"Oh come on, just tell me what we're doing!" A young woman said, walking along side a tall, dark haired man on the side of the road, hearing a car coming from probably over a mile away.

The man, Damon Salvatore, smirked down at his daughter. "That's what we're doing."

She sighed, "Can we just go home already?"

"Nope." Damon told her, the smirk apparent on his face. "Come along."

"Fucking why?" The girl asked, her voice slightly louder than an annoyed whisper.

Damon put his arm around her head and rubbed her hair with his fist, gently. "Because I said so. Stay here, Elizabeth, you know what to do."

"Ugh!" Elizabeth groaned, but stood where she had stopped walking and watched her father go lay out in the middle of the road, she saw a young couple in the vehicle. Perfect, maybe she could have some fun or something to eat.

Elizabeth backed up into the shadows as the guy driving hit her father with her car, she stood there with her hand on her hip shaking her head, this was one of her fathers favorite tricks, especially when they entered a new town...well, Mystic Falls wasn't new to them, but nobody knew that they were there, yet. After tonight, she knew that her uncle would be suspicious.

"We just hit someone! Oh my god!" The girl said, as Elizabeth stepped out of the shadows, watching this all, with a ,bored, not amused, look on her face.

She watched her father jump up, and dig his fangs onto the guys neck, Darren, who was currently screaming in pain. Elizabeth smirked, seeing the girl, Brooke, she thought, start to run away as she sped in front of her and waved her pointer finger as she clicked her tongue. "Not so fast. I don't think we've met, Brooke. Though, see, the guy in the middle in the road? That's my dad. He just killed your boyfriend, so...I guess I'm not quite sure on what I should do with you." Elizabeth spoke, an identical smirk to Damon's on her face.

"Please don't kill me!" Brooke said, dropping the cell phone that was in her hands onto the ground, shattering it.

Elizabeth ran up to the girl with lightning speed and slammed her against the car door. "See, doll, that's it, I have to." she said as she felt her face change, her fangs coming out and then she went back to normal.

"You're gonna forget all about me, Brooke, and you're gonna be quiet. Okay?" Elizabeth compelled her, sinking her fangs into the girls neck, draining her completely of blood.

Damon walked up behind Elizabeth, clapping his hands slowly. "Good work, where'd you learn that from?"

"Eh, I've had a few good teachers." Elizabeth said, wiping the blood off her chin onto her shirt and Brooke's body fell to the ground.

Damon nodded, and then looked around before looking at her. "Well you're about to have a few more, you're going to school tomorrow."

Elizabeth's POV

It was the morning after my father and I made our presence known to Mystic Falls, what's a couple of animal attacks? While my father was out compelling the police station, I was stuck at Mystic Falls high school all day long, watching out for my uncle, Stefan. Suddenly, I see the odd man out, walking down the cement pathway into the school. I looked around, and sped up to him, putting an arm around his shoulder.

"So, two vampires walk into a bar, what're they drinking?" I joke, a small smile growing on my face as I pull my arm down.

Stefan jumped back, slightly, shocked. "Lizzy? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be-"

"With dad, tearing a few necks open? Hm, I was, then I got bored, I was in the area, and decided I'd try out this high school human thing you do. Tell me, how boring is science? Has it gotten worse since the 70s? Hm?" I lied, ending with a sarcastic remark as usual, and he stepped away from me partially and I chuckled.

As Stefan and I walk into the school together, I could hear people talking about us, of course, we were the best looking people of this entire school. Hell, at least I was, anyways. I was dressed to impress today. I had my dark brown hair down my back in curls, with only a quick coat of eyeliner and everything else. I had been wearing a denim jean jacket, a black t-shirt underneath, a pair of black skinny jeans, and then a pair of black flats to match, with my necklace..my daylight necklace. It had a silver chain and a small, purple crystal hanging from it. Then there was my uncle Stefan, who was in his usual modern mystery guy drab. As Stefan and I walked further towards the school, I could hear various comments about us.

"Damn, he's hot."

"Man, I'd tap that!"

"She's smoking, dude."

"Stefan and Elizabeth Salvatore?" The lady at the desk asked us, after looking at the papers we gave her.

"Elizabeth, your transcripts are all complete but your.." She started to say, but didn't know the family relationship between us.

"Cousin." Stefan butted in, crossing his arms over his chest, stiffening slightly.

The lady nodded, looking back down at the papers, then at Stefan. "Your cousins records are incomplete." she said, then talked to Stefan. "You're missing immunization records, and we do insist on transcripts."

