RING RING.
Elena sighed as she stared groggily at her phone, debating whether she should answer it. Who the hell would be ringing her at this time in the morning? She lifted her head off the pillow slightly so she could look at the caller ID. Of course, I was Caroline. Grabbing the phone, Elena carefully wandered into another room so she didn't wake Damon. He was going through enough stress recently, with Stefan going missing. He didn't need to be woken up at such a ridiculous time.
Elena answered the phone quickly, making sure that she didn't miss it. Caroline wasn't too great at dealing with missed calls.
"What?" she hissed down the phone. Elena was not a morning person, and she certainly did not appreciate having Caroline disturb her sleep.
"Elena, where the hell are you? I told you to be here an hour ago!"
"Oh crap! I'm so sorry Caroline! I completely forgot!" Of course! It was the founders festival today in Mystic Falls, and Caroline had once again managed to rope Elena into helping out.
"It's alright, just get here as soon as you can!"
Elena rubbed her eyes, trying to wake herself up. She jumped in the shower quickly, threw her dress on and applied some makeup before starting to head out of the door. Damon was still asleep, so she quickly left him a note, grabbed her car keys and began to run towards her car.
Five minutes later, Elena was walking through the front door of the mansion that once belonged to the Lockwood's. Since then, Matt had become the owner, however, he was currently travelling with Rebekah, and so Caroline had been left in charge. The place had been littered with decorations; everywhere was covered with white petals and vases of pretty flowers. As always, Caroline had done an amazing job.
Elena searched around, trying to look for a face that she recognised. She noticed Klaus stood looking uncomfortable in the corner, and grinned at the fact that Caroline had managed to get him wrapped around her little finger. Although he still wasn't the most approachable person, he had certainly improved from the person that he used to be.
Still deep in thought, Elena jumped when she ran straight into a girl. Slowly coming to her senses, she realised that she had just ran into April. She smiled apologetically at the girl, who was yet another person from Mystic Falls who seemed to be putting on a brave face after all she had been through.
"Oh… hey Elena. I was just looking for you. Caroline wants you over there." April pointed in the direction of the garden. Elena smiled again, and began walking in the direction that April had showed her.
"Elena, there you are!" Caroline came storming towards Elena, her blonde waves bouncing with every step she took. "I would like to introduce you to someone."
Elena's eyes instantly looked at the petite girl stood next to Caroline. She was absolutely stunning. Her young face told her that she was 15 or 16. She was absolutely radiant, with long golden hair that fell into soft curls down her back. She had piercing blue eyes, which completely stood out against her snowy skin. Elena stared at the girl, realising she recognised her from somewhere. Still puzzled, she looked back at Caroline, who was growing impatient.
"This is April's friend. She's in town to visit, so April brought her along. I've just sent April off to run some errands, so, do you mind showing her around for a bit?"
"Yeah, sure" Elena replied, and Caroline began to wander off.
"So, what's your name?" Elena asked politely, hoping to make some small talk with the girl.
"I'm Megan. Megan Mikaelson." Elena stood there, still confused. She had definitely heard that name somewhere. She would have to ask April later.
She began walking Megan towards the decorations when she heard a voice behind her, sounding annoyed.
"What the hell are you doing here?" She turned around in shock, and saw Klaus stood there. A frown crossed her face, but she soon realised that it wasn't aimed at her. Klaus was staring straight at Megan, with the same piercing blue eyes that Elena knew she had recognised earlier…
