Ok so this is my first attempt at doing a Vampire Diaries Story so please don't flame. I'd rather you suggest some helpful comment more. Also this story will be following Season 2 and on but with my own little twist/character. Also is a Damon/OC story. I'll do my best to keep Damon in character as much as possible. Now on with the story, enjoy!

Chapter 1

The Return

I looked up at the passing sign. 'Welcome to Mystic falls' my home at least it used to be my home. Up until my parents decided that we should move; that was three years ago. Now, my mother and I were moving back and it's only because my mother wanted to be closer to my father's hometown and friends. The sign filled me with dread as my mind would wonder back to my father but that sign also had a sense of comfort. I watched the sign pass by and glanced around the small town.

"Mom, do you think anything has changed in town?" I asked as I turned to look at her.

"I don't think so sweetheart. Mystic Falls is a small town not much can change that?" My mom gave me a comforting smile.

I decided to leave it at that and pressed one of the buttons on the car for the window and the window slowly started to come down. The wind immediately ran in to the car and blew my brunette hair around my face. In a few minutes I'd be at my new home and I wonder if I'll get to see my old friends again. My mind then wondered back to my best friend in the whole world, Elena. God, I remember the times we had together. The two of us were always together, had sleepovers. We never left each other's sides. Then there was miss bossy Caroline. Oh how I loved to tease and playfully bicker back forth with her. It was the thing that we always did but we loved each other; and lastly there was Bonnie, the serious but fun friend. We didn't hang unless one of us was with Elena or Caroline but we got along with each other.

"Well here we are." My mom said as the car rolled to a stop just outside the Lockwood mansion which was buzzing with people. I gave my mother a confused look. "Why are we at the Lockwood's?" I asked.

"It's a wake." Mom explained as she stepped out of the car slamming the door behind her. I followed her.

"What's going on? Why are we here? And who's the wake for" I said as I looked at her over the top of the car.

She looked at me" Major Lockwood died in a fire last night and since he was an old friend of your fathers I thought we would come and pay our respects before we go and unpack" She started walking towards the door. "Besides it will be good to talk to everyone" she called over the shoulder before going up the stairs. I rolled my eyes before slamming my door and taking off after her.

"Well, well, well the black sheep returns." a very familiar voice said as I ran up to the stairs to catch up with my mother.

"Oh dear lord this can't be Tyler Lockwood." My mother said with a smile. "You have grown so much"

"It's only been…" Tyler looked down at his hands, counting his fingers.

"Three years Ty" I laughed before pulling one of my friends into a hug.

Tyler laughed as he returned the hug before pulling back and looking at me. "Good to see you Amelia"

"I'll leave you two alone. I got to go find your mother anyways. I'll find you later Amelia" and she walked off.

"So what are you doing back in town?" He asked.

I let go of him and stepped back "Oh um Mom thought it be best to move back"

He gave me a confused look. "Why? And where's your father?" he asked as he looked over my shoulder.

I bite my lip slightly as I rocked back and forth on my heels. "Um He passed away two weeks ago" I mumbled.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry Amelia" Tyler said stated.

I shrugged" No Big. Things happen"

"Hey" He reached over and squeezed my shoulder." I know the feeling so if you need someone to talk to I'm always here"

I glanced up at him, smiled. Tyler and I were always good friends when I was in town and it was thanks to are Dads being buddies. "Thanks Ty and I'm sorry about your dad"

"Thanks, why don't you go inside and see everyone. Elena and Bonnie are both inside already" He suggested.

I nodded. "I will, I'll talk to you later. We should totally get together and catch up"

"You got a deal" Tyler said with a chuckle.

I gave another quick wave before I made my way inside. The Lockwood's hadn't changed much at all. Looked all the same to me which was good since then I knew where to go. I walked around and I recognized a few people but no luck in finding Elena so I gave up as my efforts turned futile. So instead I walked over to the side of the house and gazed out the window. "Amelia? Amelia Johnson?" I turned my head at the voice to see Sheriff Forbes standing a few feet away, with a very good looking guy next to her.

"Yep that would be me" I said with a smile as I walked over to the two.

"Wow, what are you doing here?" She asked.

"My mom and I are moving back" I said with a smile.

"Really, that is great. I can't wait to see your parents. Are they here? "She asked as she began to look around.

I bit my lip. I knew this was going to be hard. "Um yeah, my mom's around here somewhere"

"Oh, I will have to try and find her. It will be nice to catch up" I let out a soft sign of relief as my plan of switching the subject worked.

"Yeah she would love that" I added before a cough interrupted us and we both looked to the man.

"I am so sorry. Was so happy you're here that I forgot to introduce Damon Salvatore. He's part of the council and one of the..."

"Original Families" I looked at Damon before adding" I know my Mystic Falls history well"

"Yes, Amelia lived here three years ago before her father got another job in Minnesota." Explained Sherriff Forbes.

