A new beginning
-Disclaimer- I don't own the Vampire Diaries or any of its characters! Do only Character I own is my OCC. Enjoy my story and review please. - Oh, and in my story Elena is quite healthy, but not enormous. (If you're wondering why I wrote that, well, it's for later in my story, but like…really later.)
*Prologue*
I never wanted to be a Vampire. I never wanted to be like Damon, Stefan, Caroline and all the others. I wanted to have a normal life, a normal life with my friends and family. Sometimes I wish to be an outsider, to not know about the supernatural world. Just to be Elena Gilbert, the girl next door, who lives with her brother in a little town called Mystic Falls. But of course my wish didn't come true, my parents aren't a live, I'm a doppelganger and as if that wasn't good enough, I'm a vampire now too. How that happened? Let's just say, one thing lead to the other. If I was always this acceptant about it? Oh, hell no! At the beginning I was terrified, angry, and unhappy, I felt everything! It was horrible, but as time passed I learned to control my emotions and learned to accept them. I also learned to accept the fact, that I was now a vampire, which was the hardest.
It was an unusually dark night in Mystic Falls. I was planning on leaving Mystic Falls, since some weeks. Leaving my family and friends without telling them isn't nice, I know this, but sometimes there aren't any other chances. Damon, Caroline and Bonnie wouldn't have let me go; they would've locked me into a cellar and kept me there!
Carefully I listened to every sound in the house, the only thing I could hear were Alaric and Damon snoring in the rooms next to my door. I slowly closed my room after looking around one last time. For some reason I knew it was a goodbye forever, even if I couldn't say why.
I drove for hours and hours, until I had to stop for some gas. It was early morning and I hoped that, their restaurant was open. It looked a bit like the Grill, but with a touch of mystery. As I walked in I spotted an empty place at the bar. There weren't many customers in the restaurant, which wasn't that surprising.
"Hey, sweetie. What can I get you?" asked the woman at the bar. "I'd like to have water and a burger please." "Sure, anything else?" "No, thanks." After a minute or two a man suddenly sat next to me. He was, I suppose, in his late twenties. He looked really handsome, he had brown hair, was quite tall, green eyes and a beautiful smile. "Hi, is this place free?" he asked. "Of course" "Great, I haven't got the chance to meet you I think. My name's William van Bengels. But you can call me Will." "Oh, nice to meet you. I'm Elena, Elena Gilbert." "Can I offer you something to drink? A beer or something stronger?" I couldn't help to laugh at the way he moved his eyebrows, it was just like Damon used to. "No thanks. I already have my water and besides I have to drive." "Where are you going, if I may ask?" "You may. But truth be told, I have no idea." After that we were silent for a while, I was eating my burger and he was sipping at his beer. After I paid my bill, we said our goodbyes and off I went. When I reached my car, I realized I could stop thinking about this Will. These beautiful green eyes hunted me; they had something in them that I couldn't tell. I got into the car and turned on the radio, hoping that this could take off my mind of this handsome guy. Just this moment one of my favorite songs started playing and I couldn't help but sing. And right after that song, another one and another came on.
When I felt too tired to continue driving, I pulled over at the first motel I saw. It wasn't really nice, but it could have been worse. The old lady at the reception was really nice and she reminded me a bit of my mother. The room itself was really small and a mix between pink flower walls and a beige carpet, which had many stains on it. All in all it was good for one night, but of course I wouldn't stay longer here. I took a quick shower, dried my hair and sat on my bed. During the time I spent in the small bathroom, it had begun raining. I walked to the window and observed the road, but since I couldn't see anything I just went to bed. At first I couldn't sleep, but after listening to the rain, which relaxed me allot, I fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
*Next Day*
I woke up in the early morning gasping for air. I couldn't remember my dream, but I had a small feeling that I didn't want to. For a short while I was tempted to call somebody from home, but that meant that they could find me. I couldn't and wouldn't let them find me. After that, I decided it was best just to take a cold shower and to leave this place. After I took my shower I wanted to finally know where to drive. So I took out a map and to let faith choose, where I should go. Then I closed my eyes and let my finger circle over the map. At one point I decided to drop my finger and to look where it landed. I must say I wasn't disappointed in my finger. He had chosen Los Angeles.
After searching the next airport on the map, I drove there. Once there I found an automobile market and sold my car. I didn't get allot of money, since it wasn't really new. But it was more than enough for me. I just got one of the last tickets to L.A., but unfortunately I had to run through the entire airport, luckily for me it was not so big. Once in the plain I walked into a passenger, while I was looking for my seat. I started to excuse myself, but when I saw the person's faces I couldn't help but be shocked and then smile.
So, this is the first chapter of my new story. I'm trying to write a seconde chapter, but I can't guarantee that I will succeed. I hope you enjoyed reading my story and please review. Thanks.
