~ Here is the second chapter. I thought that there was a lot of people that decided to follow this story... but not a lot of reviews. Those that did review didn't leave any helpful/constructive reviews.

~ A few people from Dani's past are in this chapter... and they should be in most of the future chapters.

ENJOY!


Danielle's POV

I drove in my purple convertible with the roof down so I could feel the wind through my hair. It amazed me how much things have changed in two thousand years. One of the things I did like was the different was of transportation and communication. It made it easier to travel and still being able to contact with the people you met along the way.

I looked to the side and noticed a sign.
'Welcome to Mystic Falls'
I couldn't help but smile, remembering the last time that I was in the town. Mystic Falls was one of many cities that I enjoyed visiting. It was one city that never really changed, even after two thousand years.


I parked in the parking lot of the Mystic Grill. After making sure my convertible was locked, I made my way into the Grill.

The place was busy, or at least it seemed busy for the place. My eyes skimmed the inside and I couldn't help but noticed the back of one of the people. 'Could it be?' I asked myself before walking towards him as I read his mind. 'It is him' I thought as I got closer to him.
"So Damon Salvatore, " I sat down next to him, which made him look towards me "...longtime since the 70's"
"Danielle." He said after recognizing it was me.
"You know I prefer Dani." I gave him a smile before giving him a hug. Damon and I met In New York during the 1970's.
"How have you been?" He asked as he orders the both of us a drink.
"Good, considering." I gave him a small smile. "Looking for my ex again, trying to do good, the same old stuff." The bartender gave us our drinks. "You?"
"My best friend died, I got the girl and my brother hates me for taking her from him."
"So where's the infamous Stefan Salvatore anyway?" I asked as I took a sip from my glass.
"Right here." A familiar voice said from behind me. 'Don't tell me he's a doppelgänger' I thought to myself before turning around. That's when I saw him standing in front of me. 'I'll never get over how much doubles look like the original' I thought because all I could think of was Silas.
"Hi." I said, trying to read his mind. When I didn't get anything, I thought it was strange because it always worked. "I'm Dani."
"Let me guess...short for Danielle?" I just gave Stefan a small nod. I couldn't help but start to think that Damon's girl was one of Amara's doubles.
"Damon, I just remembered I have to do some stuff, but I'll talk to you later." I semi-lied to him. I was going to talk to him later, but I didn't have anything to do. I chugged the rest of the glass and walked out of the grill.


When I got outside, I couldn't help but think that Stefan was one of Silas's doppelgängers. I sat down so it looked like I was resting as I tried to figure out what was going on inside. It didn't take me long to figure out that Stefan had been gone for the whole summer, but what I couldn't figure out is why I couldn't read his mind. The only people that I couldn't read minds of was the Travelers and members of the Five. Stefan was obviously a vampire so that meant he was neither. 'Why can't I read his mind?' I asked myself before noticing from the corner if my eye, that he walked out the Grill. When I turned towards him, I saw him looking at me. I just gave him a small wave before getting up and going to my car.


My mind kept going through reasons I couldn't read Stefan's mind. 'He couldn't be....' I couldn't help but think. 'After two thousand years, he can't just show up just when I'm starting my search for him again.' I kept my eyes on the road, but my mind was still thinking about him. It took me a few moments to realize that there was someone standing in the middle of the road. I turned to avoid hitting them, but I ended up crashing into a tree.
"Damn it!" I yelled at myself before slowly getting out. "You're going to cost so much to get fixed." I murmured to myself when I saw the damage to the front of my convertible. I could always get it fixed for free, but I didn't want to do that unless I really had to. 'What about the person?' I looked back at the road and didn't see anyone. 'They have speed' I couldn't see them, which meant they sped away or they're hiding from my site. Instead of trying to pick up someone's mind, I went to the trunk to make sure everything was okay. Some of the boxes where toppled over, but nothing seemed broken. I let out a sigh of relief before realizing that I couldn't drive my car.

I went to the front of my car and pushed it away from the tree. The damage was worse without the tree covering the it. I put my hand in my pocket, pulled out my phone, and dialed someone.
"Damon, I need a ride." I said after he picked up.
"How did you get my number?" He asked.
"I have my ways." I said without telling him I picked it up when I read his mind at the Grill. "I kinda crashed my car and I need a ride."
"You're a vampire... get your own ride." Damon said and I rolled my eyes.
"You know I don't like being called a vampire. I can get my own ride if I wanted to... but if I remember, you still owe me a favor from the 70's."
"And your deciding to bring that up now?"
"Yes. Now hurry and bring something that I can use to attach my car to yours." I hung up on Damon and then I realized that he didn't know where I was. I quickly texted him my location so he would know where to go.


~ Damon and Dani are friends, which will play a major part when I get into the events that start around chapters 7 and 8. Some of the events of the story will be influenced by the season 5 events but with obvious changes (like not killing Silas or Tessa).

~ I hope there are more helpful/constructive reviews on this chapter. Please leave your thoughts of who was in the road when Dani crashed, why she's been having the dreams about Silas and the others, when her and Silas will have more scenes together, if/when the others will find out about her connection to Silas and whatever else you want to leave in the reviews. The bigger and better the reviews... the more likely I'll post chapter 3 tomorrow instead of Tuesday.

~ I'm also going to update Love Changes Things later so I hope you can check that story out (: Don't forget to review!

R&R 'till the next update
