The Ribbon's Threads


Disclaimer: I do not own and VD characters. I only own my own, Shailene Pierce. This is actually my first fan fiction I plan on sharing to other writers and/or readers. I will first start off with Shailene's life before we view the actual story that was viewed on t.v. I am open to all criticisms and advice on writing and be easy on me please, I am writing from only parts of history i've seen in the season so far. So! Shall we begin? Enjoy!

Chapter 1 - This will change my life forever

I felt myself being lightly shaken. I slowly opened my eyes, sheets of sunlight radiating through the trees as I gazed out my window to the left. I shifted my head and fluttered my eyes to look beside me to my sister, Katherine Pierce. She slowly smiled at me, eyes bright and sparkly.

"We're almost there." She spoke softly.

I slowly nodded and adjusted my bonnet. Katherine gripped my hand. I looked at her and smiled. She did the same. Soon the carriage came to a slow halt and the door opened. Emily nodded and exited the carriage and down the steps first. Katherine shuffled next and gave Emily her hand, slowly stepping out of the carriage. I was next to shuffle over and extend my hand, careful not to accidentally step on Katherine's blue dress that was still trailing behind her.

"You must be Miss Pierce." A soft voice said.

" Please. Call me Katherine." My sister responded politely with a courtesy.

They stared at each other for a moment before Katherine stepped aside slightly to make room for me. My eyes began to wonder on their own before I noticed that a young man approached in front of me. My eyes gazed into soft green eyes and I warmly smiled at him.

" And you must be the other Miss Pierce." He said with light humor.

I let out a soft laugh and followed with a courtesy, "Shailene."

" My name is Stefan Salvatore. Welcome to the Salvatore home." He bowed to us and led us into the house. Katherine held my hand as we followed. He gave us a short tour of the house. Dining room, kitchen, library, offices, bathrooms, and finally rooms.

" Miss Katherine, this will be your room." He led Katherine to the right of the staircase to the room at the end of the hall. He opened the door for her. She walked in and gave it a quick look, then exited. "My room is next door." He pointed at the door just to the right of the stairs. "My father's." He pointed to the first door on the left of the stairs, on the left side. "My brother's room is next to my father's." He walked down the hall and pointed to the second door on the left. "And this is your room, Miss Shailene." He opened the door across from his brother's room. I smiled at him as I walked and inspected the room, opening a pair of doors that revealed a small balcony. It held a small table and chair with a cushion.

" I heard form a reliable source that you like to read outside." I turned to see Stefan smile sheepishly. I nodded and glanced at my sister. Her face was scrunched slightly, but she looked at me and smiled. She never did really like heights.

" Where is your father and brother?" I asked.

"He ran out to run a quick errand. He'll be returning shortly. My brother will return tomorrow from his trip."

Stefan then politely excused himself to let us get settled. Katherine quickly kissed my cheek and left. I sat down at the vanity table and untied my bonnet, placing it on the space on the table. Untying the ribbon from my hair, I let the waves cascade down my back. My gloves were next to come off. I let my fingers and wrists crack as Emily walked in to put away my dresses.

"Tis' a bad habit, Miss Shailene." I sighed and turned to smile at her. Though Emily was our handmaiden, I treated her as if she was my best friend or family. She grinned at me and continued to stow away my dresses. She left and soon enough Stefan knocked on my door.

" My father would like to meet you both."

He walked down the hall as Katherine grabbed my hand and followed Stefan down the steps. A man with gray hair and a strong face stood at bottom of the stairs. He smiled as we approached.

" Ah! The Pierce sisters. My name is Guiseppe Salvatore. It's a pleasure to have you here. I hope you are comfortable in your rooms?"

We both nod and he smiles.

" Dinner will be ready soon." He nodded and walked into his office.

Emily had joined Katherine and I on a quick evening walk around the Salvatore garden. Her and I speaking of "dinner" plans as Katherine smelled the evening air. We joined together for dinner and ate with short conversations. Katherine and I claimed to go out for fresh air. She smirked before she ran at full inhuman speed to catch our real dinner. I swiftly followed her. Finding a man maybe around his thirties, she gracefully ran behind him, covered his mouth, and changing into her vampire form, sunk her teeth deeply into his neck. She knew. She knew I was such a big softie towards humans. She knew I felt guilty to feed on an innocent human being. After drinking half of his blood, she released her grip on his neck and motioned for me to come towards her. I was swiftly by her side in seconds. She placed the man in my arms. I inhaled deeply, changed into vampire form, shut my eyes tightly, and bit into his already open wound. I drank the rest of him and laid him down. Katherine had cleaned her lips of blood and had begun to clean mine. She dried the tears that slid down the veins around my eyes.

" We need to feed, love. Just like they do. If not, we'll simply die." She spoke gently.

I simply nodded twice and let her dry the rest of my tears as I returned to my normal form. I helped her rid of the body and we walked back together hand in hand. The time was for bed. Guiseppe murmured a soft goodnight before heading off to his room. Stefan kissed Katherine's hand first then mine and disappeared into his room. I kissed each side of Katherine's face and wished her goodnight before heading into my own room and tucking my self in for the night.
