Chapter One: Welcome To Mystic Falls

A/N: disclaimer I don't own any of the vampires diaries characters or ideas, beside my own. Hope you enjoy. :)

Alex P.O.V

I was never one of those positive energy, good vibes only, out with the old and in with new people, who were so good at accepting change... but then again who is...But you'll think for someone who moved around a lot I'll be use to it by now. But some new part of me couldn't wait to leave my past behind me, my old life and just move on, even if it's someone I loved. I mean everywhere me and my family move to, I tried and failed with not getting comfortable and settling in so easily. But now here I am standing in my bedroom of five years and couldn't wait to leave it all behind me.

"Alex where are you?" I hear my mother yell from the hallway.

"I'm up stairs!" I yelled back, while standing over my sheet-less bed filled with pack boxes as I was taping up more. We've been boxing and packing up everything for over three weeks now, I just couldn't wait to get it over with. I'm pretty sure are gifted wrapping skills are overall amazing, with how many times we had to pack up and move over the years.

"There you Are. Are you almost pack yet?" She asked leaning against the door, I looked up towards her.

"Yeah. I just have a few more things then I'll be done. Is Tori done yet?"

"Yeah. she's just saying goodbye to some friends downstairs, I better go and get her before she becomes a crying mess." I secretly envy my little sister, she had friends. I wonder if I could even call my "friends" real friends. After five years of living in another small basic town, we were moving yet again. This time, West Virginia.

"You'll think she'll would be use to saying goodbye to people by now." I said shaking my head a little, with a small smile on my face. But my smile falter when my eyes dropped to a familiar picture. I picked up and examine the photo, in the read and black frame I painted. It was a picture of are Family, it was the only family picture that was ever taken inside this house. Most of the time, we would have a photographer take some at a studio with a basic backdrops, but this picture was...special.

Three Years Ago

"Hey mom, dad, have you see my new camera? I can't find it." I bellowed out, as it strolling into the living room, to see my parents and sister spread throughout on the sectional.

"Uhm-Yeah, try by the computer desk." My dad pointed behind him, not taking his eyes away from some really old ancient books laying in front of him. While others where scattered a cross the coffee table, with a few stacked on the floor beside him as one was laying within his lap. I went over to the computer desk, that was places behind the sectional couch as I spotted the camera immediately and picking it up.

"Found it!" As I walk over to the couch and took a sit in between Tori and mom, while looking through the pictures on the camera. "Hey!" I said getting there attention. "You guys know, we've never took a family picture in this house before." I realize, as I looked around the living room. We lived here for three years and we don't have any family pictures inside this house. We only had basic art pictures like flowers and landscapes up and place throughout the house.

My mom made a face. "Come to think about, I don't think we ever took a family picture inside any of the houses we lived in." She said looking at us all.

"Well let's start now."

"Whats the point? were just gonna move anyway." Tori complained, I through her an expressionless look. I decided to let it slide, since she's just a preteen, she only take pictures to look good, not for memories.

"Come on, Dad just got his own course at university of Rosewood." I express, try to get my point a cross. "And we don't have a family photo for this house...and that all I got." Giving up as I got the camera ready, not taking no for answer.

Everyone look weary. "Alex right." My dad throws his hands up, as he walked over and took a sit beside Tori, as we all squeeze in.

"Say cheez!"

I sat the photo down in a box, fill with bubble wrap. Its good we're leaving, because It wasn't like it wasn't normal for us, to make a home somewhere and a life, then pick up and leave it all behind and start all over again. But I guess this time it's different of us, we actually liked here...well use to like it. But this place was are home, the lasted memories we spent with are father was here.

"Honey, I know it's hard to let go, but think of this a brand new start for us." My Mother said, as she walk over and softly rubbed my back, while gently leaning her head against mine.

"A new start, like the last thousands times we moved around." I said in a dead pin voiced, and turn to her with a raised eyebrow. We moved over seven times, honestly I lost count at this point and I never cared to keep count after four. I remember when me and Tori was little, we use to guess how many number of times will move before graduating high school.

"Your father would want this for us. He would want us to try and move on with are lives." She said moving to take a seat on my bed. Yeah right. That's why his dying wish was for us to go and live out the rest of are days in some common small town he was born in. But never once cared to mention to any of us, for the seventeen years of my life and their entry marriage about this place.

"Sure Mom." My father had the tendency of moving use around since before I was even born, and even in death it seems he's doing it again. But I was trying accept the fact, that it was his dying wish we move back to his hometown of Mystic Falls. It's just... I never been or heard of until a few months ago. So I couldn't and still don't understand, why he would want us to go to a place he never mentioned to us or cared to visited it at all. Tori believed, that this was dad's way of keeping the memories we had of him in tack or wanting us to know more of are family history, or something like that. He used to be a history teacher, so I wouldn't put it pasted him to do something like that to us.

