Or as others called it, a children's mental hospital. For ten years she was forced to live there, treated for something that couldn't be healed. They tried convincing her what she had seen was not real and her parents had simply died from a freak accident, but Mallory knew what had actually occurred that day all those years back. And once she turned eighteen, she left as quick as she could. Mystic Falls was just a few towns over, but it was as far as the money she had stolen would let her go without needing to pay a month's rent of living at the cheapest apartment she could find. Mallory got herself a job at the local diner as a waitress and gotten semi-settled in, befriending a few people as well. She believed she had finally gotten her life back to normal, until one night when she was closing she happened to stumble across a couple who at first appeared to be kissing. Though upon further inspection, it was more gruesomer than that. Terrified and yet delighted at the fact that she was right, Mallory decides to do research on the subject, discovering the name and what entails with the creature she had just seen. Vampires, they were called. A living dead monstrosity that preys upon the human race. Now thinking back, it made sense, from what she could remember from her parent's death. But, there was more information that wasn't detailed in books or online. No, it was information that could only be discovered from the source itself. But how would one trap a vampire that was faster than the average human? Well, to befriend one of course. And who's better than the same exact one she caught feasting on the girl just outside of the Mystic Grill? ▃▃
