Riley was home alone and the feeling was kinda creepy. Damon has told her that he has some work in the city and he would be back before 8 but now the night was approaching pretty fast, it was past 10 now and she was getting all scared. Her house was small and she never felt scared there because when her father wasn't home she felt safe and relaxed but here in this large mansion-like cottage without the presence of Damon she felt scared. Call her a coward or anything cause she has kept all the lights on in the whole place and with each passing second all the horror movies she had watched were going through her mind like a reel and Lord knows that she was not feeling alone at all. It was as if there was a ghost keeping an eye on her and all she wanted to do was run out of the cottage but then again, there was a fre

Not a blink later the lights were back on and she turned to face him who only looked at her sheepishly. "Was just rechecking it." He said with a shrug. Riley took in a deep breath to calm her heart down as she started walking up the stairs and back into the hall. She was cautious and looked around with big eyes in case she spotted the ghost. Walking to the sofa she sat on it and touched her knee where she got the hit only to hiss in pain. She pulled her dress up and stared at the purple and blue bruise now. It would probably take a few days to heal. She shook her head and was about to push the dress down when a calloused hand grabbed her calves and next Mr. Damon was examining her bruise with utmost concern. His thi

"No!" Riley screamed and thrashed, trying to get her arm free but he didn't let go and only tightened his hold on her. "Relax Riley." His voice was a deep baritone causing chills to run down her spine. "Let me go!" She screamed as she wasn't in her senses. She just found out the man who saved her, the man she was living with from the last few days wasn't even human. When he didn't let her arm go, she bit his hand with all her strength which only got him to wince a little but that was it. So she bit him harder but he just didn't let her go. "Riley, listen to me." He said and the calmness of his voice was terrifying. "No! Let me go!" She screamed and yet agai

His eyes moved up to her face and he paused. Her eyes were casted down and she was breathing heavily through her parted, swollen red lips. Moving towards his drawer he took out his lighter and turned it on. She gasped when light filled the small of her surroundings and she could finally see his face. "What did he do?" Damon asked calmly but the anger was clear in his voice.  "Huh?" She said dumbfounded, still trying to come back to the real world. "Did he hurt you somewhere else?" Damon asked while holding her chin between his forefinger and thumb and tilted her face up to examine the bruise. She was too stunned to comprehend. He looked so normal as if

"You're not going anywhere." A deep voice rumbled from behind her and her heart dropped into the pit of her stomach, her hands became sweaty as she clutched the plate tightly and fixed her eyes to the floor.   She could feel his heated gaze drilling holes in her back that goosebumps rose on her flesh.   All of a sudden Kayla tried to stand up, Riley's eyes widened as she immediately tried to stop Kayla from leaving as she grabbed her hand and placed her plate on the coffee table. Riley didn't dare to look behind she only grasped Kayla's hand tightly and pleaded through her eyes that not to leave her alone.   After what she saw last night, she was scared of Damon and not only that, they freaking kissed. She couldn't face him. She didn't have the courage to face him.
