Before I get started with this story I want to say that I the only thing I own is my OC and her story. Rewrites will probably happen as I can develop a monumental idea half way through and want to try to build on that in the beginning of the story. Some things discussed in here may be canon and also may steer off the usual story of TVD and TO. Also, I'm trying to get back into writing, because this is one of my greatest passions. So I hope you enjoy my take on TVD with my OC, Alessia. I write 1st POV but sometimes I do deviate in order to further the story. Plus reviews and criticism is always appreciated because then I can perfect my own craft by indulging your needs within, of course, my own ability. With this said, I hope you enjoy!
"You need to find her. Keep her safe. Keep her away from my brother and take her to me when the time is right." echoed in Nathaniel's ears once more as it has been for the past century, as he carried a small child in his arms. After so many years, he couldn't believe he had finally found her almost in the clutches of that maniac's brother. Luckily, Nate had made it just in time to rescue her.
He placed her inside of his black impala then hopped into the front seat. Starting the car, he swiftly stepped onto the gas and drove away from the flames now illuminating in his rear view mirror.

"Alessia!" a familiar voice yelled from outside the newly owned house. Rolling my eyes from behind my glasses, I poked my head from out the window and smiled at its owner.
"Yes Nate!" I replied and he gave me an expectant look.
"You know the boxes are not going to unpack themselves." He mentions and I smile widely.
"Yes I know that's because you are going to be unpacking them." i teased, causing Nate to shake his head at me. "I'll be right out."
Quickly I jog out of my room and run down the stairs while bypassing the moving guys with ease. Outside, Nate was waiting for me with crossed arms, trying to pose his most rehearsed dad look.
"Sorry am I still going to have to call you my dad?" I asked with a raised brow. He smiled at me as he rolled his eyes.
"You think you're so funny." He chuckled.
"Well you're laugh kind of gives it away." He laughs, shaking his head.
"I'm pretty sure we both know I look a look just a bit too young for me to be your dad." He said as I walked to the truck.
"Well it was the reason why we moved." I point out as I scoop up a box for my room.
"And you're still okay about it?" He asked and I shrugged.
"Well…" I trail with furrowed brows, and Nate suddenly turns serious.
"What Allie, you know you can talk to me?" He spoke softly and I sighed.
"It's just I never got to exact my revenge on Stacy when she stuck gum in my hair in the fifth grade." I answered and he gave me a deadpan look.
"You know no one has a book on how to deal with teenagers like you." He narrowed his eyes as I begin to smirk and walk back to the house.
"Please I'm too unique for anyone of your 37 books to understand." I shout back at him.
"28." He corrects, then looks around to see if anyone heard that.
"Well I have all 28 of them right here in this box. They feel like textbooks." Mila spoke up coming out of the moving truck.
"Yeah well…" His sentence died as he tried to look for a reason. Mila laughed at him, and kissed his cheek affectionately as she passed him.

After probably the entire day worth of unpacking I was finally settled down on my bed and just scrolling through my tumblr feed on my laptop. I had opened my windows and put on some music. Who needs friends when you have the internet, but I only say that because I've been gone a week and no one from my old town had texted me, not even my old EMS squad. To be honest though, I was always the- what's the least insulting way to say weird- odd one out. I mean Nate made better friends than I did and he's just awkward. Well I guess I know where I picked that up from. It does not help that I am a full blown geek, and I could quote every Supernatural and Doctor Who episode ever.
Nate the other day had tried to convince me to go out to town to make new friends but I think I'll just wait for the new school year. I was going to be a junior this year in a small town where everyone probably knew each other from birth. It was going to be so easy to make friends.
When Nate asked me to pick a new town to move to, I had no idea why I would choose one so out of the way of anything fun. LIke I could have chosen New York City and he would have been fine with it or Seattle. But no, I had to be a dumb ass and find the most colonial america time town ever. Everyone here is friendly and honestly it's a little horrifying. Why couldn't I just pick somewhere else to live in New Jersey.
"Allie can you please come down here!" Nate yelled from the downstairs. Shutting my laptop with a sigh, I jump off my bed and slowly make my way out the door and downstairs. Bouncing down the steps I see a blonde at the front door holding a small bin. "Ah Allie. I'd like you to meet our new neighbor-"
"Caroline." The blonde interrupted with a bright smile.
"Yes, Caroline." Nate finished his own sentence awkwardly. "Caroline this is my dau-"
"His little sister!" Mila interrupted coming into the foyer from behind us. "She's Alessia." The blonde barely noticed the cover up as she continued to babble. "I'm Mila, his girlfriend." Caroline nodded then looked towards me.
