A/N: Before I confuse you with the actual first chapter, I guess I should tell you that this fanfiction will be alternating point of views from Matt, to April, to a third point of view. Also, this story won't be too canon, so bare with me. Basically it's a 'what would happen if Kyna wrote the vampire diaries'. Reviews and constructive criticisms are always welcomed.

Preface

Matt

There's a small town in Virginia. Nobody ever visits, since nobody's really heard of it. It's called Mystic Falls, and it's home, not only to me but to everyone who lives here. The founding families and the families in the community that help keep Mystic Falls in line. Being a small town, we all knew each other, and just about everything about each other. At least, that's what they liked to keep us thinking. We didn't really know much about each other, and that was proved when the Salvatores came into the picture.

I think, for centuries now, supernatural creatures have been walking among the humans. They were pretending to be human, pretending to be the people they were before their transformation. I don't really know; I'm not one of them. All I know is that I'm somehow roped into the trouble that being a supernatural creature caused. Only, I wasn't kept in the loop. Among my friends, I was the only human. Sure, there was Jeremy, but he was one of the Five. He's technically a median, but I don't know much about it. I'm trying to help him, though. I even moved in with him when Elena moved out.

But of course, with the existence of vampires, werewolves, witches and hunters, Mystic Falls had messes. One of which involved the death of several council members, those who hated vampires and were trying to rid the town of them. The group was lead by Pastor Young. They say he had a faulty gas line in the house. They also say that he was suicidal and decided to take his life along with the members of the council. I didn't know which was which though. His death and funeral brought back another human, though. His daughter. She didn't know anything about the supernatural world, because she was in boarding school. I knew her when she was younger, though. She used to look up to Elena so much. It was fascinating. But now she's back. Her name? It's April, April Young.

At first, I tried to keep her safe. I tried to be the border between the supernatural world and the real world. The world she believed she lived in. Sure, she's heard stories of vampires, witches, werewolves. What kid hasn't? But one day, Caroline let some things about werewolves slip, and news about Rebekah. Caroline tried compelling her, but April had Jeremy's vervain bracelet. She couldn't be compelled.

Now she know about vampires and werewolves.

She's an orphan. She's scared. She's angry. She feels betrayed for what we've done. Forced her to forget, hidden the truth from her, daggered the only friend she had. I seem to be the only person she doesn't hate. That's what everyone around her has told me, at least. I hope that doesn't change. With all the new things happening, I'm trying to keep her safe. I'm trying my best to help her understand, help her with anything she needs.

I'm Matt, by the way. Matt Donovan.
