So I have had this story in my head for a while and I have decided to write it out and give it a shot. So I hope you enjoy! This is only the beginning.
Prologue
The Mystic Falls Grill was packed, chattering between locals polluted the air. Tonight was the Night of the Comet Festival, everyone was out by the town square waiting for the passing of the comet. Jeremy was sitting at the bar waiting for Vicki to return, frequently he felt Elena's eyes bore into the back of his head. He knew she meant well, but he was over her overprotective ways.
The door swung open and revealed a raven haired girl with beautiful crystal blue eyes. She scanned the crowd, a few locals watched her, knowing she was an out of towner. The soft clicks of her heels attracted attention of a few men with hungry eyes and left women reeling. She made her way to the bar, and leaned against the counter. Jeremy turned to see her, not knowing how long he was staring, he quickly turned when she made eye contact.
Elena was laughing with Bonnie when she saw Tyler nodding towards Jeremy's direction. Quickly she turned around and watched the mysterious girl make her way towards the brown haired troubled teen.
"Dark colors, black nails, and angry look; I'm going to go with rebellious phase." She said as she sat next to him. He looked over at her with curiosity. Her soft black waves rippled down her back, she wore zipped red leather jacket, and blue jeans.
"So, what's your story? Everyone's got one." She tugged on his black hoody and took a sip of her drink. She continued seeing he hadn't responded, "It usually helps venting to a stranger, no biased sidings."
He took drank his soda and looked at her, "My parents died last year, and my sister is constantly on my back about the things I do. Not to mention, how I am chasing a girl who only goes back to her douche bag of a boyfriend."
"If someone takes the time out to protect you, you don't just push them away. One way or another you're going to depend on them soon, don't waste your time on other people who are blind to help. And if you ask me, your sister is worried for you and this girl sounds like a complete bitch. " He looked at her with a small amount of shock at her blunt honestly but quickly recovered.
"So what's yours?" She raised an eyebrow, "Pardon?"
He motioned a hand towards her, "Your story?"
Her mouth making an 'O' she nodded, "You know the usual troubled past story, mom was a junkie and dad bailed before she popped me out. Typical teen angst story."
"Have you ever tried to find him?" She chuckled at Jeremy's question, "You know, you aren't so bad. How old are you?"
"16, you?" Elena tried to watch what was going on, without the group noticing.
"16 as well." He eyed her drink, "If your my age how did you get a drink? I've been trying with every new bartender." She downed her drink and looked at the doe eyed teen. "A magician never reveals their secrets." He laughed as the girl smiled brightly.
"I see, so you have this whole mysterious vibe going for you-" Jeremy was quickly cut off by Elena's appearance, his smile faded quickly into a frown.
"Hey Jere, who's this?"She asked with curiosity. Jeremy groaned, "Elena, you don't need to check up on me every 20 seconds."
The raven haired girl smiled, "Consider me just a... stranger." She got up and placed her money on the bar. "It was nice chatting but I have people to check up on before I leave. It was a pleasure meeting you both; Jeremy remember what I said." She began to leave as he called out for her."
"Wait, can I at least get your name?"
She turned a round a smirked, "Well that would kill the whole mystery vibe, the whole point was to open up to a stranger after all." She winked and walked out of the bar, with her heels clicking against the floor board. The warm air tousled her longs locks, pushing her bangs out of her eyes, she made her way down the street.
