1864

"Why must we move everytime? Can't we just stay in one town for once?" I asked my sister who was sitting across from me in the carriage.

We were heading to a new town in Virginia called Mystic Falls. I was tired of moving every few months because people were getting suspicious. For a moment, I was thinking of giving up drinking human blood and feed off of animals, but that would make me weak and of course Katherine was totally against my idea.

"It's for the best, Natalia. Now remember our story? You're name's Natalie Pierce and I go by Katherine not Katerina. We lost our parents in a tragic fire and we are orphans." She explained again and I sighed already knowing the story.

"I just want what's best for us little sister. I heard this town was nice, maybe we would stay longer here this time." She said trying to cheer me up and it worked a bit.

I smiled at her and nodded. You may think that Katherine's a manipulative bitch and careless, she is don't get me wrong but she's different towards her family. She's nice and caring when she wants to be, especially to me her little sister. I wasn't that little though, just a year younger as in I look sixteen forever.

Suddenly the carriage stopped. "We're here. Put on a smile." Katherine said before walking out of the carriage.

I arrived at Mystic Falls, the town that I was supposed to call it my home. I really wanted to call it my home and settle down in this town. I even stopped killing people years ago and stole a few blood bags from hospitals and they never notice. It's not as good as drinking fresh warm blood, but as long as I'm not thirsty I'm fine.

I reached my new house and with my supernatural speed I unpacked and decorated the house making it homey.

Before sitting down on the couch I remembered on my way here passing by a boarding house, the Salvatore's to be exact. I hesitated on paying them a visit. However, I had really missed them so I decided eventually to head over there and say hi.

I got in my black Porsche and sped off to the boarding house. I sighed before knocking on their door and waited. If I had a heart, it would be beating fast by now because I was nervous.

Nervous to see their reaction when they see me. I heard footsteps and smirked before the door was opened by Stefan.

"Stefan Salvatore, welcome to Mystic Falls." The boy said taking my sister's hand gently and giving it a light peck.

Katherine giggled and said "I'm Katherine Pierce and this is my little sister Natalie."

Stefan looked up at me and did the same as he had done to Katherine. "A pleasure to meet you both. Come, let's go inside I'll get someone to get your bags."

"That won't be necessary. Emily will take care of that." Katherine said before we entered the house.

"Natalie?" He was shocked which made me chuckle darkly.

"Stefan! Happy to see me?" I said getting in the house, no need to be invited in.

"What are you doing here, Natalie? Is Katherine with you?" He asked concerned. I was expecting him to be chocking me already, but he knew I was stronger than him. Smart boy.

"If you must know, I left Katherine years ago. I'm here to start over and find a place I want to call home like I was supposed to 150 years ago!" I said and went over to the bar they had and poured myself a drink.

"How do I know that you're not lying?" He asked approaching me with his arms folded against his chest.

"You know me, Stefan. I'm different from Katherine." I said taking a swing of my whiskey.

"Yes, but I still remember that you killed innocent people to feed." Touche.

"True. However, I stopped killing a few years ago and started to feed from blood bags. I've changed Stefan, I'm not the same as I used to be but I'm still as fun." I said with a wink and finished my drink.

Stefan chuckled with a nod. "I guess I could trust you. As much as you are in ways similar to Katherine, but you don't manipulate or play games."

"Well, no. I am manipulative and play games when I want to. That's what I meant when I said I was still fun."

Right before I could pour a second cup I felt someone grab my throat and throwing me against the wall. I made no move and smirked looking into the familiar icey blue eyes.

"Hello, Damon. I see you're still the same idiot thinking you're stronger than me."

"What are you doing here?" He hissed.

I sighed hating to repeat myself. "Wouldn't you like to know? Just let me go before I make you!" I glared at him.

We had a small staring/glaring contest before he let go of my throat. "Good. As I told your brother, I'm here to settle in a place I want to call home."

"Why here?"

"I lived too many memories here, more than any other place in the world. I like small towns." I said pouring myself a second glass.

"I don't believe you." Damon said sternly.

"I don't expect you to, but in time you will."

"Where's Katherine?" He asked and I saw the hopeful look in his eyes. He was still in love with her and I shook my head thinking he would be over her.

I knew where she was, of course I wouldn't tell them. "I left her years ago, Damon."

"But you're her sister, you know everything there is to know about Katherine and her whereabouts." He said approaching me and stood a few inches away from me.

"I can't believe you're not over her! She compelled you, it wasn't real!"

"She didn't need to compel me, because I already love her." He yelled and I smirked.

"The same way you love, Elena?" I laughed darkly seeing their confused and surprised looks. "I've been keeping tabs on this town, I know almost everything. It's obvious that you both love her. Just don't let it come between you, don't make of it another Katherine situation."

"She's nowhere near like Katherine." Stefan protested.

"But you approached her because she looked like my sister, or else you would have looked the other way." I argued knowing I was right.

He looked down defeated and I smirked. "If it makes you feel better, you're right she is nothing like Katherine. I kind of like her, she's sweet."

"How would you know?" Stefan asked getting all protective.

"Relax, I didn't feed off her. She's wearing vervain although that herb doesn't affect me anymore. I told you I was keeping tabs so I know everthing on anyone."

"You-" I interrupted Stefan knowing it was another question.

"I just came here and you guys have been bombarding me with questions. I'm going to leave now so I'll see you at school Stefan." I said walking up to the door.

"Bye Damon." I said winking before leaving the boarding house.
