AN* Some dates have been changed for this story. Enjoy!!

1965

It has been 263 years since I left my siblings in London. I have kept in contact with them over the years. They have found a manor in New Orleans that they have been living in on and off for the last century. Of course I have gone there and made sure they were ok. I do this once and a while. I find where they are and check on them without them knowing. If Niklaus found out he would be mad that I am not "focusing on myself". It is not that I am not focusing on myself, I just need to make sure no one is coming after my family. You can't blame me right? Anyway, about forty years ago Carlisle and I reconnected. I met his new mate Esme. She is an amazing young woman. She balances him out very well. It was great to see him happy. She is also on the animal diet. It seems that when Carlisle converts someone, he tries to get them to feed on animals, not humans. So far, he is 50/50. His adoptive son Edward, I think, could not stay on the animal diet. Supposedly he has run off killing men who hurt other people. While this is noble of him, in a way, Carlisle does not approve. I do not have a stand on the matter. I do hope the boy finds himself back to Carlisle though. From what I have heard, Edward has lost himself. That is a feeling that I know all to well. While I was apart from my family, I traveled much of the world. Seeing sites that I always wanted to. It was an extraordinary experience. I found a kind of peace while traveling. Even did little jobs like bar tending. Not that I needed the money. Being alive as long as I have comes with perks. Even so, I found that living more with the people has made me enjoy life a lot more lately. I also had to check on my favorite witch family. The Bennetts and I have been out of touch for the last fifty or so years. But I decided that was in need of a change. The youngest Bennett is a baby girl by the name of Sheila. When I met her for the first time I could feel the power radiating off of her. It was overwhelming for a newborn. I wanted to see her growth, so I made a point to visit the Bennetts every couple of months. That leads me to today.

Mystic Falls 2009

This town is something else. I have been here for about a year now, observing the people here. I have found that there are two brothers that have decided to come back. They are also vampires, probably sired by my little brother Nik. I do not have many sires. I have only turned about three or four people in my life time. It is not that I do not want to turn people, it is just that not many people want this lifestyle. Watching the people you make friends with or your family grow old and pass away does something to you. I would not wish that on people unless the situation was dire. Anyway, the two boys go by the name Stephan and Damon Salvatore. I enrolled in the high school that they attend. Just to get closer to drama of their lives. The amount of drama this friend group have been finding themselves in is entertaining. They have even caught the eye of some of my siblings, which is never good. But the Salvatore brothers are quite obsessed with this girl named Elana Gilbert. I have to say, when I first saw her, I thought it was Katerina. I was both disappointed and relived that it was not her. I have not heard from her since I left London all thoes years ago. I don't hold it against her. We did not have the technology we have now back then. Not to mention I left on a bad note. Right now Elana is dating Stephan, the ripper. He is also on an animal only diet. Not because he doesn't like feeding on humans, but because he can not stop drinking when he starts. Leading to heads being ripped off of people. What an unfortunate gene to have. Thinking of the ripper reminds me of Nik. I need to see my family soon. I may go after I visit the Bennetts. It has been about fifteen years. I lost contact with them after they moved here. Sheila contacted me through magic not to long ago asking to see me. So here I am, walking to her house. As I knock on the door I hear blinds open and shut quickly.

Unknown teen: Grams someone is at the door. I do not recognize them.

Sheila: I'm coming. *She looks out the window to see me and opens the door* Oh my goodness. You have not changed a bit. Well besides this new undercut you have. How are you dear?

Me: I am good Sheila, how are you? How is the family?

Sheila: Well my granddaughter is here. I have not seen my daughter in some time now.

Me: Well I am sorry to hear that. Granddaughter? What is her name. *I feel her power before I see her*

Unknown teen: My name is Bonnie, and you are? *She says trying to get a feel for me.*

Me: I am Anaiah. *I smile reaching my hand out to shake her hand.*

Bonnie: *Looks me up and down declining my hand shake.* How do you know Grams? you look like you could be my age, twenty three at the max.

She clearly does not know what I am.

Me: You flatter me. Your Grams and I have known each other for a long time.

Sheila: My whole life actually.

Bonnie: You are a vampire?

Me: I am, my full name is Anaiah Mikaelson. I am sure you have heard of my family. They have been giving our last name quite the reputation.

Bonnie: I have heard of them and the terror they have caused. How come I haven't heard of you? Are you younger than them?

Me: No, I am the oldest. I keep a low profile until I am needed. *I smile* Speaking of, it may be time for me to calm the beasts. Sheila, it was wonderful to see you again. It was nice meeting you Bonnie. I can tell you will be a powerful witch. *I hug Sheila and start to walk out* I will see you both soon.

Sheila: Make it sooner rather than later. I am not getting any younger. *She says with a laugh.*

I wave goodbye and exit the house. As I am walking out, I am grabbed from behind by a body. I immediately grab the person's arm and flipped them over me. I straddle their body while pinning their hands above their head. Rage fills my eyes for a split second until I see who it is.

Me: Eli?
