Chapter 1
Elena waiting at the bottom of a staircase yells, "Miranda! Mason! Hurry up we're going to be late."
Mason appears at the top of the stairs and runs down the steps two at a time. "I'm ready, Mom." He reaches the bottom of the stairs and Elena asks him, "Is your sister almost ready?" He shrugs his shoulders and heads over to the front door, opens it and steps outside onto the front porch.
Miranda still hasn't come downstairs yet so Elena goes upstairs to see what's going on. She walks down the hall and stops when Miranda opens her bedroom door and walks over to her.
Slightly annoyed Miranda says, "What? I was coming."
"School starts in 15 minutes and I don't want you to be late for the first day of school." Elena informs her.
Miranda rolls her eyes, walks around Elena and goes downstairs.
Elena follows her downstairs and with a quick stop to grab her car keys and phone heads out the front door after her. When she reaches her black SUV she finds Mason is sitting in the passenger seat and Miranda is yelling at him to move.
When Miranda sees Elena she says, "Mom. Make him move. I wanted to sit in the front seat."
Elena calmly tells Miranda, "I guess you'll just have to get ready quicker next time."
Miranda sighs and gets into the backseat and Elena gets into the driver's seat, puts her phone in the center console, starts the car and begins the drive to Mystic Falls High School.
On the way Elena asks Miranda and Mason, "Are you guys excited for your first day of school?"
Mason tells her, "Not really. It's a waste of time"
Miranda says, "No. I just go to hang out with my friends."
Elena sighs a little disappointed that her children didn't really care about their education but she reminds herself that when she was 15 she didn't care about school either. She breaks out of her thoughts when they pull up to the school. She says goodbye to both of them and watches as they walk towards the school building.
When she can no longer see them anymore she drives off to work. Elena loved her job as a journalist and was glad that she could spend every day doing one of her favorite things, writing. Before all the vampire drama in her life that lasted for years she used to write short stories and keep a diary about her life.
On her way to work her phone rings. She looks at her phone and sees that it says Tyler, her husband. She immediately picks up her phone and answers, "Hey, Ty. What's up?"
Tyler replies, "Just seeing how the kids first day of school is going."
Elena tells him, "I just dropped them off at school. They didn't seem too excited though."
"When did we ever get excited about class?" Tyler says.
Elena laughs, "Probably never."
She arrives at work, parks her car and says, "Okay well I have to go to work."
Tyler says, "Okay, beautiful. See you after work. I love you."
Elena says, "I love you too, honey. Bye."
Elena hangs up her phone and puts it in her jacket pocket. She shuts off the car and puts her keys in her other jacket pocket. She gets out of the car and goes inside an office building.
Now you're probably wondering how it could be possible for Elena to have children if she's a vampire. You'll find out soon enough. Upcoming chapters will be a flashback.
I hope you enjoyed chapter 1 and my first try at fan-fiction. What did you think?
