Chapter One Elena's POV
I was writing in my Diary, thinking about how much i miss my parents.
Dear diary, today will be different. It has to be. I will smile, and it will be believable. My smile will say "I'm fine, thank you." "Yes, I feel much better." I will no longer be the sad little girl who lost her parents. I will start fresh, be someone new. It's the only way I'll make it through.
I put down my diary and walked down stairs, i went into the kitchen and sat down on a chair,
at the table."Toast. I can make toast." Aunt jenna said. i looked at her and i said.
"It's all about the coffee, Aunt Jenna." I told her. Jeremy came out into the kitchen. He walked to the table.
" Is there coffee?" He asked while looking at me.
"Your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared." She took some money and said "Lunch Money?" trying to hand us the money. I didnt take the money.
" I'm good." I told her. I didnt want the money I got out from the seat that i was sitting.
"Anything else? A number two pencil? What am I missing?" Aunt jenna asked. I didn't need any-
thing else. I just had to get to school so i wouldnt be late. Bonnie is driving me.
"Don't you have a big presentation today?" I asked aunt jenna. She looked like she wa thinking a lil bit.
"I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at...now. Crap!" She almost yelled. She took out her hair so it was down not up.
"Then go. We'll be fine." I said. I looked at jeremy and said " You ok?" He loooked at me.
"Don't start" He told me. Start with what? I was wondering. What is with Jeremy, hes been acting weird since are parebts died.
Bonnies Pov
"So Grams is telling me I'm psychic. Our ancestors were from Salem, witches and all that, I know, crazy, but she's going on and on about it, and I'm like, put this woman in a home already! But then I started thinking, I predicted Obama and I predicted Heath Ledger, and I still think Florida will break off and turn into little resort islands. . .Elena! Back in the car." Elena wasnt even listen to me. she was too bussy looking out of the window.
"I did it again, didn't I? I-I'm sorry, Bonnie. You were telling me that. . ."
" That I'm psychic now." I told her. I know that she just misses her parents thats why shes been a lil of latley.
"Right. Ok, then predict something. About me."
"I see. . ." I said (A CROW HIT THE CAR)
"What was that? Oh, my god! Elena, are you ok?" I asked her. Her parents died in a car crash.
I felt so back even though it wasnt my fault.
"It's ok. I'm fine." She told me. Elena looked a lil scared, there was nothing i could do. God that crow is so stupid. i told myself.
"It was like a bird or something. It came out of nowhere." I said coldly. I hope i wasnt to hard when i said that.
"Really, I can't be freaked out by cars for the rest of my life." I started to drive away, We are on our way to school.
"I predict this year is going to be kick ass. And I predict all the sad and dark times are over and you are going to be beyond happy." I told her. She wanted me to predict something about her so i did.
Elena's POV
Me and Bonnie were finally in the school."Major lack of male real estate. Look at the shower curtain on Kelly Beech. She looks like a hot can I still say "tranny mess?" Bonnie said,
"No, that's over." I told her. I had a lil smirk on my face.
"Ahh, find a man, coin a phrase. It's a busy year." Bonnie said. I waved to matt but he just ignored me. I turned back to Bonnie.
"He hates me." He hates me i told her. It really likes, i really wanna be his friend ugh.
"That's not hate. That's "you dumped me, but I'm too cool to show it, but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits." Caroline ran up to me and bonnie.
"Elena. Oh, my god" Caroline said. Caroline hugged me really tight.
"How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you" she said to me. She turned towards Bonnie." How is she? Is she good?" Caroline asked Bonnie.
"Caroline, I'm right here. And I'm fine. Thank you." I told her. Caroline was being a lil weird today, it was strange.
"Really?" She asked. I started to nod And then i said.
"Yes. Much better." I was really happy to have caroline as a friend. She and Bonnie were my best-
Friends.
"Oh, you poor thing." Caroline says while hugging me again. She squeezed me so tight, it hurt but i didnt care.
"Ok, Caroline." I said. i had a really big smile one my face, i was glad that i saw caroline. I love her a bonnie a lot.
"Oh! Ok, see you guys later?" She said. It was sorta like a question...
" Ok! Bye!" Bonie said to caroline. Caroline walked away, probably to go see her other friends.
"No comment." I said to Bonnie.
"I'm not going to say anything." Bonnie said.
JEREMY'S POV

"Pete Wentz, huh? How old school T.R.L. of you. Carson Daly fan?" I said to tyler. He was clearly getting a lil mad at me but i dont care.
"Oh, Ty, be nice. That's Elena's little brother." Vicki said to tyler while she was also looking at me.
"I know who he is. I'll still kick his ass." Tyler said. Him and vicki both walked away.

