Chapter 4: Excuses
present day, Mystic Falls.
Victoria walked down the long hallway filled with lockers, by this time almost everyone was outside, and that was where she was headed. She pushed open one of the double doors and scanned the area to find Elena.
"Victoria, over here!" A voice called, it was Elena. Victoria walked over to the table and sat down.
"Guys, this is Victoria Smith, she's new" Elena explained to 3 others
"Victoria, this is Caroline, Bonnie and Matt... and you already know Stefan." She also explained.
"Hi." Victoria said.
"Hey" They all said together smiling
"So, where are you from?" Caroline said in a perky voice, flicking her blonde hair out of her eyes.
"A few places, I was in San Francisco before I came back" Victoria said flatly.
"Came back? You've lived here before?" Bonnie said curiously.
"Yeah, a long time ago, when I was little my parents, they were murdered. After that my brothers and I, we left, we stayed with... a lot of family members, but we moved between families and then my brothers got up one morning and disappeared and now I'm living with my uncle, and a few cousins." Victoria admitted.
"Wow, that's so sad" Caroline said "Well, tonight were all going to the grill, do you want to come? She finished
"Uh, yeah sure, sounds like fun." Victoria said back.
After School.
Victoria walked out of the front doors of Mystic Falls High and retrieved her keys from her purse, she continued walking and found her black Land Cruiser sitting in the parking lot 'the perks to compulsion' she thought to herself, she got in the front seat, turned it on and drove back to her house.
She knocked on the door until her eldest brother Damon answered. She put her hands on hips.
"So, how are we going to fix this problem, Damon?"
"What problem, Vic?"
"You know, how I cant walk into my own damn house!" Victoria screamed throwing her hands up in the air.
"Calm down! All you have to do is get Elena to invite you in, simple."
She glared at him and walked over to the chair near the window and sat down, Damon followed.
"You never told me why you were back, well you did, but I want the full story Vic, come on remember how close we used to be?"
"Yeah, I remember, and then you left me to fend for myself, I was all alone Damon, at least you had Stefan, and I will never forgive you for that!" She got up and walked to her car and drove to the Mystic Falls Grill.
Mystic Grill.
"Hey guys" Victoria said as she sat down.
"Hey!" Caroline and Bonnie both said together.
"So, how are you liking Mystic Falls High?" Elena asked
"It's okay, you know it is school, so..."
Elena giggled "Yeah, I know right!"
"HEY!" Elena yelled in a happy voice towards the front door of the Mystic Grill. Victoria turned around to see, her big brother Stefan he looked directly at her and stared, she smiled and waved acting like she didn't know him. He walked over and sat down next to Elena.
"So Victoria, why come back, all of a sudden? I mean to a small town like this!" Stefan asked her curiously.
"Well, I figured why not go and spend some quality time with my cousins, I have not seen them in a very long time, feels like centuries." She replied.
"Huh." He murmured. "I'm going to go get a drink, do you guys want something?" Everyone shook their heads besides Victoria.
"Yeah. I'll come with you" She said. They both get up and walked to the the bar
"What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" Stefan asked frustrated
"I told you, I wanted to spend some quality time with my cousins" Putting emphasis on the word cousins, giggling.
"I'm serious Victoria, It's been centuries, what do you want?"
"Can I get you two anything?" The bartender asked.
"I'll have a bloody Mary." Victoria said
"Can I see some ID?" The Bartender asked.
"No." She leaned in closer "Get me my bloody Mary, now." And just like that the bartender agreed
"What happened to you Vic? You used to be so sweet and kind, and once upon a time you actually cared" Stefan said
"Oh, don't give me that crap! You want to play that game? Fine. Once upon a time you used to be a heartless cold blooded monster who cared about no one! Only himself, and now your all clean and full of life and lovey dovey with Elena, shes going to get you killed Stefan, either that or shes going to break your heart, get real Stefan, You will never change, deep down that monsters in their all it needs is a little push!"
"Here's your bloody Mary, Miss." The bartender said handing her the drink
"Thanks" Victoria smiled and walked back to the table, as she was walking back to the table.
"Hey why don't we go back to Stefan's house?" Caroline said, looking excited
"Why? Do you want to see Daaaaammmmmooooonnnnnn? Bonnie said, changing her expression on the word Damon.
"Maybe!?" Caroline said, biting her lip.
"Wait, you and Damon? Together?" Victoria said smirking
"She wishes!" Bonnie answered for Caroline
"You know Damon Salvatore?" Caroline asked suspicious
"Uh, I... uh... I saw him yesterday." Victoria answered quickly.
"I think that would be a great idea to go back to Stefan's house" Elena said quickly "Stefan?"
"uhh... yeah, that's fine" Stefan said, quickly remembering any vampire couldn't enter without being invited it, and he wouldn't let Victoria be invited in!
What will happen at the Salvatore Boarding House?
