A/N I own only the characters that I put into the story, none of the others are mine :L
All from Violet's POV unless I change it (Violet is on the side and front cover) :)
This was going to be good.
I haven't seen Caroline or Mystic Fall's for nearly my whole life and now I'm back.
Since moving away with my dad when I was two I've had no connection with my family whatsoever and when he left and died, I lived with family friends.
But I wanted to go home. I missed them... sort of...
I motioned my way around the house, looking at every detail of my Mom and my sister.
Thinking about my entrance I thought of going for old school mastermind kind. Swivel chair maybe? Do they have a swivel chair?
It was like 5 in the morning my mom was already at work and Caroline was out, when I came in she wasn't in so I'm curious as to why she's up so early. School doesn't start until like 8.
The only reason I came back was because I wanted to see them again. My Dad had died nearly a year ago now and since then I had been staying with family friends, but now, I wanted to come back.
Ah, my eye caught an office chair that spun around. Perfect.
I plopped my petite figure onto the chair and smiled to myself. I wonder If they'll know its me. Well it has been 14 years since they'd seen me.
I remember my dad saying something about sending pictures of me to them before he died every so often but I have changed since the last one he sent.
Like the fact my once shoulder length bright blond hair was now a mix of pastel colours and came to my waist. Yea I was a bit expressive of my personality.
I don't really care what most people think about me so I do what I want most of the time.
I was pretty short and thin so I was seen as the usual teenage girl really.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a key sliding into the front door. My time to shine.
I silently tucked my legs onto the chair so I couldn't be seen from behind and waited for someone to come in.
"Breaking into the sheriff's house. Very clever" I heard a woman's voice shout out, obviously knowing I was there, so I spun the chair around on the chair and was met with a girl with blond hair in lose curls that hung just over her shoulders.
"Wha... V?" She spoke out, making me smile and cock my head to the side
"Hey Care" I replied, I stood up off the chair, letting my baggy top flow around my waist and cover over my shorts
"What are you doing here?" Caroline gasped
"I'm back in town, I'm guessing I still live here considering my room's still there" I smiled, thinking about how much she was freaking out inside right now
"So you're here to stay?" She questioned, stepping forward. I nodded my head and was immediately enveloped in a bone crushing hug. Ah, there's the Caroline I remember.
"So why were you up so early?" I asked as she let me go
"Oh I had to go to the grill and sort something out before school"
Ah, the grill. I had so many fond memories of that place when I was a kid
"Ah right, well I'm going out" I said, going to grab my back from off the floor. She raised her eyebrows at me and folded her arms
"You're not going to school?"
"Well I'm bored of school. I was excelled in my old school so I don't need to go anymore" I gave a convincing smile, I really didn't want her dragging me school when I've just moved back.
"Right, well, talk. I wanna know what's been going on in your life. And what's with the..." She waved her hand around her hair, clearly asking about mine
"I got bored of one colour, what's the point in it" I shrugged my shoulders and made my way over to the couch. I felt really tired, I'd been travelling all night so I was deprived of sleep
"Sooooo, tell me" She smiled, sitting on the couch next to me
"Where would you like to start?"
I had conversed with Caroline until she had to leave for school. She said she'd spread the word around about me coming back so I didn't have to do it for myself which I was thankful for.
I was so tired, I was stumbling to my room after she left.
I had about 3 hours of sleep until I was awakened by a knock at the door. I hadn't changed out of my clothes from before so I didn't need to get changed or anything.
I opened the door to find a man in his mid twenties with very dark hair and bright blue eyes standing there. Wow, he was so good looking.
He seemed surprised to see me as I was a new face but he smirked quickly.
"Well hello there, I was wondering if Sheriff Forbes was here? You wouldnt happen to know where she would be..." He dragged out his words at the end as if asking what my name was
"Violet. And she's at work..." I copied his words, he held his hand out to me to which I shook
"Damon Salvatore. Violet did you say? The sheriffs other daughter?" Damon questioned
"Yes, I've just moved back from a family friend. Thought I could pay my dear mother and sister a visit" I smiled kindly at him. He didn't seem like a horrible person or anything bad
"Lovely thought. Well, when you next see your mother, please tell her I called" He gave a very attractive smile before walking away as I closed the door.
