Chapter 1
He left me, oh well…
BPOV
"We're leaving Bella…" Edward said. Yeeeessss! Wait, I have to act all sad and pathetic now. I really hated playing the weak innocent human. I want to show people my strength and power but nobody cares about what I think anymore. Bella Swan had just been a fake person that I have used to manipulate the cold ones to my own will. I have never had any respect for the cold ones, I mean they sparkled. They SPARKLE! That made me lose any respect, but to make it worse is that they are 'vegetarian'
"Ummm… y-yo-you c-can't!" He kissed the top of my and then he was gone. He left me… in the woods … alone. Yep, he would leave me there in the dangerous forest with shape shifters out here, not that I couldn't take them I just think it would have been nicer to at least make sure I didn't get lost and died in the forest!
Finally, I can go back home to Mystic Falls where I first met Damon and Stefan Salvatore. I have always chosen Damon over Stefan and he was mine until Katherine took both of them away from me. Even though I didn't have feelings for Stefan, I thought of him as my brother. After she came I left, but I kept tabs on them. All I know is that she turned them.
After I left, I started compelling people to make me their daughter. I just want to live my life as normal as I can. When it's time to move on, I go into hiding for years then go to a new state so that none of the people will notice me and rat me out as a vampire.
I have a strange feeling that I need to go back to the Salvatore Boarding House, a place I swore to never go again, to find something, or someone.
Now I'm on the road, crossing the country to go to Virginia. I have stopped a lot to drink a blood bag and go to a diner to eat. I never killed though; it seems too morbid to kill someone that way. It's also very cliché for amateur demon-hunters to try and kill a vampire with garlic and holy water.
Finally, I'm in Mystic Falls! This is so weird, I haven't been here since Damon and Stefan turned. The two of them keep my deepest, darkest secret: I'm Katherine's older sister. They knew I was nothing like her. She was a controlling bitch and I am just a bitch when I get mad. Getting out of my thoughts, I look outside only to see Katherine. She and I have never gotten along, but we kept and touch and she didn't tell me about coming back to Mystic Falls. We have a truce of sorts and we agreed to meet up every fifty years to talk about what was going on. The other part of the agreement was that we tell the other if we are moving so that if they need help we can help, but the main reason is to stay away from each other as much as possible.
This girl though, acted differently than Katherine does. This girl is much shyer than Katherine; she also looked very happy, happier than I had ever seen Katherine. She looked better with her hair curled but she was still beautiful. I looked a lot like Katherine also; I look younger because I was changed four years before her. I have the same curly brown hair and brown eyes. We're almost twins except for minor details many people wouldn't notice until you bring attention to and our voices. My voice is a little higher than hers, again no one will notice unless you bring attention to it. The only major thing is that I'm shorter than Katherine, just by one or two inches off. If you made us stand together you would see. Damon and Stefan make sure to check our looks to see who is who.
Then, Stefan walks over to the girl and I have to stop myself from pushing on the break and getting into an accident. Slowly I start breathing again until my heart continues to beat normally. If Stefan is here, most likely so is Damon. I have to check so, me being complicated; start looking on all of the streets and into every window. I know I could have just asked someone, like Forks everyone knows each other. I finally see him at the Mystic Grill at the bar just getting a drink. Now I have a plan; they're going to have me as a surprise. Hopefully they let me stay with them.
Since I know it will be awhile for them to get back to the house, I went straight there. I dropped off my car in a parking lot close by and ran the rest of the way. I couldn't park in the drive way or they would know someone was there and try and attack. It wouldn't help them though because I'm the strongest of the three of us.
Slowly I open the door and I hear nothing. Everything looks the same as it did one hundred years ago. There were some differences like how they have a modern stereo and coffee maker. Slowly I walk up the steps to Damon's bedroom. I walk to his closet and find a black button up shirt and throw it on the bed. Looking through his clothes I hit the back of the closet and a door swung out and inside was one of my dresses. I smile thinking of the first day I met them and I felt so loved for the months with them before Katherine came into the picture and ruined everything.
Pushing the door back in place I close the doors of the closet and run back to my small bag that I brought in with me. Inside is a pair of large sweatpants, a huge shirt five sizes too large, and a pair of black short shorts. I pulled off my clothes and shrugged on Damon's shirt, not even bothering to button it, on top of my orange cami. I made sure I still had my cameo on. If I didn't I would turn to ash and that wouldn't do any good. I also made sure that the rest of my jewelry was perfectly straight. Every piece of jewelry was so important to me that I would die, just so that I could have them with me.
