Chapter 1

NOTE: This story doesn't follow the storyline of the show I just use the characters -which I don't own- my first TVD fan fic so hope you guys like it let me know what you think - L xox

I don't know why I was so attracted to this little town of Mystic Falls, it was in the middle of nowhere, deathly quiet and not a single sign of any place for retail therapy. I don't know what it was about it, I could feel it drawing me in closer and closer, I just couldn't bring myself to drive straight through it, and was more than a little curious to find out why.

It was around 8pm, it had not taken me long to locate the one and only bar in this place, creatively named The Mystic Grill - come on seriously! - apparently not looking old enough to drink I managed to "charm" the bartender into looking the other way, and now sat on a bar stool gently tracing my finger around the rim of my glass creating a quiet hum, I just couldn't understand what brought me to this place.

After a while a heard some young voices from outside, something that so far seemed sparse in this town. Glancing up as the door opened a group of about 7 teenagers walked in, as I was about to draw my attention away, I noticed one of them was not a teenager but very much a man, as I looked at his face I felt the pull -the pull that had stopped me passing through, the pull that had confused me so much until now- surge in my chest.

I quickly looked away while I still had the willpower to do so, but not before I noticed him returning my gaze, I could almost feel his piercing ice blue eyes on my skin. I let out a laugh to myself "A guy Kali, it's always a guy"

I slugged back the rest of my drink, standing up and tucking some cash under my now empty glass. I walked to the door, I was getting out of this bar before I did something I might regret, I'd find out more about this guy later when I could control myself, which until I got used to this feeling was definitely not happening. I wasn't leaving I'd just need to lurk for a few days to adjust.

I knew one thing for certain - apart from the fact he could possibly be the most attractive man I'd ever laid my eyes on - I knew exactly what he was, I'd played with his kind before, in fact that's exactly how I ended up the way I am now.

Climbing into my car, turning on the stereo and speeding off I decided I need to find somewhere to stay for a while, there must be some kind of hotel around here

-Damon POV-

I arrived at the grill as I did most nights, I'd planned on coming alone to escape the unbearable giddiness of Stefan friends - more precisely they were Elena's but they were practically the same person these days- that seemed to fill my home for the past week or so, but they insisted on coming too and I wasn't interested enough to put up a fight, the grill has alcohol I don't care much about anything else.

As I walked in the door I suddenly felt this strange feeling take over me, and could feel eyes burning into me, I lifted my head to see where it was coming from. When I found the source all I could feel was my chest tighten as I caught her eye for just a second.

She sat at the far end of the bar looking more than a little out of place, her hair was almost impossibly black, it was long and hung pin straight cascading down her back, I only saw them for a second but her eyes were a deep ocean blue in contrast with my own, her features where practically perfect, from her flawless skin to her thick dark eyelashes. Dressed all in black, a girl with good taste right down to the leather jacket and knee high boots she wore.

Suddenly I snapped out of my trance as I realised I was staring at her, hoping no one else noticed I took a seat next to Stefan. As I order my drink I couldn't stop my mind racing confused as to what was going on, as much as I wanted to, I didn't give into the temptation to stare again, not wanting to draw anyone else's attention to her.

After around 15 minutes I decided I had to talk to her or at least know her name. I finished my drink standing up and waving the empty glass at the rest of them so they didn't ask where I was going. Bracing myself for the feeling in my chest to return, I took a breath and turned to look for her.

She was gone.
