I get to my house about 10 minutes later and I take a well-needed break for air as I get the spare key from an old flower pot beside the porch. I open the door with very shaky hands and since the house is empty I just go up to my room.
I make sure my windows are locked and turn to my door "Agh!" There is a man standing at my now open door! "My apologies, I did not mean to frighten you" He's very...Polite "You sneak into my house and up to my bedroom, What did you think would happen?!" He freaking smirks! "Well I saw you at the Salvator house and I wanted to say hello, But you ran out" Recovering from the shock now I snap "Who the hell are you!?" I yell louder than intended and he runs over to me impossibly fast "I see Elena filled you in on Vampires and such" He looks into my eyes and I feel strange "Who are you? Why are you in Mystic Falls?" He asks and I can't stop my words "My name is Raven Gilbert, Mystic Falls is my home" He pulls back and I shake my head "What did you just do to me?" He smiles "Your sister didn't tell you everything then. Vampires can compel people it's a form of mind control" My jaw drops "Mind control? Great, You didn't tell me your name" I step back and he stays where he is "My name is Elijah, Save your sister the trouble I'll fill you in on everything" He walks over to me and puts his hands on my head, Memories and stuff about Vampires play out like a movie behind my closed eyes.
A few minutes later he lets go of me and I step back "I just got home and I have to be killed?!" I groan holding my head "Yes, Your timing seems...Convenient" This is too much "Get out!" I yell and he seems to understand this is an overload of information, He nods and 'Vamp Speeds' out.
"I need to sleep" I mumble and strip down to my black long-sleeved top and Lacey black underwear. I crawl into bed, Turn my lamp off, And go to sleep.
XX
"Raven wake up" I groan as Elena is shaking me "Come on get up! We need to talk now" I grab my phone and look at the time it is 9 am.
"We don't need to talk about anything, Elijah already filled me in last night" I growl throwing the covers off of my body and getting out of bed, "What!? Elijah was here?" She asks "Yeah, He snuck in here last night and he compelled me...Then he showed me everything about vampires and a sacrifice" I groan rubbing my temples "You know about that?" She groans "Elijah thinks my coming back here seems awfully convenient, I had no idea anything like this was possible. Elena I don't want to fight with you, Not when I just got back and we haven't seen each other in years" She smiles "If you have any other questions I would be happy to fill you in, I promise no more secrets" She gets off the bed, walks over to me, and hugs me. I laugh "Ok, Get out I need to get dressed" She raises her eyebrows "Where ya going?" She asks suspiciously "I'm gonna go to the grill and get some breakfast, I also need to get some forms to get into the school, And I want to go visit our 'parents' graves" She nods and walks out of my room.
I get dressed in black skinny jeans, A white tank top with a flannel over the top, And black wedge ankle boots. I grab my phone, Notebook, Pen, My Five Nights At Freddy's: The Twisted One's book, And put everything in my bag.
I head into my bathroom to wash my face, brush my teeth, And brush my hair.
10 Minutes later I go back into my room, grab my bag, And head out...I really need to get a car!
XX
40 Minutes later I get to the Grill and walk inside. "Hm" I'm heading over to the bar and I see Damon talking to a dirty blonde/ Light brown-haired man. I sit on the stool beside Damon and smile "Morning" Both men turn their attention to me and Damon looks...worried "Oh! Damon who is this?" The brown/blonde man asks smirking at me "Hey I'm Raven" I reach my hand past Damon and the man kisses my hand "Pleasure to meet you, Niklaus but you can call me Klaus" I blush "N-Nice to meet you Klaus" Damon finally snaps out of whatever was in his mind "Raven...Whatcha doing here?" He asks and my stomach growls making me blush out of embarrassment "Breakfast, I'm so sorry if I interrupted something" Klaus laughs he is very attractive "You didn't interrupt anything Love, In fact I would love to join you for breakfast...If you don't mind of course" I smile and tuck my hair behind my ear "I-I don't m-mind" Damon goes stiff as a board and the barman comes over "Hey what can I getcha?" He asks with a boyish smile "Bacon, Eggs, And a coffee with 3 sugar and milk" He nods and Klaus orders Bacon, Eggs, And a whiskey? I shake my head and hop off the stool "I'm gonna go get us a table" I smile at Klaus and leave them to it.
I sit at a middle table and wait for Klaus and the food to come, I think about Klaus while I wait.
He is very attractive, He's very charming, And I get the feeling he is funny too. But why does he want to have breakfast with me? After only just meeting? I groan and rub my temples, If I keep thinking too much I'm gonna get a migraine.
XX
10 Minutes later Klaus and the waiter come over "Sorry about that Love" Klaus smiles as the waiter puts the plates and cups down "I-It's fine, I um I have to ask...Why do you want to have breakfast with me? We just met and I am nothing special" He smirks "And who said your nothing special?" I blush and look away "T-That's just how I think...Sorry I'm a downer" He laughs and drinks his whiskey "How old are you Sweetheart?" He asks "17, You?" I ask drinking my coffee "Ha! I'm old" I laugh "You don't look old, What brings you to town?" I smile and he looks into my eyes "My own personal issues, Damon tells me you just got here last night. How long have you been gone?" I sigh "Too long, I wish I had been here for my sister but I couldn't handle it when my parents died" He tilts his head "Sister?" I nod "My sister is Elena Gilbert, We are fraternal twins" He raises his eyebrows "Wow I did not see that coming! Are you and your sister close?" I nod "Y-Yeah we are I mean we used to be...It's been a very long time and I am not sure anymore, I've learned a lot of new things being back here" He hmm's and we fall into a comfortable silence while we eat.

