An: Here's my new story, I have a new obsession with Vampire Diaries aha. Sorry if characters are a little ooc.
Disclaimer: I don't own the vampire diaries; I simply play with the characters to relieve my boredom.
Chapter 1:
"I'm sick of this," the dark skinned brunette yelled at her brothers.
"Wait! Don't go, we can fix this!" the man called back to her.
Her retreating form disappeared down the worn, dusty path. Soon she had vanished over the horizon, the only trace of her presence there was the dropped silver chain.
"I hope you're happy Niklaus."
~~~ (sometime later)
"My name is Elena Gilbert. I am a long lost niece. I am here to stay for my senior year. If anyone asks, I am your late sister's daughter Summary: What if Elena was not human. You will not question my presence or remember this conversation," she compelled.
"You are Elena Gilbert, my long lost niece. You are staying here to do your senior year of high school. I will not question your being here. I'm sorry what? I spaced," she said while under the hypnotic trance.
"Good that's done. Hello Aunt Jenna," she greeted politely.
"Hi Elena, I have missed you. I will show you to your room. Come on in," she invited.
Elena mentally shook her head at the mistake that this young woman had made. She followed the woman up the wood staircase. Her "aunt" opened a heavy oak door to reveal a bedroom. The furniture was dark wood. There was a desk, a bed, a chair, and shelf for books. The bed had a dark blue, almost black, comforter on it.
"I will leave you to settle in; the first day of school is tomorrow. Will you be going?" Aunt Jenna asked.
"Of course, they are expecting me. If you don't mind, I need to go shopping and pick up my car," the girl informed her.
"Do you need me to drive you?" her aunt offered.
"I'll be okay; do not worry about me," Elena told her.
With that, Jenna left the room and went to her room to read a book.
Elena walked the forest that bordered onto the edge of Mystic Falls. She slipped under the foliage's cover and sped vampire speed to the nearest big city. She bought a car, nothing to flashy and proceeded to the mall that was across the street. She had drawn out a sizeable amount of cash from her family's account from a public ATM machine as she did not want her brother's finding her. Not until she wanted to be found at least.
She found a little clothing boutique. She grabbed random blouses from the rack and many pairs of skinny jeans. The vampire picked out a new wardrobe for her senior year. She wanted to fit in, live a regular life for a year. Elena quickly took her purchases to the counter and handed over the cash to pay for it. She then carried her many bags to the new car. She drove quickly back to Mystic Falls, admiring the technology of the world now.
She smoothly pulled in to a spot in Jenna's driveway. She hesitated at the door, then pulled open the door and stepped over the threshold.
~~~ (the next day)
Elena found the high school with little difficulty. The majority of cars were driving to that one building at 8 in the morning. She scanned the parking lot and quickly found a spot that was neither too close nor too far to the doors.
"Excuse me," she said politely to a girl who was walking past her.
"Hi! Are you new? I haven't seen you around before? I'm Caroline," she asked enthusiastically
"Uh, yeah. I'm Elena; I'm staying with my Aunt for senior year. Could you point me toward the office?" the girl asked her.
"Just go in those doors and turn left. You can't miss it," she promised.
"Thanks," she smiled to the friendly girl.
She continued to the office. She had had papers and school records forged for her, as she didn't think that a record of her birth from a thousand years ago would suffice.
She handed the papers to the overly helpful secretary.
"Here are my papers. Register me for high school. Do not question me. All the information you need is here, you will not remember this or ask questions," Elena compelled the woman.
"Here's your schedule dear," the woman, Ms. Fell, as her nameplate read, said to her.
Now an official student of Mystic Falls High the girl left to go to her classes. She had English, math, art and history this semester. She found her locker and put her shiny new combination lock on it that she had bought for the occasion. Elena followed the girl from that morning who had said she had English with the same teacher as her. She cringed as the bell rang. It was such a shrill sound to her vampire ears.
"Hello class. Welcome to university English. I am Mrs. Seaton. Please come collect the textbooks that will be needed for this course now," the teacher instructed.
