I woke up with pain in my arm and not in my bed. I looked at my wrist and saw a bandage around it. I sat up looking around, I was definitely still in the Salvatore building because of all the old fashioned decorations, I still had my cloths on which was good, now I need to get out of here.

"Calm down Thompson or should I say Gilbert or maybe you don't even know." said a voice. I looked over and saw Damon sitting in a chair looking through my diary.

"Give it back." I say getting out of the bed.

"Sure just tell me one thing." he paused and I nodded. "Why haven't you told Elena or Jeremy?" he asked.

"I plan to, it's not the time." I said. Damon nodded closing my book and handing it to me, I hesitate to grab it but I do. That was easy enough to get back. "What did you do to me?" I change the subject once I look at my wrist.

"I bit you." he said. I laughed and sat back down on his bed. Damon looked at me in confusion, "Why are you laughing?"

"This is a joke. You're pretending to be a vampire. Are you one of those people who think they are characters from movies aren't you?" I ask with a laugh.

"I'm not joking, Soph." he said. I stopped laughing and saw the seriousness in his face, "Stefan and I are vampires." he said. I hesitated before standing up to leave.

"Okay well thanks, but I have to go." I said making my way over to the door. Damon stood in front of me.

"Stop and stay." he said. His pupils dilated as I stared at him, all of a sudden I was doing as he told me.

"What did you just do?" I ask.

"It's called compelling​." he said. I stood there not really knowing what to say, I don't want to get him mad. "What happened?" I finally ask.

"You passed out and I needed blood so I took some on yours. It was most sweetest thing I have ever tasted." he said. I looked down at my wrist, "I will have to take some more tonight."

"Why wait, you look awful take some more of mine." I offer.

"As much as I want to, if I do I might kill you." he said.

"Then why can't you go now?" I ask.

"Stefan took my daylight ring so I have to wait until the sun goes down." he said.

"What are those?" I ask.

"A ring so we can go into the sunlight without burning. Witches spell them, mine was spelled by Emily Bennet, Bonnie's ancestor."

"Woah, stop. Bonnie's ancestor? How old are you?" I asked cutting him off.

"I have been twenty-four since 1884." he said.

"Is there anything else I need to know?" I ask. Damon looked at me.

"You will learn as you get to know Stefan and I more." he said.

"So then can I go home?" I ask.

"Yeah you can leave." he said. I felt relief off my body, "Before you go, don't tell Stefan or anyone I told you this." he said. I think he compelled me again, but I nod and walked out of the room, down the stairs and out of the house.

I quickly made my way back to my house to think about everything that just happened. I get to the house and quietly make my way to my room just incase Elena and Jenna were home. I opened my bedroom door and started to get ready for bed. I sat on my bed and opened my diary and started to write.

'Dear Diary,

The past few days have been weird, depressing and crazy. Tyler told Brian about our hot summer. I just found out that Damon and Stefan are vampires and Damon knows my secret about Elena and I being related. I just hope he keeps my secret and I will keep his.

S'

I put my diary under my pillow and turned off the light, I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.
