Be Careful When You Bite Me

“You sleep a lot,” Xavier said, munching on a piece of bread.

I thought that vampires don’t eat?

“Leave her alone, she had a long day,” Asia chimed in, sliding a plate with eggs, bacon and fruit my way,” eat up.”

“Good morning,” I replied tiredly, munching on a piece of bacon,” thank you for washing my clothes and breakfast.”

Asia’s smile lit up the entire room almost as much as the sun did,” my pleasure, I’m going to miss you when you’re gone.”

I nodded, suddenly losing my appetite,” I’ll miss you too.”

The drive back to the castle was silent. The tension made the air thick and I could tell it came from Damon’s confusion towards how I acted last night. I couldn’t keep up the act, I didn’t know how to, and so I remained silent for the entire ride.

When the car finally reached the main gates of the castle, my eyes flashed with pictures of the hard cold pavement walls of the cell Damon had put me in. I swallowed back my fear and reminded myself of the plan.

I turned towards Damon as the car stopped in front of the back entrance,” thank you for bringing me back.”

He examined my face for a couple of seconds with a thoughtful look on his face,” Asia says you’re welcome to go back whenever you please.”

I smiled,” thank her for me.”

I stepped out of the car and into the castle, memories flooding me like a waves of misery. I didn’t wait for Damon, instead I marched up, back to the room I thought I wouldn’t have to see again.

I jumped into the covers and sobbed uncontrollably for a couple of hours until I head my door open.

I sat up abruptly and demanded,” who is it?”

To my surprise, in walked in Isabelle and Seth.

“Look who’s back,” she greeted, the expression on her face clearly amused,” I didn’t think I’d get to see you again.”

I almost wanted to groan out loud at this point. I was sick and tired of people like Seth and Isabelle making my life here worse then it already was.

“I guess you couldn’t find someone to help you out after all,” Seth chimed in.

“What do you want,” I demanded, my voice steadier than I had predicted.

Isabelle came face to face with me, her finger nail dragging down my neck,” I know you told him.”

I felt myself swallow and realized she was talking about telling Damon.

I stayed silent.
