'The Other Swan' (Twilight/Vampire Diaries Fan Fiction)

...The Dream...

I sat with my feet in the sand and I read a journal I'd kept with me. It was detailed, descriptive and I couldn't read it anymore so I closed it. I looked at the blonde girl that sat in front of me and I sighed wiping my face. I shook my head and slid the diary back to her. I dug my toes deeper into the sand and buried my face between my knees as I tried to ignore the guilt eating away at me.

"This is going to be a long day," I said and I stood up. "Why now?" I asked her after a while and she stood up as well.

"I just need you to read it, please. He asked me to give this to you if I ever found you. Whether it be at your grave or in person," she told me and she ran off.

She left the journal behind and I grunted before I read it again. 'I miss her, I love her, I have to find her,' I read and I closed the journal.

"So tell me Lorenzo you know what I am, this is correct?" I asked him looking at my hands.

"Yes,"

"Yet, you insist on still being with me. Why is this?" I asked him.

"Because you're the only family I have," he said and leaned in for a kiss.

"What do you dream to be one day?" I asked him and he smiled.

"I want to be a soldier one day. I want to fight for what's right," he said smiling at the idea and so did I.

"Where is he?" I asked a woman.

"He left this morning and we haven't been able to find him,"

"But what was wrong with him?" I asked.

"He has consumption," the woman said.

"Consumption?" I asked mortified and she nodded.

I grabbed the woman's arm and I looked into her eyes.

"You will forget Enzo and I ever came here. You will forget my existence and carry on with whatever you were doing before we came here," I told her and left.

"You're going after him?" a woman asked. "We're building something big in Mystic Falls Aria. You're just going to give that up for some man?" the woman continued.

"He is just not some man, Katherine, he is going to be my husband and I love him. Maybe if you stopped roping the two Salvatore brothers you'd understand what love was," I told her and I walked away

"You don't walk away from this! We worked too hard for too long Aria and I'm not going to let you walk away from this!" she said and I grabbed her by her neck.

"Don't you ever threaten me. I have to find him, I can't have him thinking I abandoned him," I told her.

"We will find him,"

"What if he's already dead?" I asked her.

"He's not. I can feel it. Please just help us for a few days and then you can go look for him. Please?" she asked and I nodded. I wiped my tears and I went back into my room and changed into a dress that best suited the evening. When I got into the hall I saw Katherine dancing with Stefan and Damon looking very sad and unloved.

"Mr. Salvatore would you care to dance with me?" I asked him and he smiled a little.

"I would be honoured," he said and took my hand.

"Lorenzo!?" I asked as I walked through the streets.

He looked at me and just carried on walking. I walked towards him as fast as I could at my human pace and I caught up with him. When I held his hand I got a chill down my spine.

"What do you want from me? You left me to die and you didn't even come back to look for me,"

"What do you mean I left you to die? I looked for you everywhere, I've been looking for you," I told him.

"You're a witch for crying out loud Aria and you're saying you couldn't have done one simple spell to find me?" he asked and I stuttered.

"And to think at one point I loved you," he said and he walked away.

"Don't say that! I know you love me," I told him.

"Aria, you left me for dead! How can I love a woman like that?" he asked.

"Lorenzo please," I begged him.

"Goodbye,"

Bella violently shook me until I returned to conscious state with my hand on her throat. When I finally opened my eyes she stopped and I removed my hand before crushing her airway. I looked up at the ceiling and I took a deep, long breath as I felt my clothes sticking to my body then she gave me a hug. I tried to push her off because I was hot and didn't want anyone to touch me. I felt myself shaking internally and then my dad came barging through the door running to my side. Clearly they didn't know why I was shaking them off so I stood up and leaned against the wall on the other side of the room. I looked out the window and I wiped my face.

"What happened this time?" Bella asked me.

"Nothing. Nothing happened," I lied to her and she furrowed her brows.

"I think you should see someone," my dad told me.

"Dad, I'm okay. I don't need to see a therapist. Go back to whatever you were doing before- I'm fine. I don't want you guys to worry,"

Both Bella and Charlie pursed their lips but I walked out of my room before they could lecture me and headed off to take a shower. I stood under the shower head for a while and then I put on some running gear. I stretched outside and I took a deep breath before starting my run. So lost in my own mind I wasn't aware of how far I'd run. I came back to normal when I was only a step away from falling into a river. I stopped immediately and took a step back. I sat down and looked at my hands.

"He's a vampire," a voice said.

"What do you mean he's a vampire?" I asked looking up.

"Lillian turned him and then had to jump shop because of the Gemini coven,"

"So my love is still alive?" I asked him and he nodded.

"We have to go and get him," I told him.

"We can't," was all he would say.

"What do you mean we can't?" I asked through my teeth.

"Aria don't argue with me, now trust me when I say you cannot go after him," the man advised me and I turned around.

"He'll think I abandoned him. I won't let this happen again. Katherine used this on me once and I won't let you do it again, I am going to find him," I told the man.
