Author's Note: I do not own the Vampires Diaries and never will, but I however will own Lani McCord
"Beep-beep"
"Ahhhh" I groaned as I rolled over in my bed to turn off the alarm.
Making my way to my closet, I stubbed my toe on one of the unpacked boxes.
"God dammit" I whispered.
A knock on my door made my head turn. "Honey your dad and I are going to be late coming home from work tonight." my mom said.
"Okay" I said with a fake smile.
"You sure you will be fine by yourself"
Like you care, I thought.
"Yeah, mom I am seventeen." I told her bluntly.
"Well... then... good luck with starting school today" and with that she left.
After laying out my outfit of skinny jeans, a blue t-shirt and brown leather boots; I went into my bathroom.
Brushing my teeth, smoothing my wavy auburn hair, and putting mascara on around my deep brown eyes.
Making my way downstairs , I looked around at my new, big, alone, house.
Grabbing my jacket, I locked the house and got into my "baby" aka my Ford Explorer.
As starting my car I drove down the long driveway that was shaded by trees.
Stopping my car, I looked back at the old victorian style house.
God, my home is in the middle of nowhere and with that I drove to school.
" It seems we have everything in your school recorded... Lani is it." Asked the office lady.
"Lani McCord yes that its" I told her.
"Well welcome to Mystic Falls High School, and here is your schedule."
Grabbing the schedule I said, "Thank you."
Turning around I bumped into someone.
"Sorry I didn't see you standing there."I said as I looked at the man.
Oh my god, he was hot.
"No problem, I'm Stefan Salvatore" he said as he held out his hand to me.
Taking his hand to shake, I noticed his ring.
"I'm Lani and I got too..." looking at my schedule, " go, History: Mr. Tanner, see you around."
Stefan smiled.
" Oh nice ring by the way" he looked down at his hand then back at me.
On my way out of a noticed a girl with caramel colored skin, and green eyes.
"Please be hot, please be hot" she muttered.
"Oh he is" I told her.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Lani McCord and you?" I challenged her.
"Bonnie Benett", she smiled," and I guess your new here."
"That obvious" I grinned.
"Yeah, don't worry though; who do you have?" she asked pointing to my schedule.
"Mr. Tanner"
"Oh I have him and he sucks" she frowned," here come with me."
She looped arms with me as we walked down the hall to a girl with straight brown hair and brown eyes.
"Elena this is Lani" Bonnie told the girl.
"Hey" I waved.
"She has Tanner" Bonnie said.
" We are sorry for you," Elena said, " hey aren't you the new people that moved into the McCord Estate recently?"
"Yes that was my grandfather's, then he died, and now my family has moved me from Chicago to Mystic Falls Virginia. Which may I add the house is in the middle of nowhere."
"Well we are glad your here" Elena spoke.
"Thanks that is actually comforting" I smiled.
Bing-Bing-Bing
"There's the bell" Bonnie commented.
"Off to hell we go or Tanner's, whatever." Elena said and we all giggled.
"Hello class, it seems we have some new students." Mr. Tanner said annoyingly, "Ms. McCord, Mr. Salvatore."
We stood.
"By any chance do you two have any relation to the founding families?" He asked.
"Distant" Stefan said, eyeing Elena.
"What about you... Lani is it?" He asked.
"Well I didn't know the McCords were founding families, I just moved into the Old McCord estate." I responded.
Stefan turned from Elena who were exchanging flirty glances, and looked at me intensely.
"Maybe you should brush up on your history " then Mr. Tanner turned his back and started writing on the chalkboard.
I took a seat, knowing I was not going to like this class.
Stefan and Elena kept looking at each other. I smiled, Elena looks like she deserves a guy like Stefan.
Looking out the window I notice a giant crow on a bench.
Leaving school Elena and Bonnie came up behind me.
"Where do you think your going?" Elena asked.
"Home" I replied.
"No how about you follow us to Mystic Grill" Bonnie says.
