Chapter 1: Broken Pact

A hundred and forty five years has passed since I've been in Mystic Falls or since I last laid eyes on the Stefan Salvatore or my beloved Damon, but I chose for them to forget and I can't dwell on my decisions any longer.

I mustn't get side tracked; I'm here for one reason and one reason only, to stop Katherine.

She broke our pact, well at least part of it. I can't let her take everything from me again and I can't let her hurt innocent people. . . I can't let her hurt Damon.

I mutter to myself, "A hundred and forty-five years and I still can't forget him".

I walked pass Mystic Grill, I sensed something immediately and I stopped and gazed at the door, should I risk it, I'm not sure my heart can take seeing him, I went against my better judgment and entered. There I saw him, "Damon", the words tasted sweet as I barely whispered it. Quickly my memories fluttered in.

(flashback)

Sitting in the thick Mystic Falls forest I scolded myself. . . "Why must you do this Trudence, its forbidden to come down and watch them this closely". I know what my duty was . . . to protect them . . . to guard them, but I couldn't resist I had to come down, so I can see him up close. I was his guardian, his angel. At this moment I was willing to risk everything just to meet him once. I nodded abruptly, " I can't do this, I'll be punished and then I'll lose him forever, I'll be reassigned", I sighed. I know I should leave.

As my thoughts faded I heard light bang and rustling, I turned abruptly and saw a football. As I bend to pick it up a thought floated across my mind. "ohh no", I whispered.

There he was standing right in front of me, quite disheveled. His hair was wild and curly from playing with his brother moments earlier. His eyes piercing into me with such power and mystery, his cheeks slightly pink from running after the lost football.

"Would you be so kind to pass me my football", he said. I froze not knowing what to say. How could he have so much power over me? I was an Angel for gods (my fathers) sake, But I just stood there tongue tied, just taking him in, standing in front of me. I managed to soften my grip on the football and gently hand it over to him. He smiled at me with his glorious smile.

"How rude of me, I beg your forgiveness for my rude introduction, my name is Damon. . . Damon Salvatore", he said sinceraly as he slowly build up a smile.

Say something I thought as I scowled myself . . . I managed to take a deep breathe.

"Ms. Trudence Brookes", I managed to mutter. (Great!. . . that was a great introduction for yourself Tru ), I thought to myself. Quick make something up, I thought.

"I'm sorry for the intrusion I seem to have lost myself in these thick woods, I didn't mean to come across your property", I stated, knowing that I was completly lying.

"No apologizes needed Ms. Brookes, these woods can be somewhat dangerous, it must be a blessing that I came across you", he stated playfully, scanning me.

I blushed, you have no idea I thought to myself.

"Please come, you must be famished. . . It is almost dark, how long have you been wandering this forest?" he asked so eager for information.

"Since morning, I'm new to Mystic Falls, and I presume I just lost my way", I barely managed to get out.

He looped his arm around mine and we went off towards the manor. His simple touch almost made my knees go weak. I made a promise to myself that he will never know how much I have fallen for him.

I snapped back to reality. Man up Tru I thought to myself. God you've been wandering the world for almost two decades. Forever in punishment for my actions, walking the earth as an immortal, but with a mortal's heart. That has been pain enough knowing that because of Katherine I have forever lost my Damon, and this Damon isn't the man that I loved or that loved me, but the pain and love is still there no matter how much I try to ignore it.

I loved him. I still love him, but he must not find out or my treaty with Katharine will be broken. I had to beg her I thought to myself.

He would have never become this if it wasn't for me. She wasn't going to turn him. It's all my fault.

(flashback)

I held the skirt of my dress up slightly so it wouldn't drag on the grass as I ran across the grass at the Salvatore's Manor. I managed to hide behind a bush trying to contain a giggle. I can hear him running on the grass.

"Ohh Ms. Brookes, where could you be", he said not hiding his smile.

I couldn't contain the giggle I was holding back, and he turned around and looked me straight in the eyes. Those eyes of him, always made me feel as if he could see into my soul and I loved that about him. I jumped out from behind the bush.

"Fine you have found me, Mr. Salvatore", I managed to say, while giggling. "Then what shall be my prize, Ms. Brookes, you are quite of a hider aren't you" he said. He moved closer to me and held my hand.

"Well Mr. Salvatore the choice is yours", I playfully said.

"I chose your everlasting love", he whispered. He cupped my face with his hand and held my hand with his other.

We gazed into each other for what felt like an eternity, he slowly brought his face closer to mine and gently brushed his lips against mine. The sweetest touch I have ever felt. Our lips not even an inch apart. I stared at his lips then to his eyes, I heard his breathing change as did mine. This moment so sweet, so sacred to me felt as if it lasted a millennium. A smile arose from his face, and we kissed. Gently just like a first kiss should be like, it was my first and it was with the man I loved, the man I was risking everything I believed in.

" You certainly have bewitched me, Tru", he whispered.

I couldn't hide my smile. "And you have forever stolen my heart, Damon", I whispered.

