Damon wandered back feeling only slightly better and far more disgusted than he cared to admit. Animal blood was nothing like human blood but he would make due, he wouldn't risk harming Lucy. He stood at the edge of the forest and watched her sitting by the fire, she looked deep in thought. Her thoughts were probably mirroring his own in wondering how this was even possible.
"Penny for your thoughts." He said as he approached and she pulled her fish from the flame. It smelled terrible but she made fast work of pulling the skin off to get to the meat. He sat and warmed his hands while she devoured the fish like she hadn't eaten in days. He doubted that very much considering who raised her.
"How is this even possible?" He finally asked after a long silence. She was kicking dirt over the flames when he asked and she just gave him a look for a second. "I've been here for a long time and Stefan could never find a way to fix me. I've watched them for a while after I first slept, then everything was just dark. Until you."
Everything about right now felt so surreal to Damon. He couldn't quite wrap his brain around the fact he was awake and being taken to see his brother. He wondered if this was all some kind of cruel joke and he would be standing over his sleeping body the next time he closed his eyes to enjoy the feel of the sun on his face.