"Well Alessia I was informed by the office at school that I was going to show you around to your classes this fall. But since that is months away and you are already here I decided that I would love showing you around town for now. You know to get to know the new neighbors." I opened my mouth to tell her there was no need, but of course Nate had to open his mouth.
"Yeah that would be great for Allie." Nate said and irritation began to bubble in my gut. Caroline beamed then passed me the bin she had been holding in her hands.
"Fantastic! Well I left my number on top of the cookies. It's going to be great getting to know you Alessia." She said and I forced a smile onto my face then nodded.
"Of course Caroline." Mila said for everyone else in the room.
"I'm going to get going before my mom comes home. She's the sheriff, just in case you're wondering and I also left her number." She continued as she walked out of the house. "Oh and welcome to Mystic Falls." Finally facing away, Nate closed the door behind her and I glared at him.
"Yeah that would be great for Allie." I mocked him and he sighed. "You know I don't do well with socializing."
"Allie, she's just trying to be nice." Mila mentioned, for Nate, and I rolled my eyes before strolling back to the stairs.
"I think her enthusiasm is going to suffocate me before she shows me anywhere." I said as I climbed the stairs bringing the box of what looked like cookies with me.
"Or the diabetes from those cookies." Nate replied.

With the next coming full moon today, there seemed to be a tension in the air that smelt of an unknown future. Like you were waiting in suspense while watching a movie because the murder suddenly disappeared without true reason and they could jump out at any moment.
It's only been a couple days and Caroline had been coming over every once in a while to show me around town. From my understanding, Caroline was the queen bee in school so perhaps it would not be too bad to be friends with her. She had told me that day before that there was going to be a party over at the falls that all the students of Mystic High have to celebrate the end of another school year. Caroline thought it would be the perfect opportunity to introduce me to the right people and that party was tonight.
"Okay so we are going to be getting ready for the party at my house and my two best friends are going to be there as well." Caroline was informing me as we walk over to house, across the street from mine. I was holding some outfit pieces she had approved of, so basically all the ones that didn't scream 'girl next door' vibes.
"Great." I respond with the enthusiasm I had left. Glancing back, Nate was in the window giving me two big thumbs up causing me to roll my eyes. Going up to Caroline's room there was a scent floating in the air that I was semi familiar with but I couldn't put my finger on it.
"Okay they said they would be here any minute." She announced as she began to look in her own closet. Her room was decorated very martha stewart like which was expected because of her personality type and pictures lined the walls in some places. Her and these two other people, one with light skin and the other with dark.
As a nervous tick, I began to play with my necklace. It's something that I have had since before Nate took me in. From what I'm told about my original family, it had been my mother's necklace. It was an opalite orb, the size of a water bottle cap, that was wrapped in brass wire on the top and then was extended into a long necklace. Nate had actually actually gotten me something as well, a golden bracelet when I was very young. He told me to never take it off and I never have. He had explained before that he believed he needed to give me a piece of memorabilia. I didn't have the heart to decline.
"Caroline!" Someone yelled from the downstairs, which caused her to beam.
"Up here Bon." Caroline replied and within a couple seconds the dark figure that decorated the girl's photographs was right here in front of me. "Bonnie this is the new girl, Alessia."
"You can call me Allie." I told her and Bonnie smiled.
"It's nice to meet you."
Bonnie had told us that Elena was hanging with her boyfriend right now and that had caused Caroline to roll her eyes. I sense an underlying irritation with this Elena. For the majority of the time with us at her house, Caroline had spent that time telling Bonnie every single detail of myself that I had told her within the days we knew each other.
)*(
"So you live with your brother and his girlfriend? How come?" Bonnie asked as we stood around a roaring bonfire. Caroline had left us a little earlier to talk to whatever guy, I think his name was Tyler or something.
"My parents died when I was really young so my brother was the only person who could take care of me." I told her and her face suddenly dropped.
"Oh my god. I'm sorry." Bonnie said and I shook my head.
"It's fine. It doesn't really bother me. I hardly remember their faces." I shrugged off and she put a hand on my shoulder.
"If it's any consolation. My mom left and my dad kinda followed her." She mentioned and my brows raised in surprise.
"Wow that got depressing real quick." I said and she nodded. "Drink?"