"And that town sucks… such a buzz kill town so if you ever travel anywhere that's the place not to go" I added.

He chuckled "I'll keep that in mind."

I let out a slight laugh as well before looking to the ground and that's when I heard my mother. I rolled my eyes.

"Oh my god Liz" my mother said as she came up to us.

"Maria" Sheriff Forbes said.

I glanced at Damon before looking at the two ladies and rolling my eyes. I leaned slightly towards him. "And that is my queue to leave" and I turned and left the ladies to talk.

As I was walking Damon showed up at my side. "May I help you Mr. Salvatore" I said the last part with a slight low accent.

"That was pretty good." He added

I stopped and turned to him. "You avoided my question"

"Can't a guy just make a girl feel welcomed back?" he questioned.

I rolled my eyes. I knew what he was up to. I haven't dated much but I knew what he was doing. "I know what you're doing and FYI it doesn't work" I stepped forward. My fingers lightly touched his chest and trailed up. "I've met man like you and you know what?" I looked him in the eye and shoved him lightly with my hand. "They suck so just back off" and with that said I turned and left. This time he didn't follow.

I walked out onto a balcony and noticed Elena standing there. I smiled with a sign of relief. "Elena, I am so happy to have found you" As I said that I pulled her into a hug but the weird thing was she didn't return it.

I pulled back and looked at her. "You do remember me don't you?"

She just stood there with a confused look on her face. "Elena how-"

"Oh god, Damon drives me crazy" I turned to see Bonnie coming towards us.

"Bonnie" I said with a smile before frowning. "You remember me right?"

Bonnie's eyes widen when she saw me. "Amelia? Oh my god, of course I remember you" She then pulled me into a quick hug.

"Thank god because Elena doesn't"

"Of course Elena remembers. When you left she couldn't stop talking about you"

"Well ask her yourself" I motioned to her.

Bonnie laughed "She must be getting your goat. She did always do that" She then reaching over and placing her hand on Elena arms. Her eyes widen in surprised before pulling away.

"Um, I got to go and pay my respect to Tyler. How about you come with me Amelia" Bonnie said turning to me and grabbing my arm.

"But I wanted to catch up with Ele-"

"Another time, I want to catch up with you so come on" and she dragged me out of the room.

Bonnie dragged me through the Lockwood mansion until I had enough. "Bonnie, seriously what's the big deal?" I snapped as I pulled my arm from her grasp.

"It's nothing ok"

"Well dragging me away like that isn't anything Bonnie. Are you and Elena fighting or something? Because if you are I don't want to be part of it"

"No were not. It's a long story alright."

I rolled my eyes. "Fine, if you can't tell me then I'm out. I've had a long two week. Damon was already a problem and you. All I wanted was to see my old friends but so far it's turn into a disaster so I'm out"

I turned and walked away and right out into the back of the Lockwood mansion. I found a bench in the grass and sat down. I let out a groan of frustration before putting my face into my hands and just sat there as my mind wandered. I think I sat there for a long time because when I lifted my head I saw Elena, Damon and another guy talking not too far away. I decided to go see her again. Maybe Bonnie was right about her forgetting me on purpose. I got up and heading across the yard.

"Elena" I shouted and waved my hand.

She turned and looked at me. I watched as her eyes light up. "Amelia, Oh my god" and she was up in a instant and had me in a hug quick.

"Uff, your fast and you didn't forget me this time"

She pulled back and looked at me confused. "Forget you? How can I forget my best friend in the whole world?"

"Well when we talk inside early you acted like you didn't know me" Elena eyes widen "and are you and Bonnie fighting?" I asked.

"No, why would you think that?"

"Because she dragged me away from you earlier."

"Oh well were not" she smiled. "We are good friends.

"Oh" I ran my hands through my straight long brunette hair. "Today is just getting weird. I also could have sworn your hair was curly too"

"Um, it would be nice to know who this is" the guy that was sitting next to Elena spoke up.

"That my dear brother would be Amelia Johnson" Damon said, before placing his hand up to his mouth as he sort of whispered. "The tease"

I smacked him on the arm and he faked a pout. "I am not a tease you were just being a total flirt" I snapped.

"And that's bad?" he asked before winking. I groaned before rolling my eyes.

Elena shook her head and looked at the guy. "Yes, this is Amelia. She moved away three years ago and we are the best of friends."

"Um, a name would be nice to know Elena?"

"Oh this is Stefan Salvatore my boyfriend"

I grinned at Elena before looking back at Stefan. "Nice to meet a gentlemen Salvatore"

Stefan smirked. "It's a pleasure"

"Amelia Honey, it's time to go" I heard my mother shout. I looked over my shoulder before looking back and rolling my eyes.

"Guess I got to go. I'll see you later Elena. We should slumber it sometime and catch up. It would be nice."

"I agree. I'll let you know when I'm free"

I smiled and waved before taking off up the stairs.

"Ready to go sweetheart" My mother asked.

"Sure" and I followed my mom towards the car.