(present)

I walked in as quietly as I could, Not wanting to acquire any unwanted attention. I saw him glance at me. I felt as I almost fainted. He went back to drinking with who I presumed was Alaric Saltzman. Just because I promised Katherine I would never return to Mystic Falls didn't mean I couldn't keep track on everyone and anything that was a part of Mystic Falls. I mean I was still an angel I still had my ways of acquiring information. I sat at one of the booths across the room, not wanting to be too close to Damon.

As soon as I sat down, I young man with blonde hair and blue eyes approached me.

"Hello, I'm Mat. Can I take your order?" he said.

"Yes, um. . . I'll have a sweet tea", I muttered.

"kay, I'll be right back", he said. He went on his way and came back with my drink. I fiddled with my straw for a minute trying to concentrate on Alaric and Damon's conversation across the room.

"She's back" Damon said.

"What do you mean 'she's back'?" Alaric asked.

"Katherine, she's back. She went to visit Elena yesterday", Damon said.

"What do you think she wants?" Asked Alaric.

"You know Katherine, just came to screw around with our lives", he said.

"Keep me in the loop, I have to go see Jenna" Alaric said.

Alaric got up and headed for the door. I need to figure out whom to trust, I thought.

"Elena", I whispered. She'll be able to keep my secret. I will never be able to gain everyone else's trust If I don't gain Elena's. I can only risk telling one person about myself, and it will have to be her. I headed for the door, completely forgetting about Damon, when I suddenly banged against something or someone. I looked down, as a sudden thought crossed my mind. No it can't be. I slowly raise my face and there he is with his eyes peering at me. "Damon", I barely breathe out.

(Damon POV)

I wonder if Stephan has news on Katherine, I start walking towards the door and I bump into some girl. I look at her; she stares at me as I do too. There's something familiar about her. I notice her immediately, she is beautiful. Her heart shape face, complimented by her full lips and hazel eyes. Her dark chestnut hair is perfectly softly curled and the length reaches almost towards her elbows. Did she just say my name?

"Do I know you?" I asked.

"No, I don't, I'm new in town", she replied.

I definitely know her from somewhere, but I can't put my finger on it.

"Damon Salvatore", I introduced myself

Why the formality I ask myself, there's just something about her. I'm puzzled.

"Tru Brookes, I'm sorry but I have to go", she muttered.

She hurried herself out.

(True POV)

I hurried out to my motorcycle. I needed to stop and think, I couldn't let seeing him make me lose my thoughts. I need to concentrate towards where Elena is. I closed my eyes and let my instincts direct me to where Elena was. I saw her at her house, with Stefan. I got on my bike and headed towards the Gilbert home.

I reached the Gilbert home I parked my bike across the street. Stefan is there, I can't talk to her until he leaves or he will be suspicious. I wait outside for what seemed like an eternity. That's when I see Stephan head out and go towards his red sports car, I watch him get in and drive away. If only I could go and tell him, but I can't that would put him in danger. I feel a tear move down my cheek. I quickly wipe it away. I can't start thinking about the past, but Stefan was always my best friend.

(flashback)

"Stefan can I speak to you", I mummer.

"Of course, Tru please enter, you know you always have my attention", he said.

I didn't know how to say this, at this moment I felt as if my heart was going to burst in a million pieces. I know he knew what I was going to ask him, I could see his smile building. I knew what I felt for Damon, but I wasn't sure what he felt for me. I knew there was only one person I could ever confess my emotions to and it was Stefan. Infact, he was the only person I had ever told about who I really was and he kept that secret to himself. I considered him my best friend.

"You know how I feel about Damon, and what I've risked so far, but did I make the right decision", I asked him.

A tear swept across my face.

"You know you don't have to ask that question, Damon loves you, like he has never loved anyone else. You are good for him and you will always be, you know that right?" Stefan reassured.

"I want to think so, but I'm scared they are going to find out. I truly love him and I wouldn't be able to forget him", I cried softly out.

"Are they close to finding out", he asked.

"I can't deny the fact that there suspicious, this is a forbidden topic. No angel has ever fallen in love with one of their innocents", I whisper.

"Fight for him", he states.

" I am, I can't go on without him, I will always protect him. No matter what, but I can't from here, I have to go back for a while. They haven't notice me coming down here, and I need to go and reassure them that I've always been up there", I said.

"What are you going to tell Damon?" he asked. "I don't know, but I know it can't be the truth, thanks Stefan for always been there", I mutterd.

(Present)

Stefan's gone. Good. I walk towards the door and ring the bell. Jenna answers.

"Hello, may I help you?" she asked.

"Hello, I'm actually looking for Elena", I said.

"Oh, okay I'll go get her, may I ask whose looking for her?" she asked.

"Just a friend", I muttered.

She went up the stairs only took a moment and I saw Elena coming down the stairs. She was in her pj's. Now once I realized exactly in what situation I put myself in, I started to think of what exactly I was going to say. Great Tru look at the mess you put yourself into, I thought.

"Hello, do I know you", she asked.

"Well, truth be told , I know more of you ", I said.

She stood there in the doorway. Probably wondering if I was a Vampire sent from Katherine, which truthfully does sound like something she would do. She always had someone to do her dirty work. She was about to close to door. She probably came to the conclusion that Katherine had sent me.

"NO WAIT!" I cried out.

"Katherine didn't send me, I'm here to help you stop her", I declared.
