The Storm

Vampire Damon Salvatore is a vampire.
Those words repeated over and over and over again in my head. Damon Salvatore is a vampire Damon Salvatore is a mother fucking vampire! The irony of the situation wasn't lost on me. I run from the supernatural just end up back is evil clutches.

One might think that I was some sort of magnet for the unknown, for the impossible. Werewolves, vampires, what next motherfucking Shadow hunters this shit was unbelievable!
Shook my head and let out a bitter laugh; money I was doing this for money I have to deal with this crazy town for money, money truly is the root of all evil by gun it if I don't want it. The situation was like dangling a carrot in front of the horse expecting it not to run after it, was this some kind of sick joke. I felt as though fate was taking a crap on my head I couldn't believe this I found normalcy and happiness, I'm not saying that being famous is exactly normal but it was my life.
It was then I decided that at any costs I was going to avoid Damon Salvatore I refuse to let supernatural beings mess up my new life after the big disaster that was my old one I was still running from the past I knew eventually it was going to catch up with me but that didn't mean I wasn't going to fight to stay ahead. I had to fight for my happiness.
I couldn't stand down even if I wanted to I couldn't let them win. I was above them and everything they put me through, even after they held me down I got back up I dusted myself off. I have to admit being above them felt so good, I felt like I was flying through the clouds and watching them like little ants and what I wouldn't gave to step on one of them and watch them struggle under the weight that they once tried to put me under and finally squash him the little insects they are. I'm a firm believer in karma, yes Karma's a bitch and she enjoys giving people what they deserve and let's be honest I would hate to be in receiving end of the shit storm karma is going to bring their way. Yes my life is Bella Swan is over but I will forever mourn the memories of a young girl whose life was lost way too early.
I now know my life is Bella Swan ended the day I met Edward Cullen, after that I was simply living on borrowed time. Bella was an innocent girl and yet she was guilty at the same time. She was guilty of being naïve and that was the crime that sentenced her to death.
With that said I knew I couldn't let Damon Salvatore me out of town, when I leave this godforsaken town I will leave with my head held high as a rich woman of knowledge and money. I already knew secrets no human should know, so I didn't see the harm in learning a few more; and learning I would, do I would dissect this little town until I knew all the secrets had to hold.
" Bitch wake the fuck up. We have too much shit to do this morning for you to be sleeping your lazy ass away! get up or I will come in there and drag you out by your hair. The press conference starts in 45 minutes school starts in two hours and because of you I have to attend both! I have to find the perfect outfit for you and myself in less than hour so get up into the shower or so help me God..." Gary's angry voice drifted through the door in a growl, I knew Gary wasn't a morning person but he was taking this a bit far.

"What the hell you doing here Gary!" I groaned looking at the clock on the nightstand, the neon green letters mocked me with there low numbers "It's only 4:15 in the fucking morning Gary!" I screeched rubbing the sleep from my eyes.

"When you didn't return to the hotel last night I called Jenks, he told me about your little situation so I am here to help! I will be attending school with you every fucking morning until the end of graduation and I will be playing your beauty guru and your security guard so get your ass up in the shower so I can make you look not like a monster" Gary yelled at my opening my bedroom door and looking down at me in disgust.
I laughed at Gary calling me a monster because he didn't look much better, his hair was sticking up everywhere he had what looked to be makeup smeared down his face and his clothes from last night were completely entirely wrinkled.
"Says the kettle to the pot" I mumbled getting out of bed and stretching my poor sleep limbs.
I grabbed a robe and headed towards the bathroom with a scowl on my face, I was so tired.
I quickly showered, making sure to wash my hair thoroughly before getting out drying off and putting my robe on. I walked into the bedroom and saw the outfit that Gary laid out for me. A pair of black jeans that were ripped to hell and a most likely tightfitting Beatles T-shirt paired with a simple set of black lace undergarments and 6 inch silver Louis Vuitton heels. Not wanting to face the wrath of Gary I quickly threw on my outfit and went to look for him, house was very large so it took me minute but I finally found him standing in the front room looking angry.

"Took you long enough" he mumbled loud enough for me to hear.
"Sorry I can't move at superspeed" I replied sarcastically. He was such an impatient little thing.

"No worries doll face, alls forgiven! Now it's time to pretty you up for your cameo in front of the camera. So make-up wise i'm thinking Taylor Swift with just a touch of Joan Jett how does that sound?" Gary asked redundantly shoving me on the couch and messing with my face and hair, boy could dude make fast when it came to doing make-up!

The final result was amazing, I had on dark red lipstick with dark brown almost natural looking eye make up that looked amazing with my dark green colored contacts, and finally the deep pale pink bronzer that seem to bring out my cheekbones and make my facial structure seem almost feline like. I looked amazing beautiful elegant and young at the same time I absolutely loved it! And don't even get me started on my hair it looked beautiful with in natural waves framing my heart shaped face perfectly.

