POV of Kate.
Chapter 1: The Lost Sister
As the days pass by they seem endless. So far my sister's been missing for 34 days. The local police in my town have pretty much given up hope. Not me. I will find her if it's the last thing I do. The last phone call I got from her, she was in a town called Mystic Falls which is about a two-day trip from Minnesota. I decided that if the police are not going to do anything I will. I packed my bags, hugged my parents, and set off for the town of Mystic Falls. I just hope someone there will be able to help me. She can't be gone.
Driving in my 05 Chevy Malibu I decided to only take quick breaks along the road. I filled my self with Red Bulls and 5 Hour Energy drinks to keep me awake as I drive. I decide to pop in Ed Sheeran to pass the time and keep my mind off Kristen.
Kristen and I are only a year apart. She decided to take a road trip by herself across the country to try to figure out what she wants to do with her life. Before she left I made her promise to call me every night, which she did, then the phone calls suddenly stopped. After not hearing from her in 24 hours, my parents decided to file a missing persons report. They collaborated with the Mystic Falls police but they came up with nothing. They gave up, but I promised my parents I wouldn't. I have to find her.
The two-day drive to Mystic Falls went by rather quickly. I rolled into town early in the evening, exhausted, and begging for a shower. There was a small motel on the edge of town, that seems nice enough. Once in my room I went straight to the shower. When I got done I got ready for bed, not before looking in the mirror in the bathroom. I had dark circles under my eyes, and my blonde hair was beginning to darken due to the stress of finding Kristen.
Motel room was very small but it will do. I laid out all the information on what I had so far on everything Kristen had done up until she disappeared. Her credit card bill showed she ate a small diner in town called The Grill, so that will be my first stop tomorrow. I also have tons of missing persons flyers to pass out and put around town. Soon my eyelids become heavy and I crawl into bed. Maybe I will be able to get some sleep tonight. I look at some promotional brochures sitting on night stand. One was for the founders society welcoming you to the city and the other brochure was for a historical tour of the town. Each flyer had the same group of people on it, 5 young attractive men and 5 beautiful women. 'That's wierd' I thought. When I feel asleep I didn't know that those people were about to change my life forever.
