Right now Maddie was inside a stunning, aqua blue sports car; the wind wirling her hair all around as the car speed down the highway. The 17 year old looked at the driver and smiled. The only person who had agreed to take her 'home' was her boyfriend- Sam. The two were unconditionly in-love and nothing could ever break them apart. The two had met at school when they were 13. Sam says that it was love at first sight for him, but for Maddie, she knew that he was the one. Sam had a traditional English accent wich- Maddie had to admit- was adorable. Sam agreed that if he was to take her to Mystic Falls, she had to let him live with her and go to school with her. Maddie knew that high school would be challenging since she had already left Secondry School. Maddie was the twin of Elena Gilbert, but they were seperated at birth. Maddie had seen a photo of Elena and she thought that the brunette was beautiful. The only differences were that Maddie had bright red hair that curled up naturally and she had striking blue eyes. The song 'We are young' by Fun was blasting in the car as it passed the sign to Mystic Falls. A sudden tingle went down her spine and Maddie shivered making Sam chuckle. The two exchanged a look as they saw the sun glitter on the sidewalks.
"You ready?" Sam asked looking at his girlfriend, she looked straight ahead and smiled.
"I was born ready." she said when the car rounded the corner to the Gilbert house. Maddie started to get nervous as she got out the car. There, right infront of her, was the house that her family lived in. The family that she had never knew. Sam walked around the other side of the car to stand next to the red-head. Their hands inter-locked while they walked over to the white house. As far as Maddie could see was that the house must be picture perfect on the inside because it was on the outside. She walked up to the door and ran the bell. As soon as she ran it a boy came and opened the door. He had short, dark, brown hair and brown hair. He was the same height as Maddie and he looked confused as Maddie stood their, studdying him. Sam nudged her and she immediatley snapped out of it, and smiled. The boy looked more confused than ever.
"Can I help you?" the boy asked looking at the two strangers infront of him. He didn't know who these two people were but the red-head looked very familiar. He shook his head slightly and eyed the two.
"Erm, Jenna Sommers here?" Maddie asked and she saw the boys face fall, a single tear escaped his eye and Maddie looked at him confused. What had happened to her?
"I'm sorry she passed away, her funeral was last week. All of her buisness and stuff like that goes to Alaric Saltzman. Sorry I couldn't help." the boy shut the door and Sam looked down at Maddie, what he saw on her face was something heart breaking.
Maddie forced herself not to cry as she was out in the open were anyone could be watching.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked and wrapped an arm around her, pulling her towards his car. Maddie nodded and climbed into the passenger seat, buckling it. The car started and sped off down the road. Sam had some relatives in Mystic Falls and they were happy to let him and Maddie stay there until they could figure something out. About 10 minutes later they pulled up at a gigantic, house that looked like it should be in a magazine. Maddie was completely blown away for a few moments as she looked at the house. She walked over to Sam and they walked up to the house together. Sam hadn't seen his aunt and uncle in over 5 years. I wonder if they'll recognize me?, he thought to himself as Maddie knocked on the pearly white door. They waited a few moments when another boy with dark hair and abs to die for answered the door. He was very sweaty, probably just worked out and he had no shirt on. Sam smiled at him and was about to introduce him when they heard a female voice chime from the grand hallway. The boy moved so that the lady could see who it was. Once the women saw Sam standing there she smiled and hugged him.
"Mom, what are you doing?" the boy asked when Sam returned the hug. Maddie chuckeled at the boys clueless expression.
The women turned around to face her son.
"Tyler, remember my sister who lives in England?" the boy named 'Tyler' nodded. " Well this is her son, Sam. He will be staying with us for a while." she explained to the boy as he nodded and looked at Maddie.
"Well then who is that?" he asked looking at her. It was then that the women finally noticed the stunning red-head standing next to her nephew. She smiled and said.
"Well then, you must be Maddie." she said and Maddie nodded returningthe hug that the women gave her. Maddie knew that she was going to get along with her. Sam hugged Maddie and then looked at his aunt.
