It was like he was in a different place. The town seemed bigger and brighter. Mostly everyone he passed on the streets walked as if they had nothing to worry it about. This place had a happy vibe to it. It almost seemed…safe. This was not the place he grew up in. It almost seemed like another world, and Scott doesn't know if he loves it or hates it.

Crossing the street, he spotted a young women heading to her car. He smirked as she got in her car to drive off. He followed her until she stopped at the Mystic Grill. She started to get out of the car after checking her reflection in the mirror. Turning around from her car, she was suddenly faced with Scott. She unsuccessfully tried to hold back her surprised gasp. Scott studied the women, noting her slim figure and her brown hair. "Did I scare you?" Scott asked, tilting his head.

She gave a small laugh after studying the guy before her. "Umm…no. I was just surprised."

He gave her a gentle smile. "I'm sorry."

"It's fine," She breathed out, "Did you need any help?"

Scott's smile brightened as he looked over the girl. "Yeah, I'm new to this town."

"Oh, well welcome to Mystic Falls. I'm Haley." She said, holding out her hand.

He grabbed her hand and said, "Scott Charles. And yes, I do need help."

"Well, what do you need?"

"I feel like I've been traveling forever, and now I'm hungry."

"No problem. The Grill has the best food in town."

He chuckled at her response. "No, I'm hungry for something else."

Haley gasped as she saw veins appear below Scott's now black eyes. She turned to run back to her car, but Scott sped in front of her. "Please, don't hurt me." She said, now in tears.

"Sorry, it's what I do." His fangs descended before he tore into Haley's neck. He let her lifeless body fall carelessly to the ground before wiping his mouth. His face returned to normal before his eyes trailed over to Haley's car. "Finally feels like home."

The next morning Liz Forbes had came into the office early. She was soon met by an officer. "Sheriff, we had another attack last night." He stated

Liz sighed, for the last couple of months vampire activity had slowed down. But still she was no idiot, she knew Mystic Falls would never be rid of vampires. "I'll handle it. Tell me about the victim."

"Her name was Haley Smith."

"How old?" She asked, distractedly.

"Seventeen."

Liz shook her head. So young. "Where was the body found?"

"Outside of the Mystic Grill."

"Did anyone see anything?" The officer shook his head. "I'll head out soon. I need to make a phone call." He nodded before leaving. She pulled out her phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Liz?" Came Damon's surprised voice.

"Yes, it's me." She had been expecting the surprise in his voice. She tried to lose contact with the Savatores after trying to kill Damon. "I-I need your help."

"Is this about your vampire daughter?"

"No, Caroline's fine. There was an attack last night outside the Grill."

"You didn't accidentally shoot anymore civilians, did you?"

"Damon, I'm serious. It was a vampire attack."

He went silent for a while. "There are no other vampires here."

"Well, a girl is dead." She sighed, "Will you help me?"

Damon contemplated for a while before rolling his eyes. "I'll meet you outside the grill."

"Thank you." She said, sincerely.

Damon let out a frustrated sigh. He spotted his brother walking into the room. "Sheriff says there was an attack last night."

"Vampire?"

"As always," He looked at his brother's relaxed demeanor. "I was just going to go meet her."

"Want me to tag along?"

"No, I got this one." He nodded and started to leave. "Where are you off to?"

"I was going to feed, then to school. But now that there's a new vampire, I should just go to make sure Elena's okay."

"Then by all means, go to your always distressed damsel."

"Would you two quit it?" Elena Gilbert said, watching her best friend and her brother make out.

They broke apart after her plea. Bonnie turned to face her friend, giving her a sheepish smile. "Sorry Lena."

"I'm not." Jeremy said, smirking at Elena.

Elena rolled her eyes at her brother. "Bonnie, we need to get going. Jere, you coming?"

He shook his head. "No, I'm riding in with Rick."

"Okay, we'll see you there."

"Yeah," They left after Jeremy gave Bonnie one parting kiss.

Caroline parked her car in the parking lot of the school. As soon as she stepped out she was greeted with the sight of Matt. "Matt," She stopped to take in the look on his face. "Is everything okay?"

"Your mom came to see me this morning."

Panic rose in her, the last time her mother plotted with Matt it was to kill her. She had thought they were finally fixing their relationship. She calmed herself long enough to ask, "What about?"

"A girl was killed at the Grill last night." He leaned in closer and lowered his voice. "She said it might have been a…a vampire."

