A/N: This is my first story I ever thought of. I posted it but took it down after a few weeks. I'm going to write it again and see what happens. Review if y'all want. I'm going to start off when they are human and then when Caleb gets changed. It will be a vampire diaries cross over since I love vampire diaries and I can see Caleb as a different breed of vampire then his older brother.

1861: Houston, Texas

Caleb Whitlock

"Caleb, little brother where are you?"

I hear my oldest brother calling for me but I don't go to see what he wants. I was in too much pain to be moving around. Our father decided to beat me after I got home from school. It was the 1800's so beating your child was very common. I don't complain because I know if I do he will make sure I don't walk for a month. Our father isn't a father to us. He never pays a bit of attention to us and blames the death of our mother on me. She died after giving birth to me. According to him I murder her.

I was in my room when Jasper walks in. He probably heard what happened and was here to comfort me. Every time our father beats one of us or together we comfort each other and keep saying to ourselves we will get out of this situation very soon.

"Caleb, are you in any amount of pain?"

"No Jazz ah fine."

I didn't really like my accent. It was always stronger then Jasper's. He knows how to pounce words but when it comes to me I can't unless my accent kicks in.

"We need to talk."

I look up at him. Judging by his face it wasn't good either. He puts both of his hands on my shoulders and knees down to me, closing his eyes for a second and looking back up at me with a single tear coming down his cheek.

"I' am going to be leaving tonight to fight for our country."

My eyes get wide. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Jasper is leaving? This can't be happening, not now when I need him the most.

"Why?"

"I want to do this Caleb. I do not want to leave you."

"Then why are ya?"

"You are too young to understand Caleb."

I'm too young? I'm 14 years old and he is 17. We are not far from age.

"Ah am 14 years of age Jasper."

"I know how old you are Caleb."

"Do not leave me brother. Please do not leave me."

"I do not want to Caleb but I have to. I have to go now."

He is leaving now? I see him grab his bag off of the ground and I run over to him, crying. I wasn't going to lose my brother. I couldn't lose him. He can die but he can also live but there is no promise he can make saying he will come back because he can die.

"No, Jazz do not leave me, please I'm begging you."

Jasper lends in and puts his arms around me, hugging me and I hug him back. I didn't want to let go. I didn't want to let my older brother go. He speaks to me while he is still holding me.

"I love you little brother. I will try my hardest to come back home to see you again. You have to be the strong boy that I know you can be. I will miss you Caleb. I' am sorry Caleb."

"Ah love you too Jazz."

He gives me one last kiss on the head and hugs me tight. He lets go of me and walks out the door.

2002:

That memory was the last time I saw my brother alive. Just three months later my father and I found out he died in battle. I was devastated over his death. I changed and kept hoping for death so I can be with my brother but death never came. When I was 17yrs old I was changed into a vampire, not the type that you're thinking but a different type. I appear human to everyone but once my face changes you know I'm a vampire. I can still eat like a human can, sleep and still have my blue eyes. I have to have blood in my system to function and I have every trait a vampire does. I don't need to eat or sleep as much as regular humans through. I can go days without eating and be just fine.

I've been alive for over 100 years. I've lived in so many different places but one place I always go back to, Mystic Falls, Virginia. I lived there when I was first changed and now I'm friends with Damon and Stefan Salvatore. We were always friends, more like brothers because we were changed by the same vampire, Katherine Pierce. She tricked us all but I have to say I was smarter than the both of them. Before she changed me I realized she was just using me. When she changed me that's when my life became different.

I went through difficult times when I was a human and now as a vampire. When Jasper died all the blame was put on me from my father. He hated my guts. I basically had to raise myself before I was changed. I have nightmares due to the terrible abuse I suffered from him. My life isn't anything people will believe. You look at me and see a smiling 17 year boy but deep inside I'm hiding all the pain and suffering I had to endure throughout my life. I live with Stefan at their boarding house along with his nephew Zach.

I decided last night I was going to move to this small town in Washington. I've been in Mystic Falls for three years and it was time for me to move on and be on my own again. The only reason Stefan made me stay here is because he found out about me self-harming myself. Yes I did cut myself but since I'm a vampire they heal completely. I felt to make myself feel better I had to do it but Stefan found out when he smelt the blood one night and made me talk to him. Since then he has made me stay here until he knew I was better and not doing it anymore and I haven't done it since that day. It will be hard to convince him for me to leave but I wanted to. I needed to.

I get myself dress for the day and I go downstairs where Stefan was getting ready for school. I don't go to school. I was on human blood for a lot of years and I still need to control my thirst so school was a big no for me.

"Going for another day of high school, huh Stef?"

He looks up from his back bag and chuckles at me. He slings the bag on his shoulder and walks past me to get his cell phone.

"You will be fine here with Zach right?"

I roll my eyes at him. He is too much like Jasper, to over protected and to annoying.

"I've been around him enough. I will be fine. Do you have time before you leave?"

He looks at his watch and nods his head at me.

"I need to ask you something and before you say no just hear me out."

"Ok Caleb what is it?"

"I want to leave and go live in a new place. I want to go to Washington, to this small town that is cloudy and rainy all the time so I will be fine there."

I can't go out in the sunlight without a ring that a witch made for me. I never take it off even when I shower because I don't want to die because the sun comes through the window or something.

"I know your better Caleb with the cutting but I don't know how your self-control is. Your fines around Zach but you are not around humans much."

"And whose fault is that?"

"I'm just helping you Caleb."

"Helping me Stefan really? You are keeping me locked up in this house. The only time I go out is to hunt and that is with you. I need to go there. I just feel like I need to. I know I was stupid when I did that to myself but I'm better now, even you said that I was. You have to let me go off on my own. It's not like I won't come back."

After I'm finished talking Stefan is just standing there, thinking. After what felt like an hour of silence he finally says something.

"You can go. I understand you have the need to do this but I want you to stay in contact with me. Call me and text me. If anything happens I want you to let me know ok Caleb?"

"Yes Mr. Overprotectiveness I understand."

Stefan chuckles and he tells me a few more things and leaves to go to school. I was going to leave today since I wasn't driving I was running so it will take me until tomorrow to get there. I go upstairs to my room and pack a few things and go back downstairs looking for Zach to say bye to him.

I find him in the kitchen making some coffee.

"Do you want some?"

He asks me while he turns around with a cup in his hand.

"No I'm good but thanks."

"I hear you're leaving us to live in Washington."

"Yeah it's true. I need to do this. I can't live here forever."

"I know that Caleb. I hope you are safe over there."

"Zach I'll be fine. I have to leave now but I promise I'll stay in contact."

Zach says bye to me and I grab my bag off of the ground. I go out the door, without looking back. I was started a new life for myself. Even though I will be alone I will make it for myself. This is what I need. Everyone knows I can't just stay here for years on years I have to go to another place and try it out.
