Matilda's POV

Another night of eating garbage... Literally, garbage. I sat by the fire pit and got comfortable, it was going to be a long night. It's be 4 years since I was alone, no family, no friends... It sucks. I want a life, I don't want to steal and beg people for things all the time, soon I am gonna get older and people aren't going to want to give me anything, right now, I'm still some cute kid that everyone feels bad for. It wasn't too long before I fell asleep on the cold muddy ground. I didn't mind, the fire was relaxing.

"Hey! Kid!" I was shooken awake by some person I had no idea who it was, he was shining a flashlight in my eyes.

"Hey! GET that light out of my eyes!" I yell at who I thought was some stranger...

"Matilda??" The random voice behind him asked.

"Stefan??" I asked out loud, was this my brother?

I turned to look at the guy shining a light in my face.

"Damon??" I ask.

They both nod their heads, I about just start crying. I jump up off the ground and hug both of them tightly.

"What are you doing?? How are you here? WHERE WERE YOU GUYS??" I scream.

"Tilly, it's a long story, but come with us, it's freezing out here for a young girl like you." Stefan says wrapping his coat around my small framed body.

"Wait, do you guys have a house?" I ask surprised.

"We do... We've been looking everywhere for you Matilda." Damon says putting his arm around my shoulders.

I snuggled my head into his chest and hugged him tightly. I missed them both so much. I cried a little bit and we walked to Damon's car. I got in and we drove to their house which was about 3 hours... Exhausting! I fell asleep and woke up the next morning with the sun shining in my eyes. Was last night real? I am in a bed? A comfy one at that. I hear a knock on the door and Stefan walks in.

"Stefan!! It was real, last night actually happened! You guys are alive!" I cried and hugged Stefan tightly.

"Yes we are, we'll tell you everything, but first get ready. I bought you some clothes this morning." He tells me as he hands me a glass of orange juice.

"Thanks... Where are we going??" I ask getting up to get changed as Stefan starts to leave the room.

"Mystic Falls Middle School." He smiles at me a leaves the room.

No way... NO FREAKING WAY AM I GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!! I change quickly and put my hair up in a pony tail. I run down the stairs to where I assume Damon and Stefan are. I walk into the kitchen and see them both sitting there.

"Well that was fast. Let's go get you enrolled!" Stefan and Damon both start walking towards the front door.

"Woah woah woah! Hold your horses guys... I haven't been in school since I was 8, I'm not going back." I plant my feet on the ground and cross my arms.

They both look at each other then look at me.

"Sorry kid, you have no choice. Let's go." Damon says signaling me to come with them.

I walked into the kitchen to check the fridge, trying to change the subject.

"What do you guys have for food? 'm starving." I start searching through the fridge.

"We'll get food after the meeting with the headmaster. Let's go." Stefan said getting a little short with me.

"Woah. Hold up. First of all, no... Second of all, uh... NO." I say holding my ground still looking through the fridge.
