What is Going ON?
When this first started I didn't want to believe it. I mean out of all the people in the world why was I stuck in this mess? Was it fate? Was it some other mystical force from far away telling me 'this is your destiny'? Or was it just a mix of my extremely bad luck and my penchant for trouble? Well I'll let you decide that.
Before I drag you into the chaos that is my life I guess I should tell you a bit about myself. My name is Dorina Kirk; but everyone knows me as Dory. I know my name is quite a mouthful. I have brown hair that goes down to below my shoulder blades (but which I keep tied up into two buns on the top of my head), pale skin with no freckles and bright blue eyes which are hidden by thick, boxy glasses. I am very short at about 5 feet and 1 inch, but have a very fit body from years of gymnastics and different styles of martial arts. My wardrobe consists of mostly baggy or large clothes since I am not very comfortable around others who are not in my close circle of friends and tend to become shy or extremely sarcastic when nervous. For some reason my best friend, Caroline Forbes, finds this immensely funny.
Caroline is about the opposite of me in physical appearance; what with her grey eyes and bright blond hair, standing at about 5 foot 7 inches. She is head cheerleader at our school and although may seem quite vapid and shallow, is actually quite insecure, though you wouldn't think it with her bubbly, outgoing attitude (I swear she can use her attitude to persuade anyone to do anything, and yet no one believes me when I say that one day she could take over the world with all her pep). She even once almost managed to get me to try out for cheerleading squad, but I told her I was fine as being known as the weird, small, quirky best fiend of the most popular girl in school.
We have been best friends for about 14 years of my 17 year old life. From playing castle in the sand box, to listening to any and every type of music out there (in fact together we have the best illegal bootleg collection in Mystic Falls!), to dreaming about prom in our senior year and boys. Ah, such is the life of a female teenager! She is currently dating the star quarterback Tyler Lockwood, who I don't particularly like even though he did become less of a douche since turning into a fluffy monster every full moon. Still I do have to give him props for holding the current title of 'longest reigning boyfriend to miss Caroline Forbes'.
Then there is Elena Gilbert, another close friend of mine. Looks like a model with long, dark brown coloured hair, honey-chocolate eyes, and a figure to die for at a height of 5 feet 6 inches. She has a sweet personality and is one of the kindest people I know, who would do almost anything to help others. Currently she is dating Stefan Salvatore, although I personally believe that she would be better suited with Stefan's older brother Damon, not that I would ever tell her that. She can be scary!
Bonnie Bennett, who is a friend of Caroline and Elena, is not someone I would call a good friend, but rather a person who I love to annoy and who can be a bit too judgy for my taste sometimes (though I must admit she does have a wicked tongue when it comes to sassing people). Annoyingly enough she is very pretty, with her dark brown eyes and ebony curls. She is the same height as Elena and is also on the cheerleading squad with Caroline. She is also currently dating, or at least I think so but with all the drama nowadays who really knows, Elena's younger brother Jeremey (who I have to admit is FINE).
The Salvatore brothers can be summed up into an easy description of tall, dark and handsome. Stefan is known as the brooder, Damon as the bad boy (although does tend to have an older brother vibe going on around me sometimes). They are both very protective of Elena, and both in love with her (although Damon continuously denies it).
Oh and I forgot to mention; I live in Mystic Falls. Have since I was 3 years old, when my family moved here from London. I live by myself because my family was killed, well actually murdered, when I was 8; though I don't know by whom. I am emancipated and I have my own small fortress of solitude in a rather shabby apartment complex. Often I have dinner at Caroline's house; we keep each other company a lot since her mum seems to be always working. Unfortunately Mystic Falls has turned into a hotspot for the supernatural, so death and turnings have arisen. So far we have Elena the Doppleganger; Caroline, Stefan and Damon the vampires; Tyler the werewolf, and Bonnie the wiccan.
But me; I am something else. I am much more powerful than Bonnie as I was born with the magic inside me, so there are no repercussions for using its power (unlike for Bonnie who gets ill, or could very well go insane). That is why my family was destroyed; people wanted our power, but when they realised they couldn't access it, they decided it was too much of a risk for us to be alive. Caroline is the only people who know about my power, and has promised to never tell anyone about my secret.
So yeah, this is my big, cuddly, happy family. Well it was until the trouble started. But I don't know if I regret the trouble or not. I'll let you decide.
