I Don't Need You Now

Prologue

Normal? No. What's fun about being normal? Especially when you're a vampire and strong. Super strength, compulsion, super speed, and the freedom to do whatever you want to do. But then you have the Werewolves. The ones that turn according to the moon. Well Tyler was no picnic when he bit me. Then the La Push wolves. There cool. But someone doesn't like them. Oh well.
So I should probably introduce myself. Some people might know me as Bella Swan. The klutz of them all with the hot vampire boyfriend and then he left her with a broken heart and used the excuse of 'It's not you, it's me'. I hate that excuse. Well now you know. I changed.
Now my names Elena Gilbert. I found out that I was adopted by Charlie Swan and that my real parents lived in Mystic Falls. I was wrong again. They died. But they left me with a brother. Jeremy Gilbert. But then I found out about Stefan and Damon Salvatore and they kept calling me Katherine and I wanted to kill them.

That's how I met my 'twin'. She was Katherine. No difference at all. Except attitude wise. She is an evil villain who would sell you out if it means she can live. Me? Well I like to save the people I care about. The only thing that is the same is the fact that we are both vampires. And I'm out for revenge. For now we work together to bring HIM down. But after we do, we go back to hating each other. But we can start at the very beginning.

I lived with my 'mother' and her husband Phil in Florida. I was still human. But she wanted to travel with him so I moved to Forks, Washington 'father'. I moved in and then went to Forks High School. That's where I met HIM.

But let's not waste our time with him yet. So I went to school and it like I was a magnet. All the attention was on me and all the dudes were practically tripping over themselves to talk, ask me out, or to simply stand next to me. It was crazy. But there was one family that was really different. The Cullen's. They were pale white and looked like a bunch of Olympic swimmers or runners. Well somehow I caught the attention of the one who 'doesn't date'. So he saved me a few times and then one night I put all the puzzle pieces into place. Pale white, ice cold. Impossibly fast, and strong. Never ate or drank anything. Then I Google it and things popped up. I confronted him and told him he was a vampire. I was right of course. So then we started to date and the entire school was buzzing like bees. But then after a few months, he said he had to leave and he did and I tried to contact all of them, but it never happened. I know. Boo hoo. No one cares about a stupid love story and a happy ending. Well this had no happy ending. For some. But there are happy moments.

So one day when I came home, my 'parents' were both sitting in my living room. It was odd how they were both here because they never looked at each other. But I sat down and they told me I was adopted and then I left and they told me my real parents lived in Mystic Falls. So I left almost immediately. I drove and then I found it. It was a small town like Forks and it seemed nothing ever went wrong there so I settled in a house near the school. I unpacked in a matter of a few days and then left to explore town.

I came across a bar called 'The Mystic Grill'. Nice bar. They serve underage kids beer so I thought 'what the hell! I deserve a beer'. And that's where I met Damon Salvatore. And where my story takes off.

Chapter 1 (Elena's P.O.V)

I walked into the bar/hangout and walked right up to the bar and sat down. The waiter walked right over and looked at me. "So you're the new girl. What's your name?" The guy asked with curiosity and I could see the black raven haired man looking at me in my peripheral vision.
He was only two seats over. I looked at the bartender. "Elena Gilbert. What's yours?" I asked and surprised that my voice was calm and steady.
He smiled. "I'm Matt Donovan. You little Gilberts sister or something?" He asked and I was shocked. I guess he saw the shock in my face. "Did I say something wrong?" He requested.
I shook my head no and put a smile on my face. "Nope. Can I get a shot of Bourbon?"
