I merely am writing a fanfiction plot I came up with and any made up character's that aren't affiliated with Vampire Diaries.
Summary: Elena left Mystic Fall's out of fear of becoming like Katherine and tearing the Salvatores apart as soon as she notices she is developing more then friendly feelings for the older Salvatore. Time passes and she comes back with new people will both or one Salvatore return.
Author's Note: I came up with this idea randomly, it just popped in my head. Also at the end of this chapter the outfits will appear on my profile since they don't save properly on here.
She felt stronger than she had ever before.
In the past she remembered wanting to not be treated as if she'd shatter at the faintest butterfly touch. Now that desire had been fulfilled with some causalities of course but nothing was perfect, she wouldn't regret what happened or so far she hadn't felt like she would in awhile.
As she gazed upon the scenery that lay beyond the glass pane of the window, light began to stream through the glass in a assortment of colors.
Fiery red's mingled with citrusy sun yellows which in turn spiraled with bright oranges. She could even make out the distinct swirls of soft lavender and velvet indigo's. It was a pretty sunrise she had to admit that.
However her mind was drawn back to her thoughts that had been interrupted by the beautiful scenery that lay in front of her.
Light shone in her eyes, she could see the colors more sharply and more distinctly then anyone else…any mortal could. She had the heightened eyesight of which those of her kind had been gifted with.
Yes she was a vampire, a creature of the night…it had been many a decade since she had been human. Being a vampire had its downsides and upsides of course.
She picked up the sound of faint footsteps and the twisting of a door handle. However she didn't arise from her relaxed position in the bed with the sheet's sliding off of her clothed form. She kept her gaze on what lay behind the window as the person entered the room.
The bed gave way underneath another's weight by her side. Her sensitive nose picked up the scent of musk she was familiar with and the scent of expensive cologne she couldn't remember the name of.
The two lay in silence for what seemed like an hour or so, finally the other decided to speak up. "What are you thinking about?" the velvety rich voice spoke gently.
She turned to gaze at the others face and assessed their expression. She gazed into bright jade eyes framed by thick, long and dark eyelashes. She saw a few coppery golden blonde tinged strands that also streaked the raven side bangs that complimented his nape short hair and fell into the male's jade eyes covering the sterling silver stud in his left ear. He wore the expression of concern and affection.
After another minute passed she answered him her voice was just as gentle as his had been. "Nothing really to be honest…I've just been musing over what I am and just staring at the sunrise...How about you?" She asked genuinely curious.
"Nothing much really either…I just came up here as soon as Asher left."
She hummed in acceptance they sat in silence and she turned around and watched the scenery outside. The silence was short lived as Asher burst in the room panting. He was hunched over fishing for breath that he didn't really need. He looked up and grinned through coal colored lashes.
"Hey guys! What are you doing?" He blurred and jumped onto the bed, the mattress sunk in with the impact and then bounced back. Asher's gaze turned to the sunrise outside as he lay on his side feet dangling off the edge just barely.
"Nothing really…just watching the Sunrise." She replied softly.
Asher rolled onto his back and on his other side and gazed at the two of them. The sun hit his short wavy rich mocha colored hair tinged with coral red at the ends and streaked a few pieces of his hair. A little silver stud glittered in his left ear.
"Asher…that was kind of fast…I thought you were going to feed." She stretched her feet out as the jade eyed vampire beside her spoke.
"Yea I did but it was a quick feed…I didn't need much I only quickly went out to grab more stuff from the blood bank then I drank from one of the blood bags to make sure I wasn't bursting with enormous hunger when we board the plane tonight." Asher clucked his tongue.
He continued "Plus now we don't have to stock up as soon, later on this week." He shifted his gaze to her and then back to Zephyr while his finger idly drew imaginary pictures in the bed's cover.
"Why, were you eager to rid of me Zephyr?" He grinned despite the last statement.
Zephyr shook his head and replied. "Of course not you idiot…your like my brother for centuries now…we stick together. Despite how idiotic you can be sometimes." He threw one of the pillows from the mounds behind him. Asher's hand shot out quickly and caught it with ease and smirked.
She saw Asher's amethyst eyes light up at the teasing tone Zephyr used. "Idiot? That's really mean…How rude!" Asher stuck out his tongue and grinned while his eyes crinkled slightly in happiness as he threw the pillow at Zephyr aiming for his face.
Zephyr caught it with the same ease Asher did.
"I'm hungry…I'm going to go feed." She sat up and slipped out of the bed.
