Hungry Eyes
16-Year-Old, Chloe Jones is cousins with Elena Gilbert, when she moves to Mystic Falls, Virginia with her family she doesn't know all the secrets that lurks in the small town yet she soon finds out after she meets Damon Salvatore.
I stared out the window of the car, watching as my father pulled into the town Mystic Falls located in Virginia. I'm Chloe Jones and i'm at the age of 16, my family has decided to move here to the town because my dad got a job offer and he's been searching for one to support the family which only includes me, my mom, and my 2 year old brother Joey. My father pulled into the driveway of our new home which looked so much better then our one from before. It was a two story house with four bedrooms in it, a bathroom, a nice sized kitchen, a living room, and an attic...or well that's what my parents told me. Outside of the house on the porch stood my cousin Elena with some guy, I got out of the car and got into a hug with Elena who I have not seen since I was 10. "Chloe it's so great to see your here." Elena said as we got out of the hug.
"Yeah," I looked over to the guy who stood right next to her, he was pretty tall, I stood up to his neck, he had wavy jet black hair and gorgeous forest green eyes and he was pretty cute, "So who's this?" Elena looked to the guy and smiled then turned to me.
"Well this is my boyfriend Stefan, I thought I would bring him with me so he'd be the first one you met when you came." Elena said with a smile, I smiled back and pulled my bang behind my ear, Stefan held out his hand and I shook it.
"Nice to meet you." He said with a smile, I smiled back at him and then we let go of each others hands. I then turned to Elena.
"So school starts for me tomorrow, anything I should be warned about?" I asked with a laugh, "I don't wanna like someone and then he's dating someone." Elena laughed at my words.
"Well, once were there i'll show you who's dating who and stuff and who to keep away from. Say you wanna go hang out around town?" Elena asked me, I shrugged, I had to get my stuff unpacked but, oh well.
"Alright," I turned to my mom who was walking past me with Joey, "Hey mom can I go with Elena out to town so she can show me around?"
"Sure, that would be great." My mom said with a smile, "Just be home by 10." I nodded and then I walked away with Elena and Stefan. After walking around town for quite a while I met Elena's friends Bonnie and Caroline who seemed nice. We were walking around the streets while Elena was telling me what stores are what for and all that stuff when a guy showed up, who was by far very hot, he almost looked like Stefan but, not that much a like, he was hotter.
"Damon get out of here." Elena said in disgust at him, I guessed those two didn't get along, she turned to me, "Chloe this is Stefan's jackass brother Damon."
"Oh I feel so loved." Damon said sarcastically, Damon then looked at me smirking, "So I see we got new meat in this town."
"Damon I swear to god." Stefan started before getting caught off by Damon.
"You swear what Stefan?" Damon then turned back to me, "So Chloe, your new here?"
"Yeah," I blushed and I watched as he smirked so he had to notice the blush, "My dad got a job here and well yeah..." Damon chuckled, which sounded cute. I don't know why Elena didn't like him, he seemed nice.
"Well I guess i'll be going, see you around sometime Chloe." Damon winked at me and then walked off, I watched as he left.
"Chloe you don't wanna get with him, I know your thinking of that. He's a total asshole and he'll hurt you in the end." Elena spoke after watching Damon leave, Stefan nodded in agreement but, there was just something about Damon that I just had to know about. I got home around 7 so I would be able to take a shower and everything but, after Elena and Stefan left I had this odd feeling that someone was watching me and it was creeping me out. I ran into my house but, accidentaly stepped on one of my brothers toy cars, good thing I had my shoes on still, I ran up to my bedroom and then just landed onto my bed, it seemed my parents had already set up everything in my room, though nothing was hooked up except for the television. When I turned it on the channel was on the news and it had that someone was killed by some animal, I just turned it off and to MTV. I searched for my Ipod which I soon found in my bag and then laid back on my bed listening to my music, I couldn't get Damon off of my mind though, his face just stuck into my thoughts like he was now poisoned into me. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep. "Damon!" I thought he was bleeding in his mouth or something but, then he got a big smile and went towards my neck, I heard Elena call my name before closing my eyes...
"Chloe, watch it!" Elena called me as we were on some dark road after wrecking the car, I turned around to find Damon behind me but, blood from his mouth.
"Ready for your first day at Mystic Falls High School?" Elena asked, I nodded, a little scared though but, right now I knew a good amount of people who could help me throughout the day. I nodded and then walked out of the house with Elena and Stefan and got into Stefan's car, "Oh and just wait till you see Jeremy he's grown a lot since the last time you seen him."
"I'm so glad to be back, I missed this place so much." I smiled, I actually lived here in Mystic Falls when I was younger, I moved when I was 7 and then I would come here to see Elena and her parents some times but, then my dad started to get to busy with working and supporting the family so we visited less.
"So you use to live here?" Stefan asked, "I thought it was your first time being here."
"No, I lived here until I was 7."
"I just had to show her around yesterday so she remembered everywhere." Elena explained to Stefan who nodded his head and then went back to looking at the road, "Chloe use to come up here and spend time with her aunt but, she died a little while back and so Chloe stopped coming."
