"Okay, wake me up then!" she shouted at him over the thunder clouds that suddenly rolled in over head. A giant clap of thunder followed by a flash of lightning lit up the night sky. "Wake me up, Damon Salvatore." She even pinched her arm like that would do anything. If Lucy was sleeping then she wouldn't rise until she was ready to. Even if she was having an awful nightmare. Truly, she'd had worse.
"My mother saw this. I know what I have to do. You're going to have to trust me." Funny she should talk of trust when just a few minutes ago she didn't trust him. But she had only known he was a vampire. She didn't know about the apple orchard, not until this moment. And the thunderstorm. It all made sense now. Lightning flashed through the sky again, casting a ghostly shadow on half of Damon's face.
"Are you strong enough to fight?" she asked him. He did look like he had been sleeping for a long time. She wasn't looking at him now though, she was watching the gigantic King Kong sized shadow moving towards them through the apple orchard. The bow and arrow were discarded in exchange for a katana sword strapped to her back. Lucy pulled it free and held it defensively as the shadow swept towards them.
The storm was worse, terrible inside of the shadow. Lucy could barely herself think over the wind and the rain and the thunder. Next to one of the trees stood a woman with red hair and a wicked little smirk.
"This is my world, little girl. You don't make the rules here," she said.
Lucy felt her sword move and she turned horrified eyes down on the snake she was now holding. She dropped it as if it were on fire.
