The autumn breeze swept through Mystic falls brushing along pale leaves and the one cherry blossom tree in the entire town showered its pink petals and the full blossomed petals covered a fragile human frame standing still with arm spread while some petals settled in between the delicate fingers.
How soft they felt in her palms and it smelled of far distant land and surprisingly also like her mother.
"Elena what are you doing here?" The shrill voice was that of her best friend Caroline Forbes
"The breeze is not good for your health" She was joined by her another best friend Bonnie Bennet
Elena could not help but smile as she gazed at her concerned besties how quickly did they forget that she was not some dainty little princess who needed constant love and protection just because she was an orphan. Her heart slightly twitched at this thought.
"I am fine guys I am just so glad to be back home and to be with you all" her eyes twinkled as she said this and the other girls agreed too. But the two were in a hurry to take Elena away from the cold breeze.
"Hey girls glad you found her" Elena's aunt Jenna came running out of the house.
"Will you stop cuddling our very new cardio intern"
The women turned around to see Alaric Saltzman approaching towards his wife Jenna who still had her one arm around Elena.
"What's with you founding families anyway is it some kind of a legacy that a surgeon's daughter turns into a surgeon"
Alaric gently ruffled Elena's hair while winking at his wife
"Oh I will never be a sheriff I hate the uniform" Caroline's comment made everyone laugh as they entered the house.
Please review and next chapter enters Damon..
