~Mystic Falls 1855~

"Savannah! Don not go too far." Jessamine called to her ten year old sister. Savannah just kept going, she was always full of energy. "Savannah! Get back here!" She called again and ran after her.

The ten year old girl laughed and ran faster. "You cannot catch me Jessamine!" She called behind her.

They were running around the yard of the Salvatore home while their father was talking with Mr. Giuseppe Salvatore. Savannah was to bust laughing to notice someone in front of her. She ran right into him and she fell backwards. She looked up at the person she ran into.

"Hello Papa." She said smiling. He looked down at his youngest daughter and couldn't help but smile himself.

"I am sorry father." Jessamine said as she ran up to where they were. "She is quite fast."

Eli Gale let out a chuckle and helped Savannah stand up. "You girls need to calm down a bit."

Savannah laughed. "Alright Papa." Her father put his arm around her shoulders. "how have you been feeling today Papa?" He had been in pain ever since he was thrown from his startled horse almost three years earlier.

"I am fine. No need to worry about me Savannah."

"Are you sure your back is not hurting you father?" Jessamine asked.

"You sure have caring daughters Eli." A man that walked up with two younger boys said.

"I sure do Giuseppe." Eli opened his mouth to say more, but Savannah interrupted.

She had walked up to Giuseppe and put her hand out. "it is nice to meet you Mr. Salvatore. I am Savannah Gale." He laughed, but shook her hand.

"It is nice meeting you also. These are my sons." He gestured toward the boys that were standing on either side of him. "Damon," He said with his hands on the bots shoulders. "Is the oldest." He moved to the other boy, again placing his hands on his shoulders. "And this is Stefan, the youngest."

Savannah took a moment to look at the boys. Stefan was a little shorter that she was. He had light brown hair and green eyes. Damon was the same height as Savannah if not taller. He had dark brown hair and dark eyes.

Savannah went to her sister. "This is my older sister, Jessamine."

"It's nice to meet you Jessamine."

Dear Diary,

Today I met the Salvatores for the first time. They are actually much nicer than I had imagined.

Giuseppe Salvatore appears to be a kind, caring man. Looks can be deceiving however. There is just something about him… I do not know what it is.

Stefan… I do not really know what to think of him. When he was around his father, he was quiet, but afterwards when it was just him, Damon, Jessamine, and myself; he was like a completely different person. He laughed and joked, it was… quite pleasant actually.

And then there is Damon. When I first saw him, I felt something. I know that sounds utterly ridiculous since I am but ten years old. I am not sure how to describe the way my body reacted to him when I saw him there. It was as if everything in the world was on hold. I asked Jessamine if she has ever felt like that, she said she hasn't, but that is what it is supposed to be like when you are in love.

Me, in love? I do not even think I quite understand what love is. I know I love Jessamine and Papa and Mama, but… I am so confused.

Papa is calling me for dinner. I do not know if I will be able to eat.

Savannah Gale: June 24, 1855


AN:Okay, the first chapter is done and I still don't know exactly what's going to happen, but I'll figure it out. I know it's short and most of the chapters will most likely be short. I figure that way I'll be able to get them updated faster.

Please leave a review :D They are greatly appreciated.