"Look I know it's been a rough six months and long summer for you, but I'm proud of you." she said.

"Understatement." Not in the slightest, did I believe I was worth being proud of in anyway. I was a complete train wreak and Party animal, I couldn't even recognized myself after my dad died or maybe even before then. The sweet, fun-loving, innocent, daughter who my parents and sister remember me to be was long gone and probably will never come back.

"But Alex, I do believe this is good for us. Can't you feel little it?"

"Feel what?" scrunching up my face in confusion.

"That this move, is the right one for once and that you may not realize this now, but you know it to." She said getting up and living the room, but stop half way at the door.

"Yeah. Sure." I hardly believe this move was good, but it's nice to start over ever now and then. As I try to make myself believe this will get better for us, for me. I've been try to stay positive for everyone sakes, but I was finding it more of a struggle each day. I mean, just I got back home a few weeks ago and I don't want anybody to worry about me.

"I love you Alex." She said, in a singing sweet voice.

"I love you to mom." I said quietly, barely above a whisper as I turn my back and face the boxes on my bed, while lightly biting my lips, trying to take my mind off of anything else, other then the saddens that clouded my ever waking thoughts.

"I'm going to see how far the mover got with the rest of the Things, okay."

"Okay." Hope, I need to stay hopeful.

"I can't believe were leaving." Tori said in a small voice and a sad look on her face. As we both looked up to the place we called home to for the last Five years, the plane White House with a big, green outstretched lawn that we know for years. But now looking at it the house, it just felt...ordinary.

"You act like we haven't done this a million times already." I turned and looked at her.

"Your right. Lets blow this popsicle stand." Tori said turning and walking toward the car, I look at her for a long bit.

"Alex you ready." My mom called out.

I look back up to the house that brought me so much happiness and sadness, with a neutral expression on my face. Things were already bad enough, how can it get any worser then losing someone you love and all the bad things in between. I was just hoping I could let go of all the bad things that happened this past year and not think about all the mistakes I made the past few months. Hopefully we can get back to being normal...well at lease close to that.

"Yeah." I turn from the hose and walk towards the car, leaving yet another one of my life memories behind me.

It was midday, when we arrived at are new house in Mystic Falls and quite frankly. I was exhausted from being up since six thirty in the morning, with barely a proper meal and being barked at, to pick up the pastes of my packing.

"Here we are guys. Welcome to Mystic Falls." Mom said to use, as we pulled up to a big white and light blue house with a red door on it.

"Oh goody...and don't you mean are house." I said flatly. After five hours in a car with only three brakes, I was slightly okay with skipping dinner just to go to bed and avoid doing anything.

"I can't believe this are house!" Tori said with a big smile on her face, while rushing to get out the car and running towards the house, were the movers were still bring are things in from the truck. I look up at my little sister, as she runs over and expected are brand new house, with a small smile on my face. It was good, as lease one of us was actually happy about a new start. I on the other hand, was nervous ass hell about a brand new everything. I was somewhat a little happy about it to, it means new school, new home and no one knows who I am. But if I learn anything from tv shows and my own personal experiences, is that small towns love to talk and gossiped.

"Why did you buy such a big house anyway?" I asked with a raise eyebrow. I would think after my dad pasting, she would want a smaller places then this one, like an apartment or something. But the house was nice and big, it was a light baby blue, with a white long railing and porch that stretched round and coved the whole front of the house, with three pillars on each side of the railing and fresh, white, painted stairs that was in the middle of the porch, that lead straight to the bright ruby red door. The house also had a white fence surrounding the front lawn, with a driveway on the right side of the house.

"I didn't buy it. It was in your father's family will that we get this place." She aside getting her purse from out the car and walk towards the house, I just inhaled deeply and followed her. I had a feeling that I will never hear the end of are Father past and all sorts of new surprises for us, or about a family we never fully meant yet. Some of them came to the funeral we held in Rosewoods, because my dad had more friends and people we know there, while others came to the burial we had here in Mystic Falls. We kept it small and simple, mom didn't want us to get overwhelmed with to many people showing up, but it's not like I would remember it anyways, it was all just a daze.

It was finally dark out, and after dinner I decided to start unpacking some of my something, when Tori decide to join me.

"Hey, you still up?" She ask softly, entering my room and taking a looking around it. I didn't plan on trying to get to much done, I'll probably try to go through everything as the week goes on. I just wanted to keep myself busy, I felt my anxiety rising as the day crept into night.

"Yeah, I couldn't sleep."