"Oh sorry to hear about your aunt." Stefan said, I hadn't talked about my aunt in a long time, her and I were so close, and she always knew how to have a good time. She died when I was 10, because she supposedly gotten mauled by an animal here in Mystic Falls.
"It's ok, I'm fine now." I said, smiling at Stefan. When we got to school, I got out and was so happy that I didn't have to start off with no friends and such because I had Elena.
"Chloe Jones? Is that really you?" I turned around to see a guy walk up to me, he was of good height, blond hair and a face that looked so damn familiar.
"Oh hey Matt." Elena said as he walked up to us.
"Matt...wait Matt Donovan?" I was surprised, I remember he use to hang out with me and Elena when I would visit.
"That's me." Matt smiled and we went into a hug, "It's been a while, I knew you looked familiar, and Caroline told me you were back."
"It's great to see you again." I was glad to see Matt, he was always fun to hang around with when we were young.
"Hey guys!" I looked to see Caroline run up to us, when she caught up to Matt he kissed her on the cheek, she turned to me, "Chloe, nice to see you here."
"Same." The bell then rang and we all huddled to our classes, it was so hard to find my class considering the fact that both Elena and Stefan's were on the other side of the school. I was looking around until I bumped into a guy, "Oh I'm so sorry!" I called as we both caught our balance back.
"Haha it's ok, I'm Jeremy Gilbert." My mouth dropped, "What?"
"Jeremy? It's me Chloe Jones!"
"Chloe?" Jeremy smiled, "It's been a long time."
"6 years." I said with a smile, "Hey can you help me find my class? Elena couldn't help because her and Stefan's was on the other side of the school."
"I don't mind." I handed Jeremy my schedule and he took a look at my first class, "Hey you are in luck, we have the same class."
"Really, thank god! I didn't want to be such a loner." I said, laughing as we walked to our first class, "It's a good thing it's only the middle of the first semester, it'll be easier for me to get caught up with stuff."
"Haha yeah. Well, you have Elena, Stefan, and I to help out." Jeremy said with a smile, we walked into the class and took seats next to each other. Jeremy was able to take me to my second class even though we didn't have it together. The rest of the day was pretty smooth you could say. I had two classes with Bonnie, Chemistry with Stefan and he was a big help, and History with Elena, Caroline, and Matt. I was glad on how great my day actually went. When I walked out of the school with Elena, we met up with Stefan at his car, but I wasn't really in for going home so I decided to let them go a head.
"Are you sure Chloe?" Elena asked me as she buckled herself in.
"Yeah...actually I'm in the mood for finding my aunts grave, it's been so long." Elena smiled knowing how it hurt.
"Alright but, you sure you can find your way back?"
"I can try but, if I can't I'll call you." I said my goodbyes to Elena and Stefan and then walked to the Cemetery to look for my aunt's grave. I actually had no clue where she was buried but, I knew it was somewhere in this Cemetery. I looked at all the graves, I actually found Elena's parents and I felt sad when I remembered them. Then I finally found my aunt, I put my hand on the grave, a tear escaped my eye. Then I heard a twig break and I turned around quickly in fright, "Who's there?" I whispered, suddenly fog started coming out of no where, "Show yourself!" I yelled before running off, I didn't even know where I was running off to until I ran into Damon, he helped me balance myself back.
"Damon!" I held on to him, scared shitless of what had just happened.
"Woah, what's gotten into you?" Damon asked and seemed a little shocked at my actions.
"Someone was back there, watching me." I turned to look back, a few tears escaping my eyes because of how scared I was.
"Hey, hey I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you." I smiled and then looked up at him and he smiled at me, "I promise."
"Thanks..." I looked around my surroundings to see that I had to be somewhere in the old graveyard, I didn't realize I had run that far, "Where are we?"
"A little bit into the woods, this is where some of the much older graves are." Damon answered, what creeped me out was why was he out here? So I decided to ask...
"Why are you out here then?" I waited for a couple seconds for him to answer.
"Just strolling around, I like to take walks in the graveyards...weird I know. Hey did you ever have family members here in Mystic Falls?" Damon asked, "You look familiar to someone."
"Oh my aunt, she use to live here before she was killed by some animal...everyone always said me and her looked a lot a like." I answered, "Actually I was just visiting her grave before I got freaked out."
"Oh well I'm sorry to hear about that." Damon seemed like he actually did feel sorry. This got me though and it made me wonder on why everyone was telling me to keep away from him. He seemed like a really nice guy.
"Well I better get home..." I turned around, starting to walk away and then stopped, "That's if I knew how to get back." I reached into my pocket for my cell phone, but it wasn't in there, I realized that it must have fell out early this morning in Stefan's car because I usually got texts through school and I never felt it vibrate, "Well that's just great! My cell phone is lost and I have no clue how to get back home. I'm such an idiot." I heard Damon chuckle behind me, I turned around, "Shut up."
"Sorry, here just tell me where you live and then i'll help you home. I know every place here." I smiled at Damon and I thought I could trust him, so I told him the street and he helped me back to the town and then the right way to my house.