Me and bonnie were both outside of the office, we saw someone."Hold up. Who's this?" Bonnie asked.
"All I see is back." I told her. we both just stood there. we looked so stupid but oh well i dont care.
"It's a hot back." Bonnie smiled. She was right it is a very hot back.
STEFAN'S POV
I was in the school office."your records are incomplete. You're missing immunization records, and we do insist on transcripts." The Secretary said.
"Please look again. I'm sure everything you need is there." I compelled her to look again.
"Well, you're right. So it is." The Secretary said.
ELENA'S POV
We were still outside the school office. "I'm sensing Seattle, and he plays the guitar." Bonnie said.
"You're really going to run this whole psychic thing into the ground, huh?" I asked her.
She nodded her head and said "Pretty much."I saw jeremy he looked stoned and he was going in to the boyes bathroom.
"I'll be right back." I told bonnie. I started walking away and i heard bonnie say "Please be hot." I walked in to the boys bathroom i walked up to jeremy.
I grabbed his face and looked into his eyes And i said "Great. It's the first day of school and you're stoned."
" No, I'm not." He told me. Bullshit he is totally stoned i was thinking to myself.
"Where is it? Is it on you?" I asked him. I was trying to look in his pockets but he was pushing me back.
" Stop, all right? You need to chill yourself, all right?" He said to me. Chill myself really? I thought.
"Chill myself? What is that, stoner talk? Dude, you are so cool." I told him.
"Look, stop! I don't have anything on me. Are you crazy?" He asked me. I smelled that stuff and it was gross.
" You haven't seen crazy, Jeremy! I gave you a summer pass, but I am done watching you destroy yourself. No, no, no, you know what? Go ahead. Keep it up. But just know that I am going to be there to ruin your buzz every time, you got it? Jeremy, I know who you are. And it's not this person. So don't be this person." I told him. I love Jeremy so much, he was my brother and i didnt want anything to happen to him.
" I don't need this." Jeremy said and then he just walked away. I was walking out the mens room and i run into a really hot guy.
"Uh, pardon me. Um. . .is this the men's room?" He asked me. I looked at the door and back at him.
"Yes. Um, I was just, Um I was just It's a long story. Just. . ." I had a hard time talking. Stefan moved over a bit so i could get by. I said "Think you." He looked at me and smiled i just kept walking. I was in hystory class.
I was in hystory class. Mr. tanner was talking "Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861, it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest region had different ideals than those from the traditional deep south. Then Virginia divided in 1863 with the northwest region joining the union." I wasnt really listening to him. Me and Stefan look at eachother.
Bonnie texted me.
HAWT-E. STARING U.
I quckley look at stefan and then turned back to the front.
I was at the cemetary writing in my diary. " Dear diary, I made it through the day. I must have said, "I'm fine, thanks," at least thirty-seven times. And I didn't mean it once. But no one noticed. When someone asks, "How are you?" They really don't want an answer." No one really Cares about how im feeling and i hate it.
I saw a crow on a nearby tomb, so i walked up to it and said. "Ok. Hi, bird. That's not creepy or anything. Shoo!" The bird flies off. " Thats what i thought" The crow reappears and fog starts to ascend around the cemetary. A man is standing behind a tomb. I start to run. "Ahh!" I tripped and fell and i saw the man that i saw outside of the mens room and he's in my hystory class.
"You ok?" He asked me
"Were you following me?" I asked the really hot guy.
"No, I, uh, I just I saw you fall." He told me
"Uh-huh, and you just happened to be hanging out in a cemetery." I said
"I'm visiting. I have family here." He said. I felt bad for what i just said, it was kinda mean.
"Oh. Wow. Tactless. I'm sorry. It's the fog, It's making me foggy. And then back there,
there was this - this bird, and it was all very Hitchcock for a second. That is the bird movie, right , the Hitchcock? I'm Elena." I said and giggled a lil bit.
"I'm Stefan." He said. He was smiling, i was also smiling.
"I know. We have History together." I said and laughed a lil bit.
"And English and French." He laughed.
"Right." I said. stefan pulled a leaf out of my hair.
"Thanks. Nice ring." I told him.
" Oh. Um, It's a family ring, yeah. I'm kinda stuck with it. It's weird, huh?" I really like his ring,
its not weird at all.
"No, no. It's just, I mean, there are rings and then there's that." I told him. His ring is like really old.
"Did you hurt yourself?" He asked me.
"Hmm?" I didnt know what he ment by that.
"Did you hurt yourself?" He said again pointing to he knee.
"Oh, uh, I don't know." I Pulled up my pants and looked at my knee and i was bleeding. "Oh!
Would you look at that. That is not pretty." I said. stefan turned around so fast, I don't think he likes blood."Are you ok?" I asked him.
"You should go. Take care of that." He told me.
"Really, it's nothing." I said looking at my knee. I looked to where he was standing but he was gone. Where the hell did he go?

