I don't not own anything TVD, just my characters and story.

I drove all the way from Chamber Falls, Vermont where my birth mother sent me to live. Where my "grandparents" taught me to train and hate vampires. Bill and Susan told me one day my mother would return and take me away with her. For some reason I never believed them when they told me this. All eighteen years of my life I never received a letter a phone call or a picture from her. I couldn't stay there any more living a lie I knew I had to find my birth parents. I needed to know why all these years, why didn't they want me. Bill and Susan couldn't make me stay I was a legal adult, my birthday was months ago. So I've driving for days with all my belongings and the information that I was able to dig up on my mother and father. All the information I gathered lead me to a small town named Mystic Falls, in Virginia.

I parked my all black range rover in front a big white house on Maple Street. I took in a deep breath before exiting my car and walked up to the house and knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

A beautiful young girl with long straight brown hair answered the door with a surprised look on her soft face. She looked like me. We could be twins, she could be my sister. "Sorry to disturb you at this hour but I'm looking for an Elena Gilbert."

"I'm Elena Gilbert. Who are you?" She asked confused.

"My name is Sarah Petrova; I'm looking for my birth parents." I answered her.

"Come in Sarah." She led me to the sitting area in the living room. "Alaric you might want to come here." She said to the man in the kitchen.

"Who's this Elena?" Alaric asked.

"This is Sarah Petrova." Elena told him.

"I'm sorry if I intruded on your evening but I've been driving for days now and I couldn't wait till morning. I need to know if my birth mother is still in this town. The only records I found point me here to Mystic Falls." I said speaking to Elena.

Elena sat down on the couch right next to me with watery eyes and started to speak. "Your mother would be Isobel Flemming?"

"Yes, that is the name on the records I found. Do you know her?"

"Yes, she died months ago. I'm sorry you came all this way but are mother is dead." Elena started to tear.

"She can't be. She was supposed to come back for me." I said crying.

Alaric left to the kitchen and came back with tissues for the both of us.

"So we are sister's, my birth certificate has your name on it and Isobel but no father." I said pulling out the paper work.

"That would explain why the both of you look alike, you guys must be fraternal twins." Alaric chimed in.

"I can't believe this how come we didn't find out about you before when I was looking for my birth parents?" Elena asked me.

"I don't know maybe the records were destroyed. I was sent to live in Vermont with people who called themselves my grandparents. When I turned eighteen they give me a car and told me I was adopted but they only took one baby. I have no paper work on my birth father, do you know him too?" I asked.

"I'm sorry Sarah, are dad is dead too. He died to save me." Elena said sadly.

"I'm sorry from coming here and bothering you. I'll just go and leave you to your dinner." I said standing up.

"You are not going anywhere. You are my sister and my family; you can stay here with me and Alaric.

"Thank you Elena, Alaric. I'll just get my things from the car." I said as I walked out the house back to my range rover.

I grabbed my suitcases out of my car and my bag of weapons not sure if I would need it. Mystic Falls seems like a quiet town but you never know. It could have vampires; I'll do anything to protect my only known family member my sister Elena.

"Do you need some help with your bags?" Alaric said holding his hand out for my suitcases.

"Yes, please. Thank you Alaric." I said carrying my bag of weapons.

Alaric showed me to a bed room what seemed to be the master bed room. There was a bed and furniture but no belongs. "Is this Elena's parent's room?"

"This was her and her Brother Jeremy parent's room; they died in a car accident." Alaric said sadly.

"Oh, where is Jeremy now?" I asked placing my bag on the bed.

"Jeremy went away for a while." Elena said standing in the door way.

"Thank you again for letting me stay here. I'm sorry about your parents, Alaric told me." I said empathically.

"Thank you Sarah, if you need anything I'll be down the hallway and Alaric are just next door." Elena said smiling.

Elena left me alone with my thoughts. She didn't questioned me or hover over me. I liked that about her she understood today was a lot for me. Elena understood losing family members and being told lies. I'm glad to have her even Alaric.

I unpacked my things and placed them in the dresser. I placed some of my things in the empty closet and some in the master bathroom. For some strange reason this house started to feel like home more of a home than the one lived for eighteen years. Both my parents where dead but I had Elena I had someone now.

After my long hot shower I tied my long brown naturally curly hair in a ponytail and curled up with a book. Tomorrow will be my first day of my new life in Mystic Falls.
