Chapter Text
I was in Mystic Falls. It had changed a lot since I had last been here almost a hundred and fifty years ago. It really wasn't as impossible as it seems. I was a vampire, and I was several hundred years old. It was the reason that I was out so late at night, even though I had the ability to walk in the day. I was out getting food. That did not mean feeding on people, which I generally didn't like to do because it was too messy. I was returning from the hospital with a few bags of blood in my bag. I wasn't getting food for just me. I had someone else that I needed to feed. I wondered why I kept him around. Sure, he was hot and was good in bed, but it was mostly to seduce the witch Bonnie Bennett who I would need to open the tomb where my mother was trapped.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a car crashing. Normally, it wouldn't be something that I cared about, but it sounded pretty bad, and I didn't like seeing people get hurt. Plus, if they were dead, I could have some guilt-free blood. I raced over and I noticed someone. It was a man that I knew and was working with. I didn't even know why I was working with him. I supposed sometimes you needed to have idiots around, even though I already had one.
"What are you doing Noah?" I asked. It was at that time that I noticed the person in the car from the corner of my eye. It was Elena Gilbert, the girl who looked like Katherine Pierce. This was something that I couldn't let happen. I needed her alive right now. "No."
"Why do you always have to ruin my fun?" He asked me. I believed that we weren't talking loud enough for her to hear, especially since there was some distance between us and the car.
"Get out of here now before I kill you." I told him. He then ran off and I realized that I couldn't just leave Elena. The fact that I had a conscience annoyed me sometimes, but I wasn't going to turn my humanity off. I supposed that if I helped her now, it might help me gain her trust for later.
I slowly walked over to Elena's car, and she screamed. I then leaned down so she could see my face. She needed to know that I was a just a regular thousand-plus-year-old girl.
"I'm not going to hurt you." I told her.
"Please just let me go." She begged.
"I can't do that. I need to get you out of here." I told her. I declared before I ripped the door off of the car. "Can you tell me your name?"
"It's Elena." She responded. She still seemed quite afraid. "I can't move. I'm trapped."
"Just calm down." I stated. One thing that I noticed that she didn't seem to be wearing her necklace which had vervain in it, so I could compel her, but I wasn't going to. "I'm really not going to hurt you. I need you to put your hands on the roof. I'm going to unbuckle your seatbelt."
"Why are you helping me?" She questioned. "You don't even know me."
"I'm just being a Good Samaritan." I told her. "Now put your hands on the roof."
She did so and I untangled her seatbelt and unbuckled it and picked her up and carried her out of the car. It was a good thing that she was light, even though I was super-strong. She was still taller than me and it made her a little hard to carry simply based on that.
"Thank you." She declared. "What's your name?"
"Anna." I answered. However, I didn't think that she heard me because she fainted as soon as I said it.
I sighed. I didn't actually know where she lived. Not to mention, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to get into her house. I grabbed her things out of the car and then took her back to my hotel room. I could have used her as a bargaining chip, but I didn't think that there was any point because I doubted that anyone even knew where the grimoire was. I just wanted to take care of her for now and wait until later.
I opened the door and noticed that Ben was there. He was the vampire that I lived with. I turned him because I needed someone, and he didn't appear to have a life's purpose. I didn't like him or anything.
"Is that Elena Gilbert?" He asked me. He probably knew her from when he was in high school. He was a high school quarterback on a bad team that really wasn't good at anything else.
"Yes, Noah tried to make a meal out of her." I declared. "She's too important for that, even though I don't plan on doing anything with her right now."
"So why did you bring her here then?" He asked.
"Well, I didn't want to wait by the side of the road for her to wake up." I pointed out. "I want you gone before she wakes up."
"But you know that I can't go out in the sun." He remarked.
"Then leave before dawn." I instructed. "I know she'll be freaked out already and I don't want you hear to scare her more."
"Where am I supposed to go?" He inquired.
