Back to the old house. Dark. Lonely. Nothing has changed. Full of things. Things that reminds me of Damon. I need to get rid of them. I can't back down because of some stupid memories. They mean nothing to me. Not anymore. I looked around if there is anything that can be useful. I found nothing. Nothing that can help me to get over Damon. Just a picture. A picture of us. We were happy, in love. „ I HATE YOU!" I shouted as I threw the picture to the fireplace. The glass broke and the picture caught fire. I took quick breaths, tears filled my eyes as I collapsed on the floor. They weren't the tears of sadness , they were the tears of anger and desperation. It's been 135 years I am still here. Searching for Damon. And what have I? Nothing! Just a diary filled with dates, places, where he might be! But he was never. I never found him. I was late . I always late. As I was late when I tried to stop Damon from killing Gregory. But I couldn't. I couldn't save him. I looked up, my eyes were searching heavily, until I found what I was looking for. The 'Damon Documents' as I called it. Suddenly I got up and walked to my desk. I took a last look at the book, I grabbed it, took a dreep breath and then threw it in the fireplace. I don't need any fully written papers. I needed actions instead of empty words. Right now, right there I needed change. I needed to grab the situation in my hand. Needed to get closer to the fire, I didn't care anymore if I burn myself. I was desperate and the sight of determination was sparkling in my eyes. Instead of watching the actions from the background I needed to do them by myself. I had enough. This time I won't fail, because I am not fear! It takes no fear, and finally I thought for the first time, after so many years that I was finally ready. Ready to kill Damon. At any price.
...
First day of school. For me first day of my new life. Less thinking, more actions. I am going to go to Mystic Falls High. I heard some very interesting gossips that the other Salvatore brother is studying here. Interesting,and a little bit unbelievable that a 162 years old vampire wants to go to school, but it worths a try. So I will also study here to get a little bit closer to Stefan. He don't know me, so until the time that Damon shows up I can play a little bit with him.
„Hello! Are you a new student here?" I needed to come back for a while from my evil plan as a boy was talking to me. He had light brown hair and blue eyes. He was quite handsome. A little bit like Gregory. Hm.. maybe I could play with him a little bit too.
„Uhm…Sorry?" I realised he was still looking at me waiting for a response. There was just one problem that I didn't know the question.
„I asked if you are a new student?" He answered with a charming smile.
„Yes." I answered dumbly. I am 152 years old, but I still can't talk to handsome boys." I am looking for the history class, can you tell me where is it?" I asked not to look so dumb..just…lost. Yeah..that would be good. The lost, innocent new girl. Maybe you can show me the right way you beautiful creature. As I was thinking of him and me and maybe a bed. I saw that his mouth was moving..and maybe he was answering me.. shit..I didn't hear him again. But not to look so dumb I nodded. How will I find the class? Argh. Why are you so handsome? He was just standing there waiting for me to do something. I need less thinking comee oon. More action, less thinking. New me.
„ Thank you for the directions" I answered finally with my most charming smile and headed into the wrong direction, that I realised when his hands were landed on me and pulled me back.
„ The history class is in the other direction." He tried to hide his smile but he couldn't."I have history too, let me guide you there. You are not good with navigation, are you?"
„Not really much." I laughed. Then I remembered Damon. I have never found him. Was it beacuse I am wrong with navigation? Hmm…
„By the way, I am Matt."He looked down at me and handing me his hand. It was strange. I have never shook a hand with a man before. But I finally took his hand. OMG they were so soft I would hold them all day.
„Caithlyn." I said finally and took my hand back before he realises that this was a really long (aaaand a great) handshaking and before the situation gets awkward and weird. It already did. Never mind. And it was about to get weirder. As I stepped into the class room I came face to face with the second person I have never wanted to see in my life again. Katherine. I was shocked. If she realises that she knows me everything is over. My plans. My future. My nonexistent realitionship with Matt. I hope he don't know Damon. He is too handsome to be killed. Back to Katherine. Did she realise me?
„ I am sorry." She apologised.
„Nothing." Yesss! She didn't realise me. Maybe today is my lucky day. But I don't understand something. Why did she apologise? Her acting …she was nothing like Katherine. Is it a trap?
„Elena wait!" A dark haired, tanned skinned girl shouted after her. Elena? Did she change her name? And she was acting weird as well. Kind and nothing like Katherine. Maybe…is it possible…that she isn't Katherine? And then realisation hit me. I know what she is! If she is not Katherine, but her look is just like hers…She must be a doppelganger. A doppelganger of Katherine. If she can have a doppelganger why can't I? Well…maybe one of me is more than enough. Wait…maybe that is the reason why Stefan and I think Damon are back. To get to know her. I need to get to know her as well, see if she is a Kathetine type or not. Mentioning Stefan in my head if he was a mind reader he was standing right next to me trying to get into the classroom as he heard the sound of the bell. As I was new I needed to find a place to sit. My luckiness hit me again, as the only non occupied seat was in front of that beautiful thing, called Matt. I smiled at him as I sat down. I felt myself weird. I didn't feel like that for a long time. I was embarassed and confused. I couldn't concentrate. And not just because of the tought that's if Stefan is here and he is here because of Katherine's doppelganger, Damon must be here as well…and finally I can take revenge, but I had also a strange feeling about that Matt was sitting behind me. I just met him but I felt something. No!no!no! I need to focus. I need to focus on my aim. To get rid of Damon. He could easily kill Matt as well if he wants to, saying that I am HIS thing. I can't allow it.
