2013, August
Dear diary,
Today the school started which means that the summer is unfortunately over. Back to the reality and the boring school…And the bullies which also means back to lying to my brothers that I´m just "very clumsy"… and of course back to skipping school and do what I want. I started with that last year and no one noticed. So why would they notice this year? Well, It´s kind of risky because if Damon finds out, I´m in big trouble. If Stefan finds out…Well he´s my brother but also my best friend (only friend) so no…Not very.
Diary, I´m invincible. I don´t get caught. But I guess sometimes I just wanted someone to notice me. I want to be special, but I´m not. My brothers are because they´re vampires. And I´m just a human. I´m just orphan-Annie with two vampire brothers. And of course the question about my parents. Who were they? I´ve tried, believe me, to ask Stefan and Damon and they have just told me that they´re dead and that they died in a car accident when I was born. They have showed me some photos of my parents. Well, I guess I have my mothers' hair. Maybe eyes. Otherwise I would think I was adopted.
Another question, how did my brothers become vampires? Well, after the car accident they met someone who´s name was Katherine who turned them. And now they can live forever.
Tomorrow I´m going to skip school and go to the mall. Not shopping of course. For the first time I´m going to steal.
"Wow." I said to myself. "So I was a thief?"
The sun was on its way down and reflected with orange color at the sea that swallowed it. I knew Stefan and Damon were watching me like two hawks while they tried to fry the fish they had caught. I made my way back to them.
"I need to tell you something. The reason why I ran away yesterday."
"Yes?" Stefan said.
"But you need to promise that you want hurt anybody." I said.
They looked a little confused at each other. Damon nodded.
"When I came here I met people that took care of me and I lived on a ship for about a month. I think they are looking after me and it was them I tried to find when I ran away. I need to find them."
"And what kind of people was it?" Damon asked suspicious.
"Pirates." I answered. "I really need to find them."
"What happened? How did you get separated from them?" Stefan asked.
Shit. I can´t tell them the stupid truth.
"We were walking in the jungle…and then some natives kidnapped me."
In my head I was rolling my eyes for myself. Natives?
"And how did you escape?"
"I sneaked away at the night when they were sleeping."
Oh god, I wonder if they buy it? Well, they both nodded.
"So what captain was the crew under command?" Damon asked.
"Killian Jones. We became good friends." I mumbled.
Suddenly their faces were very serious. Maybe chocked? And once again they looked at each other. But this time with a question on their faces.
"Is something wrong?"
"No. Not at all." Stefan said like he was suddenly waking up from daydreaming.
"Then what do you say? We find Killian and then he will for sure take us home." I said.
They looked at each other again. They were hiding something.
"Please tell me what´s wrong."
"Nothing. We start tomorrow finding our dear pirates." Damon said with a smile.
September 2013
Dear diary,
Today all went wrong. I got caught with the stealing and for the first time I was in a cell. Kind of scary. Actually very creepy. But you can´t compare it with Damons anger. Oh god. And can you imagine that when we came home from prison it became worst. Why? Because the school suddenly called and told him all about me skipping classes. And what more? Yeah, that my teachers were worried for me because I didn´t have any friends. Again, can you imagine? All shit at the same time. Oh god what Damon scolded me. Even Stefan was really pissed. So now I´m grounded like forever. Good job Annie, everybody hates you. And now I´m sitting here crying after my parents. Parents that I barely met. I wonder how it feels to having a mother. It must be wonderful. A mother that you always could give you advise about girl stuff and that comforts you if something bad has happened. Or a father that you always feel safe with and protect you no matter what. Sometimes I dream I´m a little girl again and that I have a mother and a father. But it is two completely different persons compared with my parents at the photo.
The plan was to walk at the beach around the island so we first could find the Jolly Roger. And of course was it a really hot day at the beach. God bless shoes!
"Are you sure this will work? We have walked since sunset and with no sign of a pirate ship." Stefan said.
"They´re somewhere around this island." I said. They must be, I thought as my grip of my diary hardened.
But the longer we went I began to lose my hope. Maybe they had just sailed away and leaving me.
"Ok. That´s enough. We stay here for the night." Damon said as the sun was on its way down.
"No we can´t stay now. I´m sure we will see the ship soon." I protested.
"We stay here. End of discussion." Damon said.
I sighed.
"Come on. We can´t give up…"
And then suddenly something grabbed my two arms and I was in the air.
"Annie!" Both Stefan and Damon yelled.
But before I yelled back to them I was already far away from them and when I looked up it was…It was a shadow!
He flew down again, in the jungle and then at a…camp full of kids in my age? Are you kidding me? The shadow dropped me down right in front of a boy with greens clothes. And his age? Maybe 16 or 17.
"Ah, Annie. Finally we meet." He said.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Haven´t you heard of me? They call me Peter Pan. May I, even if it´s kind of late, welcome you to Neverland. The land without time."
The land without time? What?
"You look confused. Well, let me explain the words. It means that you can´t age here."
Oh.
"How do you know about me?"
"Well Annie, it was me, or technically my shadow, who brought you here." Pan said. "Enough of questions. Take here to the cages."
The shadow grabbed my arms again and flew me to a cave at the sea. It was a big hole and then a big cage in the middle. He throw me in it and then he disappeared.
"Lass?"
A release came through my body as I heard the familiar voice. I turned around.
"K…Killian!"
He caught me in his arms and I smelled the safe smell of rum and sea. Then I started to cry like a baby.
"Schh lass, schh. I´m here now." He comforted and I felt somehow so safe.
