Sara's Diary
Saturday, September 5th, 2009
Dear Diary,
I know I should have left by now, I am sure that the other people in this town have found out about me by now. It has been 107 years, but I have lost all control of myself. When the hunger rushes over me I turn into an uncontrollable monster. So, I am leaving tonight, bringing everything I can and telling no one. Hopefully, I'll find a new town far away from here, a town that has not been poisoned by the blood sucking venom of vampires, one where I can start over.
A town where I will leave Sara Jenkins behind and all the misery and death that came with her. I will become a new person. I am leaving my diary here in the home that is now no longer mine. I have decided to leave it behind, it only holds memories that I don't wish to remember. It contains the story of the change I went through and the carnage I have created. It will be under my window seat.
I am leaving my past behind, in the house I grew up in, in the town I have betrayed. I am saying good bye to my old life, goodbye to North Shadow, good bye to Sara Jenkins… and hello to Sora Blythe.
I'm going to Mystic Falls
Good Bye!
Sora's Diary
The Vampire Diaries New Edition
Saturday, September 5th 2009
I arrived in Mystic Falls at six in the morning. The early morning rain trickled on the windows of the backseat of the cab. The driver was listening to a hard core rap song on his dinosaur of an iPod; it was so loud I was surprised his ears weren't bleeding through the ear buds. I glanced out the window at the 'Welcome to Mystic Falls' sign as it passed by. I was in my new home.
I felt something inside of me begin to change. I looked at my hair as it began to curl and turn red. I had no idea what was going on! This caught the driver's attention; he stared at me through the rear view mirror. I felt a burning sensation in my eyes, I blinked, and my eye colour changed. The sight of my 'change' made the driver gasp and slam on the brakes. I looked at my reflection in the taxi window, my eyes were now green.
"What the fuck just happened, don't-"
I leaned forward and peered into his eyes.
"I came into this cab with red hair and green eyes", I told the driver as I compelled him.
I threw the money for the ride at him and left the cab. I was just outside the town square. No souls walked the streets and no cars were driven. So, with my suitcase in hand, I used my super speed and ran.
When I finally ran off my energy, I stopped, and looked around. I was standing beside a giant weeping willow. It was near a huge house. For some reason, as I looked at the tree, I felt something pushing me towards it. A force inside of me telling me the tree was a good place to stay for now. When I climbed up the tree I sat amongst its branches and felt at home.
I sat in my new home and observed my surroundings. The house beside me was completely quiet.
"Maybe I should check out my new neighbors", I thought to myself.
I stood up in the tree, prepared myself, and jumped all the way from there to the roof of the house.
"Hmm, let's see who lives here."
I used my vampire super hearing to hear the conversations going on inside.
"Jeremy, I need to talk to you. Jere", a girl voice yelled.
"I need to get a better look at this", I thought to myself.
I walked on the roof towards the back of the house, following the sound of banging in a door. I swung myself on to the window sill of a window at the back of the house. There was a girl that looked my age with long brown hair knocking on the door that must have been the room containing whoever Jeremy was.
"Jeremy! Jeremy!"
The door opened and a boy with short, curly brown hair stepped out. His eyes were red and my enhanced sense of smell picked up the odor of pot. He must have been the guy named Jeremy.
"Yes, Elena", Jeremy responded with disgust.
The girl, whose name must have been Elena, sniffed the air.
"Is that pot? Were you smoking POT"! Elena looked frustrated and unimpressed. Jeremy's cute face began to grow angry.
"Elena would you stop acting like you're my mother, you're not! Just let me live my life", Jeremy screamed in anger. He stormed his way down the stairs.
I used my enhanced speed to get up on the roof again and to the front of the house. I saw Jeremy slam the front door and leave the house.
"I guess this is my cue", I whispered to myself.
I jumped down from the roof and walked to the front door. Before I could knock on the front door, it opened and Elena almost ran over me.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's alright, if you're going after that guy, he's long gone now."
