third person:

It was a typical day In Fell's Church when everything changed. Nothing remained the same. The trees whispered the arrival of a stranger. And even the clocks all over the town stopped as the mysterious figure emerged from the fine cloud bank that had settled over the graveyard. Something pulled Vanessa towards this tiny town, something powerful, dark, and handsome, something that called to her every being, her every reason to exist.

Elena Gilbert sat next to Stefan Salvatore in their English class discussing the difference between "who" and "whom." Damon sat alone three rows down and two desks away from the girl whom he had loved but only seemed to love his pathetic excuse of a brother. It was two years after Elena and Damon had saved Stefan and they still were in love they way they had always been. Damon knew that this feeling of hatred inside of him would pass, it always did, but this time it was different. There was no way for him to get over this.

"This was the third time Stefan has gotten the girl's love: first with our mother, then Katherine, and now Elena," Damon whispered to himself glancing at the two of them. Even though it was only a quick glimpse he saw it all. Elena had her hand rapped tightly in Stefan's. It was a mistake for Damon to look over at them, for it sent new tremors of rage down his spine. He felt Power surge into him from the rage but he suppressed it when Bonnie looked at him and shook her head slightly. Bonnie had just recently become aware of her ability to sense Power.

"God these lectures go on and on." Matt said as they looked over their textbooks. Damon smiled a half-second smile and then let the mask slip back into place. It was not easy for Damon Salvatore to just sit there, while his classmates learned what he had centuries ago. When the bell finally rang, Stefan twirled Elena around before they left, hand in hand, to lunch. Damon felt his anger disappearing as he saw Elena give him a sad smile.

Vanessa walked to the front desk with her fake notebooks, backpack, pencils, pens. She noticed the many stares at her but didn't stop to notice till a boy with dark russet colored skin stepped in front of her.

"Hi, I'm Tyler. You must be new here. Would you like me to walk with you to your next class, I'd be glad to." He said walking backwards with her.

"No thank you. I can find my own way." Vanessa said rather impressed that Tyler could keep up with her longer strides.

"Really it's not a problem if you want someone to walk with." Tyler pressed. Putting his arm out in front of her.

"She said she's fine!" Damon Salvatore said lowering Tyler's hand.

Damon's POV

"She said she's fine!" I said lowering Tyler Smallwood's hand.

"I am just trying to be friendly." Tyler said clearly annoyed that I stopped him. I noticed the new girl was nowhere to be seen. I sent out a wave of Power and got an answer but not one I expected.

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE! YOU LOOK FOR ME ONE MORE TIME I'LL BREAK YOUR NECK!" She yelled back at the top of her mental lungs. I left Tyler and headed towards the main office where I knew she was. When I got there she was staring intently at the receptionist with a small smile on her face. I sent out Power and realised she was using some as well. Then I noticed something ordinary humans didn't have and wouldn't have noticed. Her canines were slowly protruding and growing longer.

"Look. I don't want to startle you. But, not here anyways. There have been enough attacks on the teachers of this school. Don't attack this one." I said in what was supposed to be a calming, relaxing tone.

"And what if I do?" She asked back matching my tone.

"I'll have to stop you." I replayed taking a step closer. She took one step back as I took another step forward.

"Who are you?" She asked sarcasm seeping into her voice. I looked around and seeing that nobody was around slowly allowed my fangs to slowly grow until they were clearly visible.

"I'm just like you." I whispered taking a step closer. She didn't move a muscle as I walked forward. She finally took a step backward when I was a foot from her. She held out her hand and I reached towards her till our fingers connected by the finger tips. As soon as I touched her fingers I felt an electric shock pass through my body. I withdrew my hand and she must have felt it to because she kept the hand raised but wouldn't looked at me.

"I'm not the only one who felt that was I?" She asked taking a step backwards.

"No I felt it to." I said trying to hide how I was thrilled about her touch. Her voice was soft yet firm. There was a musical rhythm weaved into her voice that reminded me of my mother's voice. It was like she was related to me somehow. She glanced behind me at the old receptionist and then back to me. Her eyes were a soft chocolate with white swirls through them. Her hair was the brightest shade o red I think I had ever seen. Now I remembered who she reminded me of: My mother's sister had the same bright red hair with black highlights as she had.

"You're staring at me. Why?" She tilted her head and looked my up and down. I smiled a small half- second smile and then let the mask slip back on. I loved how she just looked at me but her eyes said a thousand different messages. Her pupils were dialated showing fear and angziety but the colors were filled with joy and wonder.

"You're beautiful." I stated. The bell rang and the next group flooded the halls going to lunch.

"Hey Damon! You... missed lunch." Elena said her smile wavering as she saw her standing there.

"Hey this is...?" I studdered now realizing that she never gave a name.

"Vanessa." She said not moving.

"DON"T WORRY THIS IS MY BROTHER AND HIS GIRLFRIEND." I told Vanessa so her natural instencts wouldn't kick in to defend herself.

"Hello I'm Elena." she said and then nudged Stephan. I realized he was staring at her and cleard my throat. Let's hope to god that Vanessa wasn't thinking atbout him the way my brother probably was.

"I'm Stephan." He said nodding coming out of is trance.

"Hi." Vanessa said.

"Would you like to get something?" I asked her to save her from the many questions building up inside Elena. Vanessa nodded and then started walking away.
"IF SHE ISN'T UNDER CONTROL OF HER OWN EMOTIONS YOU ARE BREAKING YOUR PROMISE TO ELENA." St. Stephan reminded me.

FLASHBACK:
It was windy as Elena dragged Stephan and I back into the old Boarding House where Stephan lived. Mrs. Flowers was there and she stared at me as if she knew I was more dangerous than St. Stephan.
"You have no idea," I thought to myself. I had just fed on two very pretty girls in town who now were taking a nice nap thinking they imagined it all. We walked together up the stairs at Elena's slow human pace. Had it been just me I would already be there and back three times.
"I asked both of you," She looked strait at me as if to remind me I wasn't alone," to come here today because I really like it here and now that people know about the freaky things that happened we need to be careful." Elena said this still looking at me. And as always St. Stephan was the only one who was not dirrectly looked at only me. Stephan nodded along with every word she said.
"I need you to promise me you'll be careful. You know like make sure the people think your just normal." I snorted in disgust. Why should I, Damon, have to pretend to be like a pathetic human?
"I promise." Stephan said without hesitating. I nodded and Elena rushed to kiss Stephan on the lips. I promptly flew through the open window leaving them behind.
END FLASHBACK

"WHAT EVER LITTLE BROTHER." I said shaking my head. He never would understand that I never played nice.
