Elena says goodbye to Mystic Falls

A few days later Elena was home, she was about to have breakfast. The television was on and the news reporter had said that sheriff Forbes had found a rotted vampire body lying by the road side with a stake through his heart. When Elena heard this she became worried, she suspected it was Stefan's body because she haven't seen or heard from him for a while.

She quickly hurried over to Damon's place. She entered the house without even knocking before. As she entered Damon's room she saw him with Steffy, a friend of Damon's, they were almost too naked. When Damon saw Elena he asked Steffy for a moment alone. Steffy then left the room and Elena stood there puzzled. Damon then said "Elena it's not what you think, she's just a friend" and Elena replied "oh really, so do you just go on about doing things like that with all your friends? I can't believe you Damon…" she then walked out and Damon tried to stop her but he failed.

She could not stop thinking about what had just happened. Damon had cheated on her. She became very worried, thinking that the vampire who got killed was Stefan. She then went to sheriff Forbs to ask who the vampire was, sheriff forbs told Elena she wasn't sure about whom it was. Elena then figured out that the vampire was not Stefan. She breathes a sigh of relief.

When she went home she went to Jeremy's room to see if he was ok cause she haven't seen him for the day. When she arrived at his room she was shocked, she saw a set of weapons which is used to kills vampires. She could not believe her eyes. (Jeremy had become a vampire hunter.) As she turned around to leave she saw Jeremy standing in the door way. He was holding a bow with wooden arrows pointing to her. She was confused, why would Jeremy hold an arrow at his own sister? He then said "I'm sorry Elena but I can't spear you. This town needs to be protected from creatures like you."

She then realized what was going on, Jeremy had gone against all vampires, including his own sister. But she didn't blame him; after all he was just doing something to protect innocent people. She then vanished from the way so she would not get shoot.

She knew by the look on Jeremy's face he was really serious about killing vampires and she also knew that she had to leave and go somewhere else to live because Jeremy would kill her whenever he gets the chance. Although she was not prepared to leave and she did not want to leave Jeremy alone she had no choice. She left within a day.

After wondering off in many places she saw a bar in California, so she decided to stay a little bit. She was sitting alone until a tall, fair, handsome guy came "hi there, I haven't seen you here before, you must be new here." He said with a calm, loving voice. She replied. "Yes I'm new here I'm just visiting for a while, so what's your name?" "I'm Joshua, I hope you enjoy your stay here" he said. Joshua and Elena chatted for a while; they even had a few beers. After a few they both figured out something about each other (they were both vampires).

Elena told Joshua the whole story about why she had to leave Mystic Falls and she even told him about Stefan and Damon. After they got to know each other Elena told him how she had nowhere to stay so Joshua invited her to meet his family.

Later that day when she meets his family they told her she could stay with them so she decided to.
