Well guys, it's been a long time since I've published a FanFiction story but I'm going to try again, so fingers crossed! Here's just a piece of my overactive imagination and this is what I thought be cool if I owned the Vampire Diaries! I sadly don't, so I decided to play around with a few ideas, hope you all like!

Disclaimer: I do not, or ever will, own the Vampire Diaries or any of its characters!

Chapter 1

Flashback October 10th, 1857, Mystic Falls

Outside on the country grounds, it was peacefully quiet, with only the sound of drinks clinking or little children giggling, as they wait to be allowed to have some delicious desert, coming from the Salvatore house just over the hill. In the Salvatore house, they were celebrating a 10 year milestone, in fact, Caroline Salvatore's 10th birthday.

Caroline, waiting eagerly with the other children for a piece of cake, that Old Nancy had made for Caroline, because of her birthday. If this had been any other day, where Old Nancy would be just making cakes just to please Caroline and the rest of her brothers and sister, she would have been allowed her piece now, but since father was here, and told her strictly not to taste the cake without his permission, she knew there would be consequences to face if she were to disobey. But of course, that doesn't stop her older brother Damon, or older sister Annabeth, from trying to eat the cake…

"What are you doing?!" whispered Caroline, as she made her way discretely over to her siblings, who were carefully cutting her into her cake and trying to sneak away with it.

"Well, father only said we had to wait only a while after dinner to have cake, buts it's been over two hours and I'm hungry again!" stated Annabeth, while she started to dig into her piece of cake.

"Yeah, and besides, father has went away into the parlour with the rest of the men, he'll never notice!" scoffed Damon, as he shovelled down his piece as well.

"But father said-"Caroline began, but the next she thing she froze, as she felt a presence behind her. A strong smell of alcohol started to invade her nostrils. She saw Damon and Annabeth stop eating their desert and slowing dropped their plates to the table behind them. Caroline slowly turned around and was met with the furious gaze of her father. She noticed behind her father that all the guests that had showed up for her dinner party were nearly all evacuated now out of the house and into their carriages. Out of the corner of her eye, her older brother Stefan was lingering around the doorframe, unsure what to do, until Old Nancy pulled him away and directed him upstairs. Caroline could see him protesting, but not by much, because even though he is her heroic older brother, even he doesn't want to be involved what is to happen next…

Her father continued to stare at the three of them, with a deadly stare that not even the vilest of humans could match.

"Now, what are you three doing, hmm? I simply remember telling all three of you, including your brother, that you were to obey my orders for tonight, no hesitation and yet, here you are, DISOBEYING MY ORDERS?!" Her father's voice had got louder towards the end, so loud she had to restrain herself from flinching, as she knew that would lead into another catastrophe.

The next thing Caroline knew was a hand coming towards her face. Caroline was preparing herself for the embrace when she heard a voice call out "WAIT!"

Her sister Annabeth stepped forward when she saw that her word had stopped her father from hitting Caroline in the face.

"Caroline was not involved father, she was just trying to stop myself and Da-"but her words were cut off when her father's fist clocked her in the face, making her fall to the ground. If these were any other circumstances, Caroline would have screamed and Damon would have fell to the ground to catch his little sister, but these were not normal circumstances.

As her sister was on the ground, and Caroline forgotten for a moment, her father moved onto her next target, Damon. Caroline had to look away. Out of the children, Damon had always got the worse of the abuse, even going as far as breaking some of bones and using excuses later like, "Ah, Damon, the boy fell of his horse again, a terrible klutz that one!" her father would say to his neighbours or members of the council.

What made Caroline turn around again was hearing a heart breaking sob coming from her brother. When she saw his body on the floor and her father kicking him, Caroline froze, as she knew her turn would be next. As soon as her brother fell unconscious from the beatings and her sister too, Caroline knew what would happen next.

As her father walked towards her, Caroline began to pray, for a better life, for a better home, a better father. The last thing Caroline can remember is a fist hurling towards her face and then…darkness takes over.

October 10th 2010, Mystic Falls

Caroline had waked up with a gasp coming out of her mouth. Damn, Caroline thought, I thought I blocked that out? Caroline looked around her room, nothing seemed out of the ordinary but as she listened, she could hear her siblings bickering downstairs. Caroline got up and walked towards the bathroom, wanting to wash off the sweat from her dream, or nightmare as she should call it. Still after being a vampire for over a century, it still dumbfounded her had they still had to wash themselves regularly, yet they didn't need to pee?

After her quick shower and getting dressed, she could still hear her siblings bicker.

"No! Why would Caroline WANT to go on a blood binge with you? Do you not know our sister?!"

"Well, since I thought I had this new diet, everyone could try it too, starting with Caro-"

"NO! Just because your emotions are turned off, doesn't mean you have to be a dick and start messing with our heads!"

A third voice was added into the conversation.

"As much as it kills me to say this Stefan, I agree with our baby sister, you can't go and convert our other baby sister to your new profound love of blood, sex and killing. Caroline deserves some break from your diva tantrum for her birthday, don't ya think?"

By listening in to the conversation downstairs between her sister, her emotionless brother and Damon, it just gives Caroline more reasons.

More reasons to hate her birthday and everything about them, as all they do is bringing up painful memories.

With that last thought, Caroline braced her shoulders and marched downstairs.

So, what do you guys think? I know it needs some work in progress but is it good for a first time VD fanfic? I promise it will get better! As you've noticed (hopefully) I will be starting in season 3 for my plot, but everything will be explained in later chapters! So atm, Stefan is also emotionless Stefan, which I hated! But it goes with the story…

I've also added a new character, one I created myself! She's Annabeth, a Salvatore and she will be Stefan's twin! I've also messed around with the Salvatore's ages…

In the flashback-

Damon -16

Stefan/Annabeth – 11

Caroline – 10

So please guys, Review! Review! Review! Share the love!
