She was my best friend and my twin sister. We had always shared everything together, that was about to change. It started when she met a man, yes my sister met him first but that didn't mean I had to let her have him.

That man was about to shake the bond between me and my little sister, he wasn't just any man, he was Elijah Mikaelson. Everybody in this town knew of him, even the humans like me and my sister. Everybody knew he was a vampire, we had heard stories, but we never believed them until he walked into our lives and we'd never be the same again.

Elena was walking home when she suddenly had a feeling like someone was watching her, that made her stop and look around, she saw nothing but that's how most people in Mystic Falls got killed. "Hello?", her voice was a little weak and then she felt a cold freeze right behind her, quickly she turned around. She startled when she saw the man that had appeared out of nowhere.

There he was standing, mister tall, dark and dangerous. Somehow Elena knew he was dangerous even before he actually said anything. "Excuse me, Tatia?", the man said and Elena raised her brows, he thought she was someone else. "Sorry, no. I'm Elena", she said smiling, the man was studying her face and it made Elena blush.

"Forgive me.. You remind me of someone I used to know", he smiled back at Elena. "My name is Elijah.", he took a little break. "Elijah?", Elena had only heard that name once, and all the stories about the powerful original vampire came at her mind the instant second she heard his name. "You wouldn't happen to be that Elijah?", she took a little break and he lifted his brows. "As in Elijah Mikaelson?", Elena finally finished and there was the biggest smile on Elijah's face. "Oh, you've heard of me. That's interesting", his voice was full of laughter.

Elena's eyes widened as she kept looking at him. "I've heard stories. I never thought that...", she couldn't finish the sentence. "That I'd be real?", he slightly nodded. "I know, I get that a lot, it's fine." , he said and Elena smiled at him. She didn't know what to do, she wanted to stay there and talk to him but she had to get home to her sister before it got too late and dark. It wasn't safe to move on the streets at night.

Elijah was just about to say something but then he heard his brother near, his head turned to that direction. "You should go home, it's late.", Elijah said and waited Elena to turn so he could vanish to the night and take his brother away from the girl. He didn't want her to die just because his little brother was hungry.
"All right, Kol. Get your snack, I'll wait here.", he said to his brother when they got far enough from the place he had met Elena, a girl that looked exactly like Tatia, the woman Elijah had once loved. "Are you gonna tell Nik?", Kol said before he left to find that snack he so desperately needed, Elijah had freed him from his coffin just a few days before that. "If he were here, I probably would but he is in New York so why should I?", Elijah said and waited. It didn't take long when he smelled blood near and soon after that Kol returned to him, he was covered in blood. "You know you don't have to make a mess like that?", Elijah said laughing a little. Kol nodded. "Of course I do, I just find it fun.", he smirked and then they moved their way back to the hotel where Elijah had had their things moved from New York.
Kol and Niklaus didn't get along almost at all and Elijah needed some time with his youngest living brother, or maybe he just had enough of fighting with Niklaus and Rebekah who both stayed in New York when Elijah took Kol with him in Mystic Falls.

Elena was walking home, thinking of Elijah with every step she took, he was gorgeous, and that wasn't ever mentioned in those stories she. She had also heard of his siblings too but not so much because Elijah was the one to visit Mystic Falls to cause trouble the most.
The door opened fast before she got her keys out. "Where the hell have you been!?", her sister, Katherine was angry, she had been worried about Elena and that wasn't the only reason why she was mad at her. "I'm sorry, I was just walking and I..", she didn't know how to tell her about Elijah, would she believe her?
"You what?", Katherine pulled her sister inside and closed the door. "Damon is crying all the time and I don't do well with babies, you know that so why would you leave me alone with that annoying piece of…", she stopped when Elena looked at her, warning her not to continue. "So what.. I hate babies. Even if they are related", Katherine muttered and walked out of the room. Elena couldn't help but chuckle, she had always loved how clear Katherine was about what she wanted and what not.
Damon was their little brother, only 3 years old and constantly missing their parents even if they were just away for the weekend like this time. Elena and Katherine also had a 14-year old brother Jeremy and their oldest brother was Stefan, but he was 21 and didn't live with them anymore. Actually Stefan had moved to New York when he was 19, mostly just to get away from the family, he didn't feel like he fit in the Pierce family.

Elena walked to the living room and moved her attention to baby Damon who was crying, she got him to sleep and then she asked Katherine to come to the kitchen with her. "What?", Katherine snapped at her, Elena smiled. "I met someone.", she said and the look on Katherine's eyes changed from anger to curiosity. "Tell me everything.", she said and turned on the sofa so she could see her twin better. "You know him too, sort of.", Elena started and Katherine lift her brows. "That doesn't sound good?", she was worried that Elena was talking about her ex-boyfriend Mason, he was a total jerk. "Oh, you haven't met him. But you know of him. We've heard stories.", Katherine frowned, she couldn't get into her head what Elena was talking about. Elena rolled her eyes. "It's Elijah. You know, from the original vampires granddad told us about.", when Elena said that Katherine looked at her with a shock in her eyes and then she burst out of laughing. "Elena, please! Those are only stories, horror stories for god's sake! Come on. How is he Elijah Mikaelson?", Katherine said it with a mocking in her voice, she was still laughing, Elena didn't like her reaction but she should have known that Katherine wouldn't believe her.
"Shut it! I know it because when he told me his name is Elijah I asked if he was Mikaelson and he said yes. And like in all of the stories, he moved like he was never there in the begin with.", Elena moved away from Katherine, she had upset her and Elena didn't really understand why that had happened. Katherine moved closer to her sister and hugged her. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything, but it does sound kind of ridiculous that you've met a man we've only heard of granddad's stories. Didn't you always say that he was out of his mind, talking about vampires and all that shit?", Katherine stood up and looked at Elena who just silently nodded. "That was before I met him.", she said lifting her head a little to look at Katherine. "He was gorgeous.", she said and that made Katherine laugh. "Oh, now I see why you're so upset.", she smirked and walked to her room, laughing. Elena stayed in the living room until Jeremy came to ask her to make him an evening snack. She sat in the kitchen long after Jeremy had gone to bed. Elena couldn't stop thinking about the evening, she wanted Katherine to believe her and most importantly, she wanted to meet Elijah again.
