1. The Return
Mystic Falls, Virginia was the town filled with the supernatural and immersed in dark secrets. It is also the town that brought Freya Forbes, Caitlyn Lockwood, and Rowen Fell into the world and where they formed an unbreakable bond. The three of them left a year ago after a tragedy that changed their lives and now their back.
Rowen Fell was the adoptive daughter of Jason and Addison Fell and niece of Meredith Fell. She had blonde hair, blue-green eyes, was 5'8, and her biological parents had been tourists killed by vampires. Not wanting the little girl to be lost in the system the Fells took her in. A year ago she learned more about the supernatural in many ways, ways that changed her life forever. Out of the group of three she was the quiet, funny, tough and the one that would tell it like it was not caring if it hurt someone's feelings.
Freya was the quieter one out of the group but still just as tough. She had been found in the woods by Bill Forbes when she was ten years old. She could never remember anything before that no matter how hard she tried. She was 5'6, had blue eyes, and blonde hair and her life changed forever that fateful night a year ago that sent her and her two best friends Rowen and Caitlyn out of town.
Caitlyn Lockwood oldest of the group and had a twin brother Tyler who she left behind that fateful night a year ago. Her brown-red hair came down to just past her shoulders in waves, she had grey eyes like her mother Carol and her uncle, Mason and was the same height as Rowen. While her and Tyler were twins their looks were not alike. Tyler took after their father while Caitlyn after their mother, they also shared a connection. After she left Tyler had been pissed at her but after talking it out he lightened up and they had weekly talks, talks that told of the death of her father Richard Lockwood.
~Bonds of Three~
The three of them walked through the airport with Caitlyn in the lead looking for her uncle who was supposed to pick them up. Her eyes were red from crying though you wouldn't be able to tell that unless you knew her. It didn't take long to find Mason what with his curly locks of hair and the sign he held that read 'Musketeers' in bold lettering.
"Musketeers," he called out.
"Jackass," Rowen joked.
"Bitchy," Mason said looking at her and smirking.
"Asshole," Freya said coming to stand next to Rowen.
Caitlyn didn't say anything she had merely thrown herself into her uncle's arms and hadn't left them yet. The two blondes looked at each other and then joined in for a group hug knowing that their friend needed the comfort. After a few minutes and strange looks from people passing by, to which Rowen glared, the group broke apart to head towards Mason's truck. Once they were all settled, Caitlyn in the front and Rowen and Freya in the back they approached the thing that was the most concern.
"How are we going to deal with the full moon?" Freya asked concerned.
"Lockwood property has a safe place we can be for the full moon," Mason said.
"Does Tyler know?" Freya asked curious.
"No," Mason answered simply.
"My brother needs to know Mason I don't care what you say," Caitlyn stated not looking at them.
"Cait it isn't right," Mason argued.
"Isn't right my ass! Do you not remember how we found out Mason? Or do you need a reminder? I don't want Tyler finding out like that so we're telling him and that's final," Caitlyn yelled shutting up Mason right away.
The three girls all shivered as they remembered that night. The dark night that stole a piece of their souls and forever changed them, the night that they learned the stories their families told them weren't stories but were true.
(One Year Ago)
Rowen and Caitlyn smiled as they watched Tyler and Freya together. Tyler had to leave because of their father though Caitlyn could stay and so he was saying goodbye to his girlfriend who also happened to be their best friend. Freya melted into the kiss wondering what it was about Tyler that drew her to him but didn't care. When he left she went to grab another drink but stopped when she heard something. Knowing that she probably shouldn't Freya went to look anyway and found Zach Larson there who looked at her with a deadly smirk.
Zach Larson was a kid from Grove Hill who came over to Mystic Falls on weekends for the parties. He was a creep and he constantly stalked Freya which scared her but he never did anything because her mother was sheriff. She sighed and turned to walk away when she felt him grab her arm in a deadly grip.
"Let go," Freya ordered starting to struggle.
"I don't think I will," he said snidely.