I sighed, and then crossed my arms over my chest, and ignored the secretary and my uncle and listened in on the two girls behind us. I heard a strangers voice, then I heard the voice of what sounded like a overly nice version of Katherine. So, that's why my uncles here.

"I'm sensing Seattle, and he plays the guitar." The unknown voice said, a curious tone to it.

"What about her?" The Katherine sound-alike asked, I smirked.

The unknown voice replied. "Hm, New York City, and an amazing artist."

Well, she wasn't wrong. I would have to inquire about that later, but I walked out of the office, and so did my uncle, after a while, and then the girl- the Katherine look-a-like and sound-a-like left soon after hearing something down the hallway, something about weed or some other drug and a kid named Jeremy.

"Hi, I'm Elizabeth Salvatore. Do you know where U.S History is?" I ask, a small, nice, smile on my face as I held my hand out.

The dark-skinned girl smiled back at me. I swear, I always always so short, she had to look down at me! "I'm Bonnie Bennett, and yeah, I have history first period, I'll go with you." she said after returning my handshake and then quickly took it back, then there was the fact that she was a Bennett...this was an...interesting twist on my day.

"Thank you, Bonnie." I said, as we walked down the hall and into the history classroom, where a couple of students had already been seated and I took the first empty seat I saw by Bonnie, as she was the only person I knew besides my uncle. Oh man, would my dad get a kick out of this.

"Anytime!" Bonnie smiled, and I returned, this high school thing wasn't so bad.

I sat in the history class and waited for it to start, and as soon as it did, I swear, I would rather be stabbed a million times in the heart with a toothpick than sit through another one of Mr. Tanner's lessons. I had managed to get Bonnie's phone number and pulled out my phone, texting her as Mr. Tanner talked about the confederacy, I hadn't even been born when that happened.

if i have to sit here 4 another 2 minz im gonna die. - Beth.

i feel u. btw, kid in the front tyler lockwood is staring u. - Bonnie

I looked forward at Bonnie, then towards the kid she mentioned, Tyler, who had actually been staring at me, I shook my head at him and paid attention to the rest of class. I sighed, seeing the looks that Stefan and, newly found out, Elena were giving each other.

its my hair..isnt it? - Beth.

lol maybe. jk. - Bonnie.

Stefan and I had decided to cut through the cemetery to get to the Boarding house. "What are you actually doing here, Elizabeth. Did Katherine send you?" he asked harshly, his eyes narrowed at me.

"Ouch! Stefan, that hurts me. You really must be naive." I answer, and continue walking through.

"I won't ask again, Elizabeth. Why are you here?" Stefan asked, as I chuckled a little bit too darkly, fog started to appear around us. Either my dad or the stupid crow he's been using is around us.

I ran a hand through my dark, curly hair. "Look, Stefan, you're my uncle. You're the only family I've got besides my dad, 'kay? Katherine fucked us all over, I know better than to trust her now. By the way, Elena. Nice gig. Dad'll only wanna make you ten times more 'miserable'." I stated, looking up at him and he nodded slightly.

"I'm sorry." He apologized.

I shrugged and continued walking, we made it to about the middle and saw Elena, near a tomb stone, I then saw my dad flash around towards where she was, causing her to scream, get up, run and then fall near us, then get back up, still slightly scared and probably freaked out by our appearance.

I looked at her wide eyed, then at my uncle, then back at her leg, then at her again. "Are you okay?"

She nodded, then looked at Stefan, raising an eyebrow. "Were you following me?" Elena asked, assuming that we, or at least my uncle, had been following her.

"No, we just saw you fall, wanted to see if you were alright." I answered for him, lying smoothly.

Elena nodded slowly, giving a small smile in thanks, but then going back to her normal face- without a smile. "Uh-huh, and you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery." she said.

"We- We're visiting, we have family here." Stefan answered, not exactly lying as I had been.

Elena sighed, and nodded. I had picked up her name from Bonnie. Something was clear that Stefan hadn't even asked. "Oh. Wow. Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, It's making me foggy. And then back there, there was this - this bird, and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right, the Hitchcock?...I'm Elena." she introduced herself, I smiled at her.

"I'm Stefan, this is my..cousin, Elizabeth." Stefan said, introducing us as well and she nodded.

Elena chuckled lightly. "I know. We have History together."

"And Math." I said, knowing Stefan wasn't in that class with me.

"And English and French." Stefan finished, giving me a look that said 'don't start'.

Elena nodded. "Right."

Stefan had pulled a leave out of her hair, and I smiled lightly. She was definitely not Katherine. Hell, maybe I could get along with her.

"Thanks...Nice ring...and necklace." She complimented, and I looked up at Stefan to give him a look of approval.

