The Return
The blue Mustang turned right and was greeted by the rusty sign announcing "Welcome to Mystic Falls!"
"The hell on earth," the young and handsome driver muttered unperturbed. His name was Damon and he knew this town well. There was nothing welcoming about it. Partially, the reason why he had not been here for ages. But after travelling the world for a century and a half he had found his way back here in lack of inspiration for another destination.
Therapists would probably say he'd be ready to face his demons of the past. Rubbish, in the man's opinion. Sure, there had been things troubling him in the past but he believed to have them all in check - the demons and the emotions which were attached to them.
Following the main street, which was pretty much the town's only street he passed a large real estate, the most expensive estate of the town as well. It belonged to the town mayor Lockwood who was living there with his family. Damon huffed as an evil smile spread across his lips. Had they known who he was they'd be running for their lives by now.
But he didn't mean them any harm. Not the current generation right now. They just happened to have been born into this pathetic family. They had nothing to do with the incident back then. The former generation however had gotten what they deserved and he was sure that none of them actually rested in peace.
Driving further down the road Damon noticed that almost nothing had changed during the last 140 and some years. On the outward that is. If there had been changes in the town's character was yet to find out.
Damon didn't know if it was the fact alone that he was back at this place or maybe the not unimportant addition that there would be a full moon tonight. Right now it was covered by the clouds hanging in the sky but already in a few hours when the sun had set the moon would shine in his full glory.
Talk about demons.
As he felt everything coming back to him Damon slowed down and paid attention to a red light for most likely the very first time. Though he couldn't care less about any citizen's life he didn't want to draw attention to himself by accidently running somebody over while lost in thoughts.
He saw her face... her piercing, brown eyes... her sweet, childlike smile... the slick, brown hair that smelled like roses...
It took him a moment to realize that he was indeed seeing her face. The fact hit him so hard that his left foot unintentionally pushed down the gas pedal but almost instantly his right feet slammed the brakes. With a jolt his car came to a halt, merely inches in front of the woman.
Damon stared at her in disbelief. How was this possible? Was this a déjà-vu? Fate's sick way of humor? Maybe he was dreaming? Or seeing a ghost?
And then her last words echoed in his ears
We'll be together again...

Ich versuch mich mal an einer AU Story, während ich hoffe, dass meine Muse demnächst mal wieder mit Material für Every End Has A Start anrückt. Langsam nervt diese Blockade...
Letztendlich war es dieser letzte Satz, der mich inspiriert hat.In der Serie waren es ja Katherines letzte Worte an Stefan und irgendwie haben die Eindruck auf mich gemacht.
In den nächsten Kapiteln werdet ihr dann erfahren, was damals passiert ist. Ist nämlich nicht ganz so abgelaufen wie in der Serie, ist halt AU.
Hoffe hab euch neugierig genug gemacht, sodass ihr demächst wieder vorbeizuschaut :)
Eure Asu
