THE SOUND OF BELLE KNOCKING REVERBERATED through the large boarding house. The door opened to reveal a certain blue eyes Salvatore. Belle cleared her throat nervously playing with strings of her jumper. She pushed her glasses up before facing the elder man "I-Is Stefan here?"

Damon stared at her, his eyes flickering to the copy of Sherlock Holmes, The Valley of Fear that laid nestled in between her elbows. A small smirk overtaking his face as he leaned in, his heart stopping at the sharp intake of her breath as her chocolate brown eyes melted in his diamond pools.

"How do you feel about playing detective."

Belle glanced at the book she was holding before looking back at the vampire a large grinch like grin on her face "Let's play, my dear Watson"

BELLE STOOD IN FRONT OF AN ABANDONED warehouse, in her hand lay the compass that Damon had provided her. A small pout placed on her lips as she faced the vampire next to her "y'know right now I feel like Watson"

Damon held in a chuckle as he patted the girls head "I'm sorry to make you feel that way, princess, but I needed you. I would have interfered with the signal"

Belle's nose scrunched up as she pushed the elder mans hands away, her pout increasing terribly "Well can I least come with you." Damon's face sobered immediately his earlier smile removed as his lips thinned

"No."

And with that he disappeared, a gust of wind following him and blowing Belle's hair. The garnet haired girl stomped her foot like a stubborn child

It's not fair! I want to go on life threatening missions.

A small smirk painted on her plump lips as a thought struck her. Soon enough she found herself entering the building only to release a loud shriek upon the sound gunshots.

An arm was wrapped around her neck and she stiffened upon feeling the cool silver of gun plant itself upon the side of her hair. Her eyes flitttered to the incapable vampire on the floor. His eyes narrowing as he noticed her current predicament.

"I thought I said you can't come in" he hissed, The redhead would have shrugged if it wasn't for the fact her mother's ex-boyfriend wasn't holding a lethal weapon to her head.

"Shut up" Logan yelled "You made me like this"

"I killed you. I didn't turn you" The raven haired vampire replied honestly his orbs darting to the garnet haired beauty who stared back at him, fear pooling out of her.

"You bit me, it had to be you" Logan argued crouching down in front of the blue-eyed Salvatore "You have to have vampire blood in yourself system when you die. I didn't do that"

"See, I know what you and your brother are. I've been watching you two" Belle grimaced slightly

Stalker much?

"And I knew you would show up here, and I'm glad you did, because I have some questions. And if you don't answer them-" in split second Logan grabbed the redhead and placed her in a headlock "I'll drink every ounce of blood out of her."

By now Belle's heart is beating rapidly against her rib cage as she tried to calm herself down. "He doesn't know" she whispered, her eyes meeting Damon's.

Logan clenched his teeth "Dude,it's not like the welcome wagon was waiting with a Bundt cake and a handbook. It's a learn as you go process" Logan spits "You know one minute I'm a small town on-the rise news guy and the next thing I know, I can't get into my own house, because my foot won't go through the door" Logan placed his hands on Belle's throat jerking bee around, in hopes to get a raise on Damon.

Damon's icy blue eyes never left Belle's as an attempt to convey comfort to the frightened girl. "You have to be invited in"

"I live alone" He hisses. The redhead heart begins to bleed for the man, she couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be to wake and have your whole life changed.

Damon seems to own a different viewpoint and laughs boisterously "That sucks"

"So now I'm at the Ramada watchin pay-per view all day, eating everything in sight, including the housekeeping" Logan huffs

"It could be worse" Damon states causing Belle's mouth to drop " How could it be worse!"

"All I can think about is killing people— I can't stop killing people" Logan chuckles shakily "I keep killing people." He stops inhaling deeply while his shoulders sagged "And I like it. I'm conflicted"

Damon grins lazily up at the man "Welcome to the club" Belle once more had a different approach, even though she was in a chokehold she placed a comforting hand on the newbie vampires shoulder "I'm sorry." She whispered.

The man stilled, his eyes widening as though he was only seeing her for the first time "Your Jenna's girl" The redhead nodded nervously, Logan dropped her watching as she fell ungraciously to the floor her hand reaching up to massage her throat "Thank you" he whispered, his tone sincere

A thought struck Damon while he motioned the freckled female to his side "Wait a minute. Cops only found one body"

"I left one. I was tired" Logan answers "But I've been hidin' the rest of the bodies" Damon's eyes widened as Logan turned his body to face the pile of dead bodies in the corner "They're right back there. They're just piling up"

Belle gripped Damon's cold hands in pure terror "Holy Hera"

"You're kidding" Damon mumbles, his thumb caressing her hands in attempt to calm her down while he looked in the corner dreadfully. He could just barely seen the victims "Damn it"

"HOW DO YOU WALK IN THE SUN" THE QUESTIONING had begun once more and Belle was getting quite tired of it, she found herself kneeled by Damon's side fiddling with his ring as Logan and him through questions at each other.

