A New Beginning
The journey started.... ☺ "

I slowly made my way up the familiar path in the cemetery, my footsteps on the hard cement sidewalk the only sound. The grass was bright green too long, and wet with raindrops, like it was always in Mystic Falls. I took a turn, stepping onto the wet grass, feeling my sneakers sink into the muddy ground. I had been coming here almost every day for a full year. I could take this trip with my eyes closed if I needed to. The sky was a dark charcoal, thunder rumbling quietly in the distance. The rain wasn't falling yet. It was only midday, but the sky was so dark, it felt like the darkest of midnight. A night without stars.
I was holding a bouquet of bluish, purple freesia in my hands. He always said I smelled like freesia. And he loved that particular shade of blue. He said it made my skin glow. I smiled slightly at the memory. It didn't hurt so much to think about him. I liked to remember the happier times, the better days. Everything before that awful day.
"Thought I found a way Thought I found a way, yeah (found) But you never go away (never go away) So I guess I gotta stay now"
I found myself at the familiar tombstone, rounded and polished, his name, birth date and death date engraved in it. A few meaningless words were scrawled below it. I didn't read them. I didn't need to. No amount of words could describe the way my love had really affected the lives of those around him. I knelt before it, placing the bouquet at the edge. I smiled at the polished hunk of stone.

"Hello Klaus." I said softly. I didn't feel foolish anymore. Talking to inanimate objects. I knew Klaus was listening, so I didn't feel so stupid. Plus I was completely alone. It made me feel better to know I was communicating with him somehow. It was the only way I kept my sanity, kept myself strong for my family and friends.
"Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here Even if it takes all night or a hundred years Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near Wanna feel alive, outside I can fight my fear"
