Hey, my name is Raven Gilbert and I am 17 years old. For the past 2 years I have been staying with distant cousins after my parents died, But I miss home, My fraternal twin Elena, And my younger brother Jeremy. So here I am back in our home town Mystic falls and I am beyond nervous to see my family again. Oh yeah, I am at the local bar/cafe right now and I have definitely missed this town.
"Is this seat taken?" I look up and meet a pair of bright blue eyes "N-No" I stuttered...The man laughs and sits across from me "I'm Damon Salvator, You are?" I smile "Raven Gilbert" A look of surprise crosses his face "Gilbert? Are you related to Elena and Jeremy?" He asks and I nod nervously "Y-Yeah Elena is my fraternal twin and Jeremy is my little brother" He smirks and looks into my eyes "And I'm just meeting you now? Where have you been?" I blush and laugh "I was staying with my cousins a couple of towns over, Sorry how do you know my family?" He facepalms making me giggle "Oh! Your sister is dating my brother Stefan" My jaw drops "Huh, Did not see that coming" I smile and he smirks "I could give you a ride to my house if you want" I tilt my head "Your house?" He realizes that he sounded weird "Oh, Duh! Your sister has been staying with us at the Salvator boarding house for a while" I smile "Yeah sure you can give me a ride" He laughs and I follow him out to his car.

"So what brings you back to Mystic Falls? I mean apart from your family?" Damon asks about 5 Minutes into driving "This might sound weird...I feel like my sister needs me, Now more than ever...There's an urgency to it and I can't explain it" I see him raise his eyebrows "Sorry I know we just met and now I already sound like a weirdo" I laugh and he scoffs "You? A weirdo? No..." He smirks and I laugh "Hey I'm fine with it normal is boring" I smirk as the boarding house comes into view.
"Wow it's beautiful" I gasp all but hanging out of the window "Wait until you see the inside" Damon smirks and parks the car.

20 Minutes later we are about to walk inside Damon insisted he shows me around the garden. "How long has it been since you saw your sister?" I puff my cheeks out "Uh about 2 and a half years" I smile sadly "I suppose we should hurry inside then hm" I nod as he opens the door and I follow him into a Living room area.
"Raven?" I walk fully into the room and see Elena on the sofa "Elena!" I scream, Run to her, And hug her. "I've missed you so much!" I cry into her shoulder "I've missed you too" She cries pulling back, We both start laughing hysterically.
"Your Mascara!" We yell together and this makes us laugh even harder, We are pulled back by a cough "Oh right sorry, Raven this is my boyfriend Stefan" She introduces and I turn to him "Hey I'm Raven" He smiles an overly kind smile "Nice to meet you finally, Elena has told me so much about you" He offers his hand and I take it but hold it very tightly "Then you have probably heard I am very protective of my sister and if you hurt her I will murder you" I turn on my serious face "I would never dream of hurting Elena I love her too much" I smile "Good then we shouldn't have a problem!" I take a seat on the opposite sofa "Is this you back for good?" Elena asks sitting back down beside Stefan "Yeah Elena I'm not going anywhere, Now wanna tell me what's going on with you?" She tilts her head "What are you talking about?" I laugh "Elena, You and I have always been able to tell when something is bothering the other one and I have been sensing something off for months" She looks at Stefan and Damon "Can I talk to you guys for a minute?" The 2 boys nod and all 3 walk out! "Ok, I'll just wait here then...".

10 Minutes later they walk back in and Elena sits beside me "There's something I have to tell you and to be honest you probably won't believe me" I sigh "Come on Elena when have I never believed you?" She nods "Ok, A lot has changed since you left this town is different, The world is different now. Vampires, Werewolves, And Witches exist" I laugh "HA! Good one you almost had me fooled" Damon is suddenly beside me "Want me to prove it?" He asks "Uh I mean that would be helpful" He looks into my eyes and his face changes, He has red eyes around his iris, There are veins under his eyes, And he has fangs..."Woah!" I get off the sofa and back away toward the door "Elena! What the hell!" I can't believe this "Raven please don't panic! Stefan and Damon are friendly" I laugh sarcastically "Ha, Right nice Vampires...I have to go" I run out of the boarding house and don't stop, Ignoring the unknown eyes I can feel on me.
End Of Chapter 1, I know it is short but I really wanted to get the first chapter up.
