NOTE: Hi guys, so when I started this story I was a really inexperienced writer so my grammar, spelling and overall writing isn't that great. I'm aware all my I's aren't capitalized and all that and I apologise for that now before you all die because of my awful grammar. But it gets better along the way, trust me.

Anyway, thank you and enjoy!

-Chapter One-

I walked into the Mystic Grill and quickly checked the crowd. I couldn't risk my brother's - Stefan and Damon - seeing me just yet.

Stefan was my twin brother, and Damon our elder brother. This town held so many memories both good and bad.

No brothers in sight. Making my way to the booth I slumped in my seat and hid behind the menu. Living in secret never gets boring.

I haven't been to Mystic Falls in ages! It feels good to be back.

My eyes roamed over the drink listings but my mind didn't process the words. I was on edge. To put it bluntly.

Only last night had my contact told me that my brothers were back here at Mystic Falls. I'd been careless until then; I would've thought Damon would prefer somewhere like the Caribbean. Guess he's changed.

I hadn't seen my brothers in about...60 years. A long time basically. Damon and I hadn't left on the best of terms, I was angry at him. He nearly murdered someone close to me.

I don't know if it was his fault or his vampiristic side coming out. On a lighter note; Stefan and i just kind of drifted.

One night I decided to leave; I didn't feel like I belonged in Mystic Falls, so I left heading north into the Mountains. Neither of my brothers' were happy with the idea but I still went.

Stefan would write to me every now and then but after a couple of months he just stopped. And so did I.

I must sound really morbid, I apologize.

"What you having?"

I almost jumped out my seat as the waitress spoke. Mentally face-palming myself for being over-skitty i sat up in the chair.

"Beer, please." I said bluntly praying to God she wouldn't ask for ID. It would be awkward if she saw that I was 165. She simply gave me a smile and walked off.

Thank God.

My thoughts drifted to Katherine, the bitch. The night before the big church fire she stabbed me. It was in a dark alley where no one would see us.

**Flashback - 1864**

I was walking back home, I'd been out an hour later than I said I'd arrive. Stefan and Damon were probably having a head fit right now.

I'd left a few weeks ago, I was fed up with father trying to arrange a marriage.

But I missed my brothers.

I sent them a message saying I was coming back to visit only. I never got a reply, which was strange. I'd actually started to think if they'd got my letter.

I rolled up the sleeves of Damon's button down shirt I'd 'borrowed' as the air became slightly warmer.

I'd never taken to dresses like my friend Katherine had. I just found them disturbing.

Like makeup and dances with men during balls. My mother and father disapproved of course.

My father always says "You will never find a man at this rate."

Good! I don't want a man or husband! I quite happy just being me with my brothers.

Suddenly someone grabbed me and tugged me into a dark alley.

I let out a small gasp before someone clamped a hand over my mouth. I froze when i heard a familiar voice hush me.

"Katherine?" I mumbled once she'd removed her hand. "It's so good to see you!"

She locked eyes with me and I saw a tear fall down her cheek.

"What's wrong?" I asked. She looked up at me and let out a small sob.

"I'm so sorry." Her eyes were fill of misery.

I opened my mouth to say something.

Before i could ask anything I let out a whimper as something sharp pierced my stomach flesh. What a lovely welcome home present. A knife.

I gasped and looked down to see Damon's shirt soaked with blood. Her eyes were solid and watery.

How could she? My best friend. I'd only just come home for gods sake!

My vision became blurry as I nearly fell to the floor. A large pain erupted inside me as the knife moved. Katherine was now sobbing loudly.

"Why?" I asked weakly, falling to my knees, my hands grasping the small knife's handle. "Jesus Christ, hi to you too."

I tried to pull out the knife, my breathing coming out in heavy pants. She grabbed my hand and locked eyes again.

She shook her head and my eyes widened.

Her eyes were red! They were freaking red! I screamed loudly as she lowered her head to my neck and bit into it, blood flowing down my stomach and neck. I was like a fountain of blood.

I felt her lips on my wound, I almost cried out as I felt her tongue dwell into the bites. Was she...drinking...my blood?

Because that's not, you know, psychotic or anything.

She came back, her teeth covered in my blood. My eye lids drooped and i fell to the ground, confused and drowsy.

"I needed that." She said, slowly crouching down to my level as she wiped at her mouth. "I'm doing you a favour." Were the last words i heard as i fell unconscious against the cold hard floor.

**End of Flashback**

The waitress came and placed the beer in front of me, snapping me out of my trance.

"Thanks." I mumbled chucking her a couple of dollar notes.

I brought the cool bottle to my lips and gulped. I shook my head as a burning sensation erupted in my stomach.

I brought my phone out as it buzzed. I frowned and checked the message from Elena.

'Meet me at the mall in 5.'

I raised an eyebrow. She hated the mall. I finished my beer and jumped up, grabbing my bag. Walking out the Grill, I walked to my car.

*******************************************************************************************

I walked into the small shop, fiddling with the necklace around my neck. I took a deep breath and looked around.

I'd been back at mystic falls for about 3 weeks. I'd made quite a few friends actually; Elena, Bonnie and Caroline.

I scanned through the clothing and checked my surroundings. I was supposed to be meeting Elena here but the stupid child wasn't here yet.

As mystic falls was a small town, at any moment I could be caught by Stefan or Damon, and I didn't want that. I didn't even know if they were here! It was just a rumour I'd heard from one of my contacts. According to one very close contact of mine; my brothers thought I was dead. Ha!

They didn't even know Katherine had turned me too.

Wanna know something weird?

Elena looked exactly like Katherine. Yes, the Katherine. It freaked the absolute crap out of me when i first saw her.

"Can I help you?"

I spun around and came face to face with a guy with blonde hair.

"Um, yeah, no, I'm fine." I babbled, looking around for Elena.

"You a newbie?" he asked frowning slightly. I raised an eyebrow but nodded, I wasn't really, I mean I'd been here for 3 weeks.

"Ah alright." He said.

"Guess I have a new name now, huh?" I chuckled. He smiled.

"Got a name?"

"Brook."

"Gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl." He smirked; I smiled sheepishly just as someone grabbed my hand and spun me around.

"Leave her alone, Matt." Elena snapped before smiling at me as the guy walked away.

"I have news." She began grabbing my hand and slowly leading me around the store.

"Go for it." I chuckled.

"I have a boyfriend." She squealed. I raised an eyebrow and opened my mouth to say something.

"Right...Good for you..." I said sarcastically, laughing as she glared at me. I rolled my eyes and asked his name.

"Stefan Salvatore." She squealed happily.

I froze and stared at the back of her head. Stefan? Salvatore?

So they were here.

Well shit just got awkward.

How could I have not known sooner?

Had I seen them and just not recognised them?

Would they even remember me?

They've probably forgotten about me.

I bet they think I'm dead.

I stood there, did I want to know? EW, OH MY GOD.

Had my best friend and brother done the nasty?! She stopped and turned to look at me.

"Brook? What's up?" She asked, chuckling.

"Stefan, you say?" I asked, rubbing the back of my neck. Oh dear lord what I was about to ask was going to sound so awkward and odd.

"Can I have his address?"

Elena raised an eyebrow and looked me up and down. "Why?" she asked. I rolled my eyes and nudged her.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything awkward or disturbing. I just think i may know him, that's all." I smiled.

She chewed on her lip but nodded, getting her phone out. I ignored my phone when it beeped and continued shopping with Elena.

Well brothers, prepare to receive Sister Power.
