Chapter One.

Surely, Mystic Falls was named for their mysteries and myths. It's what keeps the town so driven and anticipating the next attack. The people of Mystic Falls are always going to be drawn to the town. Even if they leave, something keeps them from being gone for too long. They will always find their way back.

Something that the citizens of Mystic Falls were not quite used to was new people. Sure, new people moved in all the time. But usually families had a reason that they moved to Mystic Falls. Not just because of their history from back in the 1800s but because of hidden family secrets.

Mystic Falls is a very tiny Virginian town that was filled with huge secrets.

When the Wright family moved in to Mystic Falls, that's when people started to talk. What was their secret? What were they hiding? Who are they? What do they want? Are they relatives to anyone? Do we keep away? Do we be friendly? What kind of people are they? What are they?

In fact, the Wright's were actually very harmless. There was the dad, Bryan Wright, who was a writer with very many popular published books out. The oldest daughter, Arianna, picked up her father's hobby and frequently writes short stories, she's a beautiful, outgoing, and friendly girl. Then there was the youngest daughter, Johanna, who is very sporty, like her mother. She too, has a personality much like her older sister. Unfortunately, the Wright daughters did not have a mother. They did, but only till just recently did they lose her which is what urged them to move so quickly.

On Saturday afternoon, Elena Gilbert sat in her home writing a journal entry. Lately, things have been amazing. There was no "vampire drama" for the past couple weeks and her relationship with Stefan has been perfect. For once, things were normal and there were no surprises.

For now.

Elena had heard noise coming from next door and she had wondered what it had been. She closed her journal, hid it behind the painting above her bed, and went to go check it out putting on a warm jacket since it was cloudy and overcast.

She walked out the front porch to find a moving van in front of house 2105 Maple Street which was right across the street from Elena. She raised an eyebrow trying to get a closer look at who was unloading the van. There was a little blonde girl around the age of twelve with her hair in a pony tail and she was kicking around a soccer ball in the driveway. Standing in the garage was a man with glasses unpacking some boxes. The third girl, coming from out of the moving van had been carrying a box that seemed very heavy. Once she got to the driveway and set the box on the ground taking a short break. She was skinny and had very curly blonde hair that was up in a ponytail. She seemed about Elena's age and she looked like a friendly person. Elena, being the nice neighbor that she is, wanted to go over there to offer her help and welcome them to the town.

"New neighbors, huh," Elena heard the devilish voice from behind her. She rolled her eyes sighing and turning around to face Damon Salvatore. "Well go ahead Elena, be your friendly self."

"You coming?" She asked raising her eyebrows.

"They're not my neighbors," he shrugged along with his usual sexy crooked smile. He looked behind Elena's face and noticed the curly haired blonde watching her younger sister playing soccer. "But I would like to be friendly with her."

Elena scoffed. "Oh god, just stay here okay?"

She left Damon sitting on her front porch and she walked towards the new family. The blonde had noticed her as Elena made her way across the street. She got up and walked up to her. "Hi," Elena grinned. "I'm Elena Gilbert, your neighbor from across the street. I just saw the truck and I figured I would come and introduce myself."

The blonde smiled. Now that Elena had been closer she noticed her features. Her blonde hair was curly; of course, she had bright blue eyes like ocean. She was the perfect height and she had the perfect smile, the perfect skin and perfect body. Everything about her was perfect. This girl was absolutely flawless. "Hi! It's so nice to meet someone! I'm Arianna." She held out her hand to shake Elena's. Her smile was very contagious.

"How old are you? Are you going to Mystic Falls High School? That's where I go. I am a senior." She said as she shook Arianna's hand.

"Yeah actually I am going to go there. I am a senior, too. I start this coming Monday. You can actually call me Ari. It's my nickname. My friends back at home used to call me that." She caught herself, "I mean… my old home."

"I get it," Elena nodded. "Why did you move to Mystic Falls, anyways? We don't usually see new people."

"Oh, why did we move? Uhm, it's a long story. Maybe I can tell you about it another time?" The subject made Ari seem fidgety and uncomfortable. She pulled some of her bangs back and she focused her eyes on Elena's house. She noticed a man standing on the porch. He had pitched black hair and he wore a black V-neck with dark jeans. Something about him gave off a strange vibe to Ari. "Who's that man on your porch?" She raised her eyebrows.

"Oh him?" Elena turned around seeing him as he watched. "That's Damon."

Damon waved at them with his usually smirk. Ari waved back slowly. "Boyfriend?"

Elena laughed. "No, not at all. He's the brother of my boyfriend. Damon and I are just friends."

"Oh, that's cool. Who is your boyfriend? Does he go to our school?" Ari asked as she turned around to make sure that her younger sister, Johanna, was alright and not fooling around.

"Yeah, he does actually. He's really nice. You can come over one night and meet him if you want?" Elena asked. She didn't normally invite strangers to her house. But there was something that she liked about Ari and she was very sweet.

Suddenly, Johanna had kicked the soccer ball too hard and it went into the street. Johanna started to run after but Ari stopped her. "Hey Joey, it's okay. I'll go get it." Ari grunted as she headed towards the street.

Damon Salvatore had been observing the situation. This Arianna girl had been very interesting to him. He had no clue who she was or what she was exactly. But something about her drew him to her. He knew that he must get to know her.

He watched her as she walked into the street grabbing the soccer ball. Suddenly, Damon spotted a car speeding down the street right towards Ari. His eyes went wide and he ran extremely fast to get to the side. "ARI WATCH OUT!" Elena's voice shouted. Just as the speeding car was almost about to touch her, Damon scooped her up in his arms and they landed in the grass of her front lawn.

Ari was unable to comprehend what exactly just happened. Her breathing was heavy and all she could think of was the man that was holding her in a tight embrace – the man that had saved her life. It was the guy she had seen on Elena's porch. But how did he get there so quickly?

The both of them sat up from the ground, Damon still holding onto her making sure she was okay to hold herself up. Ari looked into Damon's eyes. "T-thank you, so much," she stuttered trying to make sense. She pulled Damon into a hug and he felt confused about it. He didn't hug her back – he wasn't exactly quiet sure how to react to her.

"Oh, no problem," he shrugged with his usual sexy smirk.

Everyone ran up to them quickly. "Oh my gosh, Ari," Elena said, tucking the hair in her face behind her ear. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, of course," she smiled. Ari had made eye contact with Damon – a contact that she didn't want to break. "I'm okay now."

Elena helped her to her feet making sure that she was alright. Ari had stood just fine. She noticed that she still had the soccer ball in her arms. She chuckled, "Here's your ball Joey. If I were you, I'd go play in the back yard."

"Good idea," Johanna mumbled feeling guilty as she ran inside through the front door.

"Look, Ari, why don't you stop by around five o'clock? We can go into town and I'll show you around. Maybe we can go eat at the Mystic Grill and you can meet some of my friends?" Elena offered with a friendly grin.

"Elena, I would love that. Thank you!" The two of the girls hugged and Damon stood there awkwardly with his arms folded.

"Alright then, I guess I'll see you tonight!" Elena had left it at that starting to back across the street when she noticed Damon hadn't been following her.

Ari turned to face him again. "Thank's… um," she had forgotten his name already.

"Damon," he chuckled.

"Yes! Thank you, again, Damon. It meant a lot," Ari flashed him a cute smile. "I'll see you around." She stated it like a question. She had wanted to see him tonight and she had hoped that Damon wanted to see her, too.

Damon put on his crooked grin, "I sure hope so."
