Dear all,
Hello! This is my first attempt at writing a Vampire Diaries Fanfic and I really hope it turns out to be much to your liking. I'm hoping for quite a few reviews. To talk about this story -
First off, its a Damon/OC story because I simply love the idea of pairing up our favorite antihero and absolute looker Damon Salvatore with a character who wouldn't consider him to be a second.
Summary reads as follows -
Aralyn Klinsman had never known safety in her short life. She had never been ordinary and that was her biggest regret. When the safety of her beloved sister and her husband was compromised in order to get to her, she assumes the custody and care of her niece and nephew and moves to Mystic Falls, Virginia promising them the one thing she could offer and the only thing she constantly kept running from. - safety and love. Never had she once thought she would find both in Mystic Falls, the very same under the most extraordinary and complicated of situations with a man who portrayed himself to be uncaring, unsympathetic, inhuman and incapable of love. He was no other than Damon Salvatore.
Disclaimer - I own nothing which concerns the characters of The Vampire Diaries save the modifications to the plot and the original characters to this plot.

PROLOGUE:
The death of her sister had been a harsh blow on Lyn and only time knew how she would handle settling in her sister's shoes. Two months had coursed since the funeral of her beloved sister Lydia and her husband Arthur. Since then, her niece and nephew Amelia and Alec had lived under her care. The reason for their death had remained a mystery. A false story was leaked out to the near and dear ones which involved rash driving on a rainy night and an unfortunate accident, but Lyn knew better.
It was because they were special.
Special, just like her, just like Alec and Amelia.
They had been hunted in an effort to get to her, to get to their children. Another pang of guilt shot into Lyn's system like a thunderbolt. The feeling so strong, that it shook her very foundation. She looked at a sleeping Amy's face in the rearview mirror. She looked too young to lose her parents. Alec's face was expressionless. Earphones plugged, he gaze was focused on the picturesque scenery outside. Had Lyn not known him better, she'd have mistaken herself into believing that his mind was not elsewhere.
A defeated sigh escaped her lips as they continued their journey to the sleepy little town of Mystic Falls in Virginia. Anxiety about a million different things raced her mind. She believed she was cracking under the pressure, but she couldn't break. She had to be strong for them and for what she had promised to them – safety, security, happiness. Her shoulders felt heavy and tears threatened to spill but she pulled herself together.
Several hours of driving had exhausted the three of them, and it was only pertinent now to read the sign board as she took another turn to find a sign board which read in large antique letters, "Welcome to Mystic Falls, Virginia."
'It was about time'. She thought to herself.
"Rise and shine sweetheart." She called to little Amy as they made their way to 3185, Harrington Road, Mystic Falls, Virginia – the place she'd now call home.
Okay! I know this is a very very short piece, but things have only begun yet. Reviews would be my inspiration to write more, so please do review, I'll really be looking forward to them, to make my day!
Love,
Arnavi.