"Go into work or hide at the Grill even. I don't care as long as you're not here." I said as laid her down on the bed. I then slipped my shoes off because I needed to get some sleep myself. I normally would sleep in my underwear, but I knew that would freak her out if she woke up before I did, so I decided to sleep in my clothes. I just hoped that Ben would be gone when I was awake. I grabbed some makeup remover wipes and not only started to work on my own but also hers. I hadn't mentioned earlier but I couldn't help but notice there was a certain smell to her. I was pretty sure that she had recently had sex.
So how had I got here? Well I had been to what was Mystic Falls several times in my life, but only once before while it was actually Mystic Falls. I had been here with my mother, but now she was trapped in a tomb where she had been for the last 145 years. I needed to get her out, but apparently it required a method using a rarely-seen comet and an old crystal that was now gone. Though I was pretty sure that there was another way to open the tomb. I knew the witch who cast the spell. She had created the tomb as a form of protection, but I was pretty sure that it was also a form of punishment, she didn't really like vampires outside of my mother and I. She probably did have a good point there.
I had thought about asking my father for help, but I really didn't want to be that desperate and I wouldn't put it past him to say that I would owe him a favor. He wasn't exactly the best person and he had another issue that I really didn't want to help him with, so I was content with getting my mother out on my own with the help of whatever idiots I could find, especially since I could kill them after I was done with them. Ben didn't even know how much I despised him. Oh well.
Thankfully, I managed to wake up before she did. However, it wasn't much earlier than she did. She looked at me in surprise. So, I just said the first thing that I could think of. I hadn't even had time to get out of bed.
"Hi." I greeted her.
"Where am I?" She asked me.
"This is my hotel room." I explained. "My name is Anna in case you didn't get it last night. I brought you here because you were unconscious and didn't know where you lived."
I hoped that she wasn't freaked out. I knew that she knew about vampires and that not all of them were harmful. I just had to convince her that she could trust me. I did have a bit of a plan for her, but I knew that we weren't there yet and I also knew that it was a bad idea to make enemies. I would already have to do something that I didn't want to do in order to do this.
"How do I know that I can trust you?" She asked me.
"Elena, if I wanted to kill you, you would already be dead." I pointed out. To be honest, that probably wasn't as comforting as I thought it was. I had my father's sense of humor, and it wasn't a very good sense of humor.
With that she got out of bed, and she hunched in over. I immediately rushed to her side. I was concerned about her okay. I didn't think that I needed to give her my blood. She may have just been sore because the bed that I had wasn't the most comfortable since it was part of a motel. It was all that they had in Mystic Falls and I wanted to be close enough to the town.
"Are you okay?" I questioned. "I know that nothing's broken."
"How?" She asked me.
"I checked." I declared. She looked at me in shock. Did she really think that I would do that? "No, not like that. I just did it while I was bringing you here and if you had any internal bleeding, you would already be dead."
"Wouldn't it have been a better idea just to take me to the hospital?" She inquired. No because people at the hospital would get people involved that didn't need to be involved. Also, it would be a waste of time.
"I'm probably as good as any of those doctors. I've studied medicine and worked as a nurse. I could be a doctor, but there's the fact that I look like I'm in high school and I never really liked Doogie Howser." I answered.
She looked at me like she had no idea what I was talking about. She probably only knew Neil Patrick Harris as that womanizer from How I Met Your Mother, or that womanizing drug addict from the Harold and Kumar movies. To be honest, those were probably better roles because Doogie was kind of annoying.
"It's a TV show from the early 90s." I explained. "The important thing is that I saved your life."
"Did you know that man in the road?" She questioned. I tried to think of the best way to put it. I knew that she would trust me a lot less if I told her that we were working together. I didn't know why I was working with him to be honest. He was an idiot. Both Ben and Noah were idiots.
"He was an acquaintance." I stated. It technically wasn't a lie since I didn't consider him a friend. I really didn't consider anyone a friend. Maybe not having friends wasn't the best idea, but I didn't like to get close to people. I had got close to a few people in the 1860s and one of them were burned alive and the other betrayed my mother.