"What on earth would I do without you!" I exclaimed happily, almost forgetting that he me woke me at an ungodly hour for this.

"You would be on top of the worst dressed list" Gary deadpanned, checking out his reflection in a mirror. "Time to go!" Gary said putting the mirror down and trusting a black leather jacket in my hands and pushing me towards the door.

"Um don't I need a back pack or something I can't just go empty-handed" I asked in a rushed voice as Gary been nearly threw me into my car, passenger seat I might add.

"Taken care of backpacks are in the truck filled with the stuff we need for school! now we need to go already we're already late" He said starting the car and pulling out of the driveway like horse with its ass on fire.

Five minutes and several traffic laws broken later we pulled into a packed school parking lot, I gulped when I saw the number of news vans in the parking lot, I could tell this was going to be a very long day.
Seemingly on autopilot I followed Gary to small stage that was set up in front of the school, onstage was a podium with multiple size microphones. As I walked past the crowd many people shouted my name I gave a simple nod of acknowledgment and continued walking, camera flashes temporarily blinded me as I walked to the podium and stood next to Jenks.

Paparazzi, I inwardly sighed. I hated paparazzi they were terrible it seems like they want to publicly destroyed me and for what being famous, didn't know that was a crime. To them everything that I do has some large meaning, I were large shirt I'm pregnant, if I'm on the phone I'm talking to my lover, If I'm seen with anyone they must obviously be my new boo.

"Hello, my name is Jason Jenks I am Alex storms lawyer" Jenks spoke to now eerily quiet crowd, hundreds of sets of curious eyes peered at Jenks as he spoke. " I am here today to tell you that my client will be attending your Great school, Alex is honored to have the opportunity to spend time in your wonderful town as her grandmother Helen Swan would've wanted. It may be shocking for some of you that my client and very close friend is the granddaughter of Helen Swan one of the ancestors of the original founders of this town. This information was purposefully withheld from the public, as Alex prefers to keep her public and private life separate for a good reason" noise boomed through the once silent crowd, some yelling understanding, others cursing me for daring to keep something from them, how dare I have a private life, how dare every little aspect of my life not be laid out them to judge.

"Quiet!" Jenks commanded loudly his voice echoing speakers, The crowd slowly quieted down and everyone's eyes peered back at Jenks. "Having a private life is something everyone deserves, can you really blame her for wanting something kept quiet. The beautiful calm nature this town would have been disrupted if anybody knew her grandmother lived here, do you want paparazzi swarming here like Moths to flame! if anything you should be thanking her for preserving the calm quite feel that your town has. She was thinking in the best interest of everybody especially her grandmother." Jenk's voice shook as he spoke the last part of the speech. "Now a word from the woman herself and if there's time a Q&A" Jenks finished waving me up.

"Hi, as you all know my name is Alex storm I am honored truly honored to get to see the beauty of your wonderful small town, what I've seen so far is beautiful and I'm glad that I have gotten the chance to live here, over the next few months I hope to get you know all of you in a way that you wouldn't get to know me if you read the tabloids or magazines or watched the E! news as friends, acquaintances, comrades how ever you want to put it. I just want to be treated like a normal person like I'm just another student in your school, a kid you see walking on the street. I'm just another new student really! just because I'm famous doesn't mean I have to be treated like that, I enjoy the simple things in life as well and I hope you can see that side of me, the side I don't share with everyone; the side that's just a normal teenage girl. I hope that you can see the real of me." I finished with a nervous laugh I was really bad at speechmaking, I could sing to fully packed audience but ask me to make a speech and I'm screwed.

" Alright, there's time for some questions but please keep in mind that Alex is only human and she can't answer a million questions at once, as I speak a microphone is being passed in the crowd. Please, I can not stress this anymore please wait your turn if everyone started screaming no questions will be asked so lets try to do this in a calm orderly fashion" Jenks alerted the crowd before the questions started coming at me very fast but I managed to answer none really seemed to stick out questions were mostly simple things like what's my favorite color my favorite food favorite movie favorite TV show etc. etc. etc.
But then she came up, young looking girl with dark skin and dark green eyes, so had medium length black hair with very short bangs. Nothing seemed to stand out about her, yes she was pretty but nothing extraordinary and no her question wasn't one I had never heard before, what would stand out about this young pretty girl was The way she asked the question her voice had a slight edge to it as if the fact that she was even asking was ironic.

"I'm Bonnie, and I wanted to know if you believed in the supernatural?" She asked as through it was private joke.

Looking at the girl a smirk slowly mold itself onto my face, it was so ironic that I would get asked this question.

