prodigalsavior | Broken hearts find your way / Make it through just this day (For Rebekah)

[ooc: After this.]

Well, that needed to not happen again, Damon thought to himself as he moved through the city, blending with the crowd and shadows. The bright lights were all around, but that just kept even more people's attention off of him. There were too many other things to look at.

He'd forgotten how easy it was to hunt in the city, and he had to wonder why the hell he'd ever left. It wasn't for anything...god. It seemed so long ago. Thinking he'd be the one to free Katherine. That she'd love him forever, that they'd hunt the night and lord it over everyone else, just the two of them.

That he wouldn't be alone, haunted only by the girl who'd been taken and the brother who'd damned him.

Fuck, but what was that saying? The more things changed...

A girl bumped into him, and apologized before thinking she could slip past him. Damon's hand slipped out and grabbed her arm, hard and fast. Before she could bother protesting, he had caught her gaze, compelled her to silence. Then slinging an arm around her, he guided her down the street, looking for a quiet place for a snack.

Maybe that would take his mind off the level of fucking horror these last few months. Or keep him from taking out his phone and sending a text for another night of...not aloneness.

Amusingly enough, Rebekah wasn't that far from where he was now and she was trying to distract herself so she didn't call him and tell him to meet her somewhere again.

Getting involved with Damon Salvatore on any level was a foolish thing to do.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me....

That was a thought that she needed to remember and she was determined to hold onto it as she continued along down the street, her hands tucked into the pockets of her jacket as she considered what to do for the night. The city was big and there were plenty of people in it, plenty of interesting little playthings that she could find to keep herself amused for a little while. She could find someone tall, dark and handsome....no!

No. It was better if she chose someone else, perhaps someone blonde and more muscular. Maybe someone like Matt even though she didn't like to think about the quarterback either. Really, it was just better to forget all about all the Mystic Falls boys and just be done with them.

Then why was she still tempted to call Him? Of all people?
