The Vampire Diaries-

Elena POV-

I hated that the travelers had taken over our town. We could even go in the border, it was like a house, except we could be invited in. Bonnie tried to hard to break the spell, but there was nothing she could so, so we had no other choice but to move. Caroline and I decided on a small town up north. A town where nothing bad happens, and it's so small, it's not on some maps: Riverdale, New York.

Damon hated the fact that he had to leave his car behind, but I promised that as soon as the travelers were gone, he could have his car. "I know Elena, but I would still have my car if the travelers would crawl back into that prison world where they came from."

"Well, Damon, why don't you just compel yourself a car if you want one so bad." I hoped he would, because even if I did have my vampire speed, I didn't want to run that far.

"Maybe, I will." he retorted right as a black mustang drove down the road. He did his usual theatrics: lay in the road, play dead, kill, and steal. I hated when he did that. I refused to feed on humans because I couldn't stand the though of taking someone's life for my benefit.

I suddenly heard a twig snap behind me, and I turned around to see Caroline and Stefan approaching me as I watch Damon prey on an innocent human. "What is he doing?" Stefan asked. I honestly didn't know.

"Getting us a car. little brother." We watched as the black mustang approached Damon, and as usual, stopping to check on the person laying in the middle of the road. The man got out of the car and slowly walked towards Damon.

"Sir? Are you okay? The man called from a few feet away. He continued to inch towards him. "Hello? Do I need to call an ambulance?" The man asked. Then he turned around to retrieve his phone, Which gave Damon just enough time to attack and feed on the man.

He then threw the mangled body into the ditch next to the road, hopped in the car, and honked the horn at us. I jumped in the passenger seat, Caroline sat behind Damon, and Stefan sat behind me. The car was really crammed. I had to move my seat up all the way so Stefan could sit behind me, and we were still crammed.

"You couldn't have waited for literally any other car? You had to get the shiny one?" Caroline complained. I agreed, we should have waited, because as soon as we all crammed ourselves in the car, a big SUV drove past us, laughing at the 4 teenagers squished into one car.

It wasn't long before we were headed down the road to Riverdale, New York, the town with pep, as the sign in the pictures read.

I didn't want to leave Mystic Falls. My entire childhood has been taken over by travelers. The Salvatore Boarding house, Wickery bridge, my house, he town square, the grille. I was just letting it go. The only thing I was happy about leaving was the memory of my parents death. The thought was to painful to have anymore. They were one of the reasons I turned my humanity off the first time. The internal pain.

About an hour in, I got a text from Bonnie that read Me and Enzo will meet you guys in Riverdale. We just got into New York. How far are you guys? I wasn't sure where we were anymore, so I asked the driver, "Damon, how far are we from Riverdale?" I asked.

"10 hours away, but if I speed I can get us there in 5." He responded with a wink. Then I heard the loud sound of the motor heating and the car quickly accelerated, dodging cars that look at us like we were maniacs. We got pulled over once, and Caroline compelled the officer to leave us alone and to tell the other deputies that we were in a hurry to the hospital.

I text Bonnie back about an hour later; Sorry, I had to deal with Damon's reckless driving. We are about 4 hours from Riverdale now. You guys go ahead and find some where to stay. Bonnie immediately responded with something that made Damon go faster that he ever had before. There is something supernatural living there, my powers are acting weird and nothing is working. We decided to wait until you guys got here to pass the town's border.

That worried me. Bonnie's powers only stopped working when someone was using them to power their magic, like Kai. But Kai was dead, which made me wonder. "Bonnie's waiting for us on the border. Step on it." I told Damon.

"Why didn't she go into the town like a normal person?" Caroline retorted.

"Her powers weaken the closer she gets to the town. Like they did when Kai was around." I responded. Everyone but Damon turned to look at me, eyes wide with worry. The car went dead silent.

"What does this mean?" Caroline asked again.

"There is something supernatural in that town that is draining Bonnie's powers." Stefan said, his voice filled with concern. The travelers were all back in Mystic Falls, and Kai and Jo are dead, so who is stealing Bonnie's magic?