The teenagers all grumbled at having to get up and walk. 'Lazy humans,' she thought to herself. She retreated back to the seat she had chosen after grabbing a textbook. She sat in the back, beside Caroline.
"Hey! So where are you from?" Caroline asked curiously.
"I've lived lots of places with my brothers. The last place we were was Chicago," Elena told her.
"Is it really windy there?" she asked.
"Some days," she answered.
"Do you want to eat lunch with me and my friends? I'm sure they'd like you," the bubbly teenager invited.
"Sure, that should be fun. How many of you are there?" she wondered.
"Well there's my best friend Bonnie, then her boyfriend Jeremy, Matt Donovan, Tyler Lockwood, and Stefan Salvatore. He moved here last year, we went out a couple times but it didn't really amount to anything. So there are 6 of us, seven if you join our little group," she concluded.
"Well I'd love to join you," Elena accepted her invitation.
"Good! I'll find you later then," Caroline told her new friend.
The class went on and then the shrill bell rang again. She got up and found her way to her next class.
"Katherine?" a man called out to her.
"|'m sorry, did you mean me?" Elena asked confused.
"Sorry, you looked like someone I used to know. I'm Stefan," he apologized.
"No worries, I actually get that a lot. I'm Elena," she smiled.
~~~ (lunch)
"Hey, come on Elena!" Caroline called as she spotted her at her locker. Elena followed the effervescent teenager down the crowded hall to the cafeteria.
"Hey everyone, this is my new friend Elena," she introduced.
The people at the table all said hi and introduced themselves as she sat down. She noticed that both she and Stefan didn't have a lunch. Apparently Caroline noticed this as well.
"Do you not have a lunch?" she asked.
"I don't really get hungry at lunch, I tend to eat a big breakfast," she explained.
"Oh funny same with Stefan," she commented.
"So what is there to do around here?" the new resident of Mystic Falls asked her tablemates.
"Well we usually hang at The Grill and shoot some pool. One of the cons of a small town, not much to do around here," Tyler said.
"That sounds fun. I've never played pool," Elena admitted.
"Really? I can teach you if you come with us sometime," the blonde who said he was Matt Donovan offered.
"Oh thanks, maybe I will come sometime," she said.
The rest of the day went by uneventfully. Elena went home and told her new aunt that she was going for a walk. She was feeling a bit hungry, or thirsty if you wanted to be exact. She found this Grill that was mentioned. She strode into the bar, there was a pervert staring at her as she came in. He had a beer can open in front of him. She strutted over seductively.
"Hey babe," he slurred drunkenly.
She mentally scoffed. He thought he had a chance with her.
"Hey, wanna go outside with me?" she purred at him.
He slowly got to his feet and wobbled alongside her outside. She pulled him down a dark, narrow alley.
"You will not move or make noise. You will forget this and assumed you passed out after drinking too much," she compelled professionally.
Her fangs sunk down through her gums. She lowered her mouth to his neck and drank. She relished the flavour of the blood from his vein. Her control was impeccable, as it should be after all these years, and she pulled back when she sensed he was losing consciousness. She knocked him out and made to leave the alley.
A dark figure stood at the end of the narrow path, blocking her way. She made her way over, ready to compel the man in her way. She saw his blue eyes narrowed in concentration. Suddenly he lunged at her, taking her by surprise. He pushed her up against the wall of the grill. Elena could feel that his strength was no match for hers, but humoured him for a while.
"Katherine? What are you doing back?" the vampire asked confused.
"Sorry, still not Katherine," she chuckled. Then she flipped the table on him and had him pushed up against the wall. "Who are you?" she demanded.
"That's for me to know and for you to not find out," he said cockily.
She tightened her grip on his neck and repeated her question.
"Damon Salvatore," he answered finally.
"Any relation to Stefan Salvatore?" she asked curiously.
"He's my brother," he admitted.
"Interesting," Elena commented.
"Who are you?" he asked.
She debated on whether she should tell him her name. She figured he'd figure it out eventually.
"Elena," she answered before flashing out of the alley.
