~ I was going to have this a shorter chapter, but I got carried away when I wrote the beginning.
~ Two people don't make a direct appearance in this chapter, one of the two will be in the next one :)

~ I am uploading this chapter while watching Doctor Who, so you can blame the show for the sort of late update. You can also blame the fact that I started to watch all the TVD episodes from the beginning. I already have the first 6 episodes of season 1 done... and if watch them the same way I did before, I'll be done with season 1 next week and done with all three seasons before season 4 starts.

ENJOY!

~Chelsea's POV~

I opened my eyes before slowly sliding out of my bed. This morning, I was actually in a good mood, which I hoped would last all day. Usually in the morning I would feel tired, but I felt awake and good. I shifted through my dresser until I found a light green tank top and a pair of jeans before going into the bathroom.

I never contacted dead people before and after last night I wasn't so sure. What happened was probably just because of the crystal, but I was still skeptical about doing it again.

I walked out of the bathroom with a towel around my head to find Anna sitting on my bed.
"I'm going to a hotel." She said as I picked some earrings.
"Don't you like me?" I fake pouted as I forced the earrings in.
"No, you're a complete nuisance." She said with a smile, which meant she was joking. "It would be better when my mom gets out that I wouldn't be staying somewhere that she would have to be invited in." I looked at Anna's expression and something clicked in my mind.
"You have a plan." I said. Her head nodded.
"The more people trying to find a way to open the tomb, the more chance we will be able to get it open."
"You're smart in your old age." I said before turning to the mirror, trying to decide how to style my hair. "But getting around the spell would require a witch who's willing to open it."
"I wonder where I can find one."
"I don't know." I said as I put my hair into a ponytail. "I actually want to meet your mom though." I said before I turned towards Anna.
"Good, because I was going to make you meet her anyway."
"It sounds like I don't have a choice."
"Nope." She said popping the 'p' before getting up off the bed. "You're my only friend."
"There's also Katherine."
"Yeah, but she doesn't count because I haven't seen her since 1983 and I've known you since you were five."
"And it's been the worst 12 years of my life." I said with a smile, joking with Anna.
"With friends like you, who needs enemies?" Anna gave me a hug.
"You have to call or text when you find something out about the tomb."
"Same with you." She said as she pulled away from the hug. I gave her a small smile before she walked out of my room.

I looked back to my mirror and decided to put some makeup on. It's not something I do too often, but I wanted to. I just put a little bit of eyeshadow and blush.
"Why are you painting your face?" Dylan asked as he stood at the bathroom doorway.
"Because I want to look ugly." I said sarcastically.
"You don't have to put makeup on your face to look ugly." I couldn't help but scoff at my brother.
"Gee, thanks." I smiled as I turned towards him.

I started to walk towards my closet, opened it, and looked at the freezer.
"It's okay." He said, which made me look towards him. "You need it now." I gave him a small smile before slowly opening the freezer and pulling out a blood bag.
"I never thought about having to drink this before having children." I said softly. I always wanted children. My plan was to wait until they were adult age before becoming a vampire. That way I would know what it's like to raise kids, have a taste of a human life before becoming a vampire. I knew what would happen to me when I took some of Anna's blood when Damon was on the porch. I knew what would happen when I would become a vampire, but I couldn't help but miss the things that I could do.
"Hey." My brother said softly before carefully taking the blood bag from my hands. He placed it on my desk before hugging me tightly. "Just because you can't have your own children doesn't mean you can't have any."
"It wouldn't the same." I said, holding back tears.
"That shouldn't make a difference." We just stood there for minutes in each others arms. "You can always take care of my kids."
"You can't have kids, you're a guy." I managed to say. He let out a chuckle, which made me smile through my tears.
"You know what I mean." He pulled away and I wiped my tears. "You are my sister and just because you're a vampire now, doesn't mean I love you any less."
"Thank you." I smiled, letting the tears flow again.
"This is probably bad timing, but I'm leaving later. I have to get back to my girlfriend." I just gave him a small nod before hugging him again.
"Don't be a stranger."
"Wouldn't dream of it." He pulled away and gave me a kiss on the forehead before walking out of my room.

I grabbed the blood bag off of my desk and drank it slowly, while making sure I wouldn't be late for school. My mind wanted to drink the whole bag fast, but I remember that Anna told me to control it. If I can make myself used to drinking slow from the bags, I could handle the hunger if I were to drink from a person.

