AN: This is not an update. The story I have been writing just wasn't flowing. I made a lot of changes. Especially her coming into town. I hope you will still like it.
I don't own anything except for Aeliana Mikaelson and her story. Everything else goes to Julie Plec.
It's been three days since my parents died and I couldn't stand the thought of living here anymore. It's just become too much. The whole thing with my parents brought upon another dream. I was standing among five other people. I couldn't see their faces. We were looking at a man that made us drink something and then just before I woke up from my sleep he stabbed me. I don't know what this dream meant or any other I had for the past two years. My parents thought this were some glimpses of memories but if that was true then I wouldn't be dreaming about someone killing me or me in another period time living the life to the fullest. Some I believed to be memories but most were just figments of my imagination.
You see two years before I lost all my memories. It has been my sixteenth birthday and I was driving to the party hosted in a bar but I never made it there. I had a car accident and after that I couldn't remember anything from before not even my parents. It's been pretty scary to wake up and see total strangers in your room crying over you. At first I was scared and a little bit skeptical but after a while I started to feel more comfortable around them. We slowly developed a good relationship. Even if I couldn't remember them, they were still my parents but now they are gone.
This morning I made an official decision about leaving this town and find a new home. I packed everything up and left. I had no idea where to go. The only thing I knew was that I needed to leave this town. Currently I have been driving for a while now. I pasted some towns on my way but didn't feel a need to stop. The watch on my phone stated 5 pm. I sighed. I wish my parents would still be alive. It's difficult to let go after a few days, I know that but I still wish I could make my pain go away. Just as I was thinking that I passed a road sign. It said 'Mystic Falls'. What an intriguing name. Since it's almost night I decided to stay. It's best I don't drive throughout the night and get some rest. Maybe I will even stay in this town.
I parked my car in the parking lot behind a restaurant that was called the Mystic Grill. I decided to go for a drink and meet some people before leaving in search of a motel, I doubt they have anything better than that in this small town. The Grill had a serious lack of visitors today. I went to the bar and sat down.
»Scotch, please« I ordered to the bartender.
I guess I looked really wrecked since he gave me a glass without questions asked. I sipped my remedy slowly while looking around the place. It's a nice cozy restaurant.
The bartender then came to me. »Hi. Are you new in town? «
He looked quite good. Short blond hair and blue eyes. Cute but not my type. I bet he's a really nice guy.
»Is it that obvious? « I smiled at him.
»Well it's a small town. It's hard to not know who's new to town. I'm Matt. « Yup I have been correct he is a nice guy. »I'm Aeliana. Nice to meet you Matt. «
»So Aeliana what brought you here? «
My smile faltered a bit. The question reminded me of my parents death. Fortunately Matt didn't notice the change. I would hate it for people to know about my real reason so soon. I don't need pity right now.
»I needed a change of scenery. What about you? Do you live here for a long time? «
I must say I was quite interested to know more about this town. Something just seemed familiar about this town. Maybe I was here before my accident. Who knows.
»I live here since I was born. Well most of the people here do. It's not that common for us to get new people around. « He smiled at me.
»I guess I see why. You know what. I might even consider staying. This town just screams mysterious and I love mysteries. «
It's true. I loved mysteries and this town was quite mysterious to me. I had to find out why I feel so familiar with. I feel like I was at home. That made me smile. Matt noticed that too.
»What brought that smile on your face? «
»The fact I already feel at home. « I winked at him.
He just shook his head at me. We talked for some more time but then I had to leave in search for a house. While I talked with Matt I decided to stay here and try to make a new life in a new town. He told me about a house for sell so now I was headed there.
It took me some time and a few direction pointers to get there but nevertheless I made it. The house looked quite cozy and it was just perfect for me. I called the realestatetor and made a deal to buy the house. Thank god I had money stashed up or I would be living on the street now. Well my parents' money helped too. The woman who was selling the house came a few minutes later. I asked before on the phone if we could make the exchange today since I wanted to move in immediately. Fortunately the woman agreed.
After I signed the contract and transferred the money to her bank account, I made my way inside. It was two stories high. It had a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Everything I need. After I settled in, I got into my PJ's and sat on the window shelf, that looked like a little couch, in my room with a diary in my hand. I wrote my day and hopped into bed. It was a bit earlier than usual but I knew that tomorrow I will have a hell of a day.
AU: I hope you liked it. Review it, love it, hate it. :)
