Angel Eyes (Damon Salvatore) Ch4

‘Elena, I’ll be fine’ I tried to reassure her but by the sound of her voice she didn’t sound convinced. ‘I’m not leaving you here, alone’. I sighed, this girl was stubborn. ‘After the talk you and Stefan gave Damon yesterday I’m sure he won’t be coming back anytime soon’. Well that was a lie and Elena knew that as well. ‘Aislinn just give up, I’m not going to the party’ Elena told me. I was wrong this girl wasn’t stubborn she was impossible. ‘What about Bonnie? She’s expecting you’ I tried to reason ‘I’ll call her and make up some excuse’ She replied. I was now ready to bang my head on a wall; I never realized how hard it would be to get a teenager to go to a party. ‘Elena you can’t just give up your social life for me’ I told her in a sweet voice ‘No Aislinn’ she sighed ‘Please, Elena I’m begging you’ I said exasperated, and then if someone answered my prayers there was a knock at the door. ‘Stay here’ Elena told me and then I heard the sound of here footsteps going towards the front door. I smiled as I heard the sound of Bonnies voice. ‘Hi Aislinn’ Bonnie greeted before I felt myself being hugged ‘Hi’ replied returning the hug. ‘So are you ready to go?’ Bonnie asked ‘Uh-’ Elena went to answer but I cut her off ‘Yes, she’s more then ready’ ‘Great’ Bonnies tone was more then enthusiastic. ‘Have fun’ I told them ‘Oh, we will. See you later Aislinn’ and then there was footsteps leading towards the front door before the door was opened then shut. 1

I sighed a breath of relief; Elena was finally off her “Duties” of watching out for me, I was free. I stood up and felt my way over to the couch; I sat back into the cushions. Part of me was wanting him to just appear like he always did, while the other part of me wasn’t sure if I wanted him to step foot in the house again. I listened as the clock chimed indicating it had struck another hour. I didn’t know what to feel about Damon and this whole situation, I knew that there was a very high possibility that he could kill I the blink of an eye and feel no guilt in doing it. He was a murder, he killed people to live. That sadly, didn’t seem to make my newly found obsession stop. I had to find out more about him. Stupid obsession.2

I laughed to myself as I thought how Elena would be stressing about me. I jumped as I heard a knock at the door before a voice called out; ‘Aislinn, its Stefan. Can I come in?’. I frowned slightly. They were taking turns being in the annoying over protective parent. ‘Come in Stefan’ I called. ‘Hello Aislinn’ Stefan’s voice rang right beside me causing me to jump. ‘Oh, stop acting all innocent’ I told him, ‘Excuse me?’ He asked confused ‘Elena sends her minion vampire to watch me’ I huffed. I heard Stefan ‘We only do it because we want you to stay safe’. ‘You mean that you’re just making sure your brother doesn’t all of a sudden decide to take a sip of my blood’ I said half sarcastically. There was nothing but silence, just the sound of the clock ticking back and forth. ‘Well I’m going to bed’ I wasn’t in the mood to talk to minion boy. ‘Would you like some help up the stairs?’ he asked as I stood up ‘No thank you’ I answered feeling around for the stair railing. Once I found it I slowly made my way up the stairs but not before tripping up one of the steps and landing face first. As soon as I felt my cheek collide with the step two, hands grabbed me and pulled me back up. ‘Aislinn? Are you alright?’ Stefan asked his voice frantic. ‘Just dandy’ I muttered, ‘Let me get some ice for your face’ he told me letting go, when I stopped him ‘I just want to go to bed’, I could tell by his silence that his was disapproving but helped me to my room anyway.3

‘I’ll be down stairs if you need me’ Stefan said as I got into bed I nodded before I heard the light turn of f and the door being shut followed by footsteps descending down the stairs. I brought my hand up to my cheek, feeling pain strike through it I winced and brought my hand back down. I sighed, he wasn’t coming, maybe what Elena and Stefan said to him made him second think his little visits. I rolled over, shutting my eyes before falling into a restless sleep.4

I woke up to the feeling of someone sitting on the end of my bed, I immediately sat up hearing a chuckle, it was him. ‘Well, hello sleeping beauty’. I felt a slight breeze and then he was standing right beside me, I felt a tiny bit of fear rise in me ‘Are you still scared of me?’ he asked with a smirk in his voice. ‘No’ I lied. ‘Hm, you should hear your heart’ he paused but the smirk never left his voice, ‘It tells a different story’. I got a shock as I felt his hand touch my probably now bruised cheek. ‘How’d you get this?’ he asked, I laughed slightly ‘I tripped up the stairs’. ‘Why were you going up the stairs alone?’ he demanded. Damon was like a woman with his mood swings. Unpredictable. ‘Ah, no Stefan was here’ I answered instantly regretting it as I felt Damon tense up. ‘If it helps I think it getting better already. You know what they say’ I paused ‘Well I don’t know what they say, but the point is I’m feeling better so there’s no need to worry’ I tried to reassure him; somehow I knew he wasn’t convinced. ‘Damon I’m fine’ I told him. ‘Fine, I’ll wait until later to talk dear Stefan’ he muttered .5
