The Vampire Diaries, Stray

Ch. 4 "Damon"

                                           Cali POV 

I stirred from sleep by a smell, I sit up in bed rubbing my eyes of sleep, and see Elijah is no longer in bed with me, 

I point my head to the sky and smell, it smells good, 

I jumped out of bed and made a B line to the smell, only to be picked up from behind, 

"Cali it is very dangerous to be running," He said 

"Sorry..." I said a little guilty 

He chuckled 

"It is quite alright," He said setting me in a chair at a table, 

He set a cup of orange juice at the table, 

He set a plate of waffles down in front of me, 

"Please eat, we have a busy day, we are going to meet with a few people today," Elijah said 

"Who?" I asked tilting my head, 

"Acquaintances of mine," He said 

I nodded 

I went to pick up the waffle with my hands, 

"No, No, Cali you use utensils" He said picking up the fork, 

He cut it up and gave me the fork, 

I used the fork to eat, 

"Much better," He said smiling at me, 

"Who are the Acquaintances? are they like you?" I asked 

"Not as powerful but yes they are like me," He said smiling at me, 

After I finished the food and juice, Elijah helped me get changed into something other than the clothes he found me in because of how tore up they were, 

We walked out of the apartment, Elijah insisted on me holding his hand since and I quote 

'You are a fairly small child and you could get lost'

We arrive to a huge house, 

Elijah knocks, 

I hear walking on floor boards, 

How can I hear that far away? I thought as I tilted my head, 

Then the door opened, 

A man with dark black hair and piercing blue eyes answered the door, 

"Elijah," He said 

"Damon," Elijah said 

Damon looked down at me, I was clutching my teddy with the crook of my arm that was free, and squeezing Elijah's hand with the other, 

"And who might this cute little thing be?" Damon said kneeling down at my level, 

"This is Cali, I found her, she is suffering from memory loss," Elijah explained, 

"You sure she wasn't compelled?" Damon said looking at me, 

"Certainly not considering the condition I found her in," Elijah said 

"Please come in so we can talk," Damon said 

Elijah nodded and we walked inside, the place was huge I thought 

The place had a certain smell to it, why were all these unexplained things happening, should I be smelling or hearing that far away? 

Is that normal? I thought as we walked into the living room, 

One thing I did know is that I needed to figure out who I was before I woke up injured, I thought