When I finished, I skipped down the stairs to keep myself energized which is hard, with the smell of Damon surrounding me. With Damon being the one person who I could trust to do anything for me and him being the only one to get me to calm down or comfort me when I felt scared or weak. With Damon, there were no bad memories. I tried to leave before she compelled him and when I did check on him, which happened a lot, I would think about how one day he will come back to me and we won't let anybody through again. The last time we did ended with Katherine.
I hit the bottom of the steps; I go straight to the bar for a drink. As I finish, I set down the glass. My lipstick stained the glass and I put it somewhere near the front door so they can't miss it. Going back to the living room, I slowly make my way to the stereo and turn on the radio. The first song that came on was one of my favorites.
(We are young By: FUN feat. Janelle Monáe)
Give me a second I, Tonight Tonight Now I know that I'm not Tonight Tonight The moon is on my side (Nananananana) Tonight Tonight So if by the time the bar closes
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she's waiting for me just across the bar
My seat's been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you're trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I'm trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let's raise a toast
'Cause I found someone to carry me home
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
I have no reason to run (Nananananana)
So will someone come and carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
The angels never arrived (Nananananana)
But I can hear the choir (Nananananana)
So will someone come and carry me home (Nananananana)
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
We are young
So let's set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun
And you feel like falling down
I'll carry you home tonight
Throughout the song I was singing and dancing along. Halfway through the song I made it back to the bar and had gulped down the alcohol. All of the dancing made me tired so I ran over to the couch and lay down. My body fits perfectly with my head resting on the arm of the couch. With my feet stretched out, I can almost touch the other side, but not yet. I faced the door in a diagonal angle. The music was still blaring and I knew that one of the brothers was coming home very soon.
Hopefully they will be happy to see me. I don't know why they wouldn't be happy to see me, unless there was something I did that hurt them. I think the only thing I ever did to them is leave them and I explained it to both of the brothers that I was needed someplace and they needed it fast. It wasn't a lie; I became a nurse and helped soldiers in the war. In a different war I met Major Jasper Whitlock and I'm glad that he didn't know it was me when I met him as Edward's brother instead of a soldier. He could have forgotten me and had later been changed.
I know with the blaring music, that a human could hear slightly from outside, but a vampire could hear the music perfectly. I keep dancing, but I have to stop drinking or I'll get drunk and that would mess all my plans. I would probably end up outside screaming and laughing then tackle Stefan or Damon or I would go to the roof and start dancing. I made sure the music was loud enough to warn them someone was in their house, but not enough on who exactly was in their house. When they first get here, I'm guessing they'll think I'm Katherine and they'll try to capture me, but I'll just move out of the way and play their little game of cat and mouse. I'll talk when I don't want to play the game anymore because I know that they'll know the difference in our voices. I love games though, just not the ones were you cheat on people, I love having people try and chase me when I'm faster. Just thinking about it, I start having a flashback of when we were all together, so basically before Katherine.

I ran at a human pace for the brothers to have a chance to beat me. As I looked behind me I saw Damon a couple feet away with his arms out stretched and looked like he wanted to give me a hug. Another couple of feet behind him was Stefan panting and getting slower with every breath but he was still smiling.
"Come on, to win the prize you have to earn it. Run faster boys. Do you want to lose to a girl?" I asked them over my shoulder. They had no problem with me being faster because I was a vampire and they were just humans.
That was all it took to make Damon run just a little bit faster and he finally caught me. When he caught me from behind he picked me up slightly and I started to giggle. Damon always makes me feel happy or sometimes just happier than I already am.
"What's my prize now that I have earned it?" Damon asked. I didn't have any kind of certain prize thing to give to them. I sat there thinking and as I did Stefan caught up to us and Damon was smirking at me.
"I don't know. Is there something you would like Mr. Salvatore?" I questioned him. I know he could ask for anything but his answer pleasantly surprised with what he asked for.
"If I may ask, I would like a kiss," Damon said. He still had his smirk, but his cheeks had turned slightly red after asking.
