Dear Diary,

My evil mother gave me this thinking it would help me express my emotions. I think she wants me to write down everything I don't tell her so she can sneak in and read it later, but she can't because I spelled it shut, ha!

Anyway my mom wanted to move back to the place she grew up in, and she hasn't been back in decades. It's a small town in Virginia called Mystic Falls. So now I have to start my sophomore year of high school at Mystic Falls High.

Dad was here a few weeks back to visit his mother's grave, but won't be here for a while, he had to do some 'Katharine stuff', and I have no idea what the means.

We just pulled up to the Salvatore Boarding House, so I better go.

A black Ferrari pulls into a long driveway that leads into a beautiful field surrounded by ancient pine trees, in the middle of the field lies an ancient boarding house that has an ominous sensation surrounding it.

The Ferrari pulls up and stops in front of the house. A slender girl of average height stepped out of the car. She has sun kissed hair that falls in waves down her back, and crystal clear blue eyes that remind people of the sky on a cool summers day, but they reveal a certain wisdom that can only be obtained through age. She moves with a predatory grace.

A teenage boy, who appears to be around the girl's age, steps out of the passenger's side of the Ferrari, he is 6 feet, and lean but muscular. He has dark brown hair and stormy blue eyes that hold a glint of mischief. He is wearing a smile that boarder's creepiness.

The two teens grab their bags from the car and walk up to the foreboding front door. The girl knocks firmly on the front door.

She takes a step back and stands next to the boy. The boy has his cellphone out and is playing angry birds on his phone. The teenage boy smiles every time one of the green pigs gets hurt.

The door opens and a man who appears to be in his early thirties is standing on the other side. He is 6 feet, muscular, has kind blue eyes, and brown hair. He smiles at the two teens standing on his doorstep and asks, "Hi there, how can I help you?"

The blonde girl flashes him a bright smile that is blinding. "I'm Caroline Forbes, and this is my friend, Kai. We are looking for a place to stay, and we were told that you have plenty of rooms to spare." The blonde girl explains.

Kai briefly looks up from his phone to glance at the man before giving his full attention to game.

"Forbes, are you related to Elizabeth Forbes by any chance?" The man asks.

"No sir." Caroline answers.

The sun begins to dip in the horizon painting the sky in purple and orange hues and elongating the shadows of the trees.

The man seems deep in thought, but man smiles, "Well this is a boarding house, but it's no longer in business. But I guess you guys can stay for a few nights."

He steps back and gestures for them to come in, "Come in before it gets dark. By the way, I'm Zachary Salvatore."

Caroline smiles and grabs her bags before stepping through the threshold into a foyer that leads to gigantic living room with dark hardwoods, antique furniture, and a beautiful fireplace. Kai follows and almost runs into Caroline due to being absorbed by his phone.

"What a beautiful home you have Mr. Salvatore." Caroline comments.

"Thank you, but please call me Zach." Zach says.

Zach shuts the door and locks it, "Well if you'll follow me I'll show you where the guestrooms are."

Caroline and Kai follow Zach to a staircase and then down a narrow hall before he shows them two doors. "If you need anything holler. And my nephew is staying here, so if you run into him don't be alarmed." Zach says.

"Thank you so much Zach, we really appreciate it." Caroline thanks.

"Do you have an pork rinds?" Kai asks.

Caroline's smile falls and she hits Kai on the arm, causing Kai to flinch.

"Owww." Kai whines as he rubs his arm.

"Sorry about my friend, he says stupid things." Caroline says,

Zach gives the two a curious look,"Its fine, and I don't have any pork rinds." Zach says before leaving.

"I want the bigger room." Kai says as he looks at the first room.

The first room is huge, with a king sized bed, a fireplace, antique furniture, a bookshelf that is brimming with books, a desk with a Mac, and a spacious en suit. The second room is of similar size, but with a different layout.

Kai looks in both rooms a few times before Caroline sighs and just walks into one.

"Hey." Kai whines, upset that he didn't get to pick.

Caroline turns around and says, "Spell your room, I don't want Stefan hurting you. Due to his diet he probably won't know exactly what we are until he is in the house."

Kai rolls his eyes before agreeing, "Fine, but I need some more power."

Caroline holds her arm out and Kai engulfs her wrist and tries to gently take her power. Caroline is used to the sensation, but still winces. Once Kai has enough he pulls away and murmurs, "Sorry mom."

"It's fine, but remember our cover story." Caroline says.

"Sorry Caroline." Kai says.

A/N I know Angry birds came out in December 2009, while The Vampire Diaries season 1 episode 1 came out in September 2009, but this is AU so it's not that accurate. Just for the record, Stefan's on the bunny diet so his senses aren't up to par.
