[A/N]: This probably will turn out to be rubbish, but I'm going to try it. Enjoy the first chapter!

My name is Jamie Forbes. Yeah, that's right. Forbes. I'm Caroline's sister.

I was adopted by the Forbes family when I was seven, right after my parents died. Apparently they'd been friends. So, as a second-grader, I'd moved across the country from Colorado to Virginia. There was an upside, though. They had a daughter who was exactly my age.

Caroline and and I grew up together, not just as sisters, but as best friends. We helped each other, especially through Liz and Bill's divorce. She was there for me, and I was her shoulder to cry on.

Now, we're seventeen. Caroline is a vampire, and I'm just me. In a town full of the supernatural, Matt and I sometimes seem like the only normal ones. I mean, Bonnie's a witch. The Salvatores are hundred-year-old vampires. Jeremy's not exactly a prime candidate for "normal", and Elena's the freaking doppelganger. Let alone the fact that oldest vampires in existence live just down the road. So, yeah, Mystic Falls is pretty messed up. But it's my home.

[A/N]: Sorry this is extremely short, but the next chapter will be up almost immediately. This gives you a little bit of background on Jamie.
