~CLARISSA~

“How did this even happen?” Atticus asks me. “Why did you go out into the woods alone?”

It was the next day after getting attacked by vampires. The doctor had already seen me yesterday and confirmed that the poison was out of my body. I was already back to normal, which meant everyone around me was ready to ask some questions. I’d already gotten plenty of questions for the morning, I guess it was now Atticus’s turn to ask.

He didn’t look happy with me at all. In fact, he looked extremely disappointed that I would put my life in danger like that. In my defense, I didn’t think I would bounce up three vampires in the middle of the woods. I was hoping to meet up with Damon, but no one else.

“I wanted to join Damon on his run,” I answer him. “The guard informed me that he went for a run. I wanted to catch up with him, but the vampires saw me before I could make it any further. I didn’t think I would be in danger when Damon was also there. Besides, it wasn’t that far from our home either.”

He takes a deep breath and I try to prepare myself for his words.

“Do you know how dangerous your actions were, Clarissa?” Atticus demands from me. “You could have waited for Damon to return. You didn’t have to go after him. I know you two are having a fight, but it can’t be so important that you would risk getting hurt.”

He was wrong. It was important. I felt like I was running out of time, and I had to fix things with Damon before I lost him. Atticus wouldn’t understand this even if I tried to explain it; that’s why I refused to say anything in return. It would be better if he thought I agreed with him.

Yesterday, things took a turn for the worst. If I thought things were bad between Damon and me before, I was clearly in for a surprise. Every day we have been pushed further apart from each other.

If I sat back and did nothing, Damon would never make the first move. I knew him;
