I am typing this on a phone, so I apologize for any grammar issues.*
I have dreamed of this woman since I could remember. Her dark hair pulled back and her beautiful eyes glimmering in the sun. She had a beautiful smile that would brighten anyones day. I always hear my name be repeated over and over but never above a whisper. "Addlyn. Addlyn." Before I wake from the dream, her face drops and her smile turns into a sad frown. Almost regretful. As my eyelids open, I roll over to my side and take a sip of my morning energy boost. The glass is cold to my lips and the thick liquid runs down my throat. Its a cold glass of blood, but it will make do. I look around my small room. I booked a hotel 35 miles from my final destination. Mystic Falls is one of three places I plan to visit. I've heard many vampires talk about this beautiful city, so I figured I would take a look myself. I slide the curtains to the side and warm sunlight flooded in. It felt wonderful on my skin. I have always had my necklace. I don't even remember where it came from. I do remember the day I decided to take it off was not a wonderful day. I went to the bathroom to freshen up. I changed in new attire and slipped on short black boots. My necklace is a deep onyx. Its oval and the stone hangs low close to my ribs. I left the original silver chain on. I tuck it inside my loose white v-neck top. I pulled my black jacket on and grabbed the keys to my Black Optima. Nothing fancy, just something to get around. After checking out of the hotel, my next stop was going to be Mystic Falls.
The city was not a disappointment. I loved the downtown area. Everyone walked from one store to the next. In most places I've been, driving was a necessity. I parked in the first empty spot I found and smiled big when I opened the door. It was beautiful. I walked from each store and did my first stop looking for new clothes to wear. I would be attending Mystic Falls High School Monday. I normally don't compell, but when its necessary I do. Such as looking for a home. I grabbed a newspaper and walked into The Mystic Grill. "Its a seat yourself," a bus boy says as he walks by. He makes no eye contact. "Thank You." I replied and he looks up. "No problem." He replied smiling. I looked around to find a seat and settled for a booth. I sat my two bags from the stores in the empty seat across from me. I grabbed the newspaper and began reading the listings. "You are not from around here are you?" I looked up to see the bus boy. "How can you tell." I replied folding the newspaper back. "Small town. Everyone knows everybody." He replied laying a menu down. " Actually give me the biggest burger you have and a water please." I said sliding the menu back. "I will get that in for ya and my name is Matt if you need anything else." He said nodding to me. I thanked him and he ran off to work. I pulled my newspaper back out and began looking for a house. One caught my attention and I called the number to set up a meet for today. My appointment is at 4 and I would be meeting her at the place. I smiled with how convenient she was already. My burger arrived and I ate about three quarters of the way. I looked around to actually take in my surroundings. This was going to be a good change.
I was getting up out of the booth, when my eyes averted to the entrance. A group had walked in. They looked like regulars. One guy though looked like a someone I met back in England for a short time. I caughy Matt as he was walkinh by.
" Hey Matt. Do you happen to know his name?" I said as he leaned against the table. "Oh yeah. Thats Stefan Salvatore. The whole group is actually really close to me." He replied waving. I looked up to Stefan looking at me. A smile appeared on his face. If he could've, I believe he would've used his speed to reach me. I stood up just in time. He wrapped his arms around me. "It appears yall know each other." Matt replied chuckling.
"Addlyn. What brings you to Mystic Falls?" Stefan asked. "So many spoke of it, that I had to come see it myself." I replied back. I looked at the other three. One stood near Stefan. She caught my attention. "Katherine?" I smiled and hugged her. She stood still. I felt her warm skin. My face showed my confusion. " Elena." she said smiling and holding out her hand. "I'm sorry. You just remind me of someone." I replied forcing a smile. "No its fine. It has been happening alot here lately." She answered back. Her hand ran through her hair. I looked next to her. " I'm Caroline." She held out her hand and I shook it. She was just as cold as Stefan and I. Her blonde hair fell beautifully on her shoulders. I smiled knowing she was vampire. "I'm Bonnie." replied a short dark-skinned girl. She was just as beautiful. I reached out my hand and that is when it happened. I don't know why, but we both were on our way to the floor. My eyes drifted shut and I never felt the cold hard surface.
