Chapter 1 [Pilot]
February 13
7:00 am.
Dear Diary,
Something awful is going to happen to me.
She stared at the line written on her journal. She didn't know why the idea had occurred to her, why she wrote something like that for no reason. She glanced at it for a few moments and decided to cut the line.
I don't know why I wrote that. It's crazy. There's no reason for me to be upset and every reason for me to be happy, but…
But, here I am at seven in the morning awake and scared. I keep telling myself that I'm all messed up because I'm moving in a new town. But that doesn't explain why I feel so scared… so lost, because I'm not going to be a total stranger in here. Elena Gilbert was Miss popular in Mystic Falls. I'm going to be the same in here.
I have just landed in Sea-Tac Airport. Yeah, Seattle is going to be my new home for a while. My dad wants me to study in Seattle University… as he did. So, I came in here earlier because I don't want to be a lonely loser in my college. I'll make enough friends before I start my college. I bet I'll be famous from the first day of my college. My dad has already brought me an apartment in here. My BFF Bonnie and I are going to live there though she is still in Mystic Falls now. Bonnie wants to spend more time with her family. She'll be in here before our season starts. So, I came here alone. Mom doesn't want me to be alone in a new town… in our new apartment. At first my mom thought to come with me, but she can't come here to live with me, because my dad's having a bit of a crisis in his business…and besides it'll leave my brother in there all by himself. So, I'm going to stay in my dad's old friend's house. Giuseppe Salvatore and my dad used to be the best friends. They both studied in Seattle University. I used to play with his daughter Helena and his son Stefan when I was younger. Helena, Stefan and I were friends since childhood. They used to spend every summer vacation with me in Mystic Falls. The last time they visited our home when I was 15. But I had never visited their place before… until now.
So here, I am sitting in this Mercedes. Mr. Salvatore has sent his driver to pick me up from airport. He is driving this car to Salvatore Mansion. I think my new life is going to be interesting. I'm sure Helena and Stefan will help me to make some friends in here. Helena is a nice girl… surely, she is popular in here… and has some nice friends like her. I can be friends with them.
Let's face the new life, Elena. You'll be great!
Elena...
Elena closed her diary and turned her face to see the outside through the window. The car was on a tree-lined lane, which was wide enough for two cars. Elena stared at the vast area of grassland. There were wildflowers on the grass… Beautiful…
Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothing's turned out how you wanted
"We are here Miss Gilbert", The driver told her. Elena turned her face to the windshield of the car and saw a palace like house. There was a fountain in the front of the house. It's lovely… she thought. She knew that the Salvatores were richer then they are… she'd heard about them back in Mystic Falls that Salvatores were practically royalties in town… but she had no idea. Suddenly she felt happy that she is going to live here. The car stopped in the front of the house. Then Elena saw a beautiful dark-haired woman standing on the front porch. Elena grinned as she recognized her childhood friend, Helena who was hopping up and down gleefully. The car driver held open the car's door and she stepped out of the car and walked smilingly towards her childhood friend…
"Helen… how nice to see you again!" she said as Helena came towards her and hugged her tightly. Then she moved and held Elena at arm's length. Helena looked at her from head to toe with disbelieve in her eyes.
"God… Elena you're really here! I'm so happy to see you again. Jesus, it's so not fair… you've become more beautiful than I remembered", Helena pouted mockingly. Elena knew that she was beautiful and everyone knew about her solo pride.
"And so have you Helen… you're looking more beautiful than I remember too", Elena said smilingly, looking at Helena who was looking more than just happy. She had an oval-shaped beautiful looking face, which was framed, with her curly dark black hair, her skin was silk smooth pale like, her eyes were bright blue and her figure is to die for. Elena hugged her friend once more and let out a girly giggle…
"I've missed you Helen…" she said.
"I've missed you too… God, it's been six years!" Helena said as Elena released her.
"Let's go inside. You must be hungry. Father must be waiting for us to join him for breakfast", She took Elena's hand in hers and they went inside. They entered in a huge and well-decorated dining room where Mr. Salvatore was waiting for them to arrive. As soon as he noticed them, he stood up with a warm welcoming smile on his face and moved towards Elena and his daughter.
"Ah… The lovely miss Gilbert has finally arrived. It's good to see you again. We've been so excited since we heard that you're going to live with us", Giuseppe Salvatore said smilingly and held out his hand at her direction. Elena smiled and reached for his hand.
"it's nice to see you again Mr. Salvatore and please call me Elena", She said shaking his hand.
"Well then… please take a seat Elena. We're having breakfast", The three of them took their seats in the table. Then they started talking about how much Elena was going to love this new town and her new life. Elena was already enjoying her new life in Seattle. She knew that she was going to miss her home and her family. However, she knew that she is going to be happy in here with Salvatore family. Helena loved her as her own sister, Giuseppe loved her as his own daughter and Elena knew it very well. Elena's parents knew this as well and that was why they sent her to live with Salvatore family so that she could have some good people around her when she'd start her new journey in Seattle. Giuseppe asked her about how his friend and his wife doing. Elena sadly smiled at him.
"They are fine… mom was upset about me staying this far away from home. She was scared that her little princess would be lost in Seattle", Elena said the last line rolling her eyes. They all laughed.
