Here is the first chapter of my story, I understand it won't make as much sense when the next episode of vampire diaries comes out, but I will try to incorporate my story with the shows plot as much as I can, while still sticking to my own story. i know its not that long, its just supposed to introduce you to the plot

Enjoy! Don't forget to review my chapter (and please be gentle, it's my first fanfic)

Disclaimer: I do not own vampire diaries, or any of its characters

Damon POV
Cold. Darkness. That was all I felt. And the hunger. It consumed me. All I wanted was to tear out of this coffin and rip into the neck of the first person I see. Oh god, what am I even thinking right now? I have been alone with my mind for only 10 minutes and already I'm having homicidal thoughts. I never imagined it would be like this, desiccating. I always imagined I would fall into a deep slumber and then awake when blood would touch my lips. It's much worse. Now, I have to lie here for the next 60 years listening to myself slowly go crazy, repeating Bonnies last words to me, over and over, this is almost worst than death, but it will be worth it, to have Elena by my side once again, that was all I wanted, it was a hard choice, leaving my brother, my best friends Bonnie and Alaric, but I can't imagine a life without Elena in it, with those final thoughts, I prayed these decades would go by faster, for an eternity of happiness awaits

Zabrina POV

I stared out at the horizon, the wind whipping at my hair as I drove along the bumpy road. I really wish there were more signs in this area, i thought. I had absolutely no idea where I was going. I was supposed to be going to my friends place in West Virginia, but since the signs vanished about an hour ago, I couldn't tell where I was going, I asked Siri to pull up my location, but my phone wasn't getting any service. As if my life couldn't get any worse, my car suddenly stopped
"Crap" I muttered to myself. I checked the fuel gauge. It was full. There must be something wrong with the engine
I pulled open the car door and stepped outside, my boots crunching on the rocky road. I scanned my surroundings. I was in the middle of nowhere, no gas station, no buildings whatsoever. I sighed, heading towards the back of the car, pulling up the hood, in doing so, a wave of smoke engulfed me, almost making me pass out. I fought through it, and inspected the engine. It had definitely broken down. I reached towards it, attempting to figure out the source of the damage, when suddenly, I felt something flow through me, like an energy, it was surreal. Voices were faintly whispering to each other. I was snapped out of my trance when my car burst to life, the energy roaring like never before. In my shock, I fell over, slowly backing away from my car in disbelief. What the hell just happened!? I'm was like I magically fixed the car. But, there was no such thing as magic, was there?
My thoughts starting to frighten me, I got back into my car, shaking the whole experience off as possible dementia, I put my car into drive and continued on the endless road. I was really getting sick of driving, and I was honestly quite concerned about my mental health, so I decided to pull over in the next town I see, if there was another town close by. After what seemed like hours of driving, I finally came across a sign, which I took as a miracle, and I continued onto the road that would lead me into a better state, and with that, I took note of the towns name.
