Hey everyone, this is my first attempt on publishing a story on ...

So here goes nothing...

POV Damon

I don't know how but that human knew what I am. Seriously, it's no fun being a vampire anymore. I already left Stefan so he could burry himself into his misery, so that entertainment was gone. But what the hell am I supposed to do? Okay I thank the guy who invented Bourbon, and thank God for the girls in the world but hey a guy's gotta eat.

So here I was, in an alleyway near Chicago trying to get something to eat when this guy shows up with a freaking lighter and gasoline. Thanks to my earlier meal I could outrun him easily but the look on his face was off. It was like he wasn't expecting me. A vampire… yes but not me. There is another one in time? This could get interesting.

But it wasn't my lucky day. The guy with the gasoline had his mind set on killing at least one vampire tonight and apparently any vampire would do. He throws the can at my head, is he stupid? His throwing did the trick though… The gasoline soaked my leather jacket. Did he even realise how much this was worth? The lighter flew at me like it was is slow motion. My coat immediately caught fire. Like I said my lucky day…

The guy started dancing. Is he for real? He helped the girl up and left the alley. I tried to open the jacket but the zipper was terribly hot. So that was not an option. The burn reached my skin. This was so not good. I should have stayed with Stefan and bothered him some more. Why did I always have to be stubborn? Ow, wait that's who I am…

The fire get's the best of me, I sink down on my knees. Me, Damon Salvatore, on my knees… Suddenly I'm surrounded by water. I turn and see a little girl, maybe 5 years old, who had pushed down a barrel with rainwater. I roll myself in the water. I sizzle like a freaking sausage you make for breakfast. My jacket… My favourite piece of clothing, gone…

I turn around at my small saviour. She's standing there in the shadows looking at me with caution. I stand up and walk toward her. She's tiny and alone at this hour? I take a look at my watch. 11 p.m. Shouldn't anyone be looking for her? I bend through my knees and look her in the eyes. All I can see is trust, sleepiness and… Is that fear? Well thank God, she has some sense of self-preservation. But when I follow her eyes I notice she's not looking at me but behind me.

There he was, the other vampire, probably the one mister Gasoline was after.

"Might wanna go out of the way. You're interrupting my meal you see…"

Is he talking about the girl? Ow this is sick. Drinking from humans, I'm in. But kids? Hell no.

I pull her behind me. The guy raises an eyebrow, shrugs and starts to attack me. Girl you better be worth it…

I know it's a bit short, but it's a start...

Other posts will be longer, I promise...
