Resentful Damon - Vampire Diaries

Chapter 2

It was 11 am, my lovely brother was about to come home and I had to admit that I was getting more and more impatient, and excited just thinking about his reaction. I just unpacked my suitcase after having it done this morning. What a waste of time! But my choice to stay a bit longer was made at the last moment! I went back to the bedroom I had left only an hour ago. I then went back and turn the TV on. The local news was talking about the murder of young people, and for once, I wasn't guilty of it. Yeah, because it was more than obvious that a vampire did that! But along all those murders, there was one case that picked my attention. A whole family killed, five persons but one survivor. A young lady apparently had apparently nothing, but they didn't say her name. Only one question came into my mind: Why? A vampire would never let a girl live, normally he doesn't keep ANY witness.

To my opinion, he must know her and he turned her into a vampire. Or maybe terrify her before killing her. Poor girl.

But, it wasn't any of my business. I decided to take another shower, just to relax a little. Once I was done, I got out but heard a small noise, like a crack, barely audible. I slowly got down, still with my towel around my waist and went to see, but nothing. It was weird, but I wasn't in the mood to nick pick, if there was nothing, nothing! I went up to dress and wait then for Stefan, my dear brother Stefan!

I couldn't stop thinking about this dear Elena. Her similarity so confusing with Katherine was confusing. How could it be possible? Katherine was my first love, this kind of love that we sadly never forget. And, unfortunately, this first love surely was going to be the last. I got a glass of Bourbon and I was going to sit when I suddenly heard of the screech of tires and a big noise. An accident just happened.

Extern's POV

A young girl was driving without really knowing where to go, her emotions getting her lost in her deepest thoughts. She was lost and wherever she'll go, she'd be new. This poor girl just had lost her family, that was killed by an unknown person, she didn't even see it. She was driving, remembering, again and again, her mother's face, with her big heart, and her father, with his humor, her sisters that helped and listened to her. She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the sound of her tire. And she only realized it only when she hit a tree.

Damon's POV

I got out of the house and saw a car against a tree near the mansion. I hated the idea of changing the landscape around the Salvatore mansion. It was the only thing that stayed the same as our human time. Who was the dumb guy that had this accident? They didn't know how to drive or what? And what was he doing here anyway?! There's nothing near the mansion.

The car was upside down and in a poor state, the windows were completely broken. I got closer and just froze. The accident victim, it was our Elena. She was waking, weakly opening her eyes while blood running out of her head. She was looking at me, scared, tears in her eyes. But why was she crying? I looked around and then talked to her.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt somewhere?" He softly asked, observing her wound where the blood was coming out.

"... the head... I'm cold", she weakly whispered.

"Okay, I'm getting you out of the care. But your hands under, yes like this, don't move okay?"

She approved with a weak movement of the head. Her belt was blocked and it was what that was holding her back upside down. I pulled it off, hoping she wouldn't wonder my strength, because I just pulled without real efforts, which was so not normal. I softly got her out of the car, trying to make her stand up and I stared at her. She was intensely looking at me, like her eyes were looking right through me, and she whispered "thanks" barely audible before losing consciousness. I caught her before she fell and I smiled. It was Katherine, but softer and more sensitive it seemed, I was sure of it, without even knowing her. But I thought about my revenge, the one I absolutely wanted to do. I will do it, despite everything. And besides, it was because she was human that I was considering her soft.

I brought her into my room and softly put on my bed. I then went to the car to see what she left and saw, at my biggest surprise that there were suitcases. She was already about to leave? I slowly went back to the mansion, still moved by what I saw. She wanted to leave, when she didn't even speak to me yet? As soon as she will get to know me, she wouldn't, she mustn't be able to leave without me.

I heard her sigh after a while, sign that she was awake now. I went to see her, slowly hitting the door. She told me to get in and I entered, discovering she was afraid, and worried, looking for something or someone familiar. But she wouldn't find anything.

I started the conversation.

"So, are you feeling better?" I asked, trying to smile.

"Yes", she whispered quickly.

"Tell me, do you remember what happened?"

"Huh... yes, vaguely. But who are you?"

"..."

"I mean, what is your name?" She started again when I didn't say anything.

"Oh... my name is Damon Salvatore and... you?"

"Elena G... Elena", she answered.

I pretended to think, I wanted to know why she left... got an idea.

"Well, since you're feeling better and you don't have any after-effect, should I bring you home?"

And then, what I saw surprised me. She looked down and quickly turned red. A tear went down her beautiful cheek and I felt bad to be the one doing that to her unconsciously.

"Elena... Elena, what's happening?" I whispered, getting closer to her.

"I... I don't... I don't have a home... here. I don't have a home at all." She started to cry, hiding her face in her hands.

I instinctively took her in my arms and try to comfort as I could. So she didn't want to leave? I was reassured, because my revenge couldn't accomplish without her.

You mean you want her to stay?

What?! Oh god, now I have a conscience talking to me! I'm turning stupid! I looked at Elena who was silently watching me, lost in my thoughts. I then suggested to her:

"Then I have a solution: you can come to live here as long as you need until you find a solution or a flat. Do you agree?" I offered and she looked at me. She seemed to hesitate then her look grew lighter and she jumped into my arms.

"Thank you so much, but you... you're sure?"

"Certain. I'm going to go pick up my suitcase in your car, at least what's left of it!"

I got down at human speed and try to look as handsome as I could because I was so sure she looking at me from the window, or admired me to be precise. I went back upstairs to join her.

"So you're not going to stay in this room 'cause... actually, It's mine, but you'll get in the one next door."

"Oh okay then, I did think it seemed occupied!"

I brought her to the next room and put her suitcase in the room.

"Thanks a lot, I'll pay rent and help for the housework and..."

"Oh, calm down! For the housework, if you want to but for the rent, no! I don't want you to, because there is no need!

"Thank you for that, I..."

"No problem"

I went down and noticed it was 1 pm, Stefan was going to go home, so impatient!

He's going to be happy when he will see mini Katherine. I was such in a good mood, happy with myself, she must think I am SUPER nice (which is true), and that we are going to be friends! Poor thing, so many illusions!
