It's been 2 weeks ever since I landed in Charleston. I miss everyone back in Beacon Hills. Stiles for the most part, even though he calls me every night. Well, when it's 2am my time since we're 4 hours ahead. I don't think he realizes it though. I don't mind waking up just to hear his voice.
But I missed my grandparents very dearly. I didn't expect to see them at the airport but when they stood there at my gate, I burst into tears. For the longest time, family was all I had. I didn't have many friends growing up here so my family is the most important thing in my life.
I didn't expect it to change in the way it has. I have the best of friends, and an amazing boyfriend and I consider them my family too. I have never been the one to let new people in. I wasn't really the social butterfly at my old school; when I came to California I expected to stay that way too. Under the radar. But things change... in the best way possible.
Today would be the day I meet Isaac in Mystic Falls, Virginia. Home of Stefan Salvatore. I would drive up there, pick up Isaac at the airport then we would head to a hotel to figure out how we will approach Stefan.
The 7 hour drive was the worst part, but it got better when I saw my old friend exit his gate.
"Isaac!" I ran up to him and hugged him, making him drop his bags. "It's been so long!"
He laughed and wrapped his arms around me, asking, "How are you?"
"I'm great," I pulled out of the hug and picked up one of his bags. "It's so good to see you. Everyone misses you back home."
"Oh now you're just lying," He picked up his other bag and took the one from my hand.
"No, really. Scott told me to tell you he and Melissa wish you well," we began are descend back to the car. "Argent too."
"Aw, no 'Hi' from Stiles? I thought I was starting to grow on him," he joked.
I laughed and nudged his shoulder playfully.
"Yeah, Stiles was not to happy that I chose you to go with me. Thank you, by the way. For coming with me."
"I told you a million times, I'm happy to help."
I pulled the rental car keys from my pocket and unlocked the car so Isaac could load his stuff up. As we got in the car I handed the file on Stefan to Isaac.
"So this guy is like 160 years old? Damn, he must be wrinkly," Isaac laughed.
"Actually," I pointed down the the picture of the guy. "That's him. He shouldn't have aged at all."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Immortality does us good, I guess." I looked behind me and backed out of the parking space and exited the airport.
"He has a brother," he pointed out.
"Yeah but I'm sure he's dead. It's been way too long."
It took us an hour to get Mystic Falls and check into our hotel. It wasn't the best place, but it was cheap.
"Definitely getting flashbacks from the motel in California," Isaac said with a shiver.
"Yeah but this one smells more like cigarettes than death," I laughed. "How many suicides do you think happened here?"
"I don't know, let's check the bible for news articles," he replied making me laugh loudly.
"Okay, see this guy now or later?" He asked.
"Let's just get settled in, then go tomorrow," I said nervously.
"Scared?"
"Just nervous. I'm meeting another vampire. This is just... I don't know. I've dealt with werewolves, and alpha packs, nogitsune's, berserkers; I don't know why I'm so scared to meet someone like me. I should be excited, right?"
"It's okay to be scared or nervous. It's new," he replied. "I mean, you're the first vampire I've ever met so I'm pretty nervous to meet another vampire. You and I didn't have the best first experience."
"Oh, please. You were totally falling for me," I winked and laughed.
"Only because you compelled me too!" He laughed.
"I'm so glad you're like, chill. I feel like if I did it to anyone else, they wouldn't be my friend after."
"Well you practically begged me to forgive you," he joked and nudged my shoulder.
"Okay."
"Okay, what?" He asked while unpacking one of his bags.
"Let's go right now."
"Like, right now, right now?"
"Yes right now before I chicken out and change my mind. Meet me outside, you're driving," I tossed the keys to him and practically ran out side.
"Brianna, take a breath," he said to me, closing the hotel room door and rushing after me.
He unlocked the car and I jumped in the passenger side. Isaac got in shortly after me, with Stefan's file in his hand.
I grabbed the file and searched for his address, then I put it in my phone GPS.
Mystic Falls was a small town, kind of similar to Beacon Hills. It took us no time to get there.
