I was tired of the drama. It surrounds the small town like a dark thunder cloud. So I left. Only told my mum Scott and Isaac I was very good a hiding things and now it's time for me to explore. Pulling up to a small dinner restaurant thing and smiling I was starving had been on the road for hours. I walk in my heels clicking on the wooden floor drawing attention to me. By the looks I was getting I'd say it's like beacon Hills everyone knows everyone. Walking to the bar "vodka please" "I'm going to have to see your I'd" pulling out my fake Id stiles made me way back and showing it. I could tell he wasn't expecting that but none the less hurries away to get my drink.
Sitting at the bar glancing around taking in my surroundings. "Hey" I practically jump not expecting anyone to talk to me. I knew she was there but I thought she was ordering something. "Sorry I'm Caroline you new in town" I nod "I think you knew the answer before you came over I'm Elliot by the way" holding out my hand for her to shake which she happily does. I smell something I have never smelt before something different unusual kinda like death. Brushing it off I follow her over to the table taking me drink with me. "Guys this is Elliot she's new in town" "hi I'm Elena this is my brother Jeremy" "I'm Bonnie" "Damon that's Stefan" I just nod "nice meeting you I would love to stay but I have to go unpack" "would you like help" Caroline asks "I just met you I don't want to put you out in anyway besides it's not a lot I'm not really expecting to stay long" she smiles and nods "well here's my number I would love to hangout with you" "well I will put it to good us nice meeting you all" waving and walking out into my car. "Something was off about her" one of the guys said "what do you mean normal" "no she said she wasn't staying in town long and she was acting shifty" I decide it's probably not the best idea to continue to listen in to their conversation starting my car and driving to the apartment complex.
I had spent the entire day unpacking only for it to reach dinner time and realised I don't have any food. I don't usually eat about now, as I walk through the woods because it calms me sunrise and at dusk my two favourite times. Changing into some tights, a workout bra and a singlet with a jacket over the top. Putting my hair into two braids as I walk around picking up my purse phone headphones and keys placing them in a backpack with a bottle of water.
Walking through the forest feeling the nature the life around me it makes me feel alive. It helps me stay in control and centre myself. I stood on a log admiring leaves fall. I felt someone coming but make no effort to move the best attack is one where they don't know you know. "It's beautiful isn't it" a British accent fills the air "yeah" spinning around facing him "I take it I'm not the only one who loves walking through the woods at dusk" he smiles at me but I can't tell if it's forced or not "so your the new girl" "Elliot and I take it everyone knows everyone" "Klaus what gave it away" "I grew up in a town like this kinda one of the reasons I left" jumping down from the log and walking towards him "I'm going to go now would you like to come get dinner with me" "how do you know I'm not going to kill you" I shouts as I have already started walking back towards town "we are in the woods alone you would have already" I shrug "I would have if I was a serial killer" I mutter but pause when he laughs beside me "sorry sensitive hearing" "me to" I could smell the same smell of death on him but something else it was warmer but I'm not sure what yet but I will find out.
Sitting in the booth opposite Klaus both drinking bourbon we were playing twenty questions "full name" he looks at me funny "come on no one gives there full name to strangers" "Niklaus Mikealson" he sighs "unusual Passion Elliot McCall" "also unusual why did you leave" "got tired of the drama and other things I shall tell you when we are friends" "I thought we already were friends" I laugh "I met you" I check my watch "5 hours ago you have to at least know me for a week before you get to my gooy centre" he looks confused "like Carmelo chocolate hard on the outside soft on the inside" I smile and he laughs "so your chocolate" "well I mean we have so much in common I'm sweet, rich, full of flavour, unpredictable" "well if your chocolate I will be hmm dark chocolate" I pull a face "what should avoid at all costs because it's disgusting" he just laughs not that I know why "I should probably head home" "let me walk you" "how very gentlemen of you but of course you can your my soon to be only friend" we were walking the streets him beside me "what your favourite thing to do" "draw" he shrugs "what's yours" he looks at me "singing writing or walking through the woods" I said thoughtfully I point in the direction of my apartment building "would you like to come in for a drink" he nods "what would you like" showing him the assortment of alcohol I had. "What do you like" "it all it's why I have it" he pours us both a glass of bourbon as I unpacked my backpack. "Soo any siblings" he stares at me "what I have to know if you are going to be my friend" I shrug "I have two brothers and a sister...I did have two other brother but they passed away" "oh I'm sorry you don't have to talk about it...I have a brother younger annoying as hell" he laughs "believe me I know one older brother then two younger siblings" "middle child" he nods when the drinks we done he get up "I should get home" looking at the time frowning seeing how late it was "yeah wouldn't want your siblings to worry" walking him to the door as he was about to go down the stairs "Nik" he looks at me "sorry I shouldn't have called you that I just wanted to say that you are my friend It never felt so easy to talk to anyone" "you can call me Nik I don't mind also your my friend to" smiling and nodding "have a safe trip home" waving bye before closing the door.