"Well I would just like to thank you for letting me and Maddie stay hear Aunt Carol." Sam said as Carol gestured them to come in.
Carol nodded in response while Tyler scoffed, he was obviously not happy to be sharing a house with them. They soon got settled in and everyone were on the couch talking about family.
"So, Maddie, why don't you tell us about your family?" Carol asked smiling at her. Maddie immediately froze, she didn't want to tell anyone about why she was here. So she just lied.
"Well, my dad ran when he found out that my mom was pregnant, and its just been me and my mom for 17 years." she lied,
and she lied good. Carol frowned at her and sent her nod, wich obviously meant 'Sorry'.
"I'm going to the Grill." Tyler said getting up but was quickly stopped by his mother.
"If you are going out, then you can take Sam and Maddie with you. Show them the town. Introduce them to your friends." Carol said,
looking at Tyler. He sighed.
" Come on then." he said and led the two out the door. They all got into Tylers car and he sped off. "So are you two like dating or something?" Tyler asked as they stopped at a red light. Maddie chuckled at his curiousity.
"Ye, since we were 13 years old." Maddie said smiling up at Sam. He smiled back and kissed her head softly. Tyler was shocked.
"How can you date someone for like 4 years. I couldn't." he said and looked at Sam. He laughed.
"You just have to let her be the boss." he said Maddie galred at him playfully. Minutes later they arrived at a place called 'The Grill'.
The three of them got out and headed inside. It was quite busy inside and Tyler led them to the pool tables were a group of teenagers were standing, talking. They turned to see Tyler walking up to them and they all smiled, but their faces grew into confusuin as they saw Sam and Maddie following. A blonde girl walked over to Tyler and hugged him, smiling. He hugged her back and turned around, waiting for Sam and Maddie. The two walked up to teh group; standing next to Tyler.
"Who are they?" a man with raven, black hair asked, eyeing Maddie. Tyler sighed.
"Guys this is my cousin Sam, and his girlfriend Maddie." he said gesturing to the people standing next to him. The blonde chose to speak first.
"I'm Caroline." she said and smiled at them. "And this is Matt, Bonnie, Damon, Stefan, Jeremy and Elena." Maddie froze as Caroline introduced Elena and Jeremy. Stefan and Damon noticed this and whispered somethign into Elena's ear. Maddie quickly looked away from the three and looked over to Caroline. "So, how long have you been dating?" she asked and every leaned in to hear the answer.
"4 years." Sam said and everyone gasped.
"How could you date a girl for 4 years. I mean its impossible." Matt said and Sam chuckled. No one had yet noticed the couples English accents yet.
"Well, we both like the same things." Sam explained and everyone understood.
"Why did you want Jenna earlier?" Jeremy asked out of the blue. Elena looked at him and glared, she obviously didn't liek the topic.
Everyone looked at Maddie as she went still.
"Erm, because I needed to talk to her about a old friend of hers." Maddie said, not lieing this time. Jeremy still wasnt convinced and Stefan, Elena, and Damon didn't looked convinced aswell.
"What was their name?" Elena asked.
"Sarah. Sarah Brighton." Elena gasped at the name and so did everyone else. Sam looked around confused at everyones horrified expressions.
"Jenna always talked about Sarah and her daughter. But she said soemthing about Sarah not being who she seems."
Elena said obviously trying to hide the supernatural atmosphere. It wasn't working though. Sam and Maddie already knew about Vampires and Witches and Werewolves. They had known since Sarah started acting wierd last year.
"If you are on about the fact that she is a vampire then she has definetly changed." Everyoen looked at Maddie skeptically,
wich made her feel uncomfortable. Stefan stepped infront of Elena, protecting her.
"How do you know?" Stefan asked as Maddie laughed slightly. She looked up at everyone and felt the need to explain.
"I know because she has been my guardian for the past 17 years." Maddie said looking at Elena. Elena looked horrified and whispered one word.
"TWIN!"