This question haunted me the entire trip. When we pulled up next to Bonnie's car that was parked on the side of the road, she looked like she had seen a ghost. "Bon?" Damon said. She just looked down at her hands.

"It's gone. My magic, it won't work if we are in Riverdale." Bonnie said, her voice breaking.

"It's okay Bonnie, as long as the travelers don't know where we are, we will be okay." Caroline reassured her.

"And I won't let whatever creature that is causing you to lose your powers come near you, love." Enzo added. She finally looked up at all of us.

"Let's go. If they come, we can lead them past the border so I can regain my powers." Bonnie turned to look at Damon, who wasn't so sure about this plan. "We already tested it, the farther away from this town we are, the stronger my powers." And that was it. We started the cars and drove into Riverdale together, Bonnie and Enzo following us.

The town was barren. There was only trees for a while, until a diner came into view. Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe the bright red sigh read. We pulled off the exit and parked in the almost empty parking lot. There were only two other cars and one motorcycle. The first car was a Silver Volvo and looked out of place compared to the car it was parked next to: a blue thunder bird that looked like Damon's car, but older and more expensive. The motorcycle looked new as well, with shiny leather seats and polished handle bars. Damon decided to park next to the Volvo, with Enzo pulling in next to him. "Let's go eat." He said.

As soon as we got out of the car, I smelled something. It wasn't familiar, and it wasn't human. Caroline, Damon, Enzo, and Stefan must have picked it up too, because we all casually surrounded Bonnie and followed the trail into the diner. It was pretty much empty, considering it was Sunday night. The only people there was an old man behind the counter and a group of people in a corner booth having a conversation.

"Welcome to Pop's." The man behind the counter said as we walked up to the counter. "What can I getcha'?" The people in the corner stopped talking and turned to look at us. I hated having their eyes on me. It made me feel like I had a tail or something.

I ignored them and scooted to the side so Bonnie could get to the counter and order. After she did so, We sat in the other corner booth on the opposite side of the restaurant. The smell grew stronger when we came into the restaurant, but it wasn't coming from the old man. Which meant it was someone in the group of teenagers that sat opposite of us.

I sat on the side where I had the group in my view. Bonnie sat next to me, and Caroline sat next to her. The boys did the same: Damon, Enzo, then Stefan. I glared at the group examining their faces and features to try and spot the creature. I examined the faces that were facing me first.

There was a girl closest to the window with brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a loose maroon t-shirt and a brow leather jacket over it. When I focused on her, I could smell her blood. That didn't usually happen unless I was near them, but this was different. Her blood sang to me. I was so tempted to run over there and compel her to let me drink from her, but I couldn't risk it, in case she was a vampire. I suddenly heard a faint growl come from that group, but I couldn't tell who it came from. I just shook it off and moved on to the guy to her left.

He was so pale, he looked sick. He had brown hair that was styled like Stefan's, but less spiked. He had golden eyes that stood out like stars. He wore a gray v-neck shirt and had a leather bracelet on his right arm with some sort of mysterious symbol on it. He was very handsome, I must admit. I couldn't bring myself to look away, but I did when his eyes met mine. It was only for a second, but I knew something was off about him. He had his arm around the brown haired girl, so I assumed she was his girl friend.

The girl next to him had bleach blonde hair that was pulled into a tight pony tail. She wore a dark blue plaid shirt with a black undershirt. Hey eyes were a light blue, almost gray color. The guy across from her was facing away from us so I couldn't see his face. He wore a leather jacket that said Southside Serpents and had a green snake entangling itself around the name. He also wore a gray beanie that had a rimmed to make it look like a crown. I could just barely see his hair, but I looked black from a distance. He was holding the blonde girls hand from across the table, so I assumed they were dating as well.

Finally, the last couple. They were obviously dating because I saw them kissing through the window when we first pulled in to the lot. There was a red-headed kid who wore a blue and yellow Letterman's jacket that read "Andrews" on the back. I couldn't see anything else, which upset me. The last girl who sat closest to the window had black hair and wore a red button up sweater with a white collar. She was also wearing a pearl necklace the look like it was as expensive as the car.

Suddenly, they stood up and made their way towards us. I hoped that they were going to the door, but they walked right past it and came to our table.