"Please." She replied and we laughed. As we walked to the coolers, Bonnie suddenly waved her hand at someone. Looking in her direction, I see a girl with little enthusiasm waving back. This girl had long straight dark hair and she next to a blond boy. "Elena!". For some reason my heart rate began to pick up because there was a slight familiarity to this girl. Like she looks like someone I knew from a very long time ago. The girl said something to the boy beside her and then ran up to where we both were.
"Elena. This is Allie." Bonnie introduced us and her eyes brightened.
"Oh you're the new girl." Elena figured and I nodded.
"Pretty much." I told her and she smiled warmly at me.
"Do you guys mind if I tag along with you? Matt is being a little suffocating right now." Elena mentions and I laughed.
"Anything to help a fellow girl out." I smile.
)*(
"Why would you choose to live here?" Elena asked as we stood on the bridge next to the falls. Bonnie had gone to get us some drinks as me and her just kind of talked.
"You make it sound like I made a bad decision or something." I hinted and she shrugged.
"No it's just-" She took a breath. "Wouldn't you want to live somewhere else where you'll feel free? Don't get me wrong Mystic Falls is an amazing town, but there is so much life out there." Her eyes looked out at the falls and I just focused on her.
"Elena." I started and she looked at me. "We're young, and we have so much life ahead of us. Mystic Falls isn't going to where you start and end your life. This place just so happens to be the beginning of your adventure and this is where mine is happening at the moment."
"You don't plan to stay here?" She wondered and I laughed.
"Hell no." I denied then looked up at the sky. "Like you said, there is an entire world out there and I don't plan on staying still for much longer. I want to have an adventure. I want to live and be-"
"Free." Elena finished and I nodded.
"Exactly." I paused for a moment. "Who's trying to make you stay?"
"What?" Elena furrowed her brows.
"You're passionate about this which means you've been trying to deal with this problem." I mention and she sighs.
"My boyfriend Matt. He wants to stay here and live out the rest of our lives. But I want more." Elena explained wringing her hands and I put a hand over her's.
"Then tell him." I implore her and her eyes widened.
"I couldn't." She told me and I rolled my eyes.
"But you need to, he said his piece, now you get to say your's. It's only fair." I point out and she nodded.
"You're right."
"Damn straight." Elena smiled for just a moment before frowning once more. "What?"
"Your nose is bleeding." Elena said and immediately my hand goes from her hands to my nose. I pull it back surprised that there was actually blood there. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah this is normal," This is not normal. "I'm just going to get my bag from Caroline's car. I have tissues in there. Tell Bonnie I'll be right back." Quickly, I start almost running to the car and I pass caroline on the way.
"Allie!" Caroline shouted but her voiced began to fade as I continued to walk quickly. Once I reach her car, I almost pry open the door and reach for my bag. Shuffling through it, I find some tissues and begin to press them against my nose.
"What's the use of knowing first aid if you can't apply it yourself, right?" I mumbled to myself as I brought my head forward.
"Alessia?" I heard Elena from behind me.
"Elena I told you-" I stopped when I saw that no one was there.
Alessia…" I heard a male voice say, causing my head to whip around. My heart rate began to climb and a cold feeling washed over me.
"Alessia." Elena said again, but the problem is… I'm not exactly seeing an Elena here.
"What the-" I stopped myself as the voices began to come at a faster rate and louder and closer. I put my hands on my ears and begin to see a white light envelope the area.
"Alessia run!" The voices say together and I do exactly as I'm told. A hand moves above my eyes as I run because the light was becoming too bright. How was no one else freaking out about this? There was suddenly ringing that made me stop dead in my tracks. I screamed as it became louder. Dropping to my knees, I close my eyes trying to shut it light from behind my eye lids dims and slowly I begin to feel like I'm falling.
Nothing

My eyes shot open looking up. What the hell? Why am I lying on the ground? Shooting straight up I realize that I'm wearing some weird white night gown. Okay this is a little freaky, why am I wearing this? Looking around I realize that the party was in the distance. Why am I on the road?
"Hey are you alright?" My head jerks around and sees none other than Elena. "Alessia? What happened to you? You were gone for awhile." She kneels down to me and I look at her with wide eyes. "Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. I-I think I might be a little lost." I breath still staring at her, in disbelief and what just happened to me. She looks down at me with soft eyes then extends a hand to me.
"Here let me help you up." She offers. I warily take her hand and pull myself up. "My mom and dad are on the way, they can give you a ride home. Where do you live?" Suddenly a beep was heard and I held my hand up to the headlights of a car. Elena still held my hand as she dragged me to the driver side door. Through the rolled down window I saw a kind looking man as he looked at us concerned. Woah, everything is getting a little too fast for me.