She blurred down the stairs and into the bare kitchen.
She opened the fridge and spotted an O blood bag and ripped it open as soon as she grabbed it. She searched for a straw and pierced the bag with it. She couldn't help but drink the contents greedily and then she disposed of the empty bag and straw.
She blurred upstairs into her room the boys still there and blurred into the bathroom.
She fished a toothbrush and applied minty toothpaste to it. She brushed her teeth swiftly and grabbed her brush.
She brushed her hair quickly and peered into her reflection in the mirror.
She saw a girl with cream porcelain skin mixed with a slight olive tone complimented with chocolate brown eyes and chocolate brown tresses put into a messy side braid peering back at her.
She picked lint off of the creamy beige KRMA jacket she wore opened, over a sleeveless chiffon woven dress fashioned with contrast-coloured polka-dot prints and fancy pleats for the hem.
As she bent down her Siberian tear necklace with a Lapis Lazuli swung in the air above it a shorter necklace above it with a silver chain and emerald stone cut into a leaf shape.
The hand that clutched the hairbrush and tooth brush was adorned with a single ring with a Lapis Lazuli stone her the first letter of her name was embellished on it just like Zephyr's and Asher's ring. She grabbed all the other remaining essentials still left in the bathroom that she hadn't packed away yet.
As she walked the click of her brown leather lace-up boots with a wooden heel adorned with zip fastenings on both sides that complimented the black nylons embroidered with black floral patterns on the sides.
She entered the room and saw her bed made and Asher sitting at the foot of the now bare bed the sunset's rays was shining through the glass even brighter than before. Asher was rolling his shoulders.
She saw his vampire muscles rippling from underneath the Vice plaid shirt in blue, his arms covered by a black cotton cardigan left unbuttoned. As his black booted feet shifted in mid air and when he stood up his blue jean pants crinkled at the knees and then smoothed out. As he stretched she spotted his Lapis Lazuli ring.
"Where's Zephyr?" She asked as she placed all of the essentials in her arms and hands into the duffel bag she assumed one of the boys brought out for her.
Asher began to taking all the other things still unpacked in room and placed them into black duffel bag. "He went to grab food from the refrigerator and to pack the bags into the car." Asher smiled and as soon as the bag was zipped up he slung it hoisted it on his shoulder.
She glanced around her empty room full of standard furniture and the Spartan mattress. She didn't really furnish this room, they hadn't planned to stay long anyway and the furniture that was already placed here they left alone for the new people moving in.
Asher held her hand as he took her out of the room and down the stairs. They passed the rooms that were bare with exception of the standard furniture. As soon as they got outside the sun's ray's fell upon them and her pupils shrunk and she bowed her head as she got in the back of the borrowed car.
The car was a rental until they bought their cars which they planned to as soon as they arrived at their destination.
It was a very nice rental too and expensive. It was a black convertible BMW, no scratches no markings it was brand new or so she assumed.
She leaned back and saw Zephyr stop in his journey to the car and saw that his own Lapis Lazuli ring was glimmering. He was only clad in an Armani modern logo dress shirt in midnight blue paired off with stone wash pants paired off with his usual black boots.
She saw him climb in the driver's seat and Asher sit down simultaneously in the front passenger seat; he turned around and placed her duffel bag beside her. And another smaller bag that seemed to swish with what she assumed was bags of blood.
As soon as they got out of the drive way she opened her duffel bag and purse, she rifled through the contents and fished out a pair of dark blue Ray ban wayfarers and put them on. She saw Asher don a red pair and Zephyr a black pair of the same brand of sunglasses.
Music pulsed through the car's stereos, she smiled as she recognized the song, and it was an old, old song. They zoomed down the road and the car purred as it accelerated across the empty and vast road.
Asher turned around and grinned as he spoke to her. "Are you nervous to return to your hometown Elena?"
She nodded but smiled. "Yes I am…it's been awhile since I've been there a few of my dear friends may still be alive…I have an idea of a few that I think would enjoy my presence, welcome me back even…but I'm nervous…"
I don't want to run into a few other people though…I wouldn't know what to say…I'm sorry or…I'm back! Wouldn't justify anything…If I'm lucky I can avoid the people I need too.
Zephyr spoke up. "Elena…You'll have us…It'll be okay we'll protect you if you need us too." He quickly took his eyes off of the road and turned to smile at her for a few seconds and then he looked back and focused on the road.
Yes, everything would be okay…as long as she had Zephyr or Asher…she would fair well, she wasn't a fragile human anymore.
