[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.

There was a predator's glint there despite the fact she had already fed but that was probably because she still had the urge to hurt someone. It was a little unsettling, leaving her restless and on edge, and so she took another longer drink of the whiskey since she welcomed the burn.

Date: 2012-09-13 03:21 am (UTC)It suddenly made her wary as she leaned back suddenly to look at him, her eyes dark. "Are you playing with me again?"
no subject
Date: 2012-09-13 03:26 am (UTC)Ric might still be alive. Sage might still be alive. Elena--but he couldn't go there. Rebekah wouldn't have lost two brothers, and while he couldn't really be sorry to see Klaus go after all he'd done....He couldn't forget her screams, either, and how even when Stefan had been ripping people to pieces....him dying would have killed something in Damon, too.
So, yeah. Playing with her did really well for all of them.
He shook his head a little, and there was nothing but a momentary sadness in his eyes. "No. I don't know...what we're doing, but no. I'm not playing with you." A shadow of his general devil-may-care flashed, though it was a little forced. "Unless you've got some super-fun games in mind. Then I'll play."
no subject
Date: 2012-09-13 05:10 am (UTC)But then he had saved her from Ric. She had wondered if maybe it was to make up for hurting her but...if it wasn't, then why had he done it?
Her eyes flickered down to hide her doubt as she looked at his chest, frowning just a bit before she looked up at him. She offered a wry smile then. "I can usually come up with an idea or two." One corner of her mouth perked up a bit more. "And I seem to recall you're pretty creative too."
no subject
Date: 2012-09-13 03:40 pm (UTC)"An excellent point. Together we should be able to come up with something..." And if they termed it in playing games--however fun--maybe they could avoid looking at anything deeper. That would be great, really.
His deep hadn't really been working well for him lately.

Date: 2012-09-15 12:53 am (UTC)She offered a crooked smile as she nodded in agreement. "Hasn't been a problem before."

Date: 2012-09-15 01:57 am (UTC)"It really hasn't," he said again. "I think we'll manage."
no subject
Date: 2012-09-15 02:47 am (UTC)Finally she pulled away, looking at him. "Let's go to your place."
