Founder`s Day

So secure at the first sight, long dark hair, happy smile and the sound of music that comes out of her headphones. Yes, that`s me. I am just an ordinary girl that is lucky to have a family. Well, my family are not relatives but people who were so kind to me. My farther Robert adopted when I was just born. Since then I lived in Los-Angeles with him, but when I was nine we moved to Mystic Falls. I was really excited about it, had butterflies in my stomach all the way to this town. I liked it from the first day here. And the strangest thing about all that is that I don`t know anything about the town. Well, everything here is soooo strange, you know. I just… I just don`t know what to do. I`ve met a lot of people here, but they seem average, but at the same moment I feel them hiding something from me.

OK, don`t think that I am that strange and paranoid. I am not. Robert and my uncle Alaric always told me to stop being paranoid. Yep, what else could they tell me. So today I am going to Ric`s and my father went on the business trip for several months to New-York. As usual… I was walking up the stairs when I heard a familiar voice talking out aloud.

"You really should leave now!" – Ric said. I`ve never heard him talking in that tone.

"But, Ric, listen, you know we need you now, can`t you let me in?" – finally I steped on the last step and saw the guy, who was talking Alaric; and I had to admit he looked hot.

He turned and smirked and Alaric hit him hard with his elbow.

"Ouch. RIc, you didn`t tell me you have a new girlfriend, hot one," – he laughed and looked at me.

"Damon she is my niece, and you better not coming any closer to her," – Alaric gave this Damon a thoughtful look and then came closer to me and hugged me, so I hugged him back.

"She knows?" – Damon came a little bit closer to us.

"No, so just leave… please," – he gave Damon another thoughtful look.

"OK-OK… Have a nice time… By the way, hope to see you at the parade today, sweetie" – he smirked again and when I closed my eyes and finally opened them he just vanished, like he wasn`t there at all.

Alaric rolled his eyes and we walked to his flat. He was a little bit nervous about something but I had no idea why. He looked at me and smiled.

"I have a gift for you, Ronnie," – I came after him to his bedroom.

There it was, old gown lying on his bed. It was blue and white, which perfectly combined with my skin and hair color.

"Oh my gosh, it is beautiful… Thank you," – I hugged him and he hugged me back.

After several minutes I was doing my hair, making perfect curls, then make-up and finally put the dress on. I looked at myself and then told Alaric he can come and see me. He was just staring and I laughed.

"My girl grew up…" – there was sadness in his voice, which made me smile slightly. – "You look gorgeous, really/ And now I am afraid about you going there, just in case Damon and…"

"Everything is going to be all right, believe me," – I assured him and Ric looked at me with relief.

At square:

I was going around with Lily almost everywhere. She was really excited about all of it. She smiled to everyone, just as she usually did. We saw Elena and walked over to her. Gilbert gave me a surprised look.

"Ronnie? I cannot believe that it is you, but… Well, I just want to say you look great today, just as usual I suppose," – she smiled in a childish way as always and then looked somewhere. "I can see Stefan there, I think we should go, shouldn`t we?"

"Right, we are coming, but I am going to Jack at first," – said Lily and leaved. Jack was her boyfriend and they spend almost all their free time together.

Elena and I went to Stefan, but he was not alone. There was that guy, Ric`s friend. They were looking surprised when they saw us. I was getting annoyed with everyone looking at me like I was a ghost. We dropped a curtsey and the guys smiled at us. We went closer, but soon I understood that Elena needed some time with Stefan.

I went over to Care, Bonnie and Matt. I smiled at them and greeted everyone. Then Tyler came over and Matt left.

"Hey, what`s wrong with him?" – Tyler asked taking a photo of us three.

"You kissed his mom and then you had a fight where you almost killed him. You owe him more than an apology," – Care said, smiling sad.

Tyler gave photo-camera back to Caroline.

"Hello, sweetheart," – I heard a familiar voice when I turned and saw Damon with a smirk on his face.

"Hey, I thought you wouldn`t talk to me since Ric told you to stop…" – I was just about to finish when I heard Karol Lockwood saying that I must go.

"Good luck there," – Damon was almost laughing.

He is strange and acts really weird, you know… I went to the parade where I was standing near Elena and Stefan with my pair – a boy from parallel class. We never were friends, but now we talked to each other at least sometimes. And of course I saw Damon standing there, right in front of Bonnie. Well, he seems to like Gilbert… I usually can tell it just from the way he looks at her.

After the parade I changed my clothes to jeans and white top. Then I put on my cardigan, which was dark purple, almost black. And again I looked smart in it. I walked to the Mystic Grill where I spent some time with Bonnie. She was a little bit nervous and distressed. After that we went back to the square. I was standing and then I felt a sudden pain. A man was walking to me, but then Alaric came closer and told him he would deal with "this one". He helped me to get up and we went somewhere. I was sitting there and I had that kind of a pain I never had. Then Elena came there, helping Stefan. He seemed to have the same symptoms as I did.

"Is she…" – Elena didn`t finish as Alaric told her "no"

Then suddenly I understood I cannot hear anything at all. I woke up in my bed with Ric sitting on one side of it. He held my hand with a grief on his face. When he saw me open my eyes he was so happy, I`ve never seen him so happy before. Since my farther was always going to business trips, Ric was the one who played a role of a parent in my life. He and Isobel actually, but then she disappeared. Well, no one talks about her, it`s like a taboo in our family.

"How do you feel? I was so scared for you!" – he hugged me, what made me a little bit confused as I did not remember anything about what happened.

"I presume everything is going great, isn`t it?" – he smiled, nodding and then gave me another hug.

The only thing I could feel was that he was confused and scared of whatever happened to me. Why is that? And what happened to me? These questions won`t be answered today, that`s for sure. Well, sooner or later I will find out answeres.
