Be Careful When You Bite Me

I threw the phone on to the mattress and thought of all the ways this could go wrong. The guard could have noticed me dropping the letter or Damon could have picked up on the fact that I had said strawberries. I wondered if Damon even knew about Dimitiri and Luna and hoped that he didn’t.

I heard the phone buzz and grabbed it.

I recognized the numbers on the screen as the first number Luna had called from.

“Hello,” I answered, hitting pick up,” Luna?”

“Holly, did you do it? Did you see him?”

“Yes I did, he knows. I gave him a note that said I was a friend of yours.”

“Was he..did he look alright?” Luna’s voice was shaky with concern.

“He was alright, he had a scar on his neck, it looked new.”

She was silent for a couple of seconds,” he turned 18 a couple of months ago, they must have already started feeding off him.”

“I’m not sure, but he’s coming to the castle tonight at 8, he’ll meet me at the gates, how am I supposed to have him call you if the guards are with me?”

“You have to find a way to ditch the guards-“

“I can’t, Damon won’t have it.”

“At 8pm, the guards all leave to feed. They leave one guy in charge at the main gates, not the doors where they keep the car but the door before that. You have to do it in a way that he won’t notice.”

“What about the plan, how are we going to get to you?”

“It won’t be tonight, it will be tomorrow. But for today, when the guards leave to feed, they leave the car keys inside of the car, you have to get the keys and give them to Dimitiri-“

“What!” I exclaimed,” that’s not possible, even if it will just be one guard, he’ll see me for sure-“

I’d wait for the guards to leave at exactly 8pm, then I’d get to the main gate where they keep the car. I’d take the key out of the car in hopes of not being noticed by the main guard at the second set of gates, and then I’d
