Mystic Falls.
A place I never thought I'd end up returning too.
Two years ago I'd left telling my mom it was to go to college to pursue a career in writing. But that was a lie. I've become a monster...something to normal people is unnatural, a werewolf. I still can't wrap my head around it. My mother is a normal human and so is my dad. Even though he left my sister and I when we were little I know he's not supernatural either. For two years I traveled the world trying to find the answer as to why I'm different but no one can give me an answer. Mom begged me to come home seeing as my younger sister Caroline was almost about to graduate high school in 2 years. Caroline will be turning 17 years old and I'll be turning 25, so there's only an 8 year difference between us.

Turning in the parking lot of the grill I entered the bar taking a seat to see Matt Donavan behind the bar. "Matty is that you!" I exclaimed as he smiled coming to ask my order. "Y/n. I can't believe it. You're mom said you might be coming into town. What can I get you?" Just as I'm about to answer someone slides on the barstool to my left shoulder cutting me off. "Well, hello. Can I have a scotch and whatever this beautiful woman is having?" My eyes stare at the man with tousled light brown hair and blue eyes. Obviously attractive.

"I don't talk to strangers. But thanks for the drink." Matt hands me a bourbon and I slowly drink it. "Then let's change that. Hi, I'm Alaric Saltzman. But my friends call me Ric." He sticks out his right hand smiling once I slowly shake his hand. "Y/n, Y/n Forbes." He takes a sip of his drink. "Forbes. You're Caroline's sister-" I cut him off suprised he knows Care considering I've never seen him in town when I was here two years ago. "You know Care. How?" He sits his glass down as my phone vibrates flashing that it's to tell me almost dark. A full moon is coming tonight. "I'm a high school history teacher. She's in my class. Are you okay?" He reaches for my hand for me to see a designer ring.

Looking into his eyes I gulp feeling my wolf urges trying to break free. Getting up from the barstool quickly I try and leave. "I'm fine Ric. I - I have to go...ah!" Once I'm outside I see it's already dark and my ankle starts breaking making me droo on the ground. Footsteps approach me and I feel hands grab me as my knees break. "Hey Y/n. What's happening. Let me help." I scream feeling the pain shoot through my whole body. Opening my eyes I sense the golden glow baring my teeth I growl. "Get away Alaric - I'll hurt you. I'm a werewolf!" My bones keep breaking until I feel him pick me up bridal style driving us into the middle of the woods he sits me on the ground.

"Alaric, get out of...gggrr!" My voice turns into a wolf growl seeing him rummage around his truck. He loads an old crossbow getting on his knees in front of me. "So simply I'm a vampire hunter. I'm not gonna leave you out here by yourself." My fangs break free locking onto his blue eyes. Closing my eyes I fully let the transfer happen remembering it hurts more if you fight it. My paws feel the earth beneath me, my nose and ears picked up everything faster and I see my light brown fur reflecting off his truck mirrors. "Y/n..." A stranger's voice makes me get in fighting stance and knocking the enemy down on their back.

"Y/n it's me, Ric..." Lowering my nose I snarl my teeth inches from his face staring into blue eyes. My wolf turns its head as if it's confused. The man under my paws slowly raised his right hand brushing my fur, whispering. "I won't hurt you. I'm here to help...." I climb off his chest sitting on my butt feeling him complimenting me both hands slowly running over my fur. "Oohh you're a good girl. Such a good girl." My tail wags back and forth excitedly my ears picking up the sound of the wind and the howling of other wolves. I start howling to the moon running off to chase something I'm not sure what.

The next morning I slowly stretch my limbs squinting my eyes to see I'm in a truck I don't recognize. "Morning. Don't worry we're almost to your house." A man's voice makes me jump in my seat seeing the guy from the bar last night. Alaric. "Ric...how am I in your car?" He glances my direction sighing. "Y/n, don't freak out but I know you're supernatural. I brought you to the woods to help you last night." Suddenly I blush a deep red thinking he saw me naked this morning. I'd never slept with anyone before so if he saw me that's so embarrassing. "I didn't see anything. Just closed my eyes and helped you put some clothes on." Thank goodness.

Finally we reach my house I unbuckle my seatbelt to see I'm wearing a long grey tea shirt and blue jeans. Looking in the rearview mirror I see my hairs a mess reaching up I pull out some leaves and sticks. Alaric opens my car door helping me out. "Thank you for helping me. I hope I didn't cause you too much trouble last night." He shakes his head no handing me my torn clothes and car keys. "It was no problem. I'm friends with a vampire so - I'm getting used to this stuff. Call me later and I'll take you up to the Grill to get your car." Nodding my head I slowly head for the front door I look to see his phone number in my phone. I must have kept my phone screen unlocked last night.

"Y/n?" Glancing over my shoulder my hair falling everywhere I replied. "Yeah Ric?" He shoved his hands in his pockets the sun lightened his hair. "I'm right to assume you're sister and mom don't know about  - that you're a wolf?" Shaking my head yes I tuck some of my hair behind my ear nervously. Caroline had called me on the way here explaining that she was a vampire and I told her I could never be afraid of her. "As far as she knows I'm human. It's - safer for the both of us."

He simply nodded looking to his feet, glancing to his watch. "Well I better go. Gotta grade papers. See you soon Y/n." I waved bye as he got in his car reaching my front door. Resting my hand on the doorknob I take a deep breath. Hopefully this old town won't have too much excitement. "Mystic Falls, I'm back."

Authors note
Okay I know it's not a good start. Or maybe it is, you tell me.

I haven't watched the Vampire Diaries in years so it'll take me a little bit to get more detailed in my chapters.
