Chapter 3: Ashley: Meeting Elena

The first day is always the hardest, I like to think anyway, on approaching the outskirts of Mystic Falls I began to wonder what the town would be like. Was it a big place. A small place? Who knows.

What I wasn't expecting was the black taxi right outside the town sign. The taxi was something to look at, it almost looked like a vaguely Victorian coach with a mixture of a modern Mini.

The driver on the other hand, this was something I wasn't expecting, my father had hired a chaperone for me. Not just any chaperone, a sontaraan. A humaniod that vaguely resembled a cross between a potato and a small human. He was wearing an odd assortment of clothes, by this I mean a black tuxedo with black trousers. He wore a black hat on the top of his head, which was hilarious.

I tried not to laugh as the Sontaraan got out of the taxi and bowed to me. He introduced himself as Strax, he was on leave from the Sontaraan army (although he wasn't really pleased with that decision) He was helping the Doctor as a favour. And he also struck me as easily confused because whenever he spoke, he called me a boy in some of his sentences.

After he was finished he then asked "where is it you would like me to take you?"

"Uh" I said not really knowing what to do "wherever I guess" at that Strax bowed and then got into the drivers seat of the car. I followed heading into the back seat.

As we drove I began to notice things about the town, it looked like an odd assortment of buildings, with houses lined up on every block. The fireplace was in the centre of the town and the police station was right next to it.

The car pulled up to what looked like a bar, it had words written on it that said in big red letters MYSTIC GRILL people were hanging around the bar, so this must be a local hang out for them.

I decided to check it out for myself. I told Strax that I would be fine from here and I got out of the car.

I opened the bar door and regretted it instantly. As soon as I walked in I felt like the people were staring at me, or like I was being watched. But oddly enough, the people that were in the bar were young adults, there were going about their normal day, chatting with their friends.

I spotted a table which had some seats empty, so I sat down in one of them. The table was far away from the people which was very good for me. I had no intention of letting myself get caught up with humans.

"So far so good" I said to myself and laughed, this was absolutely easy I felt like I could pull this off. I could easily pass off as a human.

And that is when she appeared. The Impossible Girl. The woman who almost ruined my plans. Almost. I say this, because this is when my first meeting with her occurred. At the Mystic Grill.

Elena Gilbert was tall and slim, she wearing bright red clothes and has had black hair and black eyes, her skin in this light looked almost pale. But I didn't care, I thought she looked like the most beautiful thing in the world. She had a smile on her face that said anything was possible.

She didn't know me then and I was grateful, because if she saw my face it would've probably freaked her out.

I hoped that she didn't see me or notice me, because otherwise that would leave me vulnerable and I couldn't let that happen.

"Please don't see me" I muttered, but too late, she saw me, and walked over. I didn't know what to do, this girl of all people was making me nervous for some reason and I didn't like it.

"Hey" she said with a soft voice, she sounded kind when saying it, but her tone had an air of curiosity about her "haven't seen you around before"

I couldn't think off what to say, so I went with the obvious "new in town"

At that she laughed, I liked the sound of her laugh "so you'd thought you'd see where we hang out?"

"Probably" I replied then I looked around and then saw some empty tables "or maybe I wanted my own space" I know that was mean, but I needed to do that. I couldn't become attached with anyone or that would ruin the mission.

"Just trying to talk" Elena said, she sounded disappointed by then she held out her hand "name's Elena" she held out her hand and I shook it.

"Ashley" I replied back, not wanting to talk anymore, but Elena stayed anyway. She pulled her hand back and smiled.

"So Ashley" she said "I suppose I'll see a lot more of you" I doubt it I thought, but really I had no idea what she was talking about. "College"

"College?" I said confused "never been" it was true I hadn't been to college, however this did provide me with an exellent opportunity to fit in.

"I'm applying to Whitmore tomorrow" she explained and then laughed "I hear they've got an amazing campus." She paused and looked around "I'm super nervous, but Caroline says I'll do fine" she still looked super nervous when she told me this "come with me tomorrow, maybe we can get you to apply"

Interesting I thought "I don't know, I'll think about it" but the something occurred to me, this may be the key to finding my brother after all. "Say you know what?"

"What?" Elena asked confused.

"Maybe I will" at that Elena had a smile on her face and then she laughed, which I had no problem with.

"This'll be great" she said with delight, she sat up and then said "I know I just met you, but I'm sure we'll be great friends"

"I'm sure we will be" I said nervously. Elena was about to walk away when I called out "you never told me your last name!"

She turned back and said with a flirtatious grin "tell me yours"

"You first" I said not knowing that she was flirting with me. But at that she smiled and laughed then walked away, presumably back to her friends.

"What have you gotten yourself into" I muttered to myself, but that didn't matter, cause I was pretty sure that I was in love with this girl. Which could be good for me, or a very big mistake.