"Me neither...are you excited for are first day of school tomorrow." Tori said taking a seat on my bed and looking at me, with those chocolate brown almond shape doe eyes. We kind of got a late start on the moving, but the perks of having a teacher for a mother, they can vouch for you.

I looked at Tori with a small smile on my face, she reminds me so much of are Father and Mother, she look more like them then I do. I just always thought it was weird, that we had mom's eyes, but she actually had inherited are dad's color and hair texture, while I had mousy brown hair. Well I use to have mousy hair, that was to the middle of my back. I decided on to cut it, just over my shoulder with lose curls and dyed jet black...I mean, we can both past for being are mother's daughters, if I didn't have dye my hair and with Tori having actually black hair. But are father, that was a another story, he and Tori are definitely Father and daughter, there's was not denying that, they both have real jet black hair and chocolate brown eyes. While Tori and dad were twins, me and mom was fraternal twins, we shared brown hair and eyes, and smiler fetchers, but not quit the same.

"Um-yeah. You know me, new school new party's to attend to." I side, with a taste of dry humor and sarcasm dripping from my lips. Tori looked at me a little scared, with a worry expression on her around face.

I held my hands out in front of me. "I'm joking." I said nervously to her, trying to get that worried expression off her face.

"No. No. It's just I-" she was try to get out the proper words, believing she had hurt my feelings, with the look that appeared on her face. But truth be told it did hurt, but the only person that I could blame, is me...I cause that fear, the worry in her and mom.

"I'm kidding Tori, I'm fine now. You don't have to worry about me okay, I'm not going to self destructed or anything." I said trying to reassure her that things are getting better, that I'm getting better...well, at least trying...or faking it.

She only sigh lowly, with a look of exhaustion in her face. "It's just...your my big sister and even though your older then me by a year, it doesn't mean I'm not going to worry about you."

It was bittersweet hearing her say that about me, about us. After my father die, I wasn't the same, I start to to act out to comp with the pain, the loneliness. But even before then, I was always searching for something and anything to make me feel, complete. Going to wild Party's, doing drugs and drinking myself into the ground, fighting with anyone who pissed me off. Just to numb the pain that I was feeling, I lost good friends because of that and started to hang out with the wrong crowd and do things that I thought I would never do. But some part of me can't help but feel, that deep down inside that was the real me...chaos. But now I don't feel numbness, I felt guilty. I was supposed to be the responsible one and I wasn't, I guess I never was to begin with anyways.

"Tori I'm fine, this is a brand new start for us and it's not like anybody know my past anyway." I said hoping that they didn't, because the last thing we need is someone spray painting are lockers and being rude to are mom.

"I don't care what they know, I love you just the way you are, you know." She said grabbing my arm and looking up at me.

"Thanks T, That mean a lot to me." And it did, as long as I had my sister and mom that all I need it. I don't want the most important people in my life, to look at me with fear, doubt and worry clouding their eyes and thoughts. Even if my dad is gone, that was all we needed anyway, was each other. And plus, I wasn't expecting are life to change much anyway, it never did before.

We move to a new place, make some friend, stay for a few years, then move again, then the cycle repeated it's self. But for some weird reason, I felt this time was different from the last few time we moved or maybe it was wishful thinking. I know that this was good for us... But then realization hit me, I was sounding like my mother, I can't get my hope up...Two years left of high school, then I can go to college anywhere I want. But for now, I'll try to do my best to accept this new move, as best as possible. Not for me, but my mother and sister. Definitely after what I put them through, they needed it this, just as much as I did, maybe even more. Plus, I told my self that I would try, for them at lease if anything.

"Hey I was thinking-"

"Wait...you were thinking? You know that's dangerous, right!"

"No funny, ass hat." She said while laughing, as she lightly shoved me.

"But I'm serious. After school did you want to look around town with me?" She asked me while grabbing some clothes and helping me fold them up.

"Sure."

"Mom aside we're apart of one of those founding families, that found the town." Ever since My mom Laurel found out we were moving to are dad hometown, she made it her business to know everything.

"Ew, really?" I said with fake disused in my voice and my face, Tori gave me a look to take this serious just like she was. But it's uncanny, that we are just learning about this now, well for me it is.

"Yep, on dad side."

"God! Don't tell me she want us to start being role models and up standing citizens or that family who volunteer for bake sale and extra school activities. Like P.T.A meeting and stuff!" I said with disgusted on my face. But in all actuality, I was planning on try to keep a low profile...Loner girl.

"O'god no...the horror of it all." Tori said with fake shock on her face and holding her hand to her chest.