If all people around here are attractive as that then I should have moved here ages ago.
I decided to use my spare time to familiarize myself with the little town. Now that I wasn't as tired as I was before.
I grabbed my keys and beanie and hesitated as I looked over to my camera bag. Do I need my camera...
Yes.
I swiped the bag and hung the strap on my shoulder before promptly leaving the house with a slam of the door.
Now I may not have been here for a while, but I knew my way around the town. I was currently in the town square, soaking up the sunshine and gentle summer breeze.
I took the good weather as an opportunity for pictures which is another good reason why I brought my camera.
I found a good spot that wasn't too dark or too bright and plopped myself on the floor.
I scanned my surroundings and held my camera up to my eye, quickly snapping a picture of a bird that had some twigs in its mouth.
I pivoted my body in the opposite direction with the camera still up to my face but I was only met by black.
I furrowed my eyebrows and pulled the camera away from my face, only to see a pair of legs standing right in front of me.
I looked up but squinted as the sun shone around the persons face so I couldn't see who it was.
"Can I help you?" I asked as the person made no attempt to move away so they obviously wanted something.
"Just curious in what you're doing love"
I could tell from the voice that it was a British man but I still couldn't make out his face. I was hoping that he was attractive because I was sucker for pretty British boys.
"I'm uh, taking photos" I answered with slight mocking in my voice, almost a 'duh' tone. The man decided to crouch down until he was at my level and I was happy that my hope was met.
He was extremely attractive with blue eyes and sandy brown hair that curled slightly at the ends.
"I can see that, but why here? There are so many other beautiful places to take photo's other then Mystic Fall's town square" He said with a chuckle
"I have other photo's of other places. I've only just moved back here" I replied "Plus the weathers fairly decent"
"I thought you were new. The names Niklaus Mikaelson but, you can call me Klaus" The man held his hand out to me which I hesitantly shook. Considering I had no idea who this man was, I was wary.
I mean, I was comfortable with Damon because he was attractive and knew my mom. But 'you can call me Klaus' was attractive and a stranger.
Klaus had stood up again now and his hand was held out for me to get up. I didn't take his hand as I got up by myself and packed my camera into its bag.
"Do I get to know your name?"
"No you don't. Good bye Klaus" I smiled sweetly at him before turning my back and walking away. Oh yea, feel my sass.
Instead of going home I ventured towards the grill. It was pretty much empty so it was quick service.
"Lemonade please" I smiled to the bartender who nodded his head. He handed me my drink to which I gave him the right amount of money.
I found myself a quiet corner of the grill and plopped myself down into the booth, this was going to be my own personal bubble
Thankfully, the grill had open wifi so I wouldn't be completely bored there. I scrolled through my tumblr and reblogged a few posts.
A few posts turned into a quite a few posts and I didn't realize how long I had been sitting there on my phone and occasionally sipping my drink.
Someone had joined me on the other side of my booth and I looked up to see that Caroline had graced me with her presence.
"Hey sis, how long have you been here?" She asked cheerfully
"Uh, a few hours give or take" I replied to which she laughed. She was about to say something but was cut off by someone calling her name.
"Caroline!" A brunette boy shouted as he came over to the booth. So much for my personal bubble...
She smiled all lovey-dovey to the boy and I suspected that some romance could be involved and my suspicions were correct as he bent down and kissed her on the lips.
I grimaced at my sister as they held the kiss for a particularly long time. In the end I had to clear my throat to get their attention.
"As sickening as that was, I need another drink" I mumbled and left the table, bringing all my stuff with me.
I sat up at the bar and ordered another drink but this time I needed something with more of a kick.
"Vodka and coke please"
"I'm gonna need to see some ID please" The bartender replied with a smirk. Oh come on. I was only one year younger than Caroline, surely I could get drink.
"Please, just one. I wont tell anyone" I winked suggestively but the bartender just laughed and shook his head.
"Sorry, no ID, no drink"
"Oh sorry, its not for me. Its for my sister, she's over there" I pointed over to where Caroline and the boy were sitting
"You're Caroline's sister?"
