It has been a long time, well to me not really. I don't even know why I have came back, it felt like an invisible force dragging me back to the one place that I dreaded to be, more than any other place on earth. I did not think that I would ever have to come back here. I have always dreaded the thought of returning ever since I left. However we all know that you cannot just leave Mystic Falls and never return. Something always drags you straight back, back into the pool of drama that you tried so hard to escape from.

I left Mystic Falls around a year ago, practically straight after my parents death, I could no longer bare the thought of staying in Mystic Falls anymore. And deep down I hadn't wanted to be their for a while. So the second I could I ran without turning back. But you can only run so far without something drawing you back to where all your problems begun, where even though you hated it, you could not get rid of the feeling of home.

As a child I always knew I was different, I mean it was hard not to realise. Things happened around me, unexplainable things, things that could not even be real no matter how wild the imagination. Fires just starting when I was angry, downpours of rain whilst sad . My family knew this was happening but with no logical explanation it was ignored. More like I was ignored, I was the abomination of the family, I could never change this and I found this out the hard way.

However things started to get a lot more real a few years ago, that was when the problems got worse and they could no longer be hidden. Things that had changed In me that could no longer could be ignored.

Flashback- Aria aged 13

Elena and I are walking in the park with my best friend Kayla. Elena was forced to come as Aunt Jenna was around and Elena's parents had to act as though nothing is wrong. Aunt Jenna always adored me, much more than Elena, we just clicked better was what she would tell me when she came over for the holidays. Elena was so angry that she had to come along and we both knew it. She is currently standing in the middle of us and she kept sticking her for out in front of us trying to trip one of us over, with an angry expression smothered on her face.

"Elena please can you stop it someone is gonna get hurt" I say to her, practically pleading her to stop, so that no one gets hurt.

"How is someone going to get hurt we are literally on the grass and your the ones taking forever maybe if you were faster I wouldn't have to do this". She said as she stuck her foot out in front of Kayla and she tripped landed on the grass. All of a sudden I heard gurgling from Kayla. As I bent down I saw blood it was everywhere, glass was embedded into her neck. I started screaming out for help as Elena just stood there in shock before running quickly in the other direction. I tried to stop the bleeding by placing my hands on her neck where the glass had embedded itself. But the blood just continued to pour across the grass. But it was too late. She smiled at me before her eyes closed and then she was just... gone.

A sudden strike of agony radiated though my entire body then my eyes where then glowing a purple colour, not that I knew at the time. That was the day my life changed, worse than it already was.

Flashback end

That was the day that I broke the curse that made me a werewolf, not that I knew this until the full moon rose a week later. When all of a sudden I was not human. Then things that did not make sense, finally came to light and it turns out that I was the first of my kind a hybrid between a witch and a werewolf. But after all this, my parents still believed I was a monster and nothing ever changed their minds. But I wasn't alone I had my uncle John helped me so much, even if it went against everything that he believed in. He helped me so that I could get through the months of turning before I gained control and I could never have done it without him. And even though my brother was clueless to what I was he helped me too, just by being him.

So when parents died I ran, took the freedom that I craved and just left. Uncle John helped me find a house miles away from Mystic Falls, and that had been where I had stayed up until this point.

But now I am ready to return, well at least I think I am.
