HI! I'm actually really excited right now because my internet jut connected to my laptop for the first time in months! So I can finally start posting! I did an MTV Awkward FanFic, and I stopped really in the middle of the story at a inconvenient time and I get emails saying people are commenting and saying amazing things and telling me to continue writing for that story and I haven't been able to due to the internet thing. I don't live under a rock by the way, I have my brothers computers and I have my phone, just my laptop wouldn't connect (which I use to type stories on only, so my family don't read my fanfics). Anyways, I sort of lost interest in the MTV Awkward story after I stopped writing for a long time. But here is a new The Vampire Diaries one and I am happy with it, I mean not perfectly happy with it, but I think it's going okay and I am glad I can finally share! So, to summarise, sorry to any people who got annoyed at me for my other story and I'll see if I can write an ending for that one soon, in the mean time please give this a read with some reviews and favourites, anything you like it's all really so, so, so appreciated I love reviews! - UNIONWHO.
- It takes place in no particular time of the TV. Show. It doesn't follow any of the story lines of the show as in fights or vampire problems etc. Elena is a human and the rest should be explained any questions feel free to comment! I do not own anything to do with Vampire Diaries etc. Also this first chapter is king of the warm up, getting things started so please read atleast the second one before you get turned off - Thankyou, enjoy J -
It had been a week since she left her house. The only communication in her life was to Jeremy, only to reassure him she was alive. Stefan and her were over and it was the tip of the ice-berg. She was drowning in the endless ocean that was her life. Elena had been through a lot over the past year and a bit. She remembered the last time she was normal, she also remembers the night that all ended. Losing her parents turned her life in directions she didn't know existed. She thought things couldn't get any harder? Because, can a life of constant sadness and grief get any worst? She fell in love with a charming boy who dragged her into a new world in a lot of ways. She felt love and like there was a reason for another day, but another challenge was given to her when she found out that the boy she was instantly in love with was 145 years old and drank blood as though it was chocolate milk. Elena was unsure, could she really date someone like that? A vampire. But once she realised he wasn't just drinking chocolate milk because he was thirsty, the blood kept him alive and he needed it to survive. Like Stefan every vampire lived that way, including his older brother Damon. Stefan was a pure soul, he loved Elena and let her be herself and even though he would prevent her from getting wrapped into his dangerous vampire conflicts -or at least try to prevent- he would still respect her decisions and follow her. Damon was strong and powerful and fell in love with Elena and only wanted her to live her life, at the price of anyone else's life, as long as it meant Elena wasn't gone. But Damon was passionate, strong and honest with Elena always. It was an instant attraction sure, but their love wasn't instant it grew and changed as they did and it was always interesting and confusing for both of them. Because they shouldn't be right for each other but deep down they both knew that they were either really perfect for each other or the exact opposite.
She hadn't left her house in a long time. Finally realised it would be best to go and see Damon, who she expected wouldn't be happy that she was avoiding and ignoring him. Normally he would just force his way in and surprise Elena as she hid in her bedroom. However, he hadn't and she was curious why even though she was glad she had some space. Elena and Stefan had broken up and even though she was still struggling to admitte it to herself she knew deep down that it was because she was struggling to be in love with Stefan because her mind was too preoccupied loving Damon, and she couldn't explain or justify to herself why. He did terrible things, she knew that. But her attraction to him, not just psychically like it had been for a long time but it turned into an emotional thing too. She could see he felt so strongly and cared so much, despite how hard he tried to make out he was the exact opposite. He was honest and strong, every time he took steps closer to Elena she felt how passionate he was just by the way he held her and comforted her before she would tear herself away and be with Stefan. Because, after all, isn't Stefan the right guy? The good guy, the first one she dated, everything should be Stefan. But it wasn't. It was Damon and Elena was so nervous around him once she finally admitted it herself. Damon knew that Stefan and Elena had broken up, he hoped that meant he had a fair chance but didn't know why, at least not fully. Stefan fled town, saying he needed break. But he wasn't gone forever, Elena vanished away in her house after breaking up with him and it was her chance to see Damon just to re-assure him she was okay - knowing he would be worried- without running into Stefan at the Salvatore mansion. She cleaned up and opened the front door and the smell of thin fresh air burst into her lungs and she got into her car and made her way to Damon and Stefan's grand house.
She knocked at the big wooden door expecting to see Damon wing it open fully aware of the fact it was Elena because he could hear her heart racing from miles away. However, there was no response. Elena had a key to there house, it was her safe house from most vampires if all else went wrong in her neck of the woods. She swung the door open and slowly walked in calling out "Damon…" But to no response. She was nervous, Elena felt her breaths thicken. She always felt so safe around Damon, and she knew he loved her but she didn't know what would happen if she admitted her love for him back. Standing in the hallway flashbacks of the first time she met Damon bounce in her head. The black crow and turning to see Damon's ice blue eyes staring at her centimetres away from her nose. "Hi, I'm Damon Salvatore."She never expected anything of this, what normal person would? She fell in love with a vampire and now she was in love with his brother and everything felt so twisted. Her life of grief and sadness was multiplied, everyone around her died or got hurt. She hid away in her house for a week finally catching a break and finding the time to just be a normal hurt and confused teenager, why did she drag herself away from that comfort? Quickly before Damon got home Elena ran out to her car and sped off, feeling panic all in her body. She wasn't ready to leave the confides of her room yet. After returning back to her room a day passed before finally Bonnie and Caroline burst through her bedroom door with Jeremy behind them supporting their actions. "You're getting up Elena! You're coming with us." Caroline told Elena giving her no space to even ask where. Bonnie stormed over determinedly to the curtains and swung them open shining a bright light into Elena room revealing the take away containers and ripped up paged of drawings hiding in the darkness of her bedroom. "Where are we going? I don't want to, please." Elena pleaded."You've been up here for over a week, I've covered for you I've told everyone you needed space but it's getting out of hand, you need to face the world Elena." Jeremy had a point, wouldn't of been easy getting Elena the privacy she had had. "Tonight's Serena's bonfire party and we think it's the perfect time to come out with us." Caroline said with her 'matter of fact' tone that Elena realised she missed. "Even better, because cute guys and alcohol? Couldn't ask for better." Bonnie said pulling Elena up as Jeremy stood in the door way next to Caroline happy to see Elena slowly getting up. "Fine!" She cracked, "fine, I'll come…" Straight after agreeing Elena wondered if Damon would be there, but she didn't ask because her friends were defiantly pro Stefan and were defiantly not big fans of Damon in any way. "We'll be down stairs!" Everyone left the room and Elena went into the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror, nervous and anxiousness screamed across her face. She knew her friends were trying to help and maybe it would, she wouldn't know until she tried so she practised her best fake smile as she bent over and pulled out a bottle of alcohol from under her sink, her friend that had been helping her sleep during her bed ridden week. Knocking back a mouthful Elena knew that she would need a few more to get her through the night.
