Disclaimer: I don't own the Vampire Diaries but I do wish!

Note: I'm gonna post this to see if it's worth writing, k? And I don't know when I'll get chapter two up because well…my grandmother passed away a few days ago…. *sighs*

~xXx~

I was running. There was little light, and with my dress flopping a little around my ankles, it made it that much harder to run. I was going vampire speed, trying to get away from the enemy. I never knew so much fear in my life…

I bolted, and I soon heard the soft wisp sound of my brothers and sister. I wanted to call out to Niklaus, Elijah and Rebekah. I knew that with the monster dead on my tail, my family could never help me… They were just trying to save their own skin…

The cool air of the morning set in, and the sun slowly starts to rise. A dark haired woman, who looks maybe 19 years old stood up. She glances around once, thinking, breakfast… She smirks when she caught scent of some nearby campers. She rushes off to get breakfast.

~xXx~

The woman soon enters Mystic Falls in hopes of finding something to do, and maybe have some fun. Her curly brown hair was in a sloppy pony tail and her clothes hug her skin. She notices that everything seems….off. "Hey you must be new! I'm Caroline Forbes!"

The woman turns around, raising an eyebrow. "Uh…hi, I'm Christie."

Caroline smiles at Christie. "So how are you liking Mystic Falls, Christie?"

Christie shrugs, glancing around the Grille. "Its fine, I guess. It isn't home, that's for sure."

"Oh don't worry! It'll be home soon enough!" Caroline giggles softly, smiling brightly. "Hey do you have a cell phone?"

"Err…."

"Stop scaring off the new girl, Care." Christie turns to find another girl, who looks just about Caroline's age. She hopes out her hand, "I'm Elena."

Christie takes her hand, smiling slightly. "Christie,"

Elena smiles at the girl, before she turns to her friend. "Let's get out of here before you bug the hell out of poor Christie!"

Caroline pouts, but nods. "Fine, I guess….see you later Christie!"

The blond and brunette leave the young 19 year old alone. She turns, as she walks over towards the bar. "I'd like whiskey, please."

"Coming right up," replies a husky manly voice. Christie finds a blond guy who was pretty buff. He just smiles at her. He hands her the glass of whiskey. "I haven't seen you around before, new?"

She nods, "Yes I'm new."

"Well I'm Matt, Matt Donovan." Matt says as he smiles at her.

She waves. "I'm Christie."

"Cool name, you don't meet very many Christies." Matt says, eyeing her for a moment.

Christie smiles, "That's just my nickname. My real name is Christianna."

Matt's eyes slightly widen. "Whoa, don't hear many names like that anymore."

She nods, glancing down at the cup of whiskey. "Yes, my parents wished for a nice name for myself… something not many people would use."

"Wish I had a cool name like that," Matt says, chuckling softly. "My parents picked Matt and there's a lot of Matt's around the school. I have never heard of Christianna before though, so that's really cool."

Christianna smiles at him, feeling like her face was heating up. "I guess you will always remember my name," She smiles. "That's a good thing, yes?"

He nods. "I don't think I could forget a pretty face like you."

She waves her hand in reply. "Oh Matt, stop it! You'll make me blush!"

He just chuckles, and they continue to talk.

~xXx~

A few days later, Christie was hanging out with Matt when he gets a call from Elena, saying that they needed his help. "Hey sorry Christie, but I gotta go…" Matt says, slightly sad.

She frowns, "Really? So soon?"

He nods. "Yeah Elena just called. She needs help."

"Why don't I come along? I'm sure I could help." Christie says, wishing and hoping that she could help her friend, Matt. "I won't bother you all, I promise."

Matt gives in. "Fine, come on."

~xXx~

They found out it was because of the Mikaelson family yet again. They were throwing a party which surprises everyone. Matt enters with Christie beside him, and Elena starts to talk to him about something but stops. "Christie, what are you doing here?" Elena asks, staring at her.

"Matt and I were hanging out, and he said that you needed help so I asked if I could come," Christie explains. "Is that okay?"

"No it isn't okay," Damon enters the room; ready to rant at Mutt- or whatever his name is- but stops at seeing Christie. "Christie, is that you?"

She smiles as she nods, "Hey Damon, long time no see."

"You two know each other?" Elena asks, looking between the two.

Damon chuckles. "Know each other? Heck, we've known each other for a very long time. She'll keep quiet."

"Why?" Caroline asks, "She is just—"

"A vampire," Damon says, causing a smirk to grow on his face, "And a powerful one at that."

Christie rolls her eyes as she smiles. "Oh Damon, you say so much!"

"You're a vampire?" Matt asks, looking at her with a sad look.

She nods. "I've been one for a long time, but yes. Are you displeased?"

"You kill people!" Matt almost yells. "How is that okay?"

Damon walks over towards Christianna, wrapping an arm around her waist. "Christianna doesn't kill people, Mutt. She's completely against that, though she does drink human blood. She actually taught me some of my best moves."

"Christianna? Her name is Christie!" Caroline says, rolling her eyes.

"She gets people to call her Christie because her real name is an old name." Damon chuckles.

Christie hits Damon in the arm. "Thanks for telling them all, Damon!"

"So how old are you?" Stefan asks, when he got there was unknown.

"I'm over a thousand years old."
