Prologue :
'' Matt, we are drunk, we shouldn't take the car, we could have... we could have... an accident ! '' Said Elena Gilbert seriously, before exploding into a laugh, hugging her boyfriend, who could barely stand up.
'' You're right, 'Lena, and vampires could catch us ! We really shouldn't take the car !''
They looked at each other, before bursting out into a laugh again.
'' Matt, wait ! Where are you going ?! The car is this waaaaaay ! I really need to go home ! Jenna is going to get worried ! ''
Matt stopped walking and asked :
''And ?''
''And... And... You're right, she can't say anything about what I do ! None can, not even you ! '' she laughed again.
Matt smiled and kissed her. Immediately, Elena kissed him back. They could barely walk. They were drunk. They both were lost. Existentially. Elena was wondering how she had get there. She was getting desesperate. Two years. Since her parents had been assassinated by vampires. Since that night, she had turned into a rebel who disobey rules and didn't listen to anyone. She was drinking, smoking, she was mean to everyone but Matt. They were planning on marrying soon. Far away from Mystic Falls. Far away from vampires. Matt sister's had been killed by vampires too.
Elena loved Matt. He was fun, with no rules, kind, cute, well, he was perfect. And... He loved her. He had been always there for her, and she had been always there for him. They had been best friend for years. And one day, their friendship turned out to be something more.
Love.
Elena didn't believe in love before she fell in love with Matt. But now, this was the only thing she believed in. They were always together. Always.
They both were seventeen, and they both found love.
'' Where are you going ? Matt ? Seriously, it's dangerous in the woods ! I've heard that they found dead bodies a few days ago ! Fucking dead bodies ! We can't stay here ! The woods are full of vampires, Matt, I'm not kidding ! ''
Matt took her faces in his hands, and smiled, his eyes a little bit delirious :
'' We are drunk, El'. They won't attack us, they wouldn't dare. And if they try, I'll kill them.''
He put out of a large pocket in his jacket a stake.
'' I made it years ago. We are going to get revenge, Elena. Both of us. They are going to pay for what they did. They killed your parents. They killed my little sister. Lena, they have to pay for this. ''
Matt was crying. He held his girlfriend tighly.
'' Are you with me in this ? El' ? ''
'' I... Matt... I... ''
'' Don't let me down, please...'' he begged, burrying his head in her neck.
'' Matt... '', whispered Elena.
'' Please... I'm begging you... ''
Elena hesitated, before saying :
'' Ok. We are going to do this. But we only have one stake, Matty... And why would they attack us ?''
''Because we are on their territory. Trust me, they'll attack. Do you still have your knife ? ''
''Y... Yeah, why ?''
''Give it to me.''
'' Why ?''
'' Elena...''
'' Okay, okay... ''
She gave him her knife, and Matt made his hand bleed. Elena whispered :
'' You don't have to do this, Matt... ''
'' This way, they'll smell my blood, 'Lena, this is the only way. ''
Elena heard a sound coming behind her. She turned, but there was none.
'' Matt... I think we're not alone...''
'' I know. Elena. Breathe. ''
He kissed her, turned around when he heard a sound and...
Elena felt two hands held her tightly, as she saw her boyfriend fall down. Unmoving.
'' Matt ! What did you do ?! Let go of me ! ''
She cried in rage, trying to escape the grip, but the person behind her was well too strong.
Too strong to be an human, she thought, paralysed.
The stranger whispered in her hear :
'' Stop this right now, or I swear that I am going to tear you apart. ''
His voice sounded almost amused.
Elena struggled even more, trying desesperatly to get away. But the vampire held her tightlier, she couldn't move anymore.
'' Stop. Struggling. Now '', he said, his voice now cold and detached.
'' What did you do to him ? He didn't do anything wrong ! He was innocent !''Cried Elena.
'' He's dead, dear, get over it. One more struggling and I'll kill you. ''
Elena stopped immediately, crying silently as the monster was smiling behind her.
''Why ? Why did you kill him ? He was drunk, he didn't think ! Let go of me ! Monster !''
The vampire laughed, and whispered against her neck :
'' Here is the thing. In this world, you have to kill, or to be killed. I prefer the first option. He wasn't that drunk, and you know that. Now... What am I gonna do with you ? ''
Elena felt his fangs on her shoulder. She was afraid. It couldn't end this way. She felt a tear on her cheek, and she whispered :
'' Stop it. No... Don't do this ! I didn't do anything ! ''
The stranger backed off, and laughed :
''You were trying to kill one of us, now, you're paying. ''
She felt his lips on her neck. She suddenly saw the stake on the floor. The man didn't touched her anymore. Elena jumped on the stake, took it. The man grabbed her again :
'' Put. This. Stake. Down. Now.''
Elena breathed, and suddenly, burried it in his chest. She saw his blue eyes. She saw his dark hair, and his pale face. He was beautiful. And dangerous. She stared at him a few seconds, and said :
'' No, I won't ''
The vampire screamed, and Elena run to the Mystic Grill. She didn't look back. Matt was still there. And so was the vampire. She was crying. She had lost him. She runned immediately in Jenna's arms who was standing in the Mystic Grill, worried.
'' Vampires... They attacked us... He's dead... Jenna... ''
Jenna held her niece tightly, and whispered, crying :
'' It's gonna be alright... You're with me... They won't hurt you. Not anymore...''
