Inside Mystic Falls ~ The Vampire Diaries

Salvatore Daycare Centre

The Reed family used to visit Mystic Falls. Juliet still wasn't comfortable with the town but it was better then her old home.

She knew some kids around here. Not everyone, but some. She used to come here with her family and visit family friends and go to formal parties. All of that stopped when the attacks started.

When they started, the family stopped coming.

She was only familiar with the town square and a few other areas. Mystic Grill used to be a closed down resturante. The coffee shop was a sunglasses shop and the old public school was turned into a private school, now the public school Mystic Falls High is much closer to home.

Her auntie used to live in Mystic Falls as a reporter. Andie Star. Andie Star Reed. She was in an accident at work. Well, they called it an accident.

Her house was given to Juliet's family after she died. It them a while to consider even stepping foot in Mystic Falls, and in dead womans house, now that was a big step.

"They have her sister, whoever they are" Elena whispered into Damon's ear. Juliet was shivering on the couch next to Matt and Jeremy.

Caroline brought her to the house along with the vampire Caspar.

"I know but still, they're siblings. She should be happy that she doesn't have to share a room with her. Come on, they can't have been that close. I wasn't that close with Blis-... Stefan" Damon admitted, using a change of words.

Juliet leaned on Matt's shoulder. He cradeled her while her tears dropped onto his grey T-Shirt.

"It's okay" He hushed her as she wept. He placed his chin over her head as he held her close.

Jeremy watched her cry on Matt's shoulder. He wished he could do something to help her. He couldn't bare watching her cry next to him.

He felt sympathy for one reason. He'd lost his family too. His mom, his dad, his aunt, his friends, two of his girlfriends and now, maybe even Elena.

He listened to Matt telling her 'it's okay' and 'everything's going to be fine', but would it? Her life is ruined and there's nothing she could do about it.

"What I don't understand is, why now? There must be other druids in town. Caroline told me that the vampire boy said" Elena stating, taking the glass of gin that Damon passed her.

Damon poured himself a glass too. He was bored out of his mind. He didn't know why she was imeidietly brought into everything like she had been there from the start.

"So what are the druids? Aren't they witches?" Elena asked, dissrupting Damon's deep thought.

He shook his head. "They're not exactly witches, more like... psychics"

"Psychichs?"

Caroline and Caspar left the house. Elena, Damon, Matt and Jeremy left Juliet alone crying in the living room.

The stood behind the dinner table discussing what they were going to do with her.

"Well she can't stay here. It's too dangerous. These wolves already know she's here" Damon spoke bitterly

Elena turned out to be the only one who agreed with Damon. The other two boys shook there heads. "We can protect her"

"You don't think I know that? I know you can, but just here me out. You can keep protecting her over and over again if she lives here, but if she lives somewhere else, they won't be any need for fighting off wolves cause they won't know where she is... for the time being" When Elena finished her sentence badly, Jeremy gave her a look that told her his point was proven even though it wasn't.

Matt came into conversation with the question that kept appearing in his head. "Say she does leave, where would she go. She hasto stay in town"

"Matt of course, she wont be leaving town unless she wants too. Don't worry," Shen turned to face Damon, "How about Stefan?"

Damon snorted. Matt gave an approving look. "With Saint Stefan? Really, first he's just some ex-boyfriend of yours, then he's your personal daycare centre for your strays? Your have got a mean streak, grrr"

Elena ignored Damon's comments then turned to see the boys. Matt looked just about okay with it, but Jeremy didn'y seem to approve of the idea.

Salvatore Boarding House, 11:22 pm

The car stopped in the driveway. The Boarding house, Juliet had seen before.

It was more like a mansion to Juliet then a house. Matt helped her out of the car as Elena got her suitecase out of the car boot.

They walked to the door. Elena knocked hard on the door creating a big enough noise that you could hear it from a mile away.

"Stefan? Stefan?" She called, hoping to reach someone on the otherside of the door.

The door opened as soon as Elena called. A handsome yet brooding young man. He was tall and muscular. His chisled features stood out and his body was wet like he had just got out of the shower.

"Elena? What are you doing here?" He asked, noticing Matt, but not the blonde behind him.

Elena and Matt stepped back revealing Juliet's presence. "Stefan, this is Juliet Reed"