I had always had a crush on Damon, but I never thought that he would feel the same way as I do. "You're wish shall be granted them Mr. Salvatore," I said and then I gave him a small, tender kiss on the lips. When I pulled away Damon was smiling, not smirking but smiling. Just the sight of him smiling like that made my smile become wider. Looking behind Damon I could see Stefan with a small grin on his face.
He coughed and Damon turned around to face him also, his smile still in place. Stefan started talking with a voice that showed he was uncomfortable, "So…um, I guess I better be getting back home soon. Oh Damon, Isabelle, don't be late for dinner. Father is looking forward to seeing Isabelle again. Just please don't be late" he begged and then he turned on his heel and walked back to his family's house.
(End Flashback)
IPOV
Coming out of my flashback I thought of why I hadn't kept watching them. Then I remembered: Stefan became a killer that had no care for human life and Damon thought he was in love with Katherine. I wouldn't have cared if she had chosen Stefan then the two of us could have been happy, but she had to take my Damon. I told her to stop and that she could have fun with Stefan as long as she stayed away from Damon but she didn't listen and I couldn't take the way he looked at her, the way he used to look at me.
The only thing that made me feel better was knowing that they were compelled to love her. I know that Damon loved me, hopefully he still care enough for me to let me stay in their house. Even if he doesn't love me I'll still be living there just in my old room instead of Damon's room. Damon made me feel safe and comfortable so why wouldn't I want to share a room with him?
I forgot that I had the stereo on as I now focused on the song just coming on. I knew this song well, it's one of my favorites but the brothers were coming home soon and I couldn't let them hear my voice until I wanted them to.

At the end of the song I heard two doors slam and I knew it had to be Stefan and the Katherine- look- alike. I waited patiently for them to come inside the house, but they never did. Then I heard another car pull in and a door slam shut. Stefan called Damon here to help him. This just makes it even better for me!
I listened very carefully on what they are talking about. "Okay, I'm here. What is it that you want to talk about so badly?" Damon asked, his voice still made my heart melt. If I didn't have as much self control as I did, I would've ran straight outside and into his arms. I knew I had to be stronger than that.
"What am I talking about? Are you serious? I'm talking about the music blaring inside of the house. We didn't leave it like that; someone had to have come into the house. They could be a threat to us or Elena. They could still be in there. We did leave the doors unlocked and if it's a vampire they could just walk in." Stefan said in his rant. He must really care about this Elena person. I should've thought he was going to be protective about her.
The Katherine- look- alike, or Elena, decided to speak up now, "Or it's worse. Maybe it's Katherine." Well then, this is going to be bad if they don't believe I'm me and not Katherine. If I have to, I will bring out the big guns. Hopefully they will know it's me when I speak.
"Guess we'll just to find out won't we?" asked Damon, I could hear the smirk in his voice. It made me smile just thinking about being together again. Then I heard three pairs of feet start walking toward the house.
Running into the living room I grabbed the closest thing at the bar and drained in from the glass I had poured for myself. My nerves were winning and I feel like I could run just about anywhere without stopping. I heard their footsteps become slower as they walked toward the door and then slowly the door opened. They act as if someone was going to attack them right when they went into the house. As soon as all three were in the house they shut the door. The heaviest steps were Damon's. I know that because Damon always was the heavier out of the two. I heard their footsteps and noticed that the order was Damon, Stefan, and Kath- Elena.
I heard Damon pick up something, most likely my glass I put out for them. He said, "It's a girl. And she has good taste in alcohol." I got my taste of alcohol from Damon so of course he would it was good. It was from his house.
Slowly they walked into the room. One by one and then I heard a gasp from Elena, "Katherine," Then Stefan was in front of Elena crouching with his fang s out. The veins under his eyes were showing very well so I knew that he was very angry at Katherine.
That was when I ran; I'm not leaving, just starting the chase to get me. As soon as I started running I ran to Damon and climbed on his shoulders. Elena looked afraid, Stefan looked really angry, and Damon was trying to throw me off of him. I quickly started running around the house with Damon chasing after me. I looked behind me and saw that he was further than I thought.
After a half hour I said, "Come on, to win the prize you have to earn it. Run faster Damon. Do you want to lose to a girl?" I smirked when Damon stopped and looked at me again.
Finally he pulled himself together and said, "Isabelle?"