Ding!
I get a message and smile at Klaus "I am so sorry about that, It's probably my sister" He smiles "It's fine Love" I check my phone and there is a message from an unknown number.
Unknown: Remember those vampires we talked about? Klaus is one of them, A very dangerous one.
I look around and my eyes meet Damon's at the bar, He smiles and waves his phone. I groan and Klaus also looks at Damon "What's wrong?" He asks turning back to me "N-Nothing, Just an annoyance" I groan and open my phone back to the message.
Raven: He has not given me any reason to think he is 'A very dangerous' Vampire so please leave me alone Damon, I can handle myself.
I close my phone and meet Klaus's eyes "I'm sorry about that, I really need to get going. I have a lot of stuff to do today" I grab my bag and head over to the Bar.
I give the waiter the money and I turn to Damon "Hope you're happy now! I have just acted like a complete bitch to someone who didn't deserve it" I growl and walk out of the grill.
XX
"I am not walking everywhere today" I mumble and text Elena.
R: Hey Elena, Are you busy?
E: Nope! Not busy, What's up?
R: Can you give me a ride to the school? I really don't want to walk everywhere today...
E: Sure, Where are you?
R: Outside the grill, See you soon.
I put my phone away and sit on a bench while I wait for Elena.
XX
Literally 10 seconds later Klaus sits on the bench beside me and I sigh "I know what you are...But that's not why I left, Damon pissed me off and I have a short fuse" Klaus smirks "Well Damon has that effect on people, And what am I sweetheart?" I turn and look into his eyes "Your a vampire apparently 'A very dangerous one' as Damon puts it" He laughs "Well he's right Love, But I have no intention of hurting you...yet" I tilt my head "Yet? What do you mean by yet?" I ask not breaking eye contact "Have you been told about a sacrifice?" I nod "I'm the one who performs it" My mouth forms an O as Elena pulls up "Raven? Get in the car" I stand up and open the door before turning back to Klaus "I want to know more about it, I deserve that much since I've come home just to die" I don't give him time to respond as I get in the car, Slam the door, And Elena starts driving.
XX
We get to the school and I turn to Elena "Wait here I won't be long" She nods and I head inside.
XX
As promised it didn't take long and I am now back in the car, Forms are done, And now I wait for a response.
"I think I'm going to leave the grave visiting for another day, What do you have planned for tonight?" I ask getting my seatbelt on "I was thinking Me, You, Stefan, And Damon have dinner tonight as a welcome home thing" I smile "That sounds amazing!" She laughs and we head home.
XX
We get home and Elena takes out her phone "Ok! Now to call Stefan" I laugh and go get a drink out of the fridge.
A few minutes later she walks into the kitchen "Done! Stefan is picking up Damon and then they will be here, Any ideas on what to make for dinner?" She asks "Uh...Curry?" She laughs "Curry's good" I smile and we get started on dinner.
XX
40 Minutes later there is a knock at the door and Elena goes to get it.
We finished cooking the rice, Chicken, and now I am just adding the final touches to the curry sauce.
Elena, Damon, And Stefan walk into the kitchen, "Hey Raven" Stefan smiles and Damon actually glares at me! "Hey Stefan, Dinners almost done" I smile as Elena grabs some plates. I turn to her "I feel like I am being an idiot and I just noticed it now, Vampires eat normal food?" She laughs "Yeah they eat normal food"
"They can also hear you!" Damon yells from the sofa "Noted!" I yell back and help Elena plate the food, "Drinks?" Elena asks "Do we have milkshake?" I ask as she opens the fridge "Banana?" I groan "It will do" she laughs and pours me a glass, Stefan is having water, Damon is having...Bourbon? And Elena joined me on the milkshake train. We all take a seat at the table and start eating.
XX
5 Minutes into eating Elena turns to me "So Raven I think we need to talk about Klaus, And what happened earlier" I groan "Fine" I am now being lectured about how Klaus is the bad guy, he wants us all dead, and I am supposed to stay away from him. "Elena I can handle myself I really don't need this lecture right now" I snap and go back to eating.
XX
10 Minutes later I finish eating, Put my dishes in the sink, and I am about to head upstairs.
Ding!
My phone alerts me to a message, Unknown number. Well it's not Damon because I saved his earlier.
Unknown: Hello Love! It's Klaus I got your number from Damon...Well he doesn't know that ;) Anyway I want you to meet me at this address *Alaric's address here* We can talk about the sacrifice and any other questions you have.
Raven: OK, I'll be there soon.
Ugh more walking! I groan and head to the door, "Woah!" and I just walked into a chest "And where are you going?" Damon smirks and I glare "Out" I try and move past him but he keeps standing in my way! "Elena!" I yell and she walks in followed by Stefan "Please tell Damon to let me out or I am going to kick him in the balls" She tilts her head "Why? Where are you going?" I groan "I was going to go for a walk" I lie keeping my heartbeat steady "She's not lying" Stefan tells Elena "Damon move" He glares at them and me "What!? She is clearly up to something!" He is too busy glaring at Stefan so I take the opportunity to walk by him and out of the door.
Surprisingly I am not followed as I make my way to the address Klaus gave me.
End of chapter, Hope you enjoyed!
