Chapter 3

Smile, It's a New Day

2014

Anastasia walked over to her mirror grinning. She made a few adjustments to her hair; she wore black converse, black mini shorts, a basic black top with a sweater over it. Fist impressions mattered, right? She grabbed a black satchel and walked out her house and to school saying goodbye to her 'mother'. Her real mother was long dead, only dark angels were immortal. She had been trying to avoid Anne as much as possible now. After she had told Anne the truth about what she was, Anne was adamant that the only way to protect Anastasia was to have her wings removed, If that was even possible. She reached Mystic Falls High and walked inside to the office. There was a dark haired guy stood there and the receptionist couldn't take her gaze away from his eyes. He was a vampire and she was compelled. Anastasia didn't know why she how or why she sensed vampires, but she did anyway. She walked over to her and sat on the desk he was leaning against. "Hey, you think you can do that little compelly thing for me?" She asked. His head whipped up and he looked at her as if she had two heads, she just gestured to the receptionist. He watched her for a moment before turning back to the woman. She looked forward and noticed a brunette and a dark skinned girl eyeing the guy stood next to her. Anastasia did a double take on the brunette, it was Katherine. Anastasia grinned and hopped off the counter walking over towards her. "Katherine! I nearly didn't recognize you, what did you do to your curls?"

"Who's Katherine?" Oh, there's now another doppelganger. Not confusing at all.

"I'm sorry, I must have mistaken you for someone else. Sorry, I'm Anastasia."

"That's alright. I'm Elena and this is Bonnie," She smiled warmly and gestured to the darker skinned girl. Anastasia gave Bonnie a quick smile but Elena's voice made Anastasia turn back to her. "I'm so sorry, I need to... my brother." she apologized staring down the corridors before walking away. Bonnie quickly made an excuse then left, before Anastasia could move the dark haired guy was next to her "how did you know about me and how did you know Katherine?" Anastasia smirked and tapped the side of her noes three times, she thanked him them left.

Anastasia walked into her first class taking a seat at the back. Soon the class was full and the dark haired guy sat next to her. "How about we start again?"

"I disagree, this morning was quite fun,"

"I'm Stefan," Her head whipped around to look at him "Salvatore?"

"Yes,"

"As in the Salvatore brothers?"

"How did you-"

"Huh,"

"How about a game of twenty questions?"

"Shoot,"

"How did you know about me?"

"Lets just say your not the first vampire I've met. When was the last time you saw Katherine?"

"1864, she's dead. How did you know Katherine?"

"Ha, Katherine dead? No chance. She's my sister, sort of." They were interrupted as the bell rang loudly. She gathered all of her things and quickly walked out hoping to avoid any more questions.