"Miranda does not need to worry about anything. I'll let her know that we're going to take a really good care of her little princess", Giuseppe said.
"Yeah dad said the same thing to her… but she hates that I'm staying this far away from her. I miss them already", She said in a sad voice.
"Elena my dear don't be upset. I know this feeling… I've been there. I missed my family as well. All of the Salvatore men have to stay away from their home for their studies even for business. However, Stefan was lucky enough to stay in here with his family", Giuseppe said. Elena noticed that he was upset for some reason.
"Hey, I almost forgot about him. Where is Stefan?" Elena asked. She hadn't seen him since she was been here.
"Oh… both my brothers are on a business trip. They'll be home later tonight", Helena told her. Elena knew that Helena had two brothers. However, she had never seen the elder one. All of the Salvatore men have to stay away from their home for their studies even for business. Giuseppe's words came into Elena's mind. Hmm… maybe that's why he had never visited our place unlike his siblings. Elena remembered her dad talking a lot about the elder Salvatore brother who had some business relationship with her dad. She also remembered that her dad was very fond of him because whenever he had mentioned him, he had a very proud look on his face. Even she remembered that her dad had used some great words to describe him… what was those words? Ah… 'The greatest man I have ever seen', 'The true heir of the Salvatore family', 'The brightest man in business world', 'The perfect CEO of Salvatore Enterprises Holdings Inc' blah… blah… blah…eww… I've always hated that man… with passion. Dad always lectured me to be more like him, to work as hard as him, make my family proud like he did. Really… am I that bad that I need to be compared to him. I wasn't meant to be compared to someone like him…because I am good…I was the best student in Mystic Falls…I made my family proud enough. It's not like my Dad didn't appreciate me properly, he really was proud of me…but I don't know why I've always envied him. Sometimes it sucked to think that my Dad was more like HIS Dad than mine… Elena always had imagined him to be a man who looked too old than his actual age, who's bald in his late twenties, who had a brooding face and a corporate look which implies that I-Work-Hard-24x7-So-That-My-Next-24-Genaration-Can -Easily-Live-Up-On-My-Earnings…A man so self-observed that he didn't probably ever consider spending a split of a precious second of his life with his family. Wait… then why had Helena always said that he was the coolest brother ever! How someone boring like that could be anyone's coolest brother? Maybe he isn't that boring… after all it's Helena's coolest brother we're talking about. God, I've no idea…
"So Elena… what's your plan for today? Do you wanna go out somewhere?" Helena asked her. Helena was beyond happy about Elena's arrival and she couldn't wait to take her out so that she could finally introduce Elena to her friends.
"I don't know Helen… I think I should have some rest now and then maybe we can go out somewhere tonight", Elena suggested. Elena was tried from the jet-lag. But she was also desperate to go out and start her new life as soon as possible.
"Oh, that'll be fine. We can go out to a bar. My all friends will be there and you know they're so desperate to meet you. I've spoiled them telling about you for weeks", Helena said with a big smile on her face.
"Really? I'll love to meet with them too. I'll be ready by the evening", Elena said and they agreed to go out in the evening.
Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You're doing your best and your best look
You're praying that you make it
Well, bless my soul
You're a lonely soul
'Cause you won't let go
Of anything you hold
Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
After finishing their breakfast, Helena took Elena to show her room. Elena was getting more excited with her new life because the room she was going to live in had everything a girl like her would dream for. The room was huge, even bigger then her own room in Mystic Falls. Elena walked through a door thinking that might be the bathroom, but she was in a vast empty walk-in-closet. Elena was getting more excited in every turn. She returned to the bedroom and tried the other door. Elena was more than happy with everything in the bathroom. Elena headed back to her new bedroom to check out the bed. Elena jumped into the big queen size bed. Hmm it's good… Elena laid on the comfy mattress with a loud thud and stared at the ceiling smilingly. She was happy… she felt like a true princess because the room she was going to live in would make any girl feel like royalty. Elena noticed a huge glass door in right sight of the room. She quickly jumped out off the bed, ran to the glass door and stepped out off the bedroom. Elena felt like jumping up and down with glee. She was in a huge balcony with a great view of the sea ahead of her. Elena walked towards the railing and stood there with a huge grin on her face. She knew that she was going to freaking love her new life because she was already in love with this place…
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it
Better than you had it
I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head
I said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head…
Music For The Chapter: Say, All I Need- One Republic.
Author's Note: Hope you liked it. I know the first chapter is quite boring… but trust me, someone's gonna make an entrance soon and he'll change the world… you know who I'm talking about, The-24x7-hard-working-CEO-of- The-Salvatore-Enterprise, the elder Salvatore, the bald guy ;)
I created a new character in my story, Helena, inspired by Christian's little sister Mia in 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. I desperately wanted some one to be very close to both Damon and Elena. I hope you'll like her character, because she is going to be a very special link between Damon and Elena.
Now, I think I need to explain their ages- Elena is 21, Stefan is 22, Helena is 24, Damon is 26 and no one is immortal (But, Delena is... *wink*)
Please follow, add favorite, review and let me know your thoughts and encourage me to go on… and if you have any question in your mind, all you have to do is ask. See you on the next chapter.
