Hey guys. So I know I have two other stories out that need major updating, but I wanted to try another story. I'm still trying to finish writing "My Kryptonite" and "Making it all worth while" but I'm kind of in deep writers block…

So in the mean time I figured I would start a new story.

This story is inspired by/based on the television series The Vampire Diaries. Which I do not own.

Hope you guys like it.

Chapter one- (More like a prologue.): 1864

Everything was blurry. The darkness seemed to keep growing around me but I didn't stop running. I couldn't. I had one thing on my mind that kept me going.

Laura

It was my father. He found out about Laura and he used my brother Elliot and I, to capture her. How he figured out about Laura I had no idea. But now Laura was in danger and I needed to get to the church before the council did.

My breathing was starting to get heavy, as I swerved and jumped to get passed the infinite woods. Since when were there so many trees? My heart was pounding hard, my chest felt as if it were hollow and collapsing. The worst-case scenarios screamed through my mind almost as fast as I was running.

What if the council already beat me to the church?

Did my father already tell them about Laura?

Is Laura okay?

Is Laura still alive?

My beating heart instantly dropped to my stomach as soon as I could see the front of the church. I ran into Shackles, my fathers' horse, who was tied to a stump. Seeing that he was the only one around so I presumed that I beat the council.

Without wasting another second I leaped for the church's front door handles, but was shoved off by two hands from behind and thrown onto the dusty ground.

"Where is she?!" screamed a familiar voice. He got on top of me and grabbed me up by my collar.

By instinct, I pushed him off and stood up quickly and faced him.

"Get out of here brother! It's your fault father found out!" I scowled, trying to get back to the door.

His angered face immediately faltered and flushed white. He fell back a few steps losing his balance a little bit. He gulped. "H-he kn-knows about…about Laura?"

Ignoring my idiot brother, I barged through the doors, "Isaac!" I yelled into the dark room. My voice echoed back, bouncing off the walls. The cold and musty air surrounded me and sent chills down my spine. There was no response. But I knew that I wasn't alone.

"Isaac I know you're here damn it!" I yelled again into the chilled room.

I passed through the hall in between the benches on each side. Every movement I made caused echo's to erupt everywhere, making me feel more alone. I reached for a lantern that was hanging on one of the damp stonewalls. I fingered my coat pocket for a match. When I grasped nothing but lint I silently cursed under my breath. I began to search my other pockets when the front doors burst open revealing no one other than my younger idiot brother.

"Elliot I thought I told you to get lost?" I snarled at him.

He tracked town the aisle towards me. "Where's Laura?" He huffed. His head was twisting frantically in hope that he would see her.

"Give me a match." I ordered. I held out my hand in front of him. He looked at it for a moment, eyeing it as if it was going to explode at any second.

"I need to find Laura!" He declared trying to push past me. I shoved him back.

"How do you expect for us to find her in this darkness? Huh?" I questioned harshly.

He stressed as he shoved his hand in his blazer and fumbled out a single match.

I struck it quickly and lit the lantern. I held it up observing the area around me. The stones were dark and cracked, broken pebbles of cement was scattered close beside the wall. I noticed a particular stone that had been disturbed, and was slightly out of place among the rest of the wall.

I handed the lantern to Elliot and ran over to it. I observed it. There was an intercut symbol carved onto the face of the stone.

I recognized it from one of my fathers' journals. It was a hieroglyphic that originated in ancient times. It represented "The first ones". It was a common symbol used by the council. I placed my fingers on the face of the stone and pushed it in. The whole wall moved with it, opening like a door. The walls rumbled around it, pieces off stone breaking off. A small passage was revealed. Well it was more like a very dark tunnel.

With out wasting a second I raced in, not thinking of what I could be possibly running into. I could here Elliot's footsteps behind me. The tunnel twisted and spiraled down. I held myself up by the walls as I ran down the stairs. The only light being the lantern my brother was still holding.

As we got to the bottom the whole room opened up. It was cold, and the air was thick. There were rusty chains bolted to the walls and worn out cells. The walls were bloodstained and the ground beheld ashes, dirt and bones. This place was a prison.

"Isaac!" I screamed. I knew he was down here. There was nowhere else he would be.

"Father! Show yourself!" Elliot lashed.

At last a figure stepped out from the shadows. "My sons please. Don't fret. Why have you come?" he spoke smoothly.

"Where's Laura?" I growled, stepping closer.

