Timeless.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'The Vampire Diaries'.

Thunder echoed across the skies above the trees somewhere in the middle of Virginia. Two young women sat under a tree, one blonde... one brunette. The crescent moon shone brightly overhead, illuminating their faces. The blonde sat, legs crossed and picking at blades of grass. She sighed and looked across at the other woman.

"Are you hungry?" She asked, giving her a questioning smile. The brunette let out a slight laugh, resting her head back against the tree trunk.

"I'm eternally hungry, Caroline." She replied. Caroline, the blonde, cocked her eyebrow.

"You know what I mean." She said pointedly.

"Yes," The brunette responded. "I'm hungry."

"Great! I'm starving! Let's go and find a couple of campers..." Caroline grinned, running a hand through her blonde curls.

"Care, don't you think we should be heading off? We've been here for a while now. What if the townspeople get suspicious?"

"Relax Elena!" Caroline simply said. "We'll be fine… we always are."

"I'm worried," Elena admitted. "Haven't you noticed the lack of life after sundown? I'm sure they know."

"Lena-"

"I'm being serious, Caroline. If they know, we have to move on quickly." Caroline let out a sigh.

"Fine," She agreed, brushing her hair from her eyes. "Fine, we'll move on tonight. We'll eat then head north."

"Come on then." Elena said. Caroline needed no convincing. She sped off at top speed, running through the trees. Elena laughed lightly and took off after her, sprinting through the night. Caroline Forbes and Elena Gilbert had been best friends since 1922. Both coming from relatively well-off families. After they were turned into vampires, Caroline convinced Elena to travel with her… and they have been ever since. Caroline came to a stop close by a pitched tent and smiled. Elena spotted two men sitting outside on camping chairs, talking and drinking beer. Elena smirked watching Caroline's gleeful face.

"Do you want to be the damsel this time or shall I?" Caroline asked her. Elena simply shrugged.

"I think it's your turn…"

"Fine, go ahead." Caroline said, motioning to her neck. Elena nodded and in one swift movement, leant forwards, sinking her teeth into Caroline's neck. After she had pierced the skin, she pulled back, her fangs dripping with blood.

"We'll have to be quick," Elena began. "That wound won't stay open for long."

"Okay, ready?"

"Help!" Elena shrieked, looping her arm around Caroline and pretending to support her weight. The two women staggered into the clearing. "Please help us!" One of the men looked up and his eyes widened.

"What happened?" He asked, putting down his beer bottle and rushing over. He was in his late twenties, no older.

"Please... it's my friend! She's hurt!" He caught sight of Caroline's bleeding neck and immediately the second man joined him, helping her to stand. "We were camping out and we went for a walk… she was attacked by this huge animal and she's bleeding really badly!" She felt fake tears trickling down her cheeks and had to resist the urge to smile.

"Ssh... it's okay! I have a phone. I can call an ambulance." He soothed her and turned around, making a run for the tent. "What kind of animal was it?"

"It was like a huge wolf…It came out of nowhere." Caroline could feel the wound from Elena's bite start to heal and began to panic slightly.

"Hello?" He said into the phone. "Hello… yes! I need an ambulance please. I'm-" Elena wasted no time. She tore across the grass, grabbing him by the neck, yanking the phone away from his grasp. His eyes widened. "What-"

"I really am very sorry about this." She admitted before sinking her teeth into his throat. He let out a strangled scream as she felt the sweetness of his blood trickling down her throat. Eventually, he stopped squirming and once she'd had her fill, she dropped him to the floor. Turning around, she wiped a hand across her mouth, watching Caroline finishing up. The man in Caroline's hold dropped to the floor with a thud and Caroline began to walk towards her.

"You ready to leave, Lena?"

"When you are…" Elena replied, looking around at the campfire burning away. She sighed and turned her head sharply. She loved the feeling of the blood and the kill… but afterwards, she felt so guilty. Caroline however, she was a different story. She loved everything about being a vampire, even the bad bits.

"Let's go then." The blonde grinned at her best friend and sped off into the darkness. If it wasn't for her heightened senses, Elena wouldn't have been able to see her. She shot off after her, close behind, both of them laughing as they went.

Elena and Caroline ran for an hour, speeding through woods and across roads in the blink of an eye. At eleven o' clock at night, Elena paused for breath and spotted a large sign.

'You are now entering Mystic Falls, Virginia. Please drive safely.'

"Mystic Falls?"Elena read aloud, turning to Caroline who had stopped beside her. "Isn't this where our ancestors came from? William Forbes and Jonathon Gilbert?"

"I think so." Caroline nodded. "Are we stopping here?"

"If you like, I'm sure there's a late night motel around."

"Who said anything about a motel," Caroline grinned. "I say we find a bar."

"Now?"

"Come on, Lena, please!" Caroline begged, pouting. Elena let out a laugh.

"Fine." She agreed. "Lead the way."

Ten minutes later, Elena and Caroline were in the centre of Mystic Falls. It was a quaint and quiet little town with hardly any people walking around. Then again, it was late.

"That's a bar…" Elena said to Caroline, pointing over to a small bar and grill on the corner.

"Mystic Grill? Perfect, I need vodka after all of that running."

"Count me in, Care." Caroline linked arms with Elena and lead her inside.

Hello :)
Well, I did promise a new Delena story.. and I know I said it would be up before the new year, but I haven't really had much time to write it out. This idea popped into my head while I was in the middle of writing Home Sweet Home. (If you haven't read Home Sweet Home, the link is on my profile, obvs.) I didn't want to commit to writing anything at the time because I had deleted 'To Be Compelled With Love' for that reason.. I wanted to put all of my focus into Home Sweet Home. Now that that story is wrapped up with a bow, I decided to properly start writing this.
Timeless is a Delena fic.. but it's also a Klaroline as you can probably tell by the summary. There will also be more information in later chapters about how, why and when, Elena and Caroline turned.
Anyway, This chapter is a little bit sucky and short, but i just didn't know how to start it off. Please don't let this chapter put you off reading the rest of the story. It has not been beta'd so any mistakes I just haven't noticed properly.
Please review.
Oh and loving these new episodesssss! 3
