It's a dark night, as I fly into the Salvatore boarding house where Stefan and I grew up in, as a big, black crow. And then, as I land inside, I turn back into my human-looking self.601Please respect copyright.PENANA3CMF01iioJ
"Hello, brother," I greet, as I look at Stefan, my only brother.601Please respect copyright.PENANARE2FEy7wQC
"What are you doing here, Damon?" Stefan asks me.601Please respect copyright.PENANAWUOWEHkXG7
"I could ask you the same thing," I answer. "I think it could all be summed up into one little word. Elena."601Please respect copyright.PENANAccP4QL6QI3
"Stay away from Elena," he warns me.601Please respect copyright.PENANAPrlR4K2T4c
"Come on. Don't you want to know what her blood tastes like? Just one drink."601Please respect copyright.PENANACidvBh3uTI
"Stop it," he says.601Please respect copyright.PENANAMRR6E2tIno
"I wonder what her blood tastes like!" I announce, continuing on as if I didn't hear him.601Please respect copyright.PENANAMR8qyi3S09
"I said, stop it!" he yells and grabs me.601Please respect copyright.PENANAKaV1pDuAJJ
We fall out of the window onto the ground below and stand up, facing one another.601Please respect copyright.PENANAHbGSaYV1Dv
"Not bad. Have you been eating bunnies?" I say.601Please respect copyright.PENANA0dr5BLvyT9
We fight some and I win because he has had enough.601Please respect copyright.PENANAAIpwJukhae
"Where's your ring at?" I ask. "The sun's coming up in a few hours and if you're not wearing it, you'll be crispy fried."601Please respect copyright.PENANAdjGCLcxOzs
He looks worried, so I say, "Relax. I have it right here," handing it over to him.
The next day, Elena comes into our house looking for Stefan. I greet her when I see her saying, "I'm Damon. Stefan's brother."601Please respect copyright.PENANA8yA3NEVnld
"He didn't mention he had a brother," she replies.601Please respect copyright.PENANAkQMa2Ix9P4
I tell her that Stefan has an ex-girlfriend, though I don't say her name.601Please respect copyright.PENANAynTagGbmCx
"Ex?"601Please respect copyright.PENANA6BxkP0vfst
"Oh, you two haven't had the awkward ex conversation. Well, I guess it'll come up now."601Please respect copyright.PENANAtswushtJIV
Stefan arrives.
I explain to her, "I could get the family photo albums out, but I'll warn you, he wasn't always a looker."601Please respect copyright.PENANANeXhym9Dgu
"Damon," Stefan tells me in warning.601Please respect copyright.PENANAL5PPUPNBGe
I kiss her hand.601Please respect copyright.PENANAgqofWYU51x
"Pleasure meeting you, Elena."601Please respect copyright.PENANAhbIXcqJCAP
I walk off.
Later, when Stefan locks me in the cell after vervaining me, I am able to get out of the cell and I kill our Uncle Zack.
