carry on, Anna

To be forever eighteen was the gift Elle was given. She loved being eighteen and nothing had changed. Sure she looked quite young, but after a few years in one town, people thought you aged. Here though, was a new place. No one knew her and she was back at eighteen. She didn’t feel like becoming sixteen and going through the whole highschool thing once more, it was a drag the last time and honestly, Elle thought she wasn’t missing anything this time around. This time around, she’d be here not as long, but she was going to make it one hell of a time.

Gabrielle ran a hand through her hair before taking both hands up to fluff it. She then dabbed her lips with her ring finger to even out her lip stick before smacking them together. She gave herself a wink and kiss before turning on her heel and heading to her door. What was today going to bring? The girl stepped onto the side walk and looked around. No one around. The girl took off in incredible speed to stop in the shadows of a building. Who needed a car when you had badass inhuman speed? Elle looked around before emerging from the shadows and entering the heart of the town.

What to do? Elle let her legs carry her around until she was found opening the doors of the local library. It looked like today was a day to study more about her past. The blonde looked around the library before finding an empty computer. She moved the mouse and looked at the screen. “There things are dreadful.” Elle didn’t like technology too much. Sure it was exciting and new, but once the flare was over, it was just another thing she had to learn to live with. Good thing though, well in a library, it told you where to look.

She clicked a couple of links before writing down names of books and heading off on her search. She had a pile of books in her arms when she found her own little corner. She took a seat on the floor and sighed happily. Only thing that was missing was a little more light. Elle gave a wave and the problem was solved. Time to work. Elle opened up one of her many books and began to read with a wide smile on her face.

Anna took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She loved the library. She loved that all the history of the world could fit in one room. She'd spent hours in this library since she had been back, most of it spent with Jeremy, but now was not the time to take a trip down memory lane.

What was done was done, and all that was left to lose herself in her own history, plus or minus a century...

Anna browsed the town history section, loving every single book, knowing every word. She ran the tip of her finger along the different shaped spines, losing herself in the moment. She stopped at a familiar feeling, her favorite book "The Beginning of the Falls" and smiled. She was in this book, not by name of course, but her mother had owned the apothacary at that time. Their names are both listed on the last page as having died in the Fell Church Fire.

Anna loved this book, remembering how this town started, how things used to be. She walked through the library, looking for a place to sit, laughing to herself at how the Salvatore brothers used to argue, just like they do today. She remembered Katherine running the town and rolled her eyes. She remembered Jonathan Gilbert and how he was competely in love with her mother, than how he was the one to kill everyone.

She walked around a tall bookshelf and stopped short. The lamp had just flickered on but no one was standing by the switch. A beautiful girl was sitting on the floor with a stack of books. Was it her? Well, well, well. Bonnie Bennett would definitely loose it if another witch was in town. She walked over to the shelf in front of the girl, debating on whether or not she should strike up a conversation. If she was a witch using such careless magic, she might be a good ally for Anna. That's a really good book. She said simply, glancing over to the girl again.