"Yes, that guy is my troublesome brother", Elena sighed.
"I'm lucky I don't have to deal with siblings", I smiled, "I'm Sora."
I reached my hand out for her to shake. Elena smiled back at me.
"I'm Elena", she said as she accepted my hand shake.
"I just moved in nearby and wanted to meet my neighbors."
As I finished speaking I realized that Elena was staring at my hair.
"Your hair is so red, it's beautiful", she spoke mesmerized by my new hair color.
She finally snapped out of her trance and quickly said, "It was very nice to meet you, Sora. Listen I have to catch up with my brother, but why don't you come over tonight at like seven. Me and a friend are having a slumber party tonight and you could come if you want too. It would be a good way to make new friends, since you're new to Mystic Falls and all."
"I would love to, Elena. Thank you."
Elena stepped by me, I watched my new 'neighbor' as she left. I smiled and jumped into my willow tree. In one of the large branches of the trees was my magic suitcase. It was enchanted by a witch who had a crush on me when I was Sara, poor Zack did not know what he was getting into. The suitcase will never become full, I can put anything I want in it, and it always knows what I want when I open it. I grabbed the suitcase, opened it, and my black sunglasses were sitting inside it.
"Works every time, thank you Zack", I said with a smirk.
I jumped out of my tree and used my Vampire Super Speed to get to the Mystic Falls High School. It was abandoned, thanks to summer's call, except for a couple of teachers. I found the administrative office. Inside was a small, black woman with beautiful brown eyes sitting behind the desk.
"Hello, can I help you?"
"Yes, my name is Sora Blythe. I've been transferred here from North Shadow Tech", I told the woman with a smile.
She typed on the computer keyboard, and then her face turned from a smile to a frown.
"You don't seem to be in our system, dear."
"Well", I lowered my sunglasses and looked into her eyes, "I'm sure you just missed it", I assured the woman as I compelled her.
A blank look went over her face. She looked at the computer, began to type again. She smiled. "Oh yes, here you are. Sora Blythe, transferred to Mystic Falls High School by means of-"
"-moving" I answered.
After minutes of information swapping, questions and answers, we were finally done.
"Okay. You are now officially a student at Mystic Falls High School".
She handed me my schedule with a smile.
"Thanks, Bye".
I decided to take a nice walk through the forest. It was beautiful even though it was cloudy. Days like this were perfect for vampires, like me, because the sun's UV rays aren't as strong as they are on sunny days, but I do not have to worry about that thanks to my witch-boy, Zach. He made me an enchanted necklace that keeps the sun from burning me. It was a purple gem hanging from a chain before I made my transformation, now it is as red as a glistening ruby. I was on a trail in the woods. Every so often, I would pass a tree with a pink plastic square hammered into it. There was a strange smell in the air, it smelt like pine needles and … oranges. My eyes followed my nose to a figure walking up the trail. He was a hiker, I think, but he was about a mile ahead of me and I couldn't see him completely.
I heard my foot crunch a stick under me, and then suddenly an ear popping, ringing noise rang through my head. I threw my hands over my ears and began to scream in pain. As I threw myself around, I fell over a rock. My leg broke and the bone ripped through my skin. The buzzing in my head stopped as my hands flew to my leg.
All of a sudden, my nose was filled with the scent of oranges. The hiker was running towards me.
"Oh my, are you alright miss", he got closer and saw my leg, "Oh no, we better get you to a hospital!"
I looked from his terrorized face to my rapidly healing leg. "I'm fine. I can get to the hospital myself", I said with no pain.
"No, it's alright dear. I'll get you to a hospital, don't you worry."
I gazed deeply into his eyes and began to compelle him. "I just tripped, my leg is fine."
"You only tripped over the rock."
I snapped the bone in my leg back in place and within a second my leg was healed. When I looked up, the hiker was walking away from me. I got up and ran back to my willow tree.