He changed as soon as her name left my lips. He cringed. His jaw tightened and his eyes grew dark. "Forget about her! Don't you know what she is? Her kind deserves to die!"

I yanked my father up by his collar. "No!" I protested. "I won't let you hurt her!"

I felt my brother pull me back. He looked at me with a warning. How could he still care about our father after what he just said? He was weak.

He turned toward Isaac. "Father please, let her go, just this one. She has done no harm." He pleaded.

My father huffed. "I pity you, my sons. How could you both be in love with such a creature? Such a monster?"

I glued my feet to the ground, to keep myself from attacking him. Laura wasn't like the others. She wasn't like them.

"Besides," my father added. "You're too late now." He chuckled lowly, " You missed the council. I already handed her over to them."

"What? No, you couldn't of!" Shouted my brother. He leaped forward and it was now my turn to hold him back.

"She's not here Elliot, we need to leave!" I ordered pulling him in front of me and pushing him towards the exit.

He was being foolish. We couldn't waste any more time on our father. He was only there to distract us and we needed to get to the council before they do anything to Laura.

He was dragging along in front of me. Wobbling at his knees as he moved up through the tunnels.

I pushed him hard forward. "Move brother! We mustn't waste time!"

He started to pick up his pace more. Lifting each of his feet higher with each step and taking longer leaps in front of him. As we made it to the top I moved in front of him to lead. I didn't have a clue of where they might have taken her. So I just kept running; out of the church's front doors and back into the black woods, with Elliot following my steps closely from behind.

We kept running in every which direction till where I could spot an open field ahead. The smell of smoke and burning flesh overwhelmed me in the matter of seconds. Getting more near men's voices where echoing, shouting and screaming.

She's awake!

Don't let her get away!

Throw her into the tomb with the others!

Stake her!

When the trees around us finally cleared, the sight upon us was horrific.

Men were running amuck, guns were being fired, and everything around was burning. There were a dozen solders circling around to what it appeared to be a woman. Her curly brown hair knotted and let down to her waist. Her blue corset and gown was muddy and torn.

It was her eyes that caught everybody's attention though. They were black. Looking into them was bone chilling and was as if looking straight into the soul of a demon, and yet all as well alluring and almost impossible to tear yourself away. Dark red veins coursed through out her eyes and traveled down under them beneath her skin. Her mouth was red, and was hissing at the solders around her. Flashing her sharp blood stained fangs that were dripping the dark red liquid and was traveling down the corners of her lips.

It was Laura.

I looked at my brother. His face was filled with fear. I knew it wasn't because of Laura; it was because of the people around her, trying to harm her. I'm certain my face mirrored his.

A gunshot went off. Then two. Then three.

The solders were already around her lifting her body from the ground and going over to put her in the tomb with the rest of the disheveled vampires.

I was ready to run in there and throw myself over her. I looked around and spotted a crashed wagon and four lifeless bodies on the ground surrounding it. I crept over to them and retrieved two of there guns. Tossing one to Elliot.

With out hesitating for a moment Elliot was up and running after the men. I was running quickly beside him. Fear and determination kept us both in sprint toward the tomb. The field was wide. As we reached the rest of the solders they had already thrown Laura inside and was beginning to lock them up.

The rest of it happened too fast.

We attacked the solders.

The solders fought to hold us back.

Elliot yanked himself free, and raced over to the tomb and was trying to unbolt it.

I swung at one of the men, managing to get him off for enough time to grab my gun.

I brought up my arm and aimed it at one of the solders.

A gunshot went off. Then two. Then three.

The last thing I saw was Elliot's lifeless body in front of the tomb.

My body became numb, my muscles gave out and my entire being just seemed to crumble from underneath me and I went down, hitting the ground hard.

And everything went black.

Be honest. Let me know if you liked it and I'll continue. I'm just not sure about it yet.

****(If it seemed like their surroundings and English was weird, it was because this chap was set in 1864. So I tried to make it seem old. Let me know if I at least pulled that off.

******If you didn't catch it, Laura's a vampire. Yes her name is Laura based on the real life Laura Marano, who I do not own. She's supposed to look just like Ally Dawson. ( I think their a pretty good match)

like I said I do not own any of thing except for the writing and Isaac that is mine. The rest belongs to Austin and Ally and the Vampire diaries.

No this will not be a crossover it is just simply inspired /based off of TVD. NO characters from TVD will be in this.
