Chapter 1
Leaning against my brand new dark blue Aston Martin Vanquish, I watched the moving boys unpack my boxes from the truck and put them inside the house. When they finished all three of them turned to face me and one of them began speaking.
"Do you want us to help you fix things ma'am?"
I gave them a tight smile.
"No thank you. I have some people coming over to help me." I say, lying through my teeth while handing them each 50 dollars as tips.
"Bye Ma'am." They say together, nodding. Then they jumped in their truck and left.
That left me all alone in the middle of the woods with the feeling that someone is watching me, the fine hairs on the back of my neck standing. I pause for a bit and look around, listening with my enhanced and after a while I could hear the controlled breathing of someone. Even their heartbeat is controlled and I could even hear the blood rushing through their veins. To my surprise though I didn't feel like running to them and sucking them dry of their blood. Don't get me wrong I have great control over my bloodlust, but I'm still just a baby vampire even if it's been seven years. And after the two weeks I just spent in New Orleans with the Originals my control has been a little shaky. After a few seconds I shrugged and went inside the house knowing that sooner or later I would find out who they are.
When I got inside the house I immediately walked to the fabulous kitchen and dropped my Gucci Soho Hobo bag on the gorgeous granite counter. The kitchen is the most amazing kitchen I have ever seen in my life, rivaling even the one that was in the plantation house in New Orleans. It has top of the line Kenmore appliances. Refrigerator, oven, microwave. Anything you could think of to make the best of foods; it was there.
After staring at my new kitchen in awe for a couple more seconds, I walked through the equally amazing dining room and into the living room where all the boxes where on the shiny hardwood floor. Most of the house, except for the bathrooms and a couple other rooms, has hardwood floor.
This house used to belong to my Aunt Sophia Forbes who died of breast cancer a couple months ago. She is my aunt from my dad's side of the family. I didn't even know she existed until her death and my mom told me. Aunt Sophia used to be a New York Times best seller which is how she has all this money. She also didn't have any kids or a husband so me being her only living relative, she left everything she has, all 250 million dollars and four houses to me. Her main home was a flat in London, England but when she needed a break from the city she came here in Beacon Hills. Or so she said in the letter she left for me in her will. When I decided to settle down four choices were awaiting me; Beacon Hills, London, Denver, or Nashville, and I for some mysterious reason chose Beacon Hills. Well it's not really that mysterious. I didn't want to live in the cold, rain or the country.
The only people that know my exact location are the Originals and that's only because I needed Klaus's help on faking some documents so I could go back to school as a senior at the local high school. After being alive for over a thousand years he had to have made some contacts and no matter how much I love Stefan and tolerate Damon the last thing I want to do is ask them for help.
I really don't want to be found. Not even by Elena or Bonnie.
