Big Cat Cove 3
I awoke to silence and darkness. Where in the he'll am i? I wondered. I was sore and stiff. I flexed my joints and realized that I was in a cushioned box. I started to notice finer detailing and that all though it was pitch black I could see everything. I shoved against the lid of the box with all my strength and my hands busted threw leaving two fist sized holes. Dirt came pouring in. I used my whole arm and slammed my body upward against the lid. It gave away and came crashing down on me. Surprisingly it didn’t hurt. I dug my way upward and eventually made it out of the dirt. I pulled the rest of my body out of the dirt and layed on the ground starring at the stars. That’s when I heard a gasp in the distance. I jumped upwards and crouched in a protective way barring my teeth. “It can’t be…Its impossible...We were too late...But how?” A familiar loved voice said cutting off in a sob. Damon stepped out from the trees. He looked like he hadn’t hunted in months. He was so thin and fragile looking now. “Damon?” I cocked my head to the side. “It is you!” He yelled as he ran to me swiping me off my feet. “What’s going on?” I asked. His eyes sadden as he told me about how I died and how they thought the venom didn’t spread. I wiped away his bloody tears. “A lot has changed since you’ve been gone. This new vampire group has taken over and Nathan has to be the meanest nastiest vampire werewolf I have ever met.” Hearing that come out of Damon’s mouth was shocking. He usually thought as himself as the most dangerous thing out there but he made Nathan seem worse. “He’s been hunting down vampires and killing them. I’ve been hiding out with Stefan and Ty but it’s only a matter of time before they find us.” He looked into my eyes with worry. “How long was I dead? And I’m one of you now?” I wondered aloud. “You was buried 6 months ago and yes you’re by some miracle a vampire.” He smirked at me. I looked into his eyes. Me being back seemed to please him greatly. I slowly began to remember everything that had happened when I was human. When I thought of Joey my heart didn’t hurt as much as it use to. Then I realized I had stopped breathing. My lungs didn’t seem to need air anymore. I had a great burning in my throat though. It felt like I had had strep throat on top of somebody shoving hot rocks down my throat. I wrapped my hands around my neck trying to sooth the pain. It didn’t help. Damon looked at me. “You feel the burning in your throat eh? We need to get some human blood in you before the venom stops and you just die again.” Damon stood up taking my hand and leading me to my old black cougar. I looked at him questioningly. “I couldn’t just get rid of it. I did fix it up though. New engine, New paint job, new tires and of course tinted windows.” He smiled at me flashing his teeth. We drove into town. The place looked deserted. We pulled into the driveway of my old house. It looked the same on the outside but when we went inside all my furniture and pictures were gone. The only thing in the main room was 6 beds and a TV. When I walked in the door after Damon I met the shocked Ty and Stefan. “Sssandra?” Ty stammered. “Yup its me Ty.” I said going over and hugging him. It can’t be we were too late. How is this possible? She died 6 months ago! “Ty stop acting like im not here! I know I died but how does that matter?? I’m back now aren’t i!? I figured you’d be happy to see me again!” I yelled as I shoved him away. “How’d you know what I was thinking?” Ty asked. “You said it out loud Ty! As if I wasn’t even here!” I yelled at him. Damon and Stefan grabbed my arms. “No he didn’t.” Damon said. “You need to calm down before you end up hurting somebody.” Stefan whispered urgently. Can you hear me? Nod once if you do. Damon said. I nodded and he gasped. “What?” I asked in utter confusion. “You…You. Just read my thoughts.” Damon replied slowly. "how is that possible ?!" I asked shocked. "it's legend that some vampires get supernatural gifts when they are created.” Stefan replied in a matter of fact voice. wow I can read minds.Hmmmmm I tuned in on Ty. We could really use Sandra’s new ability in the war but what if she gets hurt? Tys metal voice sounded excited but worried. My throat still burned and my thought quickly turned to Thinking about a way to make it stop. Damon noticed the pained look on my face. He looked at Stefan.” do we have anymore true blood in the fridge?" Damon asked sounding hopeful."Yah I thinking we have one bottle left." Stefan turned to me.” go in the kitchen and on the top self of the fridge is a bottle of true blood. It's pure human. We bought a couple to help keep our strength up but we need to go hunt later tonight." he smiled at me and I gulped. I didn't know how to hunt and I wasn't looking forward to drinking blood, especially human blood. I went in the kitchen and opened the fridge. sure enough there was a bottle that was red with the label true blood a positive on the front. I twisted the cap and took a sniff. My throat bursted into flames and my mouth began to water. I finished the whole bottle within seconds. the burning in my throat died a little but I could still feel it. I licked my lips just as Damon and Ty busted into laughter when I asked for more. "I'm sorry love but the stores are protected by Nathans clan. Animal blood is the second best. We'll all hunt soon I promise." Damon reassured me.
