The New Species
It's been 10 years since the events of TVD & TO. Caroline has set off on her own adventure and her drama studies have led her to perform in Russia where she discovers she's a reincarnated royal. A medieval royal family is reunited and the rise of a new species of vampires gains attention from New Orleans
Prologue:
It's so cold….
Of course, vampire's aren't too affected by harsh temperatures but that doesn't mean we don't feel it at all.
The city is so beautiful but cold. Sitting here at a nice quiet jazz café enjoying the sights and sounds of the city, you can get a sort of melancholy feeling but at the same time peaceful and relaxing. I took another sip of my hot cider and closed up the script of the production I was currently looking into here in the Bolshoi Theater. There's something that's somewhat familiar about this city. Not by its looks, after all I've never been here before but…something just about the atmosphere…the air.
With a slight giggle and shrug I asked for my check and waited for the waiter to come back with my card. Pulling my things back into my bag I took a few last looks around the café, seeing that I was one of 5 people left. It was getting pretty late.
Wait…
I did a double take at noticing two men standing outside the window, across the street. Both seemed to be looking into the café. That's strange, I've seen one of them before. Yeah, earlier before I went into the theater to speak with a producer I accidentally ran into that man.
He was tall with black hair, stubble lining his jaw, long grey coat, slacks and boots. When we first ran into each other earlier this afternoon due to the crowd on the street, his eyes seemed to grow in intensity as I recalled how to apologize in Russian. He didn't respond but continued looking at me with a hard gaze as he studied me. I couldn't help but show him an awkward look as I side stepped him and continued on to the theater and now here he was again. Vampire senses can allow me to see far distances and I can tell they are both staring straight back at me. Well that is just plain creepy. They obviously don't know I'm a vampire so they better not even think of messing with me..
Finally getting back my card, I put it away and signed the tip just as I heard the door open and in they both walked. A nervous feeling grew in my gut but I still knew these two wierdo's aren't anything I can't handle. I took my bag and exited the café but immediately zoomed a few blocks at vampire speed.
I slowed down near the red square to admire the sight. People were still around but it wasn't that busy. By now it had started to snow and I could feel the soft flakes setting on my eye lashes.
Wow, I wish everyone back home could see this…
I wonder how everyone's doing. It's been a few years but I still kept in touch with the old gang, Elena, Bonnie, Stefan, Damon and Matt every once in a while. My current home is in New York because I've been involved with programs on Broadway for the past few years but I'm careful to keep it very discrete and have to resort to compulsion at times so people don't realize I'm not aging. I've been pretty much full grown as a 17 year old so it's not too hard to believe that I'd be in my 20's as a human but it's for reason's like this I'd like to take my work and learning to international fields now. After all nobody knows me here..
Strolling around, admiring the architecture, I kinda felt a little lonely at not being able to share this experience with someone. I can just imagine it. Admiring the city, the lights, the night sky while softly waltzing under the snow with that special someone even if there's no music playing. I giggled but also sighed. I've been single for almost a year now. My last boyfriend Ryan had left things off with me pretty badly. He's the first human I had dated since Matt, and obviously introducing someone to the supernatural world isn't going to sink in easily for everyone. After he shot me with a gun he keeps, I knew I had to make him forget. The wound obviously healed, the only thing that was hurt was my heart. Keeping a secret that big in a relationship of 8 months isn't going to end up too well. And I doubt I was going to end up turning him anyway…
My love life is always walking on ice…
Probably the one that worked out the best was Tyler and that's saying something since we all know what a catastrophe that year was.
Oh wow, seriously that was so long ago….
Thinking over it my thoughts couldn't help but drift back to guy that made that year like a gorey Shakespearean drama.
The Original Hybrid…
He's your first love…..I intend to be your last. However long it takes…
I scoffed and rolled my eyes at the memory but at the same time I couldn't let a grin peak through.
Oh whatever like an immortal can actually mean something like that. That chapter is way over and we're long out of each other's lives.
I felt the winds rising and the snow was beginning to move in harder. I guess I should head back to my hotel now. All I want to do is snuggle up into a cozy….
My eyes widened….
Across the square was that guy again, the 2nd one I saw at the café too and two other guys were now with them. All looking at me….
I pulled my coat tighter around me and quickly trotted away down the street. Quickly, making my way through the street, there wasn't anybody really out anymore
Using my heightened senses, I could definitely feel I was being followed.
I can feel that I'm not alone.
Since no humans seemed to be around, I zoomed through a short cut and around some alley ways.
I was being followed….
Hiding in the shadows, I found the four stalkers from before. They were looking for me.
Well I'm not some helpless damsel they can victimize. I felt the veins rise under my eyes and the red glaze over while my fangs extended.
Launching forward I aimed to grab the two in the back from behind but my eyes widened at seeing a sudden disappearance. What the…?
The two walking in the front had suddenly turned and flashed to hold my arms with grips that obviously weren't human…
It all happened in seconds
Arms captured I suddenly felt a hold on my head and loud snap was the last thing I heard before everything went black….
I do not own TVD or TO
Several character's from TVD won't be referenced to avoid life explanations but since the show's are on break I decided to start this story.
Please review if your curious about how this story can continue :)