"I don't think are egos and reputations are big enough to handle the shame of being a popular "high" class, snobby, wealthy people...or Kardashian's." She said dryly with a big goofy smile broke out on both of are faces, followed by loud laughter. It was moment like theses, that made me appreciate still being here, alive. But also sad, that my father wasn't here to enjoy it with us. The best a part about moving to a new place, was that we were all together, never a part and I can't help but feel a peace of me is still missing. As I looked to Tori, who was still smiling.

"Why are you so smiley about?" I ask her, She lightly shrugged her shoulder, still having a small smile plastered on her face.

"I think it's destiny. No, fate that we are here." She side with big eyes and excitement in her voice. Oh great, here we go.

"Now your starting to sound like mom." I said with a wary look.

"No I mean it Alex. Can't you feel it?" She said gripping my hands and turning me, to face her.

"Your right, I do feel it." I said looking down to meet her eyes and taking my arms, and crossing them over my chested.

"See, I knew you would."

"That you and mom are in cahoots."

"WHAT!" She exclaim.

"Yep." I said shaking my head.

"Are you guy saying this stuff because your worried about me? Because if you are then don't. I'm fine." I said coming off more defensive then what I wanted, I didn't want them to worry about me, there's nothing to worry about. Things were great or getting there at least.

"Alex."

I only shook my head lightly. "No I mean it. Who would be happy about moving to a small town in Virginia, called Mystic Falls anyways." I said sarcastically as shrugging my shoulders.

"I just have a feeling. That's all."

"What You and mom. What are you, a witch's?" I jokingly said, trying to move on from the awkward conversation.

"Who knows, maybe I am." She had a small grin on her face.

"Yeah right, and I'm Harry Potter's long Lost twin sister."

"I'm serous though Alex. Don't you feel it, like I feel something saying this is the right move." She said still smiling. Ever since I could remember Tori has always wanted to stay in one place, me on the other hand was use to it. The perks of being older then her and less detached to people.

"Wait, I hear something." I said with shock on face.

"Really!" She said with a look of surprise on her face.

"Yeah...The sound of me snoring in peaceful sleep."

"Your, the, biggest ass I ever met." Tori said With a small smile on her face, As she got off my bed and start walking towards the door.

"I'm kidding, kiddo." I called to her, she stopped at the door and turned toward me and look at me unimpressed by my humor.

"I know you are. But just you know, no matter where we are, you and mom are my home, okay." She said to me.

"I know that, and your my home...I love you Tor... You know that right?" I said out to her, She look at me sadly and ran towards me and hug me tightly.

"I love you to Alex." She said in a small voice and pulled away with tear running down her face still holding me tightly.

"Hey, do you want to stay in here with me?...like a slumber party or whatever, we haven't done that in while." I secretly, I kind of need it. I didn't want to be alone, but was to afraid to admit it. I'm the older sibling and I didn't want her to see me crumble like a cookie at my past. If I have to pretend for them that I'm okay, then I'll do it...because If I could be a different person I would be.

"Yeah, But first we need get some ice cream, and a laptop for Netflix and some nail polish." She said, before running off to get everything we need it. I'm not perfect, but I'll try to be for her.

A/N: So I'm back with a brand new story, so welcome to book 1 of Blood and Desire, this takes places in season 1 of the show. I've had this concept in my minds for almost a year now and didn't know rather or not it would be a story. So I decided to write it out and see were it would go, first it was going to be and Klaus/Elijah love story, then I thought there's not enough Stefan love story, but then my mind went to Damon as well. Which led me to this, So I do have an ideas of who I want to be Alex love interest for the story. And once I get to that part of the story, I'll explains why I deiced on that person.

Right now I am currently watching TVD, and the person who I believe would who has the better chance in the running, I think you'll all will love it. I also feel like this story is going to be a bit of a slow burn and everyone will understand why. I love stories that are built on friendship then to lovers, so that's what I'm going for with this story. And I also maybe have a few ideas for Tori and Laurel as well, I want both of them to play a big part in the story. Also the inside interior of the Fell's house is based off of "Hannah Marin PLL house deign." Just to give it a feel.

P.S. - I'm still working on Jenny (A Girl From New Orlean), I just want to work on this first. Because I have an idea for both that I want to do, nothing to big. But my plan is to watch four seasons of TVD, then go rewatch the first season of the originals and start back working revising on Jenny. I'm doing it that way, to help me follow each story in order.

But also take my time between them as well, I also feel taking a break was the right idea, now I have more motivation and confidence on how to write her story. So I will update you guy throughout chapters, on my progress with each story and where I am at with them. I hope you enjoy the first chapter of, Because I have a lot of ideas in mind for what I want to for this story. Anyway I hope you stick around and enjoy the story make sure you leave a comment and review.