"Hey thanks for picking me up Dad. Do you mind giving my friend a lift too?" She questioned, her dad looked me up and down, obviously confused at my attire. So am I man.
"I don't mind at all." Elena smiled then opened the car door for me. I hesitantly got into the car and she followed behind me. I sat there with my heartbeat rapid and my hand shaking. However when Elena grabbed my hand, I felt a bit better.
"So what's your name Hon?" I guess Elena's mom asked me.
"Alessia." My mouth spewed automatically, looking forward towards a bridge we were about to cross.
"Where do you live?" Her dad asked me. I opened my mouth to answer when suddenly, pictures of a car in water flashed before my eyes. My arm tore itself out of Elena's grip and went soccer mom mode on her.
"Grayson!" Her mom suddenly yelled and it happened so fast because suddenly we were off the bridge and in the river.
"Why are you just sitting there?" I heard him say from behind me. My eyes looked forward into the quarry, the sun setting behind the tree line. I sat by the grassy edge of a cliff picking off the leaves from my dress. Oh how I hated these dresses...
"Well I wasn't wasn't gonna just jump in. Winter is coming." I answered, a small smile appeared on my lips at the small reference, not that he would know. He sat down right next to me, as I started to play with a browning flower I had picked from my dress.
A hand appeared beside me. Rolling my eyes I looked up to his deep brown ones before grabbing onto his rough palm. A familiar hum flowed into me.
"Come on, darling, just as we practiced. We all know I'm an incredible teacher." He remarked, mirth soaking his tone.
"Try not to become too full of yourself would you?" a grin still graced my features. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the hum, imagining it to flow from my hand with him to my other with the flower.
After a couple of seconds, I opened them and found a live white flower in the palm of my hand. A laugh escaped my throat as it was blown away by the wind. Turning back to him, I almost pushed him down as I hugged him.
"If I knew the answer to get into your heart was magic, I would have done this weeks ago." He chuckled grabbing onto my figure.
"Hush you." I closed my eyes relishing in the fact that this felt so good.
I become suddenly aware that my eyes were still closed and open them when someone started to shake me. The water was so cold. Looking around, I see Elena with panicked eyes beside me, her dad was banging on the glass, and her mom… I go for my seat belt, trying to unbuckle it but it was useless. I look at over at her dad and he looks at me with such sadness in his eyes. I nod at him accepting his apology then he looks at Elena. Tears gather in my eyes as I look at their interaction as they held their hands together, however they were consumed by the river water.
With newfound determination, I start to pull at my seat belt with everything left because at this point I have nothing else to lose. My eyes widened when I felt my seat belt give. Beside me I saw Elena look at me once more. She gave me a warm smile before mouthing an apology and then… floating. I can feel my lungs burning but I tore my eyes away from her and started to bang on the window. Feeling like there wasn't enough energy there, I positioned myself and started to kick.
Suddenly there was a crack in the glass but this wasn't happening fast enough. I was too distracted to see her Dad interacting with another figure. But when I saw another figure I almost screamed all the air I had left. He tore the door away. Satisfied with the new opening, I go for Elena's seatbelt, but I felt a hand start to drag me out of the car. He was gonna take me up but I started to hit him and he looked at me confused. I pointed to Elena, and he looked at her in awe. Slapping him and I gave him a look mouthing the word 'now'. He nodded and gave me a push to the surface.
Black at this point had started to consume the outline of my vision, as I tried to swim the rest of the way. With one last push I broke the surface, racking as much water out my lungs and breathing in new air. I stayed there floating on the surface for a while trying to breath in as much air as possible. However I screamed when I saw a figure push himself to the surface and started to flail my limbs around.
"Come on, you're almost there." He said as he carried Elena. I was struck by his features but I nodded as I started to tirely swim to shore. Making it there first, I watched as he brought Elena in closely behind me. He dragged her to a dry space and I kneeled beside her.
"Elena!" I called as I shook her.
"She still has a heartbeat." The guy told me but he was staring down at her. I realized her had a cut on her forehead. My brows furrow and I glance back at him. To my surprise, his eyes began to change, causing mine to widen. I have seen this over a million times and this was not a good combination.
"Hey you!" He didn't bother to look at me. I took his chin and yanked it so he could look at me. "I need you to get out of here. I don't need you trying to eat her when I'm trying to save her. Go get help!" His bug eyed expression told me he wasn't prepared to hear that. "Now!" My eyes felt funny as he got up and left in a flash.
"Okay I got this." I said to myself as I started compressions.