"You're such a dick." I said to Tyler. I walked back over to vicki.
"Hey, what's your deal? I mean, summer you act one way and then school starts and you can't be bothered." I said to vicki.
"Look, Jeremy, I really appreciate all the pharmaceuticals, but you can't keep following me around like a lost puppy." That just made me very mad, she's being kind of rude.
"When's the last time you had sex with a puppy?" I asked her.
"Hey, keep it down. I don't want to tell the whole world I deflowered Elena's kid brother." She whispered in my ear.
"Yeah, and deflowered and deflowered." I whispered .
"We hooked up a few times in a drug haze. It's over. You gotta back off before you ruin things between me and Tyler." Why would she wanna be with tyler he's a dick.

"Has she said anything about me?" Matt asked.
"Oh, no. So not getting in the middle. You pick up the phone and call her." I told him.

"And I do." I told him.
"Please, Uncle Stefan. Mystic Falls is a different place now. It's been quiet for years, but there are people who still remember. And you being here, it's just going to stir things up."
Zack said to me. I kow that but i cant leave with out knowing Elena. She looks like Katherine.
"It's not my intention." I told zack.
"Then what is? Why did you come back? After all this time, why now?" He asked.
"I don't have to explain myself." I said to zack
"I know that you can't change what you are. But you don't belong here anymore."He told me.

TANNER'S POV Scene Change:HISTORY CLASS I was teaching my history class."The Battle of Willow Creek took place right at the end of the war in our very own Mystic Falls. How many casualties resulted in this battle? Ms. Bennett?
"Um..a lot? I'm not sure. Like a whole lot." Bonnie said. She was one of my students.
"Cute becomes dumb in an instant, Ms. Bennett. Mr. Donovan? Would you like to take this opportunity to overcome your embedded jock stereotype?" I said
"It's ok, Mr. Tanner, I'm cool with it." Matt said.
"Hmm. Elena? Surely you can enlighten us about one of the town's most significantly historical events?"
"I'm sorry, I-I don't know." Elena said.
"I was willing to be lenient last year for obvious reasons, Elena. But the personal excuses ended with summer break." I told Elena.
"There were 346 casualties. Unless you're counting local civilians." One of my students said.
"That's correct. Mister. . .?" I asked that student.
"Salvatore." Stefan said
"Salvatore. Any relation to the original settlers here at Mystic Falls?" I asked him.
"Distant." Stefan said.
"Well, very good. Except, of course, there were no civilian casualties in this battle." I said
"Actually, there were 27, sir. Confederate soldiers, they fired on the church, believing it to be housing weapons. They were wrong. It was a night of great loss. The founder's archives are, uh, stored in civil hall if you'd like to brush up on your facts. Mr. Tanner." Stefan told me. He was smirking, this isnt funny.
"Hmm." I said

"Wait, you need a crystal ball." I said and gave her a glass bottle. Bonnie was spaced out for a while.
"That was weird. When I touched you, I saw a crow" She said
"What?" I said. i was thinking about the crow i saw earlier.
"A crow. There was fog, a man. I'm drunk. It's the drinking. There's nothing psychic about it. Yeah? Ok, I'm gonna get a refill." Bonnie said. I saw fog and a crow ealier and i also felt like someone was fallowing me. That is very strange.

"Well, I've never really been very good at, uh, chit-chat." He told me. That surprized me.
"Last spring. . my parents' car drove off of a bridge into the lake. And I was in the backseat and I survived, but. . .they didn't. So that's my story." I said.
"You won't be sad forever, Elena." He told me. Stefan was very nice.

