I know I forgot to mention this but this story takes place after Katerina, so that'a jut to clear up any confusion.

I don't own Vampire Diaries.

Scarlett's POV

I decided to head into town and get to know the place a little better. I went to a place called the Mystic Grill. It was full of people but it was easy for me to control my hunger now.

I sat on one of the stools. "Can I help you?"

I looked up to see a guy with blonde hair looking at me. "I'll take anything."

"What kind of anything?"

"I'll just take a soda." He nodded and went to get my drink.

"I haven't seen you around here, you new?"

I smiled and nodded. "Yep I just moved in with Mrs. Flowers."

He looked at me and smiled. "So you're the new girl. I'm Matt."

He extended his hand and I shook it. "Scarlett Alston but just call me Scar or Let either works fine."

He raised an eyebrow. "Does your family own the house in the forest?"

I nodded. "Actually, it belongs to me now. I'm the last hare."

"So your great great-grandparents are buried here?"

I nodded and finished my drink. "Yep, they lived here. My great-grandmother left when she was nineteen and never looked back." Until now.

"Oh hey Matt." I turned around to see Caroline standing behind me. She saw me and smiled. "Scarlett, I'm so sorry about the mall thing we didn't mean to get you upset."

I cut her off. "It's okay, I overreacted. You couldn't have known I was going to act like that."

She smiled and hugged me, I gasped silently. She's a new vampire.

She didn't seem to notice. "Hey Matt, your shift's almost over right?" he nodded. "Why don't we show her around?"

I smiled. "That would be great actually, I need to get used to this town."

She grinned. "Did you come here by car?"

I shook my head. "I came here on my baby." They both looked at me confused. "I'll show you outside."

Matt looked at his watch. "I'll go end my shift, wait for me."

We both nodded as he walked away. "So Scarlett, you have a boyfriend?"

I shook my head. "Never had one, never will."

She gasped. "How you haven't been asked out yet?"

I held my hands up. "Oh I've been asked out hundreds of times, I just never had a proper boyfriend."

"Why don't you give them a chance?"

I shrugged. "I don't want a boyfriend; I don't want to be tied down to someone, I want to live my life." Or my death.

"But don't you want to meet your prince charming?" she asked.

I shook my head. "Life is never a fairytale."

Matt walked up. "You ready to go?"

We nodded and walked out. "So Scarlett where's your baby?"

I smiled as we approached my motorbike. "This is my baby."

They stared at it. "Wow, that's so cool."

I grinned. "I take her with me everywhere. Do you have a car?"

Caroline nodded. "Let's take mine."

I shrugged. "Sure, as long as you drop me back off here later to pick her up."

She nodded and led me to her car. I hoped in the backseat since Matt took the front. "So, the house is still standing?"

Matt nodded. "I've seen it a couple times but no one goes near it. People say it's disrespectful and trespassing."

Caroline tilted her head in my direction. "You own the Alston house?"

I nodded. "Yeah but I don't know if I could live in it."

I leaned in through the seats to see where we were. "Why? It's a pretty house it just needs renovating."

I looked out the front window. "There were rumors that my great-grandmother, the original Scarlett Alston, was attacked by a vampire. I don't know if I believe it or not but I sure don't want to live in there alone."

Caroline tensed and let out a fake laugh. "Vampires, really? I've never heard of vampires living here."

I watched her closely. "That was 145 years ago, I'm sure if there are any now."

She relaxed a bit. "Like you said if there are any, there's no proof that they exist."

I shrugged and leaned back in my seat. "Our ancestors believed they existed, maybe they do, maybe they don't." I decided to change the topic. "Where are we going?"

She thought about it. "I don't know, maybe Elena has some ideas; let's got to her house."

I just nodded and looked out the window. How was it possible that there was another doppelgänger? Katherine was supposed to be it. What happened to Damon and Stefan? Why didn't Katherine die 145 years ago like she was supposed to? Where was Elijah? And most importantly, Who turned Caroline?

"We're here." I nodded and got out of the car. We had stopped at what I guessed was Elena's house.

I looked at the house and realized I couldn't get in. "I'll just wait out here."

"I'll wait with her." Matt stood beside me.

She just nodded and went to knock on the door it opened to reveal Elena. I tried to listen into their conversation. "Hey Elena, we're going to show Scarlett around and I was wondering if you wanted to come."

Elena looked at Caroline. "Sure" she looked over at me and Matt. "Can you come in and wait while I get ready?"

I smiled. "Sure, why not?" I walked over to her as she held the door open.

There was a guy sitting on the couch. "This is my brother Jeremy."

He got up and walked over to me. "Nice to meet you."

I smiled. "Nice to meet you too, I'm Scarlett."

Caroline came up behind me. "Scarlett owns the Alston house."

He looked at me. "Really?"

I nodded. "Yep but I don't live in it, not yet anyways."

We all sat down as Elena went to get ready. "That place is huge."

I shrugged. "Well it's supposed to be, it was a mansion."

He nodded. "No one really knows the history of the Alston's."

I smiled. "Yeah, how could they; there's no history, they were just killed."

"Do you know what happened?" He looked at me curiously.

I nodded. "My grandmother told me."

"So your great-grandmother was the original Scarlett Alston?" Caroline asked.

I nodded. "Yeah, she was."

Jeremy looked up. "Can you tell us a bit about her?"

I nodded. "Were do I start?" I looked at him. "Oh got it. The Alston's found her when she was just two years old, they took her in and treated her as their own. She lived with them for twenty years before they died. She left everything behind when she fled from whoever killed them and she lived her life. That's it, unless you want the whole story."

They looked up at me. "Why don't we hear the whole story?"

I looked up as Elena came down the stairs. "Okay, come over here and I'll tell you whatever you want to know."

Elena sat next to Caroline. "Start with her childhood."

I nodded. "Okay well, when she was two years younger than the Salvatore's oldest son do they got along great. They were best friends actually." I smiled as I looked at the floor. "They were complete opposites; she was the daring one and he was the one that talked her out of things, his name was Damon."

Elena looked up at me. "Salvatore?"

I nodded. "Yeah that was him."

She looked at me. "You know Damon's great-grandsons lives at the Salvatore boarding house, they're named Damon and Stefan Salvatore."

I nodded. "Well let me think, what else is there. Oh yeah, at seventeen she was going to leave but Damon convinced her not to. Then when she was twenty she found her family murdered in the mansion. She left three days later."

Elena looked sad. "Why did she leave, didn't she love Damon?"

I nodded and looked down again. "She did, that's exactly why she left. She knew if she stayed he would get killed just like her family; besides he didn't love her, he loved Katherine. Scarlett wanted him to be happy even if it meant with her heart broken."

They all looked pissed now. "Katherine? Why didn't she fight for him? He would have been better off with Scarlett."

I shook my head. "There was no point in fighting for him; they rarely talked to each-other since Katherine had come, he was always with her."

Elena's POV

I couldn't believe it. Damon had loved before Katherine and he just abandoned her for Katherine. Did Katherine know he was in love with her? One thing's for sure; we need to see her, soon.

I looked up at everyone else. "You know I'm not feeling good right now, I think I'm just going to stay here and rest. Take Jeremy with you instead."

Caroline nodded, she knew I was lying. "Come on then let's go show her around."

They got up and left in Caroline's car. As soon as they were far away I called Stefan. "Everything okay, Elena?"

I nodded. "Yeah, everything's fine but get Damon and meet me at my house."

He sounded worried. "Why?"

I looked out of my window. "We need to talk to Katherine."
