Damon

DAMON

I lost her in a house fire.

I hadn't gotten there fast enough. I'd lived with that guilt for some time now, let it turn me into the cold-blooded monster I am today.

But suddenly, like a ghost, she's in front of me, pleading for me to protect our daughter - a daughter I'd never known anything about.

She wants to run, but like hell is that happening.

Because I protect what's mine. And her? She's been mine since day zero.

I had prayed for salvation.

And finally, it was granted, and I ran. I ran for the one man I knew would destroy this entire world to protect our little girl.

I'd planned to keep running, but Damon has other plans.

He's keeping me, and he's going to burn the world down around me if it means keeping us safe.