"So, I should probably get going." She remarked. "I'm pretty sure I'm late for school."
"Or you could just skip school, and we can get to know each other better." I suggested. I had a feeling that she would tell her boyfriend about me and I really didn't want him to know that I was here. "I don't bite."
"Is that some kind of vampire humor or something?" She asked.
"Elena, what do I have to get you to trust me?" I retorted. "Do you want to strip naked, buy you beer, buy you a new car?"
"Well, a new car would be nice." She admitted. "Wait, what was that first thing?"
"How about I take you somewhere to drink?" I suggested. I didn't know if she was into girls like that or not. It was always weird asking someone if they liked girls unless you were at a bar. "I know the bartender at the Grill, and he can hook us up. The shower works and you can borrow some clothes if you want."
She got up and began to undress and headed to the bathroom. I couldn't help but look a little bit. I wouldn't ever fall for a human, but she did have a very nice body. Of course, it was a body that I had already seen before, so that helped a little.
"So why are in a hotel room rather than a house or something?" She questioned.
"It's harder to be found this way." I answered before she got in the shower.
"Is someone looking for you?" She asked as she started the shower. Well, there was one person that I was hiding from, but I didn't even know if he was looking for me. He was probably still hiding himself even though the person looking for him was no longer a threat.
"No, but I thought that this was enough space." I declared. "I suppose I could get an apartment if I really wanted, but I like it here."
"It just seems small." She declared. "I guess I'll take some clothes if you have them."
I went to my dresser and pulled out a black cardigan, red tank and fringe maxi skirt and left them in the bathroom for her. She came out wearing them a few minutes later along with a frown.
"Is this all that you had?" She asked.
"You can always put your other clothes back on." I offered. "I think that you look good though."
"You know going to the Grill might not be the better idea since people know that I should be in school now." She remarked. "So, am I doing this makeup right? I've been goth before."
"Well then I'll take you to a bar out of town." I offered. I would have to steal a car for that, but I could do it without her knowing. "And you don't have to be goth just because you're wearing my clothes."
Of course, when I saw her face made up, I kind of wanted to kiss her. I didn't know that she could even hotter than Katherine.
Once we were in a car, I drove to a place in Grove Hill. A lot of vampires tended to drive really flashy cars, but mine wasn't that flashy. I wanted to blend in, so I drove a Camry. Okay, so it was brand-new Camry, but I was pretty sure that some parents bought their teenagers brand new cars. They probably regretted it because those teenagers tended to wreck them. Speaking of which, I assumed Elena would have to talk to her insurance soon. I couldn't help but wonder what she was going to say to them.
"I don't think that they'll let us in here." She declared as we saw a sign that read 21 and up. There was also a bouncer at the door. I wasn't sure why they had a bouncer during the daytime, but they did. Why did a small-town bar need a bouncer anyway?
"Sure, they will." I declared.
"I'm gonna need to see some ID, ladies." He declared.
"No, you don't." I compelled. He just opened the rope for us. I then turned to Elena. "So, what do you want to drink, and do you want me to get you any food or anything? How about some buffalo wings?"
"Sure, that'll be okay." She remarked. "I'll take some Bud Light."
I walked towards the bar and came back with two beers and sat at the table. I could see that she wasn't used to craft beers, but then again, she probably only drank what she could steal from her parents.
"So, I never actually why you were driving so late last night." I declared.
"There was a problem with my boyfriend." She answered. I looked at her signaling that I wanted to know more. I was guessing that it was more than just bad sex. "Did you ever meet someone named Katherine Pierce?"
"Yeah, I used to be friends with her." I stated. Though, now I wanted to kill her. I didn't get the chance the last time that I saw her because we were in a crowded place and she tended to be good at escaping places. Of course, the line of people who wanted to kill her was extremely long.
"Well, my boyfriend neglected to mention that I look like her." She added. "Not to mention, he used to date her."