I saw mat leave in the ambulance with vick "Hey. We're gonna go to Mainline Coffee, wait for news." Bonnie said.
"I gotta take Jeremy home." I told her
"Elena, there's no way I'm psychic. I know that. But whatever I saw, or I think I saw, I have this feeling..." Bonnie said
"Bonnie, what?" I asked.
"That it's just the beginning." She said. That was a lil weird.
DAMON'S POV "She took my breath away. Elena. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. Is it working, Stefan? Being around her, being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?" I said.
"She's not Katherine." Stefan said
"Well, let's hope not. We both know how that ended. Tell me something, when's the last time you had something stronger than a squirrel?" I asked him. Why the hell would he drink animal blood thats just gross.
"I know what you're doing, Damon. It's not gonna work." Stefan said
"Yeah? Come on. Don't you crave a little?" I asked him. I started to hit Stefan.
"Stop it!" He yelled. Awe poor lil brother i thought.
"Let's do it. Together. I saw a couple girls out there. Or just, let's just cut to the chase,
let's just go straight for Elena."I yelled.
"Stop it." He screamed
"Imagine what her blood tastes like!" I screamed and i smirked. I saw stefans vampire face, then i said. "I can" I was talking about Elena's blood.
"I said stop!" He kept yelling. Stefan ran in to me throwing me out the window he laned on the pavment and i wasnt there. He got up
"I was impressed. I give it a six. Missing style, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very good with the whole face- thing. It was good." I said to him smirking.
"You know, it's all fun and games, Damon, huh? But wherever you go, people die." He said. I like killing people.
"That's a given." I said
"Not here. I won't allow it." He told me. oh poor lil stefy i was thinking
"I take that as an invitation." I said
"Damon, please. After all these years, can't we just give it a rest?" He said.
"I promised you an eternity of misery, so I'm just keeping my word." I told him.
"Just stay away from Elena." He told me. on stefan is in love.
"Where's your ring? Oh, yeah, sun's coming up in a couple of hours, and, poof, ashes to ashes." Stefan started to panick and it was a lil funny. "Relax. It's right here." I said throwing him back his ring. I grabbed Stefan by his neck and through him in to the trash.
"You should know better than to think you're stronger than me. You lost that fight when you stopped feeding on people. I wouldn't try it again. I think we woke Zach up. Sorry, Zach." I told stefan. Why would stefan think that he's stronger than me, That is kinda mess up.
ELENA'S POV I walked up to Jeremy. He was drinking beer. "You ok? I called Jenna, she's on her way. Those people in uniforms, last time I checked, they're the police. People are going to stop giving you breaks, Jer. They just don't care anymore. They don't remember that our parents are dead, because they've got their own lives to deal rest of the world has moved on. You should try, too." I told Jeremy. Wow i talk a lot i said to myself
"I've seen you in the cemetery writing in your diary. Is that-is that supposed to be you moving on?" Jeremy said.
"Mom and Dad wouldn't have wanted this." I told him. Why was Jeremy doing this to himself, our parents parents would never want this.
CAROLINE'S POV
"Are you sober yet?" Bonnie asked me.
"No." I told her.
"Keep drinking. I gotta get you home. I gotta get me home." Bonnie told me.
"Why didn't he go for me? You know, how come the guys that I want never want me?" I said.
I was very sad, i liked stefan but he wanted Elena,
"I'm not touching that." Bonnie said.
"I'm inappropriate. I always say the wrong thing. And... Elena always says the right thing. She doesn't even try! And he just picks her. And she's always the one that everyone picks, for everything. And I try so hard, and... I'm never the one." I said. I just wanted to cry,
"It's not a competition, Caroline." Bonnie said.
"Yeah, it is." I told her. Bonnie got up and left.
MATT'S POV I'm at the hospital vick sleeping the she wakes up. "Vicki. . .Hey. Hey, it's ok. You're gonna be ok."

"Vampire." Vicki said then she vell back to sleep. what the hell was vicki talking about? Why did she just say vampire.
ELENA AND STEFAN'S POV
Elena and stfan were both writing in their diaries at diferent places. "Dear diary, I couldn't have been more wrong. I thought that I could smile, nod my way through it; pretend like it would all be ok." Elena wrote.
"I had a plan. I wanted to change who I was; create a life as someone new, someone without the past." Stefan wrote
"Without the pain." Elena wrote
"Someone alive." Elena and stefan wrote.
"But it's not that easy. The bad things stay with you." Elena wrote
"They follow you." Stefan wrote
