"When you live as long as I have, 'Love' is a surprisingly rare occurrence". In 1864 Grace Mikaelson fled Mystic Falls in fear of her own brother. Yet, when she returns over a century later, a lost love remains alongside an abundance of supernatural drama. -------------------------------- (I don't own any of the characters in TVD or it's plot - Excluding Grace - thanks for reading!😊)

Katherine Pierce and Cassandra Woodhouse have been best friends since the end of the 15th Century. A last-resort attempt at freedom led them to Mystic Falls, Virginia during the civil war. Cassandra never expected the town to feel so much like home, or to care so much for her host's eldest son. Still, leave she did. Now, 145 years later she must return to Mystic Falls, hoping to come and go undetected. Mystic Falls, however, is full of new secrets and people she thought she'd never see again. Follow Cassandra as she is forced to reveal her own dark secrets, reunite with two of the most important people of her very long life, and deal with pain, horror, danger, and, most importantly, happiness. After all, You can only run away from your past for so long before it catches up to you and bites you. In some cases, literally. A The Vampire Diaries, OC/Damon Salvatore love story I published back in 2011, and have decided to take off the dusty shelf, re-write, and finish. Begins near the end of Season One, and will follow through the series. WARNINGS: Foul language, suggestive themes. Trigger Warnings will be posted in the chapter's A/N, as they are not a common occurrence.

"The day you died, it was as if my heart was made of glass. It shattered into pieces, and no one was able to glue it back together." "Why didn't you just move on? Why didn't you save yourself all of the pain, the grief, the misery and forget about me?" "A lot of people said the same. Move on, forget about him, be happy. But I couldn't. Without you by my side, I could never be happy. Because I am Forever Yours."
