A/N: A new chapter, this was was quicker than others even though I'm not sure if people read this story or any with April Young. I try to keep her a real character, three dimensional, so if you read the story, just leave a comment saying your thoughts. It would make my day.

Chapter Three: You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger

Something curious about the vampire situation in Mystic Falls is that everyone in town seems to know and yet act like they are just animal attacks. April doesn't get it, and somehow, she just wishes the people in the town were truthful about everything, her father wasn't one and he ended up dead leaving her orphan and hanging in a town that most people saw her as defenseless and useless.

After being attacked and almost died at the hands of the girl she thought was her friend, April isn't sure on who to trust. But she definitely doesn't like the feeling of being useless and not being able to protect herself.

Not that she can do something now, with thousands of people in the recently opened Church and with the Council around, with her on Miss Mystic duties that right now make her want to kill herself. She doesn't recognize many, but she is serving the drinks and smiling, keeping the guest happy. On the inside, April is dying to get out of the place. It doesn't help it's her father's anniversary death' date and she just wants to leave the place.

Not that she could leave to New Orleans again. Rebekah was clearly not there and she had no other friends. She could stay with Jeremy or Matt but it was pointless as well, she had been avoiding them since everything with Silas went down.

"You don't look so happy to be here, puppet." The mysterious accent is matching a face she hasn't seen in a while. Not that she knew him. But she did knew the name; Enzo. Tall, dark, handsome.

A vampire.

April almost jumped. Almost. She played it cool though, because for a moment there she didn't really thought that vampires could get into Church-she blames the movies- but then she remembers last year and so, she eases the beating of her heart. But from the look on Enzo's face, he already felt it.

"I would give you a drink but I'm sure that what you like you can't have in Church." April mentioned with a loud lump coming from her throat before eying the amused vampire, who went to pour himself a drink by himself. She doesn't even realize she is tense until she feels his eyes on her again.

"Aren't you a spunky one? And here I thought you were all jumpy skin and bones." April manages to look around at the oblivious town folks, she wonders if they know that he is a vampire and so she tries to get away from him. Not happening as she can hear steps following her.

"Do vampires think that sulking and mysterious with a dash of stalker are a quality a girl likes this days?" April whispers the word vampire, afraid to even say it on her father's church, but she does hear a chuckle. "Because it's not."

"I just want to chat, puppet. And I see you are using the shoes I gave you." That made her stop on her heels, turning slightly around as she cached another smug smile on his lips. So that was him. She should've known. "I find that I have excellent taste in women's shoes."

"That's concerning." There is a little clear of her throat as she glances down at her shoes. It was true though. He did have a nice taste in shoes for a man. "Now, please, leave. I don't want to find any of my friends with their neck snapped."

"So come with me. You sure look like you want to get out of here, love." He leans down to face her and that's when she finally sees his green eyes for the first time clearly. April thinks she would die because he has very intense eyes. "Come on, puppet."

"Stop calling me that." She mumbles under her breath as she just starts walking outside of the Church and into the breeze of the night. Instantly she wraps her arms around her body, forgetting she left her small coat inside. "I don't even know you and I want no business with the vampire deal of this town."

"It seems to be that you already are." His hand slightly touches the bracelet Jeremy gave her with vervain and it brings memory of the night she pulled a dagger out of Rebekah's heart."I'm a friend of Damon's." Oh great. She didn't know Damon much. She just knows he seems dangerous.

"I like Stefan better." It might be related to the fact Stefan saved her from dying that one time at the school. Or maybe because he was just nice. Enzo laughs because he figures all girls prefer Stefan. He thinks it has something to do with his infatuation with being a bloody hero. "What's your deal with me?"

"You just intrigue me. I mean, you are obviously aware of the supernatural and make no attempt to get away from it. You stay in town and word says, you are friend with an Original." Enzo shrugs as if the information was nothing out of the blue, but for April, it was, she never guessed that her relationship with Rebekah was an open discussion. "It's funny how a little puppet like you survives. And I'm extremely bored."

"Well, get a life because I'm not a source of entertainment." April said with a small nod of her head and started walking inside once again. She turned around, as if to get the last word. "And please stop calling me p-" But he was already gone.

"Jackass." She mumbles before entering the church once again. On the side of the road, Enzo was laughing and went on the car to meet up with Damon, they had a revenge to do.
