A/N: Wow 12 stories later and here is what I've got to show for it. Well, I really hope you guys like this new story that I've created…it will be fast forward next chapter because…well when you get to the end of this chapter/prologue then you'll know why it's going to be fast forward. I promise not to make it all weird or something like put my OC in EVERY situation that involves Elena just because they are sisters. They are not twins so yeah. My OC is older by like a year so it will be interesting to see if you guys like this story or not. The girl in the picture is my OC in case you were wondering or something.

Some of this story will be AU cause let's face it; there are some characters I'm going to keep in this story because I freaking love them so much. Alright folks, well here is the prologue. REVIEW. FAVORITE. FOLLOW.

"Elena, I'm warning you if I see that you and Matt are still together then I'm going to kick your ass," Anastasia warned with fake sternness.

Elena laughed and then frowned. A guilty expression plastered on her face. "I know, I know. You, Bonnie, mom are all right. I know I shouldn't string him along, but-"

Anastasia waved her finger at Elena, scolding her. "No! No buts or maybes or I didn't tell him because he was having a bad day or because he was too busy. You can't keep doing this to him…he needs to move on just like you." Elena nodded and Anastasia smiled brightly. "Okay, good then. Now go back to the bonfire, put a smile on that gloomy face, and pop open some cheap beer."

Elena smiled as shook her head and went in the direction of her friends. Anastasia smiled at her little sister. She knew they should be at home, but Elena wanted to "get away" for a while. Being the big sister that she was, she sighed and sneaked them. She also knew that Elena who is still a sophomore and she a junior shouldn't be drinking, but sometimes they needed a break. Anastasia wished that her friend Vicki Donavan, the druggie was here, but she claimed to have a hot date tonight. Anastasia laughed and knew that she was doing drugs and she hadn't blamed her for doing them because she had met her mother. End of story. She always wondered how Matt Donavan, Elena's boyfriend or soon-to-be ex-boyfriend turned out to be such a nice guy. Don't get her wrong she did love Matt like a little brother and that's why she didn't want to see him get hurt.

She was one of the popular who seemed to have everything that everyone else envied to have. Elena was known as Ana's little sister and soon Jer will be known as Elena's kid brother. She decided to become a cheerleader and then so did Elena. She was captain of the cheer squad, but had smarts and beauty just like Elena had. She loved her family more than anything in the world and she always felt happy when she was with them. She felt like something was missing though. That this wasn't enough…there just had to be more in the world then this damn town where nothing bad ever happens here.

Anastasia walked away from the loud laughter and music of the bonfire and to the empty road. She stopped as she saw a man there lying in the middle of the road. She knew that she should just back away slowly and go back to the bonfire, but her damn conscience was getting in the way. She suddenly cursed her parents for teaching her right from wrong and giving her compassion and curiosity. She turned around to look behind her and when she looked back the man was gone. She knitted her eyebrows in confusions then turned around.

She gasped a little as she saw him standing in front of her, his electric intense blue eyes staring at her chocolate brown ones. Her heart pounded frantically against her chest. Her instinct telling her to get the hell out of there and run for her dear life even though he was incredibly hot. He smiled warmly at her and put his hands up in defense. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."

She scoffed. "I-I wasn't scared."

"Oh, really? So what do you call the gasp that came out of your mouth? Scientific discovery?"

She rolled her eyes. "It's called…" she tried to look for the right word and he grinned at her. She shook her head. "Alright. Fine, you scared me a little. Happy?"

"Very," he said softly and he took out his hand and said, "I'm Damon."

She eyed his hand suspiciously. "Anastasia, germ-a-phobe." She crossed her arms over her chest.

He laughed lightly and nodded. "Of course, understandable. So was that Katherine I just saw you talking to?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"The girl who you were talking to about her not stringing along someone."

"Oh, that's Elena, my little sister. Her name's not Katherine." Anastasia said.

"Oh, she just looks…I'm sorry, she just really reminds me of someone." He said looking for some reason disappointed.

"That sucks," she muttered.

"How so?"

She shrugged. "It would be kind of cruel to see someone who looks like someone you used to know then realize that it isn't that someone thus making it really suck because you become sad and disappointed."

"Duly noted," he replied.

"You know you shouldn't eavesdrop into someone's conversation. Didn't your mother ever teach you that?"

"She did, but she wasn't live long enough to see it through."

"That sucks double time."

"Yeah, indeed it does suck double time," he laughed, a ghost of a smile on his lips.

"No offense, Damon, I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but it is kind of creepy you're standing out here in the middle of nowhere."

"You're one to talk. You're out here all by yourself."

"Damn, my secret is out." He knitted his eyebrows in confusion then she whispered, "I'm a serial killer, Damon. That's why I'm out here all alone; I'm waiting for some dumb foolish busty guy to come out here just so I could kill him."

He faked fear in his face. "No, no, no. It can't be…" He shook his head. "Please, I'm too young to die."

"Too late, you're already on my hit list. SO you better watch your back tonight when you're sleeping." She said, shaking her head.

They laughed and smiled at each other. She loved that he went along with her serial killer identity. Yeah, sometimes she could be a big sister, but she did have sense of humor that was not appreciated well enough, only by her little fourteen year old brother, Jeremy.

"You're sister a pain in the ass," he asked.

"You have no idea. Sometimes, she's the big sis and I'm the little sister." She smiled at the mention of her family. "Sometimes, I think how the hell are we even related?"

He genuinely laughed and nodded. "Yeah, I get that feeling a lot with my little brother. He's the brooding mysterious type."

"My sister is the peppy judgmental type. Maybe we should hook them up." She joked.

"They'd probably hit it off."

"Only a peck on the cheek, no feel, no passionate kiss." She said dramatically. "The horror that he kisses her on the lips!"