"That seems like a pretty stupid move." I commented. Her boyfriend was Stefan Salvatore.
"Though I don't understand how I can look like her. Am I like part vampire or something?" She added.
"No, vampires can't have kids." I explained. "Though Katherine did mention a daughter."
"So would you be okay if I asked how old you are?" She responded.
"I was born during the Middle Ages." I replied. "I lived in Europe for the majority of my life."
"But you don't have an accent." She pointed out.
"Well considering that I've been in this country since Jamestown, it's not hard to see why." I replied. "So wanna have a drinking contest?"
"It seems like it's a little bit early for that." She remarked.
"Well why don't we go get some food somewhere else that don't smell like someone forgot to clean the bathroom and then we can come back here? There is just one thing that I need you to do for me."
"What?" She asked. I really didn't want to do this, but I had to be safe. I didn't want people interfering and I knew it would be my only chance to do this.
"I need you not to tell your boyfriend or his brother about me...at least until we open the tomb" I compelled. "If they ask what you did today, just tell them you were with a friend."
"I was with a friend." She droned.
At that point, Elena's phone began to ring. It broke her out of her trance. I sighed and so did she before she answered it. It was Damon Salvatore. I could everything hear that they were saying.
"What do you want, Damon?" She asked.
"Where are you? Stefan's freaking out and it's making it hard to think." Damon responded.
"I'm fine." Elena declared. "Just tell him that I'm okay, but I'm not ready to talk to him."
"Well, I'm on my way back to Mystic Falls. I could come get you if you want." He offered. I definitely did not want him to spoil my fun. I hadn't had this much fun in a while. To be fair, I hadn't done anything yet, but I was planning on it.
"I'll be back soon." She answered. "Bye Damon."
A few hours later once more people had arrived, I brought up the idea for a drinking contest once again. The bartender took out of a bottle of tequila and poured shots for everyone. I made sure it was the good stuff. The winner would be determined by whoever could finish their drinks the fastest. I was pretty sure that there wasn't going to be any money involved. I could probably drink all of these people under the table. It would have been a nice way to make money, but I didn't need money because one: I had a ton of it in various bank accounts, and I could also steal whatever I needed either by traditional methods or compelling people to give it me for free. It was definitely one of the perks of being a vampire.
Anyway, we did a contest and Elena won, and we did another one...and Elena won. She was really good at her finishing drinks fast, though if it was how many, I would probably win. We decided to go for another round. I was getting pretty tipsy.
"Ready, go!" I declared before I started to chug my drink, but Elena still finished first.
"I win again!" She chirped. She seemed like a really happy drunk. She then looked at me and put an L on her forehead. "You're a loser, loser, loser!"
"And you're a sore winner." I told her with a laugh. At that point, she grabbed me and kissed me. I kissed back for a few seconds before I realized what I was doing and pulled away. It seemed like she was a bit of a horny drunk as well, but I didn't have time for that right now. Plus, I was pretty sure that this blurred the lines of consent, and I did not want to worry about that. I was able to have more composure in my drunkenness than her. I didn't really get black-out drunk because my body healed from drinking it pretty fast. I didn't want to do anything that I would regret. I was at least glad to know that she was attracted to me sexually though. "Okay, I think it's time to go."
I then helped her to the car, and she giggled as we walked. She was holding my hand, and she wasn't exactly walking straight. Hopefully her aunt wouldn't be too upset when she showed up at home completely wasted.
"Did I get a chance to thank you for last night?" She asked.
"Yes, you did." I replied as I helped her into the car and buckled her up. Since I was already starting to sober up, I was fairly confident that I could drive. If I couldn't, I would just run her home.
"Well, I'm glad that you found me. You are my knight in gothic armor." She stated. With that, I started to drive to her house.
So I first wrote this story a long time ago, but I'm posting it here because there aren't enough lesbian TVD stories especially not ones with canon characters. And Damon was not killed by Lee because he didn't stay long enough to be. Please don't forget to review.
