened from under the pillow, and she frowned. "What?" She sat up and turned to the blue eyed vampire who had slept the night in her room. "My birthday?" She shook her head. "It's not my... oh!" She exclaimed.

"You forgot your own birthday?" Damon questioned, staring at Echo with an amused expression.

She pursed her lips. "No... I just forgot that I am not my own person anymore, and I share a birthday with someone." She then grinned and raised an eyebrow at Damon.

He smiled at her. "What do you want for your birthday?"

Echo clicked her tongue and thought for a second. "A pony."

Damon rolled his beautiful blue eyes. "Something I can realistically purchase."

She crossed her arms and smirked up at him. "You can realistically purchase a pony for me if you try hard enough." Damon was unamused as he looked at her. "Okay, fine. But, I don't know what I want?"

He frowned at her. "You don't know what you what?"

"Didn't I just say that?" She sassed before sighing. "No... I usually don't get things for my birthday. The last time I got anything was on my sixteenth birthday and it was a dagger. A pretty dagger, but it wasn't something special. And then for my eighteenth birthday, I was finally able to drive my dads car. I wrecked it and if looks could kill, I wouldn't be here right now."

Throughout the summer, there had been many questions for her on her other life, and she had answered them truthfully. She saw no reason to lie to her new family.

Damon frowned at her. "You never got anything special for your birthday?" He asked and she shook her head. "Well, this year, I'm going to give you the best present you'll ever receive."

She shook her head. "You don't have to, Damon. I'm fine with just having the party Caroline wants to throw for me and Elena."
