"Anna! Get up!"

"Dad" she groaned as she opened one eye and looked at the clock "it's not even 5:30! Whyyyyy?"

"You're driving me to the airport."

"That's nice" she murmered as she snuggled dow into her pillows again before her eyes snapped open "Wait... What?" She half sat as she looked at her father. "Where are you going?"

Her father threw up his hands "Great. Teens never listen! I told you I was going away this week. You're staying here now that Damon is living here. No need for you to go to Red's."

Climbibg out of her bed in a hurry she pleaded with her father "Please Dad, I always go to Red's when you're away. It's nice to spend some time with her mum."

"Don't be ridiculous Anna. This will give you the chance to get to know him better."

"Dad, please?!?!!"

"No Anna. I know he's looking forward to spending quality time getting to know you. You should at least show some manners and be happy to get to know your future husband."

"Dad, he doesn't like me and I don't like him. We're going to end up fighting all the time. It would be better if..."

"Morning Anna." Him.

Her father raised an eyebrow to her.

"Morning Damon."

He laughed "Not a morning person I see."

"Not this early" she murmured.

"If I'd known I would never have suggested to your father that we'd drive him to the airport and then go and have breakfast."

"It was your idea... figures."

"Anna! That's enough. Apologise."

"Sorry Daddy."

"Not to me girl. To Damon... and try to look at him when you say it."

She exhaled slowly as she looked up at Damon. Her breath caught as she saw a smile on his face, a real smile. He looked so different. She lookwd past the smile to look him in the eyes and shivered. The smile may be on his face but his eyes... the smile never reached them.

"I'm sorry Damon."

She obviously surprised him as his expression changed for a second.

"Hey it's ok sweetheart. At least we don't have to do this every day!"

Her father laughed "heaven help anyone who tries to get her to do that!"

Damon joined in with the laughter as Anna moved to her wardrobe.

"Ok Ok... Enough laughing at the kid. Please leave so I can get dressed."

Her father left first and as Damon turned to follow he looked at her.

"5:30am."

"What?" She was confused.

"Your new wake up time. I get up at six. You'll be getting up to make me breakfast. Eggs, bacon, pancakes, freshly squeezed orange juice. If I decide on anything else I'll just come and see you through the night."

He turned again to face the door before he turned back and walked to her "Good morning Anna!"

His mouth found hers with precise and determined movements as he pushed his tongue into her mouth. His hands found their way around her body squeezing the softness with no hint of compassion. He was brutal.

Pulling back he slapped her on the arse.

"Don't forget... you're mine." He laughed at her as she stood trembling while he walked away.

Just when she thought he was gone he came back to the door. "Make sure you have everything you nees for school. I'll be driving you and picking you up from now on."

She nodded as she tried to keep her head low. He sighed and walked away as she heard "so fucking disappointing."
