Growing up, Rosalinda was alone. She didn't have any friends, she was always alienated. The only people who paid any attention to her was her family. But even then she still was the odd one out. Her siblings both and brown hair and brown eyes. While on the other hand Rose had black hair and bright caribbean blue eyes.

When she was younger her family went up to the Gilbert Lake House for a weekend in the summer. While her family went out on the lake, Rose decided to explore her parent's bedroom to see what secrets her parents were keeping from her. When she got into the room she went into the closet and discovered a hidden room. When she went into the room, the walls were lined with crossbows, guns and wooden stakes. She went further into the room and saw a desk filled with papers and files. She picked up one of the files labeled, Mystic Falls 1864". She went through every paper in the file, until she found a leather bound journal and discovered it was her ancestor's Jonathan Gilbert. She read about how he described the demons that paroled the night and drank the blood of humans. When she got to the last entry it was labeled "The End". What she discovered next changed her life.

The End 1864

I finally discovered what the demons that patrol the night are. They're Vampires. Yes, vampires I didn't realize or think that such creatures could exist. But it all makes sense now. We're rounding them up to night and putting them in a church and setting fire to it get rid of them once and for all.

When she got home, she immediately when up into her room and took out her ancestor's journal and read over and over. When she finished reading she decided to start writing in it from where her ancestor stopped.

A New Beginning 2007

Dear Diary, I discovered the things that hunt in the night, more known as vampires. I'm not surprised really, I always knew that there was more to the world than what we thought. I also read the tell signs for a vampire. Even though I'm sure they have found some way to be protected from the sun. There was also mention of some herb that could hurt a vampire and protect you from its powers, its called vervain. I have decided to start writing where my ancestor stopped. I'm basically going to document my whole life, like what he did.

Another Beginning 2009

Dear Diary, Today is the first day of school, and my sister Elena is worried that she is going to get way to many pity comments from everyone because of our parent's death. Luckily I won't have to worry about that because nobody talks to me. And as I said before it is the anniversary of my parent's death.

*Flashback*

Elena and I were waiting for our Mom and Dad to come and pick us up from the Bonfire Party, when a strange man came up to us and said, "Katherine?". We turn around to face him and I make eye contact with him. Something changed with me. I felt something that I've never felt before. I can't quite described the feeling but its different than before.

He turned his gaze towards me and said, " I don't believe we've met before, I'm Damon." he reached his hand out towards mine. I reached mine out as well and shook it, before he took it and placed a kiss on my hand.

Elena comes over and takes my hand away from his and says, "I'm Elena and this is my sister Rosalinda, but she goes by Rose for short."

I smile and give him a small wave. He looks towards me and gives me his signature smirk. I then speak up, "Yeah my name's Rose." He chuckles a little at my awkwardness. I laugh a little too.

"What are you girls doing out here anyway, all alone?" He questions while looking around for emphasis.

"We're waiting for our parents to come and get us." Elena states stepping in front of me in case she has to protect me, being the big sister that she is. "We were at a party thing for school." I say stepping out in front of Elena, being sarcastic too. He chuckles at me again, making me laugh with him, making Elena get annoyed. I look over to the road and see our parents driving down the road. I turn towards Elena and say, "Lena, our parents are here, let go home, Bye Damon." I wave at him before me and Elena start walking over to the car. He grabs my arm, making me turn around to face, I look up at him in the eyes he then says, "It was great meeting and I hope that I'll see you again, because I don't think I could ever forget you," he looks me in the eye, "but I don't want anybody to know that I'm in town yet."

I blink a couple of times and the next time I blink he's gone. I turn towards Elena and ask her, "Where did her go? looking around.

"Where did who go?" she says looking at me with a funny confused face. I look at her with confused face and say, "Damon he was just here?" she looks at me again and says, "I don't know anybody named Damon." I look at her again confused, and then the realization hit me. He was a vampire. I've never met one in real life, I thought he would try and kill me at least that's what according to my ancestor.

Elena looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" I was still shocked by that fact that Damon was a vampire and he tried to compel me, but luckily I've been taking vervain, that i found in my parent's room.

"Alright" she says, still unsure if I'm telling the truth. "Well Mom and Dad are here, lets go home I'm tired and want to go to bed" she gestures towards the car and starts walking to it, me following close behind.

Once we are in the car, I sit there silently still thinking about Damon and the fact that he was a vampire. I finally look up from the window and look out the front to see how close we were to home. I saw that we were barely on Wickery Bridge, when i noticed the shape of a man in the middle of the road. I frantically yell,"DAD WATCH OUT!"

The car swerves and we hit the railing, sending us plummeting into the water.

I frantically look around in the water to find a way out before I drown. I look over at my Dad and see him just sitting there, along with my Mom. I turn towards Elena and see that she's gone and her doors been ripped off. I start panicking and look towards my parents and see that they are dead.

I panic even more now. I keep trying to get out my seat belt but fail miserably. I move on to try to open my door, when all of sudden the door gets ripped off of its hinges. It's Damon, he swims over to me and rips the seat belt buckle and gets me out of the car. I start to panic because I'm beginning to stop breathing. He notices because he makes an effort to swim faster to the surface.

Once we reach the ground. I bend over and throw up all the water that was in my lungs. I then crawl somewhere and lay down on the ground. Damon then walks over to me and looks down at me and then proceeds to lay down with me. Once he was laying next to me, I look over at him and say, "Why did you save me?"

"I was nearby and heard the crash" He says looking over at me. "You're welcome by the way." he continues before looking back at the stars.

"Thank you," I say, "I know that you're a vampire."

He looks over at me in a look of surprise,and confusion. I continue saying, "I figured it out, when you tried to compel me and my sister, I take vervain just so you know." He's still staring at me with his beautiful ice blue eyes. He then says, "I thought all the vervain was gone." He states.

"Well its not" I say looking up at the stars. I sit up on my elbows and say, "You know if I'm being honest, I'm glad it was you who saved me, because when I looked at you I knew that my world going to stop being so lonely."

"What do you mean?" he asks me, I proceed to explain to him, "I don't fit in, at all, I have no friends, the only people who pay attention to me are my family, which I guess is mostly gone now."

I hear the sirens coming from the down the street. Before Damon left, he asked me, " Don't tell anyone I'm in town yet, also wait for me to show you don't have to be lonely anymore." And then he was gone. I laid back down on the ground, as I heard the sirens getting closer, looking back at the stars. I felt the tears start to roll down my cheek, knowing that I'm never going to see my parents ever again.

*End of Flashback*

I'll never forget about what Damon and what he did for me. I just hope I see him again soon, and he makes good on his promise. Because I don't know what it is but whatever I felt that night, I want to feel again. Somethings different when I'm with him.
