Love is Never Ugly- Delena AH/AU
When her father, Jonathan, gets into big trouble with the law, Elena Gilbert is sent away to the Salvatore Boarding House, the home of Jonathan's high school friend. There she meets Damon, who was mysteriously cursed into a monstrous form and was hidden from the world in the same safety of the boarding house. ****Please note that I did get the original idea from the movie version of Beastly, but I plan on making it as different as possible. The background story of the characters is completely different, and so is the storyline, pretty much. It's basically a Beauty and the Beast tribute, rather than a Beastly tribute, which is why I didn't put this down as a crossover.
~Here's the Prologue!~
I've never heard of the town called Mystic Falls. It apparently lays somewhere in Virginia, and it feels a million miles away from here in Boston. But, for some "important" reason, a reason that demands my "safety", I'm supposed to stay there. Correction; I'm supposed to stay on the outskirts of there, in a little boarding house that's an hour away from civilization. So I stood in my room, packing what little things I had for the end of my life. I was leaving my friends, my school, and my entire universe because of one mistake made by my father. And I'm making all these sacrifices without even knowing what mistake he made! It was completely unfair, and the whole thing scared the hell out of me. But I was a good, obeying daughter and did what he told me because, to be honest, I really needed to get out of here. Not for the reasons he was thinking, but I needed an escape. So I hated and liked this arrangement. A billion things were going through my mind, and I finally decided that this whole thing was completely bipolar, and with that statement I stand. Confusing, I know.
So, apparently, my father had this completely insane life that he kept hidden from me, and he replaced them with lies. My father was not born in New York, he was born in Virginia. My parents didn't meet by bumping into each other at the crossing of Broadway and Wall Street; they met in Mystic Falls High school, where they spent four years dating each other's best friends until they realized their relationships were doomed to fail and cheated with one another. Giuseppe Salvatore, my mother's boyfriend and my dad's best friend, found out about the fling and sworn off all his memories of Jonathan Gilbert. But the story continues into deeper drama.
Long story short—and trust me; it is a LONG story—my dad, Jonathan Gilbert, was dating Miranda Sommers while Giuseppe Salvatore was dating Isobel Flemmings. My dad and Isobel cheated on their significant others with one another, and thus creating me. Giuseppe found out and was no longer friends with Jonathan. My dad was oblivious to my mother's pregnancy since he left Mystic Falls for college in Boston. Mom tracked down Dad and left me on his doorsteps with an awkward symbolic necklace and a very vague note a few months after I was born. As for Giuseppe and Miranda, Dad never heard from either of them until yesterday, when he picked up the phone and called his old high school friend for a giant favor.
And it wasn't until this morning that my dad got the nerve to tell this story to my face, and announce my banishment.
I closed the zipper of my second finished packed bag and moved towards packing my clothes. I didn't know how long I was staying where I was staying, so the first two bags were small luggage full of entertainment and educational things. I brought a few books I bought that I haven't read—like Beautiful Creatures, Halo, and Fallen (the forbidden love angel is a serious fetish)—as well as my laptop and mp3 player. Then I packed spare notebooks and writing utensils, since my number one joy in life is writing. But, last and most important of all, hidden in a secret pocket of the first bag was a blue velvet journal—my journal. With the emotional rollercoaster I was in line for, I was going to need it for the ride.
I packed a month's worth of clothes. I didn't even bother to fold them, so the contents of the bag were completely messy. Tears threatened to leave my eyes as I packed, constantly staring out the window and reminding myself of the life that was getting taken away from me. Right now, I was in the hate mood of this trip. It's as if I were some Damsel in Distress, and that exactly the one thing that I'm not. I felt so helpless and needy; it was a feeling I hated more than anything else in the world. It's why my hate for this situation has brightened so immensely. But I put all my thoughts away, only thinking and hoping that, if I stay longer than a month, they have a washing machine.
I zipped up my last bag just in time for my dad to knock on the bedroom door, just in time to hear him say the words I've been dreading since 8 am. "It's time to go, sweetie." I stared at my father with a broken stare that might haunt him for a while. Then I grabbed all three bags without say a word and brushed passed his should in complete rage. I walked down the steps of the apartment complex stairs; my dad was trailing a few feet behind me. A taxi cab was waiting for me, and I settled down in the back of the car while my dad gave direction to the airport to the driver.
The ride to the airport was worse than I imagined. I was so anxious during the cab ride that I could've exploded into many bits and pieces. When we arrived at the airport, I struggled to find the money my dad gave me. It was just enough to pay for the ride and buy a last minute ticket to Virginia. For some reason, I got luggage free. My dad did mention a contribution to my trip made by Giuseppe, and how that works, I will never know.
It was ten o'clock when the plane took off. And I had about an hour of plane rides and crying babies before the real torture began.
A Torture known as Mystic Falls.
