* Anastasia's P.O.V *
I got dressed in a silver metalic tank top with a cropped short sleeve leather jacket , boots , and a cameo ring and necklace to go with my heart bracelet and my lapis locket .
I walked out and Damon was waiting for me .
" You look hot . " he said .
" Really , I don't feel like I'm running a fever . " I said , putting a hand to my forehead .
Damon chuckled and grabbed my hand , leading me out to his car . He hit a button and " Party Like a Rockstar " by Shop Boys came on and I started to move to the rythm . Damon smiled and hit the gas .
" This century is so .. advanced . " I added .
He nodded and we pulled up to the Gilbert house .
" When I said you were hot ... I meant you look ... sexy . " he said , looking me over .
I smiled and blushed .
" Caroline chose the pants . " I said as we got out and linked arms .
Damon didn't even to bother to ring the doorbell , he just put an arm around me and we walked in . Stefan got up and gave me a hug .
" Elena's making steak . " he said .
I nodded .
" I'll go see if she needs any assistance . " I said and walked into the kitchen to find Elena reading a cookbook .
" Hey ." she smiled .
" Hello . " I said , smiling back .
" Pardon me , but I think you should soak the meat in some wine first . " I suggested .
" You know how to make this ? " she asked , relieved .
I nodded .
I prepared the steaks , showing her exactly how and then I sprinkled parsley over the top for flavor and she put them in the oven .
" Thanks . " she said .
" Not a problem . " I said .
We walked back in the living room and a boy walked down the stairs and paused .
" Who is THAT ? " he asked , raising an eyebrow .
" Jeremey , this is my friend , Anna . " Elena introduced .
He looked hurt at the mention of my name .
" If Anna brings up bad times , you can call me Anya or Anastasia if it pleases you . " I said .
He smiled .
" Cool . " he said , walking over and shaking hands with the Salvatores .
" Cool ? " I muttered.
" Cool means good . " Elena said , giggling .
" What ever happened to proper speech ? " I asked .
" It went out the window with corsets and hoop skirts . " Damon said , laughing .
I rolled my eyes .
" You make me feel ANCIENT ! " I said , annoyed .
" You're 1000 years old . " Stefan said .
Jeremey looked shocked .
" You're a vampire ? " he asked .
" An original . " I stated .
" You're Klaus's sister ? " Jeremey asked .
" No , I'm his former lover . " I said with a sigh .
Everyone looked confused .
" It's a LONG story. " I said .
" Maybe you'll tell us sometime . " Stefan said .
" Maybe . " I muttered .
We sat down and I recieved compliments on my dinner and I ended up giving out my receipe .
" So ... how are you an original if you're not a Mkealson ? " Jeremey asked .
" I suppose I should start from the beginning . I lived in a cottage with my mother and my sister , Tatiana Petrova . My father left us . Tatiana and I used to do everything together . We were best friends .... one day , my aunt arrived to take me on a trip to see the world . I came back a year later and met Esther and Rebeka Mikealson , who were getting there dresses hemmed by my mother , the seamstice . They invited us to dinner and I ran a little late . When I got there , I met Klaus , Elijah , Kol , Finn , Mikeal and Henrick . Immediataley , I fell for Klaus . Hard . We became unsperateble . We told eachother everything because I understood him better then anyone else . I became friends with the whole MIkealson family , but Klaus and Elijah particularly . If I wasn't with Tatia , I was with Klaus or Elijah . We were all so close , but Klaus and I had something speacial . It was obvious to everyone . We were in love and it blinded me . One night , everything changed ... Tatia was out late and I went to search for her even though I was warned not to go out after dark . I heard a scream and ran towards the sound . Henrick Mikealson laid on the ground mauled by a giant wolf . Everyone was in mourning and Rebeka was screaming . They noticed me and Klaus pulled me into his arms . I heard another scream and chased it . I found the beast feeding on a village girl . After it finished her , it chased me through the woods . Klaus was watching and made no attempt to help me .When I was about to collapse , Elijah rescued me and pulled me to the safety of a cave where he was supposed to meet his siblings who were searching for Tatia . Elijah and I ... we.... oh nevermind . Anyways , Klaus and I fought , I went back outside to face the beast to find my sister , but Klaus and Elijah talked me out of it . Klaus confessed his feelings for me and he told me he loved me . Esther arrived and gave us a glass of wine to honor Henrick . Little did I know that is was not wine . It was blood . Petrova blood . My sister's blood . I gaged and choked and I screamed and ran into the woods . Esther cast a spell , turning whoever drank from the glass the undead .She cast a spell on me , putting me in an eternal sleep , but not before Mikeal locked me and chained me in a coffin and threw me in a lake in the middle of winter . By morning I was dead , my blood frozen , and the lake covered in a thick winter ice . " I said , shuddering at the memory .
I hadn't realized my eyes had gotten watery .
" Where you alive in the coffin when you first went in ? " Jeremey asked .
" Jeremey ! " Elena snapped .
" Sorry . " he muttered .
They were all waiting for my answer and tears streamed my cheeks . I got up and pushed my chair in , walking out onto the front porch .
A few moments later , Damon walked out and pulled me into a hug .
" I'm sorry . " he said.
" Yes . I was alive and I screamed until I choked on water and I screamed until I lost my voice . I dug until my fingers bled and my nails fell off . I prayed until I died and nobody helped me ! Someone must've heard me ! " I said , crying .
" Shhh ... it's over now . I'd never let that happen to you again . " he said .
I nodded .
" It's getting late and I'm weary , I'll see you at home . Tell Elena and Jeremey I bid them goodnight . " I said .
" I can drive you .... " Damon offered .
" No , I'll walk , I could use the fresh air . " I said .
" But what about if something happens . " he asked .
" Mr. Salvatore , I was never afraid of the dark even when I was human and I'm not about to start now . Besides, without the dark , we would ever see the universe that surrounds us .. " I said and started walking home .
As I was walking home , I decided to take a walk through the woods . I heard footsteps behind me and I whirled around ready for a fight .
" Come closer if you dare , but I'm not in the mood . " I hissed .
Elijah landed gently on the ground from a high tree .
" Are you alright ? " he asked when he saw my red rimmed eyes .
I shook my head .
" What is it ? " he asked .
" It's nothing . " I muttered .
Elijah tilted my chin up to him .
" What's bothering you ? I'll kill it . Don't shut me out ." he said .
" It's my past . It haunts me , Elijah . That night . The night were everything went wrong . The night that wasn't suposed to happen . When history and destiny changed . " I said .
Elijah pulled me into a hug .
" I've missed you . " he said .
" I need you , Elijah . Please . Don't hurt me like your brother has . I couldn't bear it if you hurt me too . " I said .
" I would rather die . " Elijah said and he bent down and kissed me .
I pulled away , knowing that I couldn't let this happen . I couldn't kiss Elijah . I cared for him , but was it enough ? Did I still care for Klaus and what about Damon ?