Elena cried softly on her aunt's shoulder.
Nothing will ever be the same. Not anymore.

Chapter 1 :
- Two years later -
Elena was now 19, she worked at the grill, she still hadn't forget about Matt, and she hated vampires even more. She hadn't meet one since that night. She was still a rebel, and she was sure of one thing : she was going to have her revenge.
She lived now with Caroline, a crazy friend who was always in a good mood. They had become friends very quickly, so they moved together a few months ago, because Jenna was with Alaric Saltzman now, a mysterious man who was hated by Elena. Jenna and him had been together a little time after Matt was murdered. The rebel didn't like him at all. Alaric was hiding something. She had asked him what was his secret so many times, but she never found out. Once, she thought he was a vampire, so she had put some vervain in his drink, but Alaric had drank his bourbon. He had just smiled and said :
'' Thank you, dear 'Lena ! This bourbon with vervain is special, you should do this at the grill, I'm sure people would love that one ! ''
Then he had whispered in her ear, smiling :
'' Specially vampires... ''
And Jenna didn't even know anything about his " secret " either. And when Elena had decided to warn her aunt about Saltzman, Jenna had just laughed and said :
'' You know, Elena, you need to stop being wary all the time. Ric is a great guy. He's nice, funny, cute, he is not perfect, but Elena, I love him ! ''
''You're in love with him but you don't even know him ! Where does he come from ? Why is he here ? Where are his family ? His friends ? ''
'' He's from California, he's here to start a new life because his family has been killed in a fire three years ago ! And he told me his few friends are still in California ! He just wanted to start over... You should understand that ! And... he loves me ! ''
'' You know what ? I can't stay here anymore. I'm sick of him and all of his secrets. I'm out of here. Now. ''
Jenna had watched her niece go away, before beginning her to come back. But Elena was stubborn, and she moved with Caroline.
Life with Caroline was a real challenge. They both were a little crazy -specially Caroline-, Elena was a rebel, and even though Caroline wasn't, she always helped Elena when she had a plan to '' change the world '', or to just annoy vampires. Caroline didn't have anything against vampires, even after Elena had told her about what vampires did to her. Caroline did care about Elena, but she always told Elena that '' revenge is the way to hate even more your enemies '', and the rebel always rolled her eyes, telling her friend that she didn't know anything about hate, or revenge.
But Elena was happy to have found a friend like Caroline. And so was Caroline.
Everything was starting to get better. Slowly. But everything was also about to change.
It all started when Caroline called Elena :
'' Hey ! Come here, this is the new vamp' king on the television ! ''
'' I'm not interested, Care... ''
'' But if one day you meet him, I know you will want to kill him, but he's a good one ! He seems peaceful ! Just come look at him, hurry up ! ''
''Right... ''
Elena came to watch the reportage :
'' So, Damon Salvatore, you're the new vampire king ?''
A young -old- man smiled at the camera. He had dark hair, and blue eyes, he was pale, and his look was hypnotic, he was beautiful. Elena recognized him immediately.
'' Yep, guess so, my brother's death was terrible and everyone was scared about who could become king. But, people, you don't have to be afraid. I'll be a very good king if everyone is good with me. So, yes, I am the new king. ''
'' What are your projects ?''
'' I want to show to the humans that us, vampires, aren't that bad, we drink your blood, sometimes a little too much, but we need to survive. I want the humans to be happy in this world. I want them to enjoy it when one of us will burry his fangs in their necks. That's all I want. That's why I'm gonna pick a human. A girl. To become my wife. To prove you, humans, that we can live together. I have other projects, of course, but the most important is the way us, vampires and humans, are going to live together. ''
'' So, everyone could be that girl ? ''
'' Yep. But I already choose her. I just need to tell her. So, I gotta go, badbye ! ''
His looks was a predator's one. He smiled, showing deliberately his fangs at the camera, and disappeared.
'' So, what do you think about him ? He's great, 'Lena ! ''
Elena whispered :
'' Bastard... ''
'' What ? We are going to be happy !''
'' Happy ?! This guy is the one who killed Matt ! ''
'' W... What ? ''
'' He's a fucking bastard, and I'm going to tear his fangs out. ''
Caroline's face fell as Elena run out.

This night, Elena worked very hard. The Mystic Grill was full, and Tyler Lockwood, the owner of the bar, was stressing the cooker and everyone. He was in bad mood because Amy had dumped him the night before. He was yelling, drinking, his eyes empty. Elena and Bonnie had tried to calm him down, but he had frightened them to fire them if they didn't stop talking and go to work.
Caroline had come to apologize to Elena, and the rebel had accept it.
Everything went really bad when someone throwed his sandwich on Tyler's head. The boss had got up, and started to throw a punch on the stranger's face. Everyone yelled, and the fight began. Elena rolled her eyes, picked two bottles in the bar, and launched it on both guys head :
'' Calm down, jackasses !''
'' 'Lena..., whispered Tyler, slowly getting up. You're fucking fired ! '
''You know what ? I was actually going to resign, so thank you ! What are you looking at, people ?! Go back to your food ! I'm out of here ! ''
Elena run out of the bar like a storm, crying with rage. She was getting her car's keys, when someone put an hand on her mouth, keeping her to scream, and a voice whispered in her ear :
'' Sweet dream, 'Lena... ''