"Who turned you" Damon threw back. Logan chuckled

"You know, I've been really nice so far" Logan removed himself from the ground and wraps his finger around Belle's arms tugging her arms harshly. The redhead bit the inside of her cheek in an attempt not to whimper "I will kill her." Logan stated, his voice deadly serious.

Damon glowers, if looks could kill Logan would have been killed (again) "Let her go." He spoke through clenched teeth.

"Answer my questions" Logan hisses

Damon lets his infamous smirk take over his lips and Belle had to struggle not to swoon

Gah! My ovaries

"Seems we're at a bit of an impasse then, doesn't it."

"I have things to do. People to kill" Logan hummed "Guess I'll be needing a head start" The redhead yelped as Logan grabbed a fistful of her short hair. Damon lunged forward only to be shot thrice in the chest.

Belle released a small scream squirming in Logan's hold. The man accidentally hitting her harshly in the stomach, She released a loud groan as her vision became blurred before her body gave up.

Damon attempted to crawl towards them only to be stopped by his wounds. Logan glanced at him once more before disappearing from the storage room.

"LOGAN FELLS A VAMPIRE" DAMON HUFFS INTO HIS PHONE " He took Belle and when I find him again, I'm going to destroy him- - Limb by limb" Damon growled

"What do you mean he took Belle?" Stefan angrily speaks "How the hell was she even near him"

"I asked her to help me find him, she was supposed to go home once we reached the warehouse, but you know how stubborn she can be"

"Damon— You know what, I'll yell at you later. You don't have to search for him, he's at the school. He's been working the crowd up."

"I'll be there in five" Damon smirked slightly as he sped to the school already thinking of how many ways he could kill the man who took his girl

BELLE GROANED AS SHE SHE STARTED TO COME her eyes focusing on Logan who was on the phone "Liz Forbes, it's so nice to hear your voice" he taunts " So happy to see you earlier, it's great we can foster young minds"

Belle inhaled deeply before making a move for the phone "Sheriff Forbes-" Logan pulled over. "Belle?!Belle!" She could heat the woman yell worriedly through the phone.

"I didn't want to hurt you, because you're Jenna's and you were nice before but-" Logan shoves the redhead back against the door grabbing her neck and raising to where his canines where exposed, Belle closed her eyes preparing herself for her death but before Logan can do anything he is thrown off her.

Belle gasps and shifts her body away only to relax upon seeing a familiar pair of green eyes "Stefan?"

The tan vampire turned around, his hands placed on his hips as he gave the garnet haired girl a stern look "You and me, we're going to have a little chat."

BELLE SIGHED AS SHE LOOKED FOR HER HOUSE KEYS IN Stefan's bedroom after being brought here to receive a more stern scolding than even her mother could give her, Stefan had retreated back to the grill to meet Elena not before telling her that Belle's house keys were somewhere in his room from the last day when she came over to play monopoly (and then left in rage)

She finally spots them on a table and paused upon seeing an old photograph laid on it. Her eyebrows furrowed as she picked up the photo gingerly, only to gasp upon seeing a photograph of Elena— Katherine.

Is he only dating Elena because she looks like his ex?

Doubt entered her mind and she soon found herself driving one of Stefan's many cars down a long deserted road down on Wickery Bridge she was so enclosed in her thoughts she didn't notice the man standing a few feet in front of the car until it was too late.

The car rocked back and forth before coming to a halt. She looks around the inside of the car, hurt and confused- she had hit someone possibly killed them. The sound of bones cracking caused her to look up to the road her eyes widened as she watches the man's bones set back into place

Vampire!

Her breathing became short as he began to walk towards the car. She cried silently fear consuming her. There was nothing she could do. She was stuck and upside down.

The man smirks kneeling down and slamming his hand against her car which caused her to release a yelp. The man tsks before removing himself from the car accident.

Another figure enters her vision and the redhead shrieked

"Princess, it's me" Belle sighed in relief look up at the blue-eyed vampire hazily. "D-Damon" she coughs.

"I'm gonna get you out of here" he whispers to the fear filled girl in attempt to comfort her "I want you to put your hands on the roof, okay princess?" Belle nodded shakily placing her hands on the car roof "Just like that. You ready" she nods slowly

"One, two, three" He counted softly before reaching into the car and breaking the seatbelt, catching her before she lands on the roof. Belle clinged to his black shirt in fright "I got you." He assured softly placing stray hair behind her ears.

Damon slowly unwinds his hands from her waist testing to see if she was okay. The redhead knees gave in and he placed his hands in their original spot "Princess, look at me. Look at me" Belle hazily gazes at him "Belle?"

"Hi." She breaths out, a drunk smile on her lips, before passing out.