I was having such toughts when the bell rang again.
I tried. I tried not to think about Matt. But you know how hard it is not to think about somebody who is almost perfect. And if that is not enough he asked me out. Well, kind of…ok maybe not…but the asking part was right…and the out too…just it didn't meant the right thing. He said if Iwanted to I can meet him later at Mystic Grill, he will introduce me to his friends. I hope Elena will be there. And Stefan. Ching-Chang my revenge bell is ringing.
...
I have never had friends. I was always a loner. How can I be a social person while I am a never-getting-old vampire? Well I can't ask just random people that: Hey you are so sweet can we be friends? And when I know that we are real friends can I drink your blood? I know I have charming smile, but uhm not that charming. So it was awkward to sit between Bonnie ( the girl who shouted after Elena) and Matt in a total silence. Bonnie was a nice girl, but when she gave me a shot and touched my hand she looked shocked and terrified if she was just woke up from a bad dream. I don't know what was it, I asked her if she is ok, but she changed the subject quickly to a waaaaay more interesting topic. Now I know , that Matt is Elena's exboyfriend and he is not over her. Why do I fall into the same mistake again? First Damon and Katherine, now Matt and Elena. Pff…Bitches.
„She said anything about me?" Matt asked. Right subject.
„Oh no! I am so not getting in to the middle. You pick up the phone and call her!"Please. No. Really if she as bitchy as Katherine she will just only hurt you. Trust me.
„I feel weird calling her, she broke up with me." Ouch. How can somebody broke up with a boy like that?
„Give her more time Matt". Haha..Bonnie you are so naive, that it's even cute.
„More time huh?" Matt said suddenly. I looked at the direction where he was staring at. It was Elena. With Stefan. It hurts, isn't it? I said so. Wait. One day? Really one day? And you get a Salvatore brother? How is it even possible? I need a plastic surgery! Right now. My loving life was going terrible at least my plan was going on a right way. Stefan and Elena sat down to our table. Phase one: Gain new friendships. Come on say something.
„So you were born in Mystic Falls?"Caroline (she joined us at the time she have seen Stefan. She looks a little but like a rich chick. Maybe she is nice and her friendship might comes in handy) asked, before I could even say a word.
„Yes and I moved when I was still young." Stefan replied. But he can only concentrate on one thing. And that was Elena.
„Parents?" Bonnie asked him. Delicate area.
„My parents passed away." Damon had told me about that. Tragedy.
„I'm sorry." Elena said sympatheticly. I saw she was honest. Weird. Same look. Different person.
„Do you have any siblings?" Ooohh yeah. He has. But not for so long.
„None that I talk to."Wait. What? Did he just lied? Oh Stefan I heard you are a good boy but lying such things….not a good move. „I live with my uncle." So he lives in the boarding house. I noted it.
Sometimes it is more interesting if you are just listening to the dialogues than take part in them. With this technique you can make your own comments in your head without anybody being hurt or realising you. I feel myself like a spy. Hmm Caitlyn 007.
Suddenly everybody turned to me. Am I missing something? Shit.. I did it again. I thought too much. Not concentrating on the actions. Why everybody is looking at me? Say something cool. Say something cool. Come oooon.
„What's up guys?" Applause. That was dumb."I mean why are you all looking at me like that?" I tried not to blush and made a stupid smile.
„You missed the question again, right?" Matt asked me with a perky smile.
„Kind of." I laughed. „ Sorry can you , somebody repeat the question?"
„What are you doing in Mystic Falls? Why are you here?" Bonnie asked me with a little bit suspicious smile. Is she knowing something? She didn't seems familiar to me. She can't be a vampire. Then what is she?
„Chasing my destiny. I lost my family a long time ago. Then I travelled around the world searching for something, someone. Now I am back."I replied secretevly. It sounded cool, a little bit melodramatic. Lika a Brazil soap opera.
„What you mean about back? Did you live here earlier?" Bonnie asked in a more courious tone.
„Yes I was born here. But after the tragedy I needed to move. I couldn't stay here anymore." I didn't like the way she was glaring at me.
„What kind of tragedy?"Why is it so interesting to everybody?
„Bonnie!" Elena hushed her.
„It's never mind." I tried to look cool. „ But now I have to go. It was nice meeting you guys. See you around." I said as I waved good bye to everyone. I could have told them the tragedy. But it was too risky. Maybe Stefan remembered and then if he finds out who I am my plan is over. I made my phase for today. Tick. Tomorrows challenge: get closer.
As I was heading towards the door I heard the last part of their interesting conversation.
„So Stefan. If you new than you don't know about the party tomorrow?" Karoline asked with a lot of hope in her voice.
„It's a back to school thing at the falls." Bonnie explained.
Hmm… a party. I like parties. Maybe I could step in as a suprise, everybody loves suprise guest, aren't they? I like when my plan is going on right ways.
...
As I led back to my bed I felt happy. I watched the flames in the fireplace. I grabbed an empty book and started to write. A new chapter. A new chapter of my life. To the first page I wrote the following: Think less, Act more! And the title of the book became: Completion of Revenge.
