Into The Dark

Prologue

"Introducing, for the first time ever in Madison Square Garden, Into the Dark!"

That voice sent tingles down my spine as I stood in my place waiting for us to make our grand entrance. I smiled a little as I always did when we were introduced. I still couldn't believe we'd actually made it. It'd all started with a little dream back in high school.

"Ready, Bon-Bon?" Damon asked me, his lips brushing against my ear, seductively.

I pushed him away teasingly but smiled, "As ready as always," I responded, in a confident voice. I pushed some hair out of my eyes and took a deep breath.

He backed away from me, stroking my cheek one last time before he walked back over to the area he was supposed to stand in, directly between Tyler, our bass player, and Damon's brother, Stefan, who played a mean set of drums. He picked up his olive green and black electric guitar and shot me his trademark smirk. He always said the green parts of his guitar reminded him of the color of my 'mossy green' eyes.

I gulped, feeling the regular tingle of butterflies in my stomach that I always felt before a concert. No matter how many times we'd performed, I couldn't shake the nervous feeling I always got. I was the lead singer and my performance was counted on. If I messed up…

I closed my eyes and waited with baited breath as the circle I was standing on to carry me up to the stage slowly started to move upwards. I could hear the screaming of the fans. They were yelling our names, cheering us on… It brought me the biggest adrenalin rush ever.

I finally reached the stage and I grabbed the mic and brought it to my mouth. I saw the other members of my band standing around me in a semi circle and I felt the thrill I always felt when I was performing. The lights flashed tastefully around us and our name and logo played on the giant screen behind us. My blood was pounding in my chest, my breathing was faster than usual, but I knew I was where I belonged. It was where I always knew I'd belong.

I spoke into the microphone, "Are you ready to go into the dark?" I asked, in a loud, confident voice. I was always the one who made the introductions because I was the lead singer. I was the face of the band.

The crowd cheered and I saw the fans cheering and screaming and holding up signs saying 'I love you, Bonnie' and 'Damon, will you marry me?' and 'Elena, you're gorgeous' and things like that. Some were just holding ones with 'Into the Dark' and then our band logo which was something like mist over a pair of vampire teeth. Elena'd always been obsessed with vampires; it had something to do with her being in love with Edward Cullen in the 9th grade. We thought the vampire teeth looked cool nonetheless.

The music to our most famous track 'Teenage Revolution' started to pound and I braced myself. The guys didn't really like this track, but the crowd did. They whooped and cheered as I started to sing, with sweaty arms on the mic. I looked forward towards the crowd; wow, that was a huge audience.

"We're a new generation,we're keeping it real,we're tired of being scared of what to say or feel,"I sang the first line, pounding my hands on my bare knee. I was in a spaghetti-strapped bubble dress in a light violet color with a bow on it, which was my trademark shape, and my hair was flowing behind me: all light brown waves cascading down my back. Vicki, our make-up and clothes advisor had made my eyes all wide with black eyeliner and I had a clear gloss on my lips.

I heard the crowd cheer and went on: "We're sick of the plastic ,we're sick of the pink ,we're sick of people telling us how we oughtta think,"Caroline and Elena, who were standing a little behind me, strumming their guitars and pounding on their keyboards and backing up my vocals echoed my words.

"Don't try to stop us,don't try to tear us down,cause we're the Teenage Revolution, and we're coming to your town,ha,"I continued singing.

I repeated those words and then stepped back so that Damon could have his electric guitar solo. The girls screamed even harder and I felt a little jealousy burn through me, but pushed it away. He'd picked me. I ran a hand through my hair and kept swaying back and forth.

I looked at my band members. Caroline Forbes was the peppy, happy go lucky one dressed now in a pair of bright pink short shorts and a silver flowing top. Her long blonde hair was tied in a braid and her lips had bright pink lipstick on them. She played keyboard and sang backing vocals. She was like a Barbie rock star sort of thing.

Elena Gilbert was another story. She radiated elegance and kindness in the same time as she dressed in her black skinny jeans with a pale pink shirt and on top of it a black leather vest. Her long brown straight hair was tied in a side ponytail and she was smiling at the crowd. I hated it, but she was the gorgeous one the fans admired. She'd always been the most popular of us for some reason. She'd always been the leader. I thought she would have been lead singer but she gave it up because she said I was a better singer. She instead played lead guitar.

I looked back at Tyler Lockwood who was playing on the bass. He was the rapper and a lot of fans admired him for that. He was dressed simply in a pair of dark jeans and a shirt with a slogan on it saying 'Game Over'. I didn't get the relevance but he worked it. Tyler and I had had a thing before, but now it was over. Now, I was kind of with Damon. Tyler was still awfully close to us. He'd been Elena, Caroline and my new band member back in High school when we were still 'etc'. We only became 'Into the Dark' when Damon and Stefan, the talented Salvatore brothers, joined.

Stefan Salvatore was the guy on the drums. He was the moody, secretive yet mysterious member of the band. He wasn't really though. He was now Elena's boyfriend and we'd come to find he was the most protective and sweet guy on the planet. He was used to helping his brother Damon stay in line. He hit the drums with such rhythm I couldn't stay still in my place.

I stepped forward for the next verse and Damon kissed me on the cheek, catching me by surprise. I blushed a little as some people whooped. "We're the new kids on the block, we're sick of all your drama… if you don't like us,go complain to your momma,"I blasted out, trying to keep my voice in tune.

It was exhilarating being on stage in front of all these people. I walked forward and brushed my hand across the first row of fans, causing them to scream. "I love you!"

"We don't wanna be perfect, we're just good at being damaged, you see. Move over, Madonna, we're gonna rock out to the beat,"

I then launched into the chorus with Elena and Caroline backing me up. Fans threw bows at me and I smiled at them and continued singing, I continued living out my dream. And the fans were who propelled us.

'Into the Dark' had taken a whole lot of effort to get to be the band we were today. We'd been through troubles, heartbreaks, betrayals and we'd cried more times than we could remember. I looked around at my band and knew they were more than just that. We were a family and I hoped we always would be.

We weren't perfect and I know that we won't always get along or agree on anything, but we're there for each other. We're 'Into the Dark' and this is our story.

A/N: And scene! I just got this awesome rockstar idea thing that I wanted to do, and I just felt like writing it. It's just a preview btw. Not all the chapters will be this my lyrics suck, I know

I posted chapter 1 as well so check that out, please!

I'll only continue if people are actually reading…

Most of the story is going to focus on how 'Into the Dark' came to be. It's going to be a rollercoaster of events featuring Klaus, Katherine, Elijah and way more characters…

This prologue is in the future, at the end of their story. Get it?

Anyway, leave me a review if you want me to continue this!
