I don't own anything. I own only Katelyn Richards...

Present Days

I woke up smiling. The sun touched my skin gently. The sun supposed to hurt me, but thanks to the magic ring Klaus had given me it did no harm to me. In moments like this I thanked to all witches who did such tricks for us. But my dearest friend, Klaus, wasn't so keen on them. And there was a reason. Some bitch cast a spell on him and he couldn't transform into a werewolf. Personally I couldn't understand why he desired to be a hybrid so much. He was an Original, he was stronger than any vampire in the world. He wasn't weak like me. But I guess he missed something. I guessed that is life you want something that you don't have or you want something that you have lost. I looked at the scenery out of my window. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The rising sun, the crystal blue sky, the garden with the oranges was a picture that even the finest artists couldn't recreate. There was something magical in Italy. It was a country where the Renaissance started, where the greatest music was composed, where the greatest paintings painted. There were generations of vampires that lived there. An old friend of mine was saying: "There is nothing like Italy!" And he was right. But I could paraphrase his statement: "There is nothing like the Italian man!" The Italians were so passionate and something deep in me was dragging me to them. Maybe in a previous life I had a man who was Italian...My life was perfect, but something was missing...I had sought for the missing piece for over a century...But I never found it...I was so deep in my thoughts but my phone snapped me out. "Hello?" I said in an irritated voice. "Where are you, Kate?" On the other line was my only family Klaus. "Where are your manners, Klaus? No hallo Katelyn? Or how are you Katie? Straight to business, right? Well, I am not one of your puppies!" I heard him sigh, I've always got it my way... "Hello, Katie! How are you? Is everything OK, my dear?" He replied sarcastically. "That's much better, Klaus! Well, I am fine...What's up with you, my dear friend?" Maybe I was the only person alive, who knew how to irritate him to death. "Stop with the courtesy and the small talk, Katelyn! Where are you?" I knew him well enough to know that something was off. "I am in Italy...Klaus, is there something wrong?" There was a pause, which I didn't like. "Everything is perfect...Look...there is nothing weird around you, right?" "No everything is OK. Klaus, tell me, where are you?" There was another pause. "Does it matter?" Was ha that stupid, maybe he was. "Yes, Klaus, it matters to me...You are the only family I have..." The Klaus' weakness was maybe just one – family. And I knew how to use his weakness against him. "I am in a small town named Mystic Falls..." I stopped dead in my tracks. There was something about the name of the sound that sounded so familiar. But I was sure that I had never been there in my life. "Kate...Katelyn, are you still on the phone?" He snapped me out. "Yes...It just the name of the town Mystic Falls...Who is so crazy to name a town this way? It is like an invitation for every supernatural creature!" It was one of my nicest saves. "Katelyn, I have good news..." "Well, I am listening..." Even through the phone I could see him smile. "I broke the curse! I am a hybrid now and I created a few hybrids!" He sounded like a child, who just got his birthday present. "I am so happy for you. These are wonderful news!" I was truly happy for him. "Katelyn, take care of yourself..." There was something definitely off. "I will..." "Kate, I have to go...bye." "Goodbye, Klaus." I hung up, but there was something bothering me. It was this little town's name...Why did it sound so familiar. I decided to check. I lived in a small cottage, which had two floors. I lived on the second, and one the first lived an old man with his grandson – Angelo. Angelo's parents died in a car crash and the only relative he had was his grandfather. The boy was around fourteen, he was just a kid, but he saw so much in his short life. It wasn't fair. So I went downstairs to use Angelo's lap top and find every thing I could about Mystic Falls. When I enter the kitchen I only saw Angelo, eating his breakfast. "Buongiorno, Angelo!" I said cheerfully to the boy. I guessed he didn't expect me, because he dropped his spoon. "Buongiorno,signorina Richards." "Non ti dico di chiamarmi Katelyn?" I smiled at the boy. I had an effect on men. They always felt nervous around me. "Ci dispiace, Katelyn." "Angelo, mi chiedevo ... Posso usare il vostro portatile?" I smiled at the boy. He just nodded. I took the laptop and started digging up. It turned out that Mystic Falls was a small town in West Virginia, very close to the town, where Klaus had found me. What were the odds? Klaus was hiding something from me. When I was done I handed the laptop to Angelo. "Grazie, Angelo." I went to my room and started packing my clothes. When I was ready I called the airport in Rome. "Hello, how I can help you?" I was greeted from a woman with pleasant voice. "Hello, could you tell me when the first flight from Rome to New York is?" I waited about a minute. "The first flight is today in 20:00, there is not earlier, miss. Will you book a ticket?" "Yes, of course." "Tourist or business class?" "I prefer business class." "In which name should I book it?" "Katelyn Richards." "Your ticket is booked, miss Richards." "Thank you." I hung up the phone. I looked at my watch I had 4 hours to my flight. Enough time to drive to Rome.

Five hours later I was over the Atlantic on my way to New York. The business class wasn't full, which was good for me. The passenger next to me started a small talk with me. "So, what is going to do a young beautiful lady like you in America?" "Actually, I am going back home..." "Then the question is what were you doing in Italy?" I laughed quietly. "I was on a holiday." "So is someone expecting you back home?" God this guy was a therapist. "No, no one is waiting for me or meeting me. I decided to surprise everyone in Mystic Falls with my arrival..."

Translation from Italian to English:

Good morning, Angelo!

Good morning, miss Richards.

Didn't I tell you to call me Katelyn?

Sorry, Katelyn.

Angelo, I was wondering...Can I use your laptop?

Thank you, Angelo.
