Chapter 1: Surprise
Mystic Falls, it hasn't changed much since the last time I was here. I gazed around the town square from a park bench. The Mystic Grill seemed to be the local bar and hotspot, as I could hear the music and sound of laughter from where I sat.
I wandered into the restaurant and sat down at the bar. A cute teenager with short blonde hair came up to me and asked me what I wanted to drink.
"Whiskey, please…" "Matt" the boy supplied, holding out his hand to me, smiling. "Fallon, and Matt, by chance do you know where the Salvatore brothers live?" I asked him with a smile, hoping he would know since it would make my life a whole lot easier. "The Salvatore brothers live in the boarding house, if you continue down the main road you should find it pretty easily." " Thank you, and Matt if you would please forget everything that just happened, it would be fantastic." I looked him straight in the eyes and compelled him; I didn't want my surprise visit to be ruined. I left a nice tip on the bar and left the restaurant.
As Matt predicted, the boarding house was really easy to find. It was a large manor built with old-fashioned architecture and a huge lawn. I slowly made my way up to the front door, appraising the house. I liked their house better in 1864, but times change I guess, I mused to myself. Once I reached the door, I tried the doorknob, surprised to find that it was unlocked. I hesitantly shook my foot over the thresh hold, testing to see if I would be able to enter, and to my shock, I was.
I wandered into the parlor, listening to see if anyone was home, and surprise surprise, the house was empty. I decided to help myself to their alcohol supply and wait for them to get home. After some time, I heard the front door open and the sound of footsteps in the hall. "Someone is here." I heard Damon whisper to Stefan. Smirking, I decided to make my presence know.
"You know, you really should lock your door, it might keep out some unwanted visitors." I got up off the couch that I had been lounging on and sauntered over to the Salvatore brothers. Damon seemed to recover the fastest and finally found his voice, "Fallon, what are you doing here?" He asked me, pulling me into a hug. "Can't a girl just come and visit her old friends?" I asked innocently. "Really Fallon? Not that I don't love seeing you, but why are you really here?" Stefan asked, getting straight to the point as always.
I sighed, "Fine, I heard that my sister had been in town causing trouble, and that a few members of the Original family had been seen here, so I decided it was time that I visit." I shrugged; it sounded logical enough when I actually said it. "Your sister fled town a few months ago. And as for the Originals, Klaus is currently living in town, and his family has been… around." Answered Damon rather smugly. Ah, typical Nik. "Sounds like I missed all the fun, how about we go grab a drink and catch up." I proposed, wanting to know everything that had happened in this town.
This is my first story, so excuse the chapter length for the first few chapters. I don't own the Vampire Diaries or any of it's characters. This story will follow the story line with a few changes, though it will jump around a bit.
Please read and review!