I nodded, holding the purple crystal lightly. "This is my mother's necklace, his ring came from his dads side of the family. He's stuck with it. I'm stuck with this, his ring is weird huh?" I joked, a smirk forming on my face.

Elena gave a small laugh and nodded, a smile on her face. "No, no. It's just, I mean, there are rings and then there's that."

"Did you hurt yourself?" Stefan asked, curious and concerned, seeing the small patch of blood on her jeans, I felt bad for him.

"Hmm?" Elena hummed in response, clearly confused and not feeling her wound. It must have been a pretty bad cut.

I sighed, "Did you hurt yourself? I have some cloth in my bag from home ed if you need to tie it up." I offered, I was actually concerned about her. Maybe this would be a start to a good friendship...maybe I could have a normal life for once.

Elena shrugged, then rolled up her pant leg, my eyes widened. Stefan turned around, knowing he may not be able to control his blood thirst. "Oh! Would you look at that. That is not pretty." she said, and I nodded in agreement, not able to think of any comeback.

"Are you okay?" Elena asked Stefan, and I turned to look at him as well.

Stefan inhaled deeply, I knew exactly what was happening. "You should go with Beth. Take care of that."

"It's nothing pressure can't fix." I stated knowingly, Elena and I looking at her wound again, and then in a second, Stefan was gone.

Elena looked at me curiously. "Is he okay?"

"Blood makes him squeamish. I took a nursing course at my last school, private schools, yanno?" I said, pulling out the extra bright, neon blue fabric from my purse from the class. "I hope blue's okay." I joked lightly, Elena looked at me.

She nodded, a smile on her face. "Blue is perfectly fine, thank you, Eliza-" Elena started to say, and I cut her off, tying the cloth fabric tightly around her leg.

"Please- call me Beth." I smiled back, standing up and brushing off my jeans.

"Thank you, Beth." She corrected herself, went to pull down her pant leg, and I rushed out of there as soon as possible.

I had walked into the Mystic Grill where Bonnie had told me to meet her, god, this place hasn't changed at all since I was last here.

"Hi! Sorry I'm late!" I exclaimed, sitting by her and the kid I remember from our history class.

He looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Who's this?"

"Oh! Matt, this is Elizabeth Salvatore, Stefan's cousin, Elizabeth, this is Matt, Elena's-" Bonnie started to say and then Matt had cut her off sadly.

"Ex boyfriend." Matt sighed, annoyed with saying that.

I nodded. "I get the feeling, Matt. Being an ex sucks, but you learn there's a whole other world of people out there, some may even be better." I said, giving a little advice. It was true. I've had a few relationships here and there.

"Yeah...thanks." Matt said, giving a look of approval to Bonnie, then looking at the door with disappointment. "More time, huh?" Matt asked, making a shot at her with their conversation before I popped in.

Matt looked over at Elena and Stefan who had just entered into the Grill, and made their way over to us. "Hi. I'm Matt. Nice to meet you." he introduced, sounding like he was ready to snap at Stefan. Ouch. Jealous ex she had there.

"Hi. Stefan." Stefan said, a small, firm smile on his face.

Sooner or later, we had been sitting at a table in the middle of the Mystic Grill with Caroline, Bonnie, and Elena. Matt had gone home, something about having to do some sort of thing with the hot water tank. I knew what Matt was doing, it was an excuse to get away from Elena.

"So, you were both born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked us, taking a drink out of her water.

I nodded. "Yup, February 14th, 1995. Stefan here is June...15th? We're not that far apart in age, though, he moved, and I was put in foster care for a bit." I answered, being honest, for the most part. However, if only they knew I was born in 1862.

"Parents?" Caroline asked, now probably curious about why I had "been in foster care".

"Mine gave me up." I lied.

"Passed away.." Stefan answered honestly.

Elena placed a small, concerned smile on her face. "I'm so sorry. Any siblings?"

"Only child." I said, leaning back in my chair and taking a drink of my soda.

"None that I talk to, but Beth's father has been helping us out." Stefan said, lying along with me. I hated lying to them, but they couldn't know the truth.

Caroline nodded, then put a devious smile on her face as she leaned forward and looked at us. "So, Stefan, Beth, if you're both new, then neither of you don't know about the party tomorrow."

"It's a back to school thing at the falls." Bonnie said, furthering the information on the party. I smirked, parties were always fun.

I held the smirk on my face as I nodded. "I'll be there, Stef?" I asked.

"Are you going?" Stefan asked Elena, and I ran a hand through my hair, putting my orange soda back on the table.

Bonnie had no problem answering for her. Good. "Of course she is."