" A wise man once said believing isn't seeing, seeing is believing. I believe have seen" I answered my voice taking an odd cryptic tone.

Seemingly out of nowhere Damon appeared and took the the from Bonnie's hands, which caused her to glared at him to he simple responded with a raised brow and a smirk.

"What exactly have you seen?" Damon asked turning to smirk at me.

"Enough, have seen the world" I said not giving anything away. "I'm sorry folks I think I'll be off now I'm sorry is your question wasn't answered but feel free ask me anytime I love answering questions,it was nice to meet all of you. Well I best be going out school starts soon maybe ready." I said in a rush, I needed to get away from Damon that man was dangerous with a face like his I didn't know if I wanted to slap the smirk off or kiss it. Both equally dangerous options.

With a tight smile I stepped away from the podium and walked over to Gary who's looking at me with an unreadable expression.

"Are you okay Alex" he asked expression never changing.

"I'm alright Gary, I'm just tired I need some coffee Pronto" I lied with fake smile that I hope seemed sincere, I was singer not an actress.

"Alexandria" Gary started but I cut him off.

"Garret" I said with a dimpled grin, he hated being called by his full name I don't see why though I would rather be called Garret than Gary but you know what they say to each his own.

"Oh God! don't you call me." Gary exclaimed the tension between seemed to fade.

"Can we just get some coffee before rip someone's throat out, with my teeth" I groaned dramatically.

"Way to go quoting Teen Wolf" Gary giggled and skipped to the front door of the school.

I never thought I would love coffee as much as I did when I smelt it coming from the cafeteria to school, I think it's about moaned at the scent of it alone. I was so tired I thought I might die from exhausting, need caffeine now!

"Sweet sweet delicate aroma of coffee my one addiction well other than, music, true blood and teen wolf and basically the MTV shows in general like awkward and let's not forget pretty little liars I'm getting off track need coffee now. The coffee nonfat caramel Maki Otto please thank you " I said Gary and he walked over to small café in the end of the cafeteria looking down upon an empty table I sat down and wait for Gary come back. I start thinking with the café and everything maybe school wouldn't be so bad; I mean it wouldn't exactly be pleasurable but not bad, very tolerable if I can just ignore Damon Salvatore.

"one caramel nonfat Maki Otto skim soy milk instead of cream and two sugars" Gary recited my order as he set the warm steaming cup in front of me.

"My dear nonfat caramel Maki Otto shall I express the ways that I love the? Thou art my lifeline, the sun to my summers day" I express my love for the coffee and mock Shakespearian voice.

I placed a kiss on the edge of the top and gulped down the steaming hot liquid, I relish the burn as it went down. Yes, I do believe that coffee was just the doctor ordered!

"You're sitting our table "a loud female voice boomed from behind me behind me starting me slightly. I turned to look at the girl only to see a familiar face, the face from the photo. I swallowed quietly as all the blood left my face leaving it pale color ash color.

"Hello I do not believe we have met, I'm Alexandria Fleming you can call me Alex" I said hoping my fear wouldn't show though my voice, and they said I had no self-preservation.

"Look I'm sorry about yelling" the girl said slumping into the seat next to me. "It's been a long morning, my friends in the hospital and my other friends dad died and I was so rude to you" she rambled a bit before cutting her self off. "Can we just start over?" She asked, I nodded. " Well hello, I'm Elena Gilbert pleasure to meet you!" She chirped shaking my hand.

" Hello again" a slightly familiar male voice said, I looked up to find blue-green eyes looking at me.

"Steven right?" I asked knowing full well his name was Stefan.

" Ah no its Stefan" he corrected lighted.

" Well I'm Alex and this is my BFFL, my main man, my ride or die, Gary" I announced with a smile.

"So Alex I hear you helped my brother last night" Stefan spoke looking at me, god he was giving me the creeps.

"Did I now?" I asked staring into my half empty coffee cup, the once hot liquid was Luke ward and flat.

"Ah yes he was having a bad migraine" Stefan said trying to make excuse for his brothers bizarre behavior.

"Was he now?" I replied just as the bell rang, the shrill sound sound broke me from my staring contest with my cup.

Most of the day went by without problem but I couldn't shake my thoughts off of Stefan Salvatore's weird behavior what didn't he want me to know, what happened To Damon, and why is everything strange in this town lead right back to the Salvatore brothers.

I know I'm sure of a few things, Damon and Stefan Salvatore are vampires, Elena Gilbert is the exact replica of the vampire woman the picture, something strange very very strange going on this town and I will not stop until I find it and I will find it.

Its been awhile, hasn't it? I'm sorry RL has thoroughly kicked my ass from mars back and over again.

CRW. (^=^)€####
