A/N: This is a sneak peek of my story. I just wanted to get some feedback on if you think it'd be worth reading. So I'm giving a sneak peek of my writing style for those interested. Please visit my other story, "A love that Consumes" (Discontinued for now) if you'd like to get a taste of my writing style when as far as TVD is concerned.
Full forewarning: I have a REALLY bad habit of leaving my stories unfinished. NOT by choice or because I want to, but becuase life happens. and then by the time I'm ready to pick it up agiain, the story is out of date, the season is finished, no one cares anymore, etc. But this time I want it to be different. I NEED it to be different. I need a few faithful readers that will help me and encourage me to continue. Is that you? :)
Please read and let me know what you think. If you came here from A love that consumes, there WILL be #Delena in this story, since it's a continuation of season 8. Please enjoy.
Caroline POV
"Today, we lost a beautiful soul. He was a brother, a son, a husband, a wonderful, perfect soul." I paused, because I knew I was getting chocked up. I glanced at everyone. The pain was evident in everyone's faces. We had all lost so much. The loss was almost unbearable. But we would survive. We would make it. We had to.
"So let us not dwell on this pain we're feeling," I continued, "but remember Stefan Salvatore for all the good, amazing times. All the great things he did in his lifetime. Let's continue to remember him, always. To Stefan."
"To Stefan." Everyone chanted.
I stepped down from the podium and went to stand between Elena and Bonnie. They both grabbed my hands and squeezed gently. I glanced behind me to see my girls Lizzie and Josie holding Alaric's hands and glancing around. They did not fully understand where Uncle Stefan went, but in time, they would.
We all stood in silence as we remembered Stefan—the man I loved—one last time. He was gone, but would never be forgotten.
"Elena, where are you guys!? It's 6:30 and you are late. You promised to be here to help set up for this, and Alaric could use Damon's support. You two better get here soon! Call me back."
I hung up the phone and scowled at a grinning Bonnie Bennett.
"What?" I snapped.
"It's only 6:30 Caroline. You told them to be here at 7." She replied.
"Oh." I sighed. "Well, don't you know, if you're on time, your late. If you're early, you're on time. Duh!"
Bonnie rolled her eyes and laughed. "Give them a break. It's been a long time since they've seen each other. I'm sure they have a lot of catching up to do."
"Gross." I made a face at her comment. The last thing I wanted was a mental image of my best friend and Damon, "catching up" to be stuck in my head.
"Haha." Bonnie laughed. "So, are you excited for today? Less than 3 hours away!" She grinned at me and I felt my heart flutter a bit.
"Oh my gosh," I gushed, "I still can't believe this is happening. It's crazy."
Today was the open house for our school. The Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted; and I could hardly wait to meet all of the attendees. Word of our school had quickly spread among the supernatural world, and we were expecting a few students.
"You got this. You are Rick and your girls deserve this."
"Mommy! Mommy!" I smiled and mouthed "one sec" to Bonnie as I heard the little voices of Josie and Lizzie calling me.
"Hey girls!" I smiled and bent down to hug them. "Ohhh." I smiled and snuggled them closer. At least I had them. My angels. "Where's your dad?" I asked. They had ran in quickly without him, which could only mean he was not far behind. I heard him before I saw him, but that was due to my supernatural hearing.
"He's right here." Alaric said, smiling. He was carrying a box and smiling. "Do we really need to hang a 'Welcome' banner Care?"
"Yes." I replied without hesitation.
"But—" He began.
"Rick, take my advice, you don't want to go there with her, trust me." Bonnie suggested from behind me. I smirked and nodded.
A/N: This is just a preview of this AMAZING story to come. I am writing it now, as we speak. I have alot in mind for this story. I need you to help me though, please leave me a review stating what you want to happen. When the final season of TVD aired, what were your hopes for it if it were to continue? I look forward to hearing what you have to say, and I hope that I can deliver!
