[The Vampire Diaries] I heard I'm dead

The town of Mystic Falls is not big, so almost everyone knows every outsider.

Alice Brown was such an outsider.She came from the distant city of Phoenix, quietly inheriting the Brown couple's legacy.The Browns were neighbors to the Gilberts, but Elena hadn't seen the Browns for many years.

Many years means a long time.It was so long that Elena had long forgotten their appearance, but the deceased parents had occasionally mentioned this family who moved to New York many years ago.

Now hearing news from Brown again, it turns out that they have passed away.

The Browns were the same age as the Gilberts.Elena couldn't help but think of her parents, tears almost wet her eyelashes.But she held back, in order not to show weakness in front of her younger brother.Her younger brother, Jeremy, was a rebellious youth who couldn't quite take the shock of his parents' sudden death.

Today is the first day of the new term for Elena.Jeremy doesn't know who to hang out with, and Elena can't stop it.She went home alone in frustration, only to realize that she had a new neighbor when she inadvertently saw the lights on in the building next door

.

Alice is also a strange person to say the least.The Browns had no children, and Alice inherited as Mr. Brown's niece.But according to schoolmates, Alice looked very young—probably under 15.

But she is already in the first year of high school.

This is also a strange thing.Although there is nothing wrong with Alice inheriting the property of her uncle's family, it is really incomprehensible for a little girl to settle in Mystic Falls alone. New York is obviously a better place.

What about her guardian, doesn't the government care?

Elena's thoughts stopped here, and she didn't continue to think about it.After all, Alice was no more to her than a stranger, and she was already at her door.

Elena pushed the door open, and she could smell cooking fumes and food.It was Aunt Jenna, a former bad girl who volunteered to be their sibling's guardian.She put down her schoolbag and looked towards the kitchen - oh no, the smell of cooking fume was too choking.Elena couldn't help blurting out: "Jenna, what are you doing?"

"I'm making apple pancakes." Jenna said with some embarrassment. "It seems a little burnt...I'll make it again."

"No need." Elena let herself smile, "I'm a little hungry, I'll eat now. Don't worry, your cooking skills will get better and better."

Jenna accepts Elena's comfort.She looked behind Elena, but there was no second figure, so she asked, "Where's Jeremy?"

Elena hesitated for a moment, but decided to hide the truth: "He went to work in a bar."

"Oh, yes," Jenna finally realized, and said with a smile: "I remembered, that's right, he and your boyfriend Matt are both part-time students in the bar. By the way, is there anything to eat in the bar?"

Elena also smiled slightly: "Don't worry, he won't be hungry."

Jenna saw the light outside the window through the window, leaned closer to Elena and said, "Shall we invite that Miss Brown over for dinner?"

Elena tilted her head, unable to understand what Jenna meant.Has Jenna gotten to know her new neighbors in such a short time?

Jenna denied her such thoughts.She explained, "I think Jeremy might need some new friends." She pouted out the window angrily, "I heard that little Miss Brown is a new high school transfer student..."

There is no need to say what she said next, Elena has already understood the meaning.There was nothing wrong with inviting new neighbors over for dinner, but Elena looked at the pancakes on the plate that were really not looking good, and couldn't say what to invite someone to eat.

Jenna also quickly understood what Elena was hesitating about.She shrugged helplessly: "Well, maybe next time you come forward, call Bonnie and Caroline, and invite Miss Brown to a girl'sday, after all, we can order pizza from the restaurant, then It doesn't show the poor cooking of the hostess."

Elena was amused by her self-deprecating words: "That's just a little girl in her teens, you can call her Alice."

"Okay, okay," Jenna asked vaguely as she forked an apple pancake into her mouth, "Did anything interesting happen at school today?"

Elena subconsciously wanted to answer no, but the boy named Stefan flashed in her mind.He was so mysterious and charming that she was almost lost in those eyes just in recollection.

