Chapter 1

AN: This is my first time writing in over 4 years. First time writing a VD story. Bare with me. LoL.

I'm not normal. I've never been normal. Over the years I have learned to pretend to be something I'm not. Human. Being a vampire was not my choice but I try not to dwell on it. Hiding is what I do best. I have since the day I became a vampire long ago.

Sitting on my temporary bed. Unlike some vampires I chose a small, cheap apartment. I decided I need to empty the skeletons out of my closet. Going to the biggest skeleton of all. Damon Salvatore. I have searched everywhere for him and now he's in the last place I would have expected, Mystic Falls. The place where it all started. I should have known, laughing slightly to myself. As I start unpacking my clothes into the closet in my bedroom I grab my phone and call one of my friends, Kayla.

All I hear is the ringing on the other end before a cheery voice picks up the phone. "Jessica, I thought you would never call!" her friend exclaims making me laugh.

"I just started unpacking my stuff." I say in response. Kayla was very impatient but a very good friend.

"Have you paid him a visit yet?" she questions hoping to get some juicy gossip. Same old Kayla.

"No. I just got here. When are you heading out?" I ask missing my best friend.

"Soon but I have to go. I'll text you later." she says then hangs up.

I look in the mirror and wonder if I should go see him today. Shaking my head I head off to take a shower as the sun sets. Ready for the day to be over. After my shower I blow dried my long, thick, light brown hair and straightened my hair before bed. Looking at my phone I noticed in was 10 P.M. Sighing heavily I went to bed thinking of the coming events. How the next few days would be hectic and full of questions. Clearing my head of such thoughts I slowly fell into a dreamless sleep.

AN: I know it's short but I will make the next chapter longer. Review please.