Stefan's house was HUGE. I bet there are like 10 bedrooms in there. Definitely not what I was expecting.
Isaac took the keys out of the ignition and began to get out of the car.
"Wait!" I swung my arm out and hit him in the chest, pushing him back in his seat.
"Ow, what the hell Brianna?" He rubbed his chest and turned to me questionably.
"I need to go by myself."
"No way in hell am I letting you go meet this guy alone. He could be a murderer for all we know."
"I'm gonna guess that he has killed people, but only because I've killed people before. To survive of course," I looked down at my lap and twiddled my thumbs. "But I don't think he's a bad guy."
"Just stay in the car, use your werewolf hearing. If anything sounds suspicious, then you can burst in at any time. I-I just need to meet him first... On my own."
When Isaac didn't say anything, I opened my door and got out. I was very hesitant but I finally walked up to the front door and knocked. I looked at Isaac in the car and gave him a thumbs up.
I heard the door squeak open and when I saw the person standing there, I knew it wasn't Stefan.
"What are you doing here?" The guy asked.
I was completely confused. Why is he talking to me like he knows me?
"Um, hi," was all I could get out.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to come inside?" The man asked while turning around and walking inside.
"Um, is Stefan Salvatore here? Do I have the right address?" I decided to stay outside and not walk inside.
"Oh, this will be fun," the guy turned around and I saw his face relax and his eyes change.
The next second I know, I was pulled inside and slammed up against the wall with a hand around my throat.
"What the hell are you doing here?" The guy yelled in my face, tightening his hand.
A jolt of energy ran throughout my entire body and my fangs came out as I pushed the guy off with strength I've never felt before.
"What the hell is wrong with you!?" I growled.
He was so quick. I didn't even see him break the chair before he stuck the piece of wood into my chest, nearly hitting my heart.
A screamed and fell back against the wall.
I heard a familiar loud growl and the man was torn away from me. I looked up at Isaac who was very mad, eyes yellow and fangs out.
"What the hell is going on?!" Someone yelled, turning everyone's attention towards the stairs.
There he was. Stefan Salvatore.
"You're Stefan," I said more of a statement than a question.
I groaned and looked down at the piece of wood in my chest.
"She's a vampire, Stef," the other guy said with a moan as he got up.
I let out a yelp while I pulled the wood out. "M-my name is Brianna Hollis."
"You're the girl Braeden was sending?" He hopped off the stairs and began walking over to me.
Isaac growled quietly and took a step in front of me.
"And she brought a werewolf! Perfect," the guy said.
"Who are you?" I asked him. He was obviously a vampire.
"He's my brother," Stefan said with surprised Isaac and I.
"Figured you would be dead. The vampire thing explains that."
"I thought I was about be. You've got strength. How old are you?" Stefan's brother asked, his name I still don't know.
"17."
"Yeah, you look 17 but how long have you been a vampire?"
"Um..." I began to think. "Almost a year. So what's your name?"
"No. That's impossible," he looked at Stefan. "She pushed me off like it was no big deal and I was fighting, hard. Almost thought she was Katherine."
"Who's Katherine?"
"Not important. What year were you born?" Stefan asked me. He held a look like he was intrigued.
"1999. So i'm strong. So what?"
"The older you are, as a vampire, the stronger you get. It's just... Weird," said the brother.
"So are you going to introduce yourself or what?"
"Ah," he took a step forward and held out his hand but Isaac stepped in front of him. "Heal boy."
I laughed and moved Isaac out of the way, shaking the guys hand.
"Damon Salvatore," he replied. "Sorry for trying to kill you. You look a lot like someone we know."
"Well," I stepped back. "Sorry for my werewolf friend. He's protective."
"Not to be rude but, why exactly are you here?" Stefan asked.
"I barely know much about what I am. I've never met another vampire till now. I was hoping you could help me."
Know you've met Stefan and Damon :) Excited for Isaac to be back!
Just a heads up, school has started back for me. I was on winter break. So that means updates may be slower. I will try my very best to get one updated every week.
