After spending the past millennium traveling and exploring every corner of this world, I finally decided to settle down in the lovely little town of Mystic Falls. I've seen everything and considered there was nothing new for me to discover and experience, and I was convinced that if maybe there still was, I would never find it in that pony town. I haven't been there since the year 912 A.C. It sure had changed from what I remembered. I owned a property on the borderline between Mystic Falls and the outside world. Not many people knew of its existence, most thought it was some kind of Natural Park because of the great amount of trees. It was key to keep a low profile, covering my tracks. In fact, the property was under the name of 'K. Inc.' which was a phantom company I created with the purpose of hiding my identity when it came to owning something. I had to cover my tracks legally so that humans wouldn't notice something strange. My brothers also did this, so as far as everyone was concerned we were a multimillionaire company that owned many properties around the world for 'research' matters. Besides, in Mystic Falls there were many mansions, the founder families, so mine wouldn't look so out of tune. I had servants living in my properties to keep things in order when I wasn't residing at the moment. And from what I hear from Carsson, my butler, I expected things to be perfect for my arrival. On January 4th I departed from Paris on my private plane heading towards U.S.A, the Virginia Airport. The flight was enjoyable, I had Champaign and sushi. The silence gave me the opportunity to fantasize about what would await for me in that little town. As I gazed out the window and to the beautiful blue sky I couldn't help but to feel a little lonely. I was celebrating the starting of a new life but I had no one to share the moment with. A great philosopher once said "We should end a life like we started it, alone". And with that in mind, I closed my eyes in hope I would get any sleep.
The pilot's voice pulled me from my train of thought, "M' Lady, we are arriving at the Virginia Airport." I couldn't get any sleep. It was a few minutes letter that we landed. I got down from the plane, followed by two men carrying my luggage. I was greeted by Carsson at 'arrivals'. He was wearing an impeccable black suit. He was in he's sixties. He's been working for me for 40 years now. He was always loyal, and he kept the house running. Of course it wasn't his job to babysit the eternal 19 year old landlady, but he did so. He occasionally poured water on my face when I was drunk and passed out, and made sure to dispose the bodies by morning. He was a fatherly figure for me; he always made sure I was okay. I waved and he smiled. As I approached he indicated the car with a gesture and I hopped in. It was a modern black car. Carsson sat in the front giving the driver instructions while I sat in the back looking out the window. Half an hour later I was asleep spread in the backseat. Cars always did that to me, I just couldn't stay awake in them.
After what felt like minutes but were actually hours, Carsson's voice woke me up from a dead sleep. "M' Lady, M' Lady. Wake up, we are entering the grounds." After some babbled complains I sat up and stared out the window. A fence bordered the property; its door was facing a small street with no houses on it. Gazing towards my house all I saw were trees. It was almost 2 p.m. so there was still light, but it looked quite dark. A large black metal door stood tall in front of us, two men pushed it open after Carsson told them to do so. A path between two dense masses of trees opened before us. I could hear the sound of the wheels against the tiny stones. Underneath the trees it was dark but little rays of sunlight went through the leaves making it look beautiful. We followed the slithering path that led us to a sea of green. On top of a low hill was my castle, yes, it was a castle. I had it built in the year 1630 A.C. but it was recently redecorated, so it was more modern on the inside. It was of a grey stone color and had seven towers. It looked truly beautiful, just like I remembered it. When we parked at the door of the house, a young handsome man opened the door for me. I got down and headed to the door were Carsson opened the door and started talking. I wasn't really paying attention; I was looking around the place. It sure had changed in the inside, but it still had its essence. Carsson said something about my future chamber maid; I think her name was Maria. He called for her and I met her for the first time. She was a short Hispanic young woman with jet-black hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a grey dress like all the other maids and her hair in a bun. She bowed and said "I am at you service, M' Lady" I nodded and dismissed her. After Carsson finished his long lecture of how the service worked and its dynamics, I took the liberty of exploring the house on my own. It was modern yet classy and it was filled with treasures from the past centuries. It had a Victorian type of decoration, chandeliers, vases, Persian rugs, silk curtains and more. I've learned through my life to spear no expense. After a long walk entering room by room I arrived at my bedroom. It looked the same; the only difference was that the sheets were from this century. I walked to the large window and looked at the garden. I could see many trees and horses. I remembered that if you headed north through the trees there was a lagoon were I used to play with my brothers. The water was crystal clear and there were flowers surrounding it. During winter time the water would freeze and we would slide on the ice and push each other around. I was pulled out of my memories by a faint knocking on the door. With a firm tone I said "Come in". And the door opened to reveal Maria with a silver tray in her hands. Slowly and with her head down, she entered the room.
"Do you wish for me to unpack your things now, M' Lady?"She said still holding the tray.
"Yes, I'll be in the drawing room. Unpack right away." I said as I exited the room.
I was sitting in the drawing room when she entered again with the tray. She laid it on the table and left with a quick nod. The tray contained a cup filled with hot cocoa and some biscuits. It all looked very tasty; I'm sure Carsson filled her in on my schedule and taste for food. I carefully picked up the cocoa and saw it had little pieces of chocolate lying on the foam, perfect. I grabbed the spoon and mixed them in and took a large sip. It tasted incredible and it was at the right temperature. I mentally thanked Carsson for having everything in order. I leaned and picked one of the biscuits, they were still warm. I took a bite and discovered they had cranberry jam inside, really tasty. I spend the rest of the day there, reading and enjoying myself. I kept it relaxed because the next morning I would head to Mystic Falls and explore a little.