"Uh.. ya" I replied, hoping he'd believe me so I could get a drink "She really needs a drink"
"I do not" Caroline magically appeared next to me to which I nearly fell off my stool
"Jesus mother of Mar- where the hell did you come from?"
"I just came over here. Just a lemonade Matt" She ordered and 'Matt' walked away to make the drink.
"I hate you" I muttered
"I'm your sister" She interjected "We're meant to love each other. Since when did you drink alcohol?"
"Since I could drink. I just need it to relieve stress" I sighed, but before she ask what I meant I cut her off "So who was lover boy over there?"
"Oh that's Tyler. We're pretty serious" She gave me a girly grin to which I replied with gagging noises.
"Shut up" She hit me lightly on the arm "You must've had someone you loved before right?"
"Oh no, we are not going into that conversation" Luckily Matt had returned with my drink so I excused myself and left Caroline to pay. Lets just say I had an interesting love life...
The boothe that I sat in before was free so I sat there again, building up my personal bubble once again.
I could see that Caroline had given up talking to me as she was now talking to a dark skinned girl. The occasionally glanced over to me but I ignored them.
I loaded up a book on my phone and sat reading it for about 20 minutes until my belly starting rumbling.
One thing that made my stomach stop was the fact I remembered we had cookie dough ice cream at home. Literally, best thing ever.
Without a second thought I finished off my drink and gathered my stuff. I was walking through the grill and looking to make sure everything was in my camera bag when I bumped into someone.
"I'm so so- Kol?" I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
He looked just as shocked as me but hid his surprise with a casual smirk. Classic Kol.
"Violet, you aren't following me are you?"
"No. I live here actually, you sure you're not following me?" I replied with a certain spitefulness in my voice.
Our talking seemed to draw attention and Caroline joined us
"Leave off Kol" She warned, she didn't know that we actually knew each other
"Easy darling. Violet and I were just having a chat. It's been a while hasn't it love?" He replied with a cocky grin.
He was exactly the same as before. Cocky, arrogant, annoying and of course, beautiful.
"Wait, you two know each other?" Caroline asked incredulously
"Unfortunately" I muttered "Excuse me, I have ice cream waiting for me"
I didn't even wait for a reply as I brushed past him and exited the grill. I couldn't believe Kol was here. Like seriously!? Of all the places he could be and he was here.
I let out a growl of frustration as I stalked home, muttering violently under my breath.
It wasn't that dark so it wasn't bad walking but walking home with an empty stomach isn't one of my preferred things.
I didn't actually realize how far away I lived from the grill and by the time I got home was pretty tired.
The sleep deprivation was slowly catching up to me from when I travelled so the ice cream would have to wait.
Before I even took a step to go to my bedroom the front door slammed and Caroline appeared. Had she walked all the way home to interrogate me about Kol?
"Spill" She ordered, grabbing my arm and forcing me down onto the couch. I sighed out loud and flopped my head backwards.
"Do I have to?" I asked tiredly "Cant it wait until the morning?"
"No. Now"
"Uh fine" I groaned
"Basically last year, I finishing my last years of school and I met Kol at a party some random person threw. We got talking and stuff and then we.. dated and stuff then he left because he was a dick"
I spoke quickly so Caroline couldn't cut me off through my speech.
"Seriously? Kol? Of all the people to like and Kol is the one?" She physically shivered "God he makes my skin crawl"
I furrowed my brow at her hatred for him. He hadn't moved her long had he? Why does she hate him so much?
"What did he do to you?" I questioned and her look was instantly covered up
"I just uh.. know his reputation with women. Be careful with him V" She warned. Ha, trust me, I'm never going near him again.
"Now on that awkward note... I'm going to bed because I'm tired" I stood up and stretched "Goodnight Caroline"
She said good night back as I walked to my bedroom. I couldn't be bothered to get changed into pyjamas so I just stripped my top and shorts off and snuggled into my bed.
I don't think you understand the feeling of just wearing underwear to bed.
It is a-ma-zing. Not even lying.
Plus it was nice and cool so I wasn't too hot. Hopefully I could do some more stuff tomorrow, I wanted to go for a trip in the woods but my Mom warned me not to go there.
So maybe the shops? Or some more photography? I don't know, I'll probably decide tomorrow. Hopefully on my day out tomorrow I will not bump into a certain British man
