Attraction to Valentina, The Vampire Diaries

Welcome to Mystic Falls

Nerves. Such an annoying feeling, it can lead to anxieties, a sick feeling, being on edge. This is how Valentina was feeling at this moment driving towards a town called Mystic falls. She was usually a confident girl, but meeting someone who is apparently your birth mother does that to you.

There it was, the Welcome to Mystic falls sign. Val drove slower taking in everything she was passing by, she drove to the centre of town seeing a few shops and a bar with a sign which said The grill, Val thought it was a good idea to go for a drink so she pulled up her white Mercedes into a car park spot and started to walk towards The Grill.

Her dads (even though they weren't her biological dads she still classed them as her dads) were rich so they gave her a lot of money for this trip and even surprised her with the White Mercedes.

It was 7am so there was barely anyone around. Vals flight was at a random time in the night so her sleep schedule was pretty fucked up. She decided to ignore it though as she wanted to do a lot today.

She walked in and sat at the bar, she ordered a drink of bourbon. The Bartender asked to see her ID as she was only 18 and looked it. Valentina sighed, "am I seriously gonna have to use my curse on you." She mumbled quiet enough so he couldn't here what she said.

"Excuse me." He asked. Val rolled her eyes and slightly leant over the bar. She looked into the bartenders brown eyes with her grey ones and said. "You don't need to see it, now fetch be a cup of bourbon please." While she said this, her eyes slightly turned from grey into a shade of purple.

The man had a dazed look and just nodded and went off making her a drink. She smirked at that and leaned back into her seat. her eyes have gone back to there usual colour now.

"Why are you drinking this early?" A voice came from the side of her. She turned around to see there was a handsome man sat across from her. He had dark hair and crystal blue eyes. "Why are you?" She replies lifting one eyebrow with a smirk on her face similar to what he was doing.

"I've been here since last night." He says with a slight giggle. "Wow..so your an alcoholic?" She questions him with sarcasm in her voice.

"You could say that." He says taking a big swig of his drink. The Bartender comes and gives Valentina her glass of Bourbon. " Thank you." She smiles innocently to the Guy behind the bar. He nodded and walks off.

"Great choice." The blue eyed guy says holding up his drink. "Snap." She says giggling then chugs half of her drink away.

"So I saw what you did there to the Bartender." The guys says putting the girl on the spot.

She looked straight into his eyes and tried to see what he was thinking. Shit she thought realising he was suspicious about what he saw. She quickly shoved the nerves aside and said. "I don't know what your talking about."  At that moment she forgot that whenever she uses her powers her eyes go purple so looking into his mind, it must of been obvious that he saw what happened to her eyes.

As she quickly chugged down the rest of her drink the man says "your eyes...they turned purple." Val pretends she can't hear him and gets out her purse and places money down on the table for the Bartender. She starts to get up.."well it was nice to meet you.." she was waiting for a name.

"Damon." He replies still confused about what just happened. "Damon." She repeats "but I have things to do so will you excuse me." She walks away and out the door without waiting for a reply.

She gets in her car and starts to drive to a house address she was given, it was where her mother was supposed to live. She tried to push aside what happened the grill, going into Damon's mind it was obvious he was hiding a secret too.

Valentina finally arrives at the house and pulls up beside it. It was about 7:30 am now and was hoping whoever lived there were awake. She checked in the car mirror at her reflection and smirked. Val was a very attractive girl, she could get whatever guy she wanted.

Getting out the car her nerves started to sink in again. She walked up to the door and knocked a few times. After a minute or so the door swung open and she was met face to face with a blonde girl who looked similar aged. "Hi, Erm, how can I help you?" The girl asked confused but politely looking me up and down.

"Hi, my name is Valentina Blake and I'm looking for a women named Elizabeth Forbes," Val asked shyly.

"Oh that's my mom, I like your accent by the way, very posh. Wait inside here a minute and I will go get her." She said and walked upstairs. Val thought it was funny that she complimented her accent, well she was in America after all so her voice will stick out like a saw thumb.

Valentina took a step in the house and waited. She was excited to here that the girl may be her sister.

After a bit of waiting, an older blonde women came down, wearing a police suite. Vals heart began to race knowing that she is face to face with her true mother.

"Hello?" The women said to Val softly. "Hi I'm Valentina an-" before she could say anything else the women started having tears in her eyes and said, " Val, my baby." She said and brought Valentina into a big embrace. Valentina instantly started to cry and said "Mother?" Liz pulled away and smiled nodding.

"Yes I'm your mom, I can't believe your here, I thought I'd never see you again." Liz said.

"But how did you recognise me straight away." Val asked laughing with a tear rolling down her face.

"Well Valentina isn't a very common name, and I remember your sparkling grey eyes from when you were a baby." Liz replies.

"Mom what's going on?" The younger  blonde girl asked confused. "This is your sister Caroline, I had her a year before you were born, but it was an accident, and I I may have cheated on your dad, it was just a random hook-up, I felt so guilty about it afterwards, then I found out I was pregnant and I had to tell your father. He forgave me but said once I have the child I can either keep it and leave him or put it up for adoption and stay with him. I I was scared and I wasn't ready for a baby, I loved your father, so Once I had Valentina I put her up for adoption." The three of them were all in tears by now. Liz turned to Valentina.

"I'm so so sorry for not keeping you, it was a mistake, I hope one day you can forgive me," Liz says sobbing.

"Of course I will forgive you, we can start over, and I'm even more happy because I have a sister too." Val said. Valentina and Caroline hugged and they all talked it out. Val and Caroline didn't look much alike but got on really well.

Val told liz about her journey here and liz insisted that Valentina will stay with them as they have a spare room. Val agreed and brought all of her stuff from the car in and put them into her new room.
