Hi! Thanks for coming to read this story. Of course I don't own the vampire diaries and all rights go to Julie Plec and her amzing team! The only thing I own is the character known as Maggie :)

CHAPTER ONE

Stefan walked quietly into the attic of the boarding house, making sure to not awake Zach, when he stops dead in his tracks. There standing just in front of his window was Damon and Maggie. Stefan's eyes burned with distaste. When he spoke, his voice came out as mild whisper, "Damon. Maggie."

Maggie gave a small wave and Damon smirked, "hello, brother."

Stefan pointed at the two, "when did you get here?"

"We couldn't miss our brother's first day at school, could we Mags?"

"Definitely not!" Maggie cleared her throat and walked up to Stefan. "Stefan, your hair is different! I like it! It suits you better than the 90s grunge look." She walked away and began to explore the room they were in.

"Why are you here? Maggie you hate small towns, you think they're boring! And Damon, you nearly killed that girl tonight. Don't look at me like that. It was obvious that you two were behind all the attacks."

Damon smirks and Maggie giggles. "What can I say little brother, Mags and I like the pill-poppers. They have a nice buzz."

Maggie gasped as she dropped a snow globe sitting on Stefan's desk, Stefan glared at her. "You clearly didn't come all the way back to Mystic Falls just to play games."

"Maybe. Maybe not. We could ask you the same question, Stef. But, I'm fairly sure that your answer is very similar to Damon's. And it is all summed up in one word," Maggie walked up close to Stefan leant by his ear and whispered, "Elena." At the mention of Elena's name, Stefan clenched his jaw and shoved Maggie away from him. She looks at Damon and they share a smile "Ooh, I've hit a nerve."

Damon took a step forward so he was beside Maggie, "she's a dead ringer for Katherine. Is it working Stefan? Being next to her? Being part of her world? Does it make you feel alive?"

Stefan's jaw clenched again, harder. "She isn't Katherine, Damon."

"Let's hope not. We all know how that ended." Stefan's eyes narrowed, his anger threatening to show, but he tried to cover it. Unfortunately, his siblings read him like a book. "So, what was your last meal that you had that was something stronger than a squirrel brother? Mine was a stoner."

Maggie smiled, "mine was a quarter back."

Stefan sighed, "Stop. I know what you're doing and it's not going to work."

"Come on Stef! Don't you crave a little? Let's do it. Go for a family meal. Me, you and Damon."

"Yes little brother, how about we cut to the chase and go straight for Elena?" Damon takes a few steps closer towards Stefan. "I bet you can barely resist her now. Imagine what her blood would taste like. I can." Maggie licked her lips, and Stefan released his anger. He rushed at Damon and both of them went crashing through the window, landing on the floor in a heap. Maggie jumped down and landed gracefully beside them both. "I'm impressed brothers. I give it a six. Stefan, you're style was off, but I was pleasantly surprised. Really good with the whole 'ARGHH' face."

Stefan glared at his siblings, "stay away from Elena. Everything is just fun and games with you two, but wherever you go, people die." Maggie shrugged, but Stefan continued, "But not here. I won't allow it."

Damon pointed to Stefan's hand, "Where's your ring Stefan?" Stefan looks down and realises that his daylight ring had disappeared. Panic flooded through him. He wasn't sure how far his siblings were willing to take this. "Couple of hours little brother, the sun will come out and the poof. Ashes to ashes." Maggie gives Damon an impatient look, indicating that she was getting bored. "Relax. Here." Damon opens up his palm revealing the ring, Stefan steps forward and slipped it onto his finger, and before he could blink an eye Maggie grabbed him by the throat and threw him across the yard.

Maggie struts up to his crumpled body, squats down and looks Stefan right in the eye. "You should know better that to think you're stronger than us. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again Stef."

"Why?" Stefan asked feebly.

"Because we promised you a lifetime of misery. And a lifetime is a long time for a vampire." And with that, Damon and Maggie sped off, leaving Stefan alone in the dark wondering what his siblings had in store for him.
