Can't Hold Us Down
Chapter 1: My Sister Sam
Sam Forbes stood on the outside edge of Mystic Falls clutching a letter she had received from her mother. Tears ran down her cheeks, she hadn't understood everything that had occurred the last six years. She knew the town had been going downhill, but she didn't expect the information from her mother.
"Dear Samantha,
If you are reading this letter, that means I have passed away. I know these past few years have been difficult. Sending you to boarding school was for the best and your safety. There are three things you need to know about Mystic Falls. Firstly, it isn't the place you thought it was. Your sister and a few others are what we call vampires. I know this is shocking news but your sister has become such a great person. Secondly, in this envelop I have enclosed some vervain leaves and a bracelet for you to wear, which will help you to not to be compelled. I'm sorry I had you compelled; I did it for you safety. And thirdly, when you are ready to return to Mystic Falls, please make a relationship with your sister. She will be going through a tough time and I want you to help her, you always helped her smile when you were a baby.
Lastly, my baby girl I know you may not understand all of this right now. But I am very proud of you and there wasn't a second where I didn't think about you. I love you,
Mom."
Sam stood there is disbelief; the life she had been living in California had been a lie. Her mom was gone, which was still a mystery. She had slipped on the vervain bracelet, and Sam knew she needed to go to her childhood home and do some sleuthing to discover everything she had missed. She lifted her foot to step over the edge when she saw the sheriffs jeep rushing towards the edge. She stepped back. Sam pushed her blonde hair into a bun on the top of her head and pushed her sun glasses to cover her eyes, hoping the sheriff would not recognize her. Sam remembered growing up being called Caroline's little twin, she was basically a replication of her older sister.
The officer opened the door to his truck, Matt Donovan looked over at this familiar girl.
"Care, what are you doing?" He said walking over to her. Sam bit her lip, good to know she still looked like Caroline, she decided to try and play along because it was just easier that way.
"Just checking in at the border" Sam said.
"Oh okay, How's Stefan?" Matt smiled. There was something different about this Caroline and he was definitely going to get to the bottom of it.
"How should I know how Stefan is doing?" Sam muttered. Matt shook his head.
"It's over already?" Matt asked. "That's a quick relationship even for you" He added.
"Last I checked he was with Elena" Sam questioned.
"Ah-ha, I knew that you weren't Caroline."
"I never said I was you kind of just assumed?" Sam smiled, as she took off her sunglasses.
"Sam Forbes it's been a long time! What brings you to town?" Matt asked as he realized
"I heard about my Mom and wanted some answers." Sam stated
"I'm so sorry" Matt apologized.
"Well if you here, want to help me move these barriers so I can go to my house?" Sam asked.
"Why don't I call Caroline she would be better help?" Matt asked
"Sure, you do that" Sam smiled. She wasn't waiting around for Caroline, but needed to distract him. Sam waited until Matt had turned his back to her when she slipped passed the barrier. She carefully walked over to the edge of the trees and began her long walk into Mystic Falls. Sam still didn't understand the compulsion that could be done, but she knew that she needed to be ahead of her sister so that she would be able to figure out everything on her own.
Meanwhile, Caroline and Stefan lay carefree in her dorm room bed. After finally reversing the hertic Valerie's spell of making her skin vervain, they had been able to finally share a few intimate moments. Caroline rolled over as her phone rang; she shook her and buried it in Stefan's body.
"I don't want this to end" She muttered. Until Stefan's phone began to ring, which of course he had picked it up.
"Hello?" He asked
"Stefan, are you with Caroline?" Matt asked from the other side
"Yeah"
"Can I speak to her?" He asked with the sense of desperation in his voice.
"It's for you" Stefan said handing the phone to Caroline.
"Hello?" Caroline asked
"Car, Sam is in Mystic Falls" Matt said softly.
"That's impossible, I compelled her six years ago" Caroline stated
"I was just talking to her, here let me get her…. Sam?... Shit" Matt sounded worried
"What Matt?"
"She must have slipped past when I called you"
"So what you're telling me is that my sister is walking around Mystic Falls, when the hertics are controlling it?" Caroline asked
"Yes"
"Drive around and try to find her I will be there shortly" Caroline said hanging up the phone.
She jumped out of bed and began to get dressed. She then began frantically searching Bonnie's side of the room.
"Car, what are you looking for?" Stefan asked
"Jeremy's Gilbert ring, if Sam is in Mystic Falls, it could save her." Caroline stated still searching.
"I have Alaric's, I'll get it and meet you in town." Stefan smiled before quickly vanishing out of the dorm room.
Caroline got into her car and sped off towards Mystic Falls. She couldn't believe it after six long years she was finally going to see her little sister. When Caroline had turned, she told her mother it was for the best to send Sam to school in California. If anything ever happened to her little sister, it would be a lot worse than when she lost her mother. This was definitely going to be a interesting interaction between sisters, as Caroline thought Sam knew nothing about vampires but little to her knowledge she knew a lot more than anyone would have expected from the younger Forbes.
