Hey, guys! As the summary points out, this will be a mini chapter series, but you can expect to be seeing a lot of them! Unfortunately, I don't own Vampire Diaries, and you probably don't, either. *sad sigh* Hope you guys enjoy!

It was difficult to navigate through the dark, the moon covered by clouds and the forest one giant silhouette. Still, nothing was going to stop the blonde from having her fun. Though her friend was attempting that. "Elena, let go! You're hurting me!" she whined.

The brunette loosened her hold on the girl's wrist. She had no idea how Caroline had talked her into accompanying her to the abandoned mental institution, Cypress Pass. Her entire Senior class must be off their rockers for holding a party here, she thought.

It was only 8:30 or so, but it was already a cold night and the wind was slicing right through her. She missed the warmth of the car they had left a few minutes ago. They'd parked in the empty field where their classmates had parked, at the beginning of the long driveway.

Caroline yanked her arm free and fished her phone out of her pocket to shine the screen light on their path. They passed through the open gate. Even in the darkness, they began to see the huge building that loomed over them. They could hear some faint noise, laughter and music.
"We can't stay long, okay?" Elena shakily reminded her friend. As she glimpsed the many windows of the building, they reminded her of deep, blackened eyes. Her skin began to prick with goosebumps, and she hugged herself as she followed her friend.

"Okay, Elena; you've already told me that three times! Just relax and let your hair down, sheesh." Caroline told her, as they neared the congregation, many clustered around a bonfire barrel. "You're gonna have a good time. Getting spooked out just adds to the excitement."

Elena pushed her way near the barrel, and rubbed her chilled hands together. She turned when she was tapped on the shoulder.

"Hey there, Gilbert." Matt, her long time best friend, and ex-boyfriend, greeted. "This is a pretty great party, huh?"

"I'm not sure if whoever chose the location was actually in their right mind." She quipped.

Matt chuckled and handed her the unopened beer he was carrying.

Please review if you can! I would sure appreciate it! Or just tell me where you guess the story is going to go! =]