The experienced Jenna immediately thought of what was in Elena's mind at the moment.She joked, "Why are you blushing?"

Elena replied frankly: "I met a transfer student...not Miss Brown, it was a boy."

Jenna continued to listen to Elena's gossip, but it was completely dark at this moment.Miss Brown's figure was only shown by the window for a moment before being covered by the quickly drawn curtains.She walked into the bedroom and took out a thick black cardboard book from an inconspicuous drawer under the bookcase—it looked like an account book or an album.

It was a photo album.Alice blew the dust off the surface and turned it over one by one.There were photos of Elena, more of Bonnie's, and a photo of them with Alice.Except for Alice, who hasn't changed at all, the other girls in the photo look much smaller than they are now, and it should have been a few years ago.

Elena or Bonnie would be amazed if they were here.You know, they have never met Alice Brown, let alone gifted them with childhood photos.

Alice stroked the photos lightly, sighed, and put them back.She was lying on the bed, but she couldn't sleep at all-how to remind Bonnie and Elena that a vampire entered the school?

Alice regarded them both as the best friends in her heart.But it was impossible for Bonnie and Elena to recognize Alice Brown, and she couldn't rashly step forward to reveal her identity.Besides, didn't she go away just to take the world of supernatural abilities away from them?

But Alice didn't expect that even if she left, danger would still come to her.As a last resort, she can only return here with a new identity.

Alice thought, maybe she misunderstood it from the very beginning. Mystic Falls Town has had all kinds of supernatural legends since ancient times. Maybe the danger was not brought by Alice, but rooted in the soil of this town. .

Outside the silent window, an inexplicable wind suddenly blew up.

Alice immediately became alert—she rushed to the window to look, but there was nothing.But that smell is unmistakable... the smell of a hunter.If there is any smell that Alice is more sensitive to than blood, it is the smell of a vampire who has just sucked blood!

Could it be the young vampire named Stefan who appeared during the day?

The boy was mysterious and melancholy, with a little bit of shyness, just like Edward, the hero of the recent blockbuster vampire movie "Twilight".But Stefan's vampire is different from the one in the movie, he won't shine golden in the sun, in fact he can't walk under the sun——

If not for some bloody witch who made him a solar ring.Alice couldn't help thinking that if she exposed Stefan's true identity to the public, instead of causing fear, would it attract a group of nympho.

Alice didn't want to pursue an unknown vampire on such a night.But if he dared to hurt her friend, wait and see what happens.

After taking a contemplative bath full of thoughts, Alice let herself lie on the soft sponge mattress, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.In fact, she doesn't need to sleep, after all, the last time she slept was too long - it was because of that sleep for hundreds of years that she forgot many things.

Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night.Not only Alice's, but also Stefan's.

He wished so much that he never had this brother, so that the ordinary life he longed for would not be disturbed.

"Ordinary life?" Damon said with a sneer on his face. "Since we became vampires, we can't have an ordinary life."

Yes, Damon is also a vampire.

"I know you want to run away from me—" He laughed very badly: "Unfortunately, I will always be haunted."

"I'm tired." Stefan said, "I'm tired of living like this, brother, please."

Damon shook his fingers: "No, no, this is what you gave me, Stefan, this is what you owe me. It seems that you no longer know how to live as a vampire, so let me wake you up. We need a vampire course-"

Damon walked proudly: "Where do we start? Why not start with that girl named Elena?"

The name touched Stefan's inverse scales.He grabbed Damon's throat at the speed of a vampire, threatening: "You are not allowed to touch her!"

Damon didn't care about that at all.He found Stefan's reaction very interesting: "That is indeed a charming girl. If you can obediently be a pair of friendly brothers with me, I can consider not provoking her, how?"

Stefan stared at the cocky fellow cautiously.In the end, he slowly said a compromise: "I hope you can keep your promise. By the way, if you still want to live in Mystic Falls, don't let yourself become a murderer."

"I will try to control myself, dear brother."
