Before I start this story I thought I'd add some background information. This story revolves around three characters, Katherine Pierce, her hidden younger sister Adelaide, and Damon Salvatore. Each chapter will switch from each of the character's (who I listed before) point of view.
Chapter 1- Adelaide
It is often that just before the first ball of the season; a young woman is found browsing with her chaperone in a huge store filled with gowns of all sorts. This year, at sixteen, would be my debut into society. I had spent the whole morning, under the close eye of Emily, choosing my dress. Emily was my closest friend, my soul sister, and my most important ally. With Emily helping me make such a stupid, yet important choice of what to wear, the whole affair became もっと見る light- hearted. For my debut, I would pretend to be a normal girl. The word normal was not in my vocabulary and though I spent my days studying Latin and German as was instructed, I was never to feel normal. And, I feared that I was in grave danger. Emily always told me to take my mind off that, for I, personally, was well aware of what I had to do in order to stay well hidden. But it was the others like my vivacious older sister Katherine who could pose a problem. Katherine was overseas in Paris, using her seductive charm over every young man she met. She would only return the coming Friday, to be here for the season's opening ball, held at her arch nemesis, Mary-Anne March's house. It was true that both girls pretended to be friends, but they were both vying for the position of society's perfect daughter. Secretly, I knew Mary- Anne had the better chance. Katherine and I were "orphans" and often had to fend for ourselves. Even though we had a huge household, we were both not the same face we wore in the open. Still, Katherine was prettier, もっと見る superior, and wore the grandest of gowns, making Mary- Anne look like she was standing in her under garments. The first ball would be the most important in seeing which girl’s dress is better. I had to smile at this because for girls like Mary- Anne the biggest choice she would have to make would be what to wear to the season's biggest balls. Whereas, Katherine and I had もっと見る pressing matters, which took up the capacity of our brains. I sighed, just as I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Adelaide," Emily 発言しました as I turned around to face her. "Pearl has come." I suppressed a sigh and stood up, walking out the big double doors and down the spiraling stair way. I looked out the window and frowned, we had only lived in New York for six months. Was it already time to leave? Pearl stood solemnly at the bottom of the staircase ad I walked toward her carefully. She faced me sadly.
"Come and walk with me, Adelaide," she said. I nodded and we made our way outside into the gardens. We walked in silence for several minutes, before she opened her mouth to speak, "We must leave and we must leave immediately. There are other ヴァンパイア here resulting in too many deaths of humans. The officials are getting desperate and they are becoming clever when they are differentiating between the ヴァンパイア and humans. I will have the carriages ready によって tonight and Anna and I will come to fetch あなた and Emily. Be ready and dressed. Do not bring too much, we don't want to get the neighbors suspicious." She looked weary and I gave her a half smile. I appreciated Pearl's efforts. When it came to Katherine, she was often warning and treated Katherine as もっと見る of a friend. For me, it was もっと見る of a motherly treatment.
"What about Katherine?" I asked. There were things Katherine had done, which made me angry または frightened. But she was my sister and we did care about one another dearly.
"Katherine will meet us in Mystic Falls in three weeks," she said. "Or maybe four. I wrote to her a two weeks 前 explaining all this. I told her not to tell you, as not to upset you. または excite you. And Katherine loves Paris. Since she does not have to be here for the opening of the season, she has extended her stay four three または four weeks." I nodded and Pearl turned to me.
"Be quick tonight, Adelaide. And we must be careful. Until we leave New York borders, we are still unsafe," she said. That was one of the great things about Pearl; she stated the plain truth, never sugaring it up with small lies. I smiled, trying to bring some light into the conversation. She knew what I was trying to do, so she smiled back. "Be good, my dear," she 発言しました キス my forehead and leaving. I turned back and quickly ran into the house yelling Emily's name. Emily came quickly. I explained what was happening and she grabbed my hands.
"Come Adelaide, we must pack!" And we did, just that. I packed as much as I could in my small bag. We dressed warmly for that night. The rest of the day, Emily and I read and played chess, but our minds were elsewhere. It wasn't until I saw the carriage pull up that night, did I feel a wash of calmness descend upon me. Emily and I were quick to get in the carriage. Pearl motioned for us to stay quiet as we took leave. I clutched Emily's hand as the carriage moved away from the house which I had called ホーム for six months. On the left side, I felt Pearl's daughter, Anna shiver of fear. I looked at Emily, leaning my head on her shoulder and falling into a deep sleep.
