Summary: Damon Salvatore has been wandering the world alone for two years. He gave up on Elena and has become a prowler of the night. Attacking random people and feeding to quench his thirst. But one night he runs into HER and his whole life is turned upside down. Yet she isn't what she seems to be…

Author's Notes: I came up with this idea during my German class and I'm running with it. I don't know where this is going, so bear with me and let me know what you think. Reviews are always appreciated.

*Just a side note this is based on the TV series. I haven't read the book series, yet…

Prologue

What Are You?

The blackness of the night surrounded the both of us, but the cover the night provided us was disappearing. Dawn was breaking and his eyes flashed in understanding.

He looked over me, searching for something that would protect me from the sun's deadly rays, but he found nothing, just like he was supposed to. His eyes glazed over with curiosity and fear. His mouth opened, but no words came out.

I smiled a little to myself, an action not missed by his perceptive gaze. I knew he had figured it out by now. Why he was struggling with putting it into words…

"What are you?" His voice snapped out into the night like a gunshot. Beneath his angry tone was fear.

I smiled at him, sadly, "What do you think I am?"

Just as the words left my lips the sun rose on the horizon, showing my true persona.
