Warning this chapter contains talks about death, if you want to skip it please do, it's not really important to the story, when you see a line of stars, it's over.
"We don't want to push you" Stefan raised his voice a little to speak over his wife.
Amused, Jackson looked at me, I didn't know why he was looking at me.
"I have decided" Jackson announced "but I'm scared" he nearly whispered
"Ohhh" Jessica was near him in a flash, hugging him, he hugged back, it hit me like a ton of bricks, Jackson had a decision to make, to stay human or become a vampire, this was the big decision, they had given him a choice, and it seemed Jackson had decided.
After what seemed like an eternity Jackson announced that his decision was to become a vampire, but he was scared of dying, he was worried about not waking up we tried to assure him that he would wake, like the millions before him, but he wasn't convinced, we told our own stories as to how we woke but it still wasn't enough.
We tried for hours in the end he told us to give him blood then just kill him, I laughed at that of course we were going to kill him, that sounded so bad, but at the time it sounded right.
"I don't think I will like the taste of blood" he scrunched up his nose
"Well, lucky for you, I have a spell for that" I announced before getting up and going into the kitchen, Damon knew what I was doing, I got a glass and a knife, then went back into the room, "now, who's blood will you be drinking" I asked the kid, looking from Stefan, to Jessica, to uncle Damon
"I had decided on uncle Damon" Jackson explained that he thought if he chose either one of his parents, the other would get upset, he believed that this way neither would get upset, I took the glass and knife to Damon, he took the glass but pushed the knife away, giving me a look that said 'please, I got this' I rolled my eyes at his sexiness, he bit his hand near his little finger, I heard Jackson gasp, but I was facing Damon and I saw Damon wink at the kid, again I rolled my eyes, once Damon was done I took the glass to show Jackson, he scrunched up his nose not liking the sight,
"I was the only vampire in existence, for a long time, and I learned this spell so I wouldn't get caught drinking blood" I explained as I waved my hand above the glass and the blood turned to water
"Woah" was all Jackson said, I smirked proudly as he took the glass from me, he swirled the glass, it didn't change, he smelt it "it smells like strawberries" he told no one in particular, but I still nodded, he drank the glass of blood in one go and then rubbed his hands together as if he was ready for a marathon "ok now what?" He asked
"Now you die" Damon announced I glared at him, he just had to say that "what?" He shrugged, having no better way to actually say anything I just shook my head at him
"Ok, ok, how? How do I die? Wait, I want a painless death" Jackson announced
"Death isn't painless, unless you're old and you die in your sleep" Damon said and again I glared at him,
"Mom, can you come upstairs with me?" not waiting for an answer Jackson made his way upstairs, Jessica followed, I tried to hear them but they didn't speak much.
Fifteen minutes later Jessica came downstairs, without Jackson, she looked happy and sad at the same time, she had done it.
"How?" I asked
"Pillow" she answered I nodded. We waited now, "You can go home, if you like, we can handle the rest" Jessica told me, I shook my head and told her I'd like to stay.
************************************
It was an hour later when I heard him wake up
"He's up" I told the others, slowly we started to make our way up, but Stefan stopped us
"I think I should go alone" the rest of us nodded and stayed downstairs, Stefan went up, I leaned against the wall at the foot of the stairs, Jessica was in the kitchen, doing whatever she was doing, and Damon was sat on the leather chair a few feet away from me he was sitting with one leg on the other and his elbow on the arm of the chair his hand held his head, he was looking at me, my eyes were closed, but I could still feel his eyes on me, I heard shuffling, I still didn't open my eyes, I felt Damon snake his hand around me and I felt him hold me up away from the wall, I kept my eyes closed, I felt a gush of wind, and then it stopped, I opened my eyes now, looking around I saw we were in the woods, Greenville was called Greenville because of its greenery, he let go and I saw that he had his back to me,
"There's something different about you, since you woke up" he told me
"Yes" I couldn't say more, my throat suddenly felt dry, I was hungry, starving, that was strange, usually I could go weeks without the need for feeding, it had been less than a day.
"What has changed? Please Clarissa, tell me, tell me...." he brushed a hand through his hair, not knowing what to say
"I became mother witch" I told him, I knew that was not what he meant when he scoffed "my powers have changed, my emotions are even more heightened than they were before, my feelings, oh fates, my feelings have magnified, there is no other way to explain it, Damon, where I could control myself, I can't anymore, I want to feel, I want to love, I want to fall, I want...." I couldn't finish as Damon moved to me in a flash and kissed me with so much passion I thought I might faint, I was so hungry, and my fangs elongated, and I bit him, he hissed but did not pull away so I sucked, I drank, I stopped after about ten seconds, I offered my hand to him for him to drink my blood, he smiled his sexy smile and drank from me, I stroked his hair as he drank, he moved away and I stared into his eyes, those deep blue eyes that one could drown in, "I can read your mind, I can read anyone's mind, I read yours, I saw how you felt about me, I saw you felt the same way about me as I do about you, but Damon I want you to know, I didn't do this because of what I saw, I did this because I want you, I need you Damon, more than you'll ever know" I held his hand and bought it to my cheek his rough cool hand felt amazing against my hot skin, with his other hand he held my other cheek and then enveloped me in a hug
"I love you" he spoke, the world stood still, time literally froze, well not really, but you know, my head lay on his chest
"I love you too" I told him and the world moved again his breathing hitched as did mine
"Your heart is beating really fast" he chuckled at me, I laughed, I moved my head away from his chest to look into his eyes, my hand held him where his heart would be, I closed my eyes and pretended I could hear his heartbeat I heard mine, and pretended it was his.
I returned home later that evening, Jackson was doing well, better than his dad had the first time he was turned, he found his urges easy to control, and I wasn't needed, I was only there because Stefan and Jessica loved me like a sister, they always had, apparently Jessica and I were always close, and I could see it, I could see us being the best of friends.
