The wind was beating my face and my hair was flying all around. Damn! I've just done them for my date tonight. Yes, a d-a-t-e. Finally! After all these years I really had the chance to date a – and I have to say a very very hot – guy. But not any guy! Oh no! He was my boss! Not much older than me – if you discount the fact that I was a vampire for almost 20 years now. A smile sneaked over my lips. As well as a shiver ran down my spine. Could I ever tell him that? Who I was? What I was? And all what I've been through?
I shook my head. No, I weren't even sure if we could ever have a chance to be together. He was crazy about me but I did not know, if I was ready for him after all that lovesickness and heartbreak in Mystic Falls. Yes, it was a long time ago. But the time still fret me and left marks.
I had turned off my humanity for a while. I would have never been able to leave Mystic Falls if I haven't turned off my humanity. All my friends. My Life. The only human – the operative word is human – I still had contact with, was my mother. Because I begged her not to tell anyone, she did not tell any of my former friends that she talked to me once a month. Even my mother did not know where I was. We just talked to be sure that everything is alright.
Yes, I was gone. Far away. In a city which never sleeps. At night the whole city was well-lit and alive. Day and Night. Everything worked over here. This was my dream city. And I lived here. New York. I really fit in here. I was alive and lively. I never made it to sit quietly. But I weren't like that earlier. I think it changed after I turned my humanity on again. And I just turned it on because I missed my emotions. Love. Affection. Luck and safety. I wanted to live again. I weren't even able to count all the bodies I left on my way.
I turned into the street where Harry and I wanted to meet. It wasn't necessary to have a car in New York. The Underground was everywhere – no matter where you lived. And you had every needful shop in front of your apartment. I was leaving in the center of the city. Near the time square. The view at night was amazing.
I froze. Footsteps. But not from an human. Those were different. Feathery. Like a … vampire! The whole way from my home to this street I thought I've imagined them. But I haven't. They were here. Obvious. I looked over my shoulder and say a man. That was not such a surprise. It was New York! But this guy was different. Mysterious. He remind me… No Caroline! Not that name! Forget it! I shook my head again looked away. I walked slowly and concentrated on every sound of that man.
