My Best Friend -Stefan Salvatore-

The History

      Running from my past is what my life has become. 519 years of running to be exact, and counting. Running from my enemies, even from my best friends. So that I wouldn't be caught and used. I am Amelia Natasza Górka, I am 537 years old and was turned into a bloodsucking monster at the age of 18 by an original vampire named Elijah Mikaelson. I was to be used for a ritual, where I would be drained and killed for my blood. I somehow charmed my way into Elijah's heart and he fed me his blood, and killed me before the ritual was to take place. Niklaus, another original vampire with wolf issues, was furious, and so I ran. The day I had been taken from my family I promised myself, once I escaped, that's where I would go. So I ran all the way back home.

I returned to Poland in the year of 1490, to my family, only to find them slaughtered like pigs. The only surviving family member I had was my smallest brother Peter. I ran from my homeland, with my brother, and found a nice little town in Italy. In 1503 my brother died of Tuberculosis at the age of 17. Even though he died so young, he lived a good, happy, normal life. I kept away as many evil things as I possibly could to let him live, but I wasn't able to stop the disease. I learned how to control, and keep body count low throughout the years. I figured out, that emotions were heightened, I figured out that daylight burns, I figured out how wood hurts a lot when its jabbed into your body, and I also figured out the switch that turns off your emotions. No pain, remorse, or guilt. After my brother died I flipped that switch immediately and couldn't care less. I also killed most of the town then fled to Bulgaria. Where I kept my temper in check for at least 2 years, then started killing people again. I got word that Niklaus was near so I ran, again. Over and over and over again for over 300 years, I ran from him. My humanity switch remained off and there was no one to help me.

In 1858 I was in New York, looking to feed off a town. I had become a monster and there wasn't anyone to stop me. I met a girl, by the name of Lexi Branson, and she was the help I needed. She somehow helped me reach my switch to my emotions, and they turned back on. After 5 years of her help, we became best friends, she found my emotional trigger. She swore to me that if she heard about me creating havoc on a town, she would be there to help. Before we went our separate ways, as a departing gift, she found a witch and presented me with a daylight ring.

In 1863 after I left Lexi, I found a small town in Virginia called Mystic Falls. I lived as a high class lady, waiting for someone to take her hand in marriage, when in reality, I was a low class peasant with no family left. But nothing a little compulsion can't do. I suppose I had caught the eye of a very handsome man from one of the founding families, because I was soon invited to stay at the Salvatore Household. I fed, healed and erased the memory of anyone I drank from. I also knew the Salvatore family wouldn't want to keep me just because their son Damon had an eye for me, so in turn I told them about having no family and making up a reason as to why I could never return home and appreciated their hospitality. And for an entire year I was careful of what I did, who was around, who I fed on, and it was all ruined by a girl named Katherine Pierce. She ruined the life I had been living here, and I hated her for that. Once she came things got worse and worse each day. The only good part about all this is that I wasn't kicked out of the house. Damon eventually lost interest in me when Kathrine would take pleasure in leading him on, then turning around and doing the same to his brother, Stefan, making them both think it was for love. The founders of Mystic Falls began to get anxious and weary when they started finding dead bodies everywhere. They figured it must be vampires, and we all see how this is a problem for me. Giuseppe Salvatore, figured it out about Kathrine, and took her away, but not before feeding both brothers her blood. There was this whole commotion about these newcomers being vampires and they were taken away. I packed my things as quickly as possible, and ran into Damon's room, where he was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. I told him that I was leaving before they could find me, and that he would be missed, and I gave him a last goodbye kiss on the cheek. Stefan, who had become my best friend in the past year, was a different story. I was most upset to leave Stefan behind, knowing I wouldn't ever see him again. I gave him a giant hug, told him that he was the best friend I never had and finally got, and that I would miss him the most. I went back to my room, grabbed my things, and jumped out my window and ran.

In the years following, I visited Mystic Falls as much as I could. I watched people grow up, and have good lives. I even found out about the Salvatore Boarding House, owned by many Salvatore's, and watched whoever owned it, grow. It was fun, watching people have a life. Something I will never have, thanks to myself for agreeing to become a vampire. I modernized my name, Amy Gorden, and introduced myself like that. If I wasn't in Mystic Falls, I was traveling and making sure Klaus, as he now called himself, couldn't find me. Somehow, someway, I always find myself back in that small town of Mystic Falls.

In 2009 I bought a nice, small house, in Mystic Falls and signed up for the upcoming school year, where I would pose as a Junior. The times now are so different from last century. I think settling down in Mystic Falls wouldn't be such a bad idea. Running from Klaus wastes my energy, and if he kills me it wouldn't be the worst thing, because I have lived for a good 537 years, even if I was running, I have finally come to terms with dying if he finds me. Only if  he finds me. Time to start my new life.