*********************************************************************************************
We were in the woods. I listened to the birds chirp. The boys minds were calm and focused." how do you hunt?" I asked Damon. He put his arms around me from behind.” close your eyes and listen closely. what do you hear?” he whispered. I closed my eyes And tuned all my focus to just listening. in the distance I could hear some scratching at a tree and a strong heart beating.” I hear a strong heart and scratching.” I whispered back."Mmmmhhm exactly right. now keep your eyes closed and smell the air." I sniffed the air and smelt something mouth watering but it didn't have the same smell as human blood but it was close. Damon let go of me.” now follow your nose.” he whispered stepping back. I followed the wonderful smell for a couple of yards and found a mountain lion scatting and digging at a tree. I crouched in a hunting stance and then I pounced onto the lions back. The lion cried out in surprise but was quick to flip it's body around. the fight was on. It managed to rip my shirt into shreds before I sunk my teeth into it's neck. It took me 3 try’s to hit a blood vein. I drank the blood quickly and felt the lion start to go limp in my arms. The fire in my throat died down even more and then the blood was gone. I dropped the limp body to the ground and stood up meeting the eyes of my audience. "I guess I could’ve done that better." I whispered and they chuckled. "it's all about the practice." Ty said sticking his tongue out at me. I chuckled. There was the sound of a twig snapping behind us. We all turned just as a massive wolf stepped out from the shadows and snarled at us. It's one of Nathans wolf men, Damon thought. I don't know why I did what I did but I did. I pounced onto the massive wolfs back. I heard the hectic screams from Ty and Damon. I drew my fangs and sunk them into the wolfs shoulder tighting my grip. The wolf thing cried out in pain. I felt it's bones crush just as it flung me off it's back. I launched for it's neck just as it's massive paw knocked me into a tree. The tree split in half. The boys circled the wolf. I got to my feet again and heard their mental voices yelling at me to stop. I threw myself at the wolf again. only this time I latched my teeth into a blood vein on it's neck. I felt my venom flow into the wolf but i quickly drew back. spitting out the wolfs blood. It tasted worse then anything I had every tasted befor.it was to sweet but yet to sour. "ewwwwww!!!"I yelled out. The wolf fell over on it's side crying in pain.it's breathing grew heavier. It slowly transformed back into it's human form and then the man began to gasp."you.....you..bite me!how could you?!?"his muffled cry cut off in a gurgle and he went limp.I looked at Damon in confustion."our venom is poison to the purebred werewolfs.we better go befor his pack shows up." Damon explained.I heard the thudding of paws against the ground in the distance.I managed to keep up with damon and the other two.we made it back to the house.we gotta get out of town,Ty thought.Just the there was a loud scratching noise at the door. All of us gasped. I smell them,the strangers mental voice said. "I know your in there!" he yelled. Damons eyes widened. Sandra, go cover yourself in the garlic that's under the kitchen sink.itll hide your smell from him and you'll stay safe.there's a hidden door way in the closet,Damons thoughts shouted at me. Out loud he whispered "Ty go with Sandra in the room.guard her with your life for me." Ty nodded just as Damon flashed to my side,kissin me softly for a moment.I did as I was told and with one last look at Damon and Stefan me and and Ty went into the passage way closing the door and bolting it. There was a crash and a loud scream. I bite down on my bottom lip and felt my razor sharp teeth sink into it. Warm venom flowed into my lip.Ty shot me a worried look. Spread the venom over your wounds,he thought, it’ll seal them. I used the tip of my tongue and spreaded the venom over my bite marks.there was a tingling feeling and then the holes grew back together. I bite down on my arm and repeated the same thing that I did to my lip and watched in amazement as the holes grew shut within seconds. I was amazed. "does it work if I rub my venom on yu?"I asked."no it would only sting""oh"was all I said. the other room grew quiet.Sandra can yu hear me?damons mental voice came from the distance. It's safe to come out. I slowly undid the dead bolts. The house was a mess. The wall to the left had caved in and all you saw sticking out of the rubble was a hand. I screamed at the sight. is it Damon under that? Is he ok? Damon came walking out of the other room looking like he hadn't been touched. I let out a sigh of relief. There was