He chuckled. "If that happens then may god have mercy on the both of them!"

She laughed. "Damn, only if."

"That's the dream."

She nodded. "Hitting two birds with one stone."

"Nicely done." He praised, smirking. "You single?"

She opened her mouth then closed it a couple of times. She shook her head. "It's complicated."

He turned then sat on the ledge of the road. He patted the spot next to him and said, "Come on, tell me. I don't bite…at least not today."

She couldn't help, but smile at him. She shook her head and sat next to him. He was a lot closer than she had realized. She shifted a little nonchalantly and sighed loudly. "Well, where to begin…"

"From the beginning of course," he suggested brightly.

"Alright, well I'm in this constant fight with my guy because he wants me to be something I'm not and that's not who I am. He wants marriage, kids, college…I don't even know if I want any of those things."

His eyebrows lifted in surprise. "You're saying you don't have a thirst for knowledge?"

"I'm Eve in the garden who takes the apple from the forbidden tree because she wants more and needs to know more. I f I go to college and stay Mystic Falls, the town that life stands still then I wouldn't know the world. I need to know what it is like out there, I want adventure…is that bad."

He shook his head. "No, it's not, but that's not the reason why you're in this fight with your guy."

"Please, enlighten me, oh so wise one," she said.

He chuckled softly. "Hmm. You want what everyone wants, Ana. You want a love that consumes you. You want passion and adventure, and even a little danger."

His voice was soft and…and intoxicating making her a little dizzy. It was indeed consuming yet fulfilling for her. He gazed into her eyes with such truth and seriousness that it scared her a little. His eyes quickly glanced at her lips and she was thinking the same thing. She really wanted to kiss him, this mysterious stranger who seemed to have all the answers. She had never met anyone like him before…and she was loving every single moment of it.

"So, what do you want?" she asked softly, not taking their eyes off of each other.

He leaned in and their lips hovered over each other, her heart beating frantically against her chest yet again, but this time not in fear…she was nervous right now because of him. It was like she was under a spell or something that it completely frozen her entire body. She would be considered a cheater right now for about to let this complete handsome stranger kiss her. They were so close…yet so far that it was agonizing.

HONK! HONK!

Just like that the spell was broken, but yet still there. "That's my parents," she whispered softly.

He shook his head, eyes still closed as he let out a soft chuckle. "Of course it is."

She turned to look at the car coming from far away. When she looked back, he was invading her space though it didn't bother her, only excited her the way his blue eyes were so intense. "I want you to get everything you're looking for. But right now I…I want you to forget that this happened. I can't have people knowing I'm in town yet." He cupped her cheek, his thumb tracing her cheekbone as he smiled softly at her. "Good night, Anastasia."

She blinked then looked around. What? Why am I…? She whirled around as she heard a honk behind her. The confusion disappearing and she smiled as she saw her parents and sister in the car. She knew that Elena must've called them and she was suddenly grateful for that. She smiled warmly at them as they pulled up and asked, "What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

She looked around and chuckled, a little embarrassed for some reason. "I-I don't know."

"Well, get inside the nice warm car or you'll catch a cold and have snot dripping down your nose again," her dad joked.

She laughed and opened the back seat door, she froze. She turned her head and had the feeling that someone was watching her. She knitted her eyebrows in confusion as she saw nothing.

"What's wrong, sweetheart?" her mother asked, concerned.

Anastasia shook her head. "Nothing…I-I just thought that I saw something."

She shook her head again then went inside the car, oblivious to the blue-eyed vampire perched on a branch watching her from afar…hidden from them. He watched the car drive away and somehow Damon knew that he would never see her again.

"Wake up," Elena shook her sister frantically as she yelled at her, tears streaking down her face.

Anastasia was lying in the hospital bed with a tube in her mouth with IV's and cords attached to her. Elena wanted to tear them all off in hopes that she would wake up. Her parents were dead and she wouldn't let her big sister die as well. They kept on telling her that she was practically dead and that machines were the only thing keeping her alive. Elena wouldn't lose her too. Her and Jeremy had already lost half of their family and they couldn't lose their sister as well. Jeremy was on the other side of the bed, gripping her sister's pale hand.

Her lip quivered. "Please, I need you." She begged. "Mom and Dad are gone and it can't be only Jer and I. We still need our big sister."

They both waited for something, a little twitch or something, but her sister was still and steady. Her chest slowly going up and down, up and down, up and down. It was driving Elena insane…what good were doctors for of they couldn't help her sister. They said that the water of the lake went into her sister's brain and blood. They told her that they didn't know how unsanitary that the water had been, but that it infected her sister's blood stream and brain nerves like they froze it or something. She heard one of the residents say that her sister was a medical mystery. Elena was about to yell at them when Jeremy's hand shot out and grip it.

He shook his head and the tears dried up on his face. "No. Don't."

Elena nodded and sat back down. He held her hand as he held onto Anastasia's as well. They seemed to stare at their pale sister for a while…sometimes by themselves or with Aunt Jenna. One day though…they both looked at each other, the hope of her waking up fading away and then they let go of their hands and then their sisters. They decided to keep her here hoping that she would awake once again.

They followed Aunt Jenna out of the hospital, forcing themselves not to look back.

TBC…

Well, there you have it. I know it is sad, but it gets better next chapter. I really almost cried while writing the last scene…it was just really sad for me to write and I had to take a second to keep writing. Well like I said, next chapter will be a fast forward. It's going to speed up to where Elena knows about vampires already. So it will be interesting to see how you guys react to it. Expect the unexpected…that is all I will tell ya folks. I REALLY hoped you guys liked it.

REVIEW. FAVORITE. FOLLOW. Until next time…
