Klaus & Elena

Chapter one.

2 Months.

It had been two months since she last saw him. Since she last felt his touch and the warm tingling feeling that came along with it. 2 months since she last saw that smirk she knew so well. 2 fucking months since she last felt his lips on hers. Oh boy how much she ached to feel those soft warm lips again.

But she wouldn't feel them again, because he was dead. He has been dead for those 2 months. And to say she wasn't dealing very well with his death was an understatement. She was devastated. Absolutely wrecked.

And that is only about him, Damon Salvatore. But you want to know the cherry on her freaking cake? Well that is that Bonnie her best friend since childhood died along with him. Want to know another thing that died that day? Her heart, the day her best friend and her boyfriend died so did her heart. But no it didn't die quickly, it has been a long and antagonizing death for 2 months now. Slowly piece by piece it has been dying and with every piece she felt herself fall deeper in the dark pit that is her mind.

She wasn't the only one to deal badly with it. Caroline also lost her best friend, but the controlled vampire who always seemed to find a way to be optimistic, was dealing with it better than she was. She was mostly helping Stefan to deal with it, since his brother died he has been in a downward spiral. And Caroline is the thing that is keeping him on the rails right now. Jeremy lost his girlfriend, Matt lost one of his friends, but they are going to pull it through as well. Alaric was back as well and mourning the death of his drinking buddy, but he was going to make it through as well. Same goes for Enzo. And well Tyler never really was good friends with Bonnie and he held a fierce hatred towards Damon, so he just took the first cab out of this hell of a town.

Even if we can't really stay in Mystic Falls anyway because the travelers have taken over. We just stayed a few towns away. But slowly everyone started to leave. Tyler was the first one to leave, after that Enzo took off. Not a week later Matt and Jeremy decided it would be better if they moved away for a while. Alaric went along with them to look after them. After that Stefan and Caroline decided it would be best if they would maybe see some things of the world. They both had eternity and just needed some rest from all this stuff. They asked her to go with them, but she just couldn't.

That is where we are now. She was just here alone. The only one left around here to remember what had happened. But she also needed to do something with her life. Because this wasn't working out. And she knew exactly what she needed to get herself out of this grief spiral. She needed a change of scenery. But where was she going to go? Not a small town that is for certain. She has had enough of small towns for now or for ever really if she is being honest.

So big towns it is. But which one? New York perhaps? No all of a sudden something screamed in her head and she knew exactly why. The last time she was in New York Damon had taken her there. Her humanity had been off. If she would have known then that he wouldn't live for that long she wouldn't have wasted her time like that.

Then all of a sudden a thought crossed her mind. Why couldn't she go to New Orleans? She didn't know how she even thought of this ridiculous plan. Perhaps knowing that there is at least someone there that she knew gave her a sense of not feeling so alone anymore.

Well then that was that. She was going to New Orleans. This is where she would get her new beginning. And the one person that she once loathed would be there. But that thought didn't bother her that much. At least he was a person that knew her. Because if no one knows you, you can just disappear and die without anybody noticing. They would just forget about her. And that is what she had been afraid of since the start. That she would be forgotten. But with Klaus she at least knew he wouldn't forget. He might be her nemesis, but she would rather live around an enemy than around a bunch of strangers.

With that thought she got in her car. She put her car keys in the ignition and turned it around. She heard the familiar sound of a starting car. And with her destination in mind she pressed her foot down hard on the gas pedal and took off towards where she was headed: New Orleans.