"What?" She asked shocked. "That's impossible."

"Look Care, I know we've all been on the outs but I don't want this to happen again. I-I want to help."

She shook her head. "No, no way."

"Why not?"

"You could get hurt." She stated in a 'duh' tone.

"I'm not asking to go in combat with vampires, I just don't want anymore people getting hurt."

"No one else will, let my mom handle this." She looked around awkwardly. "I have to go meet Tyler." Matt had already known about their relationship, but it didn't make her feel any better.

Matt walked off without another word. Caroline sighed as she thought, why did I have to get the complicated life. She made her way inside of the school and went to her locker. She gasped as two hands wrapped around her, covering her eyes. She didn't even have to guess who was behind her. "Tyler," She smiled, "I know it's you."

Tyler smirked at his girlfriend's words. "Thanks to your vamp senses."

"Says the werewolf." She replied, sarcastically.

"Duke's throwing another party this week."

"I don't know."

"Is Caroline Forbes actually thinking about not going to a party." He asked playfully.

Her face became serious, "There's a new vampire in town. Someone was killed last night."

"Well, then you don't have to worry. You have a wolf to protect you."

"That's not it," she sighed, "I thought after the whole Klaus thing we would be left alone. But now it's this new vampire to screw up everything."

"Don't worry," He said as he pulled her into a hug. "Things are gonna work out. I promise."

They pulled away from the hug and he watched as Caroline relented and nodded her head. He smiled as he leaned down to kiss her.

Bonnie and Elena entered the school together. "Woah," Elena gasped, looking straight ahead. "Who is that?"

Bonnie turned her head to follow her best friend's gaze. It was on a guy, who was walking down the hall. From behind she noticed his hair was messy in a very attractive way. She also noticed the way he was dressed, it reminded her of the first time they saw Stefan. "Doesn't this feel like déjà vu to you?"

Elena smiled at her statement. "You think he's new?"

"I hope not," She muttered, "All new additions that come here are supernatural." She said, thinking about Stefan, Damon, Luka, Elijah, etc.

"You can admit that he's hot though."

"Does Stefan know about this?" Bonnie asked, teasingly.

"Know about what?" Stefan asked as he walked up behind them.

"I think we have a new student." Elena said, glaring at Bonnie.

She laughed in response. "He's going to Alaric's room. He must be in our class."

The three entered their history class and saw the new guy talking with Alaric. He stood relaxed as he talked to Alaric. They made their way to their usual seats, still watching the interaction. The rest of the class soon settled in.

Dana had turned around in her seat to face Elena and Bonnie. "He's so hot." She whispered before turning back.

Alaric had took his place in front of the class.

He looks like an actual teacher, Elena mused.

"Okay guys, we have a new student." He gestured to the guy. "This is Scott Charles, he moved here from…"

"New York." Scott said, smoothly.

Bonnie watched the guy at the front of the class, all the while thinking, he must be nuts.

"Welcome to Mystic Falls." Alaric said, "There's a seat free behind Bonnie. Can you raise your hand?" Scott turned to face the class and he instantly recognized three people. Bonnie didn't even have her hand all the way up before Scott was making his way over to his seat.

He sat frozen as he felt eyes on him from the three people. Bonnie's lips turned in a smile as she stared back at him. "Hi, I'm Bonnie." She stuck her hand out.

Scott smirked, he knew that she was testing to see if she could trust him. She's still the same. He extended his hand to her outstretched one. "Nice to meet you." He saw the relief that she tried to cover up and the look she gave Stefan and Elena. Alaric started to explain the day's lesson, but Scott barely hears. All he can think of is a way to ask them for their help.

After class Stefan, Elena, and Bonnie stick close to each other as they walk the hallways. "So he's human." Elena asked

"I didn't get anything off of him."

"That's good." Stefan added, "But we still need to be on the lookout, there's a new vampire around."

"Great." Elena muttered, sarcastically.

"I'll see you guys later, I have to get to my locker."

They both nodded and waved to the witch. Bonnie went to her locker and started exchanging books for her next class. She closed her locker and made a move to go to her next class. She almost crashed into the figure that was standing behind her. Regaining her composure, she started to speak. "Umm…Scott, right?"

He nodded as a smile came on his face. "Right."

"Can I help you?"

"Actually, I was hoping that you could."

A/N: Let me know what you think.
