Anastasia

A new friend

"Are you going to be long?" Damon asked, "I want to go feed, but, I need to make sure you're home first" he explained

"Why? I can just blink, can't I?" Damon shook his head

"Because the house doesn't belong to you, it sees you as a guest, therefore you cannot enter, unless I'm there" he explained a little bit better

"Well, give me your keys then, I'll let myself in" I offered, really wanting to stay here and read

"I don't have keys, that's a mortal thing, the house recognises me, and let's me in, otherwise its locked" I was fascinated, but also upset

"But I really want to read" I moaned sounding like a ten year old

"Then bring the book with you" Damon said, sounding bored, he went behind me and picked up the book, handing it to me, I held it to my chest and shook my head

" I can't, I don't even have a library card" I was sad

"You dont need one, again, that's a mortal thing, you just take the book, read it, once finished, you return it" he explained, like it was completely normal, "come on" he held my shoulders "blink please" I looked around a little worried, I felt like I was stealing, but Damon assured I was not.

We blinked home, Damon let go of me, he was leaving to go and feed but I stopped him, holding onto his upper arm, my eyes closed

"Someones coming" I announced, not only could I hear the heartbeat but I could also see, in my minds eye, who it was "it's a man, a good man, black hair, stubble, brown eyes, he's wearing a whit tee with dark grey jeans" I stopped, I opened my eyes to see Damon looking at me with wide eyes, but before he could say anything our guest knocked on the door, without turning his back to me, Damon went to answer the door.

"Damon!, good to see you" the man hugged Damon, Damon bought him into the lounge

"Dylan, let me introduce you to Anastasia, she lives here, Anastasia this is my good friend, my best friend, Dylan" Damon introduced us, Dylan looked at him playfully laughing

"Ooo it's about time you got yourself a girlfriend" Dylan elbowed Damon playfully, Damon just rolled his eyes as if he was annoyed, but I could see the tiny smile on his sexy lips

"About time he got a girlfriend? What do you mean by that?" I asked

"Nothing...." Damon began but Dylan cut him off

"I've known Damon for 300 years, he's never had a girlfriend in that time" then he whispered, "I was starting to think there was something wrong with him, if you catch my drift" he winked at me, it was now Damon's turn to punch Dylan on the shoulder, I could see Damon didn't hit him hard but still Dylan held his shoulder as if it hurt really bad, I laughed covering it up with a cough

"Anyway" Dylan began rubbing his hands together "it's that time of year again"

"What time of year?" Damon asked seemingly confused Dylan rolled his eyes

"My wedding anniversary" he said in a duh tone "you and your girlfriend are invited to my annual party, this friday, at seven in the evening"

"Oh, how exciting, my first supernatural party, I can't wait" I exclaimed, yes I was probably over reacting but this was my chance to meet more people, I hadn't met many people yet, and I was getting bored

"Oh, what's this?" Dylan asked picking up my book

"I picked it up at the library" I told him

"You like to read?" Dylan asked

"I love to read, it's a whole new world to explore, its great"

"And the author? What do you think of him?"

"You make it sound like you know him" I pointed out crossing my arms,

"Well maybe I do" Dylan retorted I scoffed "You'll meet him on friday" he told me as a matter of factly "anyway, see you guys on Friday, but now I must go"

"Well, at least have a drink" I offered

"No thank you Anastasia, I have more people to invite"

"I'll see you out" Damon offered walking behind him, I stayed in the lounge

"My spidey senses tell me she's a keeper, hold on to her" I heard Dylan telling Damon.

Damon came back into the lounge,

"Hey, what immortal being is Dylan?" I asked wanting to know what he meant by spidey sense

"Dylans a lycan" Damon told me, I furrowed my eye brows

"What's a lycan?" I asked

"A lycan is a being that can transform into any animal they want from the tiniest ant to the biggest whale" he sounded like a dictionary. I was amazed by that

"Wow, I wish I could do that, where are you going?" Damon was walking towards the front door

"I have to feed, or I'm going to faint, I'm so hungry" he answered

"Feed from me?" I asked, getting up and walking over to him, Damon shook his head

"Have you forgotten what happened the last time I fed from you?" He asked

"But you have more control now" I told him

"I've been doing this for five hundred years, Anastasia, any control I have disappears when I feed from you" even though this conversation was serious and not romantic I still blushed, I looked down at the ground but Damon lifted my chin, he gave me his signature smirk, and kissed me, my eyes closed, but suddenly it stopped, I opened my eyes to see he was no longer there, he had sped away mid kiss, that was annoying.

New chapter up, enjoy