"But I need to unpack" I told them.
"Seriously" Elena question.
"No I am kidding, I would love to go."
As we took our seats and order, Stefan walked in.
He looked to Elena and came over.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey Stefan, would you like to seat down" offered Elena.
He nodded.
As he sat down, Bonnie asked "So what's the story?"
"Excuse me" Stefan scuffled.
"What is your story? Any family? Where were you before here?"
"Bonnie" Elena gasped.
"It's okay, um let's see I am living with my uncle at the Salvatore Boarding House and don't talk to any of my siblings, but I was in Italy before I moved here."
"So why did you move here?" I asked.
He looked at me, "This is my hometown, it has a lot of umm... history."
"If you don't mind me asking, what happen to parents" Elena asked.
I looked at her.
"They died" he replied.
"So did mine, in a car accident off Wickery Bridge. Now its just my Aunt Jenna , my brother Jeremy and me." She said looking into coffee.
I never would have guess. I felt so sorry Elena.
"So are you coming Lani?" Bonnie asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.
"To what?" I asked.
"The Back-to-School Bonfire in the woods" Elena told.
"I don't think I can, my parents are gone tonight so I need to watch the house."
"What about you Stefan, you coming?" Bonnie asked
He looked to Elena, "Are you coming?"
"Of course she is" Bonnie answering for Elena with a smile.
It was dark by the time I got home.
Taking off my jacket and schoolbag, I looked around at all the unpacked boxes.
Hooking up my Iphone to my Ihome, I started blurring my music and unpacking.
Then there was an unexpected knocked on the front door.
I opened the door to see a raven-haired man hunch over with a piece of wood protruding out of the side of his body.
"Help" escaped his lips.
"Oh my god, come in" I spoke shakily.
His legs started to give away, but caught him, putting his arm around my shoulders.
He looked at my face, his beautiful blue eyes widened but his face did change.
Putting him on the couch and turning off the music, I looked at his wound.
"I am going to have to take off your shirt" I told him.
"You should have bought me a few drinks first." He responded.
I chuckled.
After taking off his shirt, I could help but be memorized by this toned body and muscles.
"See something you like" he smirked.
"Actually yes the piece of wood just nicked you, no major bleeding." I said as I pulled the stake out.
He grunted.
"Sorry, here put this on it" I said throwing a cloth at him.
"So what do I call the lady who saved my life" he asked.
"Why should I tell you" I questioned.
"I don't know, but you did let me into your house" he replied, eyeing with those beautiful baby blues.
"Lani McCord" I flashed a smile, "What's your name?"
He just smirked at me.
"Really, so I tell you my name, but you won't tell yours?"
"Exactly" he growled.
"Fine let me call 911. So tell me Mr. Mystery Man, how did you get yourself staked?" I asked as I turned my backed to him as I was in the kitchen to put up dishes and reached for the phone.
"I attacked this girl and she stabbed me." He said calmly.
I gulped, dropping a dish.
I could hear smash into a million pieces.
"I can hear your heart pounding" he whispered into my ear.
How did he get so close?
Gasping, I turned around, coming face to face with him.
I started running to the front door, but he grabbed by arm, throwing me against the wall.
Using his weight, he kept pinned.
"Please let me go" I pleaded, tears pouring down my face.
"I will" he said moving my hair gingerly out of my face, "eventually."
I screamed as veins appeared under his eyes and fangs protruded from his teeth.
He bit into my neck, I could hear my blood being drained.
My legs became weak and the man let me go.
As I slid down the wall, the raven-haired man leaned to me and said, "You taste delicious."
"Just be done with me" I said roughly.
"Oh Lani it's just the beginning."
Black-spots invaded my vision.
"By the way I'm Damon Salvatore."
Unconscious swarmed, then blackness took over.
This is one of my first story!
So please review and tell what you think I need to improve on! Thanks!
Sorry for bad grammar and wrong punctation.
