At the Mystic Falls Park :

You wrapped your tattered blanket around you and laid down on the grass which was far more comfortable than the hard and cramped park bench.

Luke instantly came to you and snuggled to your side as you ran your hand gently through his brown fur.

You both had almost drifted to sleep when a man called you. "Hello, Miss." You sat up when you saw him approaching you.

"Hello, Sir." You politely greeted the old man.

"Here." He said and handed you a packet. "I saw you about an hour ago and I thought I will get some food for you." He said and smiled at you.

Your eyes lit up as you glanced at the packet of food. It's been ages since you ate a full meal. "Thank you, Sir. It was very kind of you." You said mimicking his smile.

"It's my pleasure, young lady." He said and walked off.

You smiled to yourself as you quickly opened the packet. You thanked God for the meal and dug into the food, giving some of it to Luke too.

You both were peacefully eating when a baseball came flying out of nowhere and hit you hard on the head.

"Ahhh..." You screamed in pain as you fell backwards at the impact.

You opened your eyes which were now blurry from the tears and saw three teenage boys walking towards you. "Why did you do that?" You said angrily but they just laughed at you.

"What are you gonna do about it? Huh. Call your mommy." The one in the middle teased you as the other two continued to laugh.

He kicked the packet, spilling the coffee on the ground. "Hey! That's my food." You yelled at them.

"And who is this little guy?" He said, completely ignoring you as he knelt in front of Luke.

"He is my friend. Now, go away." You narrowed your eyes at him.

"Aww...I wanna be friends with him too. Guys, come on, let's have some fun with the dog." He said smirking and all of them began walking towards Luke.

You looked at Luke in panic and yelled, "LUKE, RUN." He tried to run fast but he couldn't because of his broken leg and they soon caught upto him and backed him up into a tree.

"Looks like you have nowhere to go, little guy." He said as he and his friends surrounded Luke.

"Leave him alone." You said while getting up. You winced and clutched your head tightly when a sharp pain shot through your head.

You looked up and found them throwing stones at him. Luke cried in pain. "No! Stop. Please, stop." You said frantically and ran towards them.

You grabbed one of the boys by his wrist and tried to snatch the stone from him. "Give it to me and leave him alone."

He pushed you back forcefully making you fall on the ground. Luke cries got louder as they continued to throw stones at him.

"Please...stop." You said and ran towards Luke. Unable to do anything else, you grabbed Luke and shielded him from the stones.

You hugged him tight and you felt various stones hitting you, on your arms, your legs and your back. Tears rolled down freely on your cheeks but you didn't let go because you feared Luke could die if you did.

Elijah was walking past the park when he heard the whimpers and soft cries. He concentrated and heard your voice.

"Please, stop." You sobbed.

Elijah vamp speeded to the source of the sound and found some boys throwing stones at a girl. Blood was leaking from various wounds on her body but it appeared as if she was trying to protect someone else. Unable to see this any longer. Elijah walked between you and the boys.

"Gentleman, I suggest you leave the lady alone." You heard a deep manly voice say as the stones stopped.

You dared to slightly turn around and look at him. He was standing with his back towards you but you could make out his lean yet muscular build complimented by the suit he wore.

"This is no way to treat a lady." He said in an accent unknown to you.

"What we do with her or the dog is none of your business." The boy snapped at him.

You gasped as the man grabbed the boy by his collar, lifting him from the ground. "You will apologize to her and you will never bother her again." He said sternly.

"I will apologize to her and I will never bother her again." You frowned when the boy reapeated his exact words nonchalantly.

The suited man then dropped him down. The boy looked at you and said, "I am sorry for hurting you and your dog."

"Now, leave." The man said and turned to the other boys. "Don't you two have something to say."

"I am sorry too."

"I am sorry too."

Both the boys said and ran towards the exit.

You let out a deep breath and stood up painfully as you checked Luke for any injuries. Fortunately, he wasn't hurt but he was really scared.

"Hello, young lady. Are you alright?" The man said and moved forward, his hand reaching out to you.

You reflexively covered your head with your hand and waited for the blow but it never came. You slowly looked up at the man.

His face dimly lit by the moonlight. He was gorgeous...so handsome. You had never seen such a beautiful man in your entire life but you shouldn't be thinking about such things now. You cleared your throat to get all the inappropriate thoughts out of your mind.

"Why do you think I'll hurt you?" He regretted his words the instant they came out of his mouth. Of course you were sacred, who wouldn't be after such a traumatic experience.

"I don't know, most people do." You say in a low voice as you looked down at your feet, your big toe peeking out of the torn shoe.

"A young woman like you shouldn't be outside at this hour, it's almost midnight. Would you like me to escort you to your home?" He said and you couldn't help but melt inside at his words, the way he spoke sent shivers down your body.

"You are standing in my home."

"Oh." It was all he said when he realized what you meant. You were homeless. You had nowhere to go and he felt empathy towards you.

"You have a beautiful dog." He said trying to break the awkard silence and brought his hand out to pet him.

You instantly stepped back trying to protect Luke.

"I will not hurt him." Elijah quickly said.

You looked at him and you could feel the sincerity in his voice, so you slowly took a step forward and let him pet Luke.

"He is not a dog. He is my only family." You said lovingly as you cradled Luke in your arms and lightly kissed his forehead.