I walked into school with sunglasses on my head, like a headband. It was probably useless, since my hair was in a ponytail, but it helped to keep stray hairs out of the way.

I stood at my locker, making sure I had my books for the first half of the day.
"So Chelsea," I heard Tyler as he leaned against the lockers next to mine ", what time should I pick you up tonight?" 'Such a jock' I thought.
"I was planning on getting a ride from Elena." I lied. It's not that I didn't like Tyler. He seems like a nice guy, but he can come off as a cocky jerk.
"Okay, then I'll meet you here." He said before walking away. I made sure I had everything in my backpack before I started to walk away.

"Chelsea." I looked behind me and saw Elena and Bonnie. "How are you doing?"
"Good considering Damon stabbed me." I said to Elena.
"Elena told me everything." Bonnie said. "I can't believe that you're a vampire." Bonnie whispered 'vampire'.
"I'm also a witch." I whispered to Bonnie. "I was born like that. Which reminds me." I looked at Bonnie. "I was talking with my mom last night and she said that when Emily Bennett gave birth, she gave birth to twins. One twin stayed here and the other one moved up north." I looked between her and Elena. "The twin that stayed here lead to your family and the other one lead to mine." Bonnie looked at me with shock and surprise.
"Does that make us related?" She asked. I nodded.
"We are like cousins."
"Supernatural cousins." I gave Bonnie a small smile before looking to Elena. "Can I get a ride to the career night? I told Tyler that I'd get a ride from you and I don't really want to ride with him."
"Sure." Elena said with some unsureness in her voice.
"Thanks."

The school day went fast. I could tell that Bonnie was a little freaked out about vampires being real, but you couldn't really blame her. With how Damon acted towards her and not wanting to be a witch in the first place, it's surprising how she wasn't really scared.

When I got home I found that my freezer was full. My mom said that while I was at school, Anna stopped by and re-filled it. I had a feeling that something might happen so I decided to have another blood bag before Elena picked me up.

On the way to the school, she gave me the heads up about another vampire being in town. She told me that Stefan told her during the lunch break.

I was looking around at some of the booths with Tyler. He insisted on holding my hand, which after a while I was comfortable with. We stopped in front of a booth that was for comic drawings. I looked at the pages as Tyler flipped through them. When he stopped at one I looked at it. It looked like it was a bald super hero going for a punch.
"I drew this." He said, which made me surprised.
"It's good." I said as I admired it.
"I know." Tyler said with a cocky smirk.
"There are some out there that are better though." I said, hoping it would deflate his ego a bit.
"I doubt it."
"While you think about that, I'm gonna go to the bathroom." I slipped my hand from his before I walked away.

The career night began to feel boring when I realized that I'll never be able to have a career. Sure, I'd be able to have jobs, but never something that would last more than a couple of years. I would have to move when people realize that I don't age. I'd be older, but they wouldn't know or be able to tell. Anna never really stayed in one place too long, so it wasn't a problem for her. It would be for me though because I tend to stay in a place where I know my way around. That was the only reason that I was against the move to Mystic Falls, but once I got here, I liked it. Not just because of the friends that I've made but I also like it better here.

Sometime during the night, Tyler went home, leaving me at the school without him. Elena had texted me, telling me that she was going to the Boarding house with Stefan, but that was awhile ago. I have been at the school, by myself, when I noticed I forgot something in Elena's car. I slipped out the school and made sure no one was looking before I decided to speed off the boarding house.

I got to the boarding house and saw Elena coming out in tears.
"What's wrong?" I asked, but she kept going towards her car.
"I have to go." She said before opening the drivers side door.
"No." I said, which made her look at me with confusion. "You are not driving like that." I took the keys from her hand with force. "Get in the passenger seat." I said before slipping into the driver's seat. Elena got into the passenger seat and buckled up just as I started the car.

I drived Elena's car with her in the passenger seat in tears. I decided not to bug her on what happened because if she wanted to talk about it, she would have said something. We drove for a while before a person appeared in the middle of the road. I turned to avoid him, but he went against the car. After that I had no control. The car flipped over with me and Elena inside.

When the car stopped, I looked over to Elena, who was coughing.
"Are you okay?" I asked. She nodded and I turned my head towards the now broken window. I saw footsteps walking towards us.

~ Although Stefan and Damon don't make a direct appearance in this chapter, Damon will be in the next chapter. I'm not 100% sure about Stefan, but we'll see how it goes.
~ Chelsea/Damon fans will be pleased with what I have planned for the next chapter.
