AUTHOR'S NOTE:
I just want to thank you for first off clicking on my story, it's a little nerve-wracking. This is my first story, it's a bit on the short side because I didn't want it to be too long, just a little background knowledge of my OC and such. That being said I'd just like to welcome any comments you may have regarding my story! I impulsively decided to write this in one night, ugh feels so good though! Also, if you would like to see who I picture as my OC it would be either Willa Holland or Natalie Martinez. Those two have a soft yet hard look to them and I couldn't decide! Anyway, if you leave a review about how you felt on this it would mean so so so much to me, hope you enjoy! (:
Dear Diary,
I don't understand why Rose makes me write these. All I can write is that we were led to yet another dead end. She says memories are worth remembering, but I don't understand. I get that we lose them after a while but why write them down? I'm a vampire. I'll have an eternity to make memories and forget about them. We are constantly on the move and we don't want to get attached to anything, never mind anyone, therefore nothing I'd want to remember. Whatever, off with the dramatics. I have yet to find him. We have searched high and low and nothing. So I decided I would part ways in order to keep them safe if I were to find him. It has been 3 years since I've had any contact with either Rose or Trevor. I miss them dearly. Here in a small town Pennsylvania is where I'd hoped to finally find something, nevertheless I had gotten nothing, I suppose I shall return to them now. Until then.
As I put my journal into my bag, I looked to my phone to see I had a missed call and voice mail from Rose. I brought the phone up to my ear to hear the sound of her sweet, british voice saying "Hey Lyd, I just wanted to call and give you the news, but since you did not pick up I guess I'll just have to tell you when you get here."She took a pause and pulled in a deep breath then continued. "Me and Trev miss you, it's time to come back Lyd. If you get this message, meet us at that abandoned house in Georgia, I love you." The voice mail ended. Thoughts ran through my mind of what the news could be, regardless I packed up my hotel room.
Once I finished I headed straight for my car-well a car I had compelled myself from a local dealership-and was prepared for the long trip ahead. Driving usually gave me the time to think. The first thing that came to my mind as I drove was how my family was doing, not Rose and Trevor, but my real family. I remember them staying in a small town called Mystic Falls. Rumors had spread of this small town now being infested with vampires, I wanted to check it out but never got around to it.
The thought of vampires around my family gave me an ping of nervousness. But I had no right to feel protective of them since they had no idea who I was. Who am I kidding? I don't care if I don't know them, they're still my family and need to be protected. I guess that was one thing I couldn't shake when I became a vampire, the will to protect my family. As soon as this business was dealt with, I suppose I should go there to check things over. It wouldn't be easy seeing them.
The last time I saw my family was in 1892, when I went back home to a place near Mystic Falls to see how my brother's grandchildren were. When I had gotten there, I had found out they were all slaughter at the hands of an "animal". The sight of the little children with gaping wounds on their necks broke me down to the core and I couldn't bare it. Anyone that knew about the existence of vampires could tell that this was no animal, but a monster, like me. In that moment, I flipped the switch, not being able to endure the pain. It was a steady roller coaster for almost 30 years. Without my humanity, I didn't think about my family because I had thought I'd lost them. Therefore, I thought I had nothing to come back to, until I was saved. The ones that brought me from the darkest parts of my self were Rose and Trevor. They saved me from myself.
From that moment on, I pledged myself to them. Determined to save them from an eternity of running, which is what brought me here. Driving all across the county tracking the men they were running from.
To do this I had to separate myself from them, hid them. I didn't want them giving me details of where they were going to keep them safe. But, seeing as Rose called me and told me where to go, I can only assume it's of utmost importance. I was ecstatic to hear her voice again, the thought of finally returning to them brought warmth to my cold heart. I can't imagine life without either of them, they were my family. I felt so blessed to be apart of theirs.
My thoughts were disrupted when I noticed a strange figure lying in the road. I hit the brakes and put the car in park, jogging towards the figure. Getting closer, I saw it was a man with a leather jacket, looking to be much alive.
"Hey, are you alright?" I called out, "Hello?"
I looked around and noticed a sign, it read "Welcome to Mystic Falls!" I thought to myself, how could I have gotten this far already, and to this town. Hmm, that was strange.
I was surprised when I looked down and there was no man. As I turn around to return to my car, I was caught by the throat and pushed up against it. This stranger had looked into my eyes, as if he were to compel me. What shocked me is that was exactly what he was trying to do. He stated "you're not going to scream, or run."
"Like hell." I snapped, my vampire reflexes kicking in. I twisted the mans arm and kicked him towards the forest. He quickly recovered, standing in a defensive stance-utterly confused I assume- "who the hell are you?" He demanded. But my focus was on those bright blue eyes, I couldn't seem to get them out of my mind. He took me off guard when he sped up to me and latched onto my throat once again.
"I'm certainly not dinner." I snapped.
The stranger gave me a confused and angry look before I again twisted his arm, only this time I snapped is neck after.
"Asshole," I muttered.
Well, looks like Mystic Falls was infested.
Getting closer to the house I was told to meet Rose and Trevor at was only making me more anxious. Something felt off, back in Pennsylvania I was so excited to see them but something was telling me not to be. I tried focusing on something other than either of them and for some reason I was thinking about that man. There was something so familiar about him, his eyes. I couldn't place where I saw them but I had definitely seen them before.
My thoughts of Rose and Trevor kept resurfacing, I was relieved when I pulled up to the abandoned house, no longer having to feel anxious. I slammed the car door shut and proceeded to walk up, noticing a rather large hole in the door. My nerves getting the better of me, I ran into the house and immediately looked towards the area where the hole was and there was nothing, but on the floor was what I assume was a coat hanger and mess that showed some struggling. I called out for Rose and Trevor but I didn't get a response. I went around the house looking for either of them, calling out their names desperately.
My heart was racing, I was trying to calm myself down when I came into a large room with a single couch.
I yelled, "Tre-!" and stopped short when I saw the horrifying image in front of me. There laid one of the most important people in my life, Trevor-with his head five feet from his body. I immediately gasped in horror, speeding towards hims I moaned. I felt like my heart was being torn from my chest.
"No.. no, no, no." I couldn't go any closer, I just ran.
I ran to my car and when I was inside the driver's seat I let myself cry. It was the most I've cried in 100 years. I couldn't stop it. Still sniffling, I pulled out my phone and dialed Rose's number. It reached voice mail and said "Rose! Rose, it's me. I don't know if you know what's going on but Trevor's dead. I-I can't believe he's gone, Rose." I let out a cry and tried to regain myself to continue. "Please call me back, I don't know where you are, but we need each other. I love you."
Crying out for Trevor, the only thing that kept me sane was the good memories of him.
"Hey Lyd, I dare you to get his number." Trevor said while smiling, pointing to a very attractive male near the bar.
I rolled my eyes,"C'mon Trev, can't you give me a harder one? We all know I'm the best with men." I laughed.
"Alright you two, enough with the dares." Rose smiled, acting as if she were our mother.
"Aww mom!" We both cried out. Rose just rolled her eyes and laughed along with us.
"You know I can't wait to get rid of you two?" Rose joked. "I'll be able to spend my time free of cleaning up after both of you!" This was my last night with them for a while, seeing as tomorrow I would head out in search of him.
"I'm gonna miss you both," I said getting a little choked up.
"And we'll miss you, Lydia." Trevor said. They both gave me an encouraging smile, so sure of me.
After I left the house, I went straight to a bar. I needed a drink, bad. I was debating whether to feed right now or not, I chose the latter.
I could only focus on one thing other than Trevor, and that was heading out to protect my family. The Lockwoods.
Mystic Falls here I come.