Freya went to scream when another set of hands grabbed her, one wrapping around her throat cutting off air supply and the other holding a hand over her mouth. If it had just been Zach then Freya would have a problem fighting him off but two were one too many. They started ripping her clothes off which caused Freya to fight back even more but it was useless. Just as she thought she was going to be raped one set of hands disappeared. Freya was turned and pulled into a choke hold by Zach to see that it was Caitlyn who was holding a bottle now broken from where it hit the other guy over the head. The problem was that Zach still had a hold of her and was now holding a knife to her throat. Freya closed her eyes scared that she was going to die before she got to tell Tyler how she felt.
(End of Flashback)
The girls were pulled out of their memories of that night when Mason pulled up to the Lockwood Mansion. All of them took it in as Mason ran up the steps to greet Tyler. Caitlyn sighed happy to see her twin again but knowing that she would have to tell him some unreal things. Freya on the other hand was scared because Tyler only knew part of the story he didn't know that she had been attacked so she was afraid of what her mate would think of her.
Rowen seeing Freya become scared kicked Caitlyn who looked over and squeezed Freya's shoulder in comfort. Caitlyn walked ahead wanting to give Freya some time but also so she could warn her twin to be nice. Mason had walked inside so when she stopped in front of Tyler she smiled when he pulled her into a hug.
"Hey little sister," Tyler greeted.
"I may be little but I'm also smarter," Caitlyn said pulling back to smile at him.
"I see you brought your sidekicks with you," Tyler mentioned and there was a tone of something in his voice.
"Tyler be nice please. You don't know the whole story of why we left, of why Freya left," Caitlyn warned.
"Yeah because no one ever told me the truth everyone covered it up instead. Dad and Sheriff Forbes both did though Sheriff Forbes always said she never knew the whole story," Tyler said crossing his arms.
"She doesn't only Mason and Dad knew," Caitlyn said, "Look we'll tell you and Mom and anyone else that needs to know tonight I promise."
Caitlyn saw him nod his head in agreement and so she let out a sigh of relief but knew that Tyler was still upset but instead of thinking about that she went inside to see her mother while Freya faced Tyler.
Tyler wanted to be pissed as hell at Freya because he loved her even now but she hurt him. He wanted to say something mean but when he saw her face up close it was like he couldn't. It was like when he got angry only different and he never wanted to be the reason she was hurt so he kept his asshole comments to himself.
"Hey," Freya said looking down.
"I don't get a hug?" Tyler asked trying to lighten the mood.
"If I hug you Tyler I won't want to let go," Freya said walking inside leaving him with Rowen.
"You hurt her you have me to deal with," Rowen said walking away as well.
All of these warnings and looks made Tyler think that there was more to the story then he was being told and it confused him. It seemed like lately that was happening a lot what with happened to Vicki and all those animal attacks. He wanted to question it further but his sister had told him to wait until tonight so he was going to wait.
~Bonds of Three~
As soon as Liz saw her daughter she never wanted to let her go. Freya had left a year ago after being attacked and killing the boys in self-defense. She knew that there was more to the story but the girls and Mayor Lockwood told her to just leave it. So instead she and the mayor covered the killings up as an animal attack. A week later the girls left and the parents let them even though they didn't want to. She looked at her daughter and saw that her blonde hair was in curls and her blue eyes were sad.
"Have you seen your sister yet?" Liz asked.
"You know she is pissed at me Mom," Freya whispered holding her chin up.
Freya and Caroline had been close since the day Liz and Bill took Freya in. The girls were so similar that most people forgot that they weren't related by blood. When Freya had been attacked and decided to leave Caroline refused to listen to anything else and the two girls haven't talked since.
"Try to at least go see her," Liz tried to push.
"I will Mom. Can you stay later? There's something I need to tell you. Well I need to tell you and Carol," Freya said.
Liz nodded her head in confirmation curious to what her daughter had to tell her. She knew that it was about that night, the night that changed everything and ran the three girls out of town she just didn't know what it was. Little did Liz know that it would change everything.
