Chapter 17 THE WOMAN IN THE PORTRAIT

• Sam stopped walking, after walking into different rooms to find Damon,he finally found Damon's room. He knocked at the door hoping to get a reply from him but when he got none, he simply opened the door and entered the room. Compared to the other rooms he entered, this dimly lit masculine room was large and empty. And just like the living room, this particular room was even more dull looking. The walls were slate grey and despite how large the room was, there was only a bed and a closet in the room but that wasn't what caught his attention. What caught his attention was the large portrait of a woman hanged at the centre of the wall. The drawing looked so real as though the woman in the portrait was in this room with him, whoever had drawn her must have been an expert.
• Sam's gaze remained fixed on the portrait as he stared at the woman in the portrait. He was amazed to find a portrait of a woman in Damon's room that he wondered who this woman was. He could tell that this woman was someone special to him but he had never heard of Damon having a lover, in fact, he believed he had spent most of his years searching for the infamous witch even though he didn't know the exact reason why Damon was after her life, he guessed she must have done something evil to him judging that she was a notorious witch. He sighed as he couldn't even find the person he came here to look for. 'Where could he be?' He turned back to leave but was startled when he saw Damon at his front giving him a stern look. Sam was so sure he wasn't in this room when he entered the room, how come he was standing here? There was no way he could have entered the room without him not feeling his presence.
• "What are you doing here?"
