Years have come and gone, lives floating in and out of existence, but I never though I would end up back here; Mystic Falls, how I loath you. Bennett just had to find that stupid book with my stupid card saying I owed her grandmother a favor. I was driving the Navigator Frank following me with the moving truck and Valencia in the back asleep.

Frank is a werewolf, big and buff with spikey blonde hair. Typical werewolf though isn't bound by the moon and can shift whenever he pleases. Valencia is a witch. I wouldn't have found her if it was for Grandma Bennett.

I remember the conversation with her with ease the word replaying in my mind….

'Hello?' Bonnie asked worriedly into the phone.

'Who is this and why are you calling?' Frank answered, like he usually did.

'Bonnie Bennett. I found a card in a book in my Grandma's attic saying a girl named Leah Lexington could help me.' Bonnie said with more confidence.

'One moment please.' Frank said astonished. I simply held out my hand for the phone.

'Ms. Bennett? I was wondering when I would hear from you.' I said nicely as I sat on my couch watching a muted TV.

'Leah. I need your help. My Grandma is dead and it says you owed her a favor.' Bonnie said though not very convincing.

'You read correctly my dear. How may I be of assistance?' I asked knowing the answer but already dreading the reply from the young witch.

'I need you to come to Mystic Falls. Klaus is after the dopplganger, my best friend…'

'Elena Gilbert.' I finished for her. 'I'll be there sometime before Monday.' I said then hung up.

So here I am on the road driving up to the mansion I had already owned in Mystic Falls.

"We are here. Finally." I said then hopped out of the Navigator. The house was still rather enchanting with the vines crawling up the house, vervain and wolfs bain hidden within bushes.

"What now?" Frank asked as Valencia put herself together from sleeping, more like attempting and failing terribly.

"Why don't we get something to eat?" I said with a smirk as we made our way towards a restaurant called the Grill.

As soon as we walked in, eyes were on us, typical in a new town, well more like a reunion with a more refurbished town. Frank and Valencia sat at the bar and I followed suit. The guy who was to my left was a vampire. Damon Salvatore to be correct, I felt bad for him, being related to Stefan Salvatore was a curse by the devil himself. Stefan, I hated him with a passion. He was the most evil son of a warthog I've ever laid eyes of ever heard of.

"Scotch." I said to the bartender my aviators staying firmly planted on my face to cover my unusual eye color.

"Why hello young lady, how-" Damon began speaking before I stopped him.

"Please don't finish that sentence." I said downing the scotch and motioning for another one.

"Yes I am new in town and no I do not want to be escorted around because I've lived here before. I am positive I can manage so please drink that strong drink and shut. Up." I said with a fake smile and took a gulp out of my next scotch. It burned intensely only making the taste that much sweeter.

"Feisty." He said with, what I assumed was, his 'signature' smirk. It only made me want to laugh then Valencia tapped my leg.

"She's here." Valen said just as Bonnie walked in with the doppelganger. I downed the rest of my scotch motioning them to stay and I got up walking over to her.

"Ms. Bennett and the doppelganger, Elena Gilbert I presume." I said with a slight smile.

"You actually came." Bonnie said incredulously her voice laced with pure shock.

"Bonnie who is she?" Elena asked in a whisper and rolled my eyes. Mortals make me laugh and I stuck out my hand.

"Leah Lexington. I'm here to help with a certain Klaus problem. I also brought my two most trusted friends Valencia Koresvacho and Frank Richards." I motioned to the bar and Tyler walked in and smiled as he saw Frank and me. I motioned to the bar and he nodded. We found him with Jules and she wasn't doing anything for him so I took him under my wing and Frank and I got him under control. We were still working on the free shifting spell.

"You know Tyler? Who are you?" She asked crossing her arms.

"Yes who are you Leah Lexington?" Damon said now beside Elena.

"Details later, Bonnie I have your grandma's Grimorie at my home we can pick it up later but for now why don't we sit down and have a little chat, shall we?" I said with a slight smile motioning for everyone to sit down at a large rectangular table.

Bonnie spilled everything and Elena and Damon were silently watching my every move; which is to be expected from people who have been backstabbed many times.

"Why don't you take your sunglasses off?" Elena interrupted and first I leaned over and slapped Damon upside the head not as hard as I could but enough to give him a raging headache and leaned back.

"What the hell was that for?" Damon hissed holding his head. I could see the enjoyment in Bonnie's face.

"That was for killing Ellijah you idiot. He was and still is my friend so obviously I'm going to be pissed." I sneered at him and turned to Elena though Frank spoke up first.

"You really should not ask that question." Frank said half glaring at her.

"Easy Frank, I'll just show her." I said the taking off my sunglasses and looked up revealing my blood red eyes. Damon and Elena gasped.

"That's why." Frank mumbled. Bonnie was slightly shocked but had seen pictures so it wasn't as shocking. Tyler was use to seeing my red eyes because I was always around him when Frank was training him.

"W-what are you?" Elena asked warily. I almost laughed at that. She was that scared of my eyes? Humans today so desensitized.

"An Ancient Vampire." I said with a cocky smirk. I really did like that title.
